Jared incorrectly assumed that Mrs. Crane was Theresa’s “bitch for a boss” and the more he presumed and ragged on the “gold digger,” the more Theresa stammered. Just as Theresa was going to drop the bomb on him, Valerie came in and blew it to smithereens. Theresa tried to get Val to leave, but the confused assistant ultimately introduced Jared to Mrs. Crane. “You played me for a fool,” he stormed at Theresa as she struggled to explain that while she is a hardworking single mom, she never said money was tight. “I am a complete fool. But you, Mrs. Crane, are far worse than I ever, ever thought you could be,” he shot and after some more venting and disgust, not even Theresa’s infamous tears couldn’t stop him from storming out. Valerie assumed he was a disrespectful jerk, but poor Theresa was so upset she cancelled an appointment. Theresa had to admit Whitney was right again. “I finally met somebody nice, and I sabotage myself over again,” she said.
A nervous Fancy watched on as Sheridan and Luis chatted. Sheridan explained she was at the station to renew her driver’s license. Luis complimented on her mothering skills, and then talk turned to Fancy’s desire to be a cop. Luis started complaining, so Paloma and Fancy urged him to get down to business and start the class. When Sam warned that his recruits were waiting, Luis jokingly (and endearingly) deputized little Deputy Boothe to help him get rid of “Cagney and Lacey” (a.k.a. Fancy and Paloma). When Sheridan questioned Fancy about her new goal, Fancy sniffed, “Why does everyone think I’m some pampered princess who can’t do anything hard or physical?” She then admitted she was there to be near Luis and asked Sheridan how she felt about that, considering “how you looked at Luis, how your eyes lit up and you smiled your best smile.” Sheridan was pretty convincing when she confirmed her support of the pairing, so the insensitive Fancy asked her aunt to talk her up to Luis. She seemed pleased to do so after Luis returned, and got on it as soon as the girls went to get ready for training. “Wasn’t Fancy everything you needed as a partner in Rome?” she reminded Luis. He worried she wouldn’t stick with it, but as we all know, Fancy doesn’t give up. When he called Fancy a “spoiled little rich girl,” Sher noted that was unlikely. Noah fell for Fancy, just like Luis had fallen for Sheridan. She then even hoped to herself, “Give Fancy a chance, Luis, to be a cop and to be your love.” Luis finally gave in, grumbling that he wouldn’t give the girls special treatment. Then the he set out to teach his class. When he passed out holsters, he surprised Fancy by giving her one. She put the belt on and bragged, “You see, Luis, Paloma and I are natural-born cops.” Then she saluted and her holster slipped off her tiny hips. “Show me what I’m doing wrong,” she asked Luis. Score one — she got her target to put his arms around her. She was so unnerved by the closeness she almost didn’t have it in her to try to do it herself. “Nice, really nice,” he said with approval as he adjusted her work — and looked at her butt.
Chris was nervous when Spike returned to the Crane cottage, but he was beside himself when he learned why he was there. Spike was “planning a mother of a heist” at Casa Crane, with Chris’ help. Apparently Sheridan was dumb enough to keep the security codes to the estate on her PDA. Chris refused, so Spike countered by asking, “I wonder what Sheridan will think when she finds out that you were working for her old man, that he hired you to help her love again and marry her — wow.” Chris swore the con had turned into real love. “Think that will make a difference?” Spike asked. Chris started to get physical, but Spike pushed him off and recounted the story of when Alistair hired him to pretend to be James’ father, who was actually dead, and woo Sheridan. Obviously, Chris didn’t want the story told.
As the steam wafted around their naked bodies in the shower, Miguel denied Siren’s advances. He said he liked kissing her, but was in love with Kay. “Why’d you lead me on?” she demanded, before pretending to understand. Of course, singing Siren was not deterred. Too bad for her, Miguel couldn’t hear her siren’s song over the shower and when he turned off the water, she had a coughing fit and couldn’t sing, so her target escaped. Downstairs, Kay was begging Endora to zap Siren back to where she belongs, but the little darling would only agree to “play interference,” as Kay put it. When Kay pushed Tabitha to make Endora change her mind, Tabby sighed, “Kay, you of all people should know that daughters don’t always listen to their moms,” and later concluded, “If you have a witchy daughter who has more powers than you, you choose your battles carefully.” She and Endora excused themselves when Miguel came down from the shower. He told Kay, “being together was magical. Kay, we fit. It’s like we’re meant to be.” She recalled the days when she felt that way, but wasn’t too happy about the timing. When she vented to Tabitha, she blamed it on Charity, but then refocused and asked what to do. Tabby insisted she accept the fact that she loves Miguel. “This has all the makings of a country music hit,” she mused. “A woman in love with two men. Too bad polygamy is illegal in Harmony. You can’t have both of them. You have to choose one — Fox or Miguel.” Kay was completely unable to decide. When she asked, “Why now?” Tabitha reminded her that it was because she didn’t wait for Mercury to get out of retrograde before accepting Fox’ proposal. Kay insisted she would honor her engagement. Miguel, meanwhile, told Siren he hoped Kay chooses him, but all she heard was that she had more time to bed him. Later, Kay walked by to hear Miguel telling their daughter, “You know, Daddy was selfish and stupid and wrong to be away from you guys for as long as I was. I know now that you two are the loves of my life, not Charity.”
