Acorralada #132 Monday 7/23/07

I'll keep this short and sweet... all of Miami is fooled by Alejandro Salvatierra. Fiona is trying to seduce him, Marfil is telling her to back off. Marfil even went so far as to go to the hospital to tell Diana that if she and Max are in this together, there's gonna be trouble. She threatens Diana with a letter opener to really get her point across. All the ladies are fawning over Alejandro Salvatierra.

So far Camila's the only one who's truly convinced that Alejandro is really Max in disguise. She figures that he's returned to get revenge against Ignacio and Diego, and tells Ignacio as much while they're on the beach. Too bad they never turned to see "Alejandro" standing behind some bushes and listening to their every word!

When Octavia sees him, she nearly faints. Fiona explains to him that she's impactada because not only did she lose her son, but her daughter died when she was hit by a car. Max is impactado. He goes off by himself to cry, but that seems to be out of his range. He squints his eyes, but can't manage to invoke a single tear.

The highlight of today's show is that crazy Pancho is still impersonating a priest so that he can listen to Caramelo's confessions and advise her against getting involved with Emilio.

Max and Pedro are discussing the latest events when Max clues him on on his plan - he intends to make sure that Diego is homeless and without a job! I can't wait to see how he plans to make this happen.

Eduardo and Max/Alejandro run into each other at the beach, and Eduardo tells Max/Alejandro that he and Diana are more than friends, they're "casi novios" and he intends to marry her. Later he tells Ignacio what he said to Max, and admits that it's not exactly true - he just wants Max to stay away from her. Eduardo, Eduardo -don't sink to Iggy's level!

Rodrigo is suspicious about the paternity of Virginia's daughter Sharon. He remembers that they were novios, he planned to marry her, when she disappeared from his life. So is Sharon his daughter or was she cheating on him? Meanwhile, evil Sharon is pressuring her mother to tell her the truth about Rodrigo.

Caramelo begins to suspect that something is unusual about this priest when he calls her "Caramelito de Anis." She asks to see his face, but he quickly leaves the vestibule and walks out of the church as he says that he's very ugly. He rushes from the church and runs into Paco on the steps! Paco confronts him, then Caramelo catches up to him. They try to get an explanation, but he runs to the street and gets in a taxi. Caramelo runs after him and gets in another taxi and tells the driver to follow him.

Marfil is talking to Larry about Alejandro. Larry hasn't seen him yet, but he's sure that it's not his brother because his brother wouldn't pretend to be someone else.

In an attempt to see if Alejandro is really Max, Iggy invites him to his apartment for coffee. Max accepts, which results in the scene worthy of the "most bizarre scene" award for today's episode. Iggy pours him a drink as he talks about losing his license and having to borrow money from his cousin. He may even have to declare bankrupty. Oh, by the way Alejandro, who I just met, can I borrow $10,000?

Diana takes an afternoon off from nursing so that she can visit Fedora and Gaby at the fabrica, where Fedora encourages her to marry Eduardo. What's with this lady and the arranged marriages? Enough already! Gaby tells her not to marry a man she's not in love with, as it will just make her an infeliz. Fedora is surprised to hear Gaby say this, and asks if Kike makes her feel this way. Gaby denies it and says that Kike loves her and treats her like a princess, but she just isn't in love with him.

And the closing scene: Alejandro agrees to lend Iggy the money, but he wants Iggy's apartment as collateral. Iggy agrees. credits roll.

Thanks for the recap! =)
 

I didn't watch this. Thanks for the recap. I think the most ridiculous thing has to be Fedora trying to match Diana with Eduardo, although to her credit this time, she thinks Max is dead, so it's no longer a case of her trying to forbid Max as a match.

I'm glad Roddy is away in L.A. so we don't have to see any more of those awkward bedroom scenes between Fedora and Roddy.
 

Don't know how "Max" will leave Diego homeless unless Lala throws him out...as far as I know his piano lessons never allowed him to move away from mama in the first place.

Now he might leave Iggy homeless. He got Iggy to agree (handshake only so far) that he's put up his apartment as a guarantee for the loan. Iggy was a little incredulous, but agreed. How he hopes to pay back a loan, I have no idea.

Poor Camila is the only woman not hot for Alejandro...she's scared that it's really Max and she'll be off to jail as an accomplice.
 

Actually, Roddy is back from LA, and there was one short bedroom scene where they were kissing before breakfast. I was trying to block it from my memory so I left it out of the recap!
 

Thanks, Amy! I think my favorite part was Puncho, Caramel, and Pasta are all supposedly in Puerto Rico, yet the cabs they all jumped into had Florida license plates!
 

Ha, ha! that is hysterical, Karen!
