More folks from Harmony arrived in Rome and they're all starting to bump into each other. They've also discovered that many of the people, places and things that they see are marked with the omega symbol. Simone, Paloma and Jessica escaped from the thugs who took them to the nightclub full of omega tattooed dancers and even managed to snag a corner of a painting from them (with the symbol). Even though Noah left them safe and sound in their hotel room, Spike is hot on the girls' trail. Chad and Luis caught several glimpses of Beth and Marty before she made it to a hiding spot and changed her hair color so she could spy on them (for an accomplice). Beth has gone into full psycho mode now that she heard a waiter say erroneously that Luis and Fancy are in love. Ethan and Theresa arrived and this may be her lucky break because the tabloid editor, J.T. Cornell (hiding under an alias) is also there and she might be able to get him to spill the truth to Ethan about who sent the story of his paternity. Chad heard Whitney in the catacombs, but she told him that if they even lay eyes on each other, she will lose her life. The monk spied on the group as Luis, Ethan, Fancy, Theresa, and Noah met together and realized that they were all brought there for a reason by somebody. Now they just need to figure out why and who is behind it all. Back in Harmony, Endora kept magically pushing Miguel and Siren closer while Kay got ever more jealous of the "fishy missy." Chris gave Sheridan a beautiful book of paintings and at least one of then had the symbol and Chris has a secret-he has a piece of paper with the omega symbol on it and hopes Sheridan will understand.
