HCP Inc Series finale.....for now.....

Sarah met Angelo on the bluffs of the north of Spain. Angelo explained that he had taken RJ499 to appear dead and was worried for her safety and called her as soon as he knew it was safe. The Mafia ties of his birth father were gone after Isabel's attack. Sarah was first pissed that he lied to her, but then she forgave him and the two helped her sister plan the wedding.

Elizabeth's being alive was a result of all the topsy turvy time changes. She accepted the job in Spain a full three years later than in the timeline in which she died, meaning she was around for Matt. Matt asked her to reunite with him. A four year old Josh was excited to have a new father figure in his life, although Elizabeth had been an excellent single mother.

Alex and Jamie had a blowout fight, then make up sex, and then made a promise never to lie to each other again.

Jessica, under Vicky's new management, met up with Rusty, and the two tracked down Kathryn and arrested her. Kathyrn vowed her escape. Later, Jessica met up with Rusty, and the two reunited as they tracked down someone who looked a lot like Mike and arrested him. The two kissed.

Tomás began his new day at work and was attracted to a co-worker.

-Victor became a talkshow host in the States as he made his marriage to Rafa work. -Amber and Shane welcomed Lucas to the church, as Shane continued to express doubts about the existence of God. Lucas encouraged him that wanting to believe was a good start. Lucas' novel was starting to sell, and Marcos joined him in Chicago. They took advantage of the new law for Illinois and got married, as Lucas started being known as that gay Christian singer. Marcos was happy to be a bodyguard for his new husband.

-Dawn bought the old mansion from Will's family in Bloomington Isle and returned with her kids to live. She called Cesc to say that she had arrived and looked forward to his arrival in a few days. She looked around her new home as the kids came home from school, none too happy about the sudden switch in schools but happy to be back in the States. "This is home," she said.

Back at the wedding, everone toasted to the future and what it may bring, whether it's good or bad, and looked at their family and friends. "To the future!"

Penultimate HCP Inc!

Beth explained to Dawn that she had been married to Lenny for 12 years, and Dawn began to enter a haze. She realised that she was married to Jared, who was living a healthy life on his HIV medication. Dawn was completely virus free despite their two kids. Billy, Anthony, Jasmine and Orlando were soon forgotten, as were Cesc and Will. Beth was a police officer.

Sarah went back to the past to try to stop Barb from helping Mike and Steve. She was back in high school, and she was astonished to see friends she hadn't seen or thought about in years. Jamie and Sherman were still planning the future as Jamie slaved away waiting tables, yearning to be a member of the real family instead of a distance cousin. Ashley condescened toward Sherman and Jamie. In Hawaii, Melanie met Michael and began to date him, despite the fact Michael was sleeping with her brother Victor on the side. Elton was starting university and decided that he could become a doctor, like his life long dream. Ashley dated Justin, who was more keen on Anita. Will started university at Oxford, as Matt went to sixth form at the most prestigious London school. Brianna dreamed of her future love as her parents sold their teenage daughter to a new online pornography company. Amber made a chastity vow. In Spain, María met Alex, and Angelo vowed to his parents to protect María as he started going to underground ETA meetings to stop María from getting too involved with Álex. Tomás had a secret crush on Álex. Isaac helped his younger brother, Marcos, with his first few days of secondary school, and Kathryn and Georgina faught with their step brothers Cesc and Aitor.

Jessica was shocked that Sarah was being so nice to Barb. Barb began to be more and more sociable. Sarah took care of her siblings Samantha, Sebastian, Serena and Stacy when her parents began to fight. She was also nicer to Amber than she had ever been. Amber met Shane and forgot about Corey. Sarah was then whisked to the future.

The future was bleak, as Barb rejoiced at being absolved of her sins. But Sarah learned that Mike and Steve had killed almost the entire high school. Dawn and Jared had escaped, and their parents' mob money helped them start a new life far away from Michigan. Rusty and Jessica also escaped, only to be murdered by Mike a year later. Mike had killed Jessica's entire family. Angelo had been killed in 2005 in an ETA blast instead of his adoptive father.

Mike had also killed Sarah. Aitor was now a vicious dictator of Spain, having lied about independence of Catalunya. Alex was in charge of a terrorist group that was constantly bombing Spain. Michael was a vicious governor of Hawaii, and Melanie had married Christian's brother, Colin. Brianna never had escaped her parents pornography ring and never met Michael, who had helped her escape it in 2001 in the real reality. Samantha didn't turn to drugs after Sarah's death/desertion of the family but instead took Sarah's role as protector. Sebastian worked as Sarah's pimp.

Before Sarah disappeared, now having died in this timeline, she met up with Savanna, Barb's sister, who used Wicca to turn her back in time again. Barb found Savanna just as Sarah went back to 1999 again.

Sarah realised that events were meant to happen for a reason, as she watched her life unfold again. She enjoyed the good times and never started drinking, the only change she had made. Events more or less unfolded in this timeline as they had before. Barb's visit to the police the morning of the shootings had stopped the event from being much, much worse. As the life unfolded in a beautiful 10 minute montage, with Sarah interacting with most of the characters past and present to get to the future, she feared the day she would run into Barb again.

In 2013, Sarah explained to Barb that things were much worse and Barb had done much worse. Sarah then ran for it, and Barb disappeared.

Cesc and Will broke in to stop Sam from raping and killing Dawn instead of Beth, and Sam went to jail.

Jessica and Vicky looked for Barb, and the only thing they found was the rights to take control of the crime fighting organization and lead it the way it should be lead. Jessica called Rusty. Sergio and Serena prepared for the upcoming wedding. Serena accepted the internship in Valencia. Marcos and Lucas officially reunited, as did Elton and Rachel. Guillermo and Aitana continued to get to know each other. Jamie and her alters were officially integrated thanks to Aitana's help. Ashley vowed revenge on her family once again as she manipulated her way to control the company. Will and Holly finally consummated their attraction. Lenny and Melanie continued to deal with family problems, as Rafa and Victor helped each other stay clean and off drugs.

On a lonely beach, Matt reflected on his past when he saw someone from the past. Elizabeth.

Sarah dealt with her loneliness and began to move on from Angelo. Her friendship with Tomás grew. One late night, Sarah's mobile began to ring. "Sarah, mi amor. I think it's safe for me to call now. It's me, Angelo. I'm alive."

Post Labour Day Surprise Just two more left after this one!

Barb let Vicky leave the job, explaining that Vicky would no longer have the protection. Barb later gave an interview to Kristen, who Barb had cleared all deportation charges for, explaining that she wanted to atone for her crimes and through Wicca had found a way to help the world by putting the bad guys in jail. She still stayed hidden. Vicky said goodbye to her adoptive daughter Rachel before disappearing into the night. Jamie tried to escape, but Aitana caught up to them. Alex, now able to be Alex, convinced Aitana to tell Marcos and the rest of the police that it had been an accident in return to allow Jamie therapy sessions to merge her alter and a financial sum. Aitana was reluctant but went along.. Jessica's body wasn't found. At the funeral, Rachel and Elton ran into each other and rekindled their relationship. Rachel left Matt but helped the family get the business back from Kathyrn. She also proved that Ashley was not living up to the clean-living clause, which allowed Lucas to divorce her and not give her the money. Lucas and Marcos had some conversations and reunited. Kathyrn was being taken down. Logan revealed himself to be Michael's long lost brother who tried to seduce Holly. Kathryn was paying him to fake Will's second bout of cancer and was trying to get him addicted to painkillers. Logan went off to jail to share a jail cell with Jordi. Kathryn eluded arrest. The guy Dawn called Steve was actually his twin brother, Sam, who had gone crazy after his brother went crazy in 1999. Steve is the one who had Barb construct bombs and who Mike helped terrorize the school in a shooting. Sam made Dawn write Cesc a note saying that she was leaving him and the family. Cesc immediately knew it was false as he knew Dawn would never leave her kids. He called Will, and Holly helped them look for them. Holly confessed that she was originally hired by Barb's police organization to take Will down for his prior mob activities ten years prior. They went to Barb to try to get her to find Dawn. She was already on it. Sarah continued her therapy of apologising to everyone, including once putting ectasy in her (at the time unknown) sister Amber's drink.. Victor decided to work on getting to know and trust Rafa, and Aitana helped them in couple's therapy. They decided to stay married after that drunken elopment. Victor decided to leave alchol behind as he had left the cocaine. Lenny and Melanie struggled with a rebellious Monica, who would be turning 11 in a few weeks. Aitana began seeing Guille, who worked out his weird feelings for Tomás and admitted he was bisexual. He mourned the one year passing of his wife and unborn kid as he began to realise his feelings for women were much stronger than his feelings for men, although he did have both. Tomás struggled moving on from Sherman. He helped Sarah with her rehab. Sebastian helped Serena and Sergio plan their wedding before Sebastian went back to the States with his wife, Kristen. Serena started freaking out about the wedding. Dawn was trying to stop Sam from hurting her and escape when two gunshots went off. Beth walked into the room. Dawn asked "Aren't you dead? From AIDS? For like 10 years?" Beth shook her head as she put the handcuffs on the bleeding Sam. Next stop on the apology step of the 12 steps was Sarah for being a bitch to Barb in high school. Barb said she would accept the apology if she would go back in time, apologise to Barb and help Barb to prevent the school shootings. In return, as Lenny had fallen for Melanie, Sarah could wander through time to try to save Angelo. "Deal."

Lucas contacted Rachel who poured over his grandmother's will and the stipulations of the marriage agreement to get the inheritance he was entitled to.

Ashley and Lucas went back to Spain, and Lucas was immensely unhappy.

Dawn and Cesc continued to receive threatenening phone calls. Josep called Isabel, saying that his new adopted brother Orlando wanted to see his grandmother. Isabel took him for the afternoon, and Dawn and Cesc freaked out, calling the police. Marcos was sent out for the call, but Josep was returned safe and sound, and Dawn said it was a misunderstanding. She went off on Isabel, explaining the mysterious phone calls. Dawn and Cesc decided to send Josep to live with Imma's sister, as they feared what would happen to their family.

They continued to be watched, and the phone calls continued from a place with articles and photos of Dawn stemming back to her first marriage to Will in 2001.

Kathyrn convinced Matt she wanted to atone for her sins, and he let her help at the family company. When Ashley found out about this, she knew Kathyrn was up to no good. However, the two made an agreement to corrupt and bankrupt the family in Ashley's plan for revenge.

Holly annoyed Logan, Will's doctor, with tons of questions about Will wasn't apparently getting any better. She made him go in for a second opinion and they waited for the results. Logan tried to convince Kathyrn that she was going too far, but she refused to listen.

Sergio and Serena went on vacation to Bilbao during their fiestas, and they planned their wedding. Serena started to become Bridezilla.

Aitana noticed Iñaki acting stranger as she tried to rekindle a romance. Elton asked Jessica if they were going anywhere, and Jessica said she was in love with someone else. She took off to San Sebastián to find Iñaki-Alex.

Rachel worked with Aitana to help Victor, Tomás, and Sarah with their various addictions. They began to apologise to people. Rafa showed up at the house they were using between Bilbao and San Sebastián, and Victor and Rafa began an actual romance, Rafa agreeing to leave his drugs behind and work through rehab too. Victor later apologised to his sister and brother-in-law Melanie and Lenny, and he started annoying them with his recovery.

Victor later apologized to Tomás for what he had done to Guillermo, and he explained to Guillermo he manipulated him into believing that he could be gay or bisexual to ruin Sherman and Tomás. Tomás was furious, and he tried to console Guillermo, who later called Aitana to try to make an appointment. Aitana referred him to a colleague who was an expert on the issues.

Jessica tried to get her job back, but her ex mother-in-law Vicky refused to, saying the people over her head wouldn't allow for it.

Isaac and Isabel said goodbye to Tomás and took off to live in Argentina. Isabel hadn't been to her home country since before Angelo was born.

Cesc promised to Dawn's kids that he would always be there for them and will always be a father to them and protect them.

Rachel told Lucas there was a good conduct clause in the will that would allow Lucas to divorce Ashley without anything happening to him and she suggested having Ashley followed.

Sarah called her brother, Sebastian, and Kristen, his wife, via Skype to apologise for having had Kristen deported at their wedding. Sebastian forgave her, but Kristen refused to and disconnected the internet. She and Sebastian then went outside the balcony over the Madrid skyline.

Vicky tracked down her employer and tried to quit. Barb swiveled around in the chair, saying that once she had broken the law, but now she was the law.

Will got the tests results back from the second opinion to find out he was not battling cancer. Holly, at the hospital, eavsdropped over a conversation that Kathyrn had indeed taken over the company and Will's family was on the verge of bankruptcy, including Ashley. Kathyrn then told Logan that his brother MICHAEL would be proud.

Holly wasn't the only one eavsdropping, as Aitana saw Iñaki at a private beach near San Sebastián. She hid to listen. Iñaki found Jamie, and Jamie confronted him about really being Alex, which he admitted that he had used Iñaki's death to appear dead and that it had been Jessica's idea. Jessica then appeared, and in a rage Jamie pushed her. The fence railing caved and Jessica went over. The screams stopped with a loud splash, then eerie silence.

Dawn, on a nearby beach, watched Cesc entertain her kids as she sipped her mojito. A man approaches her.

"Is this seat taken?"

Dawn blinked and gulped. "Steve?"

oh that Kathyrn

Dawn and Cesc continued to receive strange calls from someone who refused to talk when they answered. They continued to work hard to work Josep into the family as Dawn continued to express interest in returning to the States to live.

Isabel returned to Madrid as if nothing had happened, as she and Tomás worked together to heal from Angelo's death. She later reconciled with Isaac.

Victor went to Melanie whose husband Lenny worked in computers, and they tracked down Rafa in Greece, frolicking on the beach with his fag hag Taylor (a gay male alter of Jamie's). Jamie hid from Victor undected as Victor got his money and possessions back. Rafa and Taylor-Jamie plotted to get money. Rafa and Victor sparred in a homoerotic manner as the sparks flew between them, and they ended up back in bed.

Later, Victor checked himself into rehab.

Rachel and Matt continued to grow closer, but that was stopped when a drunk Sarah barged in, trying to seduce Matt. They tried to takek her to rehab, but she said no, no no. Later, when Marcos arrested her for drunk and disorderly behaviour, she finally agreed.

Jessica caught herself falling for Elton, but she couldn't say goodbye to Iñaki (Álex). Álex as Iñaki found it more and more difficult to pull off Iñaki the closer he got to Aitana.

Tomás started hooking up with strangers again, but when Guillermo found him on his knees in a Chueca toilet stall, he realised his sex addiction was coming back. He checked into rehab. (There's a major week in rehab coming up next issue if you hadn't figured it out.)

Serena and Sergio had a fight about him keeping her in the dark about having been blackmailed, and she said she wanted to know about everything. He later promised to take her on a trip through the north of Spain in August, and the two made up. Wedding plans continued.

Josep, Aitor's son now living with Cesc and Dawn, faked a call from Orlando, Angelo's biological son, to Isabel, saying that Orlando really needed to see his grandmother. She took him out for the day, and Josep said a strange older woman had taken her.

Dawn was secretly relieved that Holly was taking care of Will as she tried to work through the crisises. However, with Cesc on business in Barcelona and her youngest son Orlando now "missing", Dawn began to freak and call Will, who wouldn't answer.

She then received another silent call.

Ashley and Lucas arrived in Greece. Lucas found Jamie and tried to warn her, and Gabrielle took control as the lead alter again. However, the escape plan was ruined when Ashley caught Lucas with Jamie. Ashley grabbed Jamie as she (Ashley) dialed her mobile.

"Iñaki, this is Ashley...I have someone who would love to talk to you."

At the hospital, Logan took Holly and Will aside to discuss his lack of progress. Kathyrn used this opportunity to sneak in and switch out Will's medicine that was supposedly helping him as an alternative to chemotherapy.

They were highly addictive pain killers.

Logan the doctor said he was prescribing a new medicine that appeared from a disguised Kathryn the pharmacist. After Holly and Will left, his mobile in silent and missing Dawn's calls, Logan kissed Kathryn, then asked her if she was sure faking someone's cancer diagnosis and getting them addicted to pain killers was the best plan for revenge.

Kathryn smiled her evil grin.

continued drama...

Kathryn went off on Barb for Georgina's death, saying she was to blame. Barb said she had only programmed Georgina to take the blame for all the crimes of both Kathryn and Barb and it wasn't her fault if she couldn't handle it. Kathyrn surprisingly grieved for her little sister.

Cesc and Dawn became overly cautitious (again) with the kids as Dawn decided to take them for an extended trip to the States in August.

Jamie's alter Gabrielle sexed up the Greeks as Ashley's PI discovered Jamie was in on the Greek Isle of Mykonos. She told Lucas they were going on another honeymoon, this time to Greece.

Sherman appeared in Tomás's dream, saying it was okay for him to move on sexually. He planned a special night for Guillermo.

Matt and Rachel continued their fliration as she advised him on running the family company while Will was undergoing treatment again.

Will continued his cancer treatment with Holly by his side. He paid his friend Isaac a visit, and Isaac told him to go for Holly the second he made it through the alternative treatment. Isaac wondered where Isabel was, as no one could find her. Later, Isaac served new doctor friends Elton and Logan after a rough day of work.

Sarah interviewed Jordi live on television about his plan for Catalunya. Just as he was about to take over the studios with his terrorist forces, Marcos came in to arrest him for treason, blackmail and corrupt bad things. The entire cast were watching on their tv's and iPads and stuff!

Kathryn went to Vicky, head of the Interpolish organization, and Vicky congratulated her on a job well done, officially absolving her of all crime and making Kathyrn look good for once.

Aitana told Sergio and Marcos they were always in the clear as her sister, the one they thought they had killed, had a drug problem and the autopsy said it was an overdose.

Aitana and Iñaki talked about caused them to split, and Alex, pretending to be his dead brother Iñaki, realised that it was Aitaina who had cheated and not Iñaki. He later went to see Jessica, who was busy making house with Elton.

Lenny and Melanie continued their wedding romance as Monica got used to her father and Elena adapted to her new stepfather.

After the interview, Sarah went drinking and barged in on Tomás's night to make it special for Guillermo. Tomás consoled her over Angelo's death, as the two had been helping, and made a raincheck for Guillermo. He later relapsed into his own sexual addiction.

Rachel went to talk to Aitana about staging an intervention with Victor.

Victor realised he had hit rock bottom when he woke up and looked for Rafa, noticing that his wallet, iPad, iPhone, iMac, iTV, and everything else Apple makes were missing and his accounts had been cleaned out.

Before taking off to Greece, Lucas told Marcos that he had married Ashley to be able to access the trust fund his dying grandmother had left him and his parents had controlled, that he had to appear straight and in recovery from that evil homosexual disease all the cool kids have these days, and Ashley had agreed to marry him if he would give her a bit of cash to exact revenge on her family.

The two secretly kissed.

In Sicilia, Isabel made her entrance into the mafia compound that had taken her hostage and had killed Angelo undetected.

She took out her gun and shot everyone in there, stealing away into the night.

2nd June

Jamie's alter Gabrielle gave Nikkos an ultimatum, that he marry her or pay her 100,000 Euro a month. Later, the alternate personalities gathered and fought about the best way to protect Jamie. Later, Nikkos publically came out, causing Jamie/Gabrielle to lose her blackmail opportunity.

Victor talked Tomás into getting out of the house and going to Pride. Victor's descent into drugs and booze took a turn for the worse at Pride, where he met Rafa. The two instantly clicked. At Pride, Guille and Tomás ran into each other. Guille said he wanted to try gay sex again with someone who cared about him, and Tomás said he wasn't ready to get back into the sack after losing Sherman.

Will began the alternative therapy for cancer. He spent a lot more time with his children and with Holly, as the two started to develop feelings. Cesc and Dawn went with them to take the kids on a picnic. They let Josep, Aitor's son, play with them when suddenly Anthony was hanging from a cliff. Cesc and Will saved Anthony from falling, but they were questioning Josep's integration into the family.

Alex slipped and spoke to Aitana in Euskera instead of Spanish, and Aitana was shocked as Iñaki always said he hated Euskera and was very Spanish.

Serena and Sergio began to plan the wedding. Ashley grew jealous of Marcos and Lucas' friendship, but she didn't mind his friendship with Serena.

Sarah began to drink more and more to cope with the loss of Angelo. Isabel stopped leaving the house, and Isaac, Tomás and Sarah couldn't get through to her.

Kathyrn paid Barbara for her services. She later paid Georgina a visit in prison, reprimanding her sister for giving in too easily.

Elton and Jessica grew closer. Lenny and Melanie settled into married life. Rachel pretended the kiss with Matt didn't happen as she prepared the divorce from Georgina.

Jordi met with Marcos and Sergio, admitting he had sent the letters, and brought out his witness, a trembling Aitana. He said that the police would find out everything if they didn't do exactly as he demanded in his upcoming war for independence.

The police found Georgina hanging from the rafters in her prison cell.
