"Monster-in-Law"
Carmen takes aim to keep Michelle out of the Santos family album -- 5/11/99

Michelle's short-lived marriage to Danny may be over,* but their attraction continues -- much to the dismay of Danny's mother, Carmen, who remains hellbent on keeping the girl out of the family.

Not With My Son, You Don't! ... Rare is the mother who thinks that her daughter-in-law is good enough for her son. But crime-family matriarch Carmen Santos went even further than that: She hated Danny's bride so much that she threatened to kill her. That didn't come to pass, but Carmen did do everything short of murder that was within her power to make life miserable for Michelle. Finally, she orchestrated a call in Michelle's name to the FBI -- which led to Danny no longer trusting his bride, which in turn led to the downfall of their marriage. But now the lingering attraction between the ex-couple could make reality Carmen's worst nightmare -- a reunion! Happy Mother's Day!

* Note: Just some more of that "they're-married-'they're-not" mumbo jumbo that TPTB were pulling.
