Duelo de Pasiones - Wed April 25 - Max Learns He Has a Son, One He has Always Wished For
Emilio and Alina share a long kiss. After throwing back her head as she seemingly gets lost in Emilio’s kiss Alina abruptly stops the kiss. She tells Emilio to not kiss her again. She tells him that she is going to leave La Rinconada.
In Mexico City Coral plus two of her Cueva de Diablo friends sit listening to an attorney read Don Celsos will.
Rosita and Carmen chat. Rosita claims that she knows that Santos is still alive. Carmen tells her Let God hear you daughter. Rosita leaves the room and Carmen prays to the virgin de Guadalupe to return her son.
Santos has decided to take a walk around town to see if he will recognize anything. Doctor Zavala/Einstein warns Santos to not get near Alvaro Montellano nor Don Max. Santos tells him that he won’t and he will return later that evening.
Coral receives her great fortune as her two cave mates sign as witnesses. As she looks off in space she sees the evil nephew out of the corner of her eye. She screams, one of the cave mates (possibly the club bouncer?) gives chase. He reports back that the wimp has fled running.
The Singing Aunt and Don Max tour the courtyard of La Rinconada. He finally asks her if she went to his office. SA denies doing that and asks him why he is asking. Max hesitates and SA talks over him telling him that he is just confused.
Don Loco has tied Soledad up at her hands and feet and has left her to sit on her bed. He removes his gun and hat, takes a chair, props up his feet and tells her to shut her pipe hole so he can rest. Soledad spies the gun sitting on the dresser as she watches Don Loco fall asleep.
Emilio and Alina keep up their silly argument. Where will you go? It’s dangerous for you. I want to help you. You don’t believe me. I don’t need your help. Ugh!
Vera acts like she is trying to be a friend to the most popular girl in high school. Thelma, the popular one, does not want Vera as her friend or for her to be around for that matter. Thelma is going through all the clothes that no longer fit her as she complains how her pregnancy has made her deformed. Vera tries to talk her into being excited about her pregnancy but Thelma doesn’t care to hear it. She ends up giving Vera all of her pre-pregnancy shirts. Vera is thrilled; the shirts are of the finest quality. Gosh this must mean that Thelma likes her. She really likes her!
Luba prays to the Virgincita that her chest will show up. Gaspar complains that all the servants are afraid of them. Luba tells him that the worse part is that they are accusing her of being a bad witch. They will have to leave soon. Plus Cacique said he would find her where ever she is….
There is a flash back or a flash to another group of people. A man brings in a woman who he calls Myrka, she is a curandera. An ailing man on the bed screams that he doesn’t want another witch to touch him, not after what that Luba did to his son. The first man tells the sick man to trust in Myrka. The sick man finally agrees but only after he warns her not to use any bad herbs on him. If she does his friend will kill her.
Alina whines to Tonkey/Donkey bored little doggie.
Rosita tells Braulio that Castulo would know if Max killed Santos.
Angel tells Emilio that he believes in Alina, and guess what?! She’s in love with you, Emilio!
Emilio and Angel discuss how Emilio’s love (Alina) is impossible. He’s married, she’s an idiot. Angel tells Emilio to fight for her.
Rosita tells Braulio that Castulo would sell his mother for money. They will get him to tell them what happened to Santos.
Emilio complains that Angel didn’t see Alina in bed with Orlando. Angel tells him to get over it, get divorced, be free, get with Alina. Emilio keeps talking about seeing Alina in bed with Orlando. Angel tells Emilio that he has another important thing to do; to believe in Alina’s innocence. Emilio thinks that is hard to do.
Elias and Doctor Love see each other at the work site to reconfirm that tonight they will burn the fields. Orlando walks up as Dr. Love leaves. Elias wants to know if there is something going on between him and Alina. Orlando tells him that it’s a small romance. Elias is exuberant with his praise telling Orlando to protect Alina.
Soledad talks to herself as she looks at the sleeping Loco. She knows that Mariana knows who the letter was for! She unties her ropes and grabs the gun. She looks at the sleeping Loco as she makes her way out of the room. She unfortunately brushes her legs against his as she goes past Loco. Loco wakes up and stares her down. She stares him back down the barrel of the pistol.
Sergio finds Adela packing up a box in the living room. She tells him that the boss fired her. He is ecstatic. He tells her she deserved it for being a traitor. He asks her what does she have in her box; she arrived with nothing, so why is she leaving with this box? Adela tells him she isn’t like him. She isn’t stealing anything. Plus he is the last person she would give an explanation to on what’s inside the box.
Elias rides a horse over to the Rinconada to see Alina. He tells her he has been a little ill, nothing of importance. Gosh these martyrs grow like trees in these stupid hills.
Don Loco taunts Soledad to shoot him. He tells her she isn’t capable. She blabs her usual junk about how she would for her daughter. They struggle for the gun, the gun goes off, and we see how big each of their eyes can get.
Soledad passes out as Don Loco spies’ blood coming from her leg. He tells her she will be alright, it was just a scratch. He kisses her on the mouth. He laments why he can’t leave her. He blames her for his actions like a typical abuser, “Look at what you’ve made me do.” Wha.
Alfonsia is excited to have heard the gun shot. She tells Mariana that “finally the patron has killed his traitor wife.” She looks at Mariana and tells her that he will probably kill her next.
Elias asks Alina about Orlando. He wants to know if she is going to marry him. Alina is short on words. He tells her not to marry if she doesn’t want to and besides he is going to take her out of Sierra Escondida. Alina thought bubbles that she will have to marry Orlando in order to save her mother.
Thelma asks Emilio if he is mad at her. She has only been taking Orlando’s side because she doesn’t want Emilio to make an injustice happen with his best friend over Alina. She coerces him to touch her pillow, their child.
Its night and Rosita is looking for Carmen.
Santos has made his way to the Meson de Edelmiras for a little R and R. He is befriended by Granillo. Granillo tires to ply the young man with alcohol but all Santos wants is water.
Max and Castulo are in Max’s office when Carmen bursts in. She wants to know what Max has done to Santos. He screams for Castulo to get her out. She screams over Castulo telling Max that she “needs to know if you killed Santos! If you did then you committed the worst of sins! Santos is your son!” Max freaks.
Soledad is tied up and in the bed again. Don Loco hovers over like a nervous nurse. He kisses her forehead. As his lips touch her forehead he finds that she has a fever. He worries about the fever but is interrupted by a field worker who has come to tell him his coffee fields are on fire. The fire is going to ruin the harvest! Loco is torn on what to do but he chooses to leave for the burning fields and to leave his burning wife.
Emilio and Alina sit down to have a chat. Emilio tells her he wants to believe in her. She cuts him off telling him that he is instead full of doubt. His doubt disgusts her. She tells Emilio to listen to her, she wants him to go talk with Orlando and obligate him to marry her.
Max screams after Carmen that she is a liar. Carmen shouts that she never thought he would be capable of killing his son. She should have told him but but but. Max repeats “No puede ser!” over and over.
Emilio tells Alina not to tell him she wants to marry Orlando. She tells him to listen but he mumbles on. He is sure now that what Thelma said is true; that Alina wanted to get with Orlando to get out of town. She did it all voluntarily, on purpose!
Don Loco tells Isidrio, a field hand, that the fire was set on purpose. They stay to fight it.
Gaspar whines about wanting to see what’s going on with his son. Luba begs him to not ask about his son again. Does Gaspar want them to kill him? Well, no, Gaspar doesn’t want that but I’m beginning to want that.
Alina begs for Emilio to listen to her. It’s not what he thinks. She hates Orlando, he disgusts her. It’s just that she could be pregnant by him. Emilio’s is impactado.
Elias waits outside for Soledad. Soledad prays to the Virgin to help Elias.
Max tells Castulo that Carmen is a liar. He claims it isn’t true, he didn’t kill Santos, it was Castulo. Castulo admits he killed Santos but only because Max ordered it. They decide to drown their sorrows at the Meson. Castulo worries about the aunt but Max quips he doesn’t want anything to do with that oldy/ viejita.
Santos asks Granillo if he has seen him before. Granillo tells him no.
Alina tells Emilio that the possibility exists that she is pregnant. That’s why she wants to marry Orlando. She is resigned to having a bitter life. The only thing she wants to do is save her mommy.
Thelma tells her Aunt Rebecca that she is too made up. Rebecca doesn’t care. She is excited about her date. She is sure that Max will asks her to marry him to night. Goody! She is as sure as her name is Singing Aunt. Thelma is doubtful.
Emilio finally agrees that things will be how Alina wants them to be. She walks off and he thinks to himself about how is he ever going to live without her? Boo hoo.
Carmen goes back to Braulio’s house. She tells Rosita and Braulio that she told Max that Santos was his son.
Santos gets up and leaves the meson. Castulo sees Santos and says No puede ser! Max asks if he has seen a ghost. Castulo denies seeing a ghost and thinks to himself that Santos is alive.
The Singing Aunt is devastated that Max stood her up. She cries.
Emilio corners Orlando to tell him to marry Alina. Orlando snorts that he will do no such thing. After Emilio walks off Orlando smirks with pleasure that Emilio is dying of jealousy.
Don Loco admits defeat against the fire. Elias wonders where Alina is. Alfonsia decides to leave Marianas room to find out about what is going on.
Alfonsia goes to the room where Soledad is tied up. She sees the gun and grabs it. She points it at Soledad and tells her not to worry she wont shoot her. She will wait for the patron to do it.
The field hands see that the wind is changing. They have saved the harvest! Don Loco promises everyone a good compensation in their salaries for their hard work. The workers cheer for Loco.
Elias creeps into the hacienda. Alfonsia jumps out of a corner brandishing the gun at him. She tells him she knows he is the lover of Soledad.
Alina whines to Tonkey/Donkey this little doggie hasn’t gotten to do anything this show.
Sergio finds Alfonsia, her gun, and her hostage Elias sitting on the living room couch. Sergio throws a punch at the hostage Elias. Don Loco enters the room saying My we have a visitor.
Emilio looks at his sleeping brother worrying how his brother will feel when he finds out that Alina turned his marriage proposal down to marry Orlando.
Elias tells Don Loco that he came for Mariana not Soledad. Loco knows that Doctor Love must not be far behind if Elias is there. He asks Elias so which one of you two set the fields afire?!
Tomorrow Alina tells Orlando that she wants to leave stupid hills. As Orlando’s wife she will be able to leave. Thelma tells Orlando he will be very wealthy if he marries Alina. She is the real daughter of crazy Montellano.

There was a lot going on in this episode, not easy to recap! Excellent, thank you. I loved your observations about Vera kissing up to Thelma!
Did anyone notice that Sergio muttered to someone (I think Adela), "I hope you get eaten by coyotes"? He's got coyotes on the brain.

Lynn~~~Thanks for the great recap. You gave me lots of giggles over my Cheerios. Carmen~~Yes, I heard Sergio making his coyote wish. He is one nasty dude. Geez, Sergio, go out and make some friends...get a life. And Thelma is so mean to her poor auntie. I am so sick and tired of these people. It seems that everyone is either 1]nasty 2]stupid 3]nasty and stupid. It was interesting watching Granillo putting the moves on Santos. I'm surprised that he didn't take advantage of Santos's amnesia and tell him, ''Ahhhhh...yeah...ahhh....I know you...We're a couple...Don't you remember me ????'' Now, THAT would have been a plot twist , no ???? And, what is ''a small romance.'' Does that translate to : ''I was in bed with her for an hour or so with my pants on and here's what happened next...nada.''

Thanks for the detailed recap. Just when I think Duhlina has reached the fullest depth of stupidity, she set's a new standard!
Maybe the actor who plays emiliooo is just as disgusted with the script as we are and so he is barely going through the motions now...

Again, thanks for all the hard work and dedication, Lynn. I sure appreciate these recaps as they do help me with learning Spanish at my late age. I just can't understand the stupidity of these writers.
From what Orlando said, he could not do the deed with Alina so she is still a virgin. Even if a woman is unconscious when they are forced to have sex against their will, the pain and trauma to the vaginal area would be unbearable especially since Alina is a virgin. Where are the blood stains on the sheets? Did she even think to look for that or to consult a doctor? One examination by the doctor, would prove she was NOT raped. How can intelligent adults even tolerate acting with this kind of moronic material as their script? Imbécil & estúpido

I dont think sex education classes were given in Sierra Escondida. Loco thinks that his foreman could be the biological father of DL's daughter even though the foreman and Alina are roughly the same age.
Alina doesnt know if she was raped because she thinks sleeping next to a man means you will get pregnant. Kinda of like how many teenagers think that if you swallow semen you can get pregnant. Fascinating these idiots, this script.

Ha ha! Another winner from Lynn! So many comments were hilarious I can't even begin to call them out.
Lynn, I especially love your comments on Tonki/bored little doggie. Maybe when he was AWOL he was trying to sniff out a cute little perrita.
Yes, I heard Sergio too! He's horrible. I've lost track of whom he has shot in this show. I'm glad Adela gave him a mighty slap. So we're thinking she's got Luba's cofre in her box, right? Aren't she and Luba kind of friends? I wonder where Adela will go?
Jan, I just assumed that Alina knows so very little about sex that she's ignorant about what might or might not have happened. It's a stretch I know!
So Lynn, the very last part of the show was cut off for me. Thelma really tells Orlando that Duhlina is a true Montellano? Now that's some juicy news. Of course he will be all hot to marry her now that he sees dollar signs.
Don Max was more impactado than I thought he would be when he heard the news that Santos is his kid. Could he have a semblance of a conscience?

Maybe Maximo is just superstitious about killing his own son, the way Castulo doesn't want to kill Gaspar even though he's willing to commit other murders. But why do I keep trying to make sense of this show!
Thanks for the funny recap! I am greatful because I think my VCR in the living room is dying...last night's tape was bouncing and skipping when I played it. Yuck! The VCR in the bedroom is too hard to program even though it is newer. :(
Yep, everybody needs to get out of SSE....too much coraje and stupidity in that place.-Becky T.

Dr. Love's tough luck getting hooked up with the "helpful" helpless, hapless Elias. Nothing E touches turns out very well.

Lynn, thanks for the terrific recap! Too bad we didn’t get to see more of Tonki/Tonqui/Donkey/etc. He’s the star.
Every time I see Elias figure out a new scheme and try to implement it, I just have to shake my head. He’s almost as clueless as Soledad and Duhlina. Not one of his savior schemes has succeeded. He isn’t analyzing the plan, figuring out the “downstream effects and having backup plans, then figuring out what he could do better after each failure. Just imagine how this engineer’s carretera will look when it’s done!!
Yes, Sylvia, Dr. Love and Elias are two of a kind, too. I don’t ever want to have surgery in Dr. Love’s hospital, either.

I love the title of this recap. You've got that right, Máximo, there's your Max Jr, your Mínimo, your firstborn, one and only son. Well, they do have the same taste in women, though not necessarily in drinks. Water is Santos' preferred beverage. If he had more money, maybe he'd dress a little more like his daddy.
I'm so ready for stupid Don Loco to find out that Alfonsina lied big time about José and Soledad, and that the letter was for Mariana. Wrap this storyline up already!
