Chris talks to himself. He says he rues the day that Alistair first darkened his door - since then, Chris's and Sheridan's lives have both been torture. Chris wishes Alistair would burn in hell, but in the meantime, he's going to have to settle for burning all of the documents linking him to Alistair. He starts putting the documents in the fire, but he doesn't notice that one of them falls under a piece of furniture and doesn't get burned. Of course, all of the documents have the Omega Symbol prominently displayed in the corner. Because if you have an evil, secret, illegal organization, you should always make sure that your logo is on absolutely everything.
Branding is very important to the success of any enterprise.
Alistair tells Beth that it's all her fault they've been found, and that Luis only wants Marty and Sheridan, not her. She pouts. Hey, why can't Alistair just set off another smoke bomb and disappear? He's already done that at least twice before. Some sort of alarm goes off, which tells Alistair that the train is being targeted by missiles. We see a very cheap-looking shot of a small plane in the sky and then a "Target Acquired" light on an instrument panel. Cut to the helicopter, where Luis confirms that the plane and its missiles were not planned or requested by him or by Interpol.
Da plane! Da plane!
Alistair points out, quite correctly, that Luis would never order a missile attack on the train, because it might kill Marty. So who's behind it? Everybody is nervous.
Whitney prays, alone in the chapel. She thanks God for letting her and Chad get back together. God is like, "Yeah, you guys are still gross." Chad is still out in the hall conniving on his phone. "My having a wife isn't going to stop us from getting together," he says. Unfortunately, I'm sure this whole thing is a red herring. Here's my prediction: Chad is a secret agent of some kind, and right now, he's on the phone with his boss, letting him know that he's getting married, but it's not going to impact his ability to do his secret-agent job. Sure, Chad is flirting heavily with the person on the other end of the phone call, but the show is relying on the fact that by the time the big reveal comes (possibly years from now), we will have forgotten about that. Notice that he doesn't actually say "I love you" or anything like that. Lame, but again, a bit of a surprise, so I endorse it.
Uh-oh. After the old nun leaves Theresa alone in the piazza, Theresa starts talking to herself. She says that she can't tell Ethan that Little Ethan is his son, and just then, Ethan walks up behind her. D'oh! Yeah, kind of a dumb idea to talk to yourself in public about your deep, dark secrets. You'd think this would have negative consequences a lot more often than it does.
Ha ha. Chris is still burning documents and talking to himself, and the camera pans down to show the un-burned document lying on the floor. This scene just repeats what already happened, but it is funny because the camera passes by some sort of decorative urn with the word "CHICKPEA" painted on it. The music is all dramatic and it makes it seem like "CHICKPEA" is some significant code word or something.
A doctor checks on Sheridan, who wakes up just as Alistair aims the brand right at Marty in her dream. She sits bolt upright and says that Marty is about to die. The doctor tries to calm her down.
The small plane closes in on the train and prepares to fire its missile. Luis yells, "Maaaaartyyyyy!!!!" (Is this an intentional homage to Michael on Lost constantly yelling "Waaaaaalt!!!!"?) In the cheesiest special-effect shot ever, the plane launches the missile. Alistair chuckles about the idea of dying this way, as Beth looks at Marty with concern. The train blows up. We end on Luis's anguished face, as he watches Marty die in an explosion for the second time in what, in Passions time, must only be a few days. Who here thinks that Luis will remember that the last time this happened, Marty was quickly revealed as not dead? Not me.
The launch.
Da train! Da train!
BOOM!
Oh, jeez, not again.

I just love to hate, and make fun of this show. It provides more entertainment and comedy than any sitcom, ever!
A lot of the actors on this show look like animals, for example:
Theresa - Monkey
Katherine - Goat
Noah - Horse
I find it hard to believe that Martin had actual sex with that old goat Katherine. She's at least 65 and Martin is supposed to be mid 40s. A few months back, goat woman showed up at Martin's naked. How scary would that be?
This show should be on Prime Time!

Eve was the one that insisted that Theresa was pregnant with Julian's child. Theresa told her that she'd had sex with Ethan and believed that Ethan was the father but Eve the DOCTOR told her that because she was on the pill it was Julian's. Both Theresa and Ethan questioned Eve about it but she insisted that the baby couldn't be Ethan's.
Dumb all round.

Hahahahahaha
the comment about the passions actors looking like animals totally reminded me that me and my sisters used to say the same thing! Sam is a dinosaur...maybe that doesn't really qualify as an animal but still, and if anyone used to watch the show and remembers charity...she totally looked like a mouse.
nice recap, the part about God saying, "yeah you guys are still gross" actually made me laugh out loud, great job

Yay - finally a recap! :)
Theresa has a daughter as well?? Wow, I've been away from this show longer than I thought. Who fathered the daughter? And why do Gwen and Ethan have her?
