Caray, Caray!

Don Loco has the gall to say to the judge that he sentenced him without any proof, just the testimony, and they were all lying. I love to see this after months of “this flimsy note with no names on it is all the proof I need.” Live by the sword, die by the sword, Don Loco. Too bad for you. Crazy chick doctor storms off in a huff, but Elias takes the time to savor the moment.

Somehow Emilioooo already knows what happened with Don Loco’s sentencing, back at his house, he tells Angel that DL will spend a long time in jail. Angel then tries to get Emiliooo to go to the boutique’s opening party that night, he has a surprise for him. Emiliooo agrees to go. Does Alina know yet that she is being used as a surprise? Angel also says his condition is finally getting better, and he met a girl. Smiles all around.

Crazy chick doctor goes to see Don Loco and sedate him. She is going to leave, but he asks her to stay. For some reason, well I guess because she’s crazy, she does. After DL passes out she starts kissing him, her face disappearing in DL’s moustache. GROSS. A nurse sticks her head in the room and sees what is going on, then wisely makes a quick retreat. I hope she’s going to get the boss and get La Doctora Loca fired.

Elias finds Alina and Rodrigo and delivers the news of Don Loco’s sentence. Soledad shows up too. Soledad and Alina both look like they don’t like what happened. Hey you couple of dumbasses – HE LOCKED YOU UP. He disowned you. He mentally abused you. He made you LIVE IN A CAVE. Don’t give me any of this false sentimental BS. Aaarrrghgghghg I just want to slap the both of them in the face.

Angel and Coral talk while Claudia sets things up in the background at Coral’s new store. They think that tonight is finally the time for Alina and Emiliooo to finally find each other again.

Elias tries to talk some sense into Alina and Soledad, more nicely than I did two paragraphs back. They talk themselves into believing DL got what he deserved. They still don’t look happy about it. HE LOCKED YOU UP AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO REMEMBERS THIS? He ran around town f%**%ing shooting everybody! He shot ‘oh my darling Emilioooo love of my life even though he’s an insufferable ass’ TWICE!!!! What more do you need? Aarrrgh again. Elias, please, at least give them a ‘que the hell?’ look. At least do that. Please. No, he’s too busy trying to figure out how to be just the right amount of sensitive so he can move in on Soledad. “So, uh, I hear your husband got locked up for 25 years, and he used to keep you locked up, so I’m thinking it’s probably over there, so what do you say?” And then she says something like “oh jeez Elias I just don’t know, blah blah blah I can never love again blah blah blah my love with him used to be so great blah blah blah.” Cripes I’m so aggravated I can’t even make fun of these people right. Showing pity for DL has NO place here.

Angel and Coral talk about Emiliooo, Alina, Thelma, etc. Angel decides that he’s had enough talk, he wants to go put the moves on Claudia. Coral encourages him. Nice boss, perhaps she’s remembering how it was at the meson, she thinks she’s the house madam and Claudia is one of her girls? In a few minutes she’ll tell Angel he owes her some money for any extra time in the champagne room.

SA tries to tell Thelma to give up on conquering Emilioooo. Thelma has gone back to tight jeans and shirts that show us her endowments. It’s a great look for her. She has on some shoes or boots with heels, so she struts rather than walks. It works. Anyway, she says again that Emiliooo will be at her side forever. For having the nerve to suggest divorcing Emilioooo, Thelma smacks SA across the face. She gets ready to throw SA out on the street when Emiliooo breaks it up and says that SA isn’t going anywhere, and he tells Thelma again that he wants a divorce, and that’s final.

At the hospital, whoever the sleazy guy is with Luba (the wrestling manager?) says he needs to register them at the hospital. Luba lies and says their names are something Lopez. The manager knows better, so he takes her aside and asks her why she is lying. At least he had the decency to take her aside, maybe he isn’t so sleazy after all. He just looks like it.

Alina, Soledad, and Elias get back to Coral’s living room, AKA the scene of the Maxkabob. Elias says he spoke with Dr. Love and Mariana is doing well, he knows where they are staying, let’s go see them! The all get up and leave.

Luba explains to the guy that she and Gaspar are wanted by the law, but it’s all a big mixup. He believes her and helps her.

Mariana and Malena talk about Mariana’s conversation with DL, Malena is mad that she spoke with him. Mariana is also part of Alina and Soledad’s bizarre cult of Don Loco apologists. WTF. People. WAKE UP. I can’t take it any more. Of all people, Malena is the one who has her head on straight here, she basically says she hopes DL rots in jail. Hell yeah Malena. I’m with you. For now, I won’t forget completely what a wet blanket you were for so long before. Anyway, there’s a knock at the door, reunion time, everyone is surprised to see Alina alive, but for some reason there isn’t a lot of discussion about her ‘death.’ “Oh you’re alive!” “Yes!” “Ok great!”

Thelma talks to little Gasparito and says she just needs to get Emiliooo to feel the old passion for her that he used to have, that’s how she’ll get him back. Well, for starters, she’s going to have to compete with Alina’s daily battles with her shirts, that’s not an easy fight. He has the choice between a super bitchy hot chick, and a really dumb hot chick. Cripes who do you pick there? I guess for him, he’ll pick the dumb one. I wouldn’t be able to handle it after a while, her believing everything anybody tells her, but for him I guess that’s perfect. On this show, Coral’s the one who really has it going on, but she has that ‘hung up on Emiliooo for waaaay too long’ mark against her. There isn’t really an admirable woman on this show, every hot woman is either evil or really dumb.

The reunion with Mariana continues. Mariana says DL told her Alina was dead, then says that she told DL the truth. Alina says what truth? Mariana admits that she was the woman of Jose Gomez and had a daughter with him. The note was from him to her. Soledad is super frame skipping slo-mo goofy sound effects impactada. Alina is slightly less impactada, she never believed that DL wasn’t her real father anyway. Or she’s not smart enough to put it all together that fast.

Another great Asi es la Vida commercial. Any guys watching this show, don’t fast forward through those commercials.

Mariana tells how she tried to kill herself, then says everything is her fault. Soledad says no, it’s all Alfonsina’s fault. She is the one who took the card to DL. She says DL didn’t believe her when she talked to him. Alina finally figures out that DL really is sick in the head. You think?

Thelma struts her fine self into Emiliooo’s office to talk to him. I understand why he doesn’t want any part of her and I agree with him, but she looks great. There is a saying, at least among men, that goes like this – “Just remember, no matter how hot she is, there is some guy somewhere RIGHT NOW who has absolutely had it with all of her shit.” For Thelma, this couldn’t be more true. Emiliooo looks like he’s made of plastic or wax or something, something isn’t right there. She says she’ll give him the divorce, and custody of his son, if he spends the night with her and makes her feel like he used to. She knows it will all be a lie but she wants a good memory of him.

The reunion group start to discuss if DL will try to escape when Malena, who has suddenly become the Ferro-Approved voice of reason, says enough about DL already, let’s change the subject. They all laugh and agree, like at the end of a sitcom – ha ha ha freeze frame. Yes, it looked like that because I paused the recording when they all laughed. Alina announces the opening of Soledad and Coral’s new shop, then bails to go see Rodrigo.

DL’s lawyer visits him. DL hopes the lawyer can help him. Then he starts to talk about escaping. Like we didn’t all see that one coming. He says he’ll see him in Veracruz.

Emiliooo accepts Thelma’s offer, just so he can end all this. Not tonight, he has something to do. Thelma wants to go with him. She sweet talks him and he agrees to let her go. He says she can go, but only if she keeps her promise and after that he never has to see her again. Jeez, and she still wants to try and keep this guy? After he says that? Her self-esteem must be about zero.

At the opening, Angel is chatting up Claudia, everybody is just hanging out and drinking champagne. Coral’s dress is cut down to her waist, she’s really showing what she’s got. Any side-cleavage fans should be happy here. Coral pulls Angel aside to worry about when Emiliooo comes, Angel tells her to chill.

At the hospital the doctor doesn’t have good news. Gaspar needs a kidney transplant. Luba sputters like a sneezing dog. That is her version of impactada I guess.

Emiliooo and Thelma arrive at the party, Soledad freaks out and she and Coral fuss and try and figure out what to do.

Alina greets Rodrigo in the living room of Coral’s house, they leave. As soon as they leave, the phone starts ringing. The ladies trying to call her off, no doubt.

Gasca screams for help, he’s all tied up. Alfonsina points a gun at him and tells him to shut up. He says they can still split the money and she can decide what to do with THE COFRE. She doesn’t answer.

Coral and Soledad tell Angel what’s going on, he says ok fine let me get back to working my mack on this honey over here. Thelma drapes herself all over Emiliooo and starts making out with him. For some reason he doesn’t back off, so of course who should walk in just then but Alina and Rodrigo. Emiliooo does a great double take when he sees her. Alina freaks and runs out, Emiliooo tries to chase her but Rodrigo stops him. Emiliooo wants to know what Rodrigo has to do with any of this, Rodrigo says he’ll explain later. Thelma just looks sick to her stomach.

Alfonsina yells at Gasca some more and threatens to kill him. He asks what good is he dead? He tries to sell her on some plan to get even more money from Don Loco.

Luba cries over Gaspar and prays to the virgin for good measure. Bleah. I hate hospital settings, I thought maybe we were done with that on this show. The other guy comes in and Luba says she is too poor to pay for the operation. The guy says it was his responsibility, he will pay for the operation. He says that Luba can give him one of her kidneys. Now she cries from joy and promises Gaspar that he will be fine after all. We still have time for the miracle cure and him getting his brain back.

Emiliooo is super pissed at Angel for inviting him to this party and setting him up. Angel admits to knowing that Alina was alive before. Angel says he set the whole meeting up for him, to end his suffering. He just didn’t plan on Thelma being there, obviously.

Gasca keeps fast talking his way out of getting shot. She tries to order him to say where the cofre is, but he makes her put away the gun. She has no choice but to go along with him if she wants the cofre.

Emiliooo goes off on Angel, he is about to strangle him when Elias pulls him off. Thelma tells Soledad that she is a hypocrite. I don’t know what for or what about, I guess she just wanted to yell at somebody.

Back at Coral’s living room, Rodrigo says it is time to talk. No more excuses. She tries to give him the old “I don’t want to talk about it.” Whatever. She starts ugly crying again and saying how she wasn’t ready for this to happen blah blah blah. Rodrigo, my friend, this is your cue to make tracks. Seriously. This is your last chance to get out. I know you won’t take it, but I wish you would. Rodrigo says Emiliooo thought you were dead, he was just trying to make things right with his wife, I guess. She whines about it, I guess in woman logic you are supposed to just KNOW if your true love is REALLY dead or not.

Elias is going to explain to Emiliooo about Alina being alive when the general interrupts and tells the story himself. Angel tries to explain again, saying that he knew Emiliooo wouldn’t be able to have a good life with Thelma, so he set up this meeting. Of course in Three’s Company fashion it all backfired. Perhaps Angel could have just told Emiliooo about Alina rather than staging this big reveal? Naw that makes too much sense. Thelma is still yelling at Soledad, that she saw her earlier that day and said nothing about Alina being alive. Soledad slaps her across the face. Coral walks up and orders Thelma to leave. She screams it at her actually. She must still be holding onto a little anger from their previous fight. Thelma leaves. Emiliooo wants Soledad to tell him what’s going on. She says she’ll explain. Ok, when? Now is good.

Alina is still whining and Rodrigo missed his chance to bail. She actually has the nerve to cry on his shoulder, literally. Rodrigo has a look on his face like he knows he is about five minutes late on trying to get the hell out of there. I can see it in his eyes. “Oh man what am I still doing here this chick is psycho dammit I should have just bailed when she said she didn’t want to talk about it DAMMIT.”

Emiliooo calmly listens to and understands what Soledad tells him about Luba and the potion, etc. He says he wants to get Alina back. Soledad starts making excuses, like he’s married, Coral interrupts and says Alina wants to see Soledad. EDIT - after seeing the rest of the show, I think Coral said they needed to go see if Alina was ok, not that Alina wanted to see Soledad. Though I wouldn't be surprised if Alina asked for her mother, then when mother came, she said go away I don't want to talk to anyone.

Alina whines “How can all this happen to me? Why?” What a self centered bitch. Rodrigo figures she’s vulnerable, so he tells her she’s pretty when she’s crying and tries to kiss her. She totally cockblocks him and he leaves. On his way out, he swears to always be at her side, now more than ever. Dude, you are getting to leave. Just go! Alina has orange flashbacks of hairy-armed Emiliooo giving her the heart necklace, along with a variety of other memories of the heart necklace and making out with Emilioooo. She says to the room that she needs to forget about him but she can’t.

SA can’t believe the news that Alina is alive. Thelma starts in about something and SA says sure and now you’re going to want my help, right? Thelma acts pissy and says she already apologized so get over it already. Thelma swears that Alina will be sorry she isn’t dead. SA decides she’ll help after all. SA is like the ugly girl at school who will go along with anything just to be part of the clique.

The nurse that saw crazy chick doctor kissing Don Loco is telling the gossip to another nurse. Wait – like 10 hours have passed in the outside world, but only five minutes in here? Is there some kind of hospital time warp? Dra. Loca’s fiancé overhears the chisme, just then Dra. Loca comes in to get her coat. The nurses laugh at her when she leaves.

Angel and Claudia are the only ones left at the party. She tells him that she is glad to just be his friend, he asks why. She says that she heard Coral say that Alina was somebody very important for him. He says yes, at one time he loved her a lot.

Soledad tries to get into Alina’s room, she won’t let her in. Coral tells Soledad that Emiliooo wants to divorce Thelma. In her room, Alina has an orange flashback of Thelma kissing Emiliooo. Is this the first time we’ve had an orange flashback to something that happened earlier in the same show? It might be. Alina whines some more.

Crazy Doctora Loca and Mauricio arrive home, she wants to know what his deal is. He tells her that he overheard about her having something going on with Don Loco. She immediately looks guilty.

Angel says his love for Alina is in the past, now he cares about her like a sister. Claudia buys it.

Crazy Doctora Loca admits to getting frisky with Don Loco. She actually wants the guy to understand it. Whatever. The guy is pissed off, but he sounds like he’s reading his lines off of a card. They decide to break up. Well he decides, she agrees, he leaves, she cries.

Emiliooo moons over Alina when Thelma enters and prohibits him from getting back with Alina. Emiliooo says she doesn’t get to prohibit anything, and she doesn’t get to come into his room. He rightfully calls her out on her previous plan, that she wouldn’t go through with her deal, and that she knows that he’ll try to get Alina back. Thelma glares at him. The producers, after a couple seconds, apparently suddenly remembered that it was the end of the show, so they quickly made her slo-mo impactado. Sorry fellas, you were a little slow on the slow-mo button there.

Monday: Alina tells Emiliooo that she and Rodrigo are going out, and he proposed, and she’s going to marry him. Apparently Rodrigo is a complete idiot, he doesn’t realize that Alina is marrying him just to get back at Emiliooo. Either that or he has no pride.
