Whitney is pulled from bed in the convent, and she comes to see her friend Theresa. “Luis is dead," Whitney is told. Theresa says that Luis got involved with something that didn’t concern him while away looking for Marty. Martin feels that Alistair is behind this somehow. That seems to make sense to Whitney. Whitney makes her friend sit. Whitney can’t believe that this is happening. Theresa feels that she is in a nightmare and she can’t get up. Whitney says that the nightmare was marrying Alistair. Theresa says that she can’t deal with the marriage anymore. “I can’t deal with him touching me or anything else. He has raped me many times and it makes me want to kill myself. I want out! I can’t leave though as Alistair said that I wouldn’t see my son if I left him. I feel trapped. I need your help. I need you to help me get rid of Alistair," Theresa says.

Whitney can’t believe what Theresa is asking her. Theresa says that she had a letter opener in her hands a while ago and she was thinking about using it to kill Alistair. “I have to stop him from making me have sex with him against my will. When I close my eyes, I pretend that I am with Ethan but it doesn’t work. He is violent and rough and he enjoys it. I can’t get an annulment. Alistair says that he will take my son and I will never see him again. My motives where selfish when I married him, but I don’t deserve this. I can’t stay with a man that has killed two of my brothers. I will get rid of Alistair and even if I don’t get Ethan. at the very least I will be a rich and powerful widow at the end of it all," Theresa says.

Whitney reminds Theresa that she was almost executed by the state for wanting to murder someone before. Theresa says that this will be different. “I will be stopping my husband from raping me repeatedly. Help me figure this out. I can’t use a knife and I can’t use a gun. What else can I use?" Theresa asks. Whitney will not help with this. “Murder is a sin and I will not help with this. If you do this, then I will be forced to turn you in Theresa," Whitney says.

Whitney stands by what she says. She will turn her friend in if she commits murder. Theresa says that Whitney can go ahead. “God should forgive me for ridding this world of this monster. You can’t depend on anyone else in this world but yourself Whitney. The only way to make sure that everyone else gets out from under that bastard’s thumb is to make sure that he is gone forever!" Theresa shouts.
