Caray, Caray!

"I hope you won't make my brother suffer. Don't you dare Diana, because if you do, I swear I'll kill you."

We begin today's episode with these menacing words from our favorite stolen jewelry ring leader, Pancholon. Diana promises to take good care of Diego and reassures Lala.

Then the scene changes to an irate Octavia who is stolling along a pier with her less-intimidating sister Yolanda. They are discussing their most recent encounter with Fedora/Gaviota. Octavia reprimands Yolanda for being "una estupida" in reference to her immense fear of F/G. Yolanda fears F/G's revenge and wonders what she has in store for Max and Larry for having humiliated Diana and Gabby (aka Little Doormat). To which Octavia responds that Gaviota thinks of Gaby and Diana as her daughters that she lost long ago. Y then asks Octavia what she did with Gaviota's daughters, Octavia sent them to live with a "crazy old lady". She even goes as far as to hypothesize they may have died. Wishful thinking my dear Octavia, wishful thinking. If only she knew how close those two girls are.

Sad music infiltrates the background as we switch to a pensive Gaviota, wondering where and to whom Octavia gave her daughters away to. She revels in the possibility that Diana and Gaby might be hers, but she also comtemplates the possibility she may never reunite with her precious daughters.

Now we're in Diego's room where Diana walks in. He's quite optimistic he'll walk one day and is looking forward to his future with Diana and "his" baby. Diana remarks she'd prefer to have a boy, because in her opinion women suffer too much in life, and she tells Diego she even has a name picked out: Maximilliano. To this fact Diego reacts quiite poorly and spirals into a hissy fit. "Why must it be his name?! Can't we name him Diego?" Quite narcissistic if you ask me.
She then launches into a diatribe about how naming her son Max, he will suffer doubts about his paternity and her revenge will be underway.

Diana then runs out to the yard, Diego screaming after her, and D explains her plans to a curious Lala. Lala goes to console her son and he threatens that his love for Diana may easily turn into hatred toward her and her child.

A woman is lifting what can't be heavier than 5 pound weights from a wheelchair. Who may she be? If you guessed "The Real Marfil," you guessed right. She contemplates the moment she can expose her evil sister Deborah and the moment she recuperates her Max. Then her assitant lady walks in the door and has good news, they have tickets to Houston.

Next were in the Irazabal living room where Fake Marfil complains to Octavia about how Max would not have sex with her. Bruna the servant, chimes in she always advised Octavia to "correr" (kick out) Diana. (Since when does the hired help in novelas speak without permission?)
Oct. FM and Bruna complain about how horrible Diana and Gaby are, but Yolanda comes to their defense saying "their not all that bad." FM threatens Yolanda if she tells Max Diana is pregnant.

Pancholon snuck into Paola's house like Spiderman and launches into make-out mode. Paola remarks how Octave wants her to marry that dude Rene. Pancho says her cannot stop thinking about Diana, "She's a bad woman" he says. Paola says she does not seem so bad. Pancho declares his loyalty to Paola, claiming he has no memory of a "Caramelo"

In F/G's dressing room Caramelo discusses Diana's situation. She feels bad for her and is happy her Pancholon would "never cheat on her" and that he has "eyes only for her." Poor, poor naive Caramelito.

In Diego's room Diana watches him and trys to get him to eat. He expresses his great fear of losing her, and she asks him to have faith in her. She promises not to hurt him.

Back at Real Marfil's place Bruna is shocked that RM is gone. Bruna is visibly worried.

Back at Diana's place Fake Marfil arrives to cause trouble. She warns Diana to stay away from Max. FM wants to have a little vis-a-vis with Diego to warn him of Diana's questionable nature.
Diana defiantly yanks her across the room and tells her "Vete!" As FM moves to find Diego's "recamara" the new defiant Diana grabs a sharp pair of scissors and jabs them, stopping only inches from FM's neck. Defiant Diana is successful in repeling FM. Hooray!

Cut scene to good-for-nothing playboy Larry scantily clad laying next to the pool at the mansion. I just wonder why he cannot get a real job... He is on the phone. Apparently his depression is over and he's free to film more commercials. Oh joy >.> The world was just in desperate need of his grandiose acting skills!!! Not. Lala brings Sylvita, the nutcase that likes dressing up in wigs to the pool ,where she drools over Larry. And begs him to let her suntan with him.

Next we see Diana talking on the phone with Max, where she quite unconvincingly proclaim she loves Diego more than she ever loved Max. Cut to commercial break.

Now were in FM's room where she is hysteric after her encounter with Diana, only to find out Real Marfil has escaped.

Next more of Sylvita's comedic antics. She feared the sharks and pirahnas that lurk in the Irazabal pool.

Max proclaims his definitive goodbye to Diana and FM is still hysteric about RM's escape to Houston. And she tell Bruna she'll kill RM before she exposes her as a fake.

Sylvita and her cousin are in their apartment and she is sad her love-job with Estrella Cosmica didn't work.

FM enters Max's room and she takes advantage of him to rip his shirt open and ask "Do you love me?" only to realize he was asleep all along.

Now we see a shot saying "Meses Despues" (Months later) It seems we're near the birth of Diana and Max's baby.

Diana's belly his huge and her grandma warns her against overexerting herself. Diana admits to grandma that the months have not dulled her feelings of love for Max.

Octavia meets with Dr. Reynosa and tells him she wants to avoid him ridiculing himself by defending Fedora Garces, the grand ex-convict. Then the scene cuts to Diana having a heartfelt chat with granny. Diana tells granny she loves Max just as much as she did the very first day.
Granny had a feeling she did. Diana restates her conviction to staying beside her stalkerish husband Diego. Diana contemplates that Max may have forgetten her and fallen in love with Marfil again.

Yolanda and Max watch over an ailing granny (Max's granny) and Y leaves for help.
Max comforts his granny and she moans "Dianita....el bebe" but Max does not seem to pay her babbling any mind. Dr. Reynosa resolves to clear Gaviota's name and promises to return to F/G her belongings, those being the Irazabal mansion, their fortune, and Fedora's perfume company.
Dr. Evil groans at the idea of having to treat Dona Santa, as he had plans to lift some iron at a gym.

The "Good" doctor arrives at the mansion. FM tells Bruna she'd rather go shopping than to watch "the antique" keel over. Paola, Larry, Max and Yolanda watch over Santa. Deborah aka Fake Marfil tells the lowly chauffer (sp?) to move the doctor's car out of the driveway. Andres recognizes FM as Deborah and the credits roll.


This is my first recap. I hope I did a good job and I can only hope to improve my recap-writing skills in the future.
