Duelo Tuesday 7/10 - Is Soledad real, or merely a figment of his imagination?
DonLoco startles Coral at the boutique. He demands that she tell him where Soledad is. She begs him to let her go but he ties her up instead. DonLoco doesn't like to be told what to do.
At La Rinconada Thelma accuses Orlando of looking for Gaspar instead of working on the highway. She's wearing what looks like a pair of charro pants in keeping with her role of head cowgirl of the manor. She tells Orlando she's not returning to Puebla until she sees him leave WITHOUT Gaspar. Orlando pours himself a drink.
Luba and Gaspar play with their handheld radios. Standing right next to each other they take turns..."Gaspar, Gaspar." "Mama, mama." "Gaspar, Gaspar, it's mama Luba." "Mama, mama, it's Gaspar here."
Orlando taunts Thelma, wouldn't it be amusing if Gaspar showed up in Puebla and told Emilio about his cachorrito? Thelma retorts that since the cops are after them they are probably hidden far away. Orlando taunts her some more, lies about why he is still there, tells her to be tranquil, chugs his drink, and splits. "I would be tranquil if Luba and Gaspar were dead," she mutters.
Claudia lays on her bed and thinks of Angel. Rosendo enters, smothers her face with chloroform, throws her unconscious body on the bed, and vows he will "make her his."
**Commercial reminder - there will be no Duelo tomorrow due to the Mexico vs. Argentina futbol match.
Rosendo lies on Claudia and kisses her face. This reminds me of when Orlando was trying to make Alina "his." Remember what a flop he was? Oops, did I say flop? Heh heh. Oh right, we're with Rosendo now. Rosendo is interrupted by a knock at the door. He closes the bedroom curtains.
Angel is at the door relentlessly knocking. Rosendo finally answers and claims Claudia isn't at home. Angel weakly tries to force his way in but Rosendo easily blocks him and shuts the door in his face. Angel yells for Claudia at her window but cannot see in because the curtains are closed.
Emilio, accompanied by his own singing, lamely tells Alina that she will get better. Their love is stronger than all obstacles and if they are together then nobody and nothing will separate them. This is news to us of course and apparently it's news to Alina too, she dreams that her casket is being lowered into the ground. Soledad, Adela, Angel and Coral sob at the grave. Alina wakes up in the casket and hears the sobs. "They think I'm dead. Let me out," she screams over and over! Nobody hears her and the casket is covered with dirt. Suddenly a light shines on her. It's DonLoco, "you're not dead? You will be!"
Soledad tells Elias she's having a bad premonition about DonLoco and Alina. She's going to call Coral at the boutique and find out if Alina called her.
Feverish, delirious Alina tells Emilio she's worried about her mother. She must get well for her mother.
Coral tells DonLoco that she doesn't know where Soledad and Elias are. He tells her that patience isn't one of his virtues. He threatens her until she gets on her knees and begs for her life. Coral, have a little pride! He points his gun at her and this seems to piss her off. She tells DonLoco that Soledad will never be happy by his side. Coral, have a little sense! Suddenly someone enters the boutique and yells for Coral. DonLoco points his gun at her head and says he'd like a reason to send her to the other world.
DonLoco peeks around the door. It's Dra. Loca! What's she doing there? He unties Coral and tells her to get rid of the doctora.
Head nurse Valentina is in the middle of complimenting her charges and giving them instructions for administering the new and improved antibiotic when one of the nurses discovers that Alina's sheets are the same ones used by the rotovirus patients. Somebody must have put them there to deliberately infect Alina!
Coral tries to hint to Dra. Loca that DonLoco is in the vicinity. Unfortunately Dra. Estupida doesn't get the hints. She spouts off that one of her theories is that DonLoco might show up at the boutique to lie in wait for Soledad. Coral is making crazy eye movements and thinking "No duh, sombrera de culo, follow my eyes!" Meanwhile DonLoco thought bubbles that Dra. Loca has also betrayed him. Coral gives up trying to give clues to the clueless so she just tries to get the doctora to leave. Dra. Loca asks Coral why she's so nervous.
Emilio gives water to a grateful Alina. Personally I would be suspicious about drinking water if I lived in Escondidaville. So far water has killed one man and given the rotovirus to Alina. Rodrigo enters to update Emilio on the bridge project. Emilio says he's responsible for the project and should go back to it. Rodrigo tells him that as a military officer he also has a moral responsibility...he should remain at Alina's side. Blech.
Rodrigo (sans mask) sits next to Alina. As Margaret noted, these folks play fast and loose with the rotovirus. Some wear masks, some don't, I'm confused. Emilio assigns Rodrigo to be in charge of the bridge project in his place.
Head Nurse Valentina enters with odd news to report. It seems that somebody put contaminated sheets on Alina's bed. Emilio is impactado. Alina sits up, she's impactada too.
Emilio the astute says "are you trying to tell me that someone deliberately infected Alina?" "That's right dumbass," retorts nurse Valentina. Not really, but she should have. Emilio says he can only imagine who might have done the deed. He rushes out with a mystery expression on his face, anger probably.
Angel has managed to accost Claudia's mother. He tries to convince her that her husband is up to no good. If he weren't then why is he locked in the house with Claudia and with all the curtains closed?
Coral hems and haws, she's got a lot of work, but she still keeps flitting her eyes over to the area of DonLoco in the hopes that Dra. Estupida will get it. OMG, Dra. Estupida concludes her visit by stating "at least Alvaro Montellano will never suspect that Soledad and Elias are hidden in San Mateo." She suggests that Coral close her boutique for a while just in case. Then she leaves. Finally!!
Coral begs DonLoco not to look for Soledad. He slaps her unconscious. "Before I leave I have to decide what to do with you," he mutters ominously. Uh oh, things aren't looking good for Coral.
Rosendo caresses Claudia's lifeless body when suddenly his wife and Angel burst into the room. At last she sees him for the infeliz maldito that he is. He's disgusting, revolting, she says. She chases him out of the house.
Emilio shows the infected sheets to Karla and asks who put them on Alina's bed. He should wrap her head in them but he doesn't.
In San Mateo Elias and Soledad return to their hotel and get their keys from the desk clerk. A man in black leans against the wall. He turns around. It's Don Loco! How did he get there so fast? What did he do with Coral? He strolls over to the clerk and asks for a room.
Thelma pays a visit to Ingeniero Nunez of the highway project. She's on a fact-finding mission to see if Orlando has told her the truth. Surprise! His work for the highway finished days ago. Thelma thought bubbles that she was right, Orlando is there to find Gaspar, he must know Gaspar's location.
It's night and a big moon hangs over the land. Soledad calls Coral's house but Adela reports that she hasn't seen a sign of Coral all day nor has Alina called.
Karla asks Emilio why does he think SHE is the one who infected Alina with rotovirus? Emilio asks, "how did you know they were infected? I only asked who put them on Alina's bed." Busted! She tries to weasel her way out but Emilio continues to accuse her. In fact he's going to write her up and report her.
In the kitchen of La Rinconada Vera the bloodthirsty tries to convince Orlando that Luba and Gaspar's fate should be left to the village idiots. Orlando points out to her that her way could make them murderers. Does she want to be a criminal? This query seems to confuse her, but I doubt it will dissuade her.
DonLoco, standing outside the hotel, calls the local police. He's posing as a police officer from Puebla. He asks the local sheriff to form a perimeter around the hotel. He is after a dangerous fugitive. After he hangs up he vows, "I'm going to make a visit to my woman." Wow, who knew it was that easy to get cops to do stuff?
Karla begs Emilio not to report her, she needs the job. Job? Her job of sneaking into men's tents? Or maybe her job of walking around camp wearing only a towel? Or perhaps her job of tormenting the young nurses who have arrived to save lives? Or her job as Typhoid Karla, out to infect the world with rotovirus? Emilio finally consents to not reporting her as long as she takes on Alina's nursing reponsibilities. (!?!) Karla whines that she doesn't want to, it's too dangerous. Que? She was waltzing around the infirmary without a mask and handling infected sheets. Now she worries?
Vera and Orlando get into it about who gets to do what to Luba and Gaspar. She says the village idiots are pretty angry at them, he responds that she will be held responsible if something bad happens. Thelma enters to bust up the fun. She wants to know why Orlando didn't leave days ago when he finished his job.
Alina dreams of her night of love with Emilio. His singing accompanies her dreams of his slobbery kisses. "Emilio I love you so much," she sighs. Good God, does she never tire of this crap?
Orlando tells Thelma he stayed around in case he had to protect Luba and Gaspar from the madding crowd. Thelma doesn't buy it, he's there because he wants to confront Emilio with them. He says he's going to give them a couple of days more to return to Escondidaville, then he will give up. Thelma doesn't believe he's capable of giving up his plans of vengeance, she knows him too well and he hates Emilio too much. She walks out and mutters that she'd be happy if Orlando changed, but she suspects sooner or later Luba and Gaspar will show up. Alone in the kitchen Orlando stuffs food into a bag.
Adela calls around for Coral. How odd, where could she be? Cut to Coral, alive (hoorah!!) but tied up in her boutique. Back to Adela, "Oh right, she's probably visiting her pals at the Cave, maybe I'll go look for here there." I think Adela's just using her boss's absence as an excuse to go out and whoop it up at the Devil's Cave.
Gaspar drives Luba crazy by running from radio to radio and talking to himself. Suddenly the door opens...who is it? Anticlimax, it's Orlando of course. Luba tells him she's tired of hanging around. When is he going to get them out of there?
Soledad frets to Elias that she hasn't heard from Alina. There is a knock at the door. It's their guard; he informs them that there will be a routine inspection of the hotel. Soledad immediately suspects DonLoco, but Elias says Vargas would have sent reinforcements if that were the case. For some reason he leaves Soledad in the room and accompanies the guard. He tells her to lock the door well. Don Loco lurks outside her room. She locks the door, deadbolt and chain.
DonLoco approaches the door. He's about to knock when someone calls his name. It's Soledad. How did she get outside the room? Is it another one of his hallucinations? She says she knew he'd find her. He reaches out but she pulls back. She says it's not necessary to use force. She's inclined to do what he says but he must forget his thoughts of vengeance. They need to talk somewhere where nobody can find them. They leave together. Hmmm...maybe she's not a hallucination.
Head nurse Valentina and Emilio bring Karla to apologize to Alina. They tell Alina that Karla will be doing her work while she recovers. Apparently Typhoid Karla isn't actually qualified to do Alina's work so Valentina will have to tutor her. Karla makes a cat butt face.
Soledad tells DonLoco that she never betrayed him with Elias. She never stopped loving him. They embrace. He says he knew she would forgive him. He wants to take her far away to a new start in a new country. She doesn't know if she wants to live her life in hiding.
DonLoco asks her will she forgive him? If they are together he'll never again give her cause to distrust him. "Yes Alvaro, I'll forgive you," she responds, "and I'll go with you wherever you want." They kiss. Hell, this has got to be a hallucination! Even stupid Soledad couldn't be this idiotic.
DonLoco says the worst thing he did was cause the death of their daughter, their Alina, fruit of their love. He flashes back to a time when he denied to Alina that she was his daughter. Alina begs him and tells him that her mother never betrayed him. "Ma loves you and I love you too, papito. You're my example, the person in whom I placed all my trust." Back to reality and DonLoco is super slo-mo impactado.
Advance - Some guy (Rodrigo?) goes flying down a zip line, wheeeee! But oops, he falls into the raging river.

Thanks Silvia, Karla's cat butt face is a perfect description! I wouldn't want Karla 'taking care of' me.
Don Loco is an amazing man--got to San Mateo in just minutes after punching the lights out of yet another women. He got a shower, shave and found a new outfit, along with the perfect accessories.
Maybe Adela will save Luba & Gaspar from the lunch crowd--or make that the lynch crowd...

I couldn't believe how fast the Rosendo-Claudia--Mom thing wrapped up. That scene took literally seconds. All because Angel told her that Rosendo and Claudia were home alone with the curtains closed. I guess in this case, jealousy isn't your worst enemy. I wonder if Mom would have blamed Claudia again if she hadn't been unconscious.
This show isn't strong at the moment its comeing to a close and it seems like the ending is just gonna have everything stuffed in the bag.
well atleast no ones after the box! I dont think the box will even make it to don locco!

I remember that from Monday's show, about the cofre. The whole world is looking for that thing, and Gaspar is just carrying it under his arm like it's nothing. I guess Orlando doesn't know about the COFRE or he would have tried to take it.
I didn't watch last night, but I'm going to tonight just to see Luba and Gaspar playing with the radios. Great recap Sylvia, good luck on your other show!

Sylvia~~~~An excellent recap, as always. How did Gaspar get THE COFRE ??? I am getting confused. And, what was the purpose of the 2way radio schtick between Gaspar and Mama ???? It reminded me of those ''Can you hear me now???'' commercials...just more estupido. Also, the ''cat butt face '' comment reminded me of a face that my older daughter made when she was about 12 after going to the vet's with our black lab as she was trying to re-enact the look on a cat's face when its temp was being taken ....a real wide-eyed, impactado look. It is now a family legend ...our own reference point for any situation that causes that ''muy impactado'' look. Karla is a charmer. She could give Thelma a run for her money. Why have they stopped focusing on Thelma and introduced Evil Woman Numero 2 at this late date???? And, concerning Emilioooo's bedside visit to the ailing , recently deflowered Alina ...at least , we have to give some credit to him for not trying to do some grabbing while Alina was unconscious. Thank you , Emiliooo, for holding yourself in check while our heroine was out like a light.

Gosh, I'd almost forgotten about The Cofre. That's why Luba and Gaspar traveled back to Escondidaville, to retrieve The Cofre so Luba could reveal its contents to DonLoco. Now they have to make their way through the bloodthirsty village idiots to deliver it. Of course nobody knows where DonLoco is and since Soledad is probably only his hallucination there's no telling where he'll end up. There was a flash advance of Gaspar being held captive by somebody so things might not be looking good for him and/or Luba. Also, she gave her good luck charm to Raquel, this I perceive as a bad omen.
Thanks Chris, Yo Amo a Juan Querendon is silly, funny, and blissfully free of violence except for one suicide in the first episode. I'm really enjoying it so far.

Gaspar and Luba with the 2-way radios had me cracking up. Especially when she went outside to see if he could hear her inside, and he came to the window to answer her. LOL! And him going back and forth between radios, talking to himself. In this "lovely" novela where women are regularly beaten and the bodies are stacking up like cordwood, this was comedic laugh was welcome indeed.
Emilio finally consents to not reporting her as long as she takes on Alina's nursing reponsibilities. (!?!)
You're kidding. Let the same dangerous person who tried to harm the victim take care of said victim while they're sick. What the hell sense does THAT make?? Who wrote this script??

I would have Karla locked up so fast for attempted murder, it would make your head spin. I guess she needs to be around and on camera for some reason, so locking her up would prevent that. Ridiculous, I agree.
Susanlynn - great point about boob-grabber Emiliooo. I'm sure at this point he considers Alina his property body and soul, so he did show quite a bit of restraint. "Oh you feel hot? Let's get you out of this uniform..."

Yes, Ferro... We all know Emiliooo quite well now, so let's applaud the restraint shown. Note : Someone at the nurses' association may want to rethink the uniform design...that zipper. However, I, personally , love those little hats...which American nurses have abandonned. I've never wanted to be a nurse, but I think the hat might be fun to wear. Maybe, I'll start a trend and wear one to teach...and a mask....and flipflops...but ixnay on the zippered top. P.S. I guess there's no ''Duelo'' tonight [Wed.]

Sylvia, thanks for the delightful recap! Is this the last one for Duelo? If so, you’re going out with a splash!
“She begs him to let her go but he ties her up instead. DonLoco doesn't like to be told what to do.” LOL, there’s an understatement!
“Luba and Gaspar play with their handheld radios. Standing right next to each other they take turns..."Gaspar, Gaspar." "Mama, mama." "Gaspar, Gaspar, it's mama Luba." "Mama, mama, it's Gaspar here."” LOL! I had a wonderful picture of this scenario in my head from the description.
“Claudia lays on her bed and thinks of Angel. Rosendo enters, smothers her face with chloroform, throws her unconscious body on the bed, and vows he will "make her his."” Eeeew. Angel should have done him in when there was a chance.
“one of the nurses discovers that Alina's sheets are the same ones used by the rotovirus patients. Somebody must have put them there to deliberately infect Alina!” That’s pretty perceptive. How did anyone know that? Are they marked differently? (I didn’t see the epi).
“Emilio the astute says "are you trying to tell me that someone deliberately infected Alina?" "That's right dumbass," retorts nurse Valentina. Not really, but she should have.” ROTFL! Great one, Sylvia! Yes, she should have.
Oh, how I hope Coral will live long enough to bust stupid, imbecile Dra. Loca for her transgression. What a fool this woman is!
“Rosendo caresses Claudia's lifeless body when suddenly his wife and Angel burst into the room. At last she sees him for the infeliz maldito that he is. He's disgusting, revolting, she says.” Hallelujah. It’s about time something went right on this novela for someone.
“Emilio shows the infected sheets to Karla and asks who put them on Alina's bed. He should wrap her head in them but he doesn't.” What was that you said to me once? “Ten points from the Russian judge?” All ten are yours, muchacha!
Well, Emilio may be stupid most of the time, but the way he questioned Karla to bust her was pure genius. I hope he reports her big time, like he said he would do.

Sylvia~~~Any new info on our PIRATES ???? I loved the pics and trailer at the site you gave us. I wonder how the shooting is going. YOHOHO.

"He rushes out with a mystery expression on his face, anger probably." Hahahahahahahaa! That really sums Emilio up!
"Job? Her job of sneaking into men's tents? Or maybe her job of walking around camp wearing only a towel?" This also made me burst out laughing -- from her first episode I've been thinking of her as Naked Karla for this very reason.
I thought the scene with Luba, Gaspar and the radios was really adorable. But that might be because I'm officially in love with Intocable and his beautiful smile. Intocable, casar conmigo. Er but I digress.
Sylvia, I'm glad you're doing Juan recaps because I'll be watching that show and I'll get a kick out of seeing what you have to say about it!

I'll be doing the Duelo Grand Finale because Margaret is on vacation and we did a trade. So I have one more episode, next Monday. We hinted around like crazy for Chris to do it but he didn't take the bait (damn that boy is too smart).
Susanlynn, no new pirates info except: 1) they will probably extend Destilando because it's so popular which will postpone Pirates; also 2) Susana's papa died in a car accident recently so she missed some film time which might possibly delay Pirates. (Her honey, Eduardo Santamarina who plays Juan Querendon, took some time away from work to be with her.) In the meantime Fernando Colunga's movie "Ladron que Roba a Ladron" has a release date of 8/31. I wonder if it will play in my neighborhood?

Thanks, Sylvia, for the update. Even though we have a growing Latino population in our area, the chances that any local theater will show Fernandito's new film are slim to none. Que lastima! If you get a chance to see it, please, let us know what you thought. So, you will be doing the recap for the finale of ''Duelo.'' Bueno. Let's put this show to rest. Everybody into the whirlpool, and please, the last person out of the room , put away THE COFRE and turn off the lights. ~~~Susanlynn, rushing away as she hears real life calling..calling...calling

Believe me, I would happily do the final Duelo recap if it were possible. I just can't make it happen during the week. This team has no weak links, though, it doesn't matter which one of us recaps it, it will be great. I am anxiously looking forward to finally watching the last episode of this show, and then reading the recap.
This brings up a point - I'm going to be out of town for the first two Fridays of the new show. I'll send an e-mail out if I can't get a volunteer here. (Jeanne? I don't remember if you got caught up in another show or not. Want to fill in again?)

Ferro, do you mean the first two Fridays of Amar Sin Limites? I'm still on vacation the first one, and I hadn't planned to watch the show, either (sorry). I hate to disappoint, but.....

No problem Jeanne, it was worth a try. I'm sure someone will step up, or we'll end up with a tag team recap.
