Duelo - Wed. June 6 - Perros de Verdad / Police

Intro by Sylvia: Luba shows Gaspar her wanted poster. "How pretty," he gushes. Luba sets him straight. It means people are looking for her. "Are they going to try to kill us, like the Cacique?" asks Gaspar, beginning to panic. Luba says if they're found they'll go to jail forever. Thanks to stupid Vera the police probably think she killed Flor. Luba says they need to beat it before the cops get their hands on them.

Intro by Lynn: Thelma arrives for dinner with Rodrigo and Alina dressed in a silk nightgown. She sits down next to Rodrigo who explains that Alina has gone to the restroom. Thelma can’t wait to meet her. We see legs walking towards their table then the camera pans to the face that accompanies the legs. Its not Alina/Flor but none other than the lovely Dr. Loca. Thelma is at a loss of words, stumbling for something to say to "Alina" she tells her that she is beautiful as she quickly excuses herself to go to the bathroom. La Dr. Loca turns to Rodrigo after Thelma leaves and asks him to explain why he wanted her to pretend to be her patients’ dead daughter.

Thelma, heading to the bano, is intercepted by Emilio. He demands to know why she didn’t tell him she was going to see Rodrigo. He demands to know what's going on.

Gaspar whines about not being able to do Lucha fighting if they are busy hiding out from the law. What are they to do?! There is a knock at the door and Tropicasas (the lucha coach) enters saying he is bringing good news. Gaspar immediately lets slip that maybe the good news is that the police aren't looking for them. Luba shoves Gaspar back by his face and starts to question Tropicasas about what good news? Did they win the lottery? Tropicasas says that he has a fight set up for Gaspar! But its not in the city, but not too far away. They will have to leave. Luba gets a pleased look on her face.

Thelma tells Emilio that she is having dinner with Rodrigo and his girlfriend, he can go and see. They were there to plan a surprise party for him.

Soledad and Alina laugh over what is happening with Rodrigo's dinner with Thelma. They share silly chit chat when Alina reveals that Rodrigo has a daughter. Soledad is shocked to learn this. Alina tells her mother that the daughter doesn't want anyone to replace her mothers memory, of course. Alina feels that Rodrigo must be fighting the memory of his deceased wife just like she is doing with Emilio.

Emilio scolds Thelma and tells her she has to go with him. Thelma fights back saying she wants to stay. Emilio ends the conversation by grabbing Thelma by her arm leading her out of the restaurant.

Rodrigo discuss things with Dr. Loca. He wants her discretion with the information he wants to share. He tells her that Don Locos dead daughter is who he is in love with. Alina Montellano is alive. Viva!

Rod explains why Alina had to pretend to be dead, the horrors she suffered! He argues that the doctora should abandon Don Locos case. Dr. Loca admits that she thought what Don Loco was accused of was fantasy, not real. She promises that she wont let Loco use her. She knows how to take care of herself.

A random guard walks into a room and finds a dead guard on the ground with a gunshot wound.

Hugo/Gasca gets a phone call. He answers questions about his safety box and then goes to check if the key to the box is still in his possession. It isn’t. He thinks that someone killed the guard with his gun and his key is missing! He vows Don Loco will pay for his trickery.

Meanwhile Alfonsia peaks into bathroom stalls to see if anyone is in the bathroom with her after she leaves a room where a maid is tied up and lying on the floor. She is carrying a metal briefcase that she sets on the bathroom counter. She tells herself she needs to calm down and buy a ticket to Veracruz. She opens the briefcase and we see it is filled with stacks of money.

Thelma tells the singing aunt that the Alina Montellano she met has class not like the stupid Flor. Singing Aunt is shocked that Thelma’s friend would be dating a woman with the same name as Thelma’s worst enemy. What a story! Thelma gloats that a least this way she didn’t have to have anyone killed.

Rodrigo argues to Alina that it will be difficult for her to avoid Emilio. It’s a small town and they could run into each other easily. Soledad pipes up wondering if maybe Emilio knows that Alina is alive?

Dr. Loca reads about the psychiatric description of someone such as Don Loco. The doorbell rings and she is interrupted by her fiancé. She tells him that sometimes she gets scared about what she learns about her patients. They leave for dinner together.

Alina argues that Emilio needs to be by his kids’ side, blah blah blah. Rodrigo argues that they (he and Alina) deserve an opportunity. Alina lets him kiss her hand.

Emilio has a fantasy of what his wedding night romance would be like with Alina. White rose petals everywhere, soft lights and Alina…… He wakes to say how he loves her.

Rodrigo and his nanny discuss Alina’s strange past; living in a cave with a witch! Gaby his daughter enters the room demanding food and to go to the park even though it is a school day. The nanny talks to Gaby telling her how her father needs to have a life of his own, not just taking care of her. Alina shows up and asks to take Gaby to school. Gaby gives her the evil eye.

Coral and Soledad talk about their inauguration party plans. Coral has hired a pretty young girl who used to be Barrera de Amor, Claudia. ‘


Nanny tells Gaby that she is being rude to Alina. Gaby doesn't care. Nanny tells her then she is the one who will miss out, cause Alina is like a princess in a book, she lived in a cave with two monsters, one being a very strong giant. The girl is captivated with this story and goes up to Alina asking her if it is true. Alina smiles and tells her it is true and she will tell her all about it on their way to school. Off they go happy happy.

Right before the next meeting with the Judge, Don Loco tells Dr. Loca to imagine what it would be like if the person you most trusted cheated on you. He exclaims that "Soledad cheated on me". They invented all these stories so that I would look crazy. He slides up to her, touching her arms, wanting to know if she is starting to believe the others and not him. She tells him to stop and calls a guard to come get him.

Luba worries about Gaspar’s safety as they are heading for the Lucha Libre Tour bus to freedom. She tells him to hold on so she can give him a blessing so that nothing bad will happen to him. She looks out the doorway and spots a policeman. She tells Gaspar that there are dogs outside. Not dogs like Tonky/Donky sweet little cave dwelling doggie but “perros de verdad”– police. They wait hiding around the doorway until the coast is clear of police to board the bus.
The Judge who reigns over Don Locos life asks Hugo if he has anything to say in favor of Don Loco. Hugo tells the Judge and all the others there plus Loco who stands behind bars that Don Loco committed all and every one of the crimes that he has been accused; Loco is to blame.
Gaspar and Luba finally load themselves into the Lucha Libre Tour bus.
Don Loco goes ballistic hearing Hugo say he is guilty. Hugo pipes up that Loco and his lawyer tried to bribe him with a lot of money. Loco shouts some more screaming that Hugo is a disgusting traitor. The Judge tells the room that he will announce his verdict shortly.
Alina, Rodrigo and Gaby arrive at the school with Alina finishing her story about her life in Sierra Escondida. Gaby goes off to school and Rodrigo takes the opportunity to tell Alina that he has looked a long time to find someone to fill his wife's place. Will she marry him?
Alvaro/Don Loco and his twisted lawyer argue about their error in judgement with Hugo. The attorney says at one point that Loco is in a serious jam. Loco doesn't like this; the attorney had said he would get Loco out. Loco shouts at his attorney trying to drive the point home that he promised to get him out so get him out! The lawyer changes the subject and says one thing he will do is get all the money they gave to Hugo back. Loco doesn't like that. He wants Hugo dead.
The maid that was tied up on the ground is found by a coworker. She tells her friend that a woman hit her on the head and tied her up. They go to call the police.
The lawyer tells Loco he is not a murderer. Loco doesn't care Hugo must die. The lawyer tries to explain that to kill is not just a simple thing. Loco demands death. The lawyer relents saying he will do it for friendship, but Loco better not forget the debt he will owe him.
Alina promises to think about marrying Rodrigo.
Singing Aunt goes to chat with Emilio. At first she tries to talk him into treating Thelma better for the child's sake. Emilio is having none of it. He tells her that Thelma caused all the damage that has gone on and separated him from the woman he loved. He will never forgive Thelma.
Claudia and Angel flirt at the shop. He learns she doesn't have a boyfriend and will be at the party unescorted. Coral enters the shop and tells Angel she wants to talk to him about Alina. Claudia pretends to be working as she listens in on the conversation.
Emilio tells the Singing Aunt that no love exists between he and Thelma. The Singing Aunt tells him to talk to Thelma about divorce then.
Mariana is nervous to contact Loco. Malena and the doctor Ricardo try talk her into returning to Mexico City.
Coral tells Angel that Alina still loves Emilio. She things its time that Emilio know the truth that Alina is alive.
Mariana tells her friends that she wont return to Mexico. She is going to talk with Loco. Malena and Ricardo worry that all the pressure will hurt Mariana and cause a relapse.
Angel argues that its not the RIGHT time to let Emilio know that Alina is alive. Coral is incredulous that he would suggest that Emilio should stay at the side of the crazy Thelma. Soledad enters the shop and notices Angel likes Claudia.
The Singing Aunt tells Emilio to be nice when he talks with Thelma. He commends her on her nobility as he promises to be compassionate.
Loco tells Batneck that he is going to escape.
Coral gives Soledad a dress for free from the shop to wear to the party. They discuss how they need to make Alina look great. Alina walks in and fills the ladies in on her newest marriage proposal.
Batneck tells Loco that escaping is too dangerous. Loco ignores his concerns and tells Batneck that he will live like a King when he gets out.
Coral states that Alina will never love Rodrigo. They rehash the same old argument of Emilio is married, he needs to be there for his kid.
Emilio goes up to Thelma's room to talk. He tells her that he wants them to come to an agreement so that she will give him a divorce.
Tomorrow (today) Marianna tells Don Loco that she needs to tell him the truth.

Thank you both for the recap. I haven't watched Duelo this week - I just don't have it in me. You've supplied the "Cliff's Notes" so I don't get behind.

The 2 person recap reminds of two runners collapsing and helping each other across the finish line.

As far as the show....words fail me today. :)
 

Ha ha, Lucha Libre Tour bus to freedom. I love it! Aha, I knew Claudia was in Barrera de Amor. She's even more beautiful now than she was then.

I am SO ready for Mariana to tell the truth to Don Loco. I wonder what they will cook up to prevent her from doing that? I'm prepared to be majorly frustrated.

Do you think we will get to see Intocable fight? That would be so cool!!

I thought that was a pretty clever way for Alina to suck up to the kid, making her dismal life seem like a fairy tale. She'll get close to the little girl just in time to leave her life forever and do irreperable damage to her little soul no doubt. Gosh I hate they way they treat kids in these shows. And I can only imagine what fate they have in store for Emilito. I shudder to think.

Great recap Lynn, thanks!!!

Anya, yes we are like exhausted runners supporting each other to the bitter end!
 

Thank you for the recaps! With work and other stuff to do, I haven't had time to watch any of the novelas I've taped all week!!! I've had to (sadly) rewind them.:(

Hopefully, I'll have time to see Thurs. and Fridays. Thanks again. It's so good to know that Caray Caray is there when I need them!!!!
 

Aw, Gaby will do fine. Alina is just softening her up for her eventual mommy, someone without all of Alina's baggage. How about Coral? Now she could show a soldier a good time and her backstory is almost as interesting as the princess who lived in a cave with a giant and a witch
 

Thanks for the great tag team recap, ladies! The recap was head and shoulders above the episode. I wonder how many more episodes "Últimos Capítulos" means for this one.

I'm trusting that the judge is getting it that DL is indeed LOCO. What really struck me this week (I actually reflect on these novelas; I need to get a life) is that we all started calling him loco long before Dr. Z and Dra. Loca came on the scene. We're pretty darn good, aren't we?

That Tropicasas guy is really ugly, but he seems to be a nice guy. The hat Gaspar was wearing was just as ugly.

I like it when Don Loco loses control and Elías laughs at him. If I were writing this show, Máximo would have testified against him, straight on the road to redemption after having patched things up with his son.
