Amar Friday Nov 2 - Nothing says I love you like kidnapping

From yesterday – Ivan sits down by a tree and dies.

Anibal gets Chucho and Efrain’s phone numbers from Silvana so he can see what happened with the botched attempt to stop the wedding. Silvana worries what Mo will do if he catches them. Isela joins them. Silvana and Anibal are going to run off to do whatever, Isela tells them what the hell, tell me what’s going on! Anibal and Silvana sit there like they have to tell her that her dog died or something. What’s the big deal? Just tell her that your dreamboat Diego went to try and claim the woman that he REALLY loves.

Diego tries to shake and nose wrinkle Ivan back to life. He finds Ivan’s cell phone. He nose wrinkles more in impotent fury.

Azul cries now that she realizes she is stuck with that loser Mo. Cecilia tries to make her feel better, but the best Azul can do is “well I’ll try my best, I used to love him way back when.” Wow what a beautiful wedding. Azul completely breaks down and bawls her eyes out. Where is Mo to see this, how ‘happy’ his bride is? Or Katy/Caty/Cathy/whatever the captions call her today? Shouldn’t she be throwing her wet blanket all over this?

New scenes finally - Efrain, Gaspar, and Chucho leave some police building that looks like it belongs in Baghdad. It is all torn up, looks like it survived a war. I guess they tried to turn somebody in for something but not enough time has passed. Missing persons, maybe, for Diego, but he hasn’t been gone long enough. They are all grumpy and snipe at each other. Efrain’s phone rings, it’s Diego, they all try and talk to him at the same time. These guys are the three stooges.

Arnaldo and Julio discuss Burgay and his intentions behind putting Diego into the boutique, what Eva had to do with it, etc. Arnaldo tries to reproach him and asks why he took the money, Julio says he needed for his collection and to help pay for Ines hospital bill, which shuts Arnaldo right up.

Mo tells some security guy to take care of something. Mo then tells Burgay that he saw him talking with Arnaldo and he knows Burgay isn’t gay, but he HAS turned to the other side. Burgay, since he is stupid, doesn’t get it. Mo goes on to explain how he knows Burgay has turned against him. Mo says that now HE (Mo) is the superior and Burgay takes orders from him.

Anibal tries to calm Clemencia. Anibal tells her something about people always getting a second chance to fall in love. Sappy music starts playing, to make sure we understand that something is happening with these two. OK WE GET IT.

Silvana shows up at Diego’s apartment and prays out loud for him. Chucho lets her in, they tell her he’s fine, she wants to know if he did something to try and stop the wedding.

Efrain is driving Diego and Ivan to a hospital. I guess Ivan isn’t completely dead after all. Diego and Efrain argue about why Diego just didn’t leave him to die. Diego is too noble, of course, is what it comes down to.

Clemencia tells Lidia and that ass Manuel what happened with Diego.

Amazingly, the wedding party is still going on. Mo tells Azul that they are now a family. Katy says “Now I have my mommy” Mo tells her to take a hike to be alone with Azul. Azul couldn’t look any less pleased to be dancing with her husband. She has a flashback of dancing with Diego. Back in the present, she tells Mo she needs help. He says for what, to forget Diego? He says that’s the most cruel thing a man can hear. Well duh you idiot, this is no surprise. Mo says if she stays with him, he’ll help her forget Diego. He kisses her and she pretends to kiss him back.

Diego shows up at his apartment with Ivan. I guess they weren’t going to a hospital at all. Silvana says they should take him to a hospital, but Diego says no way, a bullet wound would be public information (or something) and he doesn’t want Mo to know who is alive and who is dead. Diego says they need to hide Ivan while he recovers. WTF? He’s going to recover from a bullet in the stomach by resting at somebody’s house? Cripes. Silvana says to take him to her house since Diego’s house is the first place Mo will look. I guess Gloria came home just in time, now she’ll have two extra people living there to complain about. Diego says he has to talk to Silvana, she says she knows that he tried to take Azul away from her wedding. She looks all pissed off. Didn’t she know that was his plan all along?

Lidia is yelling at her mother in her bedroom, holding that same pillow with hearts all over it that she had before. Ah, turns out Clemencia told Lidia that she saw Piero and Lucia making out at the wedding. She wants Lidia to divorce him.

Diego finishes his story to Silvana. Silvana says she understands the love Eva had for Diego. Whatever. She is obsessed with Diego, I’m not sure love is the right word. Maybe ‘stalker’ is better. Diego wrinkles his nose some more and apologizes for hurting her. Some guy is in the apartment looking at Ivan’s wound.

Later that night, Diego and Efrain take a cab and get out next to a limo with flowers on the hood and a sleeping driver. I guess the wedding party is STILL going on. Efrain punches the driver out, they take him out of the car.

There is a toast inside the party, everyone takes a sip except for Azul, who drains her glass. Mo says it’s time for he and Azul to be alone, she’s freaking out about it. Azul looks like she is walking the Green Mile. They go outside to get in the limo, Diego is there in the drivers uniform with his back to them. He opens the door and lets Azul in, then turns and punches out Mo. I guess that boxing training has paid off. The other guests come outside and are surprised to see the car screaming off in a hurry. I guess Efrain is driving because Diego is in the back seat telling Azul that it is he, the one who you love and the one who has come for you. How poetic. Back at the reception hall, Andres goes to help Mo. GSD and Katy start freaking out. Inside the car, Azul isn’t very happy about what happened. Diego says he’s taking her where they can be alone, she slaps him in the face and says he has made a big mistake. She starts screaming for help, he puts his hand on her mouth, she bites him. He finally says he didn’t want to, but she leaves him no choice, and he ties up her hands. This qualifies as a full on kidnapping, I would say. He even gags her with a scarf.

Mo is awake and angry. He orders his flunkies to get after the car. I guess they are crappy flunkies, since they just sat there until he told them to go.

The doctor looking at Ivan says any more bleeding or an infection could be deadly, it was risky to move him to Silvana’s house. He leaves his number in case of emergency. He tells her that if Ivan needs a hospital, he washes his hands of the whole deal and won’t hide anything from the police.

Andres is driving Mo, who is screaming into his cell phone. I guess it’s his security guy Frick, he’s yelling about Eva and Ivan’s bodies at him, threatening to turn him over to Boris, something or other like that. Mo is freaking out, yelling at Andres to hurry up.

Back at the reception hall, GSD tells a cop what happened. The others work on calming down Katy. Another cop shows up with the original driver, who tells how he got knocked out. Arnaldo shows up and wants to know what’s going on. GSD tells him, while still managing to be patronizing.

Mo and Andres think they have spotted the car. How? Didn’t they have like a five minute head start and Efrain was driving like a bat out of hell? How can they just stumble upon them like that?

Gloria comes home, Silvana looks appropriately nervous. She lies and says everything is fine. Gloria knows she has something in her room, she finds Ivan. Gloria sees a man in her bed, ignoring anything else.

Diego tells Azul to stop crying and kisses her, while she still has the gag. Weird.

Mo and Andres follow. Azul makes to open her door, Diego stops her. Diego tells Efrain to go around a turn and kill the lights. I would think that with the inside of the car all lit up they’d be easy to see, but Mo and Andres can’t find them. Mo, of course, blames it all on Andres.

More calming of Katy. Arnaldo and GSD comfort each other, Julio sees it and smiles. They figure that Diego has something to do with it.

Elsewhere, Efrain and Diego carry Azul like a side of beef to another car. She is struggling and trying to cry out, Diego asks her ‘are you comfortable?’ Ha. Efrain is worried about taking part in this, Diego says not to worry, it’s all on him. Yeah right. Cops don’t see things that way. Diego gives Efrain money, Efrain gives Diego some map. They hug and Diego drives off with Azul. I guess this car is a piece of crap, because Efrain has to push it for Diego to start it.

Isela and Anibal return from a date and get kissy. Gloria comes out and yells at Isela that she’s taking great care of Silvana, now she’s an alcoholic and has strange men in her bed! Anibal looks muy confused, I don’t blame him.

Manuel sleeps while Clemencia paces. She wakes him up to complain that she can’t find Diego. Manuel says he’ll show up soon enough fresh as lettuce. I guess that’s some dicho.

Gloria continues to whine. Wow we have Duelo-level scene switching today, 10 second scenes. Isela calls Gloria out as a hypocrite, asking why she is so mad about a man in the house after all of her sex hotline work. Anibal says to call him if they need any help and he leaves. The phone rings and it’s Clemencia saying that Diego is fine.

GSD gets the news that Mo saw the car but lost it. The cops found the car that Diego abandoned too.

Arnaldo tells Mo that he’ll go to his house with him, Mo says he’s not going home, he’s going to go see someone who will know what Diego is up to. I’m guessing Silvana.

Emilia is looking in on Katy, who is talking in her sleep. Metiche Emilia listens, perhaps some truth from ‘the accident’ will come out.

Silvana takes care of Ivan and tells Isela what’s going on. Gloria comes in saying someone is here for her. It’s Mo. He demands to know where Diego is with his wife.

Arnaldo and Julio show up together where GSD, Cecilia, and Ines are. They all talk about where they will sleep, etc. Julio says something to Arny about GSD not saying hello to him, but he doesn’t care because he’ll be wherever Arny needs him.

Silvana makes excuses. She plays dumb. Wait, she really is dumb. She didn’t know what Diego did, she starts whimpering and crying about it. She says she feels the same way as Mo right now, the one she loves has run off with someone else. Mo looks surprised. She says she wishes that Diego was done with Azul forever too. Finally she tells Mo that she has a sick cousin in the house so uh sorry, later.

GS helps Ines get undressed for bed. Emilia enters and wants to know if they are leaving or staying. GSD says he was helping Ines get ready for bed, Emilia says she’ll do it. GS hangs around. Emilia says “uh, helloooo, get out.”

Silvana tells Mo again to go find Diego and Azul, she has a sick cousin. She opens the door for him to leave. He asks her to tell him if she finds out anything. He tells her about Katy being so upset, just to twist the knife. Silvana begs Mo to let her see Katy. He says fine, but only if she tells him everything she knows about Diego.

Diego brings Azul to some old shack, one wall is made of bamboo, maybe it’s the same place Hipolita was being held by the pirates back in Alborada. Diego keeps talking to her all nice, not like he kidnapped her. He lets her loose and she slaps him again. She tries to leave. He tells her she can’t escape. He calls her ‘mi amor’ and she says not to call her that. He says “esta bien, mi amor.” Slightly funny. He says they are far from the car, road, cell phone signal, etc. He says now she has to listen to him.

Julio, Arny, and Cecilia chit chat before bed.

Silvana sits on the bed next to Ivan and explains to Isela why Mo can’t know that Ivan is here. Silvana says Mo is handsome and charming, but not to be trusted. They decide to give Ivan a cold bath to bring down his temperature, but there’s one problem – Gloria is sleeping in the bathroom. She won’t sleep in the living room because there are too many night visitors.

Cecilia finds blankets for Arny and Julio. She gives Julio a horrible looking pink blanket that he calls ‘espantoso’ – horrible. Julio gets nosy and looks in the closet, I guess they are in Leo’s room, and Julio says the clothes look familiar. Ceci says no duh, she bought all that stuff at Julio’s boutique. Julio said “Didn’t you tell me she went on vacation?” Ceci says yes. Julio says it’s strange that she went on vacation but left all her nice new clothes at home. Dum dum DUMMMM. Arny says yeah, and she left all her makeup, perfume, etc.

Diego tells Azul that he told her before that he wouldn’t let her go with Mo. She tries again to leave, he picks her up to stop her. He rambles on about loving her and whatever. He says again that she needs to listen to him. She finally realizes that it was him that tried to get her on the way to the wedding. Wow she’s a smart one, what took her so long? She says he can’t do anything because now she is Mo’s woman. Diego yells no, she is and will always be his (Diego’s). Wow I have to tell you that while this is supposed to be romantic or whatever, in reality it is completely psycho. Completely. Usually this exact situation starts a movie where some poor woman has to find a way to escape from her crazed stalker, who has her hidden away in a shack by the ocean. Diego goes on about how she is his woman. He starts to tell her about the bomb. He starts showing her his scars, Lethal Weapon style.

Ceci wants to know what Julio and Arny are trying to say. They say nothing, but it would take a lot of money to replace all that on a trip.

Diego goes on about the explosion. He tells Azul that Eva died. She doesn’t react. I’m sure she really wants to say “GOOD.”

Monday – Mo continues to fret, Diego and Azul continue to argue, finally Diego says that Mo had Paco and Abuelo killed. There will also be walks on the beach in a wedding dress, and surely lots of alternating making out/arguing.

****************************************Thanks, Ferro. Loved the title.
 

When Diego played Martin in Alborada, he had bad luck at the beach. I'm sure you're right that we are in for several episodes of Diego trying to win Azul over and her giving in and then more squabbling. Ho-hum.
 

Are we really supposed to be rooing for this couple? They're both nuts. The only reason for them to be together is so they're not inflicted on ayone else!

I want Julio, Arnaldo, and Ceci to open a detective agency :)
 

Ferro, I always love your wry humor. Great title and I agree with 5ftLatina that this couple (D & A) should be locked away from the general society. Now maybe Ivan will wake up and really appreciate Silvana's nursing skills. Except that he has killed a few too many people and they probably have to off him, but he didn't have a mother to diss or kill any abuelos so does that make his killing the kind that can be redeemed and forgiven??
 

Yeah he didn't kill anyone that was part of the show, so I'm sure he could be redeemed. They seem to have been trying to make him a sympathetic figure anyway, what with his unrequited love of Eva. Maybe they are going to throw him together with Silvana, since Flava Flav must have gotten a part on another show and cut out so fast.
 

Maybe you missed this, but I saw how the pursuers caught up with the Stooges. They were waiting patiently at a really long red light even though there was no other traffic on the road. These guys must be the most law-abiding kidnappers ever. Later, the pursuers returned the favor by waiting at another (or the same?) red light until they lost them.

I am looking forward to driving in Mexico sometime; the drivers there must be really polite.
 

"Impotent fury," great description.

Ewwww, Diego kisses Azul while gagged? That IS weird; and gross.

Chris, thanks for the very funny recap.
 

I haven't been following this show, but I did catch some of this episode -- what a depressing wedding! And Azul and Diego seem like a pretty depressing couple, too. Maybe I should be glad I haven't been able to watch this show? But I enjoyed the recap, thank you.
 

Get ready for a week of nose wrinkling and eyebrow raising as Azul and Diego wrestle in that Love Shack. Basta. We need more Annndresss.
 

Heh heh, Love Shack, that's funny!
 

Ha...I too noticed the multiple incarnations of Kati. Does she have a real name anyway? Like Catalina, or Catherine or something?...just an odd missing detail there....
 

Thought I'd stop in and say hi, Chris, and thanks for plugging along. By accident I saw a couple minutes of this show last night and realized one of the reasons I find it so repellant is the strange sound track - there is some kind of echo on the voices like they were recorded in a holding cell in prison.
 

I have been following along though I am a bit tired of all this love you- hate you litany between Diego and Azul. The scene at the Love Shack only promises to be more obnoxious -more nose wrinkling, nostrils flaring,bosom heaving, screaming and wailing complete with crocodile tears.Will someone put an end to this already? I agree that Ivan's role is getting a major cleaning so that he can go off into the sunset with psycho Sivana. I have a question as a medical clinician. Has anyone questioned why Aunt Ines is not capable of feeding herself or undressing herself but is able to stand in the hopes of catching a wedding bouquet and dolling herself up for the wedding? Just wondering.
