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.
