Acorralada #170 Thursday 9/13/07 In which we discover that there is another hospital in Telemiami!
Note we are at #170. Only 20 more to go!
The episode starts with a look at Pancholon's new post as a pool boy for two spinsters (solteronas) in the DR. We hear the the rinky-dink silent movie soundtrack music that signals that a comic relief scene is in progress. Hilarity ensues.
Another shot of Max's behind in the too-tight red swim trunks. Why is it when Max takes his morning swim, he always seems to be thrashing about too much with his upper body too far out of the water? No Michael Phelps, he.
He goes over to the side table and suddenly moans "Diana" for no particular reason and looks at a photo of said Dimwit. Marcela suddenly appears and catches him. He tries to get out of trouble by saying he thought she was in the hospital.
Diana and Dr. V are taking care of Dr. V's mom, who appears to have broken her arm changing a light bulb. Diana alludes to her being like Granny DS, so maybe she has Alzheimer's. Dr. V says she's a handful. Mom wants him to forget that ingrate Marcela and marry Diana.
Her name, aptly enough, is Dona Azucena (for those who are just tuning in, that was Max's nickname for Diana when he was in the manicomio with amnesia).
Sharon complains to Kike about Gaby and all the others, particularly Granny DS. (They are at the fabrica, where Sharon seems to have been given her old job back. I wonder how Kike passed security.) She wants Kike to cut the brake hoses (mangueras de freno) on Fedora's car. He says sure, he'll do it, but he counsels waiting a while. In the meantime, she should first get her Papito to buy her a car. Great idea, she says, but she really wants Fedora out of the way.
We now see Fedora at her desk finishing a phone call. Good news, she tells Gaby, she's preggers. Did Diana know? No! She got the test done at ANOTHER HOSPITAL! Emilio and Caramelo come in, and they get to congratulate her too. But don't tell Rodrigo yet--save it for a birthday surprise. His birthday is a couple of days hence. What a brilliant idea! But let's tell our new best friend Sharon. Gaby and Fedora will tell her together. They also call Diana and tell her. Diana is very happy. We see her sitting glassy-eyed at her desk thought bubbling "a new life."
Marcela and Max are still at the pool. They have a very boring conversation about how she wants a divorce because he and Dimwit love each other and he will never love her, etc. She does not tell him about her pregnancy. The only person who is unnecessary (sale sobrando) in the triangle is herself, Marcela.
Pancho is now cleaning up at the spinsters' house. He is dressed in a black vest and pants and white shirt, like a waiter--or perhaps like our late lamented Bruno.
The spinsters sit by knitting and crocheting. They won't let him have any water until he finishes his chores. He has to go do a lot of shopping and I think wash something by hand. When he leaves the room, sister on the left (Hortensia), says he is guapissimoooooo. The other sister is disgusted.
Max and Marcela keep gabbing.
Marfil visits Camila and tells her all about her new marriage. Thank god the old guy can't make love. Nonetheless, she is in a golden cage.
Now Fedora and Gaby tell Sharon about the new "hermanito." The frozen smile on Chucky's face is priceless. No joy there.
Max is still fighting with Marcela, but now he has at least put on a bathrobe.
Sharon promises to keep the secret. Gaby seems to smell a rat.
Caramelo tells Paco about the pregnancy. He is sad. There is a rehash of his bad luck with the various ladies.
Dr. V and Diana rehash.
Gaby overhears Sharon telling Kike that the baby won't be born. What could you mean, she asks. Oh, well, Fedora is old--there may be problems. No, her mom is not old, says Gaby. She's a young woman! Besides, there are some woman of 60 having children now. (we won't remind her that they are using borrowed eggs, etc.)
Sharon also taunts her by saying that Larry called about his new film role, etc.
Back home, Lala and Granny M congratulate Fedora. Granny M wants to know what that demon Sharon said.
Roddy gets a visit from Sharon and promises to buy her a car as a reward for good conduct. I want to know why he hasn't got her in those therapy appointments. Sharon entertains us with a medley of her best shrieks.
Yolanda and Max rehash the Marcela situation.
Gaby flashes back on her happy time with Larry on the island getaway. They have their own "Blue Lagoon," and she is Brooke Shields. He says, no, she's prettier. Awww.
Diana talks to godmom. Godmom is still wearing bandages. Cut to the hall--Marcela grabs her stomach. She is seized with cramps or something. Dr. V catches her. She now has a high-risk pregnancy. She must take care!
Godmom says Diana should not be a block to Marcela's happiness. If God gives her the miracle of restoring her sight, she's going to be vigilant.
Marfil butters up Pedro. When he leaves, she calls him stupid. Marfil then receives a call from Diego. They do the usual mutual taunting about who is really guilty of Fiona's murder. Anyone remember Fiona?
Pancho is cleaning the pool. It's so hot, he jumps in for a dip (chapuzon) in the pool. His mambo theme plays! Sister Nicoleza wants to fire him for insubordination, but Hortensia prevails--he just started. Besides, he's guapisimo. Nicoleza covers her eyes while she lectures him. The sisters fight--it seems like Hortensia has always been the naughtier sister and Nicoleza the good, modest one. They agree he can even use the pool sometimes. The sisters leave, and Pancho savors his good fortune. These sisters are crazy for him, and they're millionaires to boot. They will leave him all their money! Hortensia goes into his room to rifle through his belongings. She finds pictures of Caramelo and Paola and notes that each says "loving wife." He's a bigamist, she cries, outraged. Something tells me that Pancho may be punching out.
Marcela and Godmom discuss whether Max should know the truth. Too boring to pay attention. She doesn't tell Godmom about the high-risk pregnancy.
Fedora and Roddy simper about how good Sharon is lately.
Diana and nurse Dulce discuss the high-risk pregnancy. This hospital violates HIPAA all over the place--no wonder Fedora went for her test elsewhere.
Marfil takes a gun over to the warehouse of the giant fan and tries to shoot Diego. He taunts her with how she really wants his Diablo love. They wind up kissing madly.
Gaby is sitting at her desk cataloging perfume bottles when the phone rings, and she answers it "perfume factory Fedora." Or some such. It's Larry asking for Sharon. She says, Larry, is that you? He says Gaby is that you? Credits roll!
