Fancy and Theresa gripe about men. In case you wondered, yes, they are drinking. And in case you wondered, yes, they are pouring their drinks out of the crystal decanter in their suite. They speculate some more about the identity of the evil mastermind, and Fancy says that for once, no one can blame her grandfather.
Bottoms up!
Beth wants to know if she can have her own all-powerful chalice, but Alistair says no. Yeah, my dad would never let me have one of those either. He tells her she’s safe as long as she does what he says. Then he totally tricks her with a “Hey, look over there!” so he can disappear behind a secret door.
The secret door leads Alistair back to Whitney and the headset. He is hooded again, of course. Whenever he’s hiding his identity like this, I’m going to keep calling him EvilMonk. Whitney talks EvilMonk through what she’s finding inside the goggles. She finds a large gold key.
Kay detects the smell of fish on Siren’s breath and suggests a connection to the missing bait. Kay and Siren get into an argument. Kay raises her hand to Siren, and Siren falls into the water. Everyone comes over to the edge of the dock, looks down, and sees Siren treading water. She tries to get them all to go away and let her climb out of the water on her own, but instead, they throw down a big fishing net and haul her up.
Kay yells out, “Holy mackerel!” (Get it? Again?) You see, when Siren fell into the water, her legs turned back into a tail, and now they all know she’s a mermaid. And guess what – the tail looks super-fake. You can see the outline of her legs inside it, and you can see sequins sewn onto fabric. Yeesh.
Whitney uses the gold key to unlock some kind of weird keyhole. A compartment slides open and the chalice emerges.
One chalice to rule them all.
She tells EvilMonk she can see it, and he mutters to himself about all the power that is about to be his.
It’s mine! All mine! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
That’s all, folks. The previews tell us almost nothing: Siren is still a mermaid. Alistair still wants the chalice. Unfortunately, May sweeps are now over, so we might be going back to the Passions where nothing ever happens. See you next week!

Wow, I haven't watched any soap opera in years but it's amazing how much they don't change. Most of this stuff could be taken from any soap and you wouldn't know the difference. Except for the cheesy but "attractive" actors.
You know, the first thing I always do when my head gets slammed into a wall and bleeds is crawl into bed with a shirtless guy. Wouldn't want to see a doctor or go to a hospital.
The large pillar trick and the virtual reality scenes- talk about big budget production. I hope they had enough left over to pay the actors (and I use that term loosely).
Good recap, Amanda. I'm grateful you're watching this craptastic show rather than me!

I haven't watched this show since the whole Tabitha/Timmy debacle, and I have to say, it's good to see that nothing has changed. I don't know if I could actually bring myself to watch an entire episode of this crap, but I loved the recap. I might have to make this part of my weekly TvGasm routine.

Remember when soaps used to actually be an industry? And they had BUDGETS? *sigh*
Love the recaps!

All the fans knew Alistair was the evil monk. What a complete let down. It could of been so many other interesting characters and stories. I'm a huge fan, but this show blows now!
I'm very surprised this show got renewed another year.
I only watch this show for Beth, and making fun of the monkey faced 'actress' that plays Theresa.
