Acorralada #59 4/5/07 – Thursday – Here Comes the Bride. . .NOT!!!!!!

24-hours later, Little Doormat (who actually cleans up quite nicely), still in her wedding gown, continues to flash back to how Lunkhead dumped her in their hotel room after their wedding vows and drank himself into a stupor at the hotel bar. "This is the second time you've made a fool of me! I should have known you were just paying me back for what F/G did to your family! I never should have believed you really loved me!" Gaby dramatically rips off her veil for emphasis and throws it on the ground. Meanwhile, Larry is clutching the bars of the jail faux-crying. "Gaby, Gaby, Gaby. You probably think I stood you up. If only you knew what happened! I love you, Gaby!"

Caramel enters Pancho's hospital room. She is fawning all over him saying how much she loves him. She asks who could have shot him. Pancho tells her he tried to leave the smuggling business and "management" shot him for being a traitor. Caramel is beside herself. She loves him so much! If anything happens to him, she'll simply die! She's going to stay by his side until he recovers! "Caramel, my love. You can't. SHE'S here!" C—"I don't care if she's come to see you. I'm here now." Pancho then breaks the news that it's a little more complicated. He's now married to Peyote. Caramel is impactada!

F/G, Diana, Diego, and Lala are discussing how afraid they are that Peyote and Caramel are going to discover Pancho is married to both of them at the same time. Lala bemoans the fact her son is a bigamist.

Max is asking Granny DS if she would prefer to stay in the tiny apartment or go live with Dianita at the mansion. Granny wants to know if Max will come live with her as well. "Ain't gonna happen," says Max "We'll have to meet at a park." Bruno tells Max she knows this offer is an excuse to see "that little nurse." Max tells Bruno to take a hike. Bruno walks off in a huff. Yolanda thinks the family should stay together, but Max says it's up to Granny DS. Of course Granny DS wants to live happily ever after at Psycho Mansion.

At first Caramel doesn’t understand how Pancho can be married to Peyote, since Caramel and Pancho are still married. "We just separated because we had a fight, we're not divorced." Slowly, Caramel gets it! Once Caramel starts catching on, she becomes unhinged. She calls Pancho a pig and says she hates him. She tells him what he's doing is illegal and he's going to end up in jail. Pancho tries to smooth things over, but there are just some things that can't be smoothed. Being married to two fieras at the same time happens to be one of them. Caramel continues to yell at Pancho until Lala comes in and tries to quiet the fracas. Caramel asks Lala, "You knew he was married to both of us?" Lala is speechless. Her dopey sons have done her "proud" once again!

Diana is suddenly Little Miss Executive and giving orders to Emili-Oh and Beatriz. Diana has gone from being a nurse, a receptionist, and a seamstress, to a VP of a huge manufacturing company overnight. Of course our plucky heroine can leap all the obstacles in a single bound. Just another one of those suspension-of-all-reality plot lines. She's telling Beatriz to bring her some coffee and wanting Emili-Oh to answer all the correspondence. All while maintaining that signature glazed look of hers. Suddenly Camila and Sylvie burst in. Sylvie is in a fuschia 20's flapper-style wig. Camila can't believe the wallflower nurse is now an executive. Neither can I.

F/G and Granny M are discussing the upcoming move to the mansion. Suddenly Gaby bursts into the room in her wedding dress and collapses in a chiffon heap onto the floor.

Insults are exchanged among Camila, Sylvie, and Diana. Camila and Sylvie make fun of Diana. Diana, in response, acts haughty and calls Camila a parasite. I believe Diana offered Camila a job getting coffee and offered Sylvie a job cleaning bathrooms. Camila tries to point out that Diana is trash. Diana reminds Camila that she (Diana) has held a real job and isn't a parasite. She then says something about Sylvie being a stripper for rich old men. Etc. Diana then alludes to Sylvie's baldness and Sylvie runs out crying. Perhaps one of our viewers can expand upon this scene. Camila follows Sylvie out. Emili-Oh apologizes for his sister's and cousin's behavior. Diana tells him not to worry.

The scene in Pancho's hospital room continues. Caramel can't believe Lala has deceived her; after all they've shared! Pobre de Caramel – everyone seems to know about Pancho and Peyote except Caramel. Caramel runs from the room and sees Diego. She asks if he knew all along about Pancho and Peyote's marriage. Diego looks sheepish. Caramel runs out of the hospital. ***So how long until she ends up happily with Jorge, the Bar Stud? One look at Jorge's face and you can tell he loves his boss' daughter.***

F/G and Granny M are trying to revive Gaby. F/G wants to know why Gaby is dressed like a bride. Gaby sobs that she and Larry were supposed to get married in a church, but Larry stood her up! F/G is impactada!

Larry is hooting and hollering in his jail cell. He has rights! He has the right to call his wife! The soundstage is empty except for poor Larry. It sucks to be Larry right about now.

Paco's cell phone is on a beach blanket ringing. Paco runs up to answer with his white shirt billowing in the breeze. It's Diana. She wants to tell him how hard they're working at the factory, and how they are going to be moving into the mansion. Diana mentions F/G has tried to call Paco several times but hasn't been able to reach him. "Those darn cell phones," says Paco. "They're unreliable." ***Now why on earth would Diana call Paco? She has no idea F/G is her mother, so it's not like she's calling someone who could potentially be her step-dad. Paco's just the "friend of a friend." I guess I'm giving this too much thought. I forgot to check reality at the door.*** At any rate, Paco tells Diana he's still working on buying the bar and has decided to stay in Key West for a few more days. He hangs up and who should slither up but Octave. She's looking marvelous in her red bikini. Paco seems to think so as well. Paco asks if she'd like to go for a run with him. Octave declines saying she'd rather read a book. Paco then announces he's going to take a run for a half hour. He is actually jogging in cargo shorts and a buttoned-down gauze shirt.***What's up with that? I've never seen a real jogger wear that get-up!***After Paco leaves, Octave checks his cell phone to make sure F/G hasn't called. She then announced to the camera that Paco is hers. All hers!

Yolanda walks up to Max and wants to talk. Bruno refuses to work around the apartment. Yolanda then points out she doesn't like seeing Max drink so much. Max responds he drinks to ease his pain over Diana. He's lost her forever. Yolanda says "You never know" as Max and Diana's love song plays in the background.

Doc Evil and Andres are drinking their dinner at Paco's. Doc Evil is lamenting that he's going to lose his license to practice medicine because of that maldita. Andres looks up and there is Marfil in the doorway. He sidles up to her and makes some comment that I couldn't quite understand. I'm sure it wasn't important. Marfil can't believe Andres made her come to a place such as this. Andres walks off and Marfil heads to the bar. She is stopped by Doc Evil. "What's a beautiful, respectable woman, such as yourself, doing in a place like this?" M—"I could ask you the same thing!"

Diana walks up to Diego, who is in the hospital waiting room. She asks how Pancho is doing. After some small talk, Diana mentions that Granny DS is coming to live with them at the mansion. Diego calls her a hypocrite. He knows the only reason Diana wants Granny DS to live with them is so she can see Max. Diana, of course, denies it. We then have the typical jealous exchange between these two before Diana walks off. ***I failed to mention this before, but from behind, Diana's blue and black dress looks like a bathrobe. Could this be the robe she bought at the mall before Maxito was born?***

Pobre de Larry is still in his jail cell. There's not another soul in this Miami jail. The only noise is coming from Larry. I didn't realize Miami was so safe and free of criminals. Larry is babbling that Gaby probably thinks he stood her up. Suddenly a casting extra shows up to tell Larry he has a visitor. It's Pilar. Pilar and Larry get into a fight over Gaby again and Pilar storms off, refusing to bail him out of jail.

At the Little House in the Hood, F/G (who is wearing a satin version of Diana's black and blue bathrobe, except F/G's dress has capped sleeves like a bridesmaid's dress) is telling Diana that Gaby got left at the altar. F/G continues to spew venom and fire up Diana about those pesky Irascibles. Diana says she's going to bathe and feed the baby, then counsel The Little Doormat.

Marfil and Doc Evil are whining about Diana. Marfil suggests that Diana should disappear. Doc Evil seems to like this idea.

Gaby is still crying on Granny M's shoulder. "Larry made a fool of me! He was so sincere!" Granny M runs off to get a pill to calm Gaby's nerves. Pilar comes barging in and tells Gaby (in front of F/G and Diana) that it was all a set up. Larry purposely left her at the altar. While Gaby was at the church, Larry was with Pilar making love to her at her apartment!

Marfil and Doc Evil decide to join forces and hatch a plan to kidnap Diana. Doc Evil balks at first. Marfil asks him if he's scared. "I'm not scared, it's just that I have enough problems with the drug-stealing allegations. I'd rather not add kidnapping to the list." Marfil points out she has two accomplices, Isabel and Andres. Doc Evil apparently has forgotten about Andres. "Great idea! Andres would sell his soul to the devil for a few bucks!" points out Doc Evil.

Pilar is raving on and on about Larry's prowess and how much of a fool Gaby is. Gaby is inconsolable. Finally F/G tells Pilar to get out. Pilar makes a crack about F/G being an ex-con. F/G calls Pilar "nasty" and throws her out the door. Gaby just stands there and sobs.

Larry is sitting on his bunk bed in the empty jail cell. In the empty jail, for that matter. His shirt is unbuttoned half-way and his tie is loosened. All he can do is shake his handsome head and utter, "Gaby. . .Gaby!"

The kidnapping plot is developing. Marfil knows of a deserted beach way off the beaten path. Diana will be alone and no one will ever find her. Doc Evil thinks Marfil is brilliant! Sign him up!

F/G is still going on and on about the evil Irascibles and warning Diana not to fall into their traps. Diana tells F/G not to worry. The doorbell rings. F/G is off to console Caramel. Lala is dropping of Diego. Once Lala leaves, Diego ominously tells Diana they need to talk!

Andres lets himself into Isabel's darkened apartment. He calls out but there is no answer. He goes to the back bedroom but Debora is gone! He tries calling his aunt's cell phone but there is no answer. Where is everyone?

Marfil walks into Emili-Oh's apartment as Max is leaving. He tells her he needs fresh air. They have the usual fight in which she wants to save their marriage and Max says there's nothing to save. He loves Diana. Finally he leaves and Marfil is left standing there in her perky polka-dot top, with glycerin tears of true dolor rolling down her cheeks.

Typical fight between Diana and Diego. He's accusing Diana of having Granny DS move in so she can see Max. She's denying it. He tells her he's starting to hate her. Diana says "Marfil is filling your head with poison. My motives are pure and noble!" Diego—"You’re anything but pure and noble!"

Marfil and Bruno are in one of Emili-Oh's bedrooms. Bruno says she overhead the discussion between Max and Marfil. Marfil reiterates that Max is still stuck on that little nurse, but Diana is never going to win. Bruno wants to know what Marfil plans to do about it. Marfil replies that tomorrow she's going to kidnap Diana!

Credits roll.

***Now why on earth would Diana call Paco? She has no idea F/G is her mother, so it's not like she's calling someone who could potentially be her step-dad. Paco's just the "friend of a friend." I guess I'm giving this too much thought. I forgot to check reality at the door.***

Karen, I went through the same train of thought. Same with Diana's new executive status.
 

Love the new kidnapping plot. Kidnapping is an all-purpose problem solver in this show. What are they going to do ask for ransom? I don't think they've thought that far ahead.
 

The plan seems to be to let Debora and Diana live out the rest of their natural lives in some totally desolate place "off the beaten trail"...A place that just happens to get cell phone service! I have problems getting cell phone service even when I'm in the middle of town. Go figure!
 

Thanks for the recap! =)
