Amar #40 9/11/07 Diego's screwed

Tuesday's episode begins with Diego and Azul concluding that they'll have to keep their jobs for a while, and continue their relationships with Mo and Eva.

Next we're transported to Mo's office, where he tells Leo that the docs told him they must find an antidote soon or vital organs will be effected. They need to work fast because Erika Golner has already died. (I don't remember Erika being mentioned before).

Azul and Diego go back to her place and snuggle up on the sofa. I wish I could insert an audio clip of Bob Seger's "We've got tonight" cuz that's the current theme with these two. Azul offers to fix them something to eat, but warns him that she's not much of a cook... they go to raid the fridge and see that it's empty. Diego teases her that it's the fridge of a single guy. No problemo, there's always Domino's. Azul gets on the horn to order a pizza. While she's doing that, Diego's phone answers - you know it's dragon lady calling to give him an ETA. She hears Azul in the background and thinks that it's Diego's mom, and tells Diego to pass her the phone. Diego manages to get out of that - he's a sly one, isn't he? He tries to tell Azul that it was Flavio, but she's not buying that for a dollar. He's vague, but tells her he has to go - it's about his job. Then he's off to pick up Eva.

Meanwhile, Isela goes to visit Clemencia. She wants to apologize and explain for her affair with Manuel - she was lonely and she's love him since they were teens. It hurt her v. much when he married Clemencia. Clemencia handles this pretty well - she screams a little, but soon she asks the classic question "what did you give him that I don't?" Isela's too classy to answer - she tells Clem to ask Manuel about that. (And maybe pick up a copy of kama sutra). Overall, it's a pretty calm meeting. No hair pulling or name calling.

Azul is chewing her nails and staring at the pizza box on the counter - is she trying to figure out the number of weight watchers points each slice is worth? Ceci comes home and is happy to see that there's pizza - but where's Diego? Ahh... that explains the nail biting!

Diego's in the hangar waiting for Eva's plane to park. She comes running out and lays one on him, then quickly hops into the 'stang.

Inez goes to see Arnaldo at his lover's store and tells him about how she's been stalking his father - she followed him to a restaurant and caused a scene, then went to his house to plead with him to take her back, and trashed the place after he left her there alone. Arnaldo tells her to get some help - she needs some psychological help. This doesn't sit well with Inez. She says she'll do whatever it takes to win him back. GSD better sleep with one eye open!

Back at Eva's hotel, she sees that he's in a bad mood, but he's not telling her why. She reminds him that her bodyguards are always watching, then summons Ivan into the room and shows him how she talks to Ivan - where the wires are hidden and such. Ivan is seriously ticked off by this security breach, but she blows him off. She knows she can trust Diego. Then she presents Diego with a lovely new watch and does the same move that Richard Gere does in Pretty Woman when he shows the necklace, then snaps it shuts as she reaches for it. Diego doesn't like this tomfoolery, but she takes his hand and removes the old watch and slides the new one on his wrist.

GSD returns to his apt and sees what Inez has done, then hears Leo's message, so he calls her back. Leo passes the phone to Mo, who tells him to get to work, and make it snappy. GSD says he'll need to take the bus, but Mo tells him to take a taxi. He needs to be there ASAP.

Ceci and Azul are having girl talk - Azul loves Diego, Ceci loves Andres...

Manuel comes home and Clemencia reads him the riot act for not acting like the man of the house. Diego had to lend her money so that she could buy food. Manuel tells her that he'll go to find a job, and she lets him know that if he's meeting up with some woman, she'll kick him to the curb.

GSD arrives at Mo's place. Mo tells him to get to work, but GSD needs more information - how is it transmitted? Is it ingested, absorbed, is it sexually transmitted? Mo will give him all of that information, but he needs some time. GSD says that without that info, he won't be accurate.

Manuel's first stop on his quest to find a job is to stop at Isela's bar, but she tells him to beat it, and tells him that she went to apologize to Clemencia. He's not happy to hear this because he was still denying everything. Isela tells him that Clem's not stupid, and he needs to hit the road and not come back or she'll call Clemencia.

Silvana goes to visit Caty, but Mo says that she's doing homework, but he'd like to talk to Silvana in his office...

Azul calls Diego just as he's putting on his new watch. He can't bring himself to answer the phone. Ceci wants Azul to go with her to get a newspaper so she can look for jobs, but Azul doesn't feel like going - she's waiting for Diego's call.

Mo wants to talk to Silvana about the accident - he knows that she was the last person to talk to Lil, so what did she say? Silvana says Lil was very upset because she and Mo had been fighting and she was afraid of him. He pushes her to say what she was afraid of, then suddenly Silvana is screaming "you killed my son!" and we see a flashback of Lil driving in circles in a gravel parking lot, then coming to a screenching halt and slamming into the windshield. Mo runs up to the car and gets Caty out and hands her to Leo and Andres, then Leo notices that Nico is alive and tells Mo. Leo hears screaming and comes into the office asking what's going on - Mo tells her to fix Silvana some tea. A little Earl Grey will fix anything! Just then Mo's phone rings - it's Eva and she's back in town. She'll be at his place in the morning.

Azul's phone finally rings and she answers it with "Mi amor" and hears Mo say "yes, it's me. I'm back" Too bad - party's over! He wants to see her, but she claims to be helping Ceci look for a job. He says that's okay, he'll see her in the morning. Eva's back and wants everyone there in the morning. That's when Azul realizes that Diego's disappearance coincides with Eva's return. This doesn't bode well for their budding relationship...

Diego's waiting for Eva on her terrace, when he makes a poorly received joke about Ivan's surveillance equipment. Ivan tells him to never tell anyone what he's seen - Diego takes it as a threat - Ivan tells him it is a threat. Eva interrupts and wants to know what's going on. Diego takes off the watch and puts it on a table, she tells him to take it back, but he walks out. Eva tells Diego to bring him back, so he goes to Diego's room, but Diego says he's no. They scuffle, Ivan puts him into an armlock an drags him to Eva's room, where Burgay is waiting to ask him what his problemo is.

UH OH. Ivan's in Diego's room and he's listening to his voicemail from Azul - where she tells him that she loves him. He tapes the message.

Diego's brooding when Burgay brings Eva out and tells Diego to say he's sorry. Diego does, and she tells him to take the watch. What's the deal with this watch? Diego tells them he doesn't want to work for them, but Burgay reminds him of the 5 year contract he signed - if he breaks it, he'll have to pay back 600 mil pesos! Eva tells him to leave and wait for further instructions. Ivan grabs him and tells him to tell nobody what he's seen tonight.

Great recap Amy! So, the plot thickens. I like the way the story lines are unfolding on this show, it leaves me wondering what is going to happen next.

Wow, I missed the whole scene where Mo tells Leo about having the disease. I thought they were going to make it like ebola. And we get to see the whole flashbacked death scene. I couldn't tell whether Caty was unconcious or not but if she wasn't for sure she's going to say what happened. Too bad Silvana had to blow her top. No more accident reconstruction scenes with Barbie and nico.
 

Thanks for the recap Amy. This show does keep one guessing where it will go next. My concern is that Andres may eventually kill Ceci (just a guess I hope is wrong).
 

Uh-oh, Diego should have been a little more discriminating about jumping into bed with the ladies. He evidently has not heard the expression : ''Just say no.''...Or the phrase Hub's friend's mother used to yell to them as they left on double dates, ''Boys...Keep it in your pants.'' Now, he is in deep trouble I fear. Have you noticed that Ceci and Azul are always eating but are very trim. Eating disorders ??? And who is Erika?? And how can Science Guy find a cure if he doesn't know what the disease is ??? And where was Andres?...off somewhere licking his Leonarda-inflicted wounds?? Gross. Auxilio.
 

Yeah, Diego is definitely in way over his head. I can't help but think, "Sorry, Jethro, being a double-naught spy is harder than it looks."
 

This TN just gets better and better. So many flaws, so many sociopaths, so many threats. I just hope Leonarda isn't the one to get Ceci. Andres might be easy with her but Tia Leo looks full of vengeance.

Didn't Diego look like the cat that ate the canary in that moment when he lied to Azul, not telling her that Evileva was on the phone and arriving pronto... He gets himself in so much trouble with little pointless lies, the big ones are going to eat him alive.

Yes, susanlynn, I have noticed the girlies eating endlessly and always carby/cheesy choices. It makes them look like dorm roommates which is what they act like. Interesting that only Mo seems to be an adult in those scenes with the girlies and their apartment. Certainly not Diego or Science Guy. Maybe Arnaldo is acting more together than his straighter relatives. He seems sensitive and sensible while Tia, Papa, y hermana histerica float around him.
 

Oh, and I forgot to ask who thinks the car wreck scene was Mo's memory and who thinks it was Sylvana's fear halucination. I am confused. Let's discuss...
 

I don't feel sorry for Diego one bit. El Stupido.
Cheryl..I am confused about the memory scene but I have a feeling it was Mo's memory because Leo had mentioned before that he killed his wife and Silvana's son.
Boy Mo sure did jerk his daughter out of the SUV in a violent manner..did that look real or was it a dummy because the little girl actress could have been hurt..something was odd.
 

CherylNewMex: It seems like Silvana's hallucination to me, especially since it suggests that someone had to have pushed the car over the cliff, or something. As I recall, previous flashbacks involved an oncoming car.
 

OK, I'm going to weigh in on the memory debate. I haven't seen other "flashbacks," so I'm only working off this one. I figured it was Mo's flashback because how would Morticia know that Leoparda and Aahndres were at the scene? Morticia wasn't there was she? I thought she was on the phone with Mo's wife when the accident occurred. Since Mo's wife was presumably out cold, she couldn't have told Morticia that Leo and Aahndres were assisting Mo at the scene.

Hmmmm
 

I think that is what happened. It is entirely possible that (1) Mo caused the accident, with the oncoming car. (2) Liliana passed out (3) Mo grabbed Caty and pushed the car over the cliff. With liliana and nico both, perhaps alive, until the hit bottom.
 

I am now completely confused. How could Mo have caused the accident and yet remained unscathed himself? Can someone draw a diagram on a blackboard the way they do on the People's Court?
 

LOL....NinaK!

Okay, if Car A is going east at 30 miles per hour and Car B is going west at 50 miles per hour....

I believe we get more information on the "accident" with each flashback on the incident. I remember one of the first ones showed Mo and a blonde woman arguing and she runs away, while he stands near the pool shouting angrily after her. Next we see a scene of her driving and the two children in the back seat. Now we have a car coming toward them and the woman's car going off the road and, I assume, hitting a guard rail, causing her to smack her head on the windshield/steering wheel.

Mo was not necessarily in the oncoming car, although it's very possible that Mo, Andres and Leo were all together in the other car (perhaps they took a short-cut) and they tried to block Mo's wife from running away, forcing her off the road.

If that is the case, Mo would not necessarily have any physical damage or evidence on him.

I'd be willing to bet that the next flashback we get shows Mo pushing/causing the car to go over the side, knowing that Nico is still in the back seat. And perhaps the fall doesn't kill his wife outright, she has time to call Morticia one last time...
 

Oldman, thanks! I missed most of those flashbacks, so I couldn't do the "accident reconstruction."
