Caray, Caray!

Haa Orlando’s little problem was funnier than I imagined. It looked like he was having trouble taking a dump, rather than the ‘other’ problem. I especially like when he spits all over the mirror. And drinking. Yeah, nothing gets the soldier to salute quite like booze.

Donkey goes nuts barking, his psychic bond with Duhlina is telling him something is wrong. Thelma tells Vera some crap about Orlando being a nice handsome guy for Alina and insinuating that Alina is all over that plan. Vera runs off to do something and Thelma comments how she is so easily manipulated. She tries to play with Donkey but Donkey kind of resists her. Thelma lets Donkey loose, he runs off.

Alfonsina and her amazing body try to get out of her locked room. Wardrobe did a great job with her dress today, a very skin tight red dress. She sees Elias out the window and wonders who she is. She figures out that he is here to see Soledad.

Vera is in the kitchen and hears donkey barking, she leaves a teapot there when she runs outside. Thelma runs in and washes the pot to cover the evidence of drugging Alina.

Alfonsina pieces together that Elias is the ‘other man.’

Rosita tries to comfort Hottie Mom, Braulio comes home and has found nothing when searching for Santos. He remembers something about Santos going by the highway construction, he leaves again to go look there. Hottie Mom is not encouraged, she has a feeling that something very bad has happened.

Santos and crazy fake wig and beard doctor try and figure out who Santos really is.

Alfonsina and her excellent dress talk to Vera, Vera tells her that Don Loco is with Mariana and the doctor. Alfonsina looks forward to telling Don Loco that Soledad is cheating on him yet again.

The doctor says that Mariana should be getting proper care and therapy, though otherwise she’s doing well. Don Loco refuses. When they leave, Soledad encourages Mariana, saying she’ll get all better, and that Dr. Love sure does love her a lot. Mariana smiles a little bit. I guess she can smile, but not talk? She has that special localized paralysis of the tongue.

Singing Aunt is in a carriage with Emilioooo and a very coughing coughing Angel, wrapped up in a blanket. Emilioooo wants to know what is taking so long, SA says she was buying baby clothes, etc. She never got the telegram that Emiliooo was returning. Anyway, they finally get moving along to La Rinconada.

Gasca opens his eyes to see feet coming into his room. It’s Alfonsina, she climbs up onto the bed. Gasca asks her when did she get here? Alfonsina doesn’t answer, she just pulls out a huge knife and stabs him in the chest. He screams awake, it was a dream. He wonders if Alfonsina is really capable of that, of being a traitor to him.

Orlando sits on the bed, limp and flaccid, and whines about not getting it up. He finally realizes that the booze doesn’t help and curses his bottle. He realizes that he can’t get it up because he knows that she really loves Emilioooo, something like that, he decides that if he can’t have nobody can, he pulls out a knife. He puts it in her hand, like she is going to cut herself, then starts to push the blade into her opposite wrist, moving eexxttrraaaaaaa slloooooooowwwwwwwllllyyyy……………

Another great commercial today, for Hanes. A roomful of nice-bodied babes dancing around in their underwear. I love this channel.

Of course, by going so slowly, Orlando is interrupted by a knock at the door.

Angel feels like he is dying. Well, it’s true, he is.

Thelma storms in and yells at Orlando for not doing the deed. He admits to her that he can’t get it up. She goes off on him and tells him to be a man and make her his. What? That’s a man? Whatever. Thelma storms out, Orlando drops his pants and gets into bed.

Elias is drinking with Dr. Love and they make plans regarding Soledad and Mariana. Sergio spots them from the door, they don’t see him. Sergio leaves to go report back to the Don, I’m sure.

Adela gives Don Loco food, then gives him a strange look. She tries to convince Don Loco to let Dr. Love take care of Mariana, he doesn’t go for it.

Soledad feeds Mariana. So she can swallow too, but not talk? This is getting stranger and stranger. Soledad talks about various things, Mariana starts getting worked up again, so Soledad changes the subject and tells her all about Elias. She can’t love anyone again like she loved Don Loco before. She babbles on for another minute.

Adela in the kitchen, says bad things about Don Loco. She remembers Don Loco looking for the box. Adela looks in the cupboard, but some dude walks in. Adela shoos him out, then puts a padlock on the cabinet. She must have the box in there.

The funeral didn’t keep Coral from wearing something revealing. Other people have nice words for her, but evil nephew cusses her out. Coral decides to stay in the mansion, it’s hers now, right?

Alfonsina wants Don Loco to come say good night to her like she deserves. Since he is a complete and utter fool, and apparently BLIND, cripes DL look at her in that dress, how can you even remember your own name, he turns her down and tells her to leave. This is the nail in the coffin for him, he is truly over the edge crazy for turning this little package away. Sergio busts in and says he saw Elias with Dr. Love. DL looks at Alfonsina and says he gave her an order, why isn’t she complying? She leaves and Sergio continues his report.

Luba snores in her cave. Gaspar sleeps, he dreams of Alina running around scared, away from Orlando, Gaspar wakes up and says he’ll help her.

The carriage continues on to LR, Emilioooo has an orange flashback of making out with Alina. He’s thinking about how Angel is going to propose, but oh mi Alina, oh oh oh. Whatever. THIS is the guy who needs a pep talk telling him to ‘be a man.’ Angel then thought bubbles about how he is dying. SA babbles. Angel passes out, Emiliooo shouts at him, “what is it?” He’s dying you dumbass. SA says “don’t tell me he died!” Nice one SA, no he just passed out. The stop the carriage to do, I don’t know what they are going to do.

Sergio tells what he saw at El Meson to Don Loco. DL orders Sergio to find out what they are up to.

Gaspar sneaks around the cave looking for something to help save Alina, he finds a bit stick he can use as a club, then trips and falls all over the floor, he pretends to have fallen asleep there. Luba wakes up and yells at him about going to see Thelma, he says no, he was going to help Alina. He describes his dream. He says he has to save her. She prohibits him from leaving the cave. She tells him that the servants there think he was plotting with Thelma to hurt Alina. Gaspar says this isn’t true (Duh). She forbids Gaspar again from going anywhere near the house, or Don Loco will banish them forever. Also, there are people looking for them, if they are found, they’ll stop living.

Emiliooo administers some foul chemical to Angel, which wakes him up and makes him cough. SA says they should take him to La Rinconada, there is a doctor there. Emiliooo the genius asks Angel if he wants to go there, Angel doesn’t even know what planet he is on anymore, he’s just coughing his lungs out. Emiliooo says let’s go, off they go to LR.

Elias takes Dr. Love back to his shack to work on the plan. The plan has something to do with Soledad opening the house, then they’ll wheel Mariana out. Really complicated and well thought out. They shake on it.

Don Loco mumbles about Elias and has a flashback of some wedding. It appears to be the wedding of Don Loco and Soledad, DL takes some guy who must be Elias aside and tells him to lay off his woman, they are married now, take a hike. DL was always an ass apparently. In the present, DL swears that the Dr. Love/Elias team will not succeed.

Vera and Mexican Larry discuss if Alina really is in love with Orlando. ML doesn’t want to talk about it any more and heads off to bed.

Gaspar says nothing will happen to them. Gaspar starts hitting himself, saying it’s his fault that they are having trouble with Thelma. Luba screams at him to stop hurting himself. He wants to kill himself. He has given himself a bloody mouth from hitting himself, he says he’s going to die like the son of the cacique. Is he going to take poison? Luba goes completely nuts, screaming at him. Of course he’s big and strong, there isn’t anything she can do. They wrestle over whatever Gaspar has in his hand, must be the poison.

Castulo rides around on his horse in the dark with his gun drawn, he can’t find Santos, he decides that the coyotes got him.

Gaspar and Luba continue their tug of war. He says he’s useless. Luba says he’s the best thing that ever happened to her. Gaspar gets the bottle open. She says she’ll die first, is that what he wants? She manages to get him to give her the vial. She sobs in relief, while Gaspar just sobs. He’s feeling very sorry for himself, that isn’t something I imagine somebody mentally deficient to do, they usually aren’t self-aware, not that I’m an expert.

Everyone is sitting around at LR, Angel is just sitting on the couch coughing. Everyone ignores him until Thelma finally says hello, he coughs back at her, Emiliooo says “he needs to see a doctor right away.” Then why the hell do you just have him sitting on the couch? If this guy were my brother I’d kick him in the nuts. What an ass. Thelma sends Ifgenio to get the doctor and get the suitcases. They help Angel up off the couch to take him upstairs, the only thing he can say is “Where is Alina?” SA and Thelma exchange dirty looks. Hey – hasn’t Orlando been up there with her for, like, hours at this point? Jeez. Well he probably passed out from all the drinking.

Rosita and Hottie Mom pray for Santos at the home altar. Braulio enters and has no news. Nobody even knew where Elias had been when he went to the construction site. Hottie Mom decides to go confront Don Max to find out what he knows. For a second I thought Braulio was actually going to let the women go alone, finally he grabs his hat and follows them.

They tell Angel that he just needs to rest, forget about Alina for now. They promise to bring her to see him when he is resting.

Ifgenio rousts Mexican Larry and Vera to get downstairs, the boss is home.

Coral lights a candle, nice music plays, then we hear a sound. Coral takes a deep breath and looks at Celso’s picture and tells him not to scare her like that! Duh you bimbo it has to be Evil Nephew, coming to make trouble. So this is how they make this damn show so long – they keep spinning unrelated plotlines in to stretch it out. This whole Coral getting married thing is completely filler but it makes the show longer.

Emilioooo tucks Angel into bed, Angel says he’ll feel better when he sees Alina. Vera comes in and Emiliooo wants to know where Alina is, Vera doesn’t know, SA and Thelma look guilty some more.

Orlando lays in bed smoking a cigarette. He says something to Alina about now not being the time. Whatever dude you just couldn’t get it up. You laid here for hours drunk and just bah whatever. You’re a loser and I hate you. A knock on the door, it’s Vera looking for Alina, she says the Patron is back.

Angel is almost crying wanting to see Alina. Vera busts in and says that Alina’s door is locked and she won’t answer. Also she says that Alina had seemed nervous earlier in the night. Emilioooo wants to know what’s up but Thelma interrupts and says it’s nothing. Emilioooo will go see what’s going on.

Don Loco talks to himself some more when someone knocks on the door, it is the bodylicious Alfonsina. She has news that will interest DL, something about Soledad’s new lover.

Vera tries to get out of the room but Angel won’t let her leave. He thinks she is lying that Alina has been treated well. Vera is a horrible liar. She babbles on and on. Angel says he wants to save Alina by marrying her. Vera asks if he told her before he left, Angel says no, he wanted to see the doctor first. Vera says it might be too late now to declare his love for Alina, at this Angel starts coughing and coughing like mad.

Alfonsina wants to know what Don Loco will give her for the information. He asks if she is trying to blackail him, she swallows hard and looks very nervous.

Angel wants an explanation. Is it Orlando? Vera says yes, Orlando won her heart. Yeah right. Angel can’t believe it, he goes into a coughing fit. Vera runs for help.

Emilioooo knocks at Alina’s door, no answer. He finally kicks the door open. Wouldn’t he have a key? He bursts in to see Orlando in bed with Alina. Alina is rolled over on her side, appearing to be asleep after getting busy or something like that. Orlando looks back at Emiliooo kind of half like “what are you gonna do?” and half “oh shit.” Emiliooo looks on with his one look that he has for everything.

I tried to be more efficient in my writing today, I resisted pausing as much as possible. Hopefully the descriptions of what happened are still good, but I have to admit that not adding in all the extra stuff that drifts through my head while watching sure took a lot of the fun out of it. On the plus side, it only took about 90 minutes to watch, write, and post. So I still don't know what the long term plan will be. I would prefer to write a lot more, it's more fun, but eats up so much time. Anyone want to pay me to write stuff like this full time? That would solve that issue. I could recap a couple hours worth of TV in one standard work day. Ah, I can dream.
