Caray, Caray!

Sorry for the length of this post—there was a ton of dramatic dialogue. Stuff I couldn’t really summarize all that well.

We open to marital discord between Emilio and Thelma over whether Thelma can burst into her soon to be ex-husband’s bedroom whenever she feels like it. [Fabiola Campomanes may be one hot wench en realidad but lately all she’s been doing is scowling and I am not the first to notice that when she does her face more than resembles that of a rat. ]

Emilio astutely points out that the only reason she regrets having tormented Alina is because she thought she was dead. Now that that’s proven NOT to be the case, she’s going to try to keep him from seeing her. Emilio tells her that she knows that he’s going to fight for her. Thelma scowls some more.

We skip over to the hospital where Gaspar is lying in a coma after having had the bejeezus beaten out of him in his failed lucha comeback. Luba is crying and praying to the Virgin of Peace (without her usual visual aid) to save Gaspar, to help him to hang on until she can undergo the liver transplant. She murmurs about how children are the only thing that are important. Children, like her little cub Gasparito.

Back to Thelma and Emilio. Thelma threatens Emilio that she’ll never give him a divorce and if he insists she’ll get custody of Emilito. [I know that there’s a bias in favor of the mother in custody battles but, let’s see—you drank copious amounts of booze during your pregnancy, once the baby was born, you threatened to throw him off a bridge and then last week, you tried to kill yourself. Not exactly a candidate for Mother of the Year.] Emilio is non-plussed. He figured she would go there. She taunts him again, that he doesn’t care about their son. He cuts her off and threatens that she could lose everything, including their son. Then he tells her to out of his room. Thelma bares her teeth at him and swears that he will regret this before she finally leaves.

We transition to the morning of the next day, with a beautiful pink- orange and blue sky. Adela is serving Soledad and Coral breakfast on the terrace at Coral’s mansion. Soledad inquires about Alina, whether she is awake. Adela affirms that Alina has been awake for hours walking around the house. They agree that after what happened last night when she met Emilio again, she’s probably still shaken up. Coral says that she must speak to Alina about Emilio. Just then, Alina walks up, looking goth in a gray and black sweater and jeans. She’s pouty and sullen and doesn’t want any breakfast. She’s NOT wearing THE heart pendant but appears to be wearing some other pendant. Adela hears the doorbell ring and goes to answer it. Coral starts in to explain what Angel and she had tried to do. Just then, Adela shows up with the visitor—it’s Emilio and he demands to talk to her right now. [He looks just as bad as she does in some bug-eye-Elvis sized dark sunglasses and a black leather jacket.] Alina gets up and asks everybody to leave so she can speak to Emilio alone

We hop over to Veracruz, to the Montellano canefields. Hugo and Alfonsina have evidently made up and are packing up to go on the lam back to Sierra Escondida to find THE BOX. Hugo is making sure he has the blank checks when suddenly Don Loco’s sleazy lawyer walks into the office with a revolver cocked in his hand. “Well, well,” he says unpleasantly. Alfonsina asks stupidly what he’s doing there. “I’ve come to kill you” says SL, lowering his weapon at Hugo.


Back to the other showdown, between Emilio and Alina. The other women leave. Alina stands up and tells him that they have some things to clear up. Emilio asks her why she hid from him that she was alive. “To protect myself until my father’s trial was over” she replies. “Why didn’t you tell me of your plan?” he insists. Alina gets huffy—“You think I planned all this?” “I took the potion that Luba gave me because I was desperate. I wanted to die. Because if I couldn’t be with you, I didn’t want to marry anyone.” “I didn’t know how I could go on living.” “So, says Emilio, you did it because you love me?” “Yes” says Alina, “and now I see it was for nothing because you are back with your wife.” Emilio says, “No, that’s not true.” Alina counters, “Oh yeah? Last night I saw you kissing her. It didn’t look like you were suffering.” “Oh, yeah?” says Emilio “and how long did you plan on making me suffer with your death?” “Don’t you get it that I am still here because I love you?” He sounds pretty pissed when he utters that last sentence and he grabs her roughly to kiss her. Alina resists and pushes him back angrily. “Once again with your stolen kisses!” she hisses at him. “I hope you enjoyed it because it’s the last one you are going to get.” “You think you’re going to forget me?” says Emilio. “Yes!” says Alina. “I’m not going to deny that I had a tiny piece of hope left that you and I could love each other…but after what I saw last night…it became utterly clear to me that your place is beside your wife.” “No!” says Emilio. “I am going to divorce Thelma.” “Ay!” says Alina, exasperated. She sits down. “I don’t believe you.” Just then, Rodrigo walks in claiming that the door was open and he decided to just come on in. Emilio scowls at Rodrigo, Rodrigo is stony faced back at him. Alina looks from one to the other, squinting into the light.

If you were wondering where the three other women went, they are in the living room where Don Max recently met his fate. Evidently, Coral has found a magnificent carpet cleaning service because the same rug is still there without any evidence that a guy was stabbed to death with a poker on it. Adela is peeking out the window into the garden at the other trio going at it out there. Adela is hoping that Alina and Emilio kiss and make up. Coral is worried about their stupid pride getting in the way. Soledad, the prude, is sure that the only reason that is keeping her daughter from Emilio’s arms is that she doesn’t want to be the cause of a divorce. Coral shakes her head at Soledad as if to say, You have no idea, babe.


Back to the standoff in the garden. Emilio asks Rodrigo to leave. Rodrigo gives some lame excuse like he’s in charge of Alina’s security and he can’t leave. Emilio thanks him for his service and says he’s not needed at the moment. Alina protests that Emilio is acting like an jerk, he’s always acting like he owns her. As far as she’s concerned, they are done talking. She tells him to leave. Emilio is incredulous. “You are asking me to leave after you hid that you were still alive from me?” Rodrigo chimes in “You heard her, Emilio. Either go, or I’ll kick you out.” “Look, says Emilio, I don’t want to cause a ruckus. But I’m not giving up either.” Alina looks darkly at him. “I will fight for your love, Alina. Until you understand that our destiny is to be together.” Rodrigo puts his arm around Alina. “Well, then Emilio, it’s better that you know that you will also have to confront me. “I am not going to give up on her love either. “What do you have to do with this?” asks Emilio. Alina interrupts to say that she and Rodrigo are going out. What’s more, he’s asked her to marry him and she has agreed to become his wife. If Emilio wasn’t played by such a bad actor he’d be impactado into the commercial. Instead all he does is grimace and squint into the camera.


We come back into this SAME interminable scene between Emilio, Alina and Rodrigo. Emilio of course, asks for clarification of what Alina just said before the commercial and Alina repeats that she’s going to marry Rodrigo. Emilio asks her if that is her final answer and Alina gives a little smirk and says “yes.” Emilio complains that if he had known about this he wouldn’t have come to see her. Alina doesn’t like the way this sounds and starts mewling about how she has a right to a fresh start, just like he’s doing with Thelma. Rodrigo starts trying to get Emilio to leave again. Emilio finally says that he will still separate from Thelma because she has done nothing but blackmail him with their son. Alina says that she can only believe what she sees, just like he did when he saw her in bed with Orlando. And besides, she doesn’t want to be the cause of breaking up his family. She smirks again, this time with moral superiority. Emilio starts to disagree. Rodrigo AGAIN starts in with the getting Emilio to leave. Emilio tells him to stuff it, he’s leaving. “Goodbye, Alina. I hope you find happiness.” He goes. Alina looks stricken. Rodrigo holds on to her tightly with a grim smile, like he thinks she’s going to run away.


Back to Veracruz—Sleazy Lawyer holding a gun on Hugo with Alfonsina trying to stay out of the line of fire. Hugo tries to argue that he thought DL double crossed him by stealing back the money he had been paid for his testimony. The lawyer listens but is unimpressed. Alfonsina whimpers and SL tells her to shut up. She’s using Hugo’s body as a shield but with the canon that SL is holding, at that range, the bullet would easily go right through Hugo into her. Hugo tries to argue with the lawyer that he’s not the type to kill in cold blood. SL laughs at Hugo.
Back to Rodrigo and Alina who are now sitting at the table. Clueless Rodrigo is elated that Alina has just agreed to marry him. Alina doesn’t look so happy about it. Rodrigo whines that maybe she just said that to get rid of Emilio. [YA THINK?] “I’d understand…sniff sniff.” Alina looks guilty and answers in a small voice “Of course I want to marry you…” she still looks unhappy. Rodrigo is all smiley again. [WHAT A LOSER!] Alina looks tortured once again, with the lip biting and regret written all over her face.


Once again with SL, Alfonsina and Hugo. [SHOOT THEM ALREADY, FOR HEAVEN’S SAKE!] blah blah blah. OK this is a bad sign and yes---Hugo manages to overpower SL, grab his gun and knock him on the head with it. Alfonsina thanks Hugo for saving her but Hugo is all business. He did it for himself and the money. He grabs money out of SL’s wallet and they hurry up their original plan to leave for SE. They don’t kill him but figure they’ll be long gone by the time he wakes up. They grab their stuff and leave, DL’s ridiculous portrait hanging next to the door.
Over at Emilio’s Puebla mansion, he’s pouring himself a brandy and moping about why he seems destined never to be happy and never to be with Alina. He doesn’t get why she doesn’t believe that he will be divorcing Thelma. Just then Thelma walks in, triumphant. She knows he went to see her and from his demeanor, she knows it didn’t go well. Emilio tells her to go away, as usual.


Alina and Rodrigo are kissing in the garden. It is the worst kiss I’ve ever seen. It’s like both of them are forcing themselves to kiss the other. It breaks up fast when Soledad and Coral come in. Soledad innocently says that she thought Emilio was still here. “No, Emilio and I…we resolved everything that we had to resolve…” says Alina. Rodrigo jumps up and announces that Alina has agreed to marry him. Soledad looks surprised. Coral looks suspicious. Alina smiles wanly.

Over at Casa Valtierra, Emilio has accused Thelma of trying to fix up the dinner date with Rodrigo and Alina to shock him. Thelma dramatically says that back then, everybody thought Alina was dead, the dinner had nothing to do with Alina. Emilio doesn’t buy it. What’s more, he’s not going to let her continue to bother Alina. Thelma tells him she doesn’t think he should worry about Alina anymore. “she has someone to take care of her now.” “And that’s not you!” She struts over to the brandy and pours herself a glass. Emilio warns her that it’s not over yet. He’s going to confront Rodrigo and anyone else who tries to get between him and Alina, including her. Thelma knows she’s got him where she wants him and she pushes again---“I don’t think you should be worried about me. It’s Rodrigo you should be worried about. I don’t think he’s going to let you get between him and Alina.” “Besides, I don’t think it’s good for you to be humiliating yourself like this. You should just accept that she’s never going to be with you. She already has her Captain…. Captain.” She walks out of the room laughing with her glass of brandy.
Back to the Hospital where Luba is in conference with Gaspar’s doctor. The weird little man who is some kind of fight manager helps to facilitate the discussion because Luba has been transformed in this foreign setting, from a smart, crafty witch to a stupid, clueless peasant. The doctor tells her that they will have to do some tests to see if her organs are compatible with Gaspar’s. She finds it hard to believe that her son’s body is not compatible with hers.
Back at Coral’s mansion Soledad thinks there is something not quite right about Alina rejecting the love of her life (as impossible or inappropriate as he was) and immediately accepting a marriage proposal from a guy that she’s only known for a few weeks. When Coral butts in to say that she can’t have forgotten Emilio that fast, Soledad tries to interrupt her as if the suggestion is impertinent. Coral stands her ground this time but Rodrigo, pathetic excuse for a guy that he is, says he knows what it’s like to try to forget someone and move on [YES but your wife was DEAD, you aren’t likely to meet her at every other corner]. He knows that his job will be to try to make Alina forget Emilio and to make her happy. He kisses Alina’s hand. Alina looks like she can’t decide whether this is cute or smarmy.


At Casa Valtierra, Thelma is buttoning up Emilito’s onesie while talking to the SA. She recounts her conversation with with Emilio and finishes up on how Emilio is still humiliating her by pursing the reluctant Alina. SA tells her that she was the one who accepted this situation. Thelma disagrees. She never accepted this. She is going to come up with a plan to separate them. When SA protests, Thelma starts screaming at her to shut up and not get in her way.
At Coral’s, Rodrigo has gone back to the base. Soledad confronts her daughter alone and wants to know the truth about this sudden engagement. Alina gives it up almost immediately that her pride was hurt when she saw Emilio kissing Thelma and it was the first thing she could think of to say that she knew would hurt Emilio. She’s not sure she wants to marry Rodrigo, she was er…confused. Soledad says, “So basically, you accepted Rodrigo out of an attack of jealousy. That was a really bad thing to do…don’t you see that from all that has happened with your Father?” “Why couldn’t you explain that to Rodrigo?’ Alina looks sheepish. “ He was so happy, I couldn’t break his heart.” Soledad looks disapprovingly. Coral pokes her head in the door. “Sorry for listening, but you need to know something Alina.” “Emilio didn’t lie when he told you he was going to divorce Thelma. Angel told me that even before he found out you were alive, Emilio had already asked Thelma for a divorce. Emilio didn’t deceive you.” Alina is impactada into the commercial.


Out of the commercial, Alina is in a rage. “SO WHY WAS HE KISSING HER THEN?” she demands. Coral says, “It was just a kiss. And besides, I have no doubt that that chick could force him to do it. Look, Angel told me that that crazy bitch never stops trying to blackmail him. She’s threatened to kill herself.” “Wow” says Soledad. “That woman is crazy.” Now it’s Alina’s turn to smack herself upside the head. “Boy, am I stupid! I thought that they had reconciled because he thought I was dead.” “You are REALLY stupid” says Coral. “What’s going to happen now?” Alina buries her hands in her face and groans. “I don’t know.” Coral continues “you can’t be playing with Rodrigo’s feelings!” Soledad finally butts in here. Yeah Yeah, we covered that before you got here. Alina pipes up that she made a promise to Rodrigo and now she’s going to have to keep it. And anyway, he’s a good guy and she could learn to love him. Soledad nervously fusses with her daughter’s hair.


Over at Casa Valtierra, Thelma has apparently decided that she has to get rid of Alina-Flor, whatever her name is. She’s got to kill her. She confides in the SA who is horrified. She’s also got to settle accounts with Angel who undoubtedly planned that little reunion at Coral’s boutique. SA argues that he did it for Emilio’s good. Thelma jumps on her that she’s insinuating that Alina is for Emilio’s good but she explains that no, Angel tried to argue on her behalf that Emilio give her another chance. It would do no good to try to pick a fight with Angel as well. Thelma is livid. SA decides it’s a good time to leave. Thelma insists that Angel hates her. SA tells her that if she harms Angel, Emilio will hate her even more. Thelma claims that Emilio need never know…unless the SA betrays her. SA tells Thelma that she’s her niece and that she would never do that. She embraces her. And she thought bubbles that because she cares about Thelma; she isn’t going to let her go through with any plans would make her fall any lower than she has already.


Hugo and Alfonsina are at the bus station in Veracruz going to buy tickets for San Mateo. Alfonsina suddenly says that they can’t go to San Mateo, first they have to go to Puebla. Hugo looks at her like she’s crazy. She’s wanted in Puebla for killing the clerk in the hotel. Alfonsina says she has a plan so that she will not be recognized. Hugo wants to know more but Alfonsina insists that all he has to do is watch and she will execute the plan. Hugo agrees to go with her. NO THIS MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE. DON’T EVEN TRY. NOTHING ELSE TO SEE HERE, LETS JUST MOVE ALONG TO THE NEXT SCENE.


At the Boutique de Coral Claudia has just made a sale. Angel just happens to be in the neighborhood and stops by. He’s wearing a black sweatshirt that says “I’ve been in the Taj Mahal.” At least, I think the last line says “Taj Mahal.” Caudia tells him that the customers have been coming in at a good pace all day but that neither Coral nor Soledad have been in. Angel tells her that he’s not there to see them. He wants to invite her to go have a meal with him. A late lunch, I guess, since he mentions 3 o’clock. Claudia accepts and looks pretty happy about it.
It’s still girltalk time in Alina’s room at Coral’s. Soledad, whatever her flaws can see that marrying Rodrigo when she is in love with someone else is not a good idea. She’s suffered enough in a bad marriage to not wish any of the same kind of hell on her own daughter. Coral chimes in that she knows she’s being nosy but she wants to talk to Alina alone. Soledad realizes that this whole situation is really too complicated for her tiny brain to handle and she tells Coral that she’ll be going along to the Boutique to see how things are going there. Coral sits down on the bed, across from Alina and addresses her directly. “Look, I know that Rodrigo is a nice guy, a teddy bear [peluchito—am I translating that right?] But tell me, does he get you hot like Emilio?” [actually the word she uses is estremecer, shiver or shake but you get the picture.] Alina sees why this is not a conversation she can have with her mom present. She sighs, no. Compared to Emilio, with all his faults, Rodrigo is, shall we say, a little light in the loafers. “That’s exactly it, says Coral. Love without Passion, is nothing more than affection.” “What do I do?” asks Alina. “Tell Rodrigo that you were mistaken. What you feel for him is friendship. Nothing more.“ Then, go to Emilio. Tell him that you love him and you can’t love anyone else.” Alina looks scared. “I can’t do that!” Coral urges her—“and what happens when Emilio divorces Thelma because he can no longer stand that witch. Will you go to him then?” Alina gets all wobbly and hides her face in her hands and groans. She gets up and walks out of the room. Coral looks doubtful that Alina has the cojones to go through with what she knows she has to do.

Still in Puebla, we are back at the jail, where a soccer game is taking place. DL and batneck are plotting DL’s escape. DL has big plans once he escapes to kill all the people who tormented him in jail, one by one.


Elsewhere in Puebla, Mariana, Malena and Ricardo are having lunch. Malena wants to know what Mariana’s plans are now that she’s confronted DL and he didn’t believe her story. Now she’s thinking of going after Alfonsina. After all, it’s her fault that all this happened. Ricardo doesn’t like the sound of that. He’s worried about her having a relapse. Malena agrees. Mariana says there is no hurry in pursuing Alfonsina since she probably thinks she’s in the clear. First, she wants to take advantage of the fact that Alina and Soledad are in town so that they can be present for her wedding. Ricardo almost drops his fork. He is ecstatic.

At Coral’s, the prosecutor, whose name escapes me, arrives. He is there to take Alina for the DNA test. Soledad seems oddly nervous, while Alina is very confident. Could it be that Soledad really did cheat… Noooooo! Anyway, they all leave at the same time, with Soledad heading to the Boutique and Alina to the DNA test place.


In a café, Angel has met up with his older brother. Emilio looks pretty awful, with his Elvis sunglases. He looks like he’s hung over. He needs to talk to somebody before he goes crazy. He tells him that Alina is engaged to Rodrigo Ochoa. Angel is impactado.

Coral and Claudia have made another sale. Coral tells her to go ahead and take her lunch break. It’s almost 3.


At the prison, the soccer game is heating up. In the background shanks are being exchanged and batneck provokes a fight. This is pretext for the riot.


Angel and Emilio discuss the details of what Emilio knows about the Rodrigo-Alina thing. Angel isn’t buying it. He’s sure that they are just friends. Emilio says that maybe that is how it started. Angel is uncharacteristically firm. He tells Emilio that he must fight for Alina. Emilio adds that Alina is afraid that she will be blamed for his divorce. Angel says it doesn’t matter, he must make her see reason, she doesn’t love him. Emilio is buoyed by this information and smiles, saying that he’s going to fight. He gets up and leaves. Angel realizes he is late for Claudia. He figures he might as well blow her off completely and go see his doctor instead.


Back at the Prison riot, fists are flying. Batneck and DL stay out of it until the guards come then they give the signal and the inmates turn on the guards. Jailbreak!


Next we go to Rodrigo’s apartment. Mauricio, Dra. Aida Loca’s dud boyfriend fills him in on the big bustup. He tells it like she broke up with him but I remember it more like, she got caught and he walked out on her, but no matter. Maurico tells Rodrigo that Dra. Loca is in love with her patient…Alvaro Montellano. Rodrigo is impactado. He’s never known the identity of this mystery patient before.


At the jailbreak in progress, who should show up but Sergio. Somehow he’s just been sent over to this section and good timing too, or so he thinks. Don Loco is not interested in his help. Sergio is ticked off and warns the guard that DL is escaping.

Over at the DNA lab, Alina is having her blood drawn. She’s happy to get this out of the way. General Ochoa shows up to take custody of the results and chats with her. She tells him that she’s grateful to Rodrigo for guarding her but now she doesn’t really need protection anymore since her Dad is in jail. Ochoa is solicitous and asks her what she thinks of doing next. She tell him she’s always been interested in medicine, she learned a lot from Luba about herbs and she’d like to study some more. General Ochoa says he has a propostion for her.

At Rodrigo’s apartment, He’s serving coffee. Mauricio asks if Rod had any idea that Aida was in love with a patient. Rodrigo says no but he’ll talk to her. She has to put this behind her. Mauricio says he loves Aida and doesn’t want to lose her. Rod can’t believe she could lose everything…for this guy. The doorbell rings. It’s Emilio. He’s demanding a chat with Rod. GEE WHAT MONSTEROUSLY BAD TIMING, EMILIO! Rod looks like he wants to slug him.
At the jailbreak, DL and batneck sneak out past the guard. They scale a wall and some pals are waiting with a rope to rappel the rest of the way out.


At Rodrigo’s Mauricio can see the thunderclouds and he beats a hasty retreat. Emilio wants to have it out with Rod. Alina loves him. The only reason why she isn’t running to him is that she thinks that she is causing his divorce. Rod goes into the whole, leave her alone, you had your chance, she deserves to be happy, blah blah blah. They are both ready to fight for her.
At the jailbreak, Batneck is urging DL to climb the rope. But DL can see what batneck guy can’t—a guard with a sniper’s rifle, pointed at batneck guy’s head. Pop. Batneck guy falls over dead. DL surrenders. Jailbreak is over. On his way out, he sees Sergio with the guards and realizes that it was he who tipped off the guards that they were trying to escape. DL is pissed and hurls threats at Sergio that he’s going to pay for his treachery.


Alina is now sitting in General Ochoa’s office. He has suggested that he could recommend her for a place in the Military Nursing training program. Alina looks excited by the prospect although she is not sure that she would qualify. Apparently, all they need is a high school degree, so Alina is already qualified. Ochoa says he’ll put in her recommendation immediately so that she can get going right away. Alina is elated. Ochoa suggests they go tour the school now. Alina asks to make a phone call and Ochoa leaves the room to give some orders and says he’ll be back right away to take her.


Over at the Prison, DL is being hustled into Solitary Confinement. He’s in a tiny dark room with only a skylight. He continues cursing Sergio.


In puebla, Alfonsina is buying her “disguise” which apparently is just some frumpy indigenous peasant clothing and beribboned hair. Without her rack, abs and tush on full display, nobody will recognize her. It’s positively brilliant.


At the boutique, Soledad is getting Alina’s phone call. She’s happy for her daughter. She tells her she’ll be excited to talk about it with her later and they hang up. But, in the midst of her happiness Soledad starts having orange flashbacks about Don Loco’s cruelty toward her. She remembers slapping him and him knocking her to the floor. She starts crying. Coral sees her friend is having a bad moment and walks over to her. Soledad pretends that she’s crying from happiness that her daughter is excited about her new opportunity. But, she remembers the suffering…Coral tells her to forget that guy…he’ll never get out to harm them. They go to attend a new group of customers who have just walked into the shop.


At Casa Valtierra, Thelma is shouting for Angel, the maid tells her that Angel went out early. The SA tells her to calm down. Is she still thinking of dressing down Angel for setting up the Alina-Emilio reunion? Thelma says she needs somewhere to put her rage. She swears that that nosy invalid will feel her anger. SA looks horrified.


Over at the Hospital where Gaspar is a patient, The Virgin of Peace is paying him a visit.
Angel arrives at the boutique super late to apologize to Claudia. She’s already gone. Angel is nervous. Not a great impression to leave “the one” he has been spouting off about. Coral tells him that she looked a little sad when she left. Angel dishes out his lame excuses. Coral tells him that he’s a dweeb. He stood her up and now she’s thinking he’s a jerk. She’s going to require a really good apology. Coral tells him that she’ll tell Claudia he was there. Angel rushes out. Coral smiles to herself and exclaims “What is it about these Valtierra men that drives us crazy?”
Meanwhile, Alina is doing the grand tour of the Military nursing school. If she does go, she’ll definitely be the hottest nurse there. No sign of nurse Suzy and her tight whites. These Nurses are all business and snappy salutes. When they get back to the general’s office, Rodrigo shows up and notices her big smile. He is happy that she’s happy.


Angel has made it back to Casa Valtierra. He’s been coughing a little more. Thelma descends upon him like a vulture and starts berating him for setting up the meeting at the Boutique opening. Angel says that his brother has a right to be happy, “and with you he’s not.” Thelma starts to tell him it’s none of his business when Emilio walks in and tells her to shut up. He tells her that regardless of her engagement with Rodrigo, he’s going to fight for Alina’s love. Thelma is superslowmo impactada, although I’m not sure why because this should not be news to her.

Next up: the return of the singing Captain Valtierra complete with a 10 piece Mariachi band serenading Alina, just like old times….Que Romantico! But Thelma has plans that involve AMENAZAS and Rodrigo getting a taxi for Alina while Thelma waits in another taxi. Emilio files for divorce and his lawyer is none other than Mauricio, Dr. Loca’s erstwhile boyfriend. And yes…it’s ULTIMOS CAPITULOS folks!
