PASSIONS Recaps Week of October 16, 2006

Friday, October 20, 2006
Kay panicked as Fox asked Kay to let him into the bathroom, where she was in the bathtub with Miguel. Miguel was forced to hold his breath under water when Fox used a key to get in. Before Fox discovered him, Miguel was magically transported back to his bed, dry as a whistle in his jammies. Kay wondered if her romantic rendezvous with Miguel had all been a dream. If it's a dream, Miguel replied, there's no reason I can't kiss you, and he proceeded to do just that. Kay fled from him and surprised Fox with a passionate smooch.

Luis slept at the Crane mansion, in a guest bedroom next to Fancy’s. Both Sheridan and Fancy spent a sleepless night longing for Luis.

Tabitha and Julian threatened each other over custody of Endora. Tabitha reminded Julian that his pal Timmy wouldn't have approved of his return to the dark side, which led to some vintage TimTim flashbacks.

Gwen and Rebecca mulled over Theresa's comment that she could have Ethan, but the price would be too great. They wondered why Theresa all of a sudden wanted to keep J.T. and Ethan apart. Mother and daughter searched the hotel for J.T. and soon encountered Theresa and Whitney, who were doing the same thing. Gwen warned Theresa she was determined to uncover her secret, but Theresa urged Gwen to leave it alone...for all of their sakes.

Theresa and Gwen fretted as Ethan fought to pull Rebecca's love partner out of the dirty sheets. Jared tried to comfort Theresa, while Gwen's suspicions grew. "She should be gloating, lording this over us that she's finally won," Rebecca agreed. "But instead, she looks like she just ate her last Chimichanga." And then she looked relieved when Ethan uncovered JT...and it wasn't him, but rather an apologetic bellhop. The hotel employee suggested Ethan must have been chasing his co-worker Alberto, who was, conveniently enough, from Rome. Rebecca went with it and Ethan had to eat crow. When Beccs had the bellhop alone, she tipped him for his lies and flirted away, but asked for a rain check on getting dirty with him. Then she returned to her worried daughter's side and their concern grew when Ethan asked for a "private moment" with Theresa. They eavesdropped as Ethan asked her, "What the hell is going on?" Theresa's explanation was, "I'm tired." She went on to question why JT would "even come back to the United States" and tell him she'd given up on her and Ethan for good. Though Gwen couldn't see her hubby's face, she didn't miss his heartbreak and as he returned to their room, she and Rebecca heard tearful Theresa mutter, "I love you. And even if I could have you, the price would just be too high." Ethan made the rounds, apologizing to everyone, including Jared and Theresa. "I know you were just trying to have a nice evening with Theresa, Jared, and I was trying to have a nice evening with Gwen, and I seemed to pretty much ruin it for everyone." Theresa and Gwen shot meaningful looks back at each other.

Sam told Noah and Paloma that Spike and Jessica left. "God only knows where they are. And God only knows what he is making her do," he worried, and of course Spike had Jess all dressed and ready for hooking. Against her will, she picked up two guys. Sam, who'd figured out his daughter was being blackmailed, showed up just as Spike took the john's money. Spike was thrilled at Sam, Noah and Paloma's impotent pain and fury.

Watching Kay and Miguel in Endora's head, Tabitha shook her own head after the fact that mortals always "muck up" love. "Mortals drool. Witches rule," Endora thought. Tabby was just glad witches don't fall in love, which was a surprise to Endora, and then asked her daughter to bring Kay back before Fox realized she was off with Miguel. Unfortunately, Julian had already drawn his attention to that. "Where you find Miguel, you will find Kay," he surmised, correctly guessing Kay was in his competition's arms. Fox tried to deny the possibility, but Julian warned that as her first love, Miguel had a leg up. "You must find them and you must get rid of Miguel for good," he instructed. In Endora's head, meanwhile, Miguel told Kay he wouldn't want Charity even if she returned. "This whole Charity thing was just an infatuation," he promised and called Kay his soul mate. As she began to give in, Endora sent a shot to bring them back, but it didn't work, so Tabby called inside to remind Kay to think of Fox. Kay broke their kiss and the pair returned to their back and forth. "To Fox, I'm his Charity," she noted, but Miguel countered, "You can't marry a guy just because he's never had a great love in his past." Kay remained unconvinced. Meanwhile, with Julian by his side, Fox questioned Tabitha about Kay's whereabouts. When he set off to find them, Julian reminded Tabby he wanted to be part of Endora's life, but Tabby wasn't going to see that happen! Once they were rid of Julian, Endora shot a successful spell...except Kay didn't come out of her head with Miguel. A second shot and the pair was freed, with Kay's last words being, "I'm going to marry Fox." Fox battled his jealousy, but his father pressured him until he returned to looking for Kay and Miguel. When the duo popped out of the bathtub together, their squeals caught his attention. They were trapped!

Julian couldn't stop daydreaming about Eve even as he did Crane business on the phone, but when he finished, he reminded himself that their love was over. Then he ran into the lady herself, who was back for some of her things. He was at first nice, but then hissed about her staying with TC, "Lovemaking must be something grand, yes? With his weakened limbs and his drool-infused speech." He called her a "gold-digging whore" and said security would frisk her before she left, but she was only there to pick up something sentimental. After some back and forth, she left, storming, "I just want to forget that I ever knew you." Julian called insults after her, but his heart wasn't in it. Eve returned home to find TC watching one of their favorite movies and as she fluffed his pillows, thought, "Sometimes first love isn't what you remember it to be." Then the pair reminisced about their terrible date when they first watched this movie. "This ended up being one of the best love stories ever," she remembered. "Whenever I see this movie, it always reminds me no matter how chaotic or crazy life gets, you can always depend on a loved one to help you heal." He apologized for having forgotten that himself and she gave him a peck on the lips.

Tabitha told Endora to stop being such a child and free Miguel and Kay from the enchanted ballroom in her head (but she is a child, Tabitha....). Then Fox came into the kitchen and told Endora he'd only taken her chocolates to protect her tummy. He asked after Kay and decided to crunch numbers while he awaited her return. Endora shared her chocolate with him because she figured, "I gave Kay to Miguel." Unfortunately for Miguel, he made the mistake of mentioning Fox and Kay pulled away again. She couldn't deny she loved Miguel, but insisted she loved Fox too and reminded Miguel that he'd abandoned her and Maria for Charity. She questioned whether she was his second choice, anyway, and though she seemed tempted, wouldn't be convinced. "Follow your heart and let it lead you down the aisle to me," he pleaded. She countered by asking what he would do if Charity came back. In the kitchen, meanwhile, Fox had a little bonding session with "Endorable," making her question her magic. Then Julian arrived and the Crane men went off to talk business — and love. Julian got Fox riled up when he noted Kay's car was in the garage.

Gwen and Theresa warned Ethan that if he startled the lovers on the ledge, they might fall. While Gwen wondered why Theresa was suddenly hiding JT, Ethan poked his head out anyway and spotted Rebecca and JT. JT hid around the corner and then Rebecca followed, but Gwen stopped Ethan from joining them out there. He was all fired up, now sure JT also had the answer to why Theresa had stopped pursuing him and named him in her will. Jared tried to support Theresa, but she said it was "too late. Once Ethan finds JT, everything's going to be over." She even encouraged him to help Ethan, so she could get it over with. Then Pilar called to tell her that Little E fell asleep with a gift from Ethan and after hearing what was going on, said, "God works in mysterious ways." Theresa was sure it was the end of her, and even admitted that she'd played a part in ruining Ethan's future by scanning the paternity document to begin with. Ethan, meanwhile, almost scared Rebecca to death — literally! But he caught her before she fell off the ledge. She was mad at JT for not helping, but sent him to hide while she had everyone's attention. The crew pulled Becks through the window and Ethan left her where she landed to go after JT, who jumped back into the room Theresa was in. JT went right back out the window while Theresa stalled. Ethan stormed in and spotted JT going away. Rebecca, meanwhile, slipped out, helped JT into Jared's room and slapped him. "Do we really have time for foreplay?" he asked, and they made their getaway. Ethan made chase, with Gwen lagging behind. Jared, meanwhile, questioned Theresa, but she followed the crew without answering. Ethan found Rebecca in a pile of dirty sheets. "It's over," Theresa sighed.

Luis and Sheridan backpedaled out of the embrace Chris and Fancy found them in, but then Sheridan decided she couldn't lie to her hubby. "I still have very deep feelings for Luis," she admitted, and asked to be alone with Chris. In the living room, Fancy took Luis' hand and empathized with how Sheridan must have felt seeing the porno footage and admired Luis because, "Any other man in the world would be bitter and angry that a woman chose another man, but not you." Back in the room, Chris pled his case and asked Sheridan if she really was choosing him. "I want you to think about it and give me your final answer, because I can't bear to have this conversation again," he said, so she went to look at Luis and Fancy. "I choose you, and I choose James," she said. She admitted it would take time to get over Luis and then Chris suggested they join "the others." She apologized to Luis and Fancy and promised to "do a better job of hiding my emotions next time." The goodnights were uncomfortable and laden with sadness.

Tabitha was relieved to see her daughter had some bad in her, but warned that Endora's "enchanted ballroom" might just lead to more confusion, instead of revenge on Fox. In the ballroom, Kay pulled away from Miguel, breaking their kisses and then their oh-so-romantic dance, but Miguel wouldn't be cowed. He insisted a marriage to Fox would be a nightmare and that they belonged together. Confetti fell, as if to prove it, but she ran off. The lights went out and then Tabby figured out the pair was trapped in Endora's head! Inside, Kay heard Tabitha telling Endora to reverse the spell and caught onto what was going on. Miguel found her and again proposed. Tabby called in for her to "have patience" and she agreed. Then she told Miguel, "I admit you are a temptation, but there are temptations in every marriage," but Miguel countered that, "People are only tempted when they don't follow their hearts." He seemed more confident than ever, no matter how Kay denied him, and they were soon back to the dance floor. "Our love transported us," Miguel maintained and Kay finally admitted she loved him.

Sam broke up the growling fight between Spike and Noah and, after tossing Spike aside, demurred that they had to respect Jessica's marriage. Then he gave her the number of a shrink and Noah insisted he'd drive her to every appointment, so Spike told Sam to arrest his attacker. Sam asked if Spike physically provoked the fight and when even Paloma had to deny it, he had to arrest Noah. Paloma read him his rights as they left. Simone followed, after trying tried to talk Jessica into her senses, leaving Sam and Ivy to deal with the nasty couple. Sam threatened that he'd find out what Spike had over Jess, so Spike announced they were moving out. Jess balked, but Spike ultimately won, as always. He almost lost her when he told her she'd have to hook again, but she followed him out in the rain. At the police station, meanwhile, Paloma and Noah made small talk. It was quite flirty indeed, especially when Paloma asked him for his wet shirt. Before getting him a new one, she enjoyed the view and told him she admired his commitment to his family. Simone didn't miss a beat when she arrived and got Paloma to admit she was crushing. She cooed, "He's so strong and so caring, and he has a body of a matador...."

Theresa was grossed out to realize Rebecca and JT were doing the nasty on the ledge, but to Gwen's relief, she didn't point them out. But then everyone became suspicious of how long it took Theresa to say no one was out there. Theresa was of course worried JT would tell Ethan about Little E's paternity. When someone from the hotel front desk interrupted to let them know someone was having sex outside their room, Ethan demanded, "Why didn't you tell me — tell us — that you saw people out on that ledge?" Then the randy duo got even louder, making Ethan go to the window.

Spike tried to break up Jessica's intervention, but her father, brother and friends stood strong against him. When he threatened that if she testified against him, he'd testify against her about the John murders, Jessica's resolve folded. Sam tried to hold onto her, but he couldn't. She went back into Spike's arms and reverted to making excuses about her bruises. Paloma got in his face, exposing her cutting to Spike. "This is the real proof of how she feels." Sam calmed the group down and begged Jess to return to therapy. "Any problems that my girl here has, the Spikeman's gonna take care of them," Spike cooed, but he went too far when he referenced sleeping with Jess. Noah threw a punch and a fight ensued.

Kay returned home to find Maria and Endora up late, because Endora couldn't sleep and "somehow" found the stash of chocolate. Fox was hurt when Kay asked Miguel to help put their daughter down while she filled him in on Jess' intervention. "I though he might have an idea or two," she explained. The two were soon back and after Tabitha accused Kay of sending mixed messages, Kay led her fiancé off to bed. Unfortunately, Fox tempted fate — or Endora! — by taking his sister's never-ending bag of chocolate. Tabby tried to plead his case before turning her attention to Miguel. He felt he had no chance with Fox around, so Tabitha suggested Endora focus her anger toward Fox and help Miguel. Endora was convinced and zapped Miguel, who disappeared in a puff of pink smoke. That same smoke enveloped Fox and Kay, sending Fox to sleep and Kay away. Kay and Miguel found themselves in a ballroom wearing formal attire, with masks and white gloves. "I don't want to waste this opportunity," Miguel insisted, and they danced. Assuming it was a dream, Kay let him kiss her. "What if this is real?" she asked and he hoped it was as he kissed her again.

Fancy used her defensive training to flip her attacker and started kicking, but stopped when she saw it was Chris, who lied that he'd thought she was the intruder. While they "secured the perimeter" of the cottage, Sheridan and Luis were inside talking about the porno, which was playing on the TV. He swore it wasn't real, but she "didn't want to hear it." It clearly upset her, which Luis insisted meant she wanted to be with him. (Duh.) They had their typical interchange until she broke down and he pulled her into his arms. "This is where you belong," he said. Outside, Chris and Fancy were worried about what they might walk in on. Chris wondered if Sheridan had only chosen him because of James, but Fancy said that James was part of the dream she'd achieved WITH Chris and that they had to take Sheridan's word. They walked in just in time to see Sheridan and Luis moving in for a kiss!

While Gwen and Ethan gave Theresa and Jared trouble for their loud lovemaking, Jared spied Rebecca dealing with a drunk JT but said nothing about it. Gwen pushed her mom and the reporter back into their room and Jared and Theresa promised to try to keep it down. "If we can," needled Jared. "Sometimes you get carried away." Gwen and Ethan returned to their room and ordered in, leaving Jared to repair the spoiled mood with Theresa. Unfortunately, JT and Rebecca's loud canoodling caused more tension, with each couple assuming it was the other making so much noise. Gwen let Ethan storm off to confront Theresa and Jared and kick the randy pair out before following. Theresa started on Ethan before he could say anything. "This is not a competition," she cried, but then all parties denied making the noise. Both Theresa and Ethan seemed glad to hear the other wasn't having sex. When the noises continued, Theresa went to investigate Ethan's room. A nervous Gwen tried to stop them, making both Theresa and Ethan suspicious...but the closet was empty. Gwen made them even more suspicious, so Theresa looked out on the ledge — where Rebecca and JT were going for round two!
