Acorralada Tuesday 7/10/07 - Is Max Alive?

I'm going to keep Tuesday's recap short and sweet...

We begin with a scene where Octavia receives a phone call saying that the manicomio is burning! She tells Larry, Yolanda, and Marfil and they all run off to see if Max is alive.

Gaviota wants Diana to move back to the mansion, but Diana says no because Gav won't accept that Max is the love of her life. Gaviota drowns her sorrows at Paco's bar where she cries on Rodrigo's shoulder about how her daughters don't love her.

Camila finally realized that by burning the manicomio, they've killed Max! She comes totally unglued when this hits her.

Of course Max is not dead... he not only escaped the fire, but he took loco Pedro with him. Pedro plans to repay him when he recovers the millions of dollars that his brother stole from him. When he does that, they can get a lawyer who will give them new ID's that show Max's new name: Alejandro Salvatierra. They sleep on a beach where they're found the next morning by a humble fisherman and his daughter. The fisherman reminds me of "El Grillo" who rescued Diana. It's probably the same guy, they just left off the straw hat and overalls. The fisherman gives them food and clean clothes.

Max now remembers who Diana is, and he also remembers that she betrayed him by sleeping with Diego, so he hates her.

Octavia and the rest of the Irazabals are searching the rubble for Max. Diana, Emilio, Gaviota, and Rodrigo are all there too - the place is still burning but the firemen don't seem to mind all of these civilians gettting in their way. The director finally tells them that they've rounded up all of the surviving patients, and Max isn't one of them. He's dead.

Yolanda tells Rene that they must postpone the wedding because Max died last night. Rene is impactado.

Octavia goes to the hospital to tell Paola the news - against Paco's wishes. He doesn't think she's strong enough to handle it. He must be right - the news shocks her into a screeching fit and then we hear a beep. I was sure that she was dead, but it turns out that she's just in a coma.

Isabel has started working as Maxito's nanny, and prepares Diana a cup of poison tea and chats with her while Diana drinks it. She mentions to Diana that Gaby's trial starts today, which Diana didn't know or couldn't remember. Isabel is thinking to herself that Diana needs to drink the tea, which will "dry her up?" and soon the pain will be unbearable. Diana only takes a few sips and puts the cup down, but when she gets up to check on Maxito, she doubles over with stomach pain and falls to the floor. Credits roll.

I think my favorite part of this episode was in the scene where Gaviota is drinking in the bar. Rodrigo tells her that when she drinks she becomes "una mujer irascible"...gee, I thought I was the only one who thought she was turning into Octavia :)
 

That is pretty hilarious. I thought it was funny how they were searching the rubble. Diana stands in one place and yells ineffectively "Maximiliano! Maximiliano!" Next thing we know she's home, getting poisoned.
 

Thanks for the recap! =)
