PASSIONS Recaps Week of July 17, 2006

Friday, July 21, 2006
Lust was in the air. Thanks to Siren's aphrodisiac seafood stew: An animalistic Sam burst in on Ivy, hungrily kissed her, threw her down and insisted he had to have her right then. They tossed off their clothes — literally (the clothes were totally up in the air) — and there were romantic fireworks — literally. An overwhelmed Ivy actually had to run upstairs before he performed a vigorous encore.... Meanwhile, Siren put the moves on Fox, who unfortunately for her hadn't had the stew. A frisky Tabitha tried to get her hands on the stew and wrestled over it with Siren, but the rest of the tasty treat spilled.... On the beach, Kay begged Miguel to have sex with her. He fought it until the lust potion she'd slipped him kicked in. At the Blue Note, no potion was needed: Eve and Julian looked cozy, Simone made out with Rae, Whitney danced with Chad and a tipsy Theresa drew appreciative male attention.

Rebecca walked into the Bennett house and giggled at the sight of underwear on the floor and the sound of noisy sex antics upstairs. When a robed Ivy came down, Rebecca congratulated her, and gave her the backhanded compliment of saying she'd thought Ivy was a cold fish, who couldn't inspire such passion. A stark naked Sam came downstairs and started up with Ivy again, causing voyeuristic Rebecca to fan herself. As the duo got horizontal in the hallway, Rebecca made a note to herself go find a blue-collar cop, then sauntered out.

Endora cast a spell that made Fox read Kay's diary. He ran off to stop Kay and Miguel from doing the deed. Too late!

When Whitney pulled away from Chad long enough to chat with Theresa, he made another suspicious-sounding phone call.... As Sheridan grieved over her miscarriage, Fancy comforted her. Luis came in and said he'd always be there for Sheridan.

Siren showed up at the beach in mermaid form, and was irked to see post-coital Kay with Miguel. Back at the club, Theresa spilled a drink on a cute strange man — who called her an idiot!

How did Rebecca describe the sound of Ivy and Sam's lovemaking?

Fox and Sam talk about the Miguel and Kay's romantic getaway. Sam tries to ease Fox's mind, saying that Miguel promised him he wouldn't take advantage of Kay. Miguel and Kay arrived at the Inn. Migs told her there would be no lovemaking because he was too tired, but Kay, knowing she would use her lust potion, wasn't worried. They headed to the restaurant for dinner, which was interrupted when Fox called Miguel to warn him not to have sex with his fiancée. Kay slipped the concoction into Miguel's champagne. After claiming to feel a bit strange, Miguel passionately threw Kay on top of the table to make love. Once back in their room, Kay tried to slow Miguel down. He remembered his promise to Fox and Sam, but he had trouble resisting her.

At Tabby's, Siren tried to get Fox to eat her stew, but he said he wasn't hungry. Sam, however, took a bite. He called for Ivy right away.

Gwen and Theresa exchanged a few nasty words, then Pilar arrived and was thrilled to see her daughter. Theresa told her so much changed during her trip to Rome. Just as Theresa was about to head to see Jane with Ethan and Gwen, Valerie called. Theresa was needed at Crane Industries. Ethan filled Pilar in on Alistair and Marty's death. Little Ethan asked if he could go home with Ethan and Gwen; Theresa was happy to let him go with his father. Once alone, Theresa informed her mom that Ethan is her son's biological dad. Pilar encouraged her daughter to tell Ethan the truth, but Theresa explained why she's keeping it from him. She then told her mom that she is giving up on Ethan forever. Theresa watched the goings on with Gwen and Ethan through the spy camera she put on Gwen's computer.

Luis, Fancy and Chris worried while Sheridan had contractions until the medics arrived and gave her medicine. The contractions stopped. The gang were devastated to learn that Sheridan lost the baby. Chris asked Luis where he got the bracelet with the mysterious Omega symbol. Luis explained that it was Alistair's symbol he gave his henchmen so they'd recognize each other. The doctors told Sheridan they were taking out the fetus, and she begged them not to.

Sam was thrilled that Jessica came home ... until Spike walked in behind her and announced that they are husband and wife. Sam and Ivy were furious, and suggested an annulment. Jess said she wasn't on drugs when they go married, and that she loves her hubby. But it was clear that she wasn't thrilled by being legally hitched to her pimp. She asked Sam if they could live there because they had nowhere else to go. "There is no way you're staying in this house," an irate Sam blurted out. Ivy pulled him aside and talked the chief into letting the newlyweds stay so they could keep an eye on them.

Whitney, Chad and Simone arrived at the hospital to see TC. Eve didn't have a chance to tell him that he had a stroke. The girls were noticeably shocked by their father's condition. Eve told them to be strong. A nanny arrived with Miles. Whitney was thrilled to see her boy, and kissed Chad. They broke the news to a confused Eve and Julian that Chad is not their son; he is Alistair and Liz's son, and that Liz is Eve's adopted sister. Though he could barely move or speak, TC mumbled that he was happy for Whitney. Chad and Jules had a heart-to-heart. Julian informed his half brother that Liz left town. Eve told Chad she was proud to think he was her son, but she's happy that he and Whitney can be happy together. "There is a hole in my heart knowing that I'm not your mother," she sighed. Eve and Julian realized their son could still be out there, or he might be dead. TC apologized to his daughters for being so angry. Chad received a call and walked out of the room. Once again, he told the person that he will continue to see them once he's married.

Miguel yelled at Fox for messing with his car so he couldn't leave for his romantic getaway with Kay. The men argued about the situation. Siren prepared a meal for Fox. Kay searched the attic for a suitcase. When Tabitha and Endora walked in, it became very clear that Kay forgot that the two are witches. She pointed out a box of bones and when she opened an old trunk, a floating head popped up. Tabs tried to cover by saying it was just a video. Surprised by finding out that Tabby is into magic, Kay found a bottle of lust potion she planned to use with Miguel. Tabitha told Kay the concoction is just "pretend." and kept it from her. Kay, Tabs and Endora joined Miguel, Fox and Siren in the kitchen. Kay spotted the potion and snagged it from Tabby. A very excited Kay and Migs headed out for their trip.

On a plane, Theresa struggled to not be upset by watching Ethan with Gwen. She asked Ethan if the three of them could visit Little Ethan as soon as they land. Fancy tried to comfort Luis, who lamented about not being able to bring Marty back to Sheridan. In private, Luis encouraged Noah not to give up on Fancy. Noah told Theresa he thinks Fancy is in love with Luis. Back in Harmony, Fancy, Noah and Luis piled into a limo. Luis told the bickering couple to work things out. They stopped at the Bennett house to drop off Noah, who told Fancy he loves her. Fancy remained cold toward him. Spike and Jessica watched the exchange from steps away.

Noah was happy to be home until he saw Spike, who he attacked. Sam broke them apart, then filled Noah in on his new houseguests.

At the Lopez-Fitzgerald house, Gwen overheard Theresa say that Little Ethan should be calling Ethan "dad" instead of Uncle Ethan.

Sheridan told Chris and the doctor that she was leaving the hospital, whether her release was approved or not. The doc gave her his okay, as long as she stayed relaxed. Luis and Fancy arrived at the cottage, where Sheridan was crying about losing Marty. Sheridan started having contractions; Luis called 911.

While talking to Luis via a Web cam, Sheridan begged him to tell her if their son is okay. Luis walked away and tried to figure out how to break the news that Marty is dead. Fancy gave Luis a pep talk, then headed to the lobby in order to give him privacy. She ran into Ethan and filled him in on the train explosion. She told her half brother that she dumped Noah. Fancy was shocked when Ethan informed her that Theresa vowed to give up on thinking they'll be together. "It's like there is a cold wind from hell tonight," she replied. Fancy tried to encourage Ethan to fight for Theresa. "I love Theresa," he admitted, then quickly pointed out that he's married to someone else. While Fancy asked Ethan if he thinks Gwen could've betrayed him, they were unaware that J.T., the man with proof that Gwen lied to Ethan, was steps away.

Sheridan told Luis she had a feeling that their boy died. Chris grabbed the computer away from his wife and told Luis she is in the hospital. Boothe then plugged in earphones so Sheridan couldn't hear Luis say that Marty died. Sheridan insisted on talking to Luis again. "Is my baby dead?" she kept asking. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry," a crying Luis finally replied. Sheridan demanded details. Luis explained what happened and apologized for failing her again. Just as he shut his computer, Fancy walked in. She tried to be comforting, and told him he will find love again.

Gwen woke up and realized Ethan wasn't in bed. She vowed to kill Theresa if he was with her.... In the piazza, a weeping Theresa informed a comforting Noah that she just called it quits with Ethan. In turn, he told her that Fancy told him their relationship is over, too. He then broke the news to Theresa that Marty was in a train with Alistair and Beth — and it exploded. The duo lamented over all the things that have ended in Rome. Just as they gave each other a hug, Gwen walked up and assumed Theresa was embracing Ethan. Mrs. Winthrop threw Theresa to the ground. Noah pulled Gwen off of Theresa. Gwen explained that she thought Noah was Ethan, but didn't apologize. Noah stood up for Theresa, even though Gwen warned him that he's probably her next victim. Theresa told Gwennie that her husband was with her earlier, and that she told him it was over. Gwen stormed off. When she walked into the hotel lobby, J.T. blackmailed her for money. When he threatened to go to Theresa instead, she said Mrs. Crane didn't have money anymore now that Alistair is alive. Cornell happily informed Gwen that Alistair is actually dead. Seeing Ethan approach the area, J.T. hid. Theresa and Noah walked up just as Gwen and Ethan were hugging and making out. Theresa told Noah she needs to get over it.

In a helicopter, Luis, Fancy and Noah chased Alistair, Beth and Marty, who were on a train. They watched in horror as the train was hit by a missile. Back on land, Luis wept about not wanting to tell Sheridan that their son is dead, and that he is giving her up so she can have a life with Chris and their baby. Noah stopped Fancy from going after Luis. "I love you. I want to be with you," Bennett said to Fancy. Noah put his hand in a lion statue's mouth and said he loves Fancy. There is a legend that if you tell a lie, the lion will bite you. Noah pretended he was bitten as a joke. That only made Fancy irate; she couldn't believe he was trying to be funny when Luis is mourning his son. "We will never be together again," she said. A crying Fancy went straight to Luis.

A crying Theresa made Ethan promise to always be a father figure to Little Ethan. Ethan asked her why she was so emotional. She told him that the night they first made love was the high point of her life. Theresa admitted she has made mistakes, but she did everything because she loves him. "We belong together," she uttered. "But we're never going to be together and I know that now. And my heart is broken forever." Theresa went on to say she doesn't think anyone else out there is for her, but she's moving on for Jane and Little Ethan's sake. Ethan was shocked. He didn't want her to say good-bye, and suggested they be friends. But Theresa said no, and wouldn't even let him touch her. She couldn't deal with him comforting her. When a hand touched her back, she thought it was Ethan and told him to leave her alone. She was happy to see it was Noah, who gave her a hug.

In the hospital, Sheridan screamed about needing to save Marty while the doctor, Pilar and Katherine held her down. Pilar assumed the pregnant woman was merely hallucinating. Before Chris headed out of the cottage, he realized he didn't burn all the documents linking him to Alistair. He burned yet another, but didn't see one under the couch. Even with her husband by her bedside, Sheridan kept asking for Luis. Her motherly instinct knew that something happened to Marty. She made Chris set up his laptop and Web cam. In Fancy's room, Luis was forced to talk to Sheridan. "Where's Marty," she asked. Luis couldn't answer.

Over the phone, Chad told someone that they should still see each other, even after he is married. Simone walked up, but didn't hear what he said. When her sister arrived, Simone informed Whitney that their dad is in critical condition. They rushed back to the hotel to pack up their things and head home. Once Simone and Chad walked out of the room, Chad's cell phone rang. Whit answered, but the person didn't talk back. Chad and Simone returned, and Whitney filled them in. Simone told her sis to call the person back, but Chad stopped her by, saying it was probably just a wrong number. Whitney was thrilled that she can trust Chad.
