Tee-Ball Is The First Stage of Grief - 
by Amanda
Gah - two weeks of Passions in one recap again. Unfortunately, everybody has now come back from Rome, and so the action has slowed way down. Don't worry, though - it's still extra dumb! We still have mermaids, amnesia, and lesbians, even if none of them is as active as we might wish. We've also added a stroke victim, a tee-ball extravaganza, and a bunch of intrepid blind people. I only wish we had an evil monk or a world-destroying chalice, but we'll have to wait for the next sweeps period for anything else like that.
We open Friday's show at Harmony Hospital, which we know from the tasteful exterior shot. The patient du jour is T.C., who, you may remember, had a self-inflicted drunk-driving wreck a couple of weeks back. Since then, Eve has been dutifully by his bedside, putting a real strain on her relationship with Julian. Still, Julian decided to be a nice guy and fly Whitney and Simone back from Rome to be with their dad. T.C. ended up having a stroke after the accident and now he talks all impaired-like.
This shot ate up 80 percent of the show's budget for the month.
Now Eve, Simone, and Julian are at the hospital to take T.C. home. Incidentally, a few days ago, T.C. apologized to Simone for being so mean about her being a lesbian and all. Eve also took new steps toward tolerance by being nice to Simone's girlfriend Rae when they all ran into each other at the Blue Note. (I thought Simone was single and looking for a new woman in Rome, but whatever.)
Eve, Simone, and Julian all mutter to each other about how they have to make sure that T.C. doesn't know that the Cranes are going to be helping with his recovery, because he hates them pesky Cranes. They also talk about how T.C. is going to need a ton of help back at home. Julian reminds Eve that tonight is the Habitat for Humanity charity ball (nice shout-out - is this an official tie-in?), and Eve of course says she can't go because she has to take care of T.C. I would guess this will be starting a big ol' trend in Eve and Julian's social life.
Cut to Kay and Fox, who are at Little Ethan's tee-ball game. Now, a lot has happened with Kay's storyline over the past couple of weeks. To be specific, Kay and Miguel totally did it!! Remember, Kay has this stupid pseudo-amnesia that makes her think that she's engaged to Miguel, not Fox. Everybody has been trying not to disrupt her delicate brain waves by telling her the truth - she's supposed to remember it on her own. So she spent days and days trying to get into Miguel's pants, with him trying kinda-sorta hard to keep her out of there. Fox was very upset by this. Siren was upset for about two seconds, but then she decided she wants Fox now instead of Miguel.
Wait a minute. Why the hell am I at a tee-ball game?
So, Kay and Miguel went away for a romantic weekend. Miguel promised Fox that he wouldn't screw Kay on this trip, but he didn't bargain for Kay slipping him some sort of love potion - she didn't really mean any harm; she was just trying to juice up what she believed to be her "tired" fiancé. So Kay and Miguel had sex on the beach. There was some wackiness when Fox and Siren both went after them, and Siren washed up on the beach nearby with her full-on mermaid tail. Some blind people (yeah, that's right) stumbled on Siren, felt her tail, and thought she was a big fish. Then they went and found a post-coital Kay and Miguel to ask them for help getting the fish back into the water. Kay and Miguel were relieved when they realized that the only people who "saw" them naked on the beach were blind people.
