Duelo de Pasiones - Wed May 16 - Death Comes Knocking
Fat Max pulls Don Loco out of the room and warns Don Loco that he won’t let a Montellano kill a Valtierra.
Castulo holds a gun to Carmens head saying he will shoot her unless Santos comes with him. The boss wants to see Santos. Santos relents as Carmen cries and goes to pray at a little alter for the Virgencita.
Thelma is pissy that Alina fainted. She snaps at her aunt and is told to calm down by Orlando. Orlando asks her if she wants to get rid of him. She tells him not to be stupid she is only complaining about her aunt.
.
Carmen tells Braulio and Rosita where Santos has gone.
In Mexico City the bow tie wearing doctor Ricardo is now a bolo wearing doctor. He tells Malena that he needs to return Mariana to Sierra Escondida to clear up the mess about Jose. Elias told him everything that has gone wrong. Malena suggests that they instead write a letter. Bolo doc tells her they can’t; it was a letter that started this whole mess. Ricardo performs some physical therapy with Mariana while she thinks that she will do whatever is necessary to get better so she can tell the truth.
The corrupt police capitan of San Mateo questions a bus driver. He learns that Mariana split town via bus. He is going to inform el patron Don Loco.
Braulio gets his shotgun to go track Santos down.
Nurse Suzy tells Emilio and Angel that the good Doc Vazquez is going to find out what is wrong with Alina. She has something real strange. The camera flashes over to Thelma and Orlando who are around the hall corner eavesdropping. Orlando asks Thelma if she poisoned Alina. Thelma calls him an idiot. Camera pans over to Angel and Emilio who decide to leave the doctor alone so he can work unpressured. They run into Thelma and Orlando. Emilio gives them the evil eye.
Soledad scolds Don Loco for shooting Emilio. He tells her he did it because Emilio raped Alina. He didn’t want to tell her this and cause her pain but its true. Orlando is marrying Alina to cover up for Emilio’s actions. Soledad is disbelieving and upset.
Doctor Vasquez tells Suzy that Alina has a weak pulse. He claims its useless to continue. Suzy looks on in horror saying Alina is going to die.
Soledad runs into the living room of La Rinconada screaming at Emilio asking why he did it. She slaps him as she continues to scream at him. Dr. Vasquez comes into the room and tells everyone he did what he could but Alina has died. Soledad starts screaming Noooooooo. Emilio’s face twists in pain and tears.
Castulo pushed Santos into a room where Fat Max is waiting. Max tells Santos that the only way they are gong to fix things is to have one of them die and for Santos he has bad luck because he is going to die.
Soledad freaks some more and runs out of the room. Emilio screams at the doctor. Orlando goes up to Emilio to offer a comforting hand but Emilio lashes out at him and shoves him down on the couch. The doctor looks sad while Emilio cries.
Luba uses a molcajete to grind some herbs. She tastes her mixture and claims it could raise the dead. She decides it needs one more herb. She starts to looks for it in her cave and comes up empty. Its missing. She leaves with Tonky to go find the missing herb.
Soledad cries over Alinas dead body. She repeatedly asks why?!?? She scolds herself saying she should have fought more.
Don Loco asks Thelma what is taking so long. Thelma tells him that Alina died.
Max tells Santos that he warned him to stay away from Rosita. Santos tells him he can’t believe he is doing this to his own son. Max starts in on how he doesn’t have any kids when the door slides open. We see the end of a shotgun and hear a gun shot. Everyone eyes are real large. Who was shot?
Don Loco is shocked/confused with the news of Alinas death. Thelma offers that perhaps sadness killed her. Don Loco emphatically states that sadness does not kill. Thelma is not so sure; he should ask Soledad who is crying over Alina’s body. She asks Loco if maybe at the bottom of his heart he cared for Alina or does he have a heart of stone. Loco looks at her with confused eyes. Doesn’t he feel sorrow for Soledad? Loco stares off in space.
Max informs Ifigenio that Braulio killed Castulo. Castulo meanwhile is lying on the floor of the room bleeding from his back. Braulio claims he should have killed Castulo earlier when he learned it was he who raped Rosita. Rosita cries.
Luba hides with Tonky as they spy on the bad spiritual guys. She tells Tonky that they will tell her where to find the herbs to save Alina.
Soledad tells Alina that she will stay with her until the last moment. Emilio enters the room and Soledad tells him to get lost. She tells him to not get near her daughter. She knows what he did to her, he abused her, he raped her, and she loved him. She adored him. Emilio is shocked to hear this.
Luba warms the dirty creepy spiritual guys not to harm her. She says Tonky knows what to do as Tonky barks.
Emilio tells Soledad that he didn’t hurt Alina; his error was that he didn’t believe Alina. Soledad doesn’t care to hear his excuses. Orlando walks in and Emilio unleashes his fury on him. He tells Orlando its his fault that Alina is dead.
Santos tells Ifigy that Braulio saved him. Max is louder than Santos claiming that Braulio should be arrested for murdering Castulo. Never mind that Castulo was pointing his gun at Santos and about to kill him. Rosita begs for Braulio to not be arrested. She begs Max to leave him alone. Max laughs and saunters up to Rosita saying If you ask me……. Santos looses it and pushed Max down and away from Rosita. All the while Castulos dead eyes stare from the floor.
Soledad tells Orlando and Emilio she doesn’t care which one of the two is worse. She wants both out. Emilio swears it wasn’t him. Soledad looks at Alina and prays/thinks of all the pain Alina had to endure.
Jaime runs into Rosita and Santos as they are walking outside. He tells Rosita that since she is crying she must know the news. What news? The news that Alina is dead. Rosita falls to the ground crying.
Coral lectures Gaspar re: Thelma’s evilness.
Part Two
Vera continues her rant against Luba to the Singing Aunt. She believes that Thelma asked Luba to bewitch Alina. Thelma overhears Veras suspicions and adds to them telling Vera and the aunt that she did ask Luba to do this. She states that she doesnt doubt that Luba and Gaspar had something to do with the death of Alina. Way to go Thelma taking advantage of the servants fears.

i really cracked up when Braulio let Ifigy, the RANCH HAND for goodness sake, arrest him (the first guy to get arrested in Stupidville). He walked out like a little puppy that had just peed on the floor, his tail between his legs. Cindy
People sure like to lay down and die in this show. Maybe disorganized, stoned Luba put a spell on them, or maybe they got a hold of her pakalolo and got too high, that's why they just let themselves sink to the bottom of the swamp. At least there are no pesky bodies to dispose of like with huge Castulo.
I like Cindy's comment about Luba borrowing herbs from Thelma (the much meaner witch).
I know this sounds terrible, but when the Dr. announced that Duhlina had died I thought Oh Blessed Silence! Now only one whiner (Emilio) to listen to.
I'm still loving the idea of the
Gaspar/Coral hook-up. Don't forget he was one of the early contestants in Bailando so we know he can dance, kind of. At least he's strong enough to not drop Coral on her head like one of her other partners did.
Great recap Lynn! Extra brownie points for the molcahete link. My favorite is the Oinkahete.
I can’t believe that Thelma confronting Don Loco about HIS heart of stone. Kind of out of character! Probably she’s like Max, just wanting to mess with DL’s mind.
Well, is anyone sorry Castulo is dead? Darn shame that there were witnesses and Braulio is going to pay the consequences (even if he would have done it regardless).
Is anyone sorry the Cacique and his buddy are dead? Maybe Luba will be relieved enough that she can walk this earth again and not have to look over her shoulder all the time that she can live without lots of guilt. After all, she merely shoved the first guy and tried to save the Cacique. I think that should buy some “get out of guilt free” points for her (read that, “get out of jail free”).
“Maybe disorganized, stoned Luba put a spell on them, or maybe they got a hold of her pakalolo and got too high, that's why they just let themselves sink to the bottom of the swamp.” Sylvia, ROTFL! There’s that Kauai influence….I see you picked up the language fast…..
Will Luba have to dig Alina up to give her the antidote? Will she add grave-robbing to her list? Couldn’t help but wonder that as the funeral proceeded…..

No, I'm not sorry Castulo is dead, but I will miss his mindless flexing. I'm not liking the way they keep making the hunks disappear. Jose...gone, the first Hugo...gone, Castulo...gone. If they do anything to Gaspar or the Tonkster I'll be furious.
I'm also glad the Cacique and his buddy are gone. The Cacique is as mean and unreasonable as Don Loco.
"They were used in central California to grind the acorns from the California live oak tree. The live oak was made into a mush in the molcajete. A fire was made. Round stones were heated in the fire. The stones were dropped into tightly woven baskets until water boiled. Acorn "mush" (like "dumplings) was dropped into the boiling water.
I wasn't such a cook as to ask about seasoning then. Believe me, you, that when we tried it, it was bland city." Cindy
Fat Max! Hahahaha, I like that one!
