Duelo de Pasiones - May 2 - Where's Emiliooooooooooo!
Orlando rides up to Don Locos asking if Emilio is there. Don Loco immediately threatens him asking if Orlando is the guy who is challenging him to marry Alina.
Alfonsia and Hugo meet up on a bridge over a gully in a pretty part of the hacienda de locos. Alfonsia is upset Hugo is leaving for Veracruz; she pleads to him waht about all their promises and dreams?! Hugo will hear none of it; what the capitan (boss) demands (says) the sailor does. He laughs at how Alvaro brought her as a lover and has turned her into a nursemaid. Plus what would she suggest he do? Kill Alvaro? Then they would be fleeing the law and that would be a great marriage. She is undeterred, she tells him that she will kill Mariana. Hugo is shocked, he cant believe she would do that. Alfonsia claims she would kill a priest for him, she loves him so.
Alvaro taunts Orlando a little more asking if he came so they could fight. Orlando changes the subject to Alina and is Alvaro sure she isnt there. Loco is sure she isnt there. He told that to Emilio too, who left after realizing that Loco had nothing to do with Alina. Loco tells Orlando to scram, he wants this to be the last time he sees Orlando as his hacienda. Orlando turns to leave thinking of how he has to find Alina before Emilio does.
Hugo gives Alfonsia "The Necklace". She is touched claiming it is the most beautiful necklace. They make out and agree to stay in contact, waiting for the right time to do something.
Coral is dressing in her room at Edelmiras when some of the working girls come by to hassle her. Coral informs them that she is going to see a friend; she can leave Edelmiras any time she wants. The trashy girls are unhappy; they cant leave whenever they want.
Orlando rides throughout the hills and forest looking for Alina on a beautiful white horse. Thelma leaves the hacienda in search of Emilioooooooooooooo.
Heidi, aka Gaspar, is out in the fields with a basket full of herbs and flowers guided by her faithful goat herd Tonky/Donky. Tonky alerts Heidi by barking and digging at a buried treasure. Gaspar thanks the dog for leading him to the treasure which is Emilios wallet.
Castulo, shirtless and showing off his cut abdomen, brushes a horse down. His muscles shimmer with sweat in the afternoon sun. Brualio dressed in full Charo gear offers Castulo lana to find out what Don Max has done to Santos. Castulo accepts the money.
Gaspar arrives at the luxury cave alerting Luba and Alina that he is scared. He saw someone on horseback riding near the cave. Alina immediately thinks it is Emilio hunting her down to force her to marry Orlando. They hide Alina.
Orlando bursts into the cave yelling at Luba to tell him where Alina is. Luba scolds Orlando to not to enter her house yelling. Orlando ignores her and continues being rough. Gaspar warns Orlando to not talk to his mother like that. Orlando is angry that they wont tell him where Alina is nor will they allow him to search the cave. He pulls out his gun and points it at Luba. Luba pulls out a knife.
Thelma, in high heels not fit for a walk in the country, walks over a bridge in search of Emilio. Her pillow gives her labor pains. She winces in pain.
Singing Aunt tries to feed baby Max. He is not happy to have her attention. He tells her he wants to be alone. She ignores what he is saying and instead talks of how things will change with the date. What date Max wants to know? She tells him our marriage date. Max snorts in disgust. He doesn’t want to get married and if he was to get married he would marry someone young, lovely, pretty. Singing Aunt is crushed. She runs out of his room crying. Max calls her completely crazy.
Luba and Orlando have a standoff with their weapons of mass destruction. Gaspar cowers afraid of Orlando. Orlando tells them to step aside.
Emilio stumbles around with lots of blood pouring out of his leg. He falls to the ground and passes out.
Orlando yells at Luba and Gaspar to step aside, he wants to search the cave. He pushes past them to another corner of the cave where behind a blanket he sees 3 old ladies praying over a body under a blanket. Luba tells Orlando to leave and let the women mourn. (These are women that came to Lubas yesterday for help for one of their friends.) Orlando is frustrated and leaves. Alina pops up from under the blanket smiling.
Santos tells the crazy doctor that he is Jacinto Rosa ( or maybe Ramiro Rosa). Rosa is his last name, not some woman as they had thought. He knows all this because he met a friend who told him about his past. He goes on to say he doesn’t have family either. The doctor thinks this is strange; that Santos would not have any family. Santos tells the doctor how he will make sure to arm himself to protect himself from that Valtierra guy who wants to hurt him.
Hugo rides through the forest/countryside. His horse stops and he looks down to see a snake that has crossed his path. His horse bucks him off and he lands, conveniently enough, in the same hunters trap hole that Adela fell in and that the "cofre" resides in.
Singing Aunt throws herself onto the bed in Thelmas room. She wonders where her niece is as she hysterically begins to cry. She swears vengeance against the idiot Max.
Thelma, now in the forest, grabs a tree as she suffers through a horrible labor pain. She calls for Emiliooooooooooooooooooo.
Luba and Alina discuss how the cave is not safe for her to hide. Where is Alina to hide?
Thelma makes it out of the forest into a field. Coral walks up and the two women trade insults. Thelma falls to the ground in real labor this time. Coral runs off for help. Coral gets Vera, Jaime, and Ifigy to help Thelma.
Gaspar suggest that Alina hide at Noras house. Besides Nora likes him he claims. Lubas eyes light up as she exclaims Ojos bonitos! That’s a good idea. My son isn’t such a blockhead!
Gaspar is happy to have come up with this good idea. His happiness causes him to remember the treasure he found. He shows it to Luba and Alina, who immediately recognize the wallet as Emilios. The three of them stand around and try to figure out why Emilios stuff would be out in the forest. Alina wants Gaspar to take her to where he found the stuff. Luba claims its not safe for Alina to go out alone, so they decide they all will go.
Max has fallen asleep on his bed. He dreams of digging a grave with Santos' body lying near by. He turns in his dream and Santos is gone. He frantically looks around. Santos grabs him from behind and chokes him. Singing Aunt busts into Maxs room causing him to wake from his bad dream spooked. He rolls off the bed, with his eyes wide. Rebecca tells him that she knows all about Santos, plus she overheard him with his servant Castulo. Max tries to ask for forgiveness but Rebecca tells him its too late. She is going to tell her nieces husband everything!
Thelma is safe in her bed at the hacienda with Coral and Vera watching over her. Coral leaves to get the doctor. Thelma, who looks to be in a lot of pain, thanks Vera for being there. She begs her not to leave her alone. She is afraid.
The sheriff/ police official in charge of the jail tells Sergio that with the money Sergio just gave him Elias wont leave the jail alive.
Alfonsia and Alvaro chat. Alfonsia makes the mistake of telling Alvaro that she wasnt born to take care of the sick. Loco, ever the sweet man, back hand slaps Alfonsia for talking to him like that. She tries to get out of trouble but lands in more. She tells him that the land he gave her is worthless, its too small being only 300 meters. Locos beady eyes pop with recognition. How could Alfonsia know how big the piece of land is? He never told her the size. She must have been with Hugo! Hugo is the only one who knows how big that piece of land is! He starts to choke Alfonsia and pushes her down hard. She begs and swears and even makes a kissing sound like this is good pasta with fingers to mouth. She swears that she hasnt been with Hugo. Loco is unimpressed. He tells her all women are the same, they are good for nothing! She tells him to prove her loyalty she will take care of Mariana for however long he wants. He tells her he wont forgive her. She better watch out.
Thelma suffers some more through her vicious labor. Now that Coral has gotten Thelma safe at home, Thelma gratefully tells Coral to get out. Singing Aunt adds her two cents telling Coral to scram too. Coral is pissed. She calls Rebecca an old bag and tells Thelma she deserves all this pain. If it wasnt for Coral then Thelma would be having her kid out in the field! The doctor arrives and Coral takes her exit.
Gaspar and crew look over the hidy hole where the treasure was found. They brainstorm on who would have buried Emilios stuff. Emilio must be in trouble! Who would have done this? A robber? No, it must be someone who doesnt need money. They decide to split up to find Emilio. Gaspar and Alina take off while Luba heads off with Tonky.
Castulo orders a bottle of hoochie at Edelmiras. Granillo demands payment up front. Castulo hands over some of his new money. Granillo smartly figures out that this money probably has something to do with the guy Ramiro (Santos) that Castulo was asking about.
Gaspar and Alina spy Emilios horse standing in the river. There is blood on the horse that Alina quickly figures out is not horse blood. It must be Emilios blood!
Alfonsia shows off her new necklace to Mariana. She tells Mariana all about how she loves Hugo. He is a real man, so viril, the only one to make her feel special. Alfonsia asks Mariana to help her figure out how to send her to an assisted living facility. She evily grabs Marianas hand and starts to pull on her fingers. She tells Mariana to tell her she will help...
Vera fills Angel in on Thelma giving birth. Vera chokes when she realizes that Angel doesnt know that Emilio is missing. Nurse Suzy walks in and Vera uses that as an excuse to leave, not telling Angel anything.
Luba stumbles through the forest. She trips and falls down a hill to land, of all places, on top of Emilio. She freaks when she realizes it is Emilio and that he is barely alive.
Angel asks to be forgiven from Nurse Suzy. Luba freaks some more and runs off for help.
Thelma has a miserable painful delivery. She sweats and pants and begs the doctor to give her something for the pain. For some reason the doctor does not give her anything, instead he tells her to push. The baby is born and things go into slow motion. The baby cries while we see the Singing Aunts face frozen in horror then we see Thelmas face in horror.
Tomorrow Luba tells Alina that they will have to cut off Emilios leg.

Luba is kind of a klutz, but at least she rolled onto Emilio. Angel looks good when he smiles like he did at SN Susi, he should do it more often.
Thanks for link to the Charo, very interesting, and excellent vocab words. Great recap Lynn, thanks!!
How many more people are going to fall down the rabbit hole that held THE BOX? I'm beginning to think the forest/jungle/hacienda grounds are about as big as my living room.
To be honest I can hardly wait to see the baby. From the reactions you'd think it had two heads. On the other hand maybe it just looks like a munequita with glass eyes that roll open and shut.
Was thinking last night that if I were the actress playing Alphonsina, I'd be really ticked at the change in Hugo.
The original actor was quite a hunk in his nifty little bandanna. THIS Hugo is a dried-up, neurasthenic prune. No fun to kiss at all. Bring back the bandanna guy please!

Than God for Fern and Omar.

I also want the baby to be OK so Luba and Gaspar can raise it. I hope Thelma dies in labor, but probably no such luck. (Wow, didn't that just sound awful? But I am talking about Thelma after all.)
Why is it that we were never told what happened to Thelma's parents? Did they just abandon her or what?
I wonder how Máximo will treat Santos once he finds out he's alive. Will he try to reach out to him? I'm tempted to call Santos "Mínimo" for being Maximo's son--- okay, I will.
I don't think I'm looking forward to the whole "make Elías suffer in jail" storyline. I've never been a fan of prison torture scenes.
