Acorralada #128 Monday 7/16/07 - One episode spans an entire year...
Next, at Lala's place, Lala and Diego discuss how sad it is that Paola is gone, and how upset Pancho will be when he hears the news. Diego mentions how surprises he was to see Octavia fall apart like that, but Lala was not... Octavia lost two children in just a few days.
Meanwhile, at Emilio's place, Diana is telling Maxito about his daddy and his aunt Paola, who are now together in heaven. Her cell phone rings and Max's voice says her name. She asks if it's Max, and if he's alive, but there's a commercial break before we learn whether he responds... After the commercial we hear Diana yelling "bueno" into the phone, but Max says nothing more.
At psycho mansion, Rodrigo mentions to Fedora how odd it was that Gaby didn't attend the funeral, but Fedora dismisses it. She figures Gaby wanted to avoid a fight with Kike, and it's probably better that way. Fedora also mentions how fitting it is that Octavia lost two of her children, considering that it was her fault that Fedora spent most of a lifetime without hers. Now Octavia will feel the same pain.
At the Irazabal rental house, Octavia is pacing around the pool in yet another black halter top sobbing over the death of her children when she suddenly takes her head in hear hands and fall face down into the pool. The scene ends with her floating face down in the pool. When Paco comes to visit Octavia, Yolanda finds her and runs back into the house calling to Paco for help. They both return and Paco pulls her seemingly lifeless body from the pool, then pushes on her chest a few times and she coughs up some water. Octavia's not going down that easily!
Fedora tells Rodrigo that she wants to wait a year before they wed because Diana is depressed over Max's death and she wants to make sure that both of her daughters are present and happy at her wedding. Just as Rodrigo agrees, Caramelo comes to tell Fedora that she and Paco are going on a trip - for a year! Fedora is impactada but tries to hide it from Rodrigo.
Diego shows up at Emilio's place to talk to Diana... he figures that since Max is dead, maybe they can start over. She tells him that will never happen because she'll never forgive him for kidnapping Max, to which he responds that he'll never give her a divorce.
Speaking of divorce, Paco lets Octavia know that he's filed for divorce, and now he's going on a trip with his daughter for a year. He was stupid to marry her, someone who is so worthless. He hates her with all of his heart for hiding his daughter from him.
Emilio is sad to hear that Caramelo's going to Puerto Rico for a year... he admits that since he met her he's been falling in love with her. She tells him that she needs time, and asks him to wait for her.
Diana goes to visit Isabel in jail to see why she poisoned her - was in revenge for the death of Andres? She tells her that it was all for the money. Debora was filled with hate and paid her to do it. Diana tells her that because of it, she will die in jail, but Isabel tells her that someday she will get revenge against both Gaby and Diana for what they've done.
Max tells Paco about his call to Diana, and Paco tells him that it was an unnecessary risk and he shouldn't do it again if he wants his plan to work.
Next we see flashes of life going on... Max lifting weights, Diana working as a nurse, Gaby spies on Larry while his fans surround him on the set of his novela, Pancho is trying to tunnel out of prison, Diana's dating Eduardo and Fiona doesn't look happy to see it, Max lifting weights and daydreaming about Diana, Silvia is dating Jorge (I think), Fedora looks miserable as she daydreams about Paco while Miguelina works on her wedding dress, Kike's beating Gaby, Emilio's missing Caramelo, Ignacio is dating Octavia!!! ICK. Camila is still heartbroken over Max, and finally they celebrate Maxito's first birthday, and talk about Fedora's wedding in just a few days.
Next there's a scene of a tired looking seamstress in Los Angeles receiving a call from her bratty blonde daughter who wants her mom to send more money. The woman promises to send it immediately, then hangs up and talks about how sometimes she feels like her daughter doesn't love her.
Next we see Pedro poolside in Atlanta. Apparently he's recovered his fortune - he's looking quite dapper in his button down shirt and sweater vest. He's reading about the upcoming nuptials of a man who was once his lawyer - Rodrigo Santana. He tells Max - who looks ridiculous with his new facial hair and Elvis sunglasses - that they should go to Miami for the wedding. max asks him who he's marrying and Max is impactado to hear that it's Fedora.
Fedora comes to the hospital to visit Diana and ask her when they're returning to the mansion and to the fabrica. Diana tells her that nursing is her vocation, and that she still needs time before she can move back to the mansion. Fedora tells Diana that although she's tried to forget about Paco, she hasn't, and she doesn't love Rodrigo, which is why she's not excited about the wedding. What's with these women?
In Los Angeles, the mystery woman - Virginia, tells her coworker that her daughter's father is Rodrigo! She never told him that she was pregnant.
Kike catches Gaby watching Larry's telenovela and threatens to beat her with his belt. Max needs to come back and beat the pulp outta Kike!
Speaking of Max's return, he and Pedro are discussing their return to Miami. They plan to attend the wedding - but this time Max will be Alejandro Salvatierra! This should be interesting...

Paco cursing Octavia and saying he wished he'd have come over ten minutes later was pretty harsh. I was kind of shocked to hear stuff like that for someone who's supposed to be one of the "good" guys.
The time lapse of Max was funny too. It only took him five or six months to achieve five o'clock shadow. Obviously growing facial hair is not one of his skills!
Thanks for the recap!
If Pedro has recovered his millions, why hasn't he replaced his teeth? But I actually disagree on Max's new look. Since I never liked his looks, I like his new look better, with the Bob Fosse goatee and glasses.
I'm sorry to see these new characters introduced, since it means more time for this doo doo to run.
If I was just tuning in, I'd be turning it off; the only thing keeping me here is the six months I've invested in Gaby and Larry/Yolanda and Renee.
Does anyone but me think Cousin Eddie is creepy?
