PASSIONS Recaps Week of June 26, 2006Friday, June 30, 2006 Theresa was thrilled about the news that Whitney and Chad are not related, and realized the nun's prediction was right on. The threesome rushed to find J.T. Theresa told Whitney and Chad to celebrate their good news in privacy, but Chad said they need to return the chalice to the Pope first. The couple gave a depressed Theresa an pep talk. While Theresa prayed, she heard Cornell trying to start a motorcycle. She left her crushed cell phone behind. She managed to make J.T. crash his bike. Theresa attacked Cornell and threatened to beat him with a brick. J.T. offered to give Theresa "shattering information" that will bond her with Ethan forever. "Little Ethan's father is Ethan Winthrop!" he announced. Whitney and Chad arrived at the church and handed the chalice to the very grateful nun. Whit eased the sister's worry by telling her that she's not related to Chad after all. She gave the duo her blessing. After they walked away, the nun mumbled about there being "great trials" coming to them. In a hotel room, Chad and Whitney were excited that they can now be together and express their love; they kissed.
In the piazza, Alistair feared what was coming when he heard marching. It was a gay pride parade of sorts; Simone and Paloma turned the corner followed by their new friends they met at the lesbian bar. The women threw punches at Alistair's goons. One tried to attack Alistair, but Beth stepped in an knocked her out first. Gwen showed up just in time to see Ethan being saved from a thug holding a knife at his throat. Beth asked her father once again to make sure Luis was safe. "The lesbians have turned the tide," Alistair said. "Thank God for the lesbians," smiled Beth. All of Alistair's goons ran away, and the Harmonyites and lesbians were left to celebrate. Luis told Alistair it was time for him to pay for all the pain he's caused. Noah asked Al to tell Fancy that he orchestrated their break up, but Crane refused. When Luis wanted to call the authorities to arrest Alistair, the evil man pointed out that he paid off the cops. Luis began choking Alistair. Noah and Ethan pulled Luis off of Al. Fancy was still worried about her grampy's safety. Luis called Interpol for help. Beth begged her dad to get them out of their predicament. He pulled out a remote with a red button. An explosion erupted when he pushed the button. Everyone slowly woke up and realized Alistair had once again disappeared. Noah tried to work things out with Fancy, but she turned her back on him and headed to Luis. They all heard Alistair's voice from above (sounding like it was from a speaker), saying Luis will never find him.
Thursday, June 29, 2006 With Gwen and JT after her, Theresa ran into Whitney and Chad. When her suitors caught up, Chad took off after JT, while Whit watched Theresa taunt Gwen about the incriminating photo she shot with her cell phone. "This is the moment you lost," she crowed, but ah, the dangers of relying on modern technology: her phone was dead. Whitney left the girls to wrestle together over the phone and have their standard argument. Gwen finally got the upper hand and stomped the phone into pieces. "Ha ha, now there is no phone, no picture, no Ethan for you, not now, not ever," she gloated. She announced she'd finally won and we were treated to a montage of their greatest catfight moments. After some more gloating, Gwen left Theresa wallowing over her destroyed cell phone. Whitney went to the chapel to pray for everyone, including herself and Chad. When she prayed for a miracle to let her and Theresa get their men, some candles went out and The Virgin Mary appeared. Her miracle was granted, so she went to find Chad. Instead she found Theresa and told her about the miracle. JT tried to keep Chad at bay by promising he had something that would allow Chad to be with Whitney. When Chad went on the attack, he announced, "She's not your sister, and I can prove it!" When he explained that they were pawns in one of Alistair's games, Chad was thrown, but insisted JT was making it up. "You were playing me," he shot, so JT offered proof in the form of a piece of paper. "It's true," Chad marveled and then dropped the big bombshell — Liz and Alistair are his real parents and because Liz was actually adopted, she's not related to Eve! He still wasn't fool enough to let JT keep the chalice and when he heard Whitney calling, he left JT behind. She was as thrilled to see the chalice as she was to hear his big news. They rejoiced over their miracle. When Theresa caught up, she was bummed she missed JT, but excited over their news. Not only was it good for her friends, but it proved the nun's prophecies would come through. In the piazza, Luis, Paloma, Simone, Noah, Ethan, Edna and Norma were battling Alistair's men for their lives. Fancy insisted Grampy stop it, while Beth begged him to save Luis, but Alistair was loving every second of it. Luis screamed for Paloma and Simone to go get help, but they struck out at the police station. In fact, the only cop left locked himself in an office. Luckily Simone realized she knew "a group of people who hate Alistair, who I can always count on to help me!" She took Paloma to a lesbian bar and proved she was gay too by kissing her pal in front of one of them. Once they explained they needed help bringing Alistair down, she called in the rest of her lesbian friends to kick the butt of "that hateful old breeder." Back at the fight, meanwhile, Beth pulled a gun on her Daddy, because he told her, "I giveth Marty and taketh away Luis. Now, be quiet!" The fighting stopped as all watched on. Alistair ragged on Edna and reminded Beth her money would get her any man, but Beth only wanted Luis. Then Norma realized her "Daddy" was in danger, so she screamed and "scared" the gun out of Beth's hand and into Alistair's — without coming near Beth or the gun. "Kill them all," he roared and the fighting resumed. Just when it looked like the good guys were going to lose, a drumbeat began. "Sick 'em sisters," Simone called, and the lesbians joined the battle.
Wednesday, June 28, 2006 Miguel cuddled with confused Kay, saying lots of lovey things, while her boyfriend and his girlfriend fumed outside the room. Fox was a bit more understanding of Kay's injured state than Siren and the mermaid couldn't really argue, but she worried, "How long is a hot, horny guy supposed to resist a woman like that?" Then they started arguing about who was at fault, with Siren insisting they interrupt. Miguel finally pulled away, telling Kay that he wanted to wait for their wedding night and that she needed rest. "Behave or I'll sleep somewhere else," he warned, but when he went to leave, she tackled him with kisses. When Fox interrupted with the excuse that Miguel he had an urgent call, Kay gave him serious attitude. She tried to follow Miguel out, but Siren blocked her way. Kay didn't know who — or what — Siren was and didn't care. She just wanted to get back to making out with Miguel. Picking up a trick from I LOVE LUCY, Siren grabbed a bat and prepared to knock Kay's memory back. "What's the worst that could happen? I kill Kay?" she laughed. Watching the guys argue downstairs, Tabitha anticipated a "full-fledged fiasco" and, both upstairs and downstairs, it looked like she might be right. Miguel asked if Fox was looking for a fight, which made Fox accuse him of protesting too much and wanting to sleep with Kay. Miguel countered that Fox was being insecure, but Fox was just rattled because he and Kay "express" their love a lot and he figured she'd want to do that with Miguel. He swore he was doing his best to resist and curtail her advances, with the caveat that he IS a man after all. "We're both in this together," Miguel reminded. Whitney led Theresa, Gwen, Ethan and Chad through the catacombs in search of Alistair's lair, where much action going on. Luis was ready to kill Beth himself once he realized she and his son were alive. To protect his daughter, Alistair shot an apparently deadly red light from chalice at Luis, but Fancy foiled Grampy's attempt, throwing herself at Luis and Beth and knocking them out of the line of fire. Alistair rushed to see if she was okay, but she was furious. No matter what he said, Fancy could not get past what she'd seen. She finally had Grampy's number. After Luis determined Marty was all right, Alistair recounted his vendetta against Luis and said, "The first edict of my reign will be your death, Luis." As all this ensued, Fancy and her "Aunt" Beth exchanged jibes and a few good slaps and Edna and Norma were bouncing around in their unique way. After Fancy "told" on Beth, Alistair reminded Luis that the chalice made him unstoppable. That's when he realized JT had absconded with it! He rushed to follow but instead ran into the rest of the underground Harmony crew. The guys wrestled him back into the room, leaving JT to play with the "magic cup." After a bit of recap and posturing, Alistair insisted they better help him find the chalice. Realizing JT had been in there made Ethan notice Gwen and Theresa were gone. With Alistair and Beth held tightly, everyone set out in search of JT, but Gwen and Theresa were ahead of them. Gwen caught up to him first and handed him enough money to disappear. As he counted it, Theresa caught up. She snapped a picture with her cell phone and ran, with Gwen and JT on her tail. Hearing her call for help from the piazza above, Whitney went back into the catacombs and Chad followed, leaving Alistair with the rest of the group. A smug Alistair then called his people into position and the piazza was surrounded!
Tuesday, June 27, 2006 Alone at home, TC refilled his glass of booze, but then drank from the bottle. Drunken and heartbroken over losing Eve, he looked through old photo albums. "I've lost her. I've lost everything," he bemoaned and then decided he had to get "away from these memories." Still working on the bottle, he grabbed his keys and got on the road...CRASH! Fox and Siren sounded off about Miguel sleeping in bed with Kay, but Fox insisted he would let her believe he was her fiancé until "this problem passes." Eve backed him up and hoped Kay would be herself by morning. Miguel swore he had no intentions of getting with his pal, but Kay had other ideas. She was more interested in finding a bottle of wine and making love all night than relaxing with a cup of Tabitha's tea. When Eve took the wine away, Kay didn't lose any steam. "We don't need wine to be romantic," she cooed. Siren asked Tabby if Kay was faking, but the witch didn't suspect so. Kay didn't lose any time once she got Miguel up to bed, but he put her off. Lucky for him, since Fox and Siren were watching through the door. Meanwhile, Julian showed up with the news about his divorce. "We're finally going to be married," Eve cheered...and then the phone rang. It was the hospital calling about TC's accident. "They don't expect him to live!" she cried. Gwen had a hard time getting Ethan to drop the JT issue, but he finally sidled up to her in bed and said, "I don't like lies. I don't like marriages based on lies. I'm just glad I don't have to worry about that." That's when Theresa arrived with Whitney and Chad in tow. Her plan was to share the big news that they were getting back together "tonight," but she was speechless to see Ethan shirtless (as if that's news) with his wife in bed behind him. Chad apologized for interrupting, but Ethan just invited the crew in. Theresa told him of the nun's prediction, but now Ethan had no doubts about his wife's honesty. Whit, meanwhile, filled Chad in on their part of the prediction, which was that they'd get to be together. He believed they would and could, but was for the moment focused on finding Alistair. At the club, Luis tried to beat and strangle Alistair's location out of Spike, but Jessica pointed out that her hubby Spike couldn't tell them anything if he were dead. Luis threw Spike across the room in agreement and it looked like he was dead, but of course he wasn't. As Luis started on him again, Noah pulled Fancy aside. He again swore everything he did with Maya was to protect her, but Fancy wasn't hearing it. When he accused her of having feelings for Luis, she admitted she admired him because he was everything she once thought Noah was. She then stormed back to the action just in time to hear Spike give up Alistair's location. Noah left his sister to Spike and called Ethan while Luis and Fancy got a head start (and some more bonding time) in the catacombs. When the pair spotted a guard, Fancy played the granddaughter card, distracting him so Luis could knock him out from behind. As they made progress, Noah, Simone, Paloma and the crew with Ethan all set out for the catacombs. JT, Edna, Beth and Norma watched as Alistair's reached the "first level of the power," which apparently meant the power to hold a glowing white cup while it inscribed the mystery symbol on walls with a red laser. An impressed Beth asked if she could borrow the cup once he had all the power, but JT barely noticed. He was too distracted by the horrifyingly fantastic secret he'd uncovered. Edna caught him, but he would only say that his discovery gave him power over Alistair. Edna liked the sound of that and cozied up to him as Alistair approached the second level. Now the chalice was releasing two purple lights, which put Norma in a panic. She tackled "Daddy" to save him from the lights, which meant he had to start over. Enter Luis, who instantly started strangling Beth and demanding to know where his son was.
Monday, June 26, 2006 Jessica shocked Noah, Luis, Fancy, Simone and Paloma by introducing her new hubby Herbert Lester (neé Spike). Fancy figured they had to accept it, since they were married. Noah begged his sister to tell Fancy the truth about him and Maya, but Jessica lied and said she wouldn't lie for him or anyone. She looked guilty as she flashed back to Spike's manipulative proposal. He'd played on all her insecurities, from her family to the johns she apparently murdered, and then he'd "remembered" that a husband can't be forced to testify against his wife. "I'll be your knight and I'll save you from the gas chamber," he said on bended knee. Of course, she couldn't explain this to her brother, no matter how supportive he was. Unable to hold back any longer, Luis threw Spike down and demanded to know where Alistair was. In bed with Gwen, Ethan couldn't stop thinking about Theresa and her claims. He asked his wife for "the truth" about JT, asking if her mother was involved and if she herself knew JT. "Something doesn't feel right to me," he revealed and was suspicious when she turned her back on him. Gwen kept her lie up and suggested Theresa was good at business because she was a good liar, but Ethan remained suspicious. "If my wife has been lying to me for years and years and heaping one untruth on top of one another over and over and over again, that's unforgivable," he warned. Theresa was thrilled about the nun's prophecy that she'd get "the man that I love," but "realist" Whitney reminded her to think about the other half of the prophecy, which said there was also "great pain coming in store" for her. "I've been in deep torment over Ethan for years," Theresa responded. "A little more pain, it's not going to do that much more damage." Whit refused to believe the nun's prediction for her, since Chad was still her brother, but Theresa would not be swayed. When she mentioned the anonymous e-mail, Whitney noted that it was as two-sided as the nun's prediction. Theresa didn't care, because she'd "end up living happily ever after with the man that I love, Ethan." The two friends had the infamous glass half empty vs. half full argument in reference to their men. In Al's recreated library, Beth, Norma, Edna and JT tried to entertain themselves while Alistair worked on deciphering the secrets of the chalice, which was glowing red. A curious Norma, who kept calling Al "Daddy," picked up the chalice and a tug-o-war ensued, with Beth and Edna choosing sides. An amused JT watched on as the chalice flew through the air and everyone dove for it. A giddy Alistair got there first. Then Norma and Beth argued about who was Alistair's daughter, which made Edna moan, "Who knew that Precious would be the most normal person I know?" The ladies started wrestling and Alistair got back to talking to the chalice. With everyone so distracted, JT decided to do some snooping — and he found something juicy! Alistair, meanwhile, achieved "the first level of the chalice's power." It glowed white and shot a laser of light that burned the symbol into the wall.
