Kay is sitting in the kitchen talking to Tabitha and Endora. Now, remember, Endora is the one who caused all of this when she conjured Siren up from the deep. Endora did that in order to get Miguel a girlfriend, so he wouldn't end up breaking up Fox and Kay. Obviously, her plan has seriously backfired. This is what happens when you let toddlers do magic. By the way, in the last couple of weeks I have suddenly remembered a plot point that had totally evaporated from my brain, which is that the whole reason Endora cares so much about Fox's happiness is that they're brother and sister. Granted, Fox doesn't know it, but Endora apparently does know that she and Fox are both Julian's spawn, and this is why she's always trying to look out for her big brother. That's kind of cute, although I suspect he wouldn't be too pleased with his baby sister's meddling if he ever figured out that she was to blame for him being impotent with mortal women for the rest of his life.
Kay is appalled that Fox slept with Siren. Tabby points out that Kay also cheated with Miguel, but Kay says that's not the same thing, because she wasn't in her right mind. You know, a VERY high percentage of the sex acts on soap operas are performed by people who are somehow non compos mentis, as a result of either potions, spells, amnesia, intentional drugging, accidental drugging, disguises, brainwashing, hypnosis, mind control, identity confusion, or smoke inhalation. And those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head. Now, people tend to be quite fair and forgiving with their partners when they cheat due to any of these highly understandable reasons, but the pesky thing is that being mentally absent during sex does not protect you from getting pregnant. In fact, it's quite the opposite - probably 90 percent of these involuntary sex acts lead to pregnancies. Another reason to be glad you don't live in Harmony.
God, I HATE it when I get amnesia and accidentally sleep with my babydaddy, and then in the meantime, my boyfriend gets seduced by a mermaid. That is so freaking ANNOYING.
Kay continues to rant about Fox sleeping with Siren. She is a little slow on the uptake - she just can't figure out why Fox would do such a thing. Finally Tabitha is like, listen, you moron, Siren is a mermaid, remember? She used her Siren Song, duh. Kay is delighted to hear it; she knew Fox would never cheat on her intentionally. She still hasn't figured out that this means that her little relationship problem is a lot worse than she thought. This is pretty weak, because Kay spent weeks trying to cock-block Miguel and Siren, because she didn't want Miguel to fall under the Mermaid's Curse. But now she's completely forgotten about the Curse when it comes to Fox. Well, I guess maybe the effects of her amnesia are still wearing off. (Jeez, I can't believe I'm trying to impose some sort of logical framework on this.)
Kay says that she's going to kill Siren for tricking Fox, and just then, Siren walks in. Kay slams her against the wall and starts strangling her. Endora looks delighted and yells out something that I can't understand, so it's probably just something that the actress was babbling incoherently. She is adorable, but I have to wonder how much longer she can keep this role. First of all, she yells stuff out at random. Second, she is always in the room when Tabitha and Kay are having endless conversations about people having sex with people, and I have to wonder how much longer before the actress starts absorbing this. It's jarring enough that the character of Endora participates (via thought bubbles) in all of these racy conversations. It's actually one of the things that I find most amusing about the show. But it wouldn't quite play if the actress were, say, six, instead of three or whatever she is now.

I'm lame and started recording all the episodes. This show is just so horrendously bad, I couldn't help not watch.
I need to mention how Kay, Tabitha, Endora, Fox, Miguel, Jessica, Spike, Sam and Ivy all live in one house together. Didn't Tabitha's house magically rebuild itself a few weeks ago after a fire burned it down, yet she still hasn't moved back? The budget strikes back.
I'm also always laughing at the gratuitous shots of the whole male cast always going around shirtless no matter where they are: restaurants, little kid's teeball games, jail.
And Ethan is dull dull dull. He used to be somewhat interesting, now he's just a jealous tool.

Thanks for reading, y'all. I just want to respond to the comment above about everybody all living in one house. They *did* all live in one house for a day or two, and I thought the same thing as you - that the show had eliminated the second house to save on the budget. But then Endora conjured some cartoon worker bees to rebuild Tabby's house after the fire, and now they live in two separate houses (next door) again.
As for the tsunami - I don't remember it all that well, but I will try to post something about it in my next recap!

tikilights- I also get a kick out of the guys running around without their shirts. You should check out www.myspace.com/nbcdaytime for some nice pics of the guys. Unfortunately they're wearing shirts.
Amanda- I have a suggestion. Why not do a guys not wearing a shirt count with each weeks post? I think that would be pretty funny.

It was a tsunami and an earthquake! It was accidently caused by Endora. No one important died, and nothing really changed any of the story lines, Simone returned as a lesbian, Chris appeared to find his kid, and Sheridan had a job running the Harmony Bed & Breakfast. It was classic Passions overall though.
In one funny scene, that old battleaxe Katherine was drowning, and she jumped onto a coffin that was floating by, which happened to be the coffin of her presumed dead sister. The coffin opened up in Pilar's living room, with a skeleton wearing a necklace! Later, we discovered she (Rachel) was not dead.

The tsunami plot really was classic Passions. I mean it doesn't beat Ivy and Sam's house getting sucked into hell but it was pretty great.
My personal favorite scene of the Tsunami was when (and correct me if I'm wrong) Edna, Beth's crazy mom, "surfed" her way to safety on some sign that she saw floating by... At that point Edna had a young body that she'd made Tabitha give her when she found out that Tabby and Endora were witches. Seriously, the sight of the woman who normally wears adult diapers and talks about it surfing her way to safety during a Tsunami was priceless... makes every crappy episode last week totally worth it.
