Acorralada #45 Monday 3/19/07 Diana's baby is born!

Today's episode opens to the hospital scene where Diana tells Max to leave the room. Diego is unusually calm as he tells Max that he heard her, don't let the door hit you... Diana moans as another contraction starts and both Diego and Granny look concerned.

At Paco's bar, Gaby wants to know why Jorge called the baby F/G's nieto... F/G looks nervous as she claims that she doesn't know. Jorge makes some lame excuse and Paco says that F/G is too young and beautiful to be a grandma. *Whew! That was close!* Caramelo reminds them that they shouldn't waste time - they need to get to the hospital.

We return to Octavia's bedroom, where she's still wearing her disco queen pantsuit as she holds an ice pack to her forehead because her head is about to explode. O wants to know why Max is at the hospital with Diana, which is what FM wants to know. FM can't wait for Max to get home because he's got some 'splaining to do.

Isabella calls "Detective Ortiz" from Houston. Apparently being Marfil's personal assistant agrees with her - she's wearing a lovely purple dress that only needs one safety pin to keep it respectable. She's calling to check on the status of Diana Soriano. She gets Diana's address and promises to pass the information on to Sra. Marfil, and confirms that Max is still with the woman who's pretending to be Marfil. And then - the moment we've all been waiting for - real Marfil walks in! Isabella says that she's surprised every time she sees her. She's made a complete recovery! Marfil says that it took months of constant work. Now she's the same Marfil as before and she's ready to battle her twin!

Pancho and Max are at it again... Pancho's telling Max to go, Max is calling Pancho an imbecil. Ya basta!

It's time for Diana to push! Diego is holding her hand, Granny keeps touching the sides of her head like she's not sure what to do with her hands. Let's go, Diana! Push!

Back to Houston, where Isabelle tells Marfil what she's learned from Detective Ortiz. Diana is having the baby today, and they're not sure who the father is. Marfil tells Isabelle that she must get to Miami to stop her zorra of a sister. She has a plan to get revenge! *Now she sounds like F/G! * She's not going to just walk into the mansion and scream that she's the real Marfil, she has bigger plans than that. Her sister is going to jail, and not for stealing her identity - for stealing Diana's baby! Isabelle looks perplexed.

Diana's just about to deliver the baby when F/G and the crew arrive.

Max arrives home to be greeted by the chihuahua on crack. He thinks it's interesting that she has informants in the hospital, and tries to walk away from the crazy woman, but she grabs his arm and brings him back so she can screech in his face for a few. But he's not interested in what she has to say.

Real Marfil is sharing her evil plan with Isabelle. For months her sister has passed for her, and now she will pass for her sister! She'll kill two birds with one stone. Isabelle is impressed by her plan. *Does anyone notice that Isabelle has become a more feminine version of Bruna?* A little while after her sister is convicted, she will return as the real Marfil. Then she will be free to win back her husband's love.

The baby is born! A boy, of course. Diego has a sincere smile on his face - let's see how long it lasts! Granny runs out to tell F/G and the crew that the baby has arrived!

F/G can't believe that she has a grandson! She can't believe the how excited she is. Paco tells her that very soon her daughters will know that she is their mother. They'll be a real family!

Isabelle and real Marfil are about to board a plane for Miami. We're saved by the commercial break.

Dr. Evil is ready to leave the hospital, but he doesn't need a ride. Perfect, because Andres is waiting for a call from his wife. Marfil calls Andres and tells him to wait for him at Isabelle's apartment.

Diego is at Diana's bedside and it appears that his good mood is already fading. He's thought bubbling about how much he loves Diana, and how much jealousy he has that the child is not his. He would rather see her dead than back with Max! Enter Gaby and F/G, and instantly his mood is lifted. He tells them that she just fell asleep.

Disco music thumps as we return to the pool at psycho mansion, where Max is swimming laps. Luscious Larry walks up with his half tucked shirt and mentions that he didn't know that Max was home. Max is just swimming to try to forget about Marfil's hysterical greeting.

Dr. Evil opens his front door and almost trips over a pile of suitcases. On the sofa, Camila and Sylvia are sleeping off their hangover and jump up to yell surprise to greet him. Camila is wearing a red spandex halter and matching spandex pants. *If the outfit was blue and white, I'd swear that she borrowed it from one of the Dallas cowboy cheerleaders!* Since Emilio threw them out, and Ignacio has so much room, they thought they'd stay with him. After a heated debate, Ignacio agrees that they can stay for one night.

In Diana's hospital room, Caramelo tells her that when she sees Diana with her baby boy, it makes her want to have one with Pancho. *Caramelo, sweetie. Get a clue, already! Pancho's a playboy!* Diana says that she's so happy to have her son in her arms, and Diego's brooding as he thinks about evil Max. Diana offers to let him hold the baby (who apparently has not yet been named), but he declines, saying the baby is too small. Diana sulks, but quickly recovers as she passes the baby to F/G.

Diego wheels himself out the hallway to complain to his brother that he couldn't be in the room with Max's son for another minute. *What a weenie!*

We return to the pool where we get a nice look at Max's chest as Larry tells him not to get upset about the baby. Max doesn't know how he can do that.

FM is pacing and waiting for Bruna to arrive with the $5,000 she needs to pay off Andres, but the bank was closed! She stands in the middle of the living room shrieking that Max can't find out that she's not the real Marfil. Bruna tells her to go see Andres ***I'm not sure what she's telling FM to do here. Did anyone catch this?***

Meanwhile, the real Marfil and Isabelle have returned to Isabelle's apartment. Marfil will stay there a few days, no more. Now they're off to the hospital to steal Diana's baby!

F/G is at Diana's bedside when Gaby arrives. Sappy moment about how happy Diana is. Violins play in the background.

At psycho mansion, Max is surprised that FM is leaving so late at night. Marfil gives one of her typical snotty responses, to Yolanda's surprise. Max tells Yolanda that his marriage is dead.

Gaby tells Paco and Diego that she has to leave because she needs to work in the morning. She's not going to wait for Pancho or Granny, she can take the bus. Paco convinces her to take his car, he and F/G will take a taxi. As Gaby walks down the hallway, fidgeting with her dress because it almost shows some cleavage, Andres sees her and begins to follow her.

Back in Diana's room, Paco tells F/G that Gaby took the car. F/G says they should leave so that Diana can get some rest.

In the hospital garage, spooky music tells us that something muy malo is about to happen to sweet little Gaby. As she puts the key in the lock, Andres, who is sporting a ski mask again, grabs her from behind! She screams, but cannot get away from him! Break to commercial.

Diana and baby are sleeping peacefully when real Marfil sneaks into their room. She finally gets to meet the famous Diana and her bastard son.

Gaby is struggling with Andres, who removes her glasses and tries to kiss and grind up against her. They fall to the floor.

Real Marfil is holding the baby and telling him to say goodbye to his mother forever. Diana wakes just as they reach the door. Marfil freezes.

Gaby manages to get out of the clutches of Andres, then kicks him in the arm and runs off. *Isn't it funny how easy it is for this big, strong guy to get beat up by petite women?* He chases after her and punches her in the stomach and pulls her hair.

Diana asks Marfil what she's doing in her room, and why she has her son. Marfil says she's leaving with him, she's stealing him because Diana stole her husband. Diana screams and cries, but does not push that handy little button that will call a nurse.

F/G, Paco, and Diego hear Diana's cries and see Marfil running with the baby. F/G chases after Marfil as Paco and Diego go to Diana's room to calm her. Marfil is running down the steps with F/G hot on her heels.

Gaby and Andres are still struggling, but she manages to get away and makes it to the car and drive away.

Marfil is still running but loses her nerve and leaves the baby on the steps. F/G is there to save the day! Diana's doctor is trying to calm Diana when F/G walks in with the baby in her arms. F/G and Paco leave, and Max says that he is sure the Irazabals are behind the attempted kidnapping.

Larry and Max are having a little drinky in the living room and chatting with tia Yolanda when FM returns looking all out of sorts. Yolanda mentions that she looked nervous, which Max dismisses. He says she's nervous and strange.

FM is shrieking to Bruna that Andres didnt' show and she's afraid that he's going to expose her.

Poor Gaby's back home, and she's a mess. Her hair's disheveled and her dress is torn to shreds. She's crying so hard I can't understand a word she's saying. She's clawing at herself and coughing and looking like she's going to vomit as she turns on the shower.

Isabelle and real Marfil are back at Isabelle's apartment. Real Marfil is upset that her kidnapping attempt wasn't successful, but at least everyone saw her try. Isabelle admits that she was nervous.

Diana wants to keep the baby in her room, but the doctor refuses. She's weepy as she hands the baby over to the nurse. Diego is there to hold her hand and comfort her.

When Granny arrives at home, she finds Gaby curled up in a fetal position on the sofa, but she doesn't notice as she raves about the new baby. She hopes that the baby will bring much happiness... finally she notices that something's wrong with Gaby and asks her if she's okay. Gaby says it's nothing, so Granny continues to gush about the new baby. Finally Gaby tells her that she was violated at the hospital.

Diana is telling Diego that she's afraid Marfil will come back, but Diego promises her that he'll be there all night with her.

FM joins Yolanda, Larry, and Max in the living room to wait for dinner to be served. The doorbell rings and F/G storms in with an entourage of policemen following her. She accuses FM of trying to steal Diana's baby. Cut to commercial.

We return to the sala, where FM denies any involvement, but Paco says they were all there and they saw her. We're treated to some serious FM shrieking now. Bruna is trying to say there must be some confusion, but F/G is having none of it. Octavia hears Paco's voice and thought bubbles "that man. It's him! It's Paco, Paco..."

Meanwhile, Diana is resting peacefully while Diego thinks bitter thoughts about Max.

As FM is about to be arrested, her shrieks reach a pitch that can only be decibals away from a range that can only be heard by dogs. Bruna is begging Max to do something, but he's not falling for it. F/G is rambling about how they're not going to lie to her, as Octavia watches from afar, wondering why Paco is there in her living room with her worst enemy! F/G tells them all that this is the beginning of the end for the Irazabals!

Larry is confused and Bruna is beside herself with grief over her nina Marfil. Max is unresponsive.

Credits roll.

Thanks for the recap, Amy. I pressed the wrong button and erased this episode before watching it, when I was meaning to erase Friday. More TIVO problems for Team Acorralada.

Anyway, what a lot happened again. Interesting that now RM chose her moment to make her reentrance. And as a kidnapper too. She is throwing away all her good behavior points. And a gratuitous attack on Gaby too. That made no sense.
 

Did anyone else notice that during the scene with RM and Isabel the sign read "Regency Hotel Miami" even though they were supposed to be in Houston??? So funny!!

-Mia
 

Interesting how easily Isabel become accomplice to a crime. Then again, she's Andres' aunt. Does anyone remember - didn't she used to be a nurse and lost her license for some reason?

I agree about the scene with Gaby...strictly gratuitous violence. And another chance to wear that ski mask. Did Diana see that Diego's attacker was wearing a ski mask?
 

I think when Diana only saw Andrés from behind as he was running back to the car, so she might not have realized it was a ski mask. But she's a Dimwit, she might not have notice he was wearing a hat.
 

Maybe Isabelle lost her license cuz maybe she too turned down Doc Evil.

Max is unresponsive.

And then there was something in the Friday recap about Diana's bland blandishments.

Aye, aye, aye! I don't know if there's been two enamoradas that have been less interesting than these two.

Say what you will about the chihuahua. At least she's a conversation piece... pun marginally intended. :)
 

Ha ha! Chihuahua on crack...good one!
 

Thanks for the recap! =)
