Caray, Caray!

After Emiliooo knocks the gun out of Don Loco’s hand and says “now you and me, unarmed” Don Loco says, in effect, “You and what army?” They stare at each other for a long few seconds while Soledad whimpers.

In Mexico City, the other doctor from the hospital visits Malena, wanting to know where Dr. Love is. He wants to know if Dr. Love is having trouble with Don Loco. Malena is also stupid, she believes that Don Loco surely allowed Dr. Love to take care of Mariana.

Don Loco finally says fine, if Alina thinks she’ll be happy with Orlando, she can learn from her own mistakes. He won’t interfere. But, he tells Emiliooo, you know darn well she doesn’t love the lieutenant. Suddenly Emiliooo is all polite and asks ‘con su permiso’ from both Montellanos as he leaves.

Thelma has some crazy idea that Orlando’s wedding should be kept a secret or something, she is over thinking everything. Singing Aunt breezes in, she’s very happy that Max is going to take her to San Mateo this evening for a date. Orlando doesn’t want to hear any of it and leaves. Thelma wants to know why she forgot so quickly what they heard last night, SA says he apologized and then goes on and on forever about how nice he is, la la la. They finally fade out because she won’t shut up.

Coral is in the cab, she says they finally lost whoever was following them. The driver has had enough, he takes her bags out of the car and leaves here there. In the middle of nowhere, the driver keeps saying “It’s your problem.” She picks up her suitcase and starts walking.

Luba and Gaspar talk about how they have an image to keep up, that they are a witch family and everyone should fear them. Then she complains about Thelma some more.

Angel el estupido greets Suzi very coldly, she has come to take care of him, but he just tells her “yeah great thanks but no thanks” Suzi and her excellent tight pants turn right around and leave. Then Angel tells himself that he acted like an ass with her. You think, you idiot?

Don Loco isn’t acting super duper crazy, so Soledad’s radar is going off like crazy. She wants to know what he’s thinking, being so quiet. He acts like he is tired of exacting his vengeance, he’s going to find a wedding present. Soledad flips out and wants to know where he is going for real. If his goal was to drive her crazy, he succeeded. She has lost it. Ha Don Loco then calls her out on the same thing, he tells her she’s crazy. She starts begging him to not let the wedding happen. She proceeds to have a novela style fainting attack, dramatically falling on the sofa. Don Loco for some reason starts lifting the dress up off of her legs, he sees blood everywhere, leaking from her prior injury.

Vera tells Mexican Larry to stay away from Luba and the cave. ML leaves and Rosita enters. She has a problem. Vera says everyone has a problem, like Alina… Rosita wants to know all about it. No no, Vera says, nothing. These two, give me a break. They play the passive/aggressive ‘woe is me’ game too much. Vera finally tells her that Alina has to marry Orlando.

Don Loco goes to Luba’s cave, he wants her to cure Soledad. He and Luba run off back to the house. Gaspar hopes Luba can cure her.

Thelma asks Emilioooo where he has been. He says he doesn’t have to tell her where he goes. Emiliooo says that Orlando has to marry Alina to restore her honor. Thelma says that Don Loco surely will block the wedding. Emiliooo says no, he spoke with DL, he will allow the wedding. Alina has come halfway down the stairs and hears this last part, she doesn’t look impactada or anything. Just whatever. These actors can’t even summon up a good impactado look anymore, the basic staple of novela acting. They are all truly just mailing it in now.

After the commercial Alina talks to Emiliooo and Thelma. She wants to know how he convinced DL to allow the wedding. He says something about DL not being able to oppose a member of the military. Whatever, like DL cares about something like that. Thelma acts all nice to Alina, “be happy” and other crap. What a snake. She talks about what a great guy Orlando is. Ha yeah right. Alina actually thanks Emiliooo for helping her, he apologizes for kissing her the other day. They start to talk about that and Emilioo finally says whatever, you have to marry him, he storms off.

Granillo is dressed up like a woman, he is complaining to Edelmira that he has to do the same menial work as the other girls, he is cleaning tables. Edel tells him to shut up, he still has to finish and then do yesterday’s accounting. As Edel leaves, Castulo enters and calls Granillo “Gorda.” Granillo says that’s no way to talk to a Dama. Ha. Castulo grabs him and wants to know what the guy in here last night was talking about.

Crazy doctor wants to hypnotize Santos to find out more of who he is.

Granillo says the guy was named Ramiro, he doesn’t know anything else. Castulo says Granillo has to find more info if that guy comes back again.

Rosita argues that Alina doesn’t love Orlando, but she obviously doesn’t realize that it doesn’t matter.

Adela is out looking for work since Don Loco ran her off. She finds Nora, who offers her a place to stay.

Luba wants to know how Soledad got hurt, DL says none of your beeswax, just fix her up. She says fine, and somewhat sarcastically says “as you wish.” DL asks about the cofre, she says it is still lost (she gets a good bugeyed look when he asks her about it), he says when she finds it he wants to see what is in it.

Don Max paces impatiently while SA shops in every single store, with poor Ifgenio having to carry everything. He is distracted by the knowledge that Santos is his son.

Alina walks in the forest and whines about having to marry Orlando, who she hates. DL rides up and asks her where she got the stupid idea to get married. He says she isn’t allowed. She says Emiliooo told her that DL allowed it, DL says that Emiliooo misunderstood. She will never be allowed to marry Orlando. WTF. Why does he waste so much time with this crap? Whatever, marry whoever you want, just get out of here.

Max and SA stop to eat at a little restaurant. Turns out that it is Hottie Mom’s place, she sees Max and goes nuts, calling him a killer.

DL and Alina discuss further, DL finally says if Alina doesn’t obey, Soledad will get hurt or killed.

Hottie Mom continues to go crazy on Max in the middle of the restaurant. Max and SA pick up their stuff and take off in a hurry.

Wild and crazy doctor hypnotizes Santos. He talks about a Rosa and Santos has a vision of making out with Rosita. He wakes up and brilliantly realizes that Rosa is a woman.

Alina begs, DL yells, if she disobeys Soledad will suffer. Alina cries some more.

Emiliooo stares at the heart necklace and talks to himself. Whine whine, she can’t marry Orlando, I’m going crazy.

The real doctor tells Thelma that the baby will be fine, everything will be fine, even giving birth here in SE.

Adela and Nora take a walk. They see a hole in the ground, Nora says it is a hunter’s trap. I’m sure we are being told this for a reason, later someone will get stuck in one. We get a long lok at the hole, then down in the hole, then… it’s the cofre! Someone threw it in a hole. What the hell is going on here? This thing teleports around on it’s own.

Luba works on curing Soledad. She says with the cofre she could end the suffering, but with it lost she can’t help. Now she won’t shut up about the cofre. She had it for years, nothing, now that it’s gone, suddenly it is the most important thing ever. Soledad wakes up and tells her how she shot herself in the leg by accident, trying to shoot DL. Soledad wants news of Alina and Orlando.

Gaspar talks to a frog about his munequita, since he can’t talk to his mom about it. He hopes the baby isn’t tonto like him.

Alfonssina in another excellent tight dress treats Mariana roughly, ‘taking care’ of her. Throwing her around while fluffing pillows, etc. Sergio comes in and tells her that Hugo is here for her, he wonders what that’s all about. Alfonsina runs to Hugo, they start making out in the middle of Don Loco’s office. In walks Don Loco! For some reason, he yells “Hugo!” I would have expected that he yelled at his woman Alfonsina, but no, he yells at Hugo. Or Gasca. Or whatever you want to call him. Ooops, the s**t is about to hit the fan. Don Loco says he understands everything now. Gasca says he was stupid, he thought Alfonsina was just a plaything for Don Loco. DL runs Alfonsina out of the room. Somehow Gasca manages to apologize his way out of it. DL asks him, “you found Soledad’s bracelet in Jose’s bed, right?” Gasca says yes.

Luba tells Soledad that she thinks the thing with Alina and Orlando is nthing serious. Soledad says she thinks it is, Emilioooo came and asked permission for her to marry Orlando.

Vera tells Alina that Rosita came looking for her. Vera says something about the wedding, Aina says there won’t be any wedding.

Max tries to play Hottie Mom off as some crazy woman, Singing Aunt is giving him the third degree. Max convinces her that he does not have a son.

DL tells Gasca that he needs someone who isn’t part of the regular local people to talk to, Gasca says he’s the one, he’s all ears. I expect DL to try and spring some sort of trap here, he let the whole Alfonsina thing go way too easily.

Hottie Mom and her employees sit down and discuss the Don Max situation. They decide that Max is a bad man.

Santos decides to go out and find Granillo again to see if he can help.

Alina talks to Donkey, who barks as if talking back to her. She doesn’t say anything interesting. She has no way out.

The doctor examines Angel, he tells him that he is very strong, anyone else would be in much worse shape. Angel tells how he was an ass with Suzi, he wants to send along an apology.. Emiliooo comes in, the doctor says he’ll be back tomorrow with an antibiotic. Emiliooo tells Angel that Alina will marry Orlando. Angel is slow motion going to commercial impactado.

Coral tries to hitch a ride back to San Mateo, she stands by a sign that says 20km back to town. For some reason nobody will stop to pick her up. Her outfit isn’t revealing enough I guess.

Angel doesn’t understand, of course, Alina hates Orlando. Emiliooo says whatever, the important thing is to get Alina out of this place.

DL talks about Soledad’s new lover, then about Alina. He wants to ruin everything. Gasca says tell me all about it.

Angel whines some more, Emiliooo yells at him and leaves. These two are so useless.

Rosita talks to herself about how strange Alina’s wedding plan is. Braulio and Hottie Mom come in, they have the money they need to pay off Castulo for information. Earlier at her restaurant, when they all decided Max was a bad man, Hottie mom and the others talked about money, that must have been related to this.

SA looks at baby clothes and is excited. Thelma is more and more worried about having the baby and what will happen after that. SA goes on and on, Thelma tells her to shut up. She doesn’t want to talk about the baby any more. She actually tells SA to tell her about her date with Don Max. Wow she must be desperate to change the subject to ask for THAT.

Luba has some orange flashbacks of the Orlando/Alina ‘courtship’, Alina running away on a horse, Orlando following with something hidden behind his back, him saying that Donkey interrupted whatever he was doing with Alina, etc. Luba told him that Donkey only makes trouble with bad guys, not good guys. She vowed that Orlando will pay. Soledad shakes her out of her memory. Luba says that she doesn’t think DL will allow the wedding. Luba thinks “mi cofre… me cofre….”, like when the old crazy lady was going to the woods to die, thinking “cocolbosh… cocolbosh….”

Alina packs her things, I think she is going to make escape attempt # 529. She throws everything into a huge burlap bag and runs from her room.

DL is drunk and comes to see Soledad. Now he tells Soledad that he WON’T interfere with Alina’s wedding. What is he up to? He says he wants to recover his love and happiness with Soledad. This better not turn out like Asuncion in Alborada, where that asshole husband of hers was forgiven after being nice for five minutes. The end of this novela someday better feature the death or incarceration of Don Loco or I will hate it even more than I already do.

Alina pauses on her way out of the house, perhaps she is trying to figure out how to sabotage her own escape and blame it on being concerned with her mother. I really like her tight tanktop.

Monday – Alina, who changed clothes somewhere along the way, is still escaping through the wilderness and is scared by some snakes.
