The nun tells them all not to even bother looking for Alistair, even though Whitney says there’s a secret passageway. Chad sees where the shot Whitney fired hit the wall, and tells her, “You must have missed.” Simone says “DAMN it,” in this tone that suggests that she is really disgusted with Whitney for being such a poor shot, and possibly is even ashamed to be related to her. Hilariously, the nun criticizes Simone for cursing. This is after the nun just egged Whitney on to murder someone. I wonder if the nun knows Simone is a lesbian.
At long last, Whitney engages in a little much-needed introspection about her absolute brain-deadness in teaming up with this shady evil monk for months of her life. She tells Chad the whole deal about how Alistair convinced her that she had to save her and Chad’s souls by separating herself from Chad. Chad is really touched by the sacrifice she made for him, and they share an incestuous embrace.
Back in Theresa’s room, Ethan and Theresa have the same damn conversation, again, some more. I really had high hopes a couple of days ago when it looked like Ethan was near death from that blow to the head. Oh well. There’s a knock at the door and Theresa opens it with great gusto, expecting J.T. to be dragged in by Crane Security – but instead, it’s Gwen. Um, how fast did she get there? We just saw her in Harmony when Rebecca was on the phone with J.T., and in show time it’s been maybe a couple of hours since then…. Never mind.
Ethan and Gwen hug while Theresa stands there in shock. She harangues the Crane Security guy about bringing her Gwen instead of J.T. and then she kicks him out of the room. Ethan attempts to fill the plot hole by asking Gwen how she got there so fast, and she exposits, “My mother is still married to Julian, so one phone call and I was on the Crane jet.” Yes, but does the Crane jet travel at the speed of light? Also, I love how on soaps, if you are legally married to someone, you totally get to use their house and all of their stuff whenever you want, even if you have been bitterly separated for years.
For example: Theresa is the head of Crane Everything, even though she and Alistair openly hate each other and she has openly tried to kill him. Yet she is now the boss of all his companies and has so much authority that she can post a $50 zillion cash reward in a case that has nothing to do with Crane Industries. Hey, wait, couldn’t she probably also stop Gwen from using the Crane jet? Luckily, the characters exposit some more that she maybe could have, but she didn’t know about it.
There is some bickering amongst the three of them. I’m sure you can recreate it word for word without my assistance. Eventually, Gwen mentions “what Sheridan found out” – namely, that Alistair is missing, presumed alive, conscious, and evil. Ethan and Theresa are shocked.
Luis explains the whole deal to Fancy, about how the person whom they all thought was Alistair in a coma was “just some other poor patient who was in a coma, and Alistair had his face fitted with a latex mask to make it look like himself. Think about it! It’s perfect!” Yeah, sounds like a foolproof plan to me.
Gwen is simultaneously relating these same details to Ethan and Theresa: “So Sheridan thought something looked strange about Alistair’s face, and she went up to take a closer look. His face was a mask; she pulled it off. It was a mask that was fitted on another coma patient.” Ethan says that they all should have known. Yes, you REALLY SHOULD HAVE. He also says that it was a brilliant plan on Alistair’s part. Sorry, Ethan, you lost me there.
Gwen takes an opportunity to get in some digs at Theresa, reminding her that once Alistair resurfaces, he’s going to want Theresa back in his bed. Gross. Theresa agrees with me, commenting that she would rather be dead.
Luis and Fancy argue about Alistair’s degree of evilness. “No,” she whines, “my Grampy loves me!” Luis goes for the crystal decanter. Oh, wait, he’s actually drinking wine this time. Fancy thinks her Grampy wouldn’t have brought them all to Rome without trying to get in touch with her. Luis suddenly realizes that Alistair was the monk he saw spying on him a few days ago.

Lena's electrocution was funny, she looked like a burnt french fry.
Glad Maya is dead and gone, she was the worst daytime actress, ever. Sadly, I suspect that Maya may be hanging on the edge of the building someplace.
I still think Theresa (Lindsay Korman) is a pretty bad actress too, and she looks like a monkey.
