Caray, Caray!

Before we start, I have to ask a question that has been bugging me for a while and I keep forgetting to ask. Susanlynn – why do you always post under ‘Anonymous’ and then just put your name on the end? Get an ID! I am to the point now where I know it’s you just from reading your comment, before seeing your name, but I think it’s time! Sign up, be assimilated! One of us! One of us!

Ok on to the show. Emiliooo is slightly impactado to hear from Gaspar that Thelma was at the Devil’s Cave.

Blanca can’t believe that Alina is cooped up at Edelmira’s place. She says it’s a crime. Great insight there Blanca. Alina complains again about how bad this has all been for her and her mother. Blanca says she knows. Elias is tied up with the construction but Luba told Blanca where to find Alina. She tries to walk out with her, but Edelmira stops them. Blanca says that she is Alina’s godmother, but Edelmira doesn’t care. Alina then, since she’s a friggin genius, actually takes Edelmira’s side of the argument and tells Blancato leave. Blanca says she’ll leave, but she’ll be back to look for her. She says it won’t be good for Edelmira, Edelmira couldn’t care less. Blanca gives her one last dirty look and then leaves. Before she is even gone, Edelmira grabs Alina and says they are going to get this settled at once, steering her out of the room and into the office. One of the other girls looks on with concern but doesn’t say anything. I think it was concern, it may have just been “what is that girl’s problem?”

Santos and his sister/mom talk in his shack. She wants him to marry Rosita and get out of town. He says no, he’s making too much money working on the highway. Mom wants him as far away from Max as possible. Santos looks like he agrees, but maybe that was just pain from all the cuts and bruises on his face.

Edelmira flashes her long claw fingernails at Alina and tells her how it is. Alina says that she won’t let Edelmira talk to her that way. Edelmira slaps her across the face. Edelmira puts a claw up to her face and says that next time she’ll mark up her pretty face. With those claws I believe it. Plus, Edelmira isn’t really so pretty so she’s probably jealous and would enjoy clawing up some hottie.

Luba is waiting outside the meson, waiting for Blanca. She looks quite agitated, apparently it has been a while since she enjoyed some of her ‘calming herbs.’ Blanca comes out and Luba says she wanted to go in with her, but Blanca says not to worry. She’ll get Alina out. “How?” says Luba. Blanca says she’s going to go notify the authorities. Then she starts making excuses for not doing something before, she was in Canada, etc. The agree that Don Loco is muy loco. As you would expect, that is a short conversation. “He’s completely nuts!” “Agreed.” Blanca swears that she’ll save Alina, Luba smiles at that and says the virgin will be with Blanca.

Coral and the fabulous Granillo try to console Alina after her fight with the boss. They both tell her to cooperate and go with the flow. I suspect that Granillo is pretending to be sympathetic but will report back to the Wicked Witch what the others say. Coral says they need to keep their eyes open for the first chance to get Alina out of here. I guess Coral can come and go as she pleases but Alina is effectively on lockdown. What is it with everyone keeping people locked up? Everywhere, the biggest thing is to get in or out of some place. Are we supposed to believe that there is no way for Alina to just walk out the door? Alina says she’ll go along if the others think that is the best plan. Granillo starts talking about how wonderful he’s going to make her look. He even knocks Coral off the bed in the process of talking with his hands.

Mexico City – time for the Marianita/Jose double feature. Mariana tells Dr. Love that she wants to talk about ‘us.’ He is happy about that, but rather than letting her talk, he rambles on, ending with how much he wants to marry her. She wants time to think about it, basically telling him “I’ll say yes, but not yet.” He says fine. Marianita tells the singing boy that her mom and Dr. Love are going to be together. They cook up a plan to write a letter to her mom and pretend it’s from the Dr.

The lead military guy, whatever he’s called, is interrogating Jose. The guy is the same actor who was the accountant on La Fea at the beginning who got fired. I can’t remember his name. Somebody leave it in the comments and I’ll edit it in. Thanks. Anyway, he has a pouch of money that he found in Jose’s things, is it money that those guys paid him? Jose sticks to his getting lost story. Ah the bag wasn’t full of money, it was full of the gold that Jose and Arcadio found a long time ago. The sergeant (Jose finally called him that) told him that if he said what group he was with, the military will let him go back to Mexico. The sergeant tells him to think about it and leaves the room, leaving the gold where Jose can see it, to make him think.

There is a commercial for Destilando Amor, I can’t get over how funny the guy who played Cesar looks with his Village People moustache. It’s hilarious.

Elias comes home to his shack but can’t find Blanca. He finds Soledad’s hanky on the table and gives it a big creepy sniff. Not just a “oh her perfume” sniff, more like a pervert stealing panties kind of sniff. He really gets it up his nose. Blanca walks in and Elias asks her what the deal is with the hanky. She says she asks him the same thing! He said something like he didn’t realize he had it in his pocket, or who knows what. He looked guilty about it, that’s for sure. I used to think Blanca’s concern was silly, now Elias is acting in a way where he deserves the questions. Blanca starts to hammer him on the topic again now, he starts in with his usual “Oh for the love of God give it a rest” defense. He stomps out to go back to work. Blanca says after he leaves, “No Elias, I won’t give you any more problems, I’ll just do what I have to do, then I won’t bother you any more.”

Edelmira tells Don Loc about Blanca’s visit to her meson, she is worried about Blanca going to the authorities. Don Loco tells her not to worry, Blanca won’t do anything. He will stop her. He tells her to get back and make sure Alina doesn’t escape, and to keep a close eye on who gets close to her.

Blanca goes back to her room at the hacienda and packs her suitcase. Don Loco walks in and asks if she is leaving. She says yes, she can’t stand what he is doing to his daughter. “I don’t have a daughter.” Blanca says yes he does, Alina is his daughter, and look what he is doing to her. She is going to go find help and to free Alina and Soledad. Don Loco tells her she has committed a grave error, and errors pay dearly. Ominous music plays as he leaves the room. He shuts the door and we hear locks turning. Blanca pounds the door and says “Open up! You can’t do this!” Really Blanca? Where the hell have you been? This is the ONLY thing he DOES do. He locks people up. It is his hobby, his passion.

Gaspar tells the story of how he hit the skins with his munequita at the Devil’s Cave to Emilioooo. He never had another woman and later his munequita became Emiliooooo’s wife. Emilioooo repeats it back to him and asks if that is what he really means to say. Gaspar says “Uh yeah you dumbass that’s what I just told you.” Not really, but yes Gaspar confirms. He describes the red dress. Emiliooo gets mad and asks “What was she doing in that place?” Gaspar doesn’t know, cripes, he just saw opportunity and he took it. Come on, Emiliooo! Get with the program! Luba walks in and breaks it up. Luba tells Emiliooo that Gaspar is sick in the head and makes stuff up. Emiliooo says ok whatever, don’t come back to the house and bother Thelma. Luba tells Emiliooo “With all due respect, don’t yell in my house!” Emiliooo yells anyway, he tells Gaspar that his guards will have orders to shoot Gaspar if they see him around the house or Thelma again. He pushes Luba out of his way to leave. What a gentleman. Luba gives Gaspar quite a tongue-lashing after Emiliooo leaves, she is tired of hearing about this stupid munequita. Gaspar tries to argue, “But….” Luba yells “But WHAT?” Gaspar doesn’t say anything.

Back to Mexico City – Mariana tells Marianita to get ready, Dr. Love is coming over for dinner. Marianita gets the fake letter out of her bag and leaves it by her mom’s purse. Mom opens it and reads it. “To Marianita’s mom – I’m the doctor and I love you and I want to be Marinaita’s dad.” She sees of course that it is a fake. “Ah, Marianita!” She smiles, touched at what the girl did.

No Jose scene. They are throwing curveballs here! This is where Jose is supposed to be! HelllloooOOOOOO!

Rosita’s mom tells Santos that Rosita isn’t home. Castulo comes in and says that he saw Rosita with Max. Santos is impactado. Castulo says she’s smart, she knows that Max can make her a rich woman. Santos storms out to go talk to her, Castulo smirks. Rosita’s mom yells at Castulo, Rosita would only talk to Max about work, not whatever crap you have in your head!

Oh here’s Jose. A couple guys are surrounding him with guns drawn and pointed at him. They aren’t wearing uniforms. They are from the rebel camp, they came to cut him loose before he tells the military guys anything. They shoot the chain to free him and the run away. The army follows and shoots, they kill one of the other guys. Well, he looks as good as dead anyway. He starts yelling in pain so Jose drags him behind a tree. The army runs to the bottom of the hill, “Do you see anything?” They stand around like idiots. This is a horrible army. Jose was behind some plants RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM and they decided to run off and look somewhere else. Cripes. Jose has his hand over the other guy’s mouth to keep him quiet. The guy yells that he is going to die, Jose says no, he’s taking him to the camp where the others can cure him. Jose you idiot, run! Screw this guy! Get out of there! I have to point out again that Jose can’t be more than 5 years older than Alina, his supposed illegitimate daughter. Jose can’t be more than 30 years old.

Dr. Love tells Mariana that Marianita is responding very well to her treatment. He begs for the chance to make Mariana happy. She starts to argue but they start kissing. He tells her he loves her, again. He stands up and swears that she will be the happiest woman on earth and he leaves. Mariana immediately asks Jose for forgiveness. What? I thought she had settled that in her mind. Also, Jose didn’t seem to feel quite that guilty after nailing the rebel hoochie.

Emilioooo is throwing things around Thelma’s room, out of her closet. He stops and has a mental playback of Gaspar describing the red dress. He starts digging around some more. Thelma comes in and demands to know what he is doing. He says he’s looking for a red dress, do you have one like that? She looks guilty. Didn’t the dress get thrown out though, and someone else pulled it out of the garbage? I don’t remember. I guess we’ll find out after the commercial. Ok – she claims that she doesn’t have any red dress. Emilooo tells her his conversation with Gaspar. She pretends to not know who he is. They argue about it a bit more before Emiliooo says Gaspar must have confused her with someone else. After he leaves, Thelma seethes. She may be evil, but she sure is sexy. Even when seething.

Soledad complains to Adela that she doesn’t know anything about Alina. As Adela leaves, Don Loco enters. He’s glad to see her eating. Soledad asks if he brought Alina. Don Loco says no, now she lives in a place she can’t leave. Soledad says she’ll feel better and calm down if she can see Alina. Don Loco says fine, you’ll see her tonight, better she see with her own eyes.

Coral tells Alina that she looks really pretty. Alina asks Coral to please call her Flor, she doesn’t want to use her name Alina in this place. Granillo says whatever, she’s still a super hottie and it will be tough to keep all the drunks off of her. Coral agrees.

On the construction site, Orlando asks Emiliooo what’s wrong. “Ah, you fought with your wife again.” He says yeah, something stupid. Orlando is sure it’s about Alina, but Emiliooo says no. Orlando doesn’t give up on that idea, he finally says he’ll take Emiliooo somewhere where he won’t think about Alina at all. Well of course that will be to Edelmira’s place for Alina’s grand debut. Not very well hidden, this future plot event.

Thelma sneaks into Singing Aunt’s room and kicks her bed to wake her up. Thelma demands to know what happened to the red dress. SA said she threw it away. Thelma tells her about Emiliooo’s visit and makes her go find the dress. “But I threw it away, I remember very well!” SA insists. Thelma won’t hear it and sends her out to find it.

Rosita talks to her father, he says something about having air in his chest. I’m sure this is some precursor to him dropping dead later. He wants Rosita and Santos to move away from this troubled place, but he won’t go with, this is his place and he’s old. Rosita says she won’t leave him.

SA buttonholes Rosita’s mom, who answers “Si, Senora?” to which SA replies, “Senorita!” Singing Aunt asks her what happens with the garbage. Someone picks it up every third day and takes it far away. “Are you sure it is far away?” “Yes, why, did you lose something valuable?” SA says no, no, of course not. She was just curious. She feels much better now that she knows where the garbage goes. She sings her way out of the kitchen. Rosita’s mom says “She must have been looking for the red dress.” Hey – notice how these things are red? Red dress, La Bolsa Roja from La Fea? Red is a popular plot device color.

Rosita’s dad says he’ll be fine alone. Rosita doesn’t agree, then Santos shows up and says that she has to come to church with him, they have to get married right now! Rosita doesn’t look thrilled at this, just confused.

A great shot of the moon, signifying night time. Edelmira announces to the crowd that it is a special night. Emiliooo and Orlando walk in during her announcement. She announces the debut of Flor Del Campo! The crowd cheers and whistles, Emilioooo is impactado, of course. Alina gets pushed to the stage, where she stands looking confused and biting her bottom lip. Emiliooo asks what she is doing here, Orlando says you heard, this is a new feature! The men in the room start yelling “How much for her, Edelmira!” Jeremias walks up and takes Flor’s arm, announcing that he already bought her. Emiliooo runs up and tells him to let her go. Jeremias whines that it isn’t fair. Edelmira tells Emiliooo to get to her office, they have to talk. Emiliooo tells Alina to come with him, she tells him to get lost, he’s as bad as the creeps in this place. He grabs her arm and follows Edelmira with her. Coral is on some stairs, watching with Orlando. Orlando mocks Emiliooo (not very hard to do) but Coral says that Emiliooo loves Alina. Orlando says “Ah yes, but here I am single, with the same money as him.” Coral rolls her eyes.

Santos has turned into a complete and total idiot. Rosita wants to wait to get married, she always dreamed of a white dress, “Santos, go with your mom to get away from Max, when I have everything ready I’ll call you and you can come back, we’ll get married.” Santos says that she just wants him away so she can see someone else. She can’t believe it, of course. He says they have to get out of this town, she says she has to take care of her father. He accuses her of using that as a false pretext. He says Castulo told him, she was with Max. She of course says it is ridiculous, but he says they should break up and she says “Whatever you want.” He says adios and stomps out. He went from getting married to breaking up in less than one minute. On his way out, he says “And that is forever.” She cries, obviously.

Emiliooo takes Alina to her room. I guess they weren’t following Edelmira. Edelmira must have thought that Emiliooo was buying her, he is supposed to go see her in the office to pay afterwards. Alina tells Emiliooo that she isn’t for sale, especially for him. He says he’s having to pay for her anyway. She slaps him. He says that again she misjudged him, he is going to pay for her so he can get her out of here. She looks a little sorry, but not much. He says but as usual she doesn’t understand anything, or does she just prefer it here? She slaps him again. He says for each slap, he’s going to kiss her. So of course, she slaps him again and they make out, ending up on the bed. She starts to push his jacket off (What? What a slut!) but Emiliooo stops and says this isn’t the time or the place. He says “See you soon” and leaves the room.

Jose carries the guy who got shot into a cabin. I guess he knew his way back to their camp. Let me point out again how crappy that army was, that they couldn’t find the same guy they shot after he had been moved ten feet away. Jacinto is the injured guy’s name. He doesn’t want Jose to leave him alone, but Jose has to find help. Jacinto is the boss, I just realized. He tells Jose that he didn’t save him for himself, he did it for his sister. Jacinto wants Jose to promise that he won’t leave his sister. Jose says that Jacinto knows very well that he has a family in Mexico. Jacinto says he has a family here too, his sister is expecting his child! Jose is super duper impactado. Also let me say here that I am so glad that my wife and I don’t conceive babies every time we are within two feet of each other like the characters on these shows. These novela men are blessed with super sperm and the women ovulate 28 times a month. It is amazing.

Mariana tells Malena all about her hot makeout session with Dr. Love. She liked the kissing, but she feels guilty, etc. Whatever. Malena agrees with me, whatever. Malena tells her to get busy with Dr. Love already and get on with it. Mariana agrees, it is time to forget about Jose.

Blanca is STILL pounding on the door. It must be hours later. She finally has an idea and finds something hard to break a window pane.

Nurse Susi tells Angel he can’t go to the cave. Angel says her declaration of love is just a pretext to keep him here safe. She says it isn’t, but anyway Alina doesn’t love him. Angel immediately starts feeling sorry for himself as he agrees with her. “Who would believe in me?” What a whiner. Susi says there are many women who could love him, but Angel says he isn’t interested in other women. Listen, I know you ladies reading get all weak in the knees for poor sensitive Angel, but he’s an idiot. What a fool. “No I love this woman that my brother has been treating like dirt and who has told me directly that she doesn’t love me, yeah, I think this will work, forget the sexy nurse who wants to keep my bed warm.” You hear me ladies? IDIOT. He asks Susi to leave so he can sleep, she and her awesomely tight pants leave the room. Angel immediately gets out of bed and paces.

Blanca is sitting on the bed with a cut on her hand, Adela says she’ll get something to fix her up. She apparently escapes about as well as Soledad. Blanca says thanks, but what she really wants is to get out of this place. Adela says let me fix you up first, but I have to lock you in, boss’s orders. Blanca asks, “And where is that infeliz?” Adela says he left with Soledad, but doesn’t know to where.

Santos’s mom is telling Santos, nicely, that he really screwed up and he’s an idiot for what he did with Rosita. He finally says that he doesn’t know what to do with Max going after Rosita, since Max is his own father. He doesn’t know what to do. Buddy here’s what you DON’T do – go accuse your woman of getting it on with another guy. That won’t sort out your daddy issues. Santos says they need to leave tomorrow because if they don’t get out right away, he’s going to have to confront his father.

Rosita’s dad tries to calm her down. She shows us her great cleavage while she explains that Santos wanted to get married right away, but she wanted the wedding she has dreamed of, and she didn’t want to leave her father. Dad says that’s the way it is, kids grow up and leave. Rosita cries that she loves Santos and can’t live without him.

Emiliooo says he wants to get Alina out, but apparently having drinks at Edelmira’s is the place to plan it. He tells Orlando that he wants to get her out and that Don Loco is crazy. Granillo tells Emiliooo that Edelmira is waiting for him, will he come with? Granillo then gives Orlando a dirty look, Orlando just shrugs and downs his drink. Orlando wishes Emiliooo luck and takes off, Emiliooo follows the fabulous Granillo. Ha ha ha Granillo puts his arm out like a man would for a woman, Emiliooo looks at him like he’s crazy and they walk to the back.

Sexy nurse Susi is crying in her coffee in the kitchen with Rosita’s mom. She explains how Angel is obsessed with Alina but Alina doesn’t love him. Rosita’s mom says “But you do love him, right?” Susi says yes, but it’s like she doesn’t even exist to him. She’s just the nurse. Susi sobs. She tells Susi that Alina loves Emiliooo, who is married to Thelma…

Thelma says she is going to fight like a fury to defend her marriage. Singing Aunt says it looks difficult for her, Emiliooo only has eyes for Flor. SA says Alina is really pretty, Thelma says “What? I’m not?” SA says yes of course. Thelma says if she can’t have him, nobody can. SA says “Are you thinking of killing him?” She says that the same way she would say “Are you thinking of getting something to eat?” like it was nothing. Thelma says no, but she is capable of anything, even killing. SA is impactada, her mouth hangs open.

Granillo is waving his little fan around to make SURE we all understand he’s gay. We get it. He tells Alina, “You are still in love with that Captain, aren’t you!” She says of course not, she hates him. Granillo isn’t buying it. He tells her to get outside, show the Captain that she’s happy without him. She says yes, she’ll show him that with all his money he still can’t buy her. Granillo loves it.

Edelmira tells Emiliooo that if he offers a good price for Alina, great, if not, she’ll go with Jeremias. Emiliooo hands a huge wad of bills to her and she says “I thought we understand each other.” Emiliooo says surely the other guy didn’t offer more, Edelmira says yes, a little bit more. She says if Emiliooo’s offer is serious, he can come back tomorrow with more money. He says fine. He demands that she doesn’t go with anyone else before he brings the rest of the money. She says ok. After he leaves she laughs about how she can’t sell Alina to anyone but keeps getting money for her anyway!

Out in the hallway Emiliooo runs into Coral. He says he’ll take her home, but she says she isn’t going to stay there any more and thanks so much for the hospitality. Coral says she has finally realized she’ll never have Emiliooo, so it’s better for her if she leaves. He starts to say something but Coral tells him he doesn’t have to explain, she knows he loves Flor. She promises to take care of Flor. Emiliooo is grateful. As he leaves, Coral’s face drops and she tries not to cry.

Don Loco arrives, dragging Soledad with him with his hand under her armpit. Nobody would mistake this for her coming willingly. As they enter, some guy tips his hat at Soledad, Don Loco immediately grabs the guy and throws him to the side. It was pretty funny. He says, “Don’t you want to see your daughter? There she is.” Across the room Alina sees them and wants to go help her mom but Graniloo stops her. Soledad says she has to go get her daughter out of here but Don Loco tells her no. Soledad slaps Don Loco in slow motion. Alina is impactada. Don Loco slaps her back, knocking her down to the ground. Alina breaks away from the fabulous Granillo to run to her mother, everything still in slow motion.

Monday, another deal with the devil. Orlando offers to help Alina in exchange for her hand in marriage. Doesn’t he know that sort of thing will get him shot?
