Duelo de Pasiones - Wed June 20
Gaby cries after her kidnapper (Milli Vanilli look alike) leaves her locked in a room. She eats old looking quesadillas.
Adela serves her mistresses food as Coral, Alina and Soledad all discuss the hunt for Gaby. A nurse/officer from the Mexican Military arrives at Corals bearing a letter of admittance for Alina into the Military Nursing school. She is to start first thing the next day.
The 4 Stooges; Emilio, Angel, Frank and Rodrigo spy on the kidnappers supposed hideout wondering what to do.
Claudia is almost raped by her mothers boyfriend who also happens to be the ring leader of the kidnappers. She escapes because the phone rings and Rosundo goes to answer the call. Claudia overhears him discuss a ransom for Gaby.
Hugo and Alfonsia argue about the cofre and whats in it, and whether they trust each other. They don’t. They say words and threats to each other. Its stupid filler.
Luba talks to Gaspar as he lies in his hospital bed. She waxes on her infinite problems to which Gaspar overhears. He wakes trying to comfort her but Luba denies crying. She tells him he knows that she never cries. Gaspar worries that Marianna, who is sleeping behind a sheet that separates their two beds in the hospital, wont help him get better if Luba tells her what is in the cofre. Gaspar wants to know what bad things are in the cofre. He worries that if Marianna hears about the cofre she still wont donate her kidney (riñón) to him. Gaspar warns Luba that after she tells the truth about the cofre she could be thrown into the street.
Cluadia runs out of the apartment building where she has just been with Renoldo. She runs to the 4 stooges informing them that Rosundo has the girl. Ricardo plays like he is going to run into the building to save his daughter but is held back by the men. Emilio tells him they need to go plan.
Alina is hesitant to be happy about her Nursing School acceptance cause she doesn’t want to leave Rodrigo while he is dealing with the Gaby kidnapping.
Alina goes to Rodrigo's house and chats with the nanny. The Nanny tells her that she thinks Rodrigo loves her because she is soooo much like his dead wife Elena. Not that she has ever met her, she is just going off stories Rodrigo has told her about the woman.
Claudia fills the 4 stooges in on Rosundo at someone's office. The men start talking about plans to rescue Gaby. They will grab Rosundo after he plays pool (Billiards). Angel tells the men that he knows he's not in the military like they are but he would like to help. Emilio gives him the eye but tells him he can help.
Gaby cries about wanting to see her Daddy. Milli Vanilli kidnapper rocks out to some music until he hears a radio announcement about the ransom being offered for the kid. He makes Gaby write down words on a piece of paper as she sniffles.
The Nanny tells Alina that she is sure Rodrigo has seen other good qualities in her besides those that match Elena. Alina reminisces on how hard it is to forget past loves.
We are treated to a tour of the hospital system.
Gaspar is shuffled off for dialysis. Luba freaks not understanding what's happening to her son. A doctor explains to her that he will get dialysis for the toxins in his kidney. Luba gets lightheaded as she watches the dialysis.
The kidnappers head off towards a park while the 4 Stooges follow in a Volvo. Emilio orders the men to separate. Frank is to go with Rodrigo while he and Angel head off towards their destination.
Frank and Rodrigo follow the bad guys that were in the part to an apartment. They bust in after them and hold them hostage with their shiny guns.
Gaby is forced to call her Daddy by Milli Vanilli. Alina answers the phone but Gaby continues talking like she would to her father reading the note the bad guy made her write. She tells Alina to come or they will kill her.
Rodrigo riughs up one of the kidnappers when he realizes Gaby is not there. Alina calls him on her cell phone. Rodrigo says he will go home to hear what she has to say. He leaves Frank holding all three men hostage, waiting for the cops.
Milli Vanilli takes Gaby to a beautiful black girls dressing room. He wants her to hide Gaby for him.
Luba loves on Gaspar as if he has just gone through some horrible surgery not just the dialysis treatment we say him receiving. I think she is getting a little too wound up.
Angel and Emilio follow Rosundo to a strip club/dancing club where we see the beautiful black girl.
Rodrigo tires to blame everything on Emilio when he gets back to his house to hear what Gaby said to Alina. Worry worry Frustration Hate pours out of his mouth.
Thelma takes the baby while her Singing Aunt is sleeping. The Aunt wakes up telling Thelma to leave the child with her until she returns Gaby. Thelma snaps saying its her baby and besides she has bigger problems. Orlando knows everything. He knows that Gaspar is the father of her baby.
As Coral and Soledad worry the Doctora Aida arrives.
Emilio and Angel watch Rosundo talk with the black woman. Rosundo tells the woman to take him to her dressing room and as they turn to leave Emilio lays his arm on Rosundo and tells him that he wants to accompany them also.
Emilio tells Rosundo that he wants "La Nina". The pretty black woman admits the girl is in her dressing room and she doesn't want any trouble. They go to the dressing room and find Gaby. She cries in happiness. There might be a few scuffles during this time but basically Emilio uses his gun to hold Rosundo and Milli Vanilli (MV just returned) hostage against a wall. Angel tenderly comforts Gaby as Emilio is the big hero.
Doctora Aida wants to know if Soledad and Elias are lovers. This pisses SOledad off. Coral leaves Soledad to talk alone with the doctora telling her to just make a noise and she will be right there to help her.
The Singing Aunt tells Thelma not to cry. They talk about what will happen when Emilio learns the truth. The Singing Aunt tells Thelma to have confidence in her.
Orlando arrives at La Rinconada to flush out more secrets.
Raquel (who is the singer of the shows theme song in real life) cries over a man named Vicente. Raquel vows to be strong. I know I've been gone but what's going on here?!?!
Rodrigo decides to take off to find his daughter just as a call comes in informing them that Emilio has saved the day. He has Gaby sana y salva! Safe and sound! Rodrigo happily tells Alina that Emilio has saved Gaby.
Soledad gets mad at the Doctora for wanting her to meet with Alvaro on the heels of what she did to her in court. The Doctora tells Soledad she also wants Soledad to tell Alvaro that Alina is alive.
Emilio takes Gaby to his house instead of her own house. Huh? Thelma walks into the room asking him how the search for the girl is going. Gaby spies Thelma and stands up with fear recognition in her small face.

What a boring strip club. Did you get a load of that pole dancer? Was she sleepwalking or what? I could do a better job than she could! Whatever happened to pride in one's job?
Ha! Milli Vanilli...perfect! I knew he reminded me of somebody.
Don't forget, Dra. Aida is A Professional. She says so. I don't hold out much hope of a cure for DonLoco with her on the case.
Wasn't that weird that Emilio took Gaby to his own house? I simply do not know what to make of it. I cannot comment further on it.
Lynn, last night was the first time we've ever seen Raquel and the dead guy. We think maybe he will be the kidney donor for Gaspar but we don't really know.
Welcome back! We missed you but Schoolmarm Jeanne did a great recap while you were gone and Margaret added her astute observations into the mix as well.
Ultimos Capitulos!!!
Couldn't agree more about the pole dancer. Obviously the producers of this show have never seen The Sopranos or Osotio forgot about how he always had Niuka dancing around. It was hilariously awful.
WTF was Emilio thinking to take Gaby to his house. Can this man BE any dumber?
Terri
I agree with Sylvia that Claudia kneeing Rosendo in the balls was a highlight of the episode. Also, Milli Vanilli! LOL, I never thought of that but you are so right! That 80s pirate look! And him rocking out to tunes on the radio! Hillarious!
I couldn't figure out what he was trying to have Gaby do. If he's illiterate and can't write a ransome note, then he has to dictate the letter. He's mute so he can't dictate. He's not illiterate because he was forcing her hands to write the letter he wanted. Why couldn't he just write it himself, if he was going to have her read it over the phone?
I wouldn't complain about Emilio taking Gaby to his house. If this were mid show instead of ultimos capitulos, we have to wait weeks for Thelma and Gaby to meet.
Nice tour of dialysis facility and also Luba making a psa for organ donation. Sorry, Luba, your organs are probably a little too used up to be donatable anyway.
This raquel woman seemed to pack a whole storyline in with her: Her husband committed suicide (the guy with her said he had a lot of debts and other problems?) AND she's pregnant. Also the desciption said that that the hacienda she was at was in Sierra Escondida? Did I read that right? Why have we never heard of these people? Deus ex ultimos capitulos.
“Emilio tells Rosundo that he wants "La Nina". The pretty black woman admits the girl is in her dressing room and she doesn't want any trouble.” Couldn’t help but wonder if she won’t have more problems because she snitched. I wouldn’t want to get those bad guys in trouble. Let someone else do that dirty work, the bad guys are meaner than the army or the cops.
I can’t WAIT to see Gaby bust Thelma tonight and see how she tries to weasel out of this one. I hope Emilioooo won’t cover up for her.
“Raquel (who is the singer of the shows theme song in real life) cries over a man named Vicente. Raquel vows to be strong. I know I've been gone but what's going on here?!?!” Don’t feel alone, amiga. We’re all wondering qué the heck this is about, too. Speculation that her husband dies and Gaspar gets kidneys….
Welcome back !
Jeanne
Luba sweating out Gaspars treatment was too much for me. She was so strong at the begining of this show and now she is turning into an ignorant wimp. I thought she was a healer who would understand these new fangled Western Medicine tecniques!
Also the whole kidnapping seemed boring to me. Rodrigo wanting to save his daughter but doing nothing, Emilio having all the good scenes, Angel patiently waiting for his brother to garner the glory. And Claudia taking on a sleezy bad guy all by her baby self. Please!
Cant wait for Gaby to take on Thelma though. Should be good!
PS the drive from Mexico to Acapulco is through mountains which are incredible. I finally understood the Valle de Bravo area that Heridas de Amor was showing. Cool spring weather. WOW!
The reason Emilio took Gaby to his house? Let's see... the writers couldn't think of a realistic way to get them both face to face with Maldita Thelma before their deadline. Yeah.
Milli Vanilli?? ROFLMAO!!
Gaspar in the dialysis chair made me cry (really). I've been caretaker to my younger brother (cancer), my dad (brain tumor /paralysis), and my mom (cancer) for several years now. The monitors, the tubes, the sounds... just kinda got to me all of a sudden. It didn't help that I'm in love with Gaspar, too. Ugh.
Welcome back, lynn.
I'm needing some Tonkey. What gives?
Wasn't Tonky in a scene with Gaby in Coral's front yard? I remember Gaby playing with him while Alina and Rodrigo talked.
Emilio's finally a hero after more than 100 episodes. #AboutTime
When Orlando arrived at the Rinconada, I thought they were finally going to show Santos, but Ifigenio said that he and Rosita are in San Mateo right now. #WhatALetdown
I also think the new folks are Gaspar's organ donors. Why else would they introduce new characters? Unless they want a possible suitor for Rodrigo. #WhoKnows
Not only was the stripper bored to death; she didn't even look like a stripper.
