PASSIONS Recaps Week of July 30, 2007

Friday, August 3, 2007
At Tabitha's, she, Norma and Edna hung out with Endora, while Spike battled Fluffy in Tabby's basement. The ladies sipped Martimmys and watched him, amused. He warned them that there's a bomb in the house. Tabitha told him that Fluffy's giving him what he deserves for breaking into their home. Norma kept getting ideas for DirecTV, such as "When Pets Defend Their Home." (Nice plug, PASSIONS.) The bomb continued to tick away.

At the prison, after the interrupted wedding, the cops searched for the "weird-looking blackmailer." Ivy explained to Pretty that that's the person who everyone thinks will prove Luis's innocence. Luis proposed they all split up to find the blackmailer. Sheridan went with Fancy. Sher wondered why Vincent had arrived dressed as the blackmailer.... Theresa went searching for the blackmailer with Ethan. Luis then tackled the culprit — only it wasn't Vincent. It was Rebecca. She argued that it was a gift sent to her and that "unisex fashion" is all the rage. The warden came by and blasted the group for making such a scene, and reminded them that Luis is to be executed. Pretty was happy to see Fancy suffer. Sheridan was determined to save Luis.... Rebecca insisted to everyone that she's innocent. After, Gwen told Rebecca she intends to tell Ethan the truth about Little Ethan just as he and Theresa are about to get married. Rebecca was happy when she spied a former flame, who was now an inmate. He revealed that the word around the prison is that Luis's sister has a secret about Ethan. Gwen didn't want someone stealing her thunder.

Sheridan knocked out Theresa and dragged her body across the floor. She then placed Theresa in the electric chair. She believed that if she killed Theresa, she could save Luis. Theresa thought she was crazy and begged her to stop.

Eve spoke aloud about how the warden is supposed to meet her. Vincent overheard and berated his mother for planning to rat him out to the warden. Eve insisted that she wasn't intending to do that. Vince then taunted her about Luis getting executed and locked her in a closet. Julian went to look for a missing Eve.

Fancy panicked as Luis was returned to his cell. He shared a sad goodbye with his mom... An inmate told Ethan that he has information on Luis — and that he also knows something that will change Ethan's life. He said he'd tell Ethan what it is if Ethan represents him as his lawyer. Ethan refused, but then the inmate revealed that Ethan has a son.... Pretty mocked Fancy about losing Luis. Ivy implored her daughter to leave Fancy alone, but Pretty said she wasn't through with her revenge. Later, Fancy curled up in Luis's arms and broke down in sobs. Finally, Luis said farewell to Miguel. Pilar went into hysterics; Miguel led his mother out of the cell. Ivy hugged Fancy.... The warden later led a shackled Luis to be executed. Pretty planned to tell him the truth about Fancy before he died.

Who did Rebecca say sent her the blackmailer outfit?

Ivy arrived just in time to see Fancy finally walk down the aisle to an eager Luis. A weeping Eve told Whitney she always cries at weddings. Pilar prayed for Luis to get a stay of execution. Endora acted as flower girl. Sheridan was ready to halt the wedding since Pretty didn't get the job done. Vincent stopped Sheridan, who glared at the bride and groom through a door window. Father Lonigan asked the guests if they had just cause for either Luis and Fancy, or Paloma and Noah not to marry. A hiding Pretty looked on as Fancy said she can't marry Luis. The crowd gasped, and Pretty silently cheered. Luis forgave Fancy. Eve told Julian she still wants to turn in their son for his crimes in order to save Luis. Julian went over to talk to Tabs and Endora, and Eve saw Vincent lurking in the hallway. She thought he was there to confess, but that wasn't the case. Eve assured her son that she will go with him to the police station and explain that he wasn't to blame for his actions because he's sick. The warden announced that the execution was to go on as planned. Pretty returned to the dressing room, where Ivy rushed in to get a tissue. She was shocked to see her daughter, who gave her a cold shoulder and revealed her scar. Ivy suggested taking her to have surgery, but Pretty informed her she has already tried. Ivy realized Pretty prevented Fancy from marrying Luis. Vincent, now dressed in his half-man/half-woman gear, entered the room.

At the Book Café, Rebecca overheard Gwen talking on her cell and snatched the phone in hopes of finding out who her daughter's mystery man is. Gwennie told her mom she'll know his identity when the time is right. She also informed Bec that she's waiting until Theresa is completely happy and thinks her life is going great to drop the paternity bomb.

Spike met up with Fox, who threatened him to kill Miguel. Spike refused to go back into Tabitha's house, and claimed Endora is evil. Fox informed Spike that Endora, Tabitha, Kay and Miguel are at the prison wedding, so he can safely enter the house. Spike headed upstairs to Miguel's bedroom with dynamite, unaware that Fluffy wasn't far behind. He tied the bomb to the bottom of Miguel and Kay's bed, then heard the cat outside the room. He opened the door, expecting to find a little cat, but was attacked by giant Fluffy.

Esme ran into Fox, who informed her that Fancy is getting married, then Luis is set to be executed. "He'll be dead before the honeymoon," noted Esme. She teased Fox about faking his illness in order to get Kay to marry him. The twosome headed to a bar to chat. Esme vented about her stepmother telling her father to cut her off and insist she get a job. The socialite suggested their both drown their sorrows in liquor.

As Paloma made her way to the altar, Pilar fretted about her children getting married in a prison and Luis's impending execution. A guilty Eve nearly told the shaken mom that she knows who the real murderer is, but Julian stopped her from exposing their son. Luis and guests waited for Fancy to walk down the aisle. They all thought her tardiness was just because Fancy was perfecting her appearance and waiting to make a grand entrance. Julian approached Tabitha and Endora by the food. Tabs sent her daughter away and chatted to Jules about his newfound son. She admitted she saw Vincent dressed in the man/woman outfit in her magic bowl when Julian asked her to look for his son. Tabs asked him what he's going to do now that he knows Vincent, not Luis, committed the murders. He asked the witch for advice. Tabby pointed out that Fancy will be devastated if Luis dies. So, which offspring of his will he protect?

A bored Norma and Edna wandered the halls and compared the prison to the insane asylum they were once in. Norma started to warble, which made a guard remember her from the asylum. He and another guard caught up with the wacky women, captured them in a white jackets and threw them in a cell. Endora used her magic to levitate and spin the guards, trap them in giant cotton candy and stuff their mouths with chocolate so they couldn't scream. A third guard found them, so the witchlet zapped him into the cell and filled it with a variety of candy. What a sweetie!

In her dressing room, Fancy was taken aback by Pretty's anger. "Take a good look at your handiwork," snapped Pretty, showing off her scar. An eavesdropping Sheridan and Vincent were thrilled by Pretty's vengeful attitude. Pretty recalled the summer when she and Fancy were vacationing and both like a boy named Harrison, who brushed Fancy aside for her sis. In a flashback, we saw a fuming Fancy pick a fight with Pretty and splash pool chemicals on her face, which caused it to burn and scar. "That is not how it happened," said Fancy. She explained her side of the story; Pretty was strangling her, so she grabbed whatever was nearby, not knowing it was chemicals, and poured it on Pretty to make her stop choking her. Pretty went on and on about how people are disgusted by her. "They recoil from me," she noted. Pretty once again threatened to tell Luis the story if Fancy doesn't stop the wedding. They argued back and forth; Fancy claiming she didn't mean to hurt her sister and that Luis doesn't deserve for her to stop their wedding, and Pretty pointing out that Fancy isn't the angel Luis believes she is. "Let him spend his last few hours on Earth happy, please," begged Fancy, adding, "Don't hurt him because you hate me." Pretty insisted Fancy couldn't possibly love Luis more than herself, and that she ruined Pretty's life. Theresa knocked on the door, looking for the bride. Pretty was eager to show Luis's sister her scar. Fancy stopped Pretty, and told Theresa through the door that she's fixing her makeup. Since Pretty didn't reveal herself to Theresa, Fancy wrongly thought Pretty changed her mind. Fancy excitedly grabbed her bouquet and thanked her sister for not ruining her wedding. Pretty, however, informed her that she still insists Fancy not marry Luis. The disfigured Crane told Fancy that several plastic surgeons said they couldn't fix her scar. "I'm so, so sorry," cried Fancy, while begging her to allow her to marry Luis.

Theresa returned to the altar and told Luis that Fancy will be there in a minute. Luis decided to walk his bride down the aisle and went to get her. He knocked on her door and told her he needs to see her. Fancy prevented Luis from opening the door. "I don't care what you say about bad luck, I'm not tempting fate," she covered. He asked her to hurry, and they exchanged "I love yous." Sheridan, hiding around the corner, was disappointed that Pretty has yet to expose Fancy's evil side to Luis.

After making love to Julian, Eve got a call from the warden. She told her lover it’s her job to be at the prison to declare Luis dead after his execution. She decided to come clean and tell everyone she knows Luis didn't commit the crimes; it was Vincent. Jules tried to talk her out of it in order to protect their son. He pointed out that exposing Vincent will effect Miles's future once it's out that daddy Chad had a homosexual affair. "He needs psychological help," reasoned Julian of Vincent.

Father Lonigan told Theresa he can't marry her and Ethan until she tells her husband-to-be that he's Little Ethan's father. Ethan interrupted and asked Theresa if what he just heard is true. Before she could answer, Whitney walked up, quickly followed by Sam, Kay, Maria, Tabitha, Endora, Norma and Edna. When Sam realized Norma and Mrs. Wallace must have escaped from the insane asylum, Endora used her magic to make the chief forget who they really are. Voilà! The sheriff welcomed the wacky women. Once Theresa, Ethan and Whitney were alone with the priest, Lonigan encouraged the bride-to-be to share her secret with Ethan. Theresa covered by saying that even though Gwen gave him a divorce, their marriage needs to be annulled by the church. Lonigan said that was true, then had Ethan escort him to Luis's cell. Tabby and gang shuffled in, and again, Endora had to cast a spell so that everyone would forget they are the crazy women who were once in an asylum. In unison, they all welcomed Norma and Enda in a trance-like tone.

In the hallway, Sheridan and Vincent watched via video as the guard prevented Pretty from entering the prison. Finally, she was allowed in. Fancy walked up and asked Sher and Vince what they've been up to. She grabbed the cell phone to see what they were looking at. "Oh, God," she uttered. Turns out, she was looking at candid shots Vincent took to capture Fancy and Luis's wedding day. She was appreciative of his efforts. Fancy then asked Sheridan to leave, but she refused.

In the cell, Kay told Fancy they need a nicer place to have their ceremony. Kay got the idea to use her magic so wedding dresses would appear. Norma and Edna clued into the fact that Kay is a witch. After Kay recited a spell, a guard delivered scandalous nighties for Fancy and Paloma. Not quite the wedding gowns Kay had in mind. Endora used her magic touch to make dresses appear, and for everyone to think a planner arranged a real wedding. Every time Kay tried to use her magic to improve the wedding, Endora had to cover her mistakes. The guard delivered tuxes for the grooms. Kay was thrilled to bring the brides to their magic dressing rooms to get ready.

Sheridan and Vincent ran into Eve and Julian. They filled in the new arrivals on the upcoming nups. Just then, Pretty approached Sher and Vince, who pointed her in the direction of Fancy. Just as Fancy slipped on her dress, she turned around and was shocked to see her sister! Fancy apologized to her sis for never getting in touch with her. Pretty brushed it off and acted excited for her sister. Sheridan and Vincent eavesdropped from outside the door and wondered why Pretty was being so nice to Fancy. Pretty snapped, "If you marry Luis, I will tell him everything!" Pretty showed Fancy the scar on her face, and said she can't handle when people call her "Pretty."

Pilar cried while helping her daughter get ready for her wedding.... The warden barged in, livid about the rec room being so decorated, but Endora caused him to change his tune.... Theresa cried when she saw Luis in his tux. Luis told her she better tell Ethan the truth soon.... Julian congratulated Endora on her good work with the magic wedding. Kay turned Norma and Edna into caged doves to teach them a lesson, then reverted the spell.... As the wedding began, Eve tried to comfort Pilar. Julian secretly reminded the doc not to expose Vincent. Paloma walked down the aisle.

A flight attendant informed a blonde on the plane that paparazzi were waiting at the airport for her arrival. Once in her limo, she watched a video message with Vincent telling her to attend a wedding.

At the prison, Luis's friends and family — and tabloid reporter Vincent — arrived for his execution. Sheridan threatened Vincent to make sure he doesn't let Luis die. Whitney and Chad showed up and yelled at Vincent. "You set us up," Chad said while clutching his ex-lover's throat. Sheridan was shocked to learn that Vincent is Eve and Julian's son. She took over Chad's chokehold on her nephew and strangled him herself. "Are you telling me the truth about who is coming to Harmony? Answer me!" she yelled at him.

In Luis's cell, Fancy and Luis announced that they are getting married before he is executed. When everyone started to cry, Luis cracked, "Can we just have some fun here?" The groom asked his bride to tell him about what happened between her and Pretty before they get married. Fancy snapped, thinking Sheridan put him up to it, but then realized they just need to concentrate on their happiness while they can still be together. Chad and Vincent's brawl shuffled to just outside of Luis's cell. Whitney announced to the crowd that Vincent is Julian and Eve's son. One by one, Fancy and Paloma realized his connection to Fancy and Chad. Whit begged Chad to stop trying to kill Vincent. "Think of our children," she yelled. Chad blamed Vincent for losing his family. Sheridan pulled Vincent into the hallway for privacy. Just then, he saw on his PDA's video that Pretty was arriving to the prison. Back at the cell, Whitney apologized to Luis for the chaos. Luis and Fancy told her they are getting married. Noah suggested he and Paloma get married alongside them. "If we're going to do it, I can't think of a better time," Noah said to his fiancée. She was thrilled. Ethan rushed a marriage license for the duo. A guard delivered a package to Theresa containing divorce papers from Jared. "I'm divorced," she informed Ethan. "How about a triple wedding?" Ethan beamed. Father Lonigan privately told Theresa that he can't marry her and Ethan. "You know why," he said. Theresa begged the priest to go through with it. Ethan and Whitney overheard their chat. Luis asked Fancy if she was sure she wanted to be married to a convicted murderer. She assured him being his wife is all she's wanted.

Norma and Edna raved about Endora's witchery. They ask her to give them a subscription to DIRECTV. The wacky women begged Tabs to let them stay as houseguests and not send them back to the basement of doom. The magic bowl moved itself close to Tabitha and she looked in, realizing Vincent is Eve and Julian's son — and behind all the madness around Harmony. Esmerelda appeared to tell Tabby that there are going to be several changes for the good side. Tabitha wasn't happy with the sweet witch popping up in her home. "Endora's powers are so strong, they're dangerous," pointed out Esmerelda. She told Tabs the little witch needs guidance. Tabitha said she can handle it herself and zapped Esmerelda away. The bowl informed Tabitha that Luis and Fancy were getting married. Endora begged her to go to the nups. Tabby didn't want her daughter to be in a prison, but gave in. Norma and Edna were thrilled to be going to the ceremony as well.

Julian and Eve argued because she wanted to tell Sam that their son committed the murders which Luis is being punished for. Eve suggested Julian just cared about Crane Industries, not Vincent. She felt that because Chad and Vincent are the "black Cranes," they aren't as good as the others, and he only dated her to infuriate his racist father. Julian said he'd give his money and power up for Eve. He opened up to her and they kissed.
