Duelo de Pasiones - Tuesday May Day - Not The Great Escape---even THE FROG can't escape
Tonight I'm going to do the thing that Lynn did and that Carmel will do, and ask for commenters to fill us in on what happened tonight in Escondidaville. Thanks for your patience and your assistance. Oh, by the way, you can blame Susanlynn for tonight's title, I stole it from her comment of last night. I thought it summed up the Escondidaville situation quite nicely! Thanks y'all!!
Tuesday's recap is courtesy of Judy B (padded by a few tiny details from me because I actually managed to fast-forward through half of it this morning):
The struggle went on with Emilio. Instead of shooting Emilio himself, Don Loco was urging his henchmen to finish him off and they didn't want to. He called Sergio a "wuss"(tu enaguas (petticoat) de hoy en adelante) and appeared to be disgusted with them both.
Emilio somehow managed to punch DL and Sergio unconscious. They both conveniently and comfortably landed on the couch. Hugo held his gun to Duhmelio's head but eventually allowed him to escape. Instead of leaving Casa de Loco Emilio ran around the halls demanding to see Alina. Naturally Don Loco regained consciousness and when he saw Emilio he shot him in the leg outside Soledad's and Mariana's doors.
And yes, then DL and newHugo dragged Emilio down by the river and Don Loco held his face in the water until he appeared to drown. Then, after D.L. left, Hugo pulled him out of the river and tried to revive him and couldn't seem to. Later though he does cough up a lot of gunk and starts to drag himself back.
How many times is Emilio going to get shot? How many times is he going to stuck somewhere calling for help?
Hugo buried emiliooo's wallet, but kept the treasured silver heart to give to Alfonsina. He's just as smart as the rest of them...
Mariana worried about her brother being a murderer. Later she slept and had a dream of her sweet Marianita. (When I [I being Sylvia] was a child in Sunday School I used to drive my teachers crazy with endless questions about heaven...will my dog Willie be there, will I have to go the bathroom, will I continue to grow or will I stay the same age forever? I still don't know about Willie or the bathroom, but apparently kids grow in heaven because Marianita is losing her baby teeth and growing new ones. She has a big space where one of her front teeth is missing.) She tells her mommy not to worry and to have faith, lots of faith. A big tear squeezes out of Mariana's closed eyes.
As for Duhlina, lots of really irritating screaming (don't know which I hate more, her shrieks or Lety's giggle/baby talk) then faints and Gaspar takes her back to cave where she and Luba have a heart to heart and make up. Luba kind of told her what they were talking about in the hut but not really...Alina still doesn't know Thelma is carrying Gaspar's child.
Adela falls in the hole with the magic box (well, we KNEW that was going to happen) so both she and Emilioo are screaming Auxilio a lot.
Dario the homicidal nephew visits Corals friends at La Cueva del Diablo and demands to know where she is. Not being from Escondidaville they aren't stupid enough to tell him anything. Not yet anyway. He snarls that he will find her somehow.
Coral is back at the old bar and the boss is setting her up for revenge by insisting she's the star and the other girls must let her have all the best clothing. Presumably when bad nephew finds her these gals will betray her out of spite.
Santos meets up with Castulo, Castulo realizes he's amnesiac and starts telling him a lot of lies about himself and his presumed attacker.
Best part...really funny...Singing Aunt is ALL OVER, I mean ALL OVER Emilio's tio...who was thrown off his horse. Bouncing all over him trying to help and all he wants is to get rid of her. Good comedy there.
Ick factor was the scene where Don Loco is trying to kiss Soledad...she's resisting...then he says he'll be nice to Alina and give her what she wants if Soledad kisses him like she used to so they start going at it. Major eeeuwwwwww.
Whathisname...the incompetent engineer is being thrown in jail, accused of burglary 'cause he was trying to get into Don Loco's house. He's berating himself saying he's useless...yup, that's pretty much it.Soooo...that's all I remember, other than some stupid conversations between sirvientes and Thelma and Orlando which you don't need to hear...just more yada yada yada.
Oh, and Thelma gets a pain in her stomach. It must be from the gigantic pillow she has stuffed inside her shirt.
Judy B, thanks for being a part of the team, you are a lifesaver!! If anyone else wants to add some details I will include them.

Thelma's faint little cough and all I could think is that she was going to cough the baby out instead of, as the previews hint, have the poor kid out in the fields or better yet a cave. Now after all the boozing she does she worries that she might have a brain impaired child like his father. Yah think?
I always seem to have to sign in two or three times.

The whole episode was a hoot for me, although I'm probably not supposed to laugh when the wounded hero starts shouting for help. But that's what it's come to on this show!
Same with everything else in this novela! Alina running away, getting saved, back to the cave, back to Rinconada, back to DL's, back to Edelmira's, back to cave, back to Rinconada, back to DL's, back to Edelmira's---- you get the picture.
Don Loco tries to kill someone again. Don Loco puts the moves on Soledad again.
Soledad fall for DL's lies again.
If Angel's coughing weren't enough, now Thelma's at it.
Yep, is right, Elias is ineffectual. Again, as always.
This is truly a Sisyphean bore.
And, yes, I do watch, still, some of it. Mostly FF through.
jb and jb again
2) The only reason I could think of as to why Hugo would save Duhmilio is that perhaps he could use Emiliooo's testimony against Don Loco if he had to in the future, if he and Alfonsina wanted to set up Don Loco. Not that THAT makes much sense either.
3) Anonymous, those are funny comments about Osorio (and Niurka flashing the world). I'm weary of the women getting treated like crap. Someone should tell him it's time to move into the 21st century!
4) I always have sign-in problems too. I usually have to repeat the secret letters three times to get in.

Here I go with my first try
This is the second try
Let's see if this works 1st time.
Thank goodness - today I'm a little impatient. (With everything - myself, novelas rerunning same plots, people at work complaining about SOT(same old thing), this rainy weather
I need a mojito!).
This novela gets stranger all the time, but, what the heck ! I love reading the recaps! Unfortunately, teenage daughter was hogging the computer most of last night, and then the weather got severe--like it always does in central Texas, and we had to turn off the computer!

I think DL scares the crap out of Hugo too. I mean, the guy would just as soon shoot him as have a drink with him. He and Alfonsina are playing a dangerous game, baiting this tiger in his lair. Now he's killed an army captain? Even the idiot Sergio knows better than to mess with the National army. DL may have a lot of power locally but if the military come in to grab him, all the bribes in the world won't save him. That's why Hugo tried to butter his bread on both sides by alternately kicking Emilio in the head and trying to save him with DL wasn't looking.
Right, so now we have Coughing Thelma. Angel didn't cough tonight, but Thelma did.
Rebecca all over Máximo, and he's just like, "Uh, yeah, whatever, just... leave me alone." Doesn't she get it? The guy isn't the least bit interested in her.
I like that shirt Santos was wearing. He looked really nice in it, and I hope he wears it more often.
Soledad agreed to kiss Alvaro because he promised to let Alina marry Orlando without interfering.
