Caray, Caray!

We see the end of Thursday’s show, with Leo, Mo, and Andres (now with two eyes and looking more normal) hatching their scheme to blame Diego for stealing the toxin and turning Boris against Eva.

Eva tells Ivan that they will tell Boris that they have GSD working on the cure, Ivan says Boris wants results in a matter of days. Eva says to tell GSD to get on it. Ivan says if it was that easy it would be over by now. This conversation sounds to me like when you’re at work and your boss asks you to do something impossible, like refile everything in the building before 5:00, and justifies it by saying “just do it.” Like you (or Ivan) can just perform magic. They discuss the apparent reconciliation between Mo and Azul, I’m not sure what they decided about that, and then think that GSD went back to work for Mo for money. They think GSD doesn’t know that Azul is infected, they are going to use that info to prod him into action. Of course GSD does know and it hasn’t gotten him to work harder at all, he spends all his time hanging around the hospital, at restaurants, and wherever he can smoke. If I mangled any of this, please let me know.

Leo leaves the hotel room. Mo yells at Andres for not being available before, Leo was looking for him everywhere. Andres uses his “I can get information from her” excuse for being with Ceci. Mo doubts that. Andres tries to convince him that being with Ceci will get him inside info on what Azul is thinking and doing at all times. Mo is convinced and smiles his evil smile.

GSD tells Azul that he’s worried that she spends so much time with Katy. I guess for the pain that it will cause later. GSD is upset that he hasn’t been able to find the cure yet. Perhaps it’s because the cure doesn’t come at the bottom of a coffee cup or at the end of a cigarette. He keeps telling her that the more time she spends with Katy the more the girl will be hurt when, uh, when Mo dies and they can’t spend time together any more. Of course he means when AZUL dies and breaks the girl’s heart, losing her father and Azul together. Then her little high pitched squeal of a voice will insufferable for all her whining. I guess it’s not Katy’s fault her voice is like nails on a chalkboard, I shouldn’t blame her for it. Azul says that if Mo dies, she wants to adopt Katy. GSD is impactado.

Mo is up out of bed, Leo tells him he can’t do that. Mo goes on about not wanting to be weak, etc. Muy macho. Whatever. He tells Leo that he sent Andres on a job, to stay with Ceci to get info. Leo of course doesn’t like this at all. Mo doesn’t care. Mo asks how she can be so jealous of some dumb young girl like Ceci?

Ceci is helping a customer when Julio comes in with arms full of fabric and yells for help, chaos ensues. Finally Ceci comes to help him. He asks where Gaspar is, Ceci says he took Arnaldo out and said they’d be gone the whole afternoon. Julio gets snippy and says this is what happens when he lets his employees do whatever they want. Ceci asks if Julio and Arnaldo are fighting, or what? Julio just looks at her. She takes that as a yes. He tells her to get back to work, but she isn’t cowed and says they’ll talk later, ok? She has a big smile, like they are going to be gossip buddies.

Arnaldo thanks Gaspar for spending time with him. Gaspar tells Arnaldo that a candlelight dinner will solve everything, Arnaldo says it’s all more complicated than that. Gaspar says he’s crazy, dinner is everything. They can talk everything out, everything is about communication. Arnaldo is jealous that Julio has a benefactor. He doesn’t know what kind of agreements Julio has to make to receive the money from this other guy, so he’s going to return the jacket Julio made him. This stupid jacket, just like last week. They act like this jacket was an engagement ring or something. Gaspar says ok whatever you say. Gaspar runs his hand over a table and the dust is about a centimeter thick, he says it’s like nobody lives in this house! I guess they are in Julio’s place, where Arnaldo does/doesn’t live, at least when he’s not living with his sister.

Ah, Asi es la Vida, I’ve missed you. Some witch lady is on the commercial, but holy cow the body on her in her tight red dress. Sorry I know most of you don’t care, but after all you have Andres and we men don’t have all that much these days. Pretty ladies, sure, but nobody oozing sex appeal. I guess I’ll just have to be satisfied with a commercial, better than nothing.

GSD and Azul are back in a restaurant, or are they STILL there? How’s that search for the cure coming, GSD? Maybe you and OJ can team up, he can look for the real killer while you look for the cure. You can check every golf course and café in all of North America. GSD tells Azul that she can’t adopt Katy, there are laws, she isn’t a parent, etc. Azul says Katy would be better with her than anyone else. GSD says sure, but you aren’t her parent, you can’t just put a claim in on her. Finally he says never mind, we’ll try and save Mo and it won’t matter. Then he tells her that she’ll have her own kids someday. She has an orange flashback of Diego saying they would be together forever. Back in the present she tells GSD she had that dream, but now it doesn’t seem possible. He continues to smoke. He tells her something about even when all seems lost in love, you can find it again. She turns this into not loving her mother and falling for Ines. GSD rubs his temples for the headache she is bringing on in him, but she apologizes and starts whining about how she thought Diego was the one, cry cry cry. She says he was, is, and will always be the man for her. Why does she feel so strongly, is she mesmerized by his pouting, or what? GSD tells her to take a deep breath, they recover their emotions, Azul goes for Katy and GSD decides he might get back to work sometime soon.

Morticia asks Isela to get off work early, she’s going dancing with Flava Flav. Isela says you, going out dancing? Don’t wait, go now! She rushes her out. She is as amazed as all of us watching the show that Morticia is showing signs of life. Isela tells Morticia to dress slutty (basically) to have some fun, don’t dress so serious or anything. She sends her on her way.

Azul is all in a panic, Katy is missing. She says how can you leave a kid all alone, the city is dangerous for a child alone! Yeah, duh, that’s why the rest of us keep an eye on our kids. Two minutes ago she wanted to be Katy’s mother, now she went and lost her. I thought that before someone was watching Katy, did Azul really just send her away from their table at the restaurant all alone? Cripes. I was already preparing myself to write a rant on how hospitals drag these shows through the mud (ever since the hospital scenes started, this show has ground to a halt) and now we’ll have a kidnapping thrown in too. I hope it isn’t as ridiculous as other show’s kidnappings. What are we missing from the novela template? We have the breakup 500 times main couple, we have the lead male and female characters acting like complete fools, we have endless hospital scenes, we might have a kidnapping, we have stories magically change to suit the situation (Piero is suddenly not really married, think he would have brought that up before? Me too), I think we’re just missing some amnesia.

Diego updates Eva on the house hunting, he says he has found a few that are suitable. He agrees to meet Eva at the hospital. He hears some crying, and he finds Katy hiding in the alleyway. How lucky for her it was Diego. She cries that she wants to see Azul. Diego picks her up and they see Azul across the street. Azul is going to come to them, but she gets all dizzy and starts to fall down, just as some crazy driver is speeding down the street towards her. Diego rushes out and saves her, pulling her out of the way at the last second. She calls him ‘mi amor’ and asks what is happening to her. I have an answer to that – you are dying while your father sits and smokes instead of trying to save you. Diego and Azul hold each other and breath heavily, like Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock when they finally get off the bus. They act like they are about to make out but they resist. Katy runs over and joins the hug, they ignore her and just breath heavily on each other. Finally Azul comforts Katy. Diego says Azul should go to the hospital, she starts remembering that she has to be mad at him and says that he said she was out of his life, so don’t try and be nice now. He says she isn’t well and he wants to help, she keeps telling him to take a hike. Finally Diego says “at least thank me, I risked my life to save you.” Bad move Diego, you had some cred but you just lost it with that comment. Azul thinks so too, she tells him “you love being the hero, don’t you.” She continues to be bitchy and he continues to look confused, she walks away with Katy, who can’t stop crying. GSD shows up and Diego fills him in on what happened. Azul says she was fainting from worry for Katy, nothing else, when Katy asks her what’s wrong. Azul asks why she left the play area at the restaurant (ok so I guess she didn’t just sit her at another table or something), Katy says she went out after a friend who chased a ball into the street. Azul tells her to never do that again, never be apart from her (Azul). I was expecting that to lead into something about marrying Mo, but no. GSD says at least all is well now, let’s go. Azul, and Katy get into the car. Azul and Diego give longing looks at each other, GSD looks hard at Diego like he feels bad for him, then tells him thank you.

Gaspar is looking at photos of Ines, he tells Arnaldo that she’s pretty, they discuss Arnaldo’s family a bit. He says Ines was always happy but his mother was always cranky at his father. He tells how Ines always bought him and Azul toys, she wasn’t rich but spent everything on them just to see them happy. Well, it turns out Ines was a saint, I guess. That must have been before she started screwing her sister’s husband.

Morticia comes home, looking mopey. I thought she was going out dancing dressed like a slut? The phone rings, she doesn’t answer, then her cell phone rings. Turns out to be her mother. “How are you? You’re going to live there? But you never liked the north. Ok. (something about always having pretended to be rich) Are you sure that’s what you want? Ok” then something about how mom always wanted to perform in the theater and ‘he’ can produce that. I guess she ran off with whoever it was she was going to meet from her hotline. Think the actress got a job on another show and bailed? Morticia says she hopes Gloria is happy and finds what she wants. Ok, bye. She shouldn’t be upset, she just got an apartment out of it.

Eva asks if Ivan’s guys are ready for the operation. He says yes. They talk about this for a while, I can’t really determine the details and I’m not sure it’s necessary. Finally she says to give the order to his men, but keep the whole thing under wraps. I guess this involves putting pressure on GSD to find the cure already. Or something.

Morticia stares at the picture of her son and cries. WTF? Again, I thought she was going to hoochie up and go out dancing. She tells the picture that she always loved him, not like her mom, who keeps disappearing. She doesn’t understand why people keep abandoning her. A knock at the door, it’s Flava. She says she can’t go out, she wants to be alone. Well, gloomy, there’s your answer. People keep abandoning you because you are a mopey pain in the ass who either pushes people away or gets psycho possessive on them. Anyway, Flava says if she doesn’t want to go dancing, fine, but he won’t leave her alone. She says she just wants to cry. He asks what’s up, she says many things. Flava understands right away that it’s about her son. She cries some more. Flava also understands that her mother leaving hurts her a lot. Flava is pretty smart, except for the part where he doesn’t see that this woman is bad news and he should run. He stays and comforts her. I was hoping to see what she looked like to go out dancing, I’m disappointed. She dresses like somebody’s grandma, I wanted to see what she looked like dressed like someone her own age. Ah well.

Leo is in a robe and with a towel on her head, the first thing I thought was “like Darth Vader when he takes his helmet off.” Andres walks in the room and apologizes but she tells him it’s ok. He asks for clothes for Katy, can she make a suitcase for her that he can take to Azul’s place? She says fine, but why does HE have to take it over there? He just wants to be with Ceci, right? They fight about this for a while. He finally says “hey, sorry, Mo’s orders, too bad for you.” Leo gets a conniving look. Also, even though she just got out of the shower, she has full makeup on.

Flava and Morticia talk about death and things that you can’t change, and her mother, etc etc etc. Flava finally convinces her, I think, to just say ‘screw you’ to her mom and get on with her life. She doesn’t really agree to go along with that plan, though she agrees that Flav has a point. In the end he says come on, let’s go dance already.

GSD whines to Emilia about Azul wanting to adopt Katy. Cripes dude PRIORITIES. He goes on about anything and everything, finally saying that he can’t find the answer. Again, does he think he’ll find it by smoking and drinking coffee a lot? He curses Eva and her whole gang. They rehash Azul, Mo, and Diego business. GSD tries to say that Diego isn’t who they thought he was, Emilia says whatever, Azul loves him. GSD seems to have come to the opinion that Diego is a bum.

Mmmm – Paty Manterola is on a Destilando Amor commercial. She’s great.

Azul whines to Ceci about Diego and what a loser he is and a hypocrite and a liar, etc etc. Ceci doesn’t believe any of it, she thinks Azul is just bitching. She thinks Azul should explain things, but Azul gets pouty and says she loves him but she won’t explain anything, she’s being stubborn. She says something insulting to Ceci that I didn’t catch, then apologizes and blames her mood on not feeling good. Ceci again says Azul should straighten things out with Diego, Azul makes excuses not to. She swears she’ll never get back with him, which means of course she will.

Diego tells Chucho that when Azul was in danger, it was as if his own life was in danger. He is in hell without her, he says. Same as with Azul and Ceci, the friend says to clear things up and the principal makes excuses why to not do it. They move on to talking about his new reduced position with Eva’s gang and that Mo and Andres are responsible for killing Abuelo and Andres. Chucho very sensibly tells Diego to tell Azul that he’s only working for Eva because he has no choice, and that he has a different job now with her, and he’s trying to avenge his friends or whatever, but of course Diego says “what good will it do?” Idiot. He still believes that Azul and Mo are back together for real. Diego vows to be his own man from now on.

Monday – Diego goes into training to fight Mike Tyson. Or something else, I’m not sure what, but he goes into training. Also, Ivan puts his plan into action and then he um sorry another commercial for Destilando Amor with Paty Manterola came on and distracted me. Something happens on Monday.
