PASSIONS Recaps Week of May 23, 2005

Friday, May 27, 2005
Theresa locked herself in her room with baby Jane. Gwen and Pilar looked on as Ethan pounded and pounded on the door and tried to talk some sense into Ms. Lopez-Fitzgerald. "No matter what you do, I'm gonna get Jane back," he told her. "You're gonna have to kill me first!" Theresa screamed at her. Pilar and Ethan wondered how to get Theresa out of the room, but Gwen had a more practical solution: breaking the door down. "No way, we'll scare the baby to death," Ethan countered. Meanwhile, Theresa moved her dresser over to block the door, making it even more difficult for them to get in.

Pilar filled Martin in on what was going on with Theresa. "She has brought this on herself," Pilar sighed, noting that she understands why the judge thought Theresa was unstable and gave Ethan and Gwen custody of Jane. "At times like this, Theresa needs her father," she explained. Upstairs, Ethan picked at the lock, but Theresa informed him that she'd barracaded herself in. "Do you really want us to call the police?" Gwen warned, but Ethan refused to let that happen. Instead, he tried to reason with Theresa by bringing up the Bible and King Solomon. "The solution was to cut the baby in half!" Theresa spat. Next it was Martin's turn to appeal to his daughter, but he didn't have any luck, either. Nor did Gwen, who asked if they could call a truce.

Tabitha, donning her best flapper wear, told Endora all about her latest plan to break up Luis and Sheridan and how their "smoldering love will go up in smoke." Meanwhile, Luis and Sheridan argued over her belief that Marty is her son; Sheridan told him that the reason they're having so many problems is because he doesn't believe in her. "I guess I've still got it," Tabitha said, as she watched the unhappy couple from her magic bowl. Tabby was especially pleased when her Friends In the Basement complimented her work. To celebrate, Tabitha fixed herself a Martimmy and toasted her friend. Later, Tabitha got a message from the late Timmy (in the form of a feather falling from the sky and a spotlight shining), who disapproved of Tabby being pleased about Shuis's problems. "Don't blame this mess on me," Tabby pouted. However, Tim-Tim refused to let "an old witch have a little fun," and went about breaking her vases and shaking her room like an earthquake had hit. Back in Shuis's camp, Sheridan heard a baby crying. "Do not say that I am crazy!" she stated.

In Vegas, Ned (donning a robe) and Fancy (wearing a blue cocktail dress) ordered some strawberries and champagne in their hotel room. "Don't forget the whipped cream," Ned purred to room service. Meanwhile, the cops got a call from the hotel noting that the kitchen had noticed some weird charges. After dining, Ned got dressed to go out. As he did so, Fancy caught a peek of his tight abs as she looked at his reflection in her compact. En route, they were stopped.

Kay told Sam that she'd tried to prevent Jessica from going to a sleazy club — and that Jess had tossed their dinner at her. Sam wondered why Jessica is so angry with him, but Kay assured him that Jess is the one with the problem. "I think I've let all my kids down," he sighed, citing his busy work schedule as one reason for doing so. "You were a great dad," Kay praised, making dinner for him. "If anything, I'm the one who should apologize." Sam then learned that his son, Noah, hasn't been enrolled at college.

When Fancy accidentally fell in bed with Ned, he insulted her, then realized she was shaking and tried to comfort her. Ned realized the shady guy he warned Fancy about attacked her. She cried on Ned's shirtless shoulder. Ned confessed to a smitten Fancy that he is a "squatter" and shared his con-man ways by scamming room service. Fancy and Ned flirted while enjoying a candlelit dinner in the hotel room.

Gwen asked Ethan if he thinks about Theresa while they are making love. Gwen told Ethan that if he wants to be with Theresa, to leave her and let her move on. Ethan assured his wife that he wants to have a family with her. Theresa continued to state her case about Ethan really loving her, not Gwen. Theresa and Gwen threatened each other. Theresa offended Pilar while talking about marriage. After vowing to never let Ethan and Gwen take Jane away, Theresa pretended to go get her daughter. Ethan and Gwen soon realized Theresa locked herself and Jane in her bedroom.

Tabitha used her magic powers (and a loud speaker) to influence Dottie to redo the DNA test. Dottie called Bernard for backup in the lab. A thrilled Tabitha watched through her magic bowl.

Sheridan arrived home to her empty cottage, but Luis walked in right behind her. The duo argued once again, and it ended with a crying Sheridan saying their relationship was over. "I have to leave you," she said.

In Las Vegas, Ned bet all of his money during a game of poker, unaware that he was being scammed. Ned tried to stop Fancy from leaving with an abusive man, but she went back to a room with him anyway. The guy came on strong to an increasingly uncomfortable Fancy. He tried to rape her, but she knocked him over the head with a glass and ran away. He chased her through the halls of the hotel. Fancy ended up in a room that was under construction. While walking in the dark, she landed on a bed — with Ned!

Believing he chose her over Gwen, Theresa was excited to see Ethan at her door. He broke the news that he was there to get Jane. Theresa argued with Ethan, and begged him not to take their daughter away. He assured her that she can visit Jane as much as she wants. Gwen walked in and Theresa attacked her. An angry and cruel Theresa claimed that Ethan still loves her, not Gwen.

Tabitha watched Sheridan's goings-on through her magic bowl. Luis thought Sheridan was dumping him, but she was just telling him that he needs to believe her when it comes to Beth being evil. Luis said they need evidence; Sheridan said she can't get past the fact that he doesn't believe her. Tabitha put a spell on Sheridan that sent her in search of Dottie. Luis and Katherine argued. Meanwhile, Sheridan, in a trance, told Dottie "the truth is in the DNA." Sheridan snapped out of it and apologized. Dottie assured her friend that she's not going crazy. Before walking out, Sheridan mentioned she though Beth could be her half sister. Dottie checked out the DNA results to see if it's true.

Gwen and Ethan discussed bringing Jane home. Ethan told his wife that he still wants Theresa to be a part of her daughter's life.

At the Lopez-Fitzgerald home, Luis and Pilar talked about Sheridan thinking Marty is her son. The cop updated his mother on Beth's "confession" that Alistair paid her to break up his relationship with Sheridan. Theresa walked in and told her brother that he needs o trust Sheridan and pointed out that Katherine is not their problem. In turn, Luis noted that Theresa didn't listen to anyone's advice and is now without Ethan and Jane. Luis left to work things out with Sheridan. While Theresa was confident that Ethan would never actually take Jane from her, he and Gwen arrived to pick up the baby. Ethan was very hesitant and insisted on going in by himself. Theresa was excited to see Ethan alone at the door; she thought he was there to reunite with her....

At Tabitha's place, Sheridan called Dottie while in a trance from Endora's spell. Dottie assured her friend that even if they did another DNA test, the results would still prove Beth is Marty's mother. Sheridan left to find Dottie. Tabby watched Sheridan through her magic bowl. Sheridan ran into her mother in the park. Katherine snapped her daughter out of the trance. Sheridan updated Kat on Beth's fake confession and vented about Luis still not trusting her. Luis arrived and argued with Sheridan about her mother. Due to Endora's spell, Sheridan let out her anger.

Alone on the wharf, Sam talked about Jessica's bad-girl behavior and how pitiful his life has become. Luis walked up and asked his pal what he was worrying about; Sam opened up about Jessica. The friends then talked about Sheridan believing Beth kidnapped her and stole her baby. Sam pointed out that strange things happen in Harmony. "Like when your house fell into that sinkhole and disappeared," Luis asked. Uh, yeah, that is certainly one....

In the Bennett kitchen, a frying-pan-wielding Kay lectured her rebellious sister about the dangers of her recent party-girl ways. Jessica snapped, claiming she doesn't want Ivy or Grace with her father. Kay tried to force Jessica to eat the pot roast she made. Jess threw it toward Kay, but missed her sis. Kay threatened Jessica with the pan again and told her to go to her room. Alone, Kay cleaned up and tried to figure out how to help Sam with Jessica. In her room, Jess vented about Kay and vowed that her sister will not stop her from doing what she wants. Then she climbed out of her window....

In a private gambling room in Las Vegas, Ned won big with Sandra by his side. Outside of the high-stakes area, Fancy argued with the doorman who didn't let her in without an invitation. Mary told the egotistical Fancy she can't come in. Once Mary left, a stranger handed the bouncer cash in order to let Fancy into the party. After winning again at roulette, Ned turned to kiss Sandra, but it was Fancy in her seat. Ned quickly explained he thought she was Sandra. The annoyed beauty accused him of stealing her invitation. When he pulled out the paper, she pointed out that her lipstick was on it. Ned passed it off as a mix-up. The argument caused Ned to lose money. Sandra returned and Ned had to explain that he was kissing Fancy and he lost his winnings. Fancy threatened to have Ned thrown out, but he pointed out she doesn't even have an invitation....

At Tabitha's house, Sheridan vented about her situation with Luis. Without the women noticing, Endora morphed into Marty. At the Wallace household, Edna flipped out when she noticed Marty turned into Endora. But by the time Luis and Beth looked at the young boy, he was back to himself. When Mrs. W handed Marty a cookie, he morphed back into Endora. Edna covered while thinking that Marty turned into a girl again. Luis left to find Sheridan. Edna made her daughter check the kid out. Mrs. W thought she was going crazy because the baby was back to Marty. Meanwhile, Tabby tried to convince Sheridan to fight for her child. When the witch saw her baby was actually Marty, she distracted Sheridan by pouring tea on her lap. Before Tab could talk "Endora" into switching back to herself, Sheridan spotted her son. Just then, Endora appeared again. Sheridan thought she was just confused. She told Tab that she thinks Beth may be her sister. Tabitha suggested calling Dottie to rerun the DNA test. Sheridan thanked Tabby.
