Luis yells at Fancy for writing his report for him. She says she did it because she knew he was busy with his mother's injury. Luis points out that this is a document that has to be usable in court and therefore must be accurate, and, oh yeah, she's never written one before. Then for some completely retarded reason, Sam defends Fancy by saying that the report was well-written. Yes, but it had the WRONG NAME ON IT and was written by a person who didn't conduct the investigation she is describing. What do you think a defense attorney would do with that, Mr. Chief of Police? Even Lionel Hutz would have a field day with this one.
There is some sexually charged banter. Fancy leaves and Sam ribs Luis about the sparks that are a-flyin'. They start to discuss the case, and Luis confides his theory that Chris is not necessarily to be trusted. Sam doesn't think that Luis's "vibe" that Chris is a bad guy is sufficient evidence. He thinks it just might have something to do with the fact that Chris is married to Sheridan. Then Sam thanks Luis for his part in rescuing Jessica at the Lobster Shack the other day. Fancy overhears Luis complimenting her own performance, but then she also hears him say that he's not sure she's tough enough to make the sacrifices required to be a cop. He also says that he's not sure a cop can ever have a healthy relationship. Fancy talks out loud inside her head about how she's going to prove him wrong.
Theresa is on speakerphone trying to convince some guy to merge his company with Crane. Jared totally interrupts and seals the deal with some really lame statistics. Theresa is smitten. After the call ends, she gives Jared a little hug and kiss. Oh, this is so professional. Then they start flat making out and of course Ethan walks in. They don't see him and he leaves, looking all sad-puppy. Soon Jared leaves too, and Theresa proceeds to leave Whitney a voicemail about how awesome Jared is. Ethan once again overhears this and slinks away without telling Theresa he is there.
My job is nowhere near this much fun.
Behind the bookshelves, Chris tells Spike to leave him alone. He's really pissed that Spike shot Pilar. Spike issues some vague threats and tells Chris that their "partnership is just getting started." He goes on to order Chris to take the accounting job at Crane Industries so that he can embezzle millions for Spike. Chris freaks out when he finds out that Spike knows about "Chicago." This mysterious Chicago threat convinces Chris to cave in to all of Spike's demands. Meanwhile, Sheridan wanders around looking for Chris and can't find him despite the fact that he's standing behind some wide-open bookshelves in a one-room coffee shop.
We're invisible!
Fancy walks up to Luis while he's reading the ballistics report from his mother's shooting. Turns out that the bullet that hit Pilar matches one from a past shooting at a nightclub owned by Spike. It also matches the bullet that hit Chris in the leg. Luis's suspicions of both Spike and Chris are growing.
That's it for Friday's show. Other storylines that are going on: Julian has pretty much completed the process of turning evil again, because he's so bitter over the fact that Eve is spending all of her time with poor stroked-out T.C. Chad is still lying to Whitney about something unexplained. And over in Mermaidland, Fox is still under the Mermaid's Curse and can't have sex with anyone but Siren, and Siren is still hoping to score a twofer by getting her clutches into Miguel too. Kay and Tabitha are openly battling against Siren, and I guess Kay is about to try a new spell, which is pictured at the very top of this recap. (Yeah, I cheated by using that picture - but it was too good to resist.)
Previews: Ethan continues to look agonized over Theresa's infatuation with Jared. Fancy looks on as Luis attacks Spike in some sort of seedy garage. And, well, the last scene is the one I just mentioned with Kay working her new spell, and here's the rest of it:
Words can't do it justice.

The only good thing about the Salsa2: Lancy scene is that they used Pink Martini for the score. Smile.

welcome back. Your recaps and the theresa/ethan role reversal, has made me start watching the show again.
Did I just admit that?

I loved the scenes with Spike running away through the forest on the Crane estate. He makes the show. "Feet don't fail me now."

Thanks for the recap, Amanda!
-tikilights;
I loved that too! Especially when Spike ran into Sheridan and Chris in the Crane 'forest' after the shooting and he told them "Look over there!" and they glanced to what he was pointing to and he totally got away from them! God, that show is so nuts. It cracks me up.

I never know where to begin with my response. I will say that Fox has gotten hotter and is making me all squishy along with Miguel, Luis and sometimes Ethan.
Oh, and Theresa still looks like a big eyed slack jawed monkey.
I did enjoy the tango scenes, reminds me of the early days of Passions....Timmy, Charity, Grace...

what a hilarious recap. if I hadn't been involved in the production of the show, I'd have never believed such programming was possible! Hilarious, now I will be addicted to your recap of our show. No press is worse than bad press...
Yummy yummy yummy! I also like reading the comments from folks who watch our beloved show. We enjoy the plots immensely and can not believe you think they are campy or abusurd!

I caught an ep last week while home sick and remembered this comment:
Well, you can add "the county fair" to that list.

Great recap as usual. Screw the Emmys, this show is hands down the best comedy on television.
