Pilar was driving home from the Crane Mansion when her phone ring she picked it up, having to take her eyes of the road for a second too long. When she went to go pick up the telephone, a dog ran into the road as soon as she saw the dog she tried to swerve out of the way but it was too late. 

As she her car swerved off the road, Ivy heard the tires screech. "Pilar? Pilar are you ok? What happen?" She got no answer and heard the car slam into something. She hung up the telephone and called 911.

Luis was getting home from work when he saw his wife talking on the phone her beautiful dark brown hair laying on the back of the sofa. He walked over to her and sat down. She hung up the telephone as he turned to her he could tell something was wrong. "Prue, who was that?" "It's was Ivy Crane. It seems your mother was in a serious accident and has been rushed to Harmony General. She wants you to go there." I thought about going back to Harmony after all this time. She realized I was thinking about it. "Luis, you have to go you mother could be really hurt and you won't want her to die would you before you got to see her. I know you left Harmony for some big reason and I know you said you would never go back. But Luis this is your mother we're talking about, the women who raised you." My mother dying that I could not take.  In addition, Prue was right I had to go see mother. "Of course I'm going to go see her. You sure you and the kids can miss school and work for this?" She smiled at the fact that her husband thought of her and their kids before his own needs. "Of course we can. The kids need to meet their only grandmother any way. And I want to meet the Famous Pilar Lopiz-Fitgerald." He smiled. "And I know she would love to met you too." As Prue saw her, husband go off into to thought she knew he was thinking about Harmony.

Luis walked into the cottage and saw Sheridan packing. He walked over to her. "What do you think you're doing!" She turned around to face him. "I'm packing to leave Luis! I can't stand to be in the same city as you!" He took the suitcase and dumped its insides on the floor. "You're not leaving!" She started to pick up the stuff on the floor. "Yes I am! Either that or you leave because you know just as well as I do that living in the same city together for us is a bad thing." "Fine, Sheridan I'll leave. I was offered a job a good job any way in San Francisco! I wasn't going to take the job but now I know I have to!" He started to leave when she walked up to him and grabbed his hand. "Luis don't…" "Sheridan, I have to. If wasn't for you family I won't have to!" That is when she slapped him. Then he walked out the door. He got into the car and drove off thinking about the reason he was leaving. He had found proof that her father and Julian had tried to break them up with that stupid mask. He told her and she got so mad at him for even thinking that her family would do that. She took the mask out of his hand and threw it in the fire.  He had marched out of the cottage.

When he got home after being at Sheridan's cottage, he ran into Theresa. He tried to pass her but she stopped him. "Luis we need to talk." "Theresa, not now." "Yes, now I need to tell you something." "Theresa, can't this wait." "No, I need to tell you that Ethan and I are a couple." Luis got very angry. "Theresa! You better be joking! Because I don't want you with any of those Cranes." "Luis if this is because of that stupid mask! Which I never saw, then Luis forget it. You're just out to get them and that's all there is to it." He was ready to scream his heart out at her but knew it was pointless because when Theresa really believed in her heart that something was right then that was all there is to it. "Fine, Theresa believe what ever you want but if you stay with Ethan then you can't live here." "Fine, then I'll move in with him." She started to head up to her room when Miguel walked in though the front door. He went right up to Luis "I just came from the Bennett's house.  Sam said you were leaving to go work in San Francisco. Is that true?  Luis looked at his little brother. "Yes, it is Miguel. I got offered a job there." Miguel got furious. "I can't believe you. We are a family and you cannot just leave us here. I thought the word "family" meant something in this house!" Then Pilar walked in the door. "It does, Miguel. Luis, I want to talk to you in the kitchen." He followed her into the kitchen. "Luis, are you really leaving?" "Yes, mama I have to. There is a very good job waiting for me in San Francisco. " "I wish you won't leave but if you have to then you have to. But promise me one thing." "What's that mama?" "That you'll never forget your family. That when ever anyone of us needs you you'll be there for us." She was starting to cry. "Of course, mama. I could never forget yall mama." He walked over and hugged his mother.

Miguel was sitting on his couch, when his wife walked in. She looked very upset. He got up and walked over to her. "Kay, what's wrong?" She looked at him shocked. "You didn't hear? I thought Ivy Crane called you. She said she was called her son." "Called about what?" "About you mother, she's been in a very bad car accident. She is in the hospital now. I guess she called Luis." "Why would she call Luis when I was right here in town." "I don't know Miguel but I want to go check on her." "Me too." They grabbed their stuff and hurried to the hospital.

When Matt got home, he saw his wife sitting in the kitchen eating apple and talking on the telephone. "Thank you so much for calling me. Of course, I will be there as soon as I can. Bye." She hung up the telephone. Matt walked over to her. "So who was that?" "It was Ivy Crane she called me to tell me that mama was in a horrible accident and she's in the hospital." She looked like she had been crying. "Theresa, honey are you ok?" He went over to her and hugged her. "Matt, I have to go and see her." "You won't have to go alone the kids and I will go with you." She smiled, trying to act happy but she could not help but start to think about when she left Harmony.

Ethan and Theresa had moved into together. At first, it was picture perfect but that did not last too long. One morning, the last morning that Theresa was there, she walked in on Ethan talking to Julian about her. "Ethan, I don't even know why she's living her. She is the housekeeper's daughter. You cannot possibly love her. The only thing she has going for her is her looks." Ethan looked like he was gong try to defend her but he did not.  "Dad, what do you want me to do I can't kick her out. She has no where's to go." "Well, she doesn't have to be here." Ethan knew that if he were stand up to his father that it will not be good and Theresa would understand right. "Maybe she'll move back home." Julian suggested.  "No, Luis kicked her out. She will not go back for anything. I just don't know what do, dad." Theresa walked in, "Don't worry, Ethan. I'll be out by the afternoon." He looked at her and could tell she was hurt. "Theresa..." He wanted to try to explain to her. "I said not to worry. I mean it's not like I would stay where I was not wanted." "But Theresa where are you going to go?" "I was thinking about leaving Harmony any way and now that I have no reason to stay then I will go." She then walked out of the study and up to her and Ethan's room. She quickly got packed making sure not to take anything that Ethan had given her. As she grabbed her stuff and tried to leave the room, Ethan tried to stop her and explain. However, she will not let him.  She just walked right by him. As soon as she got out side she broke down and started cry. She left town that same day.  She had not exactly planed on going to Glenoak but she arrived there because that is as far as she could get with all her money.
