Prolouge2: Passions Episode 2231 (Final Episode)
Author's note: I do not own anything!
I added some personal thoughts to the characters. My ideas of what they could have been thinking.
Please enjoy!
"Kay! You zapped in the wrong mortal," exclaimed Tabitha. "We don't need Esme."
"Uhh… Excuse me," Esme said as she stood up with a champagne glass in her left hand and a half empty bottle in her right.
"Sorry," apologized Kay. Kay then began to rub her hands together getting ready to try again. "I'll get Father Lonigan."
With a wave of her hands she performs magic making Father Lonigan appear in the middle of the aisles of the church.
"Why do I sense I moved without moving," asked Father Lonigan.
"Ugh Father I brought you up to the church father," said Kay as she takes Tabitha's hand to move towards Father Lonigan.
"Kay," exclaims Father Lonigan. "Kay whats going on?...Why?...How?"
"Ill explain later Father," says Kay. "Right now..I just need you to baptize Tabitha. She's here…along with Eve and Julian…and Miguel and Esme.. and Endora."
"I'm sorry," apologies Father Lonigan. "But there is no way in Hell that I will ever baptize that Witch."
"But..but you don't understand what is at stake here Father," exclaims Kay. "You have to baptize Tabitha!"
"Kay it is you that doesn't understand. For years I've known that Harmony had its own residence of evil. The doer of dark deeds is none other than Tabitha Lenox," states Father Lonigan.
"How do you know that," asks Eve.
"Alistar Crane told me," said Father Lonigan.
"Well.. It takes one to know one I suppose," said Esme. Esme then takes another sip of her champagne.
"Father if you knew that Tabitha was a witch… why didn't you say something," asks Miguel.
Taking a deep breath Father Lonigan confesses why he didn't say anything. "I thought I could be more affective fighting her evil if she didn't know that I knew."
"Okay! Enough back story. Just baptize her and do it quickly," says Julian.
"I will not be party to baptizing a witch," Father Lonigan states.
"Father if you don't Harmony will be destroyed," Kay states quickly.
"Its true padre. The long dormant volcano…Mount Harmony is Erupting," states Julian.
"Father the lava is on its way to the town as we speak," says Eve.
"I was just down stairs with Chief Bennet. He nor his fellow officers said anything about Harmony being in the path of molten rock."
"That's because the dark side has cut off all mortal communication," said Eve.
"Father if we don't baptize Tabitha we all will be dead before dawn," declared Kay.
"Ethan. This…This is proof," said Theresa. "The proof that Gwen and Rebecca outed you as a Bennett to the tabloids… not me!"
"You know I'm just sh..shocked by these turn of events," said Rebecaa. "Just…just shocked I say!"
Pilar laughs. "Oh my God please!"
"You're going to know everything," cried out Theresa. "We're going to be together!"
"Oh God," Gwen said out loud.
In the distance Theresa is smiling tears of joy. Her prayers for a miracle has come true.
*Passions Theme Song (short)*
Breathe in, breathe out
You keep me alive
You are my passion for life
…..
"Okay Chief play the tape," says Theresa. "I want Ethan to hear everything right now."
As Ethan walks over to his father, Sam, with the camera (next to Theresa), Rebecca motions to Gwen to back step quietly towards the door to escape. As Gwen and Rebecca begin making a few small steps Sam Bennett walks behind them, blocking the closed door.
Clearing his throat Sam asks Gwen and Rebecca, "Where do you think you're going?"
"Ummmm… My limo's double parked," lies Rebecca.
"Yea! Her limo's double parked," says Gwen.
"Shut up," interrupts Ethan. "You two are going to watch the tape with the rest of us."
"This is the proof I've been praying for," said Theresa. "The proof that I needed ever since Gwen burned the original proof in the incinerator at the mansion. Right here Gwen…in her own words admit to everything that she has done to tear us apart. How she has lied to you about me all along."
After listening and looking at Theresa closely, Ethan looks over at Gwen and Rebecca.
Gwen and Rebecca exchange glances as they stand petrified.
"Evil must have possessed you good people to try and trick me," said Father Lonigan. "But there is no way I will be of party to baptizing an Evil Witch like Tabitha!"
"I knew it," said Tabitha angrily. "All that talk about…. Being Baptized is the Key to Living Forever is a load of Hogwash!"
"All you mortals are the same," continues Tabitha. "Even you! The so called man of the church! You don't forgive and you don't forget. And you sure as hell.. Practice what you Preach!"
"That angry tone. That nasty attitude," says Father Lonigan in disbelief. "Is that you Tabitha?"
"No padre," says sarcastic Tabitha. "It's mother Theresa."
"Merciful heaven," says Father Lonigan. "How can you… a pawn of the dark side….be in this holy place and not be consumed in fire?!"
"BECAUSE FATHER BLIND AS A BAT, IM NOT A WITCH ANYMORE!"
"HA! Lying hag."
"No its true Father," says Esme. "The other night at the rehearsal dinner, when Vicky and Vincent poisoned everybody with mushroom sauce… Tabitha gave up her powers to save your preachers."
"Ah! And what a stupid mistake that was," exclaimed Tabitha. "I gave up my powers for nothing!"
"And now I … And now I get grief…from…from the likes of You," states Tabitha. "Ra…Religious rep in Harmony… so called! Well you can stay here and die with the rest of them. Because believe me, I am not begging to be Baptized!"
Father Longian feels terrible deep inside.
"Come on Endora," said angry and little sad Tabitha as she takes her daughters hand. " I've changed my mind. Zap us out of here! Oh...and…and Fluffy too." Tabitha looks up from her daughter to look at everyone else. "Send us to Precious. Leave these mortals to die. It's exactly what they deserve." Then Tabitha begins take her and Endora towards the exit.
Down in the basement Theresa picks up the camera, which has been hooked up to the television. Everyone else in the room is surrounded around in a semi circle to watch the tape.
'Please God," pleads Theresa in her mind. 'Let the truth finally come out.'
Theresa pushes the play button and walks back to stand between Ethan and her mother Pilar.
"At least Ivy was dumb enough to keep proof that Ethan was Sam's son at Pilar's house and not in a safety deposit box," said Rebecca's voice on the video tape.
*Ivy looks over at Rebecca. 'I couldn't put it in a safety deposit box you tramp. The Crane's owned everything. They would have found it…and I thought it was a good idea at the time because Julian was getting suspicious at the time. Snooping around all my stuff trying to find my secret which was Ethan's paternity,' thought Ivy.*
*Rebecca presses her lips together and shifts her stance*
"Theresa found the proof…where from which she scanned it into her laptop." Continued Rebecca's voice on the tape.
*Sam points to the television*
*Gwen closes her eyes for a brief moment to gain some kind of composure before the rest of the tape continues.*
"Where from which we sent it to the Tabloids," said Rebecca.
*Luis listens to the tape and looks over at Rebecca and Gwen*
"Mother… I mean that was Genius," stated Gwen. "Theresa never could explain why she didn't out, out Ethan as a Bennett when the proof came from her computer."
*Sheridan stares at the television with her mouth opened slightly as she listens to the horrified truth.*
*Antonio continues to look back and forth from the television screen and Gwen. Looks of unbelief and hatred towards Gwen and her mother Rebecca flared from Antonio's eyes. 'How hateful those two are and to hurt my family,' thought Antonio.*
"Everyone blamed Theresa for ruining Ethan's life," said Rebecca. "Including Ethan!"
*Pilar slightly nods her head*
"And Julian divorced Ivy," said Rebecca. "Allowing me to marry my pookie and get my hands on all that delicious Crane money."
"I mean who knew that J.T. Cornell kept digging into Ethan and Theresa's lives!" said Gwen.
*Noah listens to the truth unfold. 'Wow if this is just the beginning of the lies I would not want to be Ethan right now,' thought Noah.*
"Eventually expanding his excavation… to where he had dirt on half of Harmony," continued Gwen.
"Which I helped him Blackmail," added Rebecca.
"It was J.T. who found out Ethan was and not Julian was little Ethan's father," exclaimed Gwen.
*Sam places his hands in his into his pant pockets and looks more closely at Gwen's reactions to their own secrets coming out.*
*Gwen closes her eyes tightly and opens them in panic to her future words she knows will come next...*
"Theresa finally got the truth out of him in Rome…" said Gwen
*Pilar holds her daughters hand to keep her steady.*
"But was too afraid to tell Ethan after she lost custody of Jane," continued Gwen.
*Theresa leans slightly to look at Gwen. 'Gwen didn't find out about little Ethan till just a few days before my divorce with Jared Casey. Was it that obvious to why I didn't tell Ethan that first night in Rome? I mean of course it was…duh,' thought Theresa.*
"Once we found out we used Theresa's fear of losing Ethan against her so she would keep on keeping quiet," said Rebecca.
*Ethan looks at Theresa, shock on his face. 'I understand now,' thought Ethan. Ethan looks back at the monitor to listen.*
"It wasn't till she got uppity about telling Ethan the truth that we went back to J.T.'s handy dandy USB stick and found dirt on Pilar."
*Theresa was watching Ethan's face through this trying to figure out if with all this truth coming out if he would still forgive her for not telling him earlier and she was worried more about how Ethan was taking this. She could feel how shocking this all was at once for him. She quickly looks at Gwen and Rebecca when their voices talk about the J.T.'s thumb drive and her mother's old secret that threatened her entire family.*
"Who would have thought Pilar," said Gwen.
*Pilar continues to hold her daughters hand and looks at Gwen and Rebecca.*
*Antonio presses his lips together tightly. Sheridan puts her hand on her hip. Antonio and Sheridan look over at Gwen - glairs mixed with boiling anger and disbelief.*
"The Saint of Harmony," continued Gwen
*Pilar shifts her stance*
"Killed a man, who was responsible for his children being murdered in front of their mother!" stated Gwen.
*Antonio looks back at the television screen.*
*Sheridan shifts footing and looks up to the ceiling.*
"That fact," said Rebecca.
*Sam glares down Rebecca with his hands crossed across his chest.*
*Rebecca continues to fidget but keep as much icy scheming lying posture as possible as she looks away from all eye contact.*
*Gwen gives a deep sigh and rolls her eyes. 'Ugh I can't believe this is happening. Why did that little brat have to fix that camera? It was broken! Mother smashed it first saving us before Ethan and I recommitted. When little Ethan thought he fixed it only had one line, and I lied myself out of that. Then Esme made sure of it being completely shattered when she knocked it to the ground when tripping drunk. If this video camera doesn't shut up soon it's just going to get worse. I just need to come up with something soon to get myself out of this one,' thought horrified Gwen.*
"Gave us absolute power of Pilar… and Theresa," continued Rebecca.
*Luis looks over at Gwen and Theresa*
"Threatening to unleash Juanita Vazquez on those low life Lopez-Fitzgerelds…" continued Rebecca.
"Kept Theresa's yap shut, about little Ethan being Ethan's son," continued Rebecca.
*In the distance Little Ethan is listening to the truth. 'I'm so glad that the truth of me being dad's son come out. I'm so proud to have a father like Ethan, then Julian. Dad (Ethan) has always been more like a father to me. Now with all this truth coming out… now mom and dad can be together,' thought little Ethan with a smile on his face.*
"Theresa couldn't even tell Ethan that their son could donate part of his liver to save your son with Ethan," continued Rebecca quickly.
*Theresa touches Ethan's folded arms with her right hand. And watches Ethan closely frightened because she hadn't gotten the chance to tell Ethan this yet. 'I love you Ethan. I'm so sorry I had to keep this all from you," thought Theresa.*
*Ethan looks up to the sky and clenches his teeth together. 'I should have realized this earlier when Theresa told me about little Ethan being my son. Now I understand what happened all those months ago when I thought Theresa abandoned me when my son Jonathan was ill in the hospital. She was doing everything she could to help save my baby with Gwen. So that little boy who came out after the procedure was my son, Little Ethan. That's the reason why Theresa was relieved that the 'other boy' was unharmed during the surgery or sick from any side effects. That's why Theresa was about to follow that boy when being wheeled into a room. That where little Ethan was when Gwen told me that Theresa sent him away for the Christmas holidays. That's where Theresa continued to disappear to and lie about where she had been,' thought Ethan.*
Gwen chuckled. "I mean I LOVED…," boosted Gwen.
*Sam continues to stare down Rebecca and Gwen seeing all the truth come off their faces.*
"That Theresa made herself mean and selfish to Ethan as we were looking for a donor," continued Gwen.
*Gwen and Rebecca get uncomfortable and continue to shift.*
"I am so proud how you handled that whole thing honey," Rebecca told Gwen.
*'You gave me no choice Gwen but to lie to Ethan when I just wanted to tell him the truth. I almost lost Ethan because of your blackmail to my entire family,' thought Theresa.*
"And it worked," said Gwen.
*Gwen listens and is thinking a lot inside her head*
"Theresa was to selfless to let an innocent child die so she tarnished herself in Ethan's eyes to secretly save Jonathan," continued Gwen.
*Gwen hung her head just as everyone turned to look at Gwen*
"Going to Mexico to reason with Juanita was vintage Theresa," said Rebecca. "Only that doe eyed little dunts…"
*'You vile women,' thinks Pilar.*
"…Thought she could make peace with the rabid Bitch who ran the Mexican Mob," continued Rebecca.
"The rest they say is history," quoted Rebecca.
"Not only are we forcing Theresa to stay disguised as Gertrude so Ethan will recommit to you," Rebecca gleefuly stated.
*Rebecca winces. 'Now they know that we knew Theresa was alive and was Gertrude,' thought Rebecca. 'Well it was the plan so my daughter could be happy with that hunk of a man.*
"Juanita is headed to Harmony to kill Pilar's entire family including inlaws and close friends," continued Rebecca.
*Therea and Pilar think, 'They were connected by Juanita. Rebecca and Gwen heard from Juanita that she was coming and they still wanted my family dead.'*
"You will email me the funeral notices won't you mother," asked Gwen.
"With Pleasure," said Rebecca snakelike.
*Gwen looks over at her mother.*
Ethan walks forwards towards the video camera on top of the television. "Enough," he says angrily as he shuts of the camera. Ethan looks at the floor, stomps his foot, rests a angered hand on the top of the television, and closes his eyes. Taking a moment to gather himself he turns his body, looks at Gwen with disgust and hatred. He slightly turns his head at his beloved, breaths in sharply then turns back to Gwen. Then Ethan begins to walk towards Gwen slowly.
"You were willing to let Pilar," asked Ethan. "And her whole family be killed?"
*Gwen avoids eye contact with Ethan*
"You know I knew you had no schools," interrupts Ivy. "But to be an accessory to murder?"
"What! I never killed anybody," exclaims Rebecca. "Okay I mean there was that one time that Eve drank that poison punch but she didn't die…Then I …. oooooppps…. Never Mind."
*Gwen looks at the floor and holds her head in-between her hands.*
"Juanita almost killed mama and Theresa in Mexico. If she hadn't been caught tonight she would have killed us all," applied Piloma.
Across the room Sheridan speaks," You know how losing Marty changed me. And how desperate I was to get him back and all the horrible things I did to Luis and Fancy after that. But you were still willing to let my son die. Just to get Ethan back. You Bitch!"
*'Oh my God. My best friend hates me now,' thought Gwen.*
"You know! You guys are soooo missing the point here. Okay. Juanita never would have found any of you if Theresa hadn't gone down to Mexico."
"Exactly! I mean that is what opened the door for Juanita to track down Pilar and her family here in Harmony. Not ANYTHING that my mother and I did," exclaimed Gwen.
After Ethan hears Gwen he looks at Gwen with more hatred. "So…so you admit it," asks Ethan. "You admit that you lied to me all these years?"
*Gwen takes a step back. Guilt and sadness written on her face*
"You revealed my true paternity. YOU did it. Yep. And you kept Theresa from me? And you were willing to let our… Our Son die…just so you could hold on to me," questioned Ethan.
"And to top it all off…you were willing to let Pilar and her whole family be slaughtered just so you and I could have a nice happy ending," said angry Ethan.
*Pilar swallows as she watches Ethan speak to Gwen.*
"With Jonathan," adds Ethan. "How nice that would have been right?"
"Gwen! You are an evil Bitch," said Ethan.
*Gwen takes a step back and realizes Ethan hates her now.*
As Ethan stares at uncomfortable Gwen, Sam is staring at Rebecca with anger and hatred because of what he just heard of the truth that Gwen and Rebecca did to his son. Rebecca ignores the harsh glares and watches nervously at Ethan.
….
"Ethan," says Gwen. "I am not evil. I am your wife. I love you. You love me! And you have got to believe me when I tell you that I didn't do ANYTHING to hurt anyone ESPECIALLLY THERESA AND HER FAMILY!"
*Sam looks at Gwen in pure disbelief*
"That's right," exclaims Rebecca.
*Theresa wonders what Gwen is pulling now.*
"How can I believe you? Hmmmm," asks Ethan.
*Theresa walks forward wondering what Gwen is going to try to say now to worm her way out of this one to scheme her way back into Ethan's good graces.*
"After everything I've heard on that tape," urges Ethan. "How am I supposed to believe you ever again?!"
