Caray, Caray!

Jeremias, who apparently is perma-drunk, tries to get a little action off of Alina in Jose’s cabin. Alina shows that she is completely incapable of defending herself, even from a drunk old man. You would think a couple years of living in the wilderness would have toughened her up a bit, but no. Finally a miraculously non-coughing Angel bursts in and pulls Jeremias off of her. Angel tells Jer to leave her alone, Jer replies (in a suddenly very sober voice) “Who’s going to stop me, YOU?” They grapple and Angel shows that he is a complete wuss too, Jeremias throws him down and he lays there in a lump. Alina tries to run to Angel to see how he is, but Jeremias, who apparently hides the strength of the Incredible Hulk inside his baggy clothes, grabs her. Conveniently, Emilioooo barges in the room and throws Jeremias over the bed and onto the floor. These Valtierras sure know how to show up at just the right time. Poor Angel is about to be embarrassed by lying on the floor like a rag doll while Emilioooo gets to be the hero. No, wait, Angel shouldn’t even be here, he is a whiny idiot for carrying a torch for Alina, so he deserves it. Jeremias stumbles out of the cabin. Emilioooo tries to wake up Angel, who is out cold from simply falling to the floor, so Emilioooo picks him up and carries him out, telling Alina to close the door. How did this cabin stay so clean with nobody there to take care of it? Especially since a guy lived there before, what guy do you know who decorates his whole place in white?

Emiliooo enters Angel’s room with Angel in his arms, he calls for Sexy Nurse Suzi to get some alcohol. After Emiliooo lays Angel down on the bed Sexy Nurse Suzi waves a cotton ball under his nose to wake him up, the first thing he says is “Alina.” For crying out loud Angel give it a rest. Also, Sexy Nurse Suzi’s outfit warrants mention, as it is white and tight, but that’s what she always wears so I don’t know that I have to mention it every time. I notice it every time. Emilioooo says not to worry about her. Angel tells Emiliooo to take care of her, Emilioooo says he will, but Angel needs to stay and rest. Emiliooo tells Sexy Nurse Suzi to not let him get up, SNS says she’ll be by his side all night. And now, Angel coughs. He whines that he can’t help Alina. SNS tells him basically to shut up and rest. So far the only people we have seen today are people I hate. Even Sexy Nurse Suzi, for being so dumb to fall in love with a wuss like Angel who hasn’t given her any reason to like him.

Mexico City – Mariana, Marianita, and Dr. Love (wearing his hand puppet) are sitting on the girl’s bed watching a magician on TV. I guess it is some kind of star search program, because after the magician the announcer introduces a great new talent – Juanito the singing bald boy! Juanito says that the song is dedicated to Marianita, he hopes she feels better soon so they can play. Marianita is very pleased by this and her mom teases her about it. Dr. Love just does some creepy talking to his puppet thing. Juanito starts to sing a song, while his voice isn’t perfect, he certainly is not timid and sings his heart out. Nice work by singing boy.

Part two of our away from Sierra Esondida double feature finds Jose telling some guy named Claudio the he promised Felicia that he would stay until the baby is born. I think the guy is Claudio, but then later he calls him Felipe, I’m really confused. Anyway, the other guy tells Jose that most guys would just bail, especially if they have another family waiting for them. Jose says he’s going back anyway, hopefully he’ll convince Felicia to go legit and be somewhere that he can send money. This guy has no idea how the world works. He thinks he’s going to go back to Mariana and “Oh I have another kid and I’m going to send them money, but let’s pick up where we left off.” Yeah right.

Whoa, left turn, we are back in Mexico City. Mariana begs Dr. Love to tell her that her daughter will live. Dr. Love thought bubbles “How can I tell her that her daughter is terminal?” Mariana demands to know why he isn’t answering. He tells her that he is doing all he can, she has to have faith! She hugs him and begs him to save her.

Elias comes home to his shack. He puts his keys up, leans on something to think, then finally notices Blanca laying on the floor dead. She is laying like she is in a coffin already, her legs straight and her arms at her side. Do people look like that after dropping dead of a heart attack, or whatever it was that killed her? I don’t think so. Elias is MUY impactado. In fact, they did a slow motion impactado effect on the moment, so I thought we were going to commercial. That’s how impactado he was, he was going into commercial impactado, we all know that is the worst kind. No commercial though, he snaps out of it and runs to see if she’s ok. The actor who plays Elias does a great job here of being upset at the death, he cries and screams her name, it’s very convincing.

Don Loco shakes a pill out of a bottle, Soledad says she doesn’t want it. Speaking of Soledad, are they making her look hotter as the show progresses? At the beginning I didn’t think that much of her, but week by week they seem to be making her up better, you have all mentioned her nice hair, she is wearing more flattering clothes, is all this leading up to her grand liberation and her (I’m sure now) eventual hook-up with Elias? Anyway, she says she doesn’t want the pill, she doesn’t want to just be asleep all the time. Finally she says fine and takes it. Don Loco leaves and Soledad takes the pill out of her mouth. Did anyone not see that coming?

We get a closeup view of Thelma walking away, nice, she and Orlando are walking outside the house. He is wearing his uniform. He says Thelma should be happy now that she got rid of Coral, right? Thelma says not really, Emiliooo just played with her, it is Alina that is really causing problems. She says that Emilioooo is crazy in love with her, all his hate is really just love. Orlando says yeah whatever, Emiliooo never loved anybody. Thelma says he didn’t before, but now he does.

Don Max is showing Emiliooo some of the fields, he says this is the most productive area, etc etc. Farm talk. Don Loco rides up. Don Loco tells Emiliooo that he heard about him taking Alina out of Elmira’s place. Emiliooo says basically “Yeah so what?” and Don Loco pulls a gun on him. Emilioooo must be thinking “WTF with this guy pulling a gun on me all the time?” so he’s too stunned to say anything. Don Loco doesn’t have a very steady hand, the gun is waving all over the place. Don Max begs him to put the gun away. They yell at each other, Don Loco accuses Max of being a traitor but Max points out that Emiliooo is his nephew. Emiliooo tells Don Loco to shove it, he’ll keep helping Alina. Emiliooo turns and rides away. Ha haha there are some women right behind them, working along as if nothing happened. I would think a potential gunfight would get their attention.

Nora models the red dress for Vera (is that her name? I get the kitchen ladies all mixed up). Vera tells her she looks awesome, which in fact she does. Nora has managed to pull of the look of being hot but still innocent looking. Vera tells her that Thelma threw away the dress but she got it out of the garbage because it is like new, so she shouldn’t tell Thelma that she (Nora) bought it from her (Vera). Is that how you get somebody to buy something? “Oh, I found it in the garbage.” Nora really does look great, everyone has been dressing hacienda style for so long, seeing a hot girl in a nice dress really stands out. Nora gives Vera some money and tells her that if anyone throws out any more dresses like this, sell them to her! She wants to look nice for Gaspar, she really likes him.

Don Loco barges into the cave and demands that Luba tell him where Alina is. Luba just invites him to sit. He demands to know where Alina is. Luba says, “Uh, didn’t you take her to Edelmira’s meson?” Don Loco has his riding crop up to her neck, so she is stammering a bit. He grabs her by the collar and says that surely Alina looked for Luba when she escaped, where is she? Gaspar runs in and tells Don Loco to let her go. I expected him to punch Don Loco in the face, but instead they all just look at each other.

Thelma feels her belly, which still looks like it always did and not pregnant at all. She is crying about maldito Gaspar getting her pregnant. Emilioooo comes in and she tries to act normal. She says she’s fine, she can’t wait to have his baby, can you imagine his little body? Emiliooo says yeah about that, he was thinking it would be better if…. Thelma cuts him off and says yeah she has been thinking too, she doesn’t think it would be good for the baby to be born in the sierra. Emilioooo says why, lots of babies are born here without any problem. Thelma insists that the baby will be strange, nobody can take care of it, the people here are all weird…. Emiliooo says they are not weird, just different. Thelma says whatever, she wants to go back to Puebla.

Don Loco continues to interrogate Luba, somehow Gaspar has resisted the urge to tear Loco’s head off. Don Loco pulls a gun on Gaspar, Luba runs to stand in front of him, telling Don Loc that Gaspar doesn’t know what he is doing. She tells Gaspar that Don Loco just wants to know where Alina is but she already told him that she doesn’t know. She then turns and begs Don Loco to put the gun away. He yells at her to shut up. “I’ll tell you this – if I find out that you are lying to me, things will be very bad for you and your son. Teach him to show respect.” Don Loco leaves. Luba tells Gaspar to go into Alina’s ‘room’ and stay there all day. Then she says that she needs to tell Alina that Don Loco is looking for her. She throws a quick prayer to the Virgin on her way out.

Don Loco arrives back at the house and tells Sergio that he needs to leave again in a minute. What, does he just need to run in and go pee or what? Sergio asks if he should go with him, Don Loc says yes, they need to go to see Emiliooo. Just then Orlando rides up and says he knows where they have taken Alina.

Superfly Nora enters the cave and Gaspar, from behind the sheet dividing the rooms of the cave, says “is that you Nora?” She says yes, he tells her to leave, he can’t come out, he’s hiding. She says from who, there is nobody here, so come out! He says no, he’s scared. She says she wants him to see how pretty she looks for him. Remember, she’s wearing Thelma’s old red dress from when Gaspar knocked her up. Finally he agrees to come out. She hides in the other part of the cave. He finds her and sees the dress and immediately starts questioning her about the dress. “That’s the dress my munequita wore at the Devil’s Cave!” Nora tells him that he ruined everything. She says the dress was from Thelma, Emiliooo’s wife. First Sergio threw her in the water, now this, no wonder Thelma threw it away, it’s bad luck. Gaspar says “My munequita threw it away?” Nora says she knows Gaspar liked his munequita but get over it already. She storms out. This is proof of how Gaspar really is ‘affected.’ Most guys would have been perfectly happy with Hottie Nora showing up in some slinky dress, looking for action. Gaspar actually strings a few thoughts together here, he figures out that it was Thelma indeed at the Devil’s Cave, he’s going to ask Emiliooo to give her to him, he still owes Gaspar a reward. He hops out of the cave.

Luba is telling Alina that she has to stay there and be well hidden. She tells about how Don Loco came to the cave, etc. Luba thinks DL won’t come to Jose’s cabin, he hates that place. “You remember that story, right?” Alina says yes. Uh yeah I think she knows that story, seeing as how that’s what got all this started in the first place. Luba tells her to hide good, if DL finds Alina he’ll kill her. Alina looks a little red, perhaps during this part of filming she was out with Pablo Montero frolicking on the beach or something?

Don Loco and Orlando ride through the forest, but Don Loco pulls up. He doesn’t like to come near Jose’s cabin. He tells Orlando that this is where Flor’s father lived. Orlando offers to get her himself but Don Loco says he’ll get her himself and take her back to the house.

Luba is begging Alina to just hide. But stupid Alina keeps whining about wanting to do something to help her mother. Luba rolls her eyes and tells her that she can’t do anything so just hide. I hate Alina now. I hate her. She has just gotten so stupid, I don’t care what happens to her. Whatever. Luba says she’ll send Gaspar later and makes stupid Alina promise to be careful. Stupid Alina promises, so of course that means she won’t. I have decided that from now on her name is Stupid Alina.

Thelma is hen-pecking Emliooo to death. She is desperate to go back to Puebla. He says he has business to finish and Angel can’t travel anyway. She says those are just pretexts to stay around near Alina.

Elias has put a pillow under Blanca’s head and covered her with a blanket on the couch. Some other guy is there, a doctor maybe, who says there aren’t any signs of injury, she died of natural causes. Is death by freaking out a natural cause? Elias feels guilty, the guy says no, just a heart attack. Elias says he can’t go on without her, the guy says yes you can, you have to finish the highway for the people who live here. Wow guy, way to give a pep talk. Elias just cries some more.

Emiliooo thought bubbles that Thelma is crazy if she thinks that he will leave this place. He looks out the window and sees Gaspar snooping around.

Stupid Alina says she is going nuts, she has to see how her mom is doing. She tells Donkey to come and she sneaks out of the cabin.

Emiliooo meets Gaspar by pointing a gun at him. “Didn’t I tell you not to come around here any more?” Gaspar says yes, he isn’t supposed to bother Thelma, but this time he came to see Emilioooo. He wants his reward, his munequita. Emiliooo can’t believe they are having the same conversation again, then Gaspar mentions that this munequita kissed him. Emiliooo decides to teach Thelma a lesson. He’s going to take Gaspar to Thelma’s room and Gaspar will tell her that he knows where her red dress is. To Emiliooo of course it’s a joke, but Gaspar really does know where the dress is. If Nora will speak to him again, that is. Emilioooo and Gaspar share a laugh.

Don Loco barges in to the cabin and sees that Alina escaped. He looks at the bed and sees Soledad and Jose getting busy there. He throws the bed over. Everywhere he looks he sees Soledad and Jose, he starts trashing the place.

Emiliooo comes to Thelma’s room and she wants to know if he changed his mind. No, he hasn’t, but he has a surprise, he brings Gaspar into the room. He immediately starts in with his “munequita” stuff and Thelma starts freaking out. Gaspar sits and Emiliooo tells Thelma what Gaspar told him. Thelma denies it. Emiliooo says he’s going to leave Gaspar there to talk, see he’s behaving well, see ya. Thelma can’t believe it. Gaspar is excited because they are alone, Thelma demands to know what he wants. He’s worried now that she’s mad, she just shakes her head, I think she has a headache coming on.

Nora is in tears, talking to one of the other kitchen ladies, I can’t remember their names. She is crying and crying about how Gaspar wouldn’t stop talking about his f#&%$ing munequita for one minute, she’s going to go to her room and never wear that dress again. Oh this is Adela. Cripes I need to watch more than once a week so I can remember some of these people. I didn’t recognize Adela outside of Soledad’s room. Right after Nora leaves, Stupid Alina and Donkey walk up. She sure isn’t hiding very well, just walking around in broad daylight. She wants to know how her mother is doing. Adela says not so great. Stupid Alina wants to go see her but Sergio is guarding the door, Adela says she’ll try to distract him.

Thelma gets down on her knees and tries to explain to Gaspar that she isn’t who he thinks she is. Of course Gaspar tells her she’s lying. He says he knows she had the red dress but threw it out. Thelma tries to cover but of course this shakes her up a bit. She wants him to tell her all she knows. She’s trying to be nice to him now, to get him to talk.

Adela tells Sergio that Gaspar hurt Nora’s feelings, now would be a good time to try and get closer to her, try and be nice. Sergio jumps at the chance. Adela says, “you’re going to leave your post here?” Sergio isn’t worried, Don Loco left to go look for Alina, nobody will know.” He runs off and Adela motions for Stupid Alina to enter. As usual, they spend an hour talking to each other and saying thank you instead of her just running straight into the house. Finally Stupid Alina goes in.

Luba is beggin the virgin to not let anything happen to either Gaspar or Alina, she didn’t specify. Orlando enters, Luba greets him rudely. Orlando came to gloat that he knows where Stupid Alina is and that Don Loco has gone to get her. Luba is impactada. He says he has to leave but she tells him to wait. She gives him some jar with some stuff in it and tells him to leave. Is she his drug dealer and we never saw that part, or what?

Stupid Alina busts into Soledad’s room, Soledad is sporting a huge bruise. Stupid Alina actually says something sensible, so I will temporarily refer to her as just Alina again. She says it’s time to go, not back to the cave or Edelmira’s or whatever, just time to go. Right now, let’s go. Now THAT makes sense. Finally.

Gaspar finishes his story of how Vera sold the dress to Nora. Thelma curses Vera, “she’s always digging in the garbage!” Gaspar wants to know why she lied to Emiliooo about who the father of her baby is. Thelma is actually kind of honest here, she says she wants the baby to have the best of everything, that’s why she married Emiliooo and told him the baby was his. She left out the part where SHE wants the best of everything too. Thelma says finally, “what do you want? For me to live with you in a cave? No way.” She continues with her bit on the baby having the best of everything. Gaspar says yes, he wants her to live with him. She then plays a mean trick on him. She tells him that after the baby is born she will go with Gaspar forever, because of course she is just concerned for the baby. But he has to keep their love a secret until then, and if Emiliooo suspects that the baby is Gaspar’s, he’ll kill it! That woman is tricky. He says he’ll be mute. She says ok, great, now get out. He wants some kisses first, she finally breaks down and gives him a little sugar. She’s not very happy about it, but otherwise he won’t believe her silly plan.

Emilioooo goes back to his room to find Angel waiting on news of Alina. Emiliooo tells him not to worry about it. Haven’t we heard this about 100 times? Emiliooo takes Angel back to his room.

Alina continues to tell Soledad that they need to just leave. Soledad is being a wet blanket and is worried about the risk. Alina again says whatever, let’s blow this popsicle stand. Oooops the door opens and Don Loco walks in. I’m guessing Sergio has a whipping coming to him too. The women take turns insisting that the other one didn’t do anything, trying to protect each other. Don Loco smacks Soledad down to the floor and Alina screams and drops down to help her. There are some pills on the floor, Don Loco says “You are tricking me with the pills too?” He lifts Soledad up by her hair, Alina tries to stop him but he pushes her back into the room and locks her in as he leaves with Soledad.

Angel the wuss won’t stop asking about Alina. He is worried that Don Loco will find her. Emiliooo, who thinks he is so smart, says “No, he won’t find her there.” Angel wants to go make sure she’s safe, but Emiliooo says no. Yawn. This is lame. Emiliooo says he’ll go check with Luba to make sure Alina is safe. What? Whatever. He leaves to go talk with Thelma.

Singing Aunt makes an appearance. Thelma complains about Gaspar. She is worried that Gaspar will require kisses to keep his mouth shut. She then blames SA for the whole red dress thing. She decides that she herself has to kill Gaspar.

Emiliooo sees Gaspar hopping through the hall and wants to know why he’s so happy. I’m sure that Gaspar couldn’t keep a secret, but Luba shows up right then and says that they (she and Gaspar) need to go look for Flor. Don Loco went to the cabin to look for her and now she’s not there, surely he took her. Boy keeping straight what people know for real and what they think they know is getting confusing. Emiliooo says Don Loco won’t do anything, he’s going to go get Alina from him right now.

Alina pounds on the door screaming for help. She looks a little like Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz in this outfit sometimes. Adela is on the other side but says the door is locked. Alina tells her to go find Emiliooo, but Adela says Don Loco would kill her. Alina says just do it.

Emiliooo and Orlando meet each other halfway between the two haciendas on horseback. Orlando thinks he is nuts to go see Don Loco, “He almost killed you last time, remember?” Emiliooo says he has to go see him and tells Orlando to come with him, calling him ‘amigo.’ If he only knew. Actually how doesn’t he know what a snake Orlando is? Oh yeah, he’s a complete idiot.

Gaspar is just grinning like an idiot, Luba wants to know what’s up. Gaspar says he can’t say. She says he’s the son of a demon and pushes him out of the house.

Don Loco says Soledad should be proud about all the times she put one over on him. He breaks up a pill into a drink for her and says they are going to have a toast to all the times she looked at his stupid face after tricking him. He drinks but she doesn’t just yet.

Some other highway guy tells Elias that he can have a few days to go back to Puebla and arrange the funeral but Elias says no, he wants to bury her here, he doesn’t want to be away from her. If he takes her back there he’ll want to stay and won’t come back. The guy asks if he wants to tell her family but Elias says that he is the only family she had. The guy wants to know when the funeral is so that everyone working on the highway can go.

Soledad still hasn’t taken her drink and they engage in some verbal sparring before Donkey comes in. While he is chasing the dog out, she switches drinks. Then, when Don Loco comes back, she happily drinks while Don Loco glugs down the drugged drink.

Well what have we here – Thelma and Castulo are basking in the afterglow of another roll in the hay. Even though they just had sex, she starts yelling at him for not killing Gaspar when he was supposed to. She takes Castulo’s gun and puts it into her pants pocket and says she’ll take care of it herself this time. Castulo didn’t see her take the gun, so he warns her that Gaspar is a giant, he could hurt her with just one hand. She says “We’ll see.”

Don Loco starts feeling funny and passes out on the couch. He wakes up for a second and tells Soledad that she’ll be sorry.
