Caray, Caray!

While Rodrigo is mashing on Alina, his daughter comes in and catches them in the act. She is pissed. She yells that Alina isn’t her mom and she needs to get out.

Luba checks Gaspar for injuries. She tells him that they can’t return. She explains how everyone is riled up to kill them.

Rodrigo tries to explain to his daughter, but she just yells for Alina to get out. Alina offers to try and talk to the girl. Rodrigo wants an answer to his declaration that he wants to be with Alina forever, she says they’ll talk later. She goes to the girl’s room and begs her to lighten up already. I think this girl was in Suenos y Caramelos, my wife and son watched that every day last year. I think it’s the same girl. Alina tries to be nice to the girl, the girl just yells at her to leave.

Tina comes home and Rodrigo tells her what happened with Alina. Tina thinks it’s good that the girl saw, she won’t harbor any illusions.

Luba explains further to Gaspar that the people at LR want to kill them because of Alina’s death, they don’t know she is still alive.

Alina comes back and tells Rodrigo that the girl wouldn’t talk to her. She acts very knowledgeable about children, who knows how she knows anything about that. Rodrigo wants an answer to his lovey dovey kissy kissy, Alina says it’s better to just leave it this way, there can’t be anything between the two of them. Great. Alina can have non-relationship relationships with TWO guys now. Three if you count Angel.

Ifgenio bursts into the kitchen to talk to Vera and Mexican Larry. He says there are people by Alina’s grave and they look like they are from the city. Vera says finally someone is investigating whether or not her death was natural. They run off to go tell those people what they think they know about all that.

Rodrigo rightly assumes that Alina is bailing out because of her ‘past love’. She won’t talk about it, Rodrigo says he knows about it from Elias. She says she doesn’t know if the old love is over or not. Rodrigo is a little pushy about them getting together, Alina whines and moans and tries to turn him down. Then she says she’s not good enough. Finally she says fine, we can be together. I didn’t realize that was how these decisions were made.

Emiliooo sits at an outdoor café with a cigar. He tries to look dramatic while he thinks about Alina. He really does that a lot, where he goes to super extra effort to strike some kind of pensive or dramatic pose. It might work if he didn’t take like 5 full seconds getting the look together first.

Elias and Soledad talk about how they are going to court tomorrow. Soledad looks at Elias funny, I can’t tell if she is happy or if she feels nervous being alone in a room with him.

Alina and Rodrigo walk arm in arm through some outdoor area, I expect that they will happen to run into Emiliooo. Nope, they decide to go inside, but there is Emilioooo with his back to the door, being dramatic. They sit and order coffee. Emiliooo outside gets up to leave. Rodrigo pushes Alina some more to spill her sad story. Cripes dude give it a rest. Alina gets up to go to the bathroom. After she leaves, Emiliooo walks by and sees Rodrigo. They greet each other happily. They sit down and start talking. What’s up, how’s it going, they catch up. Alina comes out of the bathroom and sees Emiliooo’s back and hides. Emiliooo leaves, then Alina comes back out, trying to look normal. Rodrigo can tell, but she says she’s ok. She says she knows Emiliooo and says he was someone important to her, but of course that’s all she’ll say. Rodrigo is no dummy, he has that look on his face that all guys get when some girl they like refers to some other guy as “we were good friends” or “we went out a couple times.” Rodrigo knows how to read between those lines, obviously. He didn’t look happy at all.

Wet dog Angel enters Coral’s place. What’s up with his horrible new look? He didn’t look pitiful enough before, now he has to look like he just almost drowned? Ugh it’s horrible. Angel says Emilioooo saw him here, what if he sees Alina, oh my god, what are they going to do, etc etc. Coral says whatever she’ll take care of it. Whiny Angel can move on to worrying about something else. Some pretty girl knocks on the door and say she’s here about the ad in the paper, Angel just stares at her, thankfully we don’t get the camera angle that shows his pants tenting out. Coral sees him drooling and tells him to take hike, but nicely. He gets the hint finally and leaves.

Gasca is visiting Don Loco, Gasca is upset that DL doesn’t have his money, or something like that I think. I never understand the DL/Gasca jail conversations. They argue, that’s all I can figure out, then DL says that Elias has to be handled and tells his lawyer to give Gasca some money.

Alina says again she doesn’t want to talk about Emiliooo. Whatever.

Don Max gets out of a taxi outside Coral’s house, he is impressed.

Rodrigo tells Alina that he was telling someone about her today, all good things, she wants to meet her, so tonight they should all get together for dinner. Alina agrees.

Soledad asks Max what he’s doing here. He says he didn’t expect to find her there, at Coral’s house.

Vera, ML, and Ifgenio watch the people digging up Alina’s grave, they finally muster up the guts to go confront them.

Soledad tells Max to leave. He’s looking for Coral but she isn’t home. He wants to have a drink and talk to Soledad, she again tells him to leave. He rambles on about nothing. He tries to butter her up, but she isn’t having it. He tries to put some moves on her, finally he grabs her and she screams to let her go. Max has it in him to be a rapist after all, I guess.

Vera, ML and Iffy apparently lost their nerve, they are closer, but still just watching. The workers pull out the casket. It’s extremely white for having been underground. They pop the top, of course it’s empty. Vera faints. She’s a wuss.

Coral finally arrives in time to help Soledad. Max ends up smacking Coral down on the floor, Soledad defends herself with a fireplace poker. She has it pointed at Max. Meanwhile, Coral on the floor, wraps her legs around Max’s ankles and tips him forward. He impales himself on the poker. We get a commercial break to let us think about if he’s really dead or not.

Oh he’s dead all right. The poker went clean through him, he has blood gushing out of his mouth, he finally keels over completely dead. Well, Santos and Hottie Mom should be pleased with this outcome. Coral verifies that he’s dead by checking his pulse. 4 pints of blood on the floor didn’t convince you?

Ifgenio tells one of the grave-digger-uppers all about the witch (Luba) that obviously has something to do with Alina’s body being missing. The guy wants to know where this witch is.

Coral cries and whines, “What are we going to do?” Um, how about call the cops and tell the truth? Nah that would never work. Soledad cries that she didn’t mean to do it. Just then Adela comes in with groceries, so that she could dramatically drop them in shock. Coral says they should just hide the body. Soledad finally says they should call the cops, she starts to dial the phone.

ML, Vera, and Iffy tell the dudes that they will agree to help accuse the witch.

Coral vows to back up Soledad’s story when the cops come. Adela just sits on the couch freaking out.

Back at the ranch, Thelma vows to her Singing Aunt that Alina, if she’s alive, will not stand in her way. She says something about dinner with Rodrigo. Emiliooo, who was walking in, overhears and wants to know what’s up.

Meanwhile Alina and Rodrigo are just now exiting the café. I was wondering how Emiliooo got back to SE so fast, but then I remember that they are all back in Puebla now. Ohhh it’s all coming together now – this friend that Rodrigo is referring to must be Thelma. Sorry, I haven’t been able to keep up with the story this week. I’m flying somewhat blind, I don’t know what happened since last Friday. I have to tell you that it is surprisingly easy to just pick back up a week later without knowing what happened. I mean AMAZINGLY easy. That’s not a good thing. Maybe they do that on purpose so people will still watch the show if they miss a day or two, but it makes for dull, repetitive episodes. As we all well know. Rodrigo tells Alina to invite her mother along to dinner too. Alina quickly spills all of her mother’s private business to this guy, about DL and his jealousy problem. Now Rodrigo has ANOTHER friend, who has a patient with the same jealosy problem. This is the crazy shrink chick, right? So everybody knows everybody else.

Thelma says she met Rodrigo at a club or something and he invited her and a friend out to dinner. Emiliooo says he just saw Rod and he never mentioned about having dinner with Thelma. She says she didn’t get a chance to tell him that she and Emiliooo are married, Emiliooo says then he’ll be surprised when we show up together! Thelma makes excuses, but Emiliooo says as the husband he has to go.

Rodrigo’s cell phone rings, he tells whoever is on the other end that he’ll be there right away. It was Coral. They leave to go to the house. Alina is fighting another great battle with yet another tight low cut shirt.

Don Loco lays on his bed and mumbles in his sleep. In his dream then, I’m assuming, some high heels walk to his cell and the door opens. Some woman with boobs all over the place is in a nightgown and enters his cell. Is this the crazy shrink chick? DL totally stares at her boobs before looking back up at her face. Well, he has been in prison after all. They start making out. Is it just me being a guy, or does every love scene involving Don Loco totally freak you out too? The lady’s face turns into Soledad’s face (of course) and she starts accusing him of cheating on her. He freaks out and wakes up. Yawn.

The cops ask Soledad what happened, there is a CSI guy there taking pictures. Hey, that would make this show way better – they could have a CSI style episode to solve the Don Max murder. Then they could look at all the evidence in Alina’s empty grave. With all the shooting that has gone on here (See Carmel’s Trying To Translate blog for details on that) there would be a lot for the forensics team to work on. Oh well we can dream. Soledad explains briefly what happened, the cop says they have to lock her up for now. Coral freaks out and says that’s crazy, if anyone should be locked up it would be her, for pushing Max onto the poker. Soledad stares at her, apparently ready to let her take the fall for it.

SA and Thelma try to figure out how to keep Emiliooo away from the dinner.

Soledad actually does try to argue with Coral, but Coral insists that SHE is the one who accidentally killed Max. Does she know that Don Loco is in jail and that maybe Soledad would run into him if she ends up there? Soledad finally says no, she has to tell the truth, SHE is the one who killed Max. As she’s saying this, Alina walks in and says “uh, what, Mom? You killed him? Why?” Soledad tells her what happened. She also rightly says that she has to tell the truth. One cop puts cuffs on Soledad, in spite of Rodrigo saying it isn’t necessary. Alina starts ugly crying. She is a fantastic ugly crier, nobody that hot should be able to cry that ugly.

Emiliooo tells a coughing Angel that this whole dinner thing is very strange. Nice work Sherlock.

Coral gives her statement at the police statement, Alina whines about not getting to see her mom. Coral comes out, Adela goes in to give her statement. Elias shows up and is immediately ready to go after Max when he hears about the attempted rape, but Alina tells him that Max is already dead. Alina frets some more. Rodrigo says he’ll make sure she is treated well. Elias wants to know why Max was in Puebla in the first place. He thinks it will be easy for Soledad to get out of jail, everyone knows that Max is a louse.

DL dreams that he is going to open the box, but Luba stops him. She says if he opens it he’ll go crazy. He wakes up screaming that he’s not crazy. Yelling to an empty room. Some guards enter, he starts yelling at them that he isn’t crazy. Sure dude, whatever you say.

Soledad sits in her cell with some crazy lady and worries about being locked up. The crazy lade wants her to drink with her. Crazy lady drinks from her bottle and belches. Nice. The crazy lady calls her ‘fresita’ but I don’t know what that means.

Coral and Adela try and get Alina to calm down. I think Alina is happy to have something useless to worry about again. It completes her. Coral tells Alina that Emiliooo is coming to her house the next day so Alina can’t be there.

Elias visits Soledad, she actually grabs his hands. Oh SURE now that you’re locked up and you need help, NOW you’re nice to this guy. So fake. Whatever Soledad, as soon as you’re out you’ll get all too good for him again. I know your type. She even says he is her only true friend. What a user.

Crazy shrink, with her boobs under wraps this time, asks DL about his dream. He admits that the doctor was in the vision he had. She wants details, he starts trying to run his hand up her skirt. She stands up but has to admit to him that she has had the same thoughts. They whisper to each other and start making out. Puke city. We get the impression that they lay down, thankfully the scene changes before we have to see that.

DL is suddenly sitting at a table with Alfonsina, who unfortunately has all of her talents under wraps as well. She is there trying to badmouth Hugo. DL says he needs Hugo, so that he’ll help DL. Alfonsina says she’ll help too. He says he doesn’t know who to trust, she insists that she’s on his side. She tells him she has always loved him. The crazy shrink chick hears this last part – what is it with people always walking in to hear the end of a conversation? Super duper cliché alert here. Cripes. Anyway, she overhears and DL tries to act all casual about it, meanwhile the crazy shrink chick and Alfonsina stare each other down. Maybe they need to have some sort of naked wrestling match or something? I’ll make sure to check out Monday’s episode if that’s what happens.

Monday – Rodrigo tells Emiliooo, Thelma, and SA that Max was killed. SA is muy impactada. Angel was there too apparently, he just looks confused. Oh! Looks like there will be a girl fight after all, but it is Coral and Thelma and they have clothes on. Oh well. OH OH OH OH OH! Did I really just see what I think I saw? ULTIMAS SEMANAS. I actually let out a loud whoop here at home. ULTIMAS SEMANAS!
