Acorralada #182 Friday 9-28-07 The Jig is Up!

We start with the Sylvie's and Mariposa's arrival interrupting the wedding between Puncho and Pru. Pru is so excited to see her primo prima! Puncho is purposely keeping his back to the melee. The priest finally breaks up the happy reunion and wants to get the wedding under way. Puncho is quaking in his boots.

A confrontation at the police station occurs between Dimwit and Marfil. I'm not sure how this discussion started, but it has to do with Dimwit and Maxi-Moron. Marfil says, "Oh yeah? Well I'm married to a millionaire now!" Dimwit tells Marfil, "Although you may be married to a millionaire, you don't love him and obviously aren't happy. At least Maxi-Moron loves me more than you!" Dimwit righteously struts out and the Lt. Gomez comes out to get Marfil.

Maxi-Moron is telling Emili-Oh he feels bad about how he treated Marshmallow. When he called the bodega, they told him Marshmallow and Godmum had left Miami and didn't want Max knowing where they went. MM admits to using Marshmallow. Emili-Oh tells him to move on; soon both MM and Marshmallow will be free. He also encourages MM recoup Dimwit. She is his "north."

Lt Gomez and Marfil spar verbally. She wants to know if he is accusing her of Princess Fi's disappearance. He replies that's not what he wants to talk to her about, although that case is still open and sooner or later he'll solve Princess Fi's disappearance. He wants to talk about the kidnapping of Dimwit's baby. Marfil sneers that it was her twin sister who did that. Lt. Gomez asks if she has proof. Marfil replies do you have proof I did it? Lt. Gomez says she's very astute. Marfil says she's wasted enough time, and basically if he's not going to charge her, she's leaving. As she's walking out she points out that it doesn't look good that he hasn't solved Princess Fi's disappearance.

Dimwit has come to visit Iggy, who is handcuffed to the hospital bed. Just when he thought his luck couldn't get any better. "To what do I owe this visit, Dimwit?" Dimwit replies, "I've come to enjoy your downfall, Iggy!"

Pru wants to introduce her primo prima and Sylvie to her future husband. Puncho tells the priest he wants to get on with the wedding, introductions can be done later. The priest points this out to Pru who says, "You're right." Puncho thinks his luck may just hold out after all. The vows start and Pru is all excited, she doesn't want to wait through the whole vow part. She keeps saying, "I do! I do! I do!" The priest then says, "Francisco Suarez, do you take. . ." Suddenly Sylvie asks Mariposa, "Did the priest just say Francisco Suarez?" Uh oh!

MM calls Pedro, but Marfil has answered the phone. "Don't you want to speak with me?" asks Marfil. "No. Let me speak to Pedro," replies MM. Marfil is miffed. MM asks Pedro if everything is OK. He is worried. Pedro says all is well. After Pedro and MM hang up, Marfil wants to know if MM mentioned her. Pedro says no and beats a hasty retreat from the room.

Iggy asks Dimwit if she's taking pleasure in his demise. Dimwit admits she is, but tells him she actually pities him more. He was such a good doctor; the best in the hospital, but he was more intent on causing her pain than focusing on medicine. That determination caused him to align with such low-lives as Marfil.

Lorenzo has come to visit Fidiota. He's worried about how she's doing, now that she's in a wheelchair. Fidiota says all is well in her world. She got her factory back, her home, she found her daughters (note the order in which she lists what she's thankful for), and has a great hubby. She's also going to be a mother again after so many years. Lorenzo asks if she's trying to console him. "Not at all. I'm just pointing out I'm surrounded by good friends such as you. I'll just have to enjoy life from a wheelchair."

More of Dimwit pointing out Iggy's life could have been so much better if he had just stuck to what he was really good at…medicine. Now he's going to spend the rest of his life in jail. Iggy looks constipated. Dimwit leaves and we see a cute cop standing outside the hospital room. The camera pans back to Iggy, who starts crying.

Now Fidiota is telling Lorenzo Octopus is nothing but a bad memory now. She's got so much to look forward to in the future, including a new baby. Lorenzo brings up Paco, who is getting ready to move to Puerto Rico. Fidiota wishes him much happiness. Lorenzo tells her the only way Paco will be happy is if he can forget her. Fidiota gets a wistful look on her face and tells Lorenzo, "So be it. I hope he can forget." Forlorn music plays.

Sylvie interrupts the vows to beg the priest to get to the part where the priest asks if anyone objects. The priest relents and gets to that part. Sylvie pulls an Arnold Horshack from Welcome Back Kotter, "Ooooooh, Ooooooh, Pick me! Pick me!" When the priest acknowledges her, Sylvie runs up and spins Puncho around. "It IS you!" She then goes ballistic and assures Pru that Pru is better off without Puncho. She then outlines all the horrible things Puncho has done, and that he is wanted by the police in Miami. Puncho runs out and jumps on a bicycle to escape. Mariposa, Sylvie, and the Priest are in hot pursuit. I believe Mariposa breaks a heel or loses a shoe in the process. Poor Pru collapses onto the pew.

Now Fidiota is pulling the "poor me" role with Granny DS. She hopes her baby isn't embarrassed to have a mother in a wheelchair. She always liked to go the beach, get her feet wet, etc. Now that will never happen. . ."Pobre de mi!" Granny DS tells her to pray to one of the saints; perhaps the saint will grant Fidiota a miracle! Fidiota pauses for a moment and gets this big smile on her face. "You know, you're right! I'm going to go to church and pray! I need to have faith!" Sappy music plays.

Marfil calls for Pedro. She tells him she wants him to take her on a honeymoon. Perhaps to the coasts of Italy or Greece. Pedro thought bubbles she just wants to take him far away so he can have an "accident." He tells her no way. He has lots of business to attend to. Marfil tries to convince him MM can run the business, but Pedro says he has to attend to it personally. Marfil says she's bored being married to an old man who won't dance, travel, do things. She tells him she's just going to have to find a virile young man to entertain her. Pedro points out if she does that, he'll throw her out into the street. "After all, you knew I was old when you married me!" Score: Pedro 1 Marfil 0.

MM is telling Emili-Oh he is worried about Pedro. Emili-Oh asks if Marfil is capable of killing Pedro for his money. MM says, "Of course! And much more!" MM goes on to say he's tried to get Pedro to leave Marfil, but Pedro refuses. Pedro loves Marfil.

Marfil and Camila are plotting on a way to keep Dimwit and MM apart. Further, Marshmallow has asked for a divorce. Now, nothing will keep MM and Dimwit apart! Marfil says she'd rather be dead than see MM and Dimwit happy together. Camila agrees.

Dimwit is recounting her day with Caramel and Gaby. She tells them about her exchange with Marfil. Of course the conversation rolls around to MM. She doesn't know if she can be with MM; so many bad things have happened to them. The wounds are so great. Caramel says Dimwit had better cauterize the wounds. Gaby agrees. "You don't want to lose MM like I lost Lunkhead." Head tilt. Glassy-eyed stare.

Emili-Oh comes home and is surprised to see Marfil visiting Camila. "I thought you two were rivals." Camila assures him that's in the past. Camila starts pumping him for information about Dimwit. Emili-Oh gets mad and says he's not going to get involved in any plans to hurt Dimwit. He reminds Camila this is his apartment and he can throw her out any time he wants. Looks like meek little Emili-Oh is laying down the law!

The priest is trying to comfort Pru. Mariposa and Sylvie return and start filling her in on all the evil things Puncho has done. Pobre de Pru. She thought Puncho really loved her!

More "girl-talk" among Caramel, Gaby, and Dimwit. Of course it's all about their men. I think Caramel feels bad that she's the only one who's happy. Gaby says she's the only one who has truly lost her man; ChewKey turned Lunkhead against her. Dimwit says when Lunkhead returns, he'll see that everything ChewKey said was a lie. ***I have to throw in a comment here. Lunkhead is supposedly going to marry ChewKey when he returns, but he's never called her and found out about her being committed? No one has called him about Octopus? Puh-leaze!***

Doc V and Dulce are having a heart-to-heart talk. He's sad that Marshmallow left without saying goodbye. Dulce starts with the predictable telenovela speak, "You are young, good looking. . ." Doc V starts getting all teary-eyed. He loves Marshmallow so much!

Roddy wheels Fidiota into the Iglesia de Milagros, Santa Barbara. Fidiota wants to be left alone to pray. Fidiota prays for all the things that pertain to her and her kids. Roddy is praying to Jesus for all the things that pertain to him (ChewKey and Fidiota). Finally Fidiota prays to walk again. She tries to strike a deal with the Virgencita. If she can walk again, she promises she will never hate another person as long as she lives. Huh? Perhaps it might be a good thing to never be so consumed with hatred even if you CAN'T walk again. Doc V's mom has come to Perfumes 'R Us looking for Dimwit. Dimwit says what a shame, she needs to go to the hospital to work now. DVM says, "We can go together. I can surprise m'ijo Doc V!"

Puncho calls Diablo and tells him how Sylvie ruined his wedding plans. Puncho tries to coax Diablo to come to Santo Domingo. Together they can do great things! Diablo wants no part of that. He is determined to see that Dimwit and MM are never together, even if it means their death.

MM is lamenting his mother's untimely demise. She did horrible things, but didn't deserve and ending like that! If only she could have died a peaceful death at a hospital surrounded by family. Camila shows up to "comfort" MM. She doesn't want him to be sad and alone. She then starts kissing him. Yuck!

Marfil has shown up at the place of a bruja. Apparently the bruja has some super-duper deadly poison, in which one drop can kill an entire army and at the same time has no antidote. Where do these people come up with all these "mystery poisons?" At any rate, Marfil forks over a thick stack of money. Pedro's days are numbered. Marfil wants him dead before he changes his will. I haven't seen the last few episodes, but I believe I read he has already changed it.

Camila has come to console MM, now that his mother is in heaven, ***HA! I don't think so!*** Yolanda is in jail, and Lunkhead is far away in Hollywood making a movie. MM finally rebuffs her. He outlines his reasons. 1) He just signed the papers of his second divorce, 2) Dimwit is the only woman he will ever really love, and 3) Camila was involved in the fire that killed all those innocent people. He doesn't like the company she keeps. Camila keeps swearing her undying love for MM, his white shoes and too-tight pastel sweaters. MM tells her to leave before he decides to change his mind and turn her over to the police.

Doc V's mom keeps trying to set up Doc V with Dimwit. She wants to see them together, happy, and providing her with a battalion of grandkids. Doc V isn't biting. He thinks it's adorable that his mom likes to play cupid.

Roddy and Fidiota discuss their warm fuzzy feelings after being at church and praying.

Emili-Oh shows up at the hospital to warn Dimwit that Camila and Marfil want to tell MM about her second pregnancy. He tries to convince Dimwit to go back to MM. MM says no way. Diablo will kill them all. Finally Emili-Oh hands her his cell phone. Call MM now and make up!

Credits roll.
