Season Finale...until...? No tengo tiempo :(

Previously on HCP Inc

After the bomb blast, Jimmy was in a coma, everyone went back to Madrid, things returned to somewhat normal. Jimmy later awoke and joined the operation antiAitor and grew closer to Brianna, who was later kidnapped by Aitor when he needed a nurse.

Aitor called on Stefano to pay his debt and when Jamie tried to kill him, he (offscreen) raped her. This was when he kidnapped Brianna.

Jamie was found by Iñaki, Alex's twin brother, who nursed her back to health. Iñaki's girlfriend, Jessica, was too busy trying to track down Aitor to notice.

Lucas, after being disowned completely by his parents, returned to Spain where he started to accept his homosexuality and stood up for gays in the same class he was unable to before.

Sister Georgina turned Kathyrn into the police, where she went off to prison.

Dawn and Cesc visited Oviedo in Asturias, where they stumbled upon a wedding. While they set their wedding for May sweeps, they silently said vows to each other during the wedding taking place. Cesc ignored his brother, Aitor. Dawn also struggled with her jealously of Cesc's old friend Imma.

Will and Melanie continued to meet for coffee.

Rachel continued sleeping with Elton for access to painkiller prescriptions. Jessica and Elton began to realise that she had a problem and wanted her to seek help. She refused to admit she had a problem and said she was still recovering from the breakup.

Sarah's career was still being kept track of by a mysterious figure.

Marcos and Lucas met and had a conversation.

Angelo became worried about his mother, Isabel, and her involvement with Stefano and his father and his ties to the mafia. He started to become overprotective of Sarah, which she hated.

Tomás, busy with his studying for the test to become a teacher, was oblivious to Sherman's manipulation of him for the football team.

Serena and Sergio began dating.

Shane proposed to Amber, she said yes. He later used Marcie to track down Barb for help with Aitor. Barb refused to help him, as she had found religion and was no longer evil after finding religion.

Right as a kidney was found for Megan on the blackmarket, she was shot and killed by one of Aitor's goons, coincidentally. Jack later decided to go back to the States when Jimmy was feeling better. He found out Aitor was responsible for the Atocha attacks and vowed revenge. Kyle went back to the States.

Amber was haunting Aitor and tricked him into confessing many crimes whilst wearing a wire. After Jessica in Interpol and Marcos with the Spanish police had it recorded, Amber tripped and started bleeding. Aitor threw her in the cell he was keeping his pregnant with twins nurse Brianna where he threatened to kill them both. Imma, his ex girlfriend and mother of child (and new town shrink), was working with the police to bring him down. The house exploded in a bomb set by the police. Everyone escaped, but Brianna lost one of the twins, who had to be operated on to save the other's life with his heart. Marcos and Jessica found Aitor and arrested him.

Season Finale

Amber and Shane flashback throughout their relationship, the goods and the bads, the various attempts at marrying.

At the wedding, various characters either flashback and flashfoward through various events.

Sarah interviews Aitor who shows no remorse for anything he did. Rachel agrees to be his lawyer. Sarah interviews her, and Rachel says she knows she is representing the devil, but it pays well.

At the rehearsal dinner, Amber announces that she's quitting her job representing Will's family company, surprising no one, but shocking everyone when she revealed that she and Shane were moving back to Michigan to start her own law practice.

Shane and Amber got married without a hitch this time, giving them a happy ending. The reception, however, got interesting.

Marcos and Lucas went to the wedding together, and they ended up taking off to return to Marcos' place, making out and taking off clothes. Lucas ignored his mobile, which was his grandmother's attorney calling to say she had died.

Jimmy and Brianna were dancing, about to share their first kiss, when Brianna started feeling labour pains. Only being a little over six months pregnant, she started freaking out as she waited for the ambulance to take her to the hospital.

Dawn kissed Cesc during a slow dance. Cesc went to talk to Imma, saying "Dawn doesn't know, and I don't think she will. Our secret is safe."

Dawn went to find Will, and found him sharing a passionate kiss with Melanie. Dawn was about to give them their space when Will had a seizure. He fell to the floor, unconscious, and he was rushed off to the hospital.

During this time, Jamie and Iñaki were finally consummating their attraction in the bathroom. Jessica walked in and overheard, not realising it was her boyfriend in there with Jamie.

Amber and Shane then ended the reception out of respect, and they rode off into the sunset.

Later....Jack also took off to return to Michigan and to start a new job working with a volunteer service for AIDS patients.

Elton and Jessica joined forces to make Rachel go to rehab. Rachel started crying, saying "I still love him. I still love Lenny. I just need...to make...it through the day...without Lenny." The words hung in the air as they drove her to rehab.

Sherman bought an expensive engagement ring to give to Tomás, and just as he was about to propose, Tomás confronted him about his manners to get him to give up the football team to Sherman's family. The two fought, and Tomás said "Goodbye", slamming the door. Sherman threw the ring against the wall where it broke, sliding to the ground.

Marcie visited her boss, Barb, who was practicing her new religion which was saving her from evil. Barb then said some words, and Marcie passed out cold. "Wicca is such a fun religion," Barb said, smiling evilly as she made a plane reservation to Madrid.

Inspired by the wedding, Sergio and Serena took off to elope. Sergio asked if she were ready, and ready for the wedding night. Serena said "It's your call."

Sarah and Angelo had a fight as Sarah wanted to take off to find Serena and stop her from getting married, and Angelo said to let her make her own mistakes. Sarah took off, alone. Angelo then got a call saying his mother had been kidnapped. He called Tomás and the two took off to Italia.

Jessica told Stefano her concerns that Iñaki might be developing something with Jamie. Stefano shrugged it off before ordering a hit on Iñaki, showing he still had mob ties. Shots later rang out outisde Jessica and Iñaki's home in San Sebastian.

Jamie found out she was pregnant, and doing the math, realised it was probably Aitor's.

Sister Georgia visited Kathyrn in prison, to apologise and say she had to do what she had to do. Kathyrn shrugged it off, saying she would get revenge on all who had done her harm.

Sister Georgia then went outside, into a bathroom, put on Lady Gaga and changed into a sexy outfit. "Now to celebrate the destruction of my "poor widdle sissy" Kathyrn", she said, smiling evilly.

Sarah was crying in the dark, trying to find her sister, when a shadowy figure stepped out of the shadows.

"Don't cry, honey. Don't cry." Sarah looked up into the face of her long-presumed-to-be-dead love of her life, Lenny.

In a prison, all the cells were empty. There was a deafening silence as the camera panned around. Flashbacks went to various characters wishing Aitor dead or visiting him in prison threatening him.

In a jail cell, hanging from the ceiling from a rope, was Aitor's lifeless body.

Post Labour Day Surprise

Lucas's grandmother arranged a meeting between him and his parents in her hospital room, but the parents refused to listen to reason and said unless Lucas successfully completed the ex-gay program and marry a nice Christian girl, they would never speak to him again.

Later, his grandmother died and his parents refused to allow him to attend the funeral. He had to ask Sherman to loan him money to return to Spain and his university program, disowning completely his parents, knowing that it was okay to be gay.

Megan felt bad about breaking Kyle's heart on her wedding day to him but also knew she wanted to be with Jack once and for all, at least until the HIV allowed the hepatitus B and E to kill her! Jack tried to smooth things over, but Kyle refused to talk to him or Megan. Jack continued to search for a blackmarket liver for Megan.

Later, Kyle slept with his good friend Melanie.

Melanie and Will shared a conversation about their exes, siblings Dawn and Elton, when the divorce between Dawn and Will became final. Will said he was ready to move on but he didn't want another Kathyrn.

Rachel went to visit Elton's office and told him that while the sex was fantastic, she just wasn't wanting a relationship as she wasn't over her ex. She also stole his prescription pad.

After killing the vampires, Kathyrn (played by Sarah Michelle Gellar, remember), said "Just call me Buffy, bitches" and disappeared. Aitor retreated to figure out a new plan for Catalunya freedom.

Sarah was the first to miss the vampires, and she informed Jack what had happened to Heather. An anguished Jack finally consummated the relationship with Megan 9 years after they first met. Sarah and Angelo realised that they still had problems and all the honeymooning and travelling was just covering them up, so they had a session with the new therapist in town, Inma, who helped them a ton.

Inma tried to answer her son's questions about Aitor, but she also knew no answer was good enough. Aitor accoused her of being after his money.

Aitor arranged for Jimmy to go to Granada to kill Serena and Sergio. Jimmy, working undercover, went to Marcie to try to get the RJ499 drug to make people appear dead. Marcie refused until Shane and Amber talked her into it and threatened to go find Marcie's employer (that isn't the hospital).

Jimmy went with Brianna to her first ultrasound, and they learned she was having twins. Later, Shane confided in Brianna that he was going to propose to Amber as soon as she got out of her marriage to Aitor.

Amber began to haunt Aitor, sneaking into the house and spraying her perfume, writing messages in the bathroom mirror, shit like that.

A shadowy figure continued to collect videos of Sarah's newscasts and clippings.

Marcos closed his file on the vampire murders, stating them officially unsolved so the government in charge of the Vampire X-Files would be happy! And the vampire story is over! Yayyyyyy! The writers offer their sincere apologies for this mess.

Jessica introduced Jamie to her boyfriend, Iñaki, and explained that Iñaki was Alex's twin brother. Iñaki explained that he didn't know he had a brother until weeks before Alex had died and didn't want anything to do with his brother. A confused Jamie went back to Madrid where Stefano was arriving from Italia.

Jessica later called her sister, Megan, to see how she as doing, and she and Iñaki made plans to visit Madrid. Jessica then called Marcos to say that she was closing in on proof of Aitor's bad doings.

Kathryn went to Italia to the convent, where a nun named Sister Georgia (Michelle Trachtenberg! Oh those casting geniuses!) showed Kathyrn to her son.

Jimmy arrived in Granada and found Sergio and Serena having a romantic moment in Mirador de San Nicolás. Right before they were about to share their first kiss, he stopped them to explain that Aitor was after them.

Dawn had arranged a romantic dinner for her and Cesc in Granada near Mirador de San Nicolas where, Dawn being Dawn, she proposed to Cesc. He said yes.

Aitor made a call. "Fire." He then called Sarah. "I want you to report that there will be more casualties all over Spain unless Catalunya is given their independence."

In Granada, in the plaza at sunset, shots rang out before a small car explosion went off.

It's time for the Labour Day Surprise!

Aitor and Imma had strong words, and Aitor eventually met his son, who ignored him completely. The son was about 10 years old for reference for future stories that may arise by Aitor having a son.

Working with the new psychologist Imma, Melanie decided to have her daughter Monica's friend Billy try to convince her that his dad Will was okay. Monica retreated more and more from her parents.

A strange woman opened the door to Carson and told him she had no clue who this Jessica was. Defeated, he returned to Madrid. Then Carson glamoured the police into believing that the murders were the fault of of gypsies worshipping vampires and witches, allowing Elton to walk free. Later, he celebrated with Rachel, his lawyer, by drinking too much and going home with her.

Lucas was met by his parents by a door slammed in his fapce. Later, he found out that it was his grandmother, not his mother, who had had the stroke.While his parents refused to have anything to do with Lucas because of his homosexuality, his grandmother, who he went to visit in the hospital, told him that she loved him and was proud of him and that her daughter was breaking her heart. Lucas took the words to heart.

Will decided that the family company should have the soccer/football team, so he decided to have his cousin Sherman talk boyfriend Tomás into selling the team to him. Tomás and Sherman adjusted to living together again.

Sarah reluctantly told Marcos about Amber's plan to entrap Aitor, and Marcos said he would look the other way and help out to bring Aitor down.

Marcie tried to break up Shane and Amber, but Shane revealed that he had tricked Marcie into handing over the RJ499 drug without having to sleep.

Jamie refused to listen to Kathyrn and took off to visit her mothers to unwind. Kathyrn tried to seduce Stefano to no avail.

Melanie comforted Will when the divorce papers were finalized, and the two talked about the siblings they were formerly married to (as Dawn and Elton are brother and sister even if the show never remembers this tidbit!)

Jimmy continued to work undervover, and Brianna decided to help him.

Serena called her sister Sarah, which Sergio told her not to do, and Aitor's goons, who had a trace on her mobile, saw that Sergio and Serena were in Granada.

Jack asked Elton if it was true Megan was ineligible for a liver transplant due to her HIV status, and Elton said perhaps they could get one on the blackmarket.

Rachel and Jack attended Kyle and Megan's wedding. When the preacher asked if anyone had any reason to object, Megan surprised everyone by saying that she did...that the person she wanted to marry was Jack.

Aitor invited Carson over to show that he had kidnapped the former Vampire Queen and Heather and killed the vampire queen in front of Carson. He then said that he would do the same to Heather if he didn't make him a vampire so he could be invincible and have all the power to make Catalunya free and all his evil villain bad ass plans.

Kathyrn then skulked in and staked Carson and Heather. "Not so fast, Aitor," she said with a smile before skulking back into the shadows.

In San Sebastián, Jamie went for a sunset walk on the beach when she ran into a familiar face.

"Jessica! Wow...you're alive! What are you doing here?"
"Just here with my boyfriend" Jessica replied. "Oh, here he cames."

The camera pulls away to reveal a man walking over to Jessica, perhaps lingering a little too long in the crotch and abs area as it's been awhile since the writers have gotten any, and then all the way up to the familiar face.

Switching to Jamie, who gasps one word.

"ALEX!?!?"

Jack and Shane walked by Atocha and commented on the bomb and how they had help rebuild it when they ran into Aitor, returning from Italia. He tipped their hats to them, and Shane glared. Jack asked Shane how he was coping with Amber's death, and Shane said the best he could. Jack then confided in his best friend that he was HIV+ and how Megan was dying. He skipped the part about Heather becoming a vampire for good reason, as who believes that crap? Later, Megan told Jack that it wasn't the HIV that was killing her but a combination of Hepatitis B &D viruses causing her liver to fail. Due to her being HIV+, she was ineligible of a liver transplant, saving us all from a Susan Mayer type storyline! (The writers just did 2 minutes of research on Wikipedia for this, which is 2 minutes more than a lot of soap writers!)

Megan then asked Jack to be a witness at her wedding to Kyle, and Jack reluctantly agreed. Megan and Rachel both continued to try to track down Jessica. Carson repeated that he had no clue where Jessica had disappeared to.

Dawn was not happy to see Kathyrn alive. Kathyrn tormented Dawn, letting her know that she faked her death with that RJ499 pill that makes people appear dead which was supposedly destroyed. She told Dawn that she wanted her to pay and then mentioned "I bet Will hasn't let you in on his little secret."

Dawn asked, "What secret? as Kathyrn disappeared into the shadows. Kathyrn then wrecked havoc by appearing and disappearing to Will as if she were a ghost, prank calling Jamie and calling Marcos to try to enlist his help in bringing down Aitor in exchange for immunity for having faked her death and wasting tax payers' money with Dawn's trial and the police hunt etc etc etc. Marcos refused to cut a deal.

Marcos was falling off the deep in after Isidro's death. One morning, after waking up next to a hottie and very hung over, he received a call from Aitor, informing Marcos that he was responsible for Isidro's death and that more death would occur if Marcos did not help him with his plan.

Shane and Amber continued their reunion as Amber prepared to become a "ghost" to tape Aitor confessing to his crimes, not at all ripped off from 1993 General Hospital with Felicia and Ryan. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXP8g978xQg&feature=related ). Marcie continued to try to come in between them.

Cesc and Dawn went to Alicante in his renewed quest to show her all of Spain. Dawn and Cesc talked some about their exes (Dawn mentioned Matt, Steve, Jared, James, Will, Angelo.....how many has she killed? Er how many have died?) Cesc stayed quiet, worrying about saying too much. Later, Dawn called Marcos and told him about Kathyrn.

The new psychiatrist arrived at the hospital, Immaculada, Imma for short, the woman looking for Aitor! She met with Jack, who was dealing with everything and who felt it weird talking to a woman instead of Isidro, and she tried to help Melanie deal with the aftermath of having killed her daughter's molester and spoke with Monica, Melanie's daughter, who was isolating herself into her own world. Monica did allow Elton to visit her, but she still screamed whenever Will came to visit Melanie and showed fear toward almost every adult man. Will and Melanie continued to see each other for coffee conversations. Will was haunted by the "ghost" of Kathyrn, seeing her everywhere he went.

Marcie too landed a job at the hospital in reception.

Sergio and Serena continued their way to Granada. Serena found out that Sergio smoked pot on very rare occasion, which she had never tried, being the goodie goodie two shoes she is. After Sergio learned of his cousin Isidro's death, Serena tried it with him, and the two gazed at stars having a very weird yet meaningful conversation. Sergio told Serena he would teach her how to party Spanish style. The two nearly kissed.

Jimmy revealed that he was working undercover to try to bring Aitor down. Brianna found out that she was pregnant, and Amber, Shane and Jimmy consoled her and told her that it would be okay. Amber was later reunited with her son Brianna had been taking care of.

Tomás and Angelo (and their mother) mourned for vampire sister dying the True Death. Tomás went back to Spain. Sarah came to Italia to celebrate her first anniversary with Angelo there. The two went to Firenze and Venezia. Later, Sarah met Angelo's long-lost brother, Stefano and found out that Stefano was married to Jamie. She remarked that Jamie had married or almost married all the brothers. (Tomás was hired to pose as Jamie's husband to break up the wedding between Jamie and Elton in 2003, and she later married Angelo as part of a green-card scam.) Later, the not-so-dead Kathyrn showed up in Italia on Jamie's doorstep.

"Let's kill the son of a bitch, girlfriend." Kathryn said.

Tomás and Sherman decided to move in together. The two remained concerned about Lucas, who finally returned to Madrid. He said he had decided to do the Camino del Santiago on the spur of the moment and had a live changing experience. Sherman then told him that his family had been looking for him after his mother's stroke. Lucas, at first, wanted nothing to do with his family, but Sherman talked him into paying them a visit after saying he would buy the ticket to the States. At the airport, Lucas nearly ran into Alberto but didn't see the guy who had broken his heart.

Rachel went to Carson and demanded that he find another way to hide the vampires than to make Elton be a psychopath killer. Carson said he would do his best, but he later became distracted when the former Vampire Queen and then Heather disappeared. Later, a desperate Carson showed up at an apartment in Bilbao, knocking on the door. The door opened.

"Jessica?" Carson asked.

Aitor sipped wine as he plotted evilness when Imma knocked on his door.

In Catalán, Imma said "There you are. There's someone I want you to meet. Your son."

Is the show back on track? Let's hope!

On a snowy night in 2009, Rachel and Carson were seen talking about her recent breakup. Jessica and Rusty said they were ready to leave as they took their newborn to the car. Carson drove. There was an accident that killed Carson and the newborn infant, Rusty went into a coma, Rachel was hurt bad and prescribed painkillers. A vampire saved Carson by turning him into a vampire...this vampire was the vampire queen of Spain.

Back in 2011...Carson was made the new vampire King for the next 100 years (unless voted out by the masses...as vampire royalty can only run for a century!) after his marriage to new vampire, Heather.

Megan went to Rachel to see if she had any clue where her former sister-in-law, Jessica was. Rachel said that Jessica didn't even keep in contact with her. Later, Megan and Kyle began to make a list of things they wanted to do together before she got super sick from AIDS and began to plan their wedding.

Reeling from the news of his own HIV status and the news that Megan was dying, Jack went to find Heather, who ended things with Jack by telling him that she was a vampire and married to Carson. Heather dealt with the changes of being a vampire and the thirst for blood, offering to cure Jack of his HIV like she did hers by making him a vampire.

Lucas was nowhere to be found, and Sherman and Tomás began to become concerned.

Brianna dealt with the deaths of her best friend and husband within hours as the best she could. She tried to console Aitor, who was quite good at faking being upset over Amber's death. Sarah regretted not getting to know her sister/rival better. Jimmy ended up consoling Brianna, listening to her talk more and more.

Rachel confronted Carson and told him she wanted Elton, her new client, released of all the vampire victim murder charges. Carson said he would think about framing someone else, and Rachel threatened to go to Marcos and Sarah with all the proof and have them expose the existence of vampires.

Marcos was inconsolable over Isidro's death. He took off to Valencia and ignored everyone's calls and took up drinking after the funeral. Jack and Melanie saw each other and found out about the death of their shrink together.

Melanie missed seeing Kathyrn, and Dawn and Cesc refused to believe that Will had actually seen Kathyrn. In an elaborate montage set to Lady Gaga's Marry the Night, various characters boarded and left the metro, missing seeing Kathryn...and the mysterious woman looking for Cesc.

Will and Melanie continued to grow closer. Her daughter, Mónica, was released from the hospital and tried to adjust to living at home again, but woke up every night with nightmares. Despite knowing Will as "Billy's daddy", she was scared of him.

Sergio and Serena went on the run. At first Sergio decided to stop at the first pit stop the bus made on the way from Madrid to Granada, but after being recognised as the missing football player, they tried to hitchhike their way to Granada, bickering all the time.

Aitor continued with his nefarious plan to free Catalunya of Spain, and he told Jamie that he would expect payment of his poker game winnings from Stefano whenever he wanted.

Stefano revealed to Jamie that his family in Italia were big in the mafia (which Jamie already knew), and he told her that he had arranged the bet so she could kill him herself. He began training her in shooting.

Angelo, Stefano's long lost brother, met his mother, Isabel and his father and other cousins in Sicilia, Italia. At night, his vampire sister María joined them.

Marcie kept annoying Shane about telling someone about how he got some information, and Shane tried to call her bluff, saying that everyone who needed to know already knew and were okay with it.

The mysterious woman caught up to Cesc. The two were old friends, and she explained that she was looking for Aitor and had something very important to tell him.

Later, the much-alive Kathryn paid a visit to Dawn.

Sarah, Brianna, Jimmy and Shane gathered in a dark corner of Madrid to talk with Amber. Amber faked her death using the RJ999 drug that makes one appear dead, after Shane slept with Marcie to get it. Amber kept mentioning desperate times called for desperate measures, and she kissed Shane.

In Italia, Aitor showed up to Isabel's place where Angelo was talking to her and María. He took out a gun loaded with a silver bullet and shot it at María's heart.

"My father's death...partially avenged," said Aitor before disappearing into the night through the dust Maria's vampire remains left.

the show went into hiatus two months...here are the cliffhangers

Rachel continued to take her pills, and she vowed to clear Elton's name.

At a party attended by Tomás, Sherman, Lucas, Marcos and Isidro, Lucas was offered cocaine by a guest and he took it, then started freaking out and hating himself for trying it. Sherman and Tomás tried to help him calm down, but he took off. The next day, his father called to leave a message on his phone that his mother had a stroke. Lucas was nowhere to be found.

Colin flatlined, and the doctor comforted Brianna as Colin passed away.

María came out to her mother as vampire.

Jack overheard Megan tell Kyle that her HIV had turned into AIDS and that she had maybe six months left o live.

Carson turned Heather into a vampire so she would be cured of AIDS. He had his vampire queen, so he was set to become vampire king.

Sergio and Serena were fighting when Aitor's goons surprised them. Shots rang out as the two ran off into the night.

Cesc and Dawn reunited, having a special night together, saying that nothing could separate them again. A mysterious woman boarded a train, staring at the two last names of Cesc..."Voy por ti"...(I'm coming for you).

Stefano took Jamie to a poker game. He made a bet he couldn't pay, so he bet Jamie and lost her to Aitor.

Isidro and Marcos shared another tender moment as husbands. Isidro said he needed to go get money from the cash machine and went out. While at the ATM, a figure pulled out a gun and shot him four times, leaving him bleeding.

Will and Melanie went for coffee, and Will was flabergasted when a voice from behind him say "Rumours of my death have been greatly exaggerated." Kathyrn then appeared.

As Aitor was about to take Jamie into his lair, he received a call from his panicked body guard, Jimmy.

"I just found Amber. She's dead." The camera switched to Jimmy reading Amber's suicide note and lifeless body.

countdown to summer hiatus begins

Elton pled not guilty for the murders of Esme, Cristina, Moira, Kathyrn, Bea and all the other recent murders. The police had found volumes of vampire informational readings in his apartment and evidence. He hired Rachel as his lawyer, who asked point blank if he did it.

The police later found a video from Esme's phone of Melanie killing Juan, adding to the evidence, saying that he had killed Esme to protect Melanie, who had obviously done it in self-defense. He was denied bail.

Rachel returned to her office and stared at a photo of someone the audience couldn't see, broke out a flask of vodka and swallowed some pills hidden in her desk.

Dawn had a long talk with Will to tell him that she was finally ready to move on from him and hoped she could start a new life with Cesc and that he would forgive her. Either way, she wanted the divorce as quickly and painlessly as possible.

What Dawn was unaware of was that with Rachel's help, Cesc had bugged her and had heard the whole thing. He decided to take Dawn back and the two would start from scratch.

Stefano went to Italia to verify that he was Angelo's brother and  met Isabel. Angelo and Sarah continued  their bond as husband  and  wife, both dealing with unexpected  siblings. Later, Stefano surprised Angelo by telling him that Isabel was lying to him and Tomás about her location.

Jamie sent Aitor more threats from "Mayte" and "Gabrielle", which Aitor threw in the trash.

Serena exploded at Sergio for the cancelled date. When he went to kiss her, she slapped him and  went off in a huff. If the audience doesn't see the writing on the wall...

Tomás and Sherman returned to Madrid. Sherman helped Will reassemble the company.

Brianna waited at the hospital for Colin to wake up. He stayed in the coma, and she asked dawn about her coma and if there was hope. dawn comforted her. As a nurse, Brianna had seen this situation and began preparing for the worst.

Will ran into Melanie at the hospital. He comforted her with the Monica situation best he could, and over coffee, she helped him process the divorce from dawn.

Shane went to track down someone who could help him with taking down Aitor and saving Amber. Instead of finding the more and  more elusive Barb, he found her assistant and  Jamie's former stalker, Marcie. She said she would help him bring down Aitor if he slept with her.

Carson met with the current vampire Queen who said he had two more weeks to find himself a queen or he would not inherit her queendom when her term was over soon. (Vampires can only be monarchs for 100 years, of course. Crazy vampire laws. This vampire plot will be over soap soon...by November. I promise.)

María showed up as her vampire self to surprise her mom, Isabel.

Jimmy flew to Spain to be with his brother during this time. Jack was touched by the gesture. Heather told Kyle she was falling for Jack and  for him to work on planning his wedding to Megan. Later, Jimmy interviewed for a bodyguard position and accepted it before finding out his new employer was named Aitor...

Aitor "found" the person responsible for the bomb in Puerta del Sol and made a very rousing speech that added to his popularity.

Marcos surprised Isidro with another surprise trip to the beaches of Valencia...this time complete with an ordained person to marry them. The two exchanged vows in a peaceful sunset setting with Isidro's cousin Sergio as a witness to congratulate the new couple.

Amber arranged for a coffee with her sister, Serena, her long-lost sister, Sarah, and best friend Brianna. The threesome kept waiting for Amber...and waiting...and waiting...

Aitor arranged for a lunch with Amber, where he drugged her and  held  her captive, and with Lucas. He shocked the two friends when he lead them to a dark room where he had Brian held hostage. He told them "I know all about your vampire fantasy, Amber, and I think Brian's brother should witness this too." He pulled out a stake...opened the curtains to make Brian even in more pain with the bright Spanish summer sun...and slowly staked Brian.

Amber tried to stop him, but she ended up holding dust.

ending of May Sweeps yawn fest!

Chaos ensued at Puerta del Sol. Most everyone was okay and looked out for each other, but Colin was hit by debris from the explosion. He was rushed to the hospital, where the doctors (Elton had a busy night) looked over everyone. Colin slipped into a coma where his wife Brianna stood by his side, sleeping at the hospital.

At the hospital, thanks to Lucas' encouragement, Serena got the courage to ask Sergio on a date and got his number. The two tentatively made a date.

Sarah rushed back to Madrid to cover the story, but she gave Angelo her support to talk to Stefano. Stefano refused to admit the possibility he was half brothers with Angelo and called Isabel a lying puta. Angelo tried calling his mother, but her mobile had been disconnected. Tomás tried to be supportive to his brother.

Later, after another passionate night, Sherman and Tomás were cuddling and talking. Tomás decided that he was going to become a teacher and would apply to schools to start in the fall...getting out of the bar and football ownership business. Sherman decided to help his cousin Will put together the company again.

Amber's son had problems readjusting living with her again as he had started to think Brianna was her mother. Aitor was elected president of Catalunya. Amber tricked Aitor into signing the papers that gave the company back to Will. She also called her sister, Sarah, to give her an exclusive interview as the new First Lady of Catalunya. After the expose interview, Sarah encouraged Amber to leave Aitor and to forgive Shane. The two flashed back to their fight in pre-school over a doll that had caused the two to be rivals their entire lives.

Dawn spent her new found freedom with her children, and her oldest son, Billy, told her to get it together and choose a man. She tried to figure out who killed Kathyrn, but her help did not help the police much as she knew nothing. She signed the divorce papers from Will with a flourish and called Amber to file.

Brian told his brother, Lucas, that he should try contacting their parents again soon. He also gave Amber strength to stand up against Aitor, who began drugging her again.

Sergio cancelled the date last minute because he was able to go to a last-minute practice.

Carson told María he was going to clean up her messes and left in a huff.

Isidro introduced Lucas to Marcos, and the two said they would have a party so Lucas could meet people and see that it was truly okay to be gay. Lucas reluctantly agreed. Isidro continued to help Melanie and her daughter cope with the aftermath. She saw her old friend, Kyle, at the hospital and the two caught up.

Marcos got a call that he was needed to investigate a crime scene.

Jamie told Sherman she married Stefano to try to avenge Alex's death after he called her on the multiple personality crap. Sherman told her to be careful.

Kyle asked Heather to watch Jack as he was worried about losing Megan to Jack, and he tried to talk Megan into going back to London to no avail. Later, Jack signed on Skype (MSN Product Placement!) to call his brother, Jimmy, and he told Jimmy he was HIV Positive.

Elton tracked down Esme. The two fought about the money she stole and refused to give back.

Later, the police tracked him down at the hospital.

"You are under arrest for the murder of Esme, among others."

So this is a bit more like May Sweeps.

Tomás and Sherman congratulated Jamie as Gabrielle on her new marriage. Later, Jamie caught up with Sherman to reveal that her "multiple personalities" had returned and Gabrielle had married Stefano without her realising it. Sherman called bull, but later Jamie returned to being Gabrielle.

Later, Sherman and Tomás enjoyed a passionate too hot for t.v. sexual reunion as the two month mark passed. During the afterglow haze, Tomás said he needed to change his life and wanted Sherman to stay around in it for a long time.

Amber and Brianna plotted to get her safely and in a Christian way away from Aitor. As the family business lawyer, Amber plotted a way to sell Will back the company that Aitor had stolen from him. She called him to start being prepared. Brianna´s husband, Colin, arrived, as he coincidentally now worked at the same law firm as Rachel and Cesc. (Amber is still a free agent lawyer).

María calls her mother, Isabel, and she starts preparing for a family reunion between her, her mother and her brothers Angelo and Tomás, to destroy them all in a vampire frenzy.

Brian continues helping his brother, Lucas, understand it´s okay to be gay, just as it was okay for Brian to have become a vampire, and that God creates people the way they are. Carson, the other vampire, plotted to clean up all of María's messes.

Monica, Melanie's daughter, came out of her shock coma and Melanie tried to comfort her. Monica refused to trust the psychologist, Isidro, despite Melanie's promise that he was okay. Isidro tried his best to break through to both of him, as Melanie started becoming depressed, blaming herself for the molestation.

Marcos and Isidro continued the celebration of their engagement.d

Elton helped Esme find a job, and she stole his bank account information. Later, he discovered that she never showed up to work and that she had skipped town with all of his money.

Jack learned he was HIV positive, and he avoided seeing Heather and Megan. He did confide in his best friend, Shane, and Jack flashed back to 2003/4 when he fell in love with Megan but couldn't be with her because of her HIV positive status and his fear. Heather and Megan began to bond as friends. Megan was in the shower when the doorbell rang, and Heather answered it. It was her fiance, Kyle.

After catching Will with Rachel, Dawn realised that she didn't want anything more to do with him. In a dramatic soapy fashion, she admitted to the police with lawyers Rachel and Cesc and soon-to-be ex husband Will present that she was with Will the entire night that Kathyrn was murdered. Will reluctantly confirmed and said he could present credit card receipts to the hotel, etc, and everything corroborrated with the statement Angelo had previously made.

Cesc fled the room, too furious to speak with Dawn, who broke down in tears.

Angelo went with Sarah to Barcelona where she was covering the protests in Plaça de Catalunya. They ran into Sherman, Tomás, Stefano and Jamie/Gabrielle at the hotel outside the protests. Angelo pulled Sarah aside.

"I think it's my brother." "I know Tomás..." Sarah replied, trailing off.

"No...from my real father's family." They both looked at Jamie and Stefano holding hands, a look of evil in Stefano's eyes.

Back in Madrid, Shane, Brianna, Colin, Sergio, Marcos, Isidro, Lucas and Serena headed toward Sol where the protests were taking place. Aitor, a candidate for presidente of Catalunya (don't these dumbass writers know that the Catalan elections were last November?), made a stirring speech with Amber by his side as the fake loyal wife, secretly planning the secession of Catalunya should he win the next day.

As his speech supporting the protests and the voice of the people being heard, Puerta del Sol exploded. 

This May sweeps is a snooze fest.

Megan told Carson she had no clue where Jessica was. He later told her that becoming a vampire would cure her of HIV. She refused to invite him in, so he retreated to Madrid. Later, Megan decided to visit Jack in Madrid and see how he was doing. She met Heather, Jack's new girlfriend, and Megan and Heather decided to team up to get Jack to go get his HIV test results.

Isidro said "sí" to Marcos, and the two began to announce their engagement to anyone and everyone who would listen.

Brian comforted his brother Lucas and convinced him to go see a therapist. Isidro tried to help Lucas understand that it truly was okay to be gay, but Lucas was still scared to really accept himself.

Amber told Shane that she wanted nothing to do with him because he concealed the truth about Sarah being her sister.

Angelo and Sarah began to bond again as husband and wife and had a night of passionate wild monkey sex.

Angelo and Tomás later have a conversation with their mother, who had gone back to Argentina, that María was...not alive but a vampire. Isabel was surprised to hear that her insane daughter was now an insane vampire who had killed Cristina, Bea and others! Mothers tend to be shocked when their children become vampires.

Serena had a dream about Sergio.

Aitor asked María questions about being a vampire, such as how one becomes one and how one destroys a vampire...

Marcos refused to help Aitor, and Sarah continued to refuse Carson´s plea to become his vampire queen.

Elton grabbed Esme's video phone and broke it, saying he would buy her a new one but she was not going to blackmail him. He knew she had no access to a computer, so he presumed there was no copy. He asked how he could help her get on right track, but she didn't want his help. Later, her gypsy friends encouraged her  to go with Yankí Médico to get rich quick.

Melanie coddled Monica, who still refused to talk. Even Isidro master psychologist couldn't get Monica to help.Melanie told Elton that she was going to take Monica back to Hawaii to recover. Melanie also was trying to deal with the fact that she slept with the man who molested her daughter and needed out herself.

Will talked to his brother, Matt, on the phone, and Ashley still had not been found. Dawn decided that she wanted to make things work with Cesc as soon as Rachel and Cesc figured out a game plan and Kathyrn's real killer was found. Later, Dawn walked in on Will and Rachel having passionate wild monkey sex.

Sherman and Tomás left for their trip to Barcelona. Sticking to their plan of no sex until two months dating, which would occur that weekend, they spoke outloud their feelings (like the movie Bent) which proves words are sexy.

Jack went in for the test results. He waited for the doctor, thinking about the future of either results. The nurse called him in. "Tenemos tus resultas."

Brianna, Amber's best friend, arrived in Madrid with Amber´s now three year old son, Johnny. Amber regretted the lost year of her son's life she missed, and she told Brianna everything going on with Aitor. "We have to get you away from him," Brianna said.

Across town, Aitor revealed his sadistic plan to María. "I am going to get Amber to kill herself, damning her to eternal life in hell. She can join my late wife Stephanie there."

Sherman and Tomás went downstairs in their hotel when they saw that their cousin, Jamie, was, in fact, alive and well. She saw them and approached them quickly. "I'm Gabrielle." "You're alive, big surprise. You need to stop screwing with people's emotions and stop faking your death," Sherman said.

Two seconds later, Stefano came by. "And how do you know my wife, Gabrielle?" He asked.

Sherman and Tomás then noticed the big wedding ring on Jamie's finger.

May Sweeps yawn

Rachel told Will that she was not looking for a relationship and that she didn't believe in love, explaining why she was so callous toward Will, Dawn and Cesc's issues. Will told Rachel she was the perfect way to move on from Dawn who still refused to leave Cesc for him or even tell Cesc that she was having an affair with Will. What nerve.

Juan was dead. A shaking Melanie went to comfort Monica, who had ran from the room the second Melanie had entered. Later, Elton and Melanie called the police, and Melanie told Marcos that Juan had tried to rape her, which Elton had walked in and saw, knowing that if they told the truth that Melanie´s story could appear to be premediated murder. Marcos took some statements and believed the story. A shaking Melanie collapsed crying as Monica went into shock, refusing to speak or move. Monica was later taken to the hospital where psychologist extradoinaire Isidro listened to Melanie´s story.

Dawn and Angelo discussed their past during Dawn´s house arrest, and she encouraged him to patch things up with Sarah. He agreed that he would testify that she was with him discussing their son, Orlando, the night of Kathyrn´s murder so she could save her relationship with Cesc. Dawn began to get annoyed with her lawyer, Rachel.

Angelo and Sarah later went for a romantic dinner, and she confided to him about Carson wanting her to become a vampire queen and her repeated refusals.

In the park, Lucas and Serena ran into Sergio while they were out for a jog. Sergio was upset that  he would have to sit out the rest of the season due to his ankle. Serena and Sergio fought flirted a bit before they went on their way. Lucas told Serena that Sergio was hot. Later, Brian visited Lucas and told Lucas that it really was okay that he was gay and that being gay was probably better than being a vampire. The brothers hugged.

Jack and Heather began dating. Despite her urging, he still didn't go in to pick up his test results do to his fear.

Sherman and Tomás planned a weekend in Barcelona. 

Carson paid a visit to his cousin Rachel, and it was revealed that Carson and Jessica/Rusty´s child were the only two to have died in the car. Rachel said that she would not tell him were Jessica was but did not act surprised her cousin was a vampire.

Aitor and María had human vampire sexual intercourse. He later learned she was a vampire when she said she had to go an hour before dawn.  He became intrigued by vampirisim.

Shane stood lookout while Amber went through Aitor´s stuff to find information. Brian informed them that Aitor was coming and Shane slid out the back door. Amber found out about Stephanie, Aitor´s late wife and Amber's high school classmate that had killed herself due to Amber´s dead stepfather's  (Lawrence Powell...) cult and confronted him. Aitor said it was the truth. He then told her that she shouldn't trust Shane as Shane had kept the secret about her being sisters with Sarah.

Isidro proposed to his boyfriend, Marcos and waited for a response.

Carson appeared in London on Megan's doorstep. "I'm looking for your sister. Have you seen Jessica?"

Elton walked out of the hospital into the parking garage when Esme showed up with her camera phone which she had stolen. She spoke to him in her gypsy Spanish accent. "I have something to show you."

The video of Melanie killing Juan played for Elton.

"What do you want for me?" Elton asked. Esme smiled.

Year 13. End of April recap

(Author's note: The changes will take place over a period of time...the rest of this season will feature certain characters at certain times and others and other times.)

Veronica was killed in the explosion, upsetting Marcos and Sergio. It was glossed over in the media. Sergio's ankle was injured, and Tomás/Cesc/Angelo gave him time off to recover. Duh.

Esme snuck to Madrid in the trunk/boot of Elton's car after finding out he was a doctor. She got a job at Tomás and Angelo's bar.

Carson threatened Sarah that if she refused to become a vampire, he would start hurting the ones she cared about. She called his bluff.

María revealed herself in vampire form to her siblings who were shocked and not to happy to see her.

Brian and Amber plotted to free her from Aitor, but Amber told him that as much as she loved him that she could never be with a vampire and told him that he should check in on Lucas more often. Aitor later prohibited Amber from going to church. Later, Shane met with Brian to start figuring out his part of the plan.

Sarah and Angelo continued to meet with Isidro, and the damage by their mutual omissions of truth slowly started to be healed.

Sherman and Tomás continued their non sexual dates as they got to know each other again and fall in love with each other again.

Jack and Heather began to officially date, but he refused to go pick up his results as they are obviously needed to be revealed during sweeps.

Lucas and Serena began a friendship in their class. During a discussion on homosexuality where Lucas sat quietly, Serena defended the right for gay marriage. Later, she confessed she had a crush on him.  Lucas reluctantly told her he was gay but he didn´t want to be, and he told her about Alberto and his disappearance. Serena told him about her mystery man, and the two bonded.

"Gabrielle" began flirting and seeing the mysterious Italian business man named Stefano. After gaining his trust, she said she knew who he was and asked for his help in bringing down a man named Aitor. Stefano replied, "No problem. There will be a price."

Cesc was unhappy with the living situation of Will and Dawn, as was Dawn. Cesc buried himself at work, determined to find out who killed Kathyrn and set Dawn free, but he had to ask himself...where was Dawn at the time of Kathyrn's murder? Angelo later asked Dawn if she and Will were having an affair, and she confessed to her ex that she was really confused about who she loved more.

Rachel shocked everyone by meeting Will at the bar and leading him into the little girl's room where she passionately kissed him.

María later ran into Aitor on a darkened street. The two were instantly attracted.

Eight-year-old Billy told Dawn what Mónica, Melanie's daughter, had told him about the strange games Juan, the au pair and Melanie's boytoy, was forcing her to play. Dawn immediately called her brother, Elton, who stopped what he was doing to go immediately to discuss things with Melanie. Esme hid out in the trunk of his car again.

Dawn hugged Billy tightly, then went to hug her other kids and vowed to do whatever it took to stay out of jail and to protect him.

Melanie was making dinner, and she went to find Juan to ask him what type of sauce he wanted. Carrying the butcher's knife with her, she walked in on Juan naked in Monica's room with Monica in the corner crying. Shocked, angered and feeling every emotion a mother in that situation, she saw her knife, swung it at his "manhood", then started stabbing him. Elton walked in during this and tried to stop her.

Esme climbed out of the trunk (don´t ask me how she sneaks in and out, she's a gypsy) and witnessed everything.

changes.

HCP Inc is undergoing some MAJOR changes.

While the basic cast will remain the same, the recaps will not. Starting with the next one, the show will take the shape of a serialized novel.

More later.

Year 13, Week 3

Megan looked at Jack. "Well, it´s nice to see you too" before inviting him in. Jack discussed his fears about being HIV positive, and Megan told him how healthy she was and about all the progress had been made, despite all her failed tests the year before. She encouraged him to return to Madrid to find out his status after agreeing that he could crash at her place for the time being.

He then noticed the engagement ring on her hand. "Kyle?" he asked.

Heather boarded a plane back to Spain.

Victor and Lucas woke up next to each other, and Lucas hoped it was the start of something. Unfortunately for him, Victor told him he was on his way out of town, moving back to Hawaii, or wherever. Later, Victor saw Tomás and Sherman having a brunch date, and he was civil and wished them both the best of luck. He later said goodbye to his sister, Melanie, and boarded a plane out of town.

María took notice of Aitor. Carson told her that she was not to contact any humans and tried to lock her up, but she escaped. Brian discussed his plane to free Amber from Aitor in private with Shane.

Rachel and Amber worked together to get Dawn out of jail on bail, and Cesc began investigating on his own to try to find out who killed Kathyrn. Rachel informed Dawn, Cesc and Will that to appeal to potential juries that Will and Dawn would have to appear to still be married, much to Cesc's chagrin.

 In Barcelona, the mysterious figure that looked a heckuva lot like Jamie but this time a blonde looked at photos of the now deceased Alex on her phone before approaching a stranger. "Ciao, mi chiamo Gabrielle" she said. (Italian for Hi, my name is Gabrielle).

VALENCIA FALLAS

Angelo and Sarah began to recapture their love. Sherman and Tomás took things slow and managed not to go into each other's rooms.

Melanie went with Juan. Monica, her daughter, complained the whole time about being with the au pair.

While on a project for their art class, Lucas and Serena bonded by discussing the Fallas and what a shame that the great art work was just going to be burned down.

Sergio and his cousin Marcos got super excited by the Fallas. However, Isidro failed to share his boyfriend Marcos' enthusiasm.  Marcos met with this fag hag, Veronica and they all went out. Sergio and Veronica once dated.

Aitor later approached Marcos, a cop, about whether he thought Valencia and Catalunya should unite, and Marcos said no, tots són Espanya and reminded Aitor that he was a policeman.

Aitor later mentioned to Amber with all the fireworks and noise that no one would even notice a bomb.

Elton arrived in Valencia and went to the poor barrio Cabanyal next to the beach in the middle of Fallas. He saw a woman smoking crack selling herself and realised that was the sister of the gypsy woman who died. "¿Esme?" he asked.

Angelo and Sarah discussed their marriage and Sarah apologised for not telling him about the drunken marriage to Matt. She then told him about her Dominican Republic divorce, and he mentioned that he had gotten one from Jamie around that time. Sarah blew up at him and walked off, just at the point they almost got back together...at the same point Fallas started to be blown up.

Carson then appeared to Sarah. "Any more thought on being mine?"

Fallas continued to explode. One near Marcos, Sergio, Isidro and Veronica was set on fire...or blew up by a bomb. Aitor smiled from afar.

Year 13, Week 2

SOME TIME LATER

Aitor was seen fuming at his security, but later it was revealed he had planned the whole thing and the bullets were all blanks so he could speak out against his own terrorist group and look like a good guy when in fact he was the one causing all the destruction.

A shadowy figure was seen DVRing Sarah's newscast about the shooting, adding it to a collection of her published articles.

Amber and Sarah met for a sisterly lunch to discuss things, and the two settled back into their routine of bickering and fighting before Sarah got up and left to meet Angelo for their session with Isidro.

Isidro suggested to Angelo and Sarah that they take a trip together, and the two decided to go to Valencia. Later, Isidro's boyfriend, Marcos, who was from Valencia, surprised him with a trip that weekend for Fallas.

Marcos later met with Sarah to discuss both the vampire murders

Sherman woke up in bed holding a dark-haired man, telling him that he was sure he had made the right decision. The man turned around and kissed Sherman, pulling away to reveal himself as Tomás. Tomás later said that the two should take their time before they got intimate again and have at least two months of romantic dates and getting to know each other again as a couple.

Cesc met with Angelo and Tomás about the football (soccer) team that the brother's mother had given them to discuss business.

Victor showed up on Melanie's doorstep and caught her in bed with Juan. Later, he and Melanie got drunk and Melanie refused to define her relationship with Juan. Victor announced that he was leaving town, and Melanie was sad.

Later, Melanie consoled her eldest daughter, Monica, again after her nightmares.

Elton tried his best to track down the sister of the gypsy who died and later found out she was a gypsy living in the Cabanyal neighbourhood of Valencia. He took off to find her despite the fact that Fallas, an important festival in Valencia, was about to start.

Carson confronted María and told her that she had to learn to control her vampire impulses or people would get suspicious. María glared at him and said she would do later as she pleased.

Brian appeared to Shane, revealing his vampireness, and Shane was surprised but agreed to help him get Amber away from Aitor.

Rachel agreed to take on Dawn's case. Dawn took an instant liking to her after finding out she was Rusty's infamous but never seen sister. Angelo visited Dawn in jail and asked her point blank what was going on between her and Will and if Cesc knew. Dawn refused to answer, and Angelo put two and two together and realised that Dawn was with Will when Kathyrn was murdered. The case continued to mount against Dawn, but Rachel got Dawn out on bail.

Rachel then refused to give Cesc any time off for Dawn's homecoming and her family back together party.

Sergio and Serena thought about each other and wondered if they would ever see each other again. Sergio began training with the team owned by Cesc, Angelo and Tomás.

Heather made it through Scott's funeral and decided to actually follow through and return to Spain to try to make things work Jack.

At dinner, Aitor put some sort of drug in Amber's drink as they discussed her best friend Brianna's upcoming visit to reunited her with her son, who has been staying with Brianna forever and a day now.

A figure with jet black hair but with Jamie's hair stepped off the train in Barcelona. 

Victor went out in Chueca, Madrid's gay barrio, one last time and got drunk with Lucas, who was still playing what if scenarios with Alberto whose phone was disconnected and who hadn't even signed onto Facebook! (The horror!)

Jack showed up in London and rang the doorbell. A familiar face opened the door.

"Megan. I need to talk to you. I might be HIV positive."

Year 13 Season Premiere

Kristen gave a news report from the States reporting the news of a plane crash between Madrid and Barcelona and the car explosions in Madrid . "And now we take you live to Spain and our correspondent, Sarah."

Sarah said that the plane crash could also have been an attack from the Catalan Separtist Group. She then gets a phone call from Angelo, letting her know he's okay and telling her he's realised how much he loved her.

The night rewinds a bit so the audience can see how it unwinds.

Heather tells Jack that she is going back to the States for the funeral but that she will return to Spain. She breaks down on the plane. Jack decides to wait to go in for his HIV results.

Sherman said he needed more time to think about who he would choose, Victor or Tomás. He said he needed until the train station reopening ceremony to make up his mind. 

Amber tracks down Aitor in their big mansion and confronts him about having a file on her. He said he wanted to make sure she was as good as he believed, and he was right. She then asked if it was true that Sarah was her sister. He nodded and left the room with his things to do. Amber called a private investigator as she had her doubts. She then found the letter from Sarah's mom stating that Sarah was her sister.

Lucas eventually left Gran Via when Alberto failed to show up. He ended up at a club where he saw Sherman doing shots. The two chatted about how difficult men were, and Sherman said that he hoped for Lucas that something had happened to Alberto but Alberto had probably stood him up.

Dawn showed up at Angelo's bar with their son, Orlando, asking him to watch him as she had something to do. Angelo knew something was up with her, so he agreed and put the son to sleep in the apartment next to the bar.

The car bombs exploded. Elton tried to save the gypsy who was begging for money, but she died. Her last request was to find her sister, Esmeralda.

Dawn arrived on the scene looking for Orlando. He was rushed to the hospital, covered in blood and needing a blood transfusion from Angelo. WAIT, you mean Angelo knew Orlando was his and not Will's BEFORE the emergency blood transfusion?

Isidro, Marcos, Sergio, Angelo and Elton had nothing more than a few scrapes and bruises, as we are in crisis and cannot afford elaborate makeup.

Elton called Melanie from the hospital, waking her up as she was lying in Juan's arms. Her daughter Monica shrieked not to leave her alone with Juan, so she took the kids to the hospital and Billy, Anthony and Jasmine, Dawn and Will's brats, back to Will.

Carson and Brian, both vampires met at dark, discussing things when María showed up out of nowhere. "Hi boys. Are you enjoying the carnage I'm leaving behind? Cristina, Bea, Joaquin's sister...all the other vampire murders?" She laughed as they glared.

Wendy turned herself into Isidro, saying that she knew she needed help as she was having visions of vampires. She was shipped off to the mental instituation, not to be heard from again until some stupid sweeps plot point in the future.

Cesc comforted Dawn, who didn't tell him that she was with Will (or was she?) when Orlando was injured. 

Later, Will found out that Kathyrn had been killed and his family business was going to the sh*tter as Ashley had been kidnapped and sold into the  Moroccan slave labour, Alex had been murdered and Jamie was presumed dead in the plane accident, although he wasn't 100% sure with how Jamie likes to fake her death every now and then.

Lots of montages to speed time up to the Opening of the Atocha Train Station that everyone got dressed up and gave a chance for cast integration! Featuring Special Guest Star Alicia Keys, because it really doesn't make any sense!

Jack finally met his boss, Aitor, who suggested a new project for him. Aitor plotted the death of Shane and Serena who he had captured. The two spent the time fighting about whether Shane still loved Amber.

Brian guided Sergio to save Shane and Serena while Alicia Keys sang Deseree's Kissing You in the background to drop anvils. Sergio helped them escape. them, although he and Serena instantly clashed and fought.

Sarah continued to rebuff Carson's advances and proposal to make her into a vampire. She and Angelo attended together, making amends. She also told Marcos that Carson was visiting her, and Marcos said they would discuss it later.

Rachel visited Will, who was shocked to finally meet Rusty's infamous sister and Cesc's boss. She told him not to give up and that she would help him fight Aitor to get the company back, although the family was in shreds of its former self.

A mysterious woman who resembled Jamie delivered a message to Aitor, saying that she was his assistant Mayte. The note said "Sé que has matado a Álex. Voy a vencerlo. Me das asco." (I know that you killed Alex. I will avenge him. You make me sick." The woman had disappeared when he looked around.

Outside the train station, Victor and Tomás waited for Sherman. Sherman finally arrived.

"I've made my decision. I choose...."

Cesc was calming down Dawn, who was on the phone to the hospital, annoyed she had to see her future brother in law's reopening party when she wanted to be with her son. Orlando was fine. Will came over to tell them of Kathyrn's death. The police then arrived, saying that they wanted to bring Dawn in for questioning as the primary suspect in Kathyrn's murder.

Amber finally caught up to Sarah. "Hello, sister."

Aitor took the stage to make a passionate speech, mentioning how despite the fact he supported an independent Catalunya that he did not support the CSTG (Catalan Separist Terrorist Group.)

Just then, men with machine guns arrived and started shooting.

Welcome to season 13.

Year 12 Finale

The Killer Season Finale

Cesc and Will had to physically restrain Dawn from going after Kathyrn. They said they would inform the authorities and gave Dawn a sedative.

After viewing Alex and Jamie’s reunion on web cam, Ashley and Sergio broke up with their respective partners. Ashley, against everyone’s advice and wishes, decided to make the Morocco trip by herself. “Nothing will go wrong,” she assured them.

Sebastián said his goodbyes to his sisters, Sarah and Serena, and returned to the United States to try to track Kristen down.

Aitor began planning the train station reopening ceremony.

Tomás and Victor had a discussion, and the two realised that they both loved Sherman. Victor didn’t want to share Sherman, and they decided that Sherman had to make a decision.

Isabel continued to talk with her mysterious caller who told her to leave Spain. She ended up leaving Madrid and leaving the football team for Tomás, Angelo and Cesc, telling them to split it three ways. She took off for Argentina,  speaking into the phone in Spanish. “Yes. It burns me inside to leave Madrid. I promise I will never tell Angelo that you’re alive.”

Kathryn met with a shadowy figure in Bilbao that may or may not have been the infamous Barb, and the two had a whispery conversation.

Carson approached Sarah and asked her once again to become a vampire. She turned him down. He vanished into the mist of Bilbao where he met up with Brian and asked him how his plan for Amber was going. The two asked themselves who was committing all the vampire murders before disappearing into the mist.

Wendy was seen plotting the death of Ben and Holly to avenge her cousin when another shadowy figure was scene, per the rules “9382 shadowy figures must be seen on a season finale”.  “I understand you have a disease making you go insane that will kill you. I have the way to cure you, help you get revenge, and you live forever.” Wendy looked at her quizzicly. “I can make you a vampire.” 

The camera then revealed the vampire to be María, Angelo and Tomás’ dead sister.

A policeman named Marcos (Mario Casas!!!) introduced himself to Sarah as the new policeman in charge of the vampire murders and asked her if she had any leads from her journalist sources.  Carson watched from afar, smiling, all a part of his plan.

Sarah then called Angelo, and the two agreed to meet the next week with a marriage counselor.

Alex told Jamie he was leaving her once and for all as they would just continue to destroy each other, and he returned to Bilbao. He ran into Kathyrn there, and Kathryn asked him never to tell Jamie about the history the two had shared. He said he would never speak to Jamie again as they were toxic for each other, and he kissed her goodbye.

Later, Kathryn ran into Aitor in Bilbao, which is like totally where everyone who is ANYONE is going this season finale season, and she mentioned his dead wife Stephanie and how she killed herself and Aitor’s children as a part of the cult Amber’s stepfather had started, explaining why Aitor wanted revenge on Amber. “I will destroy her,” he told Kathyrn before the twosome returned to Madrid.

Alex, content with the choices he was making, called Will to announce he was selling his stock to Dawn and Cesc, and decided to look for a job in Bilbao and start over. As he stared out over the river, smiling to himself and the reflection of the moon, four shots fired out. Alex fell into the freezing water below.

Back in Madrid, Heather tried to calm Jack down about his test results. Their mobiles rang at the same time. Heather was called to be informed that Scott’s body had been found next to a suicide note, and Jack was called to be informed his test results were in and he could pick them up after the holidays (seriously Spain WOULD pull something like this).

Cesc went in to talk to his boss who was visiting from New York. Viewers saw him arguing with a vaguely familiar blonde woman who refused to give him any more time off to be with his recovering son and grieving time for the loss of his father. She refused to give him any more time off, and as he left, viewers saw the name plate on her desk. RACHEL SLONE. (Rusty’s sister, Carson’s cousin, not seen in any version of the HCP Inc bible since 1994!!!)

Lucas waited for Alberto to show up. Two hours later, Alberto still hadn’t showed up. He tried calling, but the voice mail said the customer he was trying to reach was no longer in service. Lucas turned the phone off, curled up into a ball and began to cry.

Will and Dawn discussed Kathyrn and their on-again off again on again relationship that was on again. Dawn said she loved Cesc but she was unable to resist Will and the history they had. The two made love. 

Shane asked Serena to help him dig around Aitor and Amber’s place, and Serena realised that the woman he loved was Amber. As she went to ask him, two security guards came up behind them, followed by Aitor. “I’ll deal with this myself privately, thank you,” Aitor said as he took out his gun.

Ashley arrived in Morocco. In queue at customs, two men grabbed her from behind and muffed her screams for help, her American passport falling to the ground. 

Melanie was watching Dawn’s kids with her au pair, Juan. After the kids pretended to be asleep, as Juan began to make out with Melanie, her eldest daughter Monica confided to Dawn’s oldest son, Billy. “I don’t like that man. He makes me play weird games, scary games.  I don’t want to play anymore,” she whispered, tears of fear streaming down her face.

Elton passed a gypsy woman on the street in front of Angelo’s bar, asking for “una ayuda para comer”. He gave her a Euro then entered and began to talk to Angelo. Shortly after, Isidro walked in with Marcos, and the two kissed, revealing that Marcos was gay and Isidro’s boyfriend. Sergio stormed in, looking for his cousin Isidro, and asked Isidro if he could give him some free therapy after Jamie’s escapades. Suddenly a car bomb outside explodes, and as Elton and Angelo race outside to see it, another one explodes as the words “CATALUNYA LLIURE (Catalan for Catalunya libre or Free Catalunya) were spray painted all over the street.

Jamie prepared to board a plane to Barcelona, starting over again too, when her mobile rang and she was informed of Alex’s death. She boarded the plane.

Later, Sarah was called in and given a choice if she wanted the story on the car bombing that killed several people in Madrid or the plane crash on a flight from Madrid destined for Barcelona. She then realised the bomb was next to Angelo’s bar.

Tomás and Victor cornered Sherman. Victor said “You need to choose. We can no longer share you. We both love you, we both want to be with you. Choose one, and the other will walk out of your life right now.” Sherman looked at the both of them and opened his mouth to speak.

Amber began going through some stuff in her home office, ready to go back to work, when she discovered a file Aitor had on her. She opened it and was shocked at all the research he had done on her. Everything in her life was in there. Including….she opened the file that said “the long-lost sister”.

Sarah’s picture fell out.

Kathryn walked around her lofty penthouse in Salamanca (rich barrio in Madrid) after a late night out. The lights went out, and a knife was seen cutting her neck. She tried to scream, but only bleed. She sank to floor and began bleeding profusely.

Across Madrid in Alcobendas (the rich rich rich suburb where Penélope Cruz was born), Cesc prepared Dawn’s 30^th birthday party silently. Dawn walks in. “I need to talk. It’s. Bad.” Cesc walked into the kitchen to see Dawn covered in blood and shaking.

“I’m so sorry.” she began repeating as Cesc held her, trying to see if Dawn was bleeding or where the blood was coming from, covering his own clothes in blood. 

“I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean. I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry.” Dawn sobbed to him.

He looked out to see the sun rising on another beautiful winter day in Madrid.

Year 12 Recap

This is the fictional story of a group of friends from a small town in Michigan who have moved on to Ann Arbor, Los Angeles and now Madrid, Spain. This is the recap of the 12th year of H.C.P. INCORPORATED.


After the explosions at the train station, most people were saved. Sarah was missing, kidnapped by Carson in a shocking twist, but was presumed dead by all. Jessica was presumed dead. Elizabeth died, leaving Matt with her toddler son, Joshie. Lori died giving birth, and her mother took the baby from Elton. Cristina's father died, leaving everything, including the football team, to his new wife, Isabel (mother of Angelo and Tomás). Nick was also killed, and Ben assumed the identity of Nick, fleeing town with Holly.



Six weeks pass.

Victor found out he was HIV positive and went to the Canary Islands to deal. Fearing that Victor had left him, Sherman continued seeing his ex husband Tomás. After Victor returned to Madrid, Sherman and Tomás continued seeing each other due to Victor's distance, although Sherman and Victor dealt with their relationship and Victor´s HIV status in therapy with Isidro, a new therapist. Tomás ended things all together with his footballer boyfriend Joaquín, who later died in a cocaine overdose in the men´s toilet of a gay disco in Madrid.


Alex came out of a post-explosion coma faking that he had amnesia that affected his knowledge of the English language. When Jamie found out that he had been faking and he remembered the fact she had two kids by him (but not that they were hidden at a convent in Italy), she fled to her adoptive mother and real mother, now in a lesbian relationship, in San Sebastián.

 Kathyrn also took off to San Sebastián on the same train as Jamie when she heard a rumour that the man that turned her into a prostitute, Nick, was still alive. She later was informed by Holly the truth, that Nick was dead and Ben was now pretending to be Nick.


After weeks of being Carson´s captive, Sarah escaped as Carson killed herself, only to stumble upon a Basque terrorist group enclave. They ransomed Alex for her freedom, and he paid. She was instantly reunited with Angelo, and the two married in an elaborate marriage in Valencia. Sarah saw her mother, and her mother later wrote a letter to Amber telling Amber that Sarah was her long lost sister, daughter of Sarah's father and Amber's mother. The letter was lost.

Lucas began ex-gay ministry to try to become straight. He befriended and crushed on his leader, Scott.

Jimmy and Ashley came back to Spain with their daughter and began a relationship, much to the chagrin of his brother, Jack, who was dealing with post traumatic stress after the explosion. Jack stopped talking to the both of them, despite the two of them having custody of him after his stay in the mental hospital. In therapy, Jack befriended Wendy, Sherman´s ex-girlfriend who later went crazy and kidnapped him, trying to make him straight. Wendy apologised to Sherman as the therapy seemed to help, revealing her troubled youth that sent her off years ago.

Matt began sleeping with Cristina without the two of them realising who they were. When Cristina found out, she began faking a pregnancy.

Kristen began dating Sarah's 19 year old brother, Sebastian, as his twin sister, Serena, began dating Shane. Sebastian later proposed to Kristen when her health was in danger, and Kristen surprised herself by accepting. Serena decided to return to the States to go to college, leaving Shane to wonder where Amber was.

Amber had visions of vampires and had a breakdown over her husband's death the previous year, saying that she saw him in the form of a vampire. Aitor took her to his beach house near Barcelona and paid therapists to brainwash her to fall in love with him. He later tricked her into marrying him, perhaps drugging her.

Lucas found out his friend from the ex-gay ministry, Scott, was still gay, having threesomes in discos. His wife left him and started a relationship with Jack, which caused Wendy to have another breakdown. Wendy was later revealed to have Hunnington's disease, aka My Mother's Disease, a hereditary disease causing people to go insane.

Lucas began sleeping around until he saw the guy he imagined as his boyfriend the year before, Alberto. He began hanging out with Alberto.

Alex found Jamie, she fled, he found her again in the convent with their kids. He met them, and the two ended things. He started sleeping with Ashley again. Jimmy found out and took their daughter back to the States after patching things up with his brother, Jack. Jamie took up with a 20 year old football player, Sergio.

When Matt found out that Cristina was faking the pregnancy and after his family´s money, he went off on her on a television show she was a guest on. She was later found murdered in the same manner as all the victims of Carson, two bites on the neck and blood drained.

Elton and Melanie went through their divorce. She started seeing her au pair, Juan, and he dated a coworker, Bea.

Dawn and Cesc continued their romance, despite finding out her divorce from Will wasn´t legal. Dawn later found out that due to soap opera law, if she stayed married to him until  November, she would be entitled to half. She refused to sign the papers. Will left Kathryn after finding out about her trail of lies. Dawn also publicly threatened Kathyrn.

Kathryn called upon Sarah to kill Aitor, or she would tell Angelo about her drunken French wedding to Matt the year before, later Dominican Republic divorced. Sarah plotted with Aitor, and Kathyrn later told Angelo, threatening her newfound wedded bliss.

At a Halloween masquerade, Bea was killed and the audience found out the vampires did exist and were named Brian (Amber's deceased husband) and Carson. Both denied killing Cristina and Bea to each other.

Dawn and Will slept together hours before she was soap opera legally entitled to half. He tried to win her back, but she vowed to stay with Cesc.

Alex found out he had a twin brother, but the brother wanted nothing to do with him and his evil lies. Alex decided to change his ways and vowed to get Will´s family´s company back from Aitor, which he had lost to Aitor to repay debt.

Aitor arranged for Sarah for Kristen to be deported on her wedding day to Sebastian. He later slept with Kathryn in anguish, but she reassured him that he was just a toy, and he took off to the States.

Wendy shot Victor in an attempt to kill Sherman and Jack. At the hospital, Victor went through various tests finding out that his HIV test had been wrong and he was negative. After going to several doctors and tests, he found out that he was in fact, negative....

and the positive test belong to Scott, who had passed it onto his wife, Heather, who had slept with Jack unprotected.

Victor then found out about Sherman sleeping with Tomás still.

Aitor´s father tried to get his brother's football team from Isabel by attempting rape, but she killed him in self-defense. She later began receiving mysterious calls.

Shane found Amber married to Aitor just as Serena came back to town.

Kathryn accidentally hit Dawn and Will´s oldest son in a hit-and-run she framed Aitor for. The security had her on camera.

And then the finale happened and THINGS HAPPENED THAT CHANGED THE SHOW FOREVER!
