Duelo de Pasiones - Wed May 30 - The Rise of Intocable!
Emilio remembers Alina as he looks at a heart necklace like “The Necklace” he gave to Alina. He tells Thelma that the necklace doesn't suit her. She suggests a bracelet which he buys. As he is buying the bracelet Thelma turns to see Alina. She goes out to the opening of the store to see if she can see more but the crowd blocks her view. Alina and Rodrigo walk out of sight.
Mauricio or jealous fiancé of Dra. Loca (shout out to Margaret for the great name!) bugs the doctor about her lack of attention to him. He wants to know why she introduced him as a friend to her patient and not as his fiancé. She tells him that she doesn't want her patients to know about her personal life. Mauricio kisses the doctor and she thinks of Don Loco. He leaves and she thinks to herself “why can’t I forget his (Locos) kiss?”
Loco tells scary prison hit man guy all about Elias like where to find him etcetera. He gives the guy lana ($) to finish Elias off.
Soledad and Coral are almost ready to open their new boutique. They only are short a week. Coral is excited to give a big opening party. Elias talks with Soledad and she tells him of how she wants to see Marianna. She knows that Marianna knows who wrote “The Letter”.
Meanwhile Marianna is grabbing a glass of water. Malena and the good bow tie wearing doctor cheer her on. She tells them (she talks like a robot) that she wants to go to Veracruz.
Soledad tells how she wants Marianna to clear things up.
Rodrigo drops Alina off at Corals just as Angel is driving up. Angel runs up and kisses Alina and Rodrigo’s eyes explode in jealousy. He puts his arm around Alina to show ownership. Angel explains that he has been friends with Alina for a long time. Rodrigo admits he hasn’t known Alina all that long. He leaves, jealous, with suspicions mounting in his small little brain.
Marianna tells how she wants to see Alfonsia to confront her about “the letter”, and the cofre and her blackmailing of Alvaro. The weird but goofy bow tie wearing doctor tells her that he can’t leave the hospital to do that. Malena tells her she will go with her.
Max comes to visit Emilio being his usual creepy self. Emilio gets his feathers ruffled at the sight of the snickering Fat Max. He immediately wants to know what Max is doing there.
Angel tells Alina that he was told he would die.
Elias leaves Corals house after making plans to take both Coral and Soledad to lunch the following day.
Rodrigo is outside of Corals hanging around talking to himself about who is Angel? What is he to Alina?
Max informs Emilio that he is ready to help Don Loco. He will testify all sorts of things about Emilio, like how Emilio took advantage of Locos daughter, etc. But he will be help Emilio out if Emilio will forget about their little problem. HE will happily switch to Emilio’s side. Emilio snaps hearing Max’s blackmail attempt. He tries to push him around as he tells him to get out. Max leaves but tells Emilio that he will be Alvaro’s first victim of revenge when he gets out of jail.
Angel tells Alina how he still wants to marry her. She tells him she can’t, she still loves Emilio. She can’t forget him.
The scary hit man guy tells another bad guy all about Elias by phone. He sets up the hit.
Thelma tells her aunt that she can’t get the idea that Emilio talked with Luba out of her head. She then goes on about how Emilio is starting to fall into her hands. She gloats about how well things are going for her. She decides she misses her friends and is going to go to the "Club" tomorrow to see her friends.
Scary guy informs Loco that the hit is going to go down. Loco hands some more over to scary guy. He tells him he will get the rest when he has proof that Elias is gone.
Emilio gets a phone call from Angel’s doctor. The doctor goes on and on about how well Angel is doing. Emilio tries to congratulate the doctor for his help but the guy tells him its not his work but Angels. In fact Angel is doing so well he doesn't need to see him until next week. Emilio hangs up the phone just as Angel walks into the room explaining that he has been with his doctor all day. Emilio gets suspicious. We break for an ad. When we return Emilio has not confronted Angel about his lie but is instead chatting about his visit with Max. Angel gets up to leave and lies to Emilio again saying that he has to spend the whole following day with his doctors. Emilio thinks to himself where is Angel going?
Two guys jump Gaspar in a dark street. At first Gaspar fights them off, once picking up one of the men and twirling the guy over his head. But Gaspar stops kicking the guys butts to pick up his money and to whine. They take that opportunity to jump on him, kicking him down, beating him into the street. They grab his money and leave him crying in the street. A man who has been watching this lovely little scene walks over to Gaspar to help him up.
Rodrigo’s daughter wants a good night story. Her dad does on about a prince falling for a princess who is exactly like the princess he had before but died. The little girl doesn't like this story and tells her dad to not tell it.
Alina tells Soledad and Coral about Angel’s marriage proposal and how she feels bad to not accept. Coral brings up Emilio and how Emilio must be suffering. Alina snaps that it is for the best that Emilio doesn't know she is alive. He is married and he has a kid. She is not going to be blamed for the kid growing up not having a father. Coral argues that Thelma doesn't deserve Emilio.
Rodrigo whines to his nanny about Angel. The suspicions are getting the best of him. The nanny tells him to go ask if he is so worried. Rodrigo lights up and decides to do just that.
Elias gets out of a taxi and is about killed when a car revs up and tries to run him over. He is saved at the last minute by codependent lonely Rodrigo.
The guy who helped Gaspar tells Gaspar that he could make a lot of money in the Lucha Libre. Luba comes up out of no where and starts to yell at the guy.
Elias is grateful to Rodrigo for saving him. Rod explains how the car wasn’t driving fast by accident but was trying to kill Elias. Elias gives a scared look that looks like a smile because his mustache is so damn long on the sides. Gross!
Luba argues with the guy but stops to think that maybe if Gaspar was in the Lucha Libre he wouldn’t think about Thelma and his cachoritto. She agrees that Gaspar can join the Lucha Libre but warns the guy that if any harm comes to Gaspar the guy will have to deal with her.
Rodrigo and Elias figure out that Don Loco was probably behind the murder attempt.
Emilio remembers kissing Alina on the beach. He feels bad for doubting her. Thelma comes into his room while he is in his memory fest. He tells her to get out. He will never forgive her.
Thelma thinks that if he won’t love her for the good then he will love her for the bad.
Elias fills Rodrigo in on Alina and how she was hurt by a guy but that Angel is just a friend.
Gaspar meets his new Lucha coach. The coach gives him the name "Ïntocable” for his fighting name. Luba cries for joy or for fear that he will be a fighter again.
Max ends up at the Devils Cave flirting with Corals friend. He gives the girl a drink and then asks her about Coral. She freely gives him Corals address.
Rosita and Santos get married in La Iglesia.
Emilio is trying to leave the house for the day when their chauffer tells him that he cant take him because he is waiting for Angel. Angel shows up and says he is on his way to see his doctors. Emilio gets in another car to follow them.
Thelma sees Rodrigo at the Club. He stops to chat with her. He tells her he is starting to see a new girl. He drops Alina’s name and Thelma spits out her drink. She asks Rodrigo to say the girls name again and he tells her he is seeing Alina Montellano.

Oh yeah, the recap, you made me lose my train of thought...codependent, lonely Rodrigo, haha! He is SO that. I like that his smart kid didn't buy his thinly veiled attempt to weasle Alina into their lives.
I was very excited to see Gaspar throw the thugs around. It sounds like we might actually see some luchador action, no? Who cares if it's blatantly contrived? Not I! It would be funny to see Gaspar fight, then if he starts to get beaten Luba could jump in the ring and take her turn wailing on the other guy, or staring him down maybe. She would be Lucha Luba.
And gee, what a coincidence that Thelma knows Rodrigo. I guess the cat's really out of the bag now, but maybe she won't tell Emilio. No, she probably won't. They're going to drag their reunion out until the bitter end I'll bet.
Oh WHY does Mariana think she has to go to Veracruz? She can't get her business done from DF? Sure as shootin' they'll try to kill her there.
Ha ha, great recap Lynn, definitely worth the wait. Can you tell I was just staring at my monitor waiting for your recap to pop up? What can I say, it was a hard day and I knew you would give good entertainment!
Does everyone in Puebla know everyone? Apparently they do. And Rodrigo shows up like magic when Elias is in the process of getting killed. Very handy.
Maybe Luba will be the Lucha Mama, like that football player's mother who advertises for Campbell's soup. I can just see her now, casting spells on all the opponents...

Loved the in-ring action. "Intocable" did a respectable job of being Gaspar getting stomped by Shark Boy and the gang... landing all flat and stuff, then coming to life when Gaspar got tired of having the hurt put on him, and still holding back to be Gaspar the Ex-Lucha rather than the sleek professional he really is. Not bad.
Hopefully Rodrigo won't go completely off the deep end. Don't we have enough psychos as it is?
Never thought anyone could make me as physically ill as Maldita Thelma. Congrats, Dra. Loca, ma'am.
I am a doofus. Please accept my apologies. I'll be much more careful in future. :(
Sylvia I forgot to use Bat Neck to describe the scary jail guy. I kept trying to remember but my brain matter wouldnt help me out. Im going to have to blame the mexican martinis again for that.
Elías has money; why doesn't he have a car?
Rodrigo's daughter looks just like a student I used to have. His fairytale was too forced and not original at all.
Rosita and Santos' wedding was kind of sad because it looked as if there were no guests. He looked great with his hair slicked back and a charro suit, kind of like his daddy Big Max.
