 In 2004, Eve's vengeful, adoptive sister Liz Sanbourne discovers Irma's existence and brings her to Harmony to destroy Eve's life by revealing her past to her family. Irma tells them Eve was once a prostitute and drug addict while living in Boston and was involved in a relationship with Julian, who is T. C.' s sworn enemy. The revelations destroy Eve and T. C.'s marriage. Despite her Christian upbringing, Irma is often foul-mouthed; she frequently calls Eve a whore or a slut. When Eve's daughter Simone tells Irma she is a lesbian, Irma — who has previously been kind to her — tells Simone homosexuality is vile and disgusting, and orders her to leave and never come back.
