The Coast Guard was not confident that they could find Miguel, let alone save him. After Fox insisted the he be let on board to help with the search, he fretted over giving Kay the bad news. He refused to end the search until they found him, “dead or alive.” As they searched, Miguel floated face up and lifelessly in the ocean. Then a woman reached out from the water and pulled him down. When she kissed him, his eyes opened. Next thing Miguel knew, he was coughing on a sandbar with a beautiful blonde looking over him. He passed out again, and when the Coast Guard lights hit him, the blonde disappeared. When he came to this time, it was Fox soothing him.
At home, Kay was in a semi-panic, while Tabitha was hoping Miguel wouldn’t make it. Endora let us and Maria know that “he’ll be okay,” but Kay was worried about Maria losing her dad. Tabby insisted she was really worried about Miguel and still in love with him. Kay begged her to use her magic to save Miguel, but Tabitha said her powers were “running on empty.” Kay felt guilty for the accident; she was sure he’d been distracted at work by the fact that she’d never responded to his profession of love. Tabby suspected Fox was Kay’s safe choice, while Miguel could one day return to Charity, but Kay insisted he was more than a safety net. Everyone was relieved when Fox brought Miguel home. He mumbled about the blonde “angel” who saved his life.
In Italia, Gianni checked out the dance floor before joining a moping Fancy at their table. Having “forgotten” his wallet, he offered to hold her money. Fancy rolled her eyes but let him keep the wad and, when he toasted her, downed her entire glass of champagne. Gianni guessed that Noah was getting her down, but she denied it.
Outside, Noah tried to convince flighty, flirty Esme to help him find Fancy before Gianni did her harm. She told him how harmless Gianni was, “as much of a local attraction as the Trevi Fountain, only he doesn’t accept change.” Then she took Noah into the club and onto the dance floor, but when she spotted Fancy, she tried to keep him away. He found her as she headed to the dance floor. Fancy stormed away, but returned when it looked like things were going to get physical between Noah and Gianni. Then Noah admitted he loved Fancy and laid one on her.
At the Crane manse, Theresa stared at a painting and imagined she and Ethan were the lovers in it. She bemoaned the fact that she had all the money and power anyone could want, but not the man she loved. Meanwhile, an exhausted Gwen returned from work, which made Ethan feel guilty. He revealed he was considering opening his own practice and promised things would improve. Then they got into their typical Theresa chat. Ethan wished Gwen wouldn’t think about Theresa, which is the same wish she had for him. Ethan reminded her that he loved her and then excitedly bragged that he’d cooked them a meal. He said that he’d “substituted a few ingredients that I didn’t have, but I think it looks great.” Looks can be deceiving! Even he had to admit his big dinner was disgusting, but he was called away before they could come up with a substitute.
Luis assumed that Sheridan would stay with him, now that she’d admitted her feelings, but he was dead wrong. He got some good kissing out of her, but she was committed to her family. When Luis referred to their family, she shot, “We don’t even have our son,” and stormed away, to be replaced by Theresa. When Luis told his sister Sheridan was still in love with him, she again offered her help, but he said “all I need to do” is find Marty to win her back. He was ready to leave that second, but Theresa held him back. He said he’d be more careful this time and planned to use Theresa’s access to do a bit of research first. Theresa didn’t know the passwords, but that just gave her another way to get at Ethan. She had her brother call him for help. They met up in the library and Luis explained what he wanted from Ethan, but when Theresa showed up, Ethan accused her of even using her “brother’s broken heart” to get him. Luckily, Luis was able to talk him into helping, anyway. Ethan got on the computer and found a strange file, but had trouble getting into the “sub-file.” He had Theresa right down 436, 116 and 5402 and then used Alistair’s number game to get in. Ethan found a number he thought was an expense account for Beth and traced the source to Rome! “I think we found Marty,” Luis cheered.
Upstairs, a confused Sheridan turned to Gwen, who said she should “honor the commitment” that she made to Chris — surprise, surprise. Sheridan asked if her advice was swayed by the problems Gwen has faced with Theresa. Gwen couldn’t deny the probability and Sheridan remained torn between her two families.
