Acorralada #103 6/8/07 – Friday – Bruno Lingers On. And On.

Dimwit and Bruno continue to stare at each other wordlessly.

Isabel is still calling her friend Eugenia back to look at the newspaper article about the stolen baby.

Dimwit swears ad nauseam she's going to dump Max. Bruno makes her repeat it over and over. Bruno then says "Even at death's door I'm more powerful than you!"

Marfil tells Max she believes Bruno is going to tell them where the baby is. HA!

Fidiota goes to meet another new character, Rodrigo. He's allegedly the best criminal lawyer in Miami. Apparently he and Fidiota's dead husband were like brothers. Rodrigo is all smiles after seeing Fidiota again. She fills him in on her life since prison; she's an attorney and she found her daughters. She then asks for his help in defending Little Doormat. Rodrigo is all too happy to oblige.

Bruno continues to torment Dimwit. Dimwit continues to beg. Finally Bruno becomes apoplectic. DoK runs in and throws Dimwit out. Bruno laughs at Dimwit and says she'll NEVER tell Dimwit where Maxito is.

Mummy is standing in the waiting area when Maxi-Moron walks up. She is amazed he is walking so well. Guess the acid didn't work the way Doc Evil said it would. Mummy was hoping Max would still be blind. Dimwit runs out of Bruno's room and up to Max. She tells him the agreement she made Bruno, but Bruno didn't keep up her end of the bargain. Max isn't surprised. DoK walks up and summons them to his office. Mummy is taking this all in. Wow, Mini-Max is missing and Bruno won't tell them where to look!

Eugenia and Isabel put together the situation in which Bruno stole the Irascible baby. Apparently two brains are better than one. Eugenia reminds me of the heroine's mom in My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

Diablo is fretting that Bruno will implicate him in the baby-napping. Nancy the Ninny brings him juice. Apparently she plans to wait on him hand and foot in anticipation of Diablo dumping Dimwit and marrying her. Diablo lays it on thick and heavy. If she keeps his secret, he promises to dump Dimwit, fall in love with her, and marry her one day. They kiss. Ninny glows and Diablo glowers after she leaves. He mocks her after she leaves the room floating on cloud nine. Diablo really has no redeeming qualities.

DoK is talking with Maxi-Moron, Dimwit, and Marfil. Bruno's condition is too delicate for them to interrogate her any further. Marfil tries to hide a smirk. DoK says they are going to have to rely on the police to find their son.

Mummy comes to visit Mommy. Mummy throttles Mommy.

Rodrigo is still chatting up Fidiota. He's convinced Gaby will win her case and not have to go to jail. "Enough about business. You got a man?" Fidiota tells him about her heartbreaking situation with Pasta.

Sylvie, Mariposa, and the other transvestite are trading wigs. Mariposa gets the Lhasa Apso wig and Sylvie gets Mariposa's. Iggy and Camila are mocking this motley crew, but it's like a reunion of best friends. Mariposa grabs Sandy's hair to see if it's real. It is.

Mummy is still strangling Bruno and telling her to die. DoQ walks in and wants to know what's going on. Why is Mummy in Bruno's room? Do they know each other? Mummy says she walked into the wrong room by mistake. Mummy leaves and Mommy is crying "Deborita! My baby!" DoQ tells Bruno to calm down.

Granny M and Lala wheel Diablo into the waiting room where Maxi-Morose is sitting. "Any word from Bruno?" "Not a word," replies Max.

Eugenia and Isabel are still discussing what to do about the "brat." Isabel doesn't want to go to jail for "kid"napping. They decide to wait for Bruno to return. They refer to her as being crazier than a goat on skates "una cabra en patines."

Speaking of crazy, the scene at the jail continues with Sylvie telling them about Maxi-Moron's and Dimwit's missing child. That's good news to Doc Evil and Camila, who hope the baby is never found. More CFM shoes are thrown from across the hallway.

Rodrigo is still putting the moves on Fidiota. She deserves to love and be loved. The Violin of Vicissitude saws away in the background.

Dimwit joins the cozy little wake. Diablo says that perhaps they should face the possibility that Mini-Max may never be seen again. Maxi-Morose tells him to shut up and not make any more stupid comments.

Eugenia is trying to get Isabel to turn the baby over to the police. Isabel is afraid she'll get in trouble. She's already lost her nursing license thanks to the authorities. Eugenia leaves to feed her kids lunch. If they baby is still there when she returns, she's going to take the baby to authorities herself! OoD. Isabel chews on her lip.

Lunkhead is studying his lines and waxing poetic over Gaby and how badly he treated her in the past. We get a flashback of Gaby, pre-makeover. She's crying as she's leaving the Irascible Mansion, and he's crying for being such a spineless schmuck who can't stand up to his mother. His little reverie is broken up when Pillow appears and wants to help him. She appears contrite; although I'm sure she's got a plan.

The wake continues. The conversation is so boring I can't help but notice the paint-by-numbers artwork on the walls. Diablo should take a cue from the colors.

Isabel is re-reading the article. They've listed numbers to call. What's an Evil Nurse to do?

Fidiota has apparently fended off Rodrigo with a stick. She's now home and wants to know the latest. Nada. Every time I see Nancy, she's in the same white shirt with her bra showing through. The poor girl apparently hasn't even warranted the attention from the Wardrobe Department. Come to think of it, given what Yolanda has been stuck wearing, I suppose Nancy is lucky. The phone rings. It's Isabel. . .

Pillow wants to be friends with Lunkhead. He can count on her. She feels bad about all the dirty, rotten things she done to him. Lunkhead tells her not to worry. Clearly he's over her. They agree to be friends, he can call her any time he needs her. She then brings up wanting to start over with a clean slate.

Isabel wants to talk to Dimwit about the baby. OoD.

Princess Fiona is still lounging on the bed dressed in a leopard print teddy. She is remembering all the wonderful moments she had with Max before he shacked up with Marfil. We see a flashback to Max and Princess Fiona in bed. He says he needs to be straight with her. He loves her, but he's not in love with her. "Those are two distinct things," he counsels. She tells him she loves him. She's sad that he's going to marry Marfil. Back in the present, Princess Fiona is still going on and on about Max's kisses and how she's never been able to forget him, even after marrying boring Cousin Eddie. Blech, as Nina would say.

Pillow is still trying to get Lunkhead back, but he's clearly not interested. Apparently her charms are no longer working on Lunkhead. He only wants Little Doormat, even if Little Dormat is engaged to Kike. Finally Pillow gives up and leaves.

Fidiota is trying to get info out of Isabel, but Isabel will only speak to Dimwit.

Marfil goes into to see Bruno. Bruno tells her Debora is alive. Marfil is impactada.

Mummy is laughing that no one will believe Bruno if Bruno says she saw Debora.

Fidiota is STILL trying to get Isabel to tell her about Mini-Max. Isabel is not budging. Finally Isabel hangs up. Fidiota tells Gaby and Ninny that she was just speaking with a woman who either has Maxito, or knows where he is.

Just as Mummy predicted, Marfil doesn't believe Bruno. Bruno is beside herself.

Fidiota calls Max's cell phone. Dimwit needs to come home immediately. A woman called about Mini-Max and refused to speak to anyone but Dimwit. Did I mention Max has on a shirt that is three sizes too small for him? It's pastel. Dimwit rushes out with Max and Diablo yells at his mom and Granny M to hurry up and take him home.

Isabel is in a dither. She doesn't want to spend the rest of her life in jail for kidnapping.

Fidiota, Little Doormat, and Ninny are trying to speculate about the woman who called.

Eugenia shows up at Isabel's apartment. Isabel says she called the parents but they weren't home. She plans to call back later.

Emili-Oh is trying to make Caramel realize that Puncho is a tool who doesn't deserve a woman as wonderful as her. She can't help it. She loves only Puncho. The Violin of Vicissitude plays a pathetic tune.

Puncho shows up at Perfumes 'R Us hollering for the Munequito de Pastel. He brings new meaning to the expression, "making a scene." He's come to remove Emili-Oh's teeth! Beatriz doesn't know what to make of him.

Dimwit can't stand the wait. She keeps asking why Fidiota doesn't have more info. She's going to die from nerves!

Puncho is still yelling. Beatriz tries to get him to calm down, but it's useless. He's calling Emili-Oh every name in the book. Finally Emili-Oh hears him and is prepared to do battle. Caramel begs him not to make a scene.

Eugenia is trying to give Isabel the phone to call the baby's parents again.

Everyone is gathered in the living room of Psycho Mansion waiting for the phone to ring. Finally it rings and everyone jumps out of their skin. Isabel comes through. Isabel tells Dimwit that Bruno dropped off the baby and never returned. Dimwit wants to know where her baby is.

Credits roll.

Comments:
I don't know what I liked better in this episode: the prison scene, where the transvestites and Sylvia banded together to throw things at Camila and Iggy, Puncho's community-theater Brando imitation when he came to the fabrica, or Diego's kiss with Nancy. Or the cozy bedroom scene between Max and Fiona.

I realize I misinterpreted the other day when Fiona was first introduced. I was going through it so fast I didn't pick up there was a past relationship with Max. How did this lemon-sucking drip get so many girls?

And what's with this Rodrigo character? He looks about Diana's age, so how could he have been a friend of the husband?

Oh, and by the way, haven't they heard of caller ID? How come they can't trace that phone call? Or how come Fidiota didn't give Isabel the cell phone number so she could call Diana directly?
 

So many highlights to choose from! I'm kind of liking the transvestites, myself. Of course Mummy throttling Mommy was rather amusing. I still have chills just thinking of drippy Maxi-Morose as a babe magnet.

I thought Rodrigo was about Fidiota's age, they are both in their early 30's. Actually, was Rodrigo a friend or perhaps a mentee or employee? All I know is he was sure putting forward his best moves.

For once, in defense of the writers, I thought Fidiota wanted to give Isabel Dimwit's cell phone, but that Isabel didn't want it. I may be wrong.

There are so many things wrong, on so many levels, it's hard to even question any of the absurdities any more.
 

You may be right Karen. I was watching without subtitles. As my Spanish is getting better, I am trying to practice aural comprehension. If I miss something on this show, who cares?
 

is this the last episode? what happens next please keep posting!
