Mundo, Wed 1/31 Where bad guys might be turning good...

So we start out with Rog breaking the news to Gab that Joz drugged him (Gab) and it was all planned so she could seduce him.

Otilia gathers together her everyday models & friends for a night-long-sewing-fiesta to replace all the clothes that were stolen.

Gab invites MA over to his place to tell her the awesome news! He didn’t cheat on her; he now knows what happened that night and wants to tell her all about it. She says, “no thanks, don’t wanna hear about your sordid “night” with Joz.“ he stops her so she can’t leave… he tells her he was drugged, Rog just told him, Rog’d been keeping it secret and that’s why he couldn’t remember anything that happened. He seems very relieved and happy… now they can go back to the way it was before all this happened and be together and everything. MA is impactada, drugged? In her confusion she lets him steal a passionate (so to speak) kiss. She stops things, what about the babies? She worries about him abandoning Alex, he shouldn’t trust him to Joz, he says he’ll never abandon his kids. She starts to leave, teary, saying she has to think about it, he tells her to think all she wants but follow what her heart dictates, she leaves…

Dolores remembers her conversation with Karen; how Karen doesn’t believe her willingness to care for her and love her w/o anything in return. Dol, speaking to herself, promises to help Karen learn to love and be a better person. Karen, at the mansion, remembers the conversation, simultaneously. She cries and, speaking to herself, says she doesn’t know if she will give Dol the opportunity to show her love, she is not sure she can trust her.

Joz is perched on the side of her bed looking at a magazine when MA bursts into her room. MA tells Joz she knows everything about how Joz drugged Gab, Joz doesn’t deny it but says, how dare she accuse her of that. MA says there is nothing too low for Joz to do and the worst thing is she feels sorry for Alex. MA says Joz is a threat to her own child. Joz grabs her, pushing her in front of the mirror and says she’s nothing more than a poor nothing of a person dressed-up rich. Miriam hurries in wondering -- what the he!!. MA says she knows Joz drugged Gab to get him into bed with her. Then, coming from a mile away, winding up the whole time, is Joz who slaps MA (who really should have been able to stop that slap or at least duck or something) MA slaps her back, ferociously, Joz looks impactada! MA warns her she’s gonna watch her to make sure she doesn’t hurt Alex. Joz screams, Perra!, at her a few times as MA takes off. Joz is enraged, Mir give her hand signals to calm down.

Rog is telling Gab he’s sorry and admits to being Joz’s accomplice in the drugging (is this bad editing? Isn’t this an extension of the conversation they had earlier when Rog told him about being drugged, aw well, suspension of disbelief kicking into overdrive, or at least getting a shot of adrenaline cuz I think it’s already in overdrive) Gab is impactado. How could you? he asks and adds that he hopes God will forgive him. Rog looks almost regretful (He couldn't be turning to the good side could he???).

Mir & Joz run over the same ol’ dialog – will MA & Gab get back together? And Mir reminds her of the same ol’ thing – Alex is the tie to Gab – Gab will never leave Alex – they deduce that Rog told MA and Gab for revenge for putting him in the big house.

MA is tempted to return to Gab and wonders why she feels maternal toward Joz’s baby.

Joz is calmly looking at her magazine on the couch at the mansion when Gab burst in. He says, how could you do something so contemptible. She says, he lefts her no other choice (WHAT, a confession!!!) they argue about it and he says he and MA are gonna get back together; she says she’ll never allow that. He tells her it’s gonna happen and they are gonna be happy just like they planned all along and she can’t stop it.

At that moment MA comes down the stairs with both boys (Alex and LD). Joz asks what they are dong with her son? Gab says he’s taking them out so they will know they’re brothers. He thanks MA for letting him take LD for a while. MA says she’s sorry she couldn’t go but somebody (and she looks pointedly at Joz) robbed all of Otilias clothes for the fashion show! Gab looks impactado – Joz looks fake impactada. MA goes on to say that Mir is the one who would benefit from such a robbery. Joz tells her she’ll have to talk to Mir about that and then jets (slowly so everyone can see her sway her hips) upstairs.

Pau and JC have just broken the happy news to Dam and Reg about the pregnancy. (I don’t know why they are telling everyone NOW! You’d think after their last pregnancy experience they’d wait for a little while to make sure everything was ok, wait this is a novela, that explains everything of course.) Pau says she’s gonna take care of herself in this pregnancy and hopes the days go by fast. Pau says they’re gong to be happy, happy forever and hugs Dam and Reg… JC sways back and forth in slow motion looking a little sad.

Joz tells Mir that MA is accusing them of having something to do with the robbery – Mir says she can’t prove it. Joz thinks it’s weird that Otilia hasn’t cancelled her participation in the fashion show, Mir says there is no one on earth that can help Otil now! Mir looks forward to being 1st place in the fashion world like always – Joz just wants to see MA ruined.

** Various scenes of Gab playing with the boys. A maid is with him, maybe one of the kids' real mom? Some other lady is there, maybe the daycare/play area director (or the other kids real mom?) She does some weird thing with LD’s legs which looks like physical therapy. Then a bunch of other cute little kids come in and they all play.**

The scene segues into him talking with Nic in the office saying he’s going to raise the boys together, not separate like him and Dam which caused resentment on Dam’s part. Nic agrees it’s a good idea. Nic tells him about Dol finding the remote control detonator in Dam’s home office – he wants the authorities to look into it. Gab wants to know what he suspects Dam of doing (DUH!) but before Nic can tell him Pau and JC come in to give them the happy pregnancy news. Gab is happy.

Dol and Karen meet – Karen is upset because they’re meeting secretly. Dol says she’s her Dad’s sister and would never hurt her – her Dad was a great man. Karen asks/says – then she’s nothing like him… Dol reassures her she’s a good person and if her Dad could have been around she would be more like him.

Rog goes to see Coyote in jail and is pleased with the info Coy has given him. Coy tells him that’s barely any of what his uncle has done. There is a ton more and if Rog brings him more money he’ll give more info. Rog looks very pleased.

Otilia oversees her ladies as they re-sew all the clothes that were stolen – they are finally done and MA, Otil & Candy chat about working all night and they can’t wait for the fashion show.

Mir is in the back checking things out at the fashion show and bumps into Otilia. Otilia says Mir just won’t believe what happened to her! Some dirty stinking rats (I swear Otilia makes this show worth watching) broke into her casa de modas and stole all her clothes for the fashion show! But her and her pals worked like crazy and have an even better set of styles than before – Mir - looks a little sick but wishes her all the luck cuz she's gonna need it. Otilia tells her luck and clients is what she’s drowning in… oooh, take that Mir!

Meanwhile, a man has come to Dam’s house with some paperwork and lets him know that he’s suspected of the attempt on Gabs life and he has to come down to the police station to submit a statement.

Silvestre, dressed in a suit, comes to tell Leo that they’ve won the lotto! (Good grief and a groan, but anyway...) They are both impactados. Silvestre says with that money he can marry Elsa. Leo’s gonna give it to a good cause (ok, I love Leo, sorta, but he's so syrupy that he makes me wanna barf). They run to go find Candy (another thing that makes me wanna barf).

Karen and JC bump into each other at the fashion show. He tells her the good news about the baby saying it’s something for him to cling to. She tells him about her chat w/Dol and that she’s not sure about changing her ways. He tells her to follow her heart and they hug. (Yikes, is Karen changing to a good guy, too? The show must be ending soon then, right?)

Rogelio goes to Tib at the strip-club to do the obvious novela thing, inform him that he’s going to turn him in. He tells Tib that he has to pay him back for everything he took from him. Tib gives him the evil novel-guy routine of: you’re not going to say anything cuz I’ve got too much on you and you’re Dad will take away all your money, evil smirk. He tells him all of that as he’s making out with a stripper. Then, Rog starts his Rog-revenge and tells him, oh, btw, Coyote says hi. Tib stops in mid-makeout and says, Who? He then pushes away the stripper. Tib straightens his hair, carefully not to touch his toupee, and Rog says, yeah, Coyote told me some interesting stuff in the big house, now we’ll see who laughs last. Tib starts hyperventilating.

The fashion show commences. They had a presenter, Hector Sandarti – he introduces the judges for the show, Armando something, Dauria (sp?) Moreno and Luis Ignacio Macias (are these presenters/fashion people in the real world?). He then introduces Mir and Otil who come out onto the stage. He wishes them both luck and the competition officially begins. There are various scenes of the models, Candy and Mayaya strutting their stuff on the catwalk while Leo goes crazy from the sidelines.

Elsa backstage sees someone with a glass of wine and can’t help herself – she grabs a glass and gulps it down. Mayaya catches her and grabs the empty glass. Elsa wipes her mouth as Candy comes around the corner then wipes her hands over her hair – no one will smell it on her now (ugh!) – she gets Candy her next outfit, Candy rushes off (in an elderly lady way) and Mayaya lays into Elsa for drinking. Elsa makes some lame excuse about being tired… then looks guilty. Mayaya warns that she’ll be watching her.

Meanwhile, Dam is at the police station, (sin abogado!), and they quiz him about the remote. He says he only uses it for work at the constructoria, videos and stuff like that, he can prove it – they want to see that proof. He asks who denounced him – and they TELL HIM (!!!) Dol & Nic (Dam gives an evil look). The detectives bring out another denunciation, this one anonymous saying something about the table dance place – I didn’t catch exactly what or if they thought Dam had to do with it.

Back at the fashion show Pau models a high fashion dress.

The police raid the strip club then shut it down – Tib’s impactado.

Dam shows up at the fashion show and tells Reg about Dol and Nic denouncing him – Reg is impactada… (I guess the table dance denunciation doesn’t have anything to do with Dam at this point)

At the strip club, again, Tib is furious they’ve shut the place down. They tell him to let them do their job… they’re posting a notice on the door “Clausuar”

In the big fashion showdown, MA & Joz strut their designs on the cat walk… MA wearing a low plunging v-neckline (if that’s what you can call it) in hot pink and Joz wearing a bustier type dress (not really unusual for her) with a train and stripes. They come out again, this time Joz looks like the Ice Queen in a white fir necklined/Cinderella-like dress (sorry, I’m not a fashionista in the least so I have no idea what these particular types of dresses and accessories are really called) and MA is wearing a more moderate but stylish black/red form fitting dress. Joz gets off the stage, walks past the judges, around the crowd, (who are on their feet just bedazzled over the whole show) grabs Gab and starts kissing him furiously… MA is impactada…

Yeah baby! Sounds like the fashion showdown is the thing to watch this week. Thank goodness for Tivo!! Also, the slap fest between Joz and MA sounds like a Must See as well. Thanks Ruth, great recap!!
 

I liked the scenes of Gabe and the boys at gymboree...I'll bet he was the oldest dad there. If you had your heart set on some animal print clothing this season,,,you are out of luck. Jos seems to have cornered the market on that trend. Also, the Cinderella costume would have been more fittingly worn by MA. Edith must have wrestled that actress to the ground for the outfit. ~~~Susanlynn
 

Great recap, Ruth! Thanks, and I was wondering if I remembered correctly that they excuse to shut down the strip club was a safety violation? It was some sort of violation like that, I thought; probably a bunch of them.

Leo and Sylvestre winning the Lotto? Now we know we're in novelaland..........

P.S. I LOVED the fashion show and the gowns were a hoot! It was a nice change from melodrama max-out. Ruth, your descriptions were on the mark, particularly "the Ice Queen in a white fir necklined/Cinderella-like dress" was great, and I had to laugh thinking of Edith "wrasslin'" with Gaby to get the right to wear it for the scene. --I cannot blame her, either, since that black lace corset thing on the last gown Mariangela wore when the capítulo ended was absolutely hideous, despite the beautiful hot pimento color of the dress itself. It looked like they'd run out of ideas.
