Simone and Paloma told Jessica to press charges against her abusive husband, but she refused. Once Jess stormed off, Paloma suggested they conduct an intervention. When Sam, Noah and Kay arrived, the girls updated them on Jess's condition. Paloma stopped Noah and Sam from going after Spike, rationalizing that if they kill him, they will go to jail. She and Simone went on to say that they need to cut off communication with Jess unless she dumps Spike; they agreed. Jessica walked in. "If you don't turn Spike in, you're going to die," Simone said. Jessica tried to run out, but Noah stopped her. She refused to admit that Spike beats her, so Noah pulled up her sleeve and said her bruises are in the shape of a hand. They all ganged up on Jess, saying they love her and want her to be happy. Jess lashed out at her dad, pointing out that he couldn't even keep her mother around. Finally, she broke down and admitted she is scared of her husband. She said she is willing to do whatever it takes to make it stop. Sam and crew promised to protect her. Kay gave her sister a hug and went back to Tabitha's to take care of Maria. Spike walked in and saw Sam hugging Jess. "What are you doing to my wife?" the thug barked.

James kept asking his new mom if she was okay. Meanwhile, Sheridan kept recalling the news clip with Luis and Fancy's "porn." Chris stepped outside of the cottage when he heard a noise. Spike popped up behind the bushes and told Boothe he wants money. Once James fell asleep, Sheridan told him she wishes he had met Marty, and that her life didn't turn out quite as she planned.

While driving, Luis flashed back to making the adult movie. Fancy screamed when he nearly got in an accident. Luis apologized for not having his mind on driving. Just then, they were told to head to the Crane estate because a silent alarm was set off. Luis and Fancy arrived at the cottage, and Spike and Chris hid. With gun in hand, Luis searched for an intruder in Sheridan's place. Fancy looked outside for a suspect, then tripped. Luis walked into the bedroom to find Sheridan watching the porn clip on TV.

Over the phone, Whitney told Theresa that Chad was in Boston getting her a doll, and that she feels stupid for thinking he was cheating on her. Theresa confessed that she can't stop thinking about Ethan, even though she's having a romantic night with Jared. She said she doesn't want Jared to be a rebound relationship. They hung up and Whitney walked right over the hotel key that fell out of Chad's pants. She again apologized to Chad for doubting him. He got tense when he spotted the key on the floor, and she asked him what was wrong. He claimed he was just tired. He slyly kicked the key under the pull-out couch and put his pants on. He told Whitney the last thing he wants to do is hurt her. At the hotel, Theresa and Jared turned a dance into making love.

In J.T.'s hotel room, Ethan found Cornell and Rebecca in the closet. When he called Gwen a liar, she fainted. Becks splashed water in her face. Ethan asked the rag reporter if Gwen was his tabloid source for the paternity story. "Noooo!" Gwen whined. Ethan yelled at his wife for blaming Theresa for something she did. "I want a divorce," he said. Then, Ethan woke Gwen up from her nightmare. Yes, folks. All of that really didn't happen. Well, except Gwen really did faint. Ethan heard the noise again, and Gwen frantically stopped him from checking out the closet. She opened the door with her eyes shut. Ethan saw that nobody was there, so Gwen shut the door — but not before spotting Beck and Cornell hiding in the closet corner. When Ethan asked his wife where she got her new lingerie, she recalled her mother pulling it out of her purse before Ethan arrived in the room. Gwen told Ethan it was something old. When they heard a couple making noise on the other side of the wall (it was Theresa and Jared having sex), he rushed out to tell them to be quiet. "This isn't a brothel," he told Gwen, who was happy to see her husband leave the room. She let her mom and J.T. out of the closet and pushed them out. Ethan, unaware of who he was talking to, told the couple next-door to keep it down. Jared opened the door to tell the guy off. Ethan, Theresa and Jared were all shocked to see each other.

Sam berated Fancy and Luis for embarrassing the police department with the faked, but realistic-looking porno film that they made during their undercover work. At the same time, Sheridan and Chris sat in bed gawking at the news footage of the cops getting it on. Paloma, Jessica and Simone were also watching the TV report. They were aghast, but not Spike, who crowed with delight when he saw the footage. Spike gleefully suggested that he and his wife make their own dirty movie. When Jessica tried to leave with her friends, Spike stopped her. She continued on her way so Spike issued a slap, which knocked his wife to the floor. When Paloma and Simone confronted him, Spike claimed Jess had tripped. As Spike smugly nuzzled his subdued wife and made crass comments about Simone's lesbianism, Jess's friends urged her to flee the abusive marriage. She unconvincingly insisted that everything is okay.

Back at the station, Sam was even more irate to hear that Fancy also gave Luis a lap dance. Fancy and Luis took turns defending each other. Sam said nobody would ever believe that their tape was fake. He advised them to stay away from each other and stormed out.

Post-sex, Chad had a flashback to getting in bed with the mystery person, while Whitney went on and on about his coital skill. Unbeknownst to both of them a hotel key fell out of Chad's belongings.... Though in the sack with an enthusiastic Jared, Theresa continued to think about Ethan. Jared noticed that she was distracted, but Theresa claimed she wasn't. Jared was reassured, but his lover couldn't keep her mind off Ethan.... After their respective partners left the room, Whit phoned Theresa to report that Chad's not cheating after all. He just went to Boston to buy her a doll. (Okay, Honey, you keep believing that.)

As Ethan banged on the hotel room door, Gwen freaked out, and J.T. and Rebecca boozed it up and giggled. Ethan broke in to find ... Gwen in black, lacy lingerie. She pretended she'd arranged a romantic encounter. In reality, Rebecca and J.T. were hiding (and making out) in the closet. Ethan didn't buy his wife's story and continued to demand that she reveal J.T.'s whereabouts. When Ethan heard a noise in the closet and moved toward the door, Gwen stopped him with more seductive moves. That didn't stop him from opening the closet door and discovering Rebecca and J.T. "Liar," he shouted at Gwen, who fainted.

When Chad came home with roses, Whitney scolded him. "Tell me where you were and who you were with," she demanded. He recalled being in bed with someone else, but told her that he was in Boston on business. She asked why he didn't call to tell her. She accused him of hiding something from her and begged him to tell her what was going on. He said he went to Boston to get Whitney a doll that looked just like her. She apologized for thinking he was cheating on her, and explained that she's been feeling like something has been off between them. She asked for his forgiveness for doubting him. They made love. Chad privately fretted that being with Whitney is not enough for him.

Kay thanked Endora for granting her wish that she had never been born while Miguel and Fox made out with their dates. Tabitha told Kay that just because the men are rich and dating, it doesn't mean they are better off without her in their life. Fox and Migs stepped out to finish the work they were doing for Tabs, and the girls went on and on about the wealthy guys, whom they plan to divorce in the future. Kay freaked out and decided to teach the girls a lesson, so Endora ruined the girls' hair and dresses. They ran out on the very confused — and of course shirtless — guys. When Fox and Migs left the kitchen, Endora zapped Kay back to life. She was thrilled to be back. Tabitha told her, "Life is really all about love. Finding it, winning it and keeping it." She advised Kay to marry the man she truly loves.

When Sheridan put Chris on the spot, asking him if he's hiding something from her, he said he was so used to having to cover up his past when he was in the Witness Protection program.

Sam and Luis tried to convince Lester to put his gun down and let Fancy go free. The mobster demanded a helicopter and money. Luis signaled Fancy to step away while he tackled Lester. A gunshot went off just before Luis cuffed Lester. When another cop teased Luis about the porn, Sam complimented Luis and Fancy's teamwork. But then the chief told the duo that if they are dating, he's kicking them off the force. Luis said they are not dating. Sam scolded Fancy for going undercover without permission. Luis told his friend that Fancy did a great job. Sam said he hopes nobody sees the video they made. Just then, the other cop walked in and turned on the TV to show them the porn was on the news. Sheridan and Chris were in bed when she got a call to turn on the news. She was shocked to see Luis and Fancy.

At the hotel, Rebecca and Gwen searched for J.T., hoping to get to him before Ethan found the gossiper. Theresa and Jared stepped out into the hotel hallway to see where the noise they heard came from. They found an overturned food cart and headed back to their room. Cornell found Rebecca and Gwen before they found him. Gwen welcomed him to Harmony with a knee to the groin. With J.T. passed out on the floor, Gwen and Rebecca frantically tried to move him before Ethan, who was yelling out for his wife, turned the corner. Ethan walked around in circles looking for Gwen. J.T. stumbled, trying to get into the room he thought was his, however, it was Jared and Theresa's room. The lovers planned to hit the intruder with a bottle, but when they opened the door, nobody was there. Theresa suggested the hotel was haunted, and they returned to bed. Gwen, Rebecca and J.T. rushed to find his room with Ethan hot on their trail. They entered the room just in time. Ethan knocked on the door; Gwen panicked.

Tabitha worried about Kay's whereabouts while Fox and Miguel fixed her stove. When she mentioned Kay's name, the men didn't know who she was talking about. They headed out for their double date. Tabitha realized Endora made Kay's wish of never being born come true. Tabs begged her daughter to bring Kay back to life. Kay reappeared, confused as to what happened. The guys came into the kitchen and walked right through Kay, as if she was invisible. As Tabitha tried to explain to Kay what was going on, Fox and Migs watched the witch, and thought she was talking to herself. Kay encouraged Tabs to find out more about Fox and Miguel's life without Kay, and why they are friends. Their answers made Kay feel like everyone's life was better without her involved.

Sheridan walked into the bathroom where Chris surprised her with a romantic set-up to celebrate her official adoption of James. She pulled her husband into the tub with her. Sheridan shared a childhood memory with Chris, then asked him to tell her one of his own, but he said he didn't have any. "Are you hiding something from me?" she responded.

Lester told Luis and Fancy he knows what they are up to. He suggested Luis paid the original male porn star, Gary, to leave so he could have sex with Fancy instead. The director gave Luis and Fancy a ittle story to go with before they started rolling. Lester told the duo to get into it, so the couple began making noises as they kissed. Fancy fantasized about making love to Luis and exchanging "I love yous." Luis mumbled to Fancy that Sam should be there any second to save them. Moments later, the chief stormed in and was shocked to see Fancy and Luis in bed. Luis told him everything he picked up on behind the scenes for the cops to investigate in order to throw the mob boss in jail. Sam yelled at Fancy for going undercover, especially without telling anyone. Lester grabbed Fancy and put a gun to her head. "Either I walk out of here alive or this girl dies," he threatened.

Theresa arrived at the hotel room where Jared arranged an intimate evening for them. The duo danced, and Jared told Tess he loves her. Theresa imagined Ethan telling her the same thing, then quickly told herself that she can't think of Winthrop. "You're the man that I want to be with," she told Jared. They said they love each other. Theresa changed into lingerie and they had sex. The happy couple heard a noise in the hallway and stepped out to investigate. There, J.T. was on the floor covered in food from a room service cart.

At the B&B, Ethan searched Rebecca's cell phone to see who she had been text messaging. From his hotel room, J.T. sent Becks another message. Ethan read it and continued to ask Becca if she knows J.T. He then said he was going to track down the person who is sending her messages via GPS. Ethan told the nervous Rebecca and Gwen that he knows where the message came from. Becky still claimed she does not know J.T. The phone was traced to a hotel, so Ethan headed there.
