Caray, Caray!

Ladies and Gentlemen, your recappers have about had it. This is a quickie summary of Friday, which I just watched. We are skipping Thursday. All you really need to know about Thursday is that Larry manages to get the lock open on the car repair shop, and he and Silvia escape out the window. At the same time, the nice lady had called the cops, so we hear sirens. Did Panchi and Halcon get caught? See below.
Later, Silvia recounts her experience with Diana and Emilio.

Friday:

Silvia and Emilio go to Paco's bar, where guess who showed up: the Trannies! Didn't I predict that they would show up soon? The trannies are now performing at the bar in outlandish flamenco getups. They begin gyrating and waving their fans and Silvia can't contain herself. Emilio and Jorge try to stop her, but no, she runs onstage in her Betty Boop outfit and tries to butt in. The audience loooks on in hysterics as Silvia finally pushes her way in front and dewigs the trannies. Triumphant, she prances around the stage solo as her ex-friends exit.

Roddy is in Los Angeles. He runs into Sharon (the brat) and Virginia (the brat's mother). There are two very boring scenes here where Virginia does not reveal the truth and the brat tries to find out what he's up to.

Diego, having found out about Aljeandro, wants to find out where Diana stands on him. He visits her and demands to know what she thinks. Then he leaves.

"Alejandro" plots to sleep with Marfil, to use her in his anti-Diego/Iggy plot. He now knows, via Fiona, that Marfil and Diego are getting it on, but they are just friends between the "sabanas" (sheets). Alejandro kisses Fiona at the club.

"Alejandro" shows up unannounced at the fabrica. Of course, Fidiota agrees to see him. He wants to buy shares in the factory, as he wants to get into the perfume business. (another brilliant disguise move). (And when businessmen want to buy shares in companies don't they always just show up without appointments?) Fidiota refuses, as the business is just a family business. Alejandro departs.

The most bizarre development of today is the following: We see Caramelo and Paco strolling around Puerto Rico again. Caramelo decides to go in a church. Who should spy her going in but our old friend Panchi Panchi. Have I missed something here? How did he escape after the kidnapping? More to the point, how did he fly to Puerto Rico? Or did he take a rowboat? He's a wanted prison escapee! And of course, how did he manage to be standing right near the church that Caramelo is visiting? This takes the cake.

Caramelo goes into the confession booth and starts talking to the Padre, who is none other than Pancho. She starts talking about her husband and he replies and she thinks she recognizes the voice. He immediately lowers it very convincingly. There follows a long discussion about how bad her husband was and he married her sister at the same time. The "Padre" says, well, he didn't know they were sisters. How did you know? Oops, er, god knows, or some such.
Caramelo keeps saying that this is the strangest priest she's ever encountered. Anyway, she's leaving her husband, and the divorce will be final in a few days. Impactado, Pancho tries to persuade her to go back to her husband and not disturb the sacrament of marriage! (They weren't even married in the church, not to mention that he never kept the sacrament of marriage.) Later, Caramelo talks again with Paco. She tells him about the strange priest who she's going back to see again.

Diana goes to the club, and she's wearing that hideous red tube top over the white shirt again. Octavia is there with Iggy, and Octavia starts in again about how low-class Diana is and she was once Octy's servant. Diana reminds her that it's Octy who's the low-born naca who took over the business by murder. Diana is a Garces Ledesma! Octy is only an Irascible by marriage. (There also seems to be something allusion to Octy having married up to get into the Irascible family--an igualada!) I was hoping someone would get thrown in the pool today, but no luck.


Just then "Alejandro" comes in, and Octy feels faint. They talk. Although Max hates his mother, isn't this just too much. And meanwhile, he somehow has managed not to hear that Paola is dead. So when Octy says that she has also lost a daughter, he says, in shock and horror, Paola (or something I can't remember what) that tends to reveal he's Max. Oops. Credits roll.
