PASSIONS Recaps Week of January 1, 2007

Friday, January 5, 2007
Kay scolded Miguel for barging in on her wedding. Julian threatened to have Migs removed, but he said he wasn't going anywhere until he exposes Fox. Miguel informed the bride that Fox locked him in the pantry. Fox admitted to the cruel act. He claimed Miguel was acting crazy and the only thing Fox had time to do was lock him in the pantry so he didn't ruin their wedding. "He doesn't have a terminal illness," said Miguel. He explained that he broke into Eve's office and looked at Fox's medical file. Fox tried to convince Kay that Miguel was the one lying. Eve watched from feet away, but kept her mouth shut. Sam got involved in the conversation. Fox told the Chief to arrest Miguel. Miguel said he can prove that Crane is a liar by showing them Fox's file. If he's wrong, he'll lay off and let them get married.

Fancy tried to fight off her attacker while she screamed for help. During the wedding interruption, Sheridan headed upstairs to check on Fancy after seeing Luis head up. The exes chatted about Fancy's situation and Sheridan mentioned their wedding in Mexico. Sheridan ran into Eve and admitted she wants Luis. Luis walked in on Fancy screaming. When she told him her attacker had just been there and her phone was dead, he picked it up and heard a dial tone. He thought she had imagined the masked man. He called Crane security to look for the suspect. Sheridan walked in and turned the lights on. Fancy claimed she wasn't able to turn the lights on earlier. Luis got a call that they haven't found the criminal yet, but he assured Fancy he could be caught. Fancy was frantic, but Sheridan and Luis doubted her. She tried to prove her attacker had been there. She looked for the button from his shirt that came off, but couldn't find it.

Spike walked into the mansion and was greeted by his wife. She filled him in on Miguel crashing the nups. Spike pressured Jess to have a cocktail.

On bended knee, Jared waited for Theresa's answer. Ethan begged Theresa not to marry Casey, and claimed he can prove Jared is a killer. Winthrop explained that the private investigator he hired found out J.T. was blackmailing Jared. Casey pointed out that of course Cornell would have his name on a piece of paper because Ethan hired the reporter to check his background. Theresa asked Ethan what was going on with Gwen. Jared was livid that Ethan had gotten to Theresa. He told her to keep the ring, but he took back the proposal. He said he was leaving Harmony and stormed out. Whitney asked Chad if he could ever forgive her for thinking he was cheating on her. He said they never have to talk about it again, claimed she's the only one he loves and the newlyweds began to make love. Whitney left the room to check on Miles and Chad checked his cell phone. He was disappointed that he didn't have a message from his lover. Jared arrived and told the happy couple that he's leaving Harmony. Whit was surprised to hear that Theresa didn't accept his proposal. Ethan comforted a crying Theresa. He told her he loves her and they kissed. Theresa stopped him and said she wants everything with him; not just sex. She yelled at him for taking away her chance of having that with Jared. Whitney, Chad and Jared barged in. Jared said he came back for the woman he loves.

When Spike returned to Jessica, where did he claim he had been?

Gwen wailed to her mother that she lost Ethan. Rebecca urged Gwen to fight for her man or else Theresa will "have everything." Dem were fighting words to Gwen so she tracked down Ethan and apologized for their argument. Ethan was too distracted by searching for Theresa to hear. He then got another lead on Jared and charged away.

Theresa pondered Jared's marriage proposal, but couldn't help but think of the strife between Ethan and Gwen. Whitney complained to Theresa about Chad's affair with another woman. He and Jared showed up, however Whit didn't want to see her hubby. Chad swore he didn't cheat on his wife and then brought in someone named Jerry to administer a lie-detector test. "You've all seen how this works on TV," explained Jerry. "If the needle jumps up, you're lying." When Chad passed the test with flying colors, the couple happily made up and left the room. Just as Jared got down on bended knee and popped the question once again, Ethan walked in.

Via cell phone, Grace wished Kay luck with her wedding and then cryptically informed a worried Sam that she would be home soon to "tell you everything." Grace and her fellow passengers were then informed that a shuttle was taking them to another airport. Sam and Grace exchanged I love you's. After hanging up, Grace made another phone call and declared to the other party that she was going to tell people the truth when she got back to Harmony. A man dressed as a priest and carrying a satchel containing a bomb was sitting nearby her. "Sorry, pretty lady," he said to himself. After the satchel and Grace were loaded onto the shuttle, the priest detonated the bomb via remote.

Trapped in the pantry of the Crane mansion by Fox, Miguel vowed to stop the wedding. "Yeah, I don't think so," taunted Fox. As Miguel's cries for help fell on deaf ears, Fox reported to the scene of his wedding and feigned surprise that his best man was missing in action. Fox asked his father to fill in. "It would be my pleasure," Julian deviously smiled. When Ivy threatened to thwart the nups, Julian warned that he would throw her out "onto the street" if she caused a disruption. The ceremony began and once Kay joined Fox at the altar, she asked where Miguel was. "The guy was a no-show," Fox whispered. "I guess he couldn't stand seeing me marry you." As the vows began, Sam told Luis that he had "the strangest feeling."

As someone lurked in her bedroom closet, Fancy became unnerved when the lights went out. Just as she discovered that the phone line was dead, a masked person grabbed her from behind. Meanwhile, Ivy found Miguel and set him free. He barged into the wedding. "Stop the wedding!" Migs announced. "You can't marry him Kay! He lied to you!"

Theresa asked Ethan what was going on with his marriage to Gwen. He explained that his wife was mad that he continued to look after — and dream about — Theresa. When he mentioned again that Jared probably killed Cornell, Theresa told him to give Gwen her ring back. He was adamant about finding out what J.T. had on Jared. Theresa told him to also look into what the tabloid reporter had on Gwen. She told him to leave the estate. They caught a glimpse of their initials carved into the balcony. Theresa cried to Ethan, pointing out that he broke promises to her. He finally noticed the rock on her finger and told Theresa not to marry Jared. Just as he was about to kiss Theresa, Gwen stopped him. Theresa ran off, followed by Ethan.

Eve promised Fox she won't tell anyone about the contents of his medical file. Julian interrupted and took Eve to a private room. She wasn't surprised that Jules was in on Fox's lie. Julian forced a kiss on Eve, who slapped him. The doc pointed out that Fox will have to pay for his lies like she did. Eve walked out, then Ivy barged in. "You cannot allow our son to ruin his life by marrying Kay Bennett," she said. Julian warned her not to stop the wedding.

Luis told the guard outside of Fancy's door to make sure she was safe. They headed to the kitchen and discussed the protocol for the wedding. Miguel ran in and asked if they had seen Kay, then dashed off to find her. Fox ran into the armed guard and slyly got possession of his gun.

While Fancy tried to fall asleep, a person dressed in all black lurked in her closet. She heard a noise and checked the hallway and outside her window. She then grabbed a letter opener and quietly approached her closet. She opened the door, but didn't see anyone. Thinking she was overreacting, she took a drink of wine and went back to bed. She shut her eyes and a shadow loomed over her. Just then, she took a swing with the letter opener and blood spattered. Wait! It wasn't blood; it was red rose petals. Luis stood there with a bouquet of roses. Fancy admitted she thought she heard someone in her room.

Grace, still at the airport sitting next to the creepy priest, called Sam again to give him an update on her delayed flight. Kay, Simone and Jessica gathered at the mansion to get dressed. Jess promised to stay sober and not cause trouble, and noted that her hubby Spike was already there. Kay and Simone had a chat about the bride's feelings for Miguel. Sam arrived and made amends with Kay and told her he was going to walk her down the aisle. He also informed his daughters that Grace wouldn't be there in time for the ceremony. A crying Grace called to tell Kay she was sorry she couldn't make it. "I'll be with you soon," she said to her daughter. Simone deterred Miguel from seeing Kay. Fox found Miguel in the kitchen and pointed the gun at him and tried to convince Migs he's serious about keeping him quiet. He forced Miguel into the pantry; Crane locked him in.

A day filled with dreams and nightmares. Hope you're laying down for this.

Kay prepared for her nups. Fox wanted to chat with her to make sure they were getting married, but in order for them to not actually see each other before their ceremony, they chatted through the door. Just when Fox walked away, Miguel arrived and kissed the bride-to-be. The two made love — until Kay's alarm woke her from the sex dream she was having. She was mad at herself for dreaming about Miguel. Kay had to talk herself into getting dressed for her wedding. She gathered her things and headed out.

Miguel arrived at Tabitha's in hopes of finding Kay to tell her Fox is lying about dying. He asked Tabs if she knows where Fox took the bride. Endora (donning a veil and white dress) used her powers to prevent her mom from speaking. Finally, Tabby told Miguel she doesn't know where Kay could be. Miguel decided to head to the Crane mansion. "I'm going to stop that wedding if it's the last thing I do," he said. Endora froze Migs in his tracks. Tabitha pleaded with her daughter to take the spell off of Miguel, but the witchlet refused. Tabitha took the little one to her room for a nap. Once back in the kitchen, Tabitha worked her magic to set Miguel free. Off he went to find Kay.

In the chair-and flower-filled Crane living room, Eve greeted Fox and said they need to talk about his terminal illness. He claimed to not know what the doc is referring to. She caught Miguel in her office going through Fox's files which say he's in good health, she explained. Fox jumped on Eve, who defended herself and said that Miguel told her he and Kay overheard him say he was terminally ill. Fox assured Eve that it is Miguel who is lying, not him. Dr. Russell encouraged Crane to be honest and tell Kay the truth instead of starting a marriage with lies. Fox threatened to "ruin" Eve if he exposes him.

Fancy woke up from her nightmare and was happy to realize she was home, where she thought she was safe. She recalled her conversation with Sheridan, and vowed not to allow her aunt to come between her and Luis. Fancy fell back asleep and had another nightmare. She got out of bed and recalled being raped. Through her mirror, she saw a masked person and screamed. Luis ran in and comforted her. The man in black wasn't there, it was another bad dream. Fancy told Luis to go to the wedding. Once alone, Fancy went back to sleep. She dreamed she walked in on Luis and Sheridan in bed together. Fancy woke up again and took a pill to help her sleep. Her closet door moved.

In the Crane kitchen, Jared once again proposed to Theresa. She said yes! An eavesdropping Ethan stormed in and hit Jared. The men fought while Theresa screamed for them to stop. Ethan locked Jared in a closet and told Theresa he loves her. "You like dangerous guys. That's okay because I can be dangerous, too," Ethan told Theresa just before they made out on the table feet away from Jared, who was yelling to be freed from the pantry. Gwen sat up in bed and heard Ethan dreaming about Theresa. So, that whole scenario wasn't reality either; it was Ethan's dream. Gwen woke her hubby up and yelled at him for dreaming about the other woman. "You lie every single time you tell me you love me," she went off. "You are completely playing me for a fool." He apologized to his wife and claimed he was dreaming about Theresa just because he's worried about her. Gwen said his idea that Jared killed Cornell was far-fetched because half the town was being blackmailed by J.T. Ethan asked if she was one of them. Completely offended, Gwen threw her wedding ring at her husband. Let's try this again. In the Crane kitchen, Jared asked Theresa to marry him. She said she can't give him her answer yet because she's had bad experiences with marriage. Casey asked if her hesitation was really because she thinks J.T. had something on him. No, she assured him. Theresa then pointed out that her parents aren't together, and Whitney and Chad's marriage is over before it began. Jared told Theresa he expects an answer the next time he sees her, then exited. In walked Ethan. When he answered his phone, Gwen's ring fell to the floor. Theresa picked it up and asked Ethan if his marriage to Gwen was over.

Back at the airport, Grace chatted with the mysterious priest she met.... Sam and Grace woke up in bed together and were thrilled to be reunited. They were excited about their daughter's wedding. The duo began to kiss again. Then, Sam snapped out of his dream and panicked to see it was really Ivy in his bed. He demanded the blonde get out of his house. Sam answered the phone; it was Grace informing him she won't make it to Harmony in time for the wedding ceremony. Grace asked Sam if he's forgiven their daughter for keeping Ivy's scheme a secret for so long. She encouraged him to put it in the past and walk her down the aisle; he agreed. The priest mumbled to himself that Grace won't make it home. There was a red blinking light attached to a possible bomb inside his bag.
