Confrontations and Revelations

As Gwen walks into Ethan's hospital room, she sees the figure lean over Ethan, whispering words of love. THERESA! She thinks to herself, then without so much as a blink, yells out, "GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY HUSBAND!"

Turning around fast, Theresa moves away from Ethan. "Gwen, please."

"NO! Oh, NO! You have NO right to be here, Theresa! Ethan is MY husband! How dare you! You put him in this position! You've done nothing but made our lives miserable since you've entered them! First, you made me loose Sarah, then I lost my little boy, and now, because of your selfish ways, I'm going to loose my husband. Do you NOT have any remorse for your actions?"

"Gwen, I did not make you loose Sarah, you did that on your own when you left the hospital AND when you strangled me."

"Oh, my god! Are you kidding me? It's because of YOU and watching YOU kissing MY husband on the TV that I came after you! I would NEVER put my child in danger!"

"Well, you did. And it was YOU and Ethan who caused me to loose your son."

Hearing enough, Gwen lunges for Theresa, wrapping her hands around her throat. "You bitch! How dare you! How dare you! I wish you were dead! Hell, I'll put you there myself if I have to! Damn you, Theresa, damn you to hell!"

As Gwen continues to attempt to strangle Theresa, she is suddenly pulled off by Sam. "Gwen! What are you doing!"

"Sam, I'm getting rid of Theresa! What does it look like? It's because of HER we're in this situation to begin with!"

"Oh, just let her die, Sam, the world is better off without her!" Ivy chips in.

"Quiet, all of you! My God, do you SEE where we are? We're in the ICU, and all this racket has got to stop! Theresa, look, I'm sorry, but you can't be here. Don't you see the pain this is causing all of us?"

"Sam, please, I love Ethan. I never meant for this to happen."

"Oh, Right, Theresa, just like you didn't mean for me to loose Sarah, like you didn't mean to make me loose Nathan, that's right, everything you do is for the right thing, isn't it?" Gwen chips in, standing next to Ivy.

"I swear I didn't mean for this to happen! I would never let my child's father die purposely."

"Theresa, maybe it's best for you to go." Sam says gently, about to steer her to the door, when Dr. Eve Russell walks in.

"Then again, Sam, maybe it's not a good idea." Eve chips in.

"Why, Eve? What's going on with Ethan?" Gwen says, causing everyone to worry.

"What news do you have, Dr. Russell? Please, tell us."

"I was reading over Ethan's will, making sure that he really wanted us to take him off the machines. What I didn't notice, however, was that he assigned a power of attorney to enforce that decision."

"Yes, Eve, and I am that power of attorney, because I am Ethan's wife, and I know what my husband wants." Gwen chips in.

"You are his wife, Gwen, yes, but, he does not list you as his power of attorney."

"What! That's impossible, let me see those papers!" Gwen says, snatching the papers out of Eve's hand. "If I'm not Ethan's power of attorney, then who…" Looking down at the name on the paper, Gwen then lifts her head, glaring at Theresa with venom in her eyes.

"YOU!"
