Caray, Caray!

Show opens with a sad Esme in the cell, not believing Diego's forged reply. Auggie wants to know if the letter says its bad news but Esme only says it’s a lie isn’t it. She thinks it’s a joke and cries herself into a faint. Auggie looks worried and calls out to her from the prison bars (ulcer count -1).

Back to Zorro with the fire torch and Monty and men just standing there. Monty tells his men to lower the weapons; the matter is between Zorro and him. Meanwhile Bernie is hiding under the bridge/ramp? Monty talks about Zorro deeds and these recent attacks are starting to seem a little personal (wow, I guess there are a few actual synapses working in that weasel brain of his). Zorro tells Monty to leave the roadway cause everything is going to blow. Bernie tries to light the match but it’s a no go, oh boy things aren’t looking good. The guards run off and Monty orders them not to move. Monty thinks it’s a joke but Zorro isn’t playing. There’s sword play between the two while Bernie is just staring at the match and fuse.

Piza arrives to the barn and Pito tells him he did all he could but unfortunately SK died.

At the de la Vegas MP is talking to Dena. MP tells Dena that as human beings were aren’t able to understand the mysteries of life and death. Maybe Esme fulfilled her mission on this earth. Dena says she tells herself that but she feels like she’s lying to herself and can’t do it anymore. Dol barges in the room and tells everybody that FS and Alej are fighting in the living room. Everybody is in shock and Dena mentions she has to stop Fernando. I have to point out that she can barely get out of bed so I am not sure what she expects to do except possibly faint again. MP counsels her against it but Dena tells MP she has to leave through the back door. Dol helps Dena out the room.

In the living room FS and Alej are punching each other out until Dena orders them to stop. All of the sudden it looks like a cluster of people enter the room as Juan and some hacienda workers appear out of nowhere, Dena and Dol must have gotten them when they left the bedroom? Alej orders Dena back to her room and then tells Juan to get him and the men out. Dena wants to stay there and begs Alej to calm down; fighting isn’t the way to solve the problems going on. Alej agrees and FS tells him when and where but he’s there on government matters and asks for Alej to hear him out. Dena holds the two men apart while everybody is just impactado to some degree.

Meanwhile MP has managed to escape the hacienda prays for everybody in the hacienda. A peon tells MP the coach is ready and leads her to it.

Auggie is inside the jail trying get Esme to awaken. She punches him out (darn that’s a whallop) stares at him for like ever, just run darn it what are u waiting for?

Back to the triage/cabin, where Piza is holding a knife under SK’s nose (confirming she’s really dead I take it). There’s no fog on the knife and no pulse, SK is dead. Piza points a gun a Pito and blames him for her death, his only salvation. Pito begs for his life and says he promises not reveal anything besides he needs a gravedigger, he’s a good one. Pito then tells Piza its always useful relying on a gravedigger, pharmacist, barber (he forgot surgeon, forensic scientist, chiropractor and dentist). Piza tells SK it wasn’t her destiny to die.

Back at the prison, apparently Auggie is up and grabbing Esme by the ankles. You mean to tell me she didn’t leave?! WTH did I switch to Duelo by mistake? It’s after 9 o’clock and since we aren’t near caves it’s not Duelo so I guess pre-Prelle’d Alina and Esme are channeling each other. Esme whacks Auggie with a bucket tells Diego/the air that she wants to hear it to her face and then leaves.

Cue Amor Gitano

Back to the Monty/Zorro sword fight. Monty asks Zorro if he’s planning on destroying his munions. We cut to Bernie striking the match and lighting the fuse. Monty and Zorro share some words and stare at each other.

Esme is running around the prison and hits a locked door before grabbed from behind by Auggie. He tells her to shut up or they both die as two other guards open the closed door don’t notice them and walk by.

Back to the living room where FS is shouting blaming Alej for brining the MC back into town. Alej tells FS that MC is here on state matters but if he and Monty are united then they will pay. Alej accuses FS of of knowing Monty’s involvement in Esme’s death and his inaction. FS shouts back, you think it pleases me that Esme is dead. Well FS if you haven’t acted against Monty what other conclusion is there? FS tells Alej he ignores the motives for his attitude meanwhile Dena is just looking at them. Dena begs FS to stop and faints. Alej picks her up as FS looks worried and asks what’s wrong with her (ulcer count -2). Alej tells FS he doubts he cares what happens to her.

Auggie tells Esme they are both prisoners in the same way are completing the same sentence. He tells Esme that if she dies, he’ll die next. Auggie tells Esme that he doesn’t know what the letter says but it must’ve been something grave for her to hurt him like she did. Auggie tells her they’ll go back to the cell and if she wishes she call tell him everything. Esme nods her head. Auggie tells her never to do that again.

Back the triage which has been converted to funeral home. Pito covers SK in a blanket and Piza tells him that he’s going to dig a grave behind the cabin and put SK in it. Pito tells Piza that he’s going to need a coffin. Piza says there’s no time but Pito says its important being that when body starts to decompose it’ll attract animals. Pito offers to bring one from his house but Piza says its risky what will he say when people ask. Pito tells him he’s discreet he never reveals anything about his patents (being that she’s “dead” is she still a patient or is now a corpse?) Piza tells Pito if he reveals anything that happened, somebody is going to have to bury him (Pito). Pito begs SK to resisit, he’s coming back for her.

Back to more sword playing with Monty and SK and that fuse is still going (did they pick the longest fuse ever, was it measured in yards?). Zorro manages to knock Monty’s sword away and Monty chases after it. Zorro pulls out his whip and smacks Monty’s face with it, ties his wraps it around his feet and we see a nice shot of Monty being dragged by Tornado. BOOM! The munitions exploded and Monty sees it burn.

Alej places a fainted Dena in bed, he asks Dol to take care of her. Alej tells Dena he’s sorry but he has take care of matters with FS. Dol tells Alej to becareful.

Meanwhile we have Olmos spotting a white carriage traveling into town with a lady who looks familiar; she looks like somebody I saw in a movie. “Selenia, the sorceress.” Olmos can’t believe she’s come to live in LA.

Mangle spots Dol leaving Dena’s room and asks what’s going on she heard ruckus and the workers are at the door. Dol rehashes about Alej and FS the Govr, her father (is there another Govr? does she have another father?). Mangle is impactada that her father is here. Dol asks her to go to her bedroom as nobody knows how it will turn out.

FS tells Alej that even though he doesn’t believe him he worries about Dena’s health. Alej tells FS that Esme’s death has affected Dena and he can’t believe Monty killed her. FS shows what a good father he is saying that Esme was asking for it. Alej accuses FS and includes him in Esme’s death (he says some word I didn’t catch but that’s what I think he said). They rehash the SK imprisonment thing. Alej tells FS that everyting that gets close to him withers or dies. FS says that can’t change the past but he is also there to make an offer. Being that they have to live in LA, Monty has agreed to withdraw charges. Alej doesn’t care but FS brings on the Monty is hiring more men and getting munitions (not anymore as you will soon find out) and sooner or later will take over the hacienda and kill them. Alej tells FS that Marquesa has removed some of the power and some more that I didn’t catch and FS tells him that Marquesa has no army and by time Mexican cavalry comes in Monty is going to whatever he wants. Alej looks like he’s really considering this. Drat.

Pito and Piza are looking for coffins and Pito asks for Piza’s opinion on a small looking one if you ask me. Piza says its fine and tells him that a carriage will be waiting for him. He does not want to be associated with the coffin and will meet at the funeral home/cabin. Piza warns him not to tarry and Pito begs SK to wait.

Zorro gives gypises a bag dough? and tells them they will be able to make it to San Diego. Jonas asks about SK and Zorro fills them in the footsteps and tells them she may be alive. Hermes says she has to be and lists everything she has suffered (more rehashing). Suzi/Azucena asks about Renzo could he be in prison? Zorro assures, he is not el Callao (how would Zorro know this, he hasn’t searched cuz if he did he woulda found Esme). Laisha says Zorro is a real man not like Diego (hehehe). The only thing Esme has done is bring them bad luck. Suzi tells her to stop with hate but Laisha thinks now that Esme is dead their luck will get better. I totally want her in the whirlpool now.

Back to the prison were Esme gets locked in again. Auggie tells her can’t trust her anymore and. He wants to punish her but the headache isn't letting him think I guess because doesn’t know how. He tells Esme that’s she’s expecting a child but he has many so he knows who women get hormonal. Esme begs forgiveness and feels guilty. Auggie tells her she should be happy he’s taking care of her. Esme tells the air that he’s lost all hope and live without Diego.

Zorro enters the Batcave and congratulates Bernie and that everything went according to plan. Zorro gets a little dark and tells Bernie that at one moment he wanted Monty to burn with all his munitions. Diego says the best part of everything is that Monty lost the respect of his men. Zorro will become Monty’s worst nightmare.

At the prison, Esme reads the “letter”, My love, in the bottom of my heart I always knew you were alive. Don’t despair, Mangle and I are working to get you your freedom. Mangle can imagine how much you are suffering in your condition being that she is expecting my child.” Diego de la Vega. Esme tells the air, there is some error, somebody’s playing with her. I thought the note was something far worse and according to Diego Mangle is expecting his kid. However, Esme knows how Mangle feels about her so I would start calling into question the validity about her helping in the rescue.

Diego enters his room via the secret passage and finds a note with white rose on the bed. "Let’s make up. I invite you for a stroll, no tricks. Mangle." I would think the note is enough of a trick. The note brings a grey flashback of Esme sneaking into Diego’s room and giving him a white rose. They kiss to their song. More flashabacks to them together. Diego thought bubbles, “Even though you are not here nothing and nobody will take you out of my heart.” A song plays in the background, I think its MP & FS’s.

At the mission?, PT tells MP that ever since she was consecrated there have been lots of tests. MP can’t believe that FS is capable of attacking them live animals and if not for Zorro. PT tells MP that FS’s obsession is eating him inside. MP brings up the cofre and how he’s even crazier now. MP tells PT that FS (hehehe that just looks funny) and Alej were fighting at her visit to hacienda. PT tells MP that they may have to move the mission. MP refuses, they are the only hope the poor of LA have. PT thinks there is another reason, FS. MP tells him that she knows FS doesn’t have compassion but she feels like she can read his heart and deep inside he’s good. All he needs is an opportunity. Lady, he’s had many and he reverts back. PT tells her that the one opportunity is going to be the end of her and her vocation. MP tells PT that she’s Mother Superior and renounced the world and life. She is capable of cutting the ties that bind her to FS. (You kept the cofre with your courtship mementos, forgive me I am dubious) PT tells her he belives her, he’s seen her struggles, pray for wisdom and intelligence it ain’t going to be easy.

Alej tells FS he won’t forget all the damage he’s caused and he’ll again call him friend. Meanwhile Mangle is listening in by the door and is directly in Alej’s line of sight how he not sees her is beyond me. FS tells Alej he’s going to explain his actions and enter Mangle saying if he doesn’t she will. FS tells her to leave but she refuses and tells the whole SK story (rehash of what SK told Hermes in jail) but with Mangle claims the royal lineage part is false and paints SK as EVEEL and conniving. Alej apparentely never heard the story so he is shocked at all of this (he desperately needs to talk to Marquesa or Diego ASAP). Mangle then sidles up to papi dearest to say that he couldn’t forgive such betrayal. FS wants her to stop but she had to let them know what lead him to act that way and leaves. Man you could see the venom collecting in her teeth and I half expected to see a forked tongue come out of her mouth. **ssssssssss (my best imitation of a snake hiss)***. FS tells Alej its all true and Alej tells him nothing excuses his behavior. FS wants to make a deal but Alej isn’t interested in any deal with him or Monty. FS tells him that it condemns them both, because his daughter and sister are a part of his family and he wants no harm on them. Hmpff whatever.

Pito puts SK in the coffin and tells Piza that a grave has to be dug up. Piza asks if they won’t nail coffin shut and Pito says not necessary. Piza orders him to seal it up, he’s going to dig the grave. Pito nails one nail and taps two other nails on the coffin. He begs SK to withstand a short moment longer they don’t have much time.

Sister Carola tells MP that some slaves and prisoners escaped the hands of traffickers. MP asks SC if Nutty was part of the escapees. SC tells her that she’s been praying ever since for that to be so. Meanwhile, Nutty and Renzo make it some inn with Camba. Renzo asks for room and food. The owner asks how they are paying and Nutty pleads with the owner and fills her in with their story. The owner thinks about it (complete with hmmm) and agrees to give them a room but they have to work, no freeloaders. They thank her for her kindness. Nutty wants to get food for Camba and Renzo reminds her to eat, calls her by her name, Ana Camila?. Renzo tells Nutty she is a fortunate woman, she has escaped. Nutty tells him he doesn’t know how she feels and Renzo tells her neither do you about me, you never ask about my life. Nutty apologizes and I see here the beginning of a relationship.

Pito meanwhile is finishing his job burying the coffin and Piza is satisfied with work. Pito tells him that he can go ahead, he’s going to plant flowers so as to camaloughe the terrain. Piza is okay with this and reminds him to keep his trap shut. Pito starts digging out SK telling her to resist with each shovel of dirt.

At the inn, the traffickers have found Camba lying outside. The slave trader asks Camba where are Renzo and Nutty, they are going to die. I gotta laugh because its not like Camba’s going to tell him they are inside getting to know each other, HELLO Camba doesn’t speak the language,

Back to Pito digging away meanwhile I am just freaking out thinking Piza is going walk up, oops forgot my gun, hey what are you doing? Pito keeps telling SK she has to hold on.

Diego runs into Mangle and asks if Dol told her about what happened. Mangle says yes but it looks like they are getting solved so that Monty doesn’t chase them anymore. Diego wants to go to them but Mangle says to leave them. She asks if he read the note. Diego says yes and no stroll. She laughs and calls him heard headed. Mangle tells him that their child deserves he not treat his mom bad. Mangle tells Diego, he doesn’t have to love her to have her whenever he wishes, she is wife and knows he will desire her real soon. Diego wants to be somewhere else.

Monty gets to the jail brandishing his whip and orders Esme’s cell be opened. He orders her chained, Esme is going to be punished. Looks like Monty wants to release some anger. I don’t know how much more evil I can take, something good has to happen eventually. Oops lost track of ulcers, oh well, otro dia another day.
