Duelo - Wed. June 6 - Perros de Verdad / Police
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 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. :)
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!
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!!!!
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?

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.
