Destilando Amor - Nov. 29, 2007 - Gavi and Alonso in Londres; Rod has his arraignment hearing; Aaron gets caught with his pants down

EPISODE - Nov. 29, 2007: (Ed. note: thank you for your patience, here's my complete recap from the episode.)

* at the hospital waiting area, Minnie arrives and Dani shoves her hostility and frustration in Minnie's face - comparing her granny's health to Minnie's baby news. Dani, Sofia and Elvis leave. Fedra and Bruno stay with Minnie. Minnie is upset by Dani's remarks. Bruno tries to explain. Minnie sits on the arm of a chair and takes out her cell phone - she wants to call Aaron. Fedra talks her out of calling him with the news; instead go to him and tell him in person. Minnie puts the phone away.

* Aaron is at Pammie' condo. He is frustrated in his futile search for his "maldito" car keys. Pammie smiles and continue to play hide and seek with them. Aaron is fed up with the game and vows to just take a taxi. Pammie calls "Bichie" here's your keys, as she waves them. Aaron stomps over to take them. He kisses her on the forehead and promises to call her soon. He leaves. Pammie thought bubbles, 'Oh, how I am enjoying my vengeance.'

* James sits in the hospital waiting area. Sofia walks in crying. James asks her what the doctor told them. She says Grammy is in a coma. He consoles her. She doesn't want her grammy to die.

* Elvis is in Pilar's hospital room - Pilar is hooked up to the oxygen machine and the heart monitor (ed. note: if she's in a coma, where's the breathing tube stuck down her throat and the catheters stuck into her - chehem - other body openings?) Elvis is wearing the lovely blue surgical cap and gown, he slips the face mask down off his face as he sits down and holds Pilar's hand. He starts to talk to her.

* Arraignment/Discover hearing for Rod and Lluvia begins - Judge "Leonarda/Consuelo" and District Attorney "Juan" are present, as are Dani and Patricio as audience, Lluvia from the women's cage window and Rod from the men's cage window. Judge reads the charges for Rod and asks Rod to make his declaration for the court. He says he is not guilty of the charges. Nestor listens from the desk to Rod's statement. Judge and District Attorney are stunned by the change in plea and ask follow-up questions about why Rod pleaded guilty with his first statement and now is pleading not guilty. Rod explains that he and Marianna are both victims in the fraud scheme. District Attorney explains to Rod that with his change in plea, they will have to subpeona Marianna to testify. Nestor nods to Rod and Rod nods in response to the question.

* At the London Tequila Conference, Gavi, Alonso, Don Roberto and London rep. stand at the Mexico delegation table. (Manuel Landeta) walks in like a French tequila superstar - the press immediately gravitate to him and start asking him questions. (Manuel) stops to greet Gavi in French. Gavi responds likewise. He moves on to greet several other members of the conference; the press pack continues to follow him around. Gavi vents her frustration and outrage at (Manuel)'s games and presence at the conference to Don Roberto and Alonso. Don Roberto tells her to ignore him, he's not worth the effort. Don Roberto tells them to sit down. Alonso starts to talk with Gavi.

* The arraignment/discovery hearing continues. Rod explains further how innocent he and Marianna are of the scheme. The real culprit is Aaron Montalvo. Nestor presents to Judge and District Attorney the blue three-ring binder with all the official financial documents for Ardiente Pasion tequila as well as for Montalveno hacienda as proof for Rod's defense. Judge orders a recess in the proceedings until tomorrow morning. She calls for subpeonas to be issued for Aaron Montalvo and Pamela. Dani stands with Patricio; she smiles to her brother who gives her the fingers crossed sign. She also calls for a subpeona to be prepared for Marianna Franco. Judge and District Attorney adjourn from the room. Nestor walks over to Rod - Rod pleads with Nestor to find another witness to testify, he doesn't want Marianna to be involved in any of this. As the guard tries to take Rod back to his cell, Rod struggles with the guard as he shouts to his sister Dani encouragement for Pilar, then he shouts his hostility towards Patricio for what Aaron and he did to the company and him. When Rod finally leaves, Lluvia calls out to Patricio - Patricio tells her not to worry, all will be fine. Lluvia is taken back to her cell in the women's section. Dani then gets the opportunity to give Patricio her two cents worth of lowered opinions about his and Aaron's plan against Rod and the family. "I hope your conscience lets you sleep at night." Then she proceeds to tell him about how his and Aaron's presence are not welcomed at the hospital for Grammy P. She tells him off, "If Granny died, then your (and Aaron's) plan with have been a success." Dani and Nestor leave. Patricio starts to grow a conscience.

* Attorney visits Aaron at his office. He tells Aaron that Rod has declared himself not guilty. Aaron isn't surprised, he half-expected it from his cousin. The attorney then informs Aaron that the judge has issued a subpeona for him to testify tomorrow. Aaron accepts it and advises the attorney to have all the i's dotted and t's crossed and everything in order by then. Attorney then shocked the heck of Aaron when he says the judge has also issued a subpeona for Pamela to testify. (Aaron about chokes and spits out a mouthful of whiskey.)

* Nestor and Dani arrive back at the hospital waiting room (faster than a speeding bullet; just how close is that jail house to the hospital anyway?). Sofia and James fill them in on the not good prognosis of Grammy. Nestor sees Bruno and sits with him on the sofa. Bruno asks about Rod's hearing; Nestor gives him the shocking news, Rod has declared his innocence and has accused Aaron of the crime. Bruno looks up to the ceiling in disbelief.

* Aaron, in his office, is on the phone with Pammie. He proposes taking a long trip with her to the Bahamas(?). Pammie is enchanted by the idea, then reminds him of the USB arrival. Aaron will be in touch. After he hangs up, he doesn't look too happy (in fact he looks rather uncomfortable and nervous).

* Minnie has breakfast in bed by herself. She is talking on the phone with Fedra about Aaron, Grammy's status at the hospital, and Rod and his sisters. Another call chimes in. Minnie hangs up with Fedra to take the call. The caller (Pammie with a high-pitched child's voice) tells Minnie that her husband is still seeing Pamela. Minnie doesn't believe it at first and asks for the caller's name. The caller (Pamela) continues to say if Minnie wants full fledged proof she is to come to the condo at Castillo and Winston Street #98 at 4 p.m. this afternoon. Pammie hangs up, then prays Minnie takes the bait. Minnie doesn't quite know what to do or think.

* Bruno talks with Nestor about how to complete his promise to his mom and protect the family name by keeping both Aaron and Rod out of prison. Nestor says he can't - not with the evidence piling up against Aaron in this scheme. Fedra walks in at the end of the conversation. Nestor looks at her, stands up and walk away. Fedra sits beside Bruno and asks what the conversation was about. Bruno tells her the truth - that Aaron was responsible for everything (the fraud shipments and framing Rod).

* Pammie goes shopping at Vicky Form (mexico's Victoria's Secret). She buys some special lingerie for her very special date with Aaron.

* In London, the conference continues. As Gavi sits and listens to the translator in her headphones, she daydreams about her skinny dip with Rod in the private cave pools and then the night time private luau and serenade. She thought bubbles wondering if it was all a lie, if and when she will ever stop thinking about him and move on with her life.

* Rod, at the prison cafe, sits alone playing with his food. He gives up on the meal and pushes it away just as the news report comes on television from Fabian Lavalle about the London Tequila Conference. Rod is very intrigued, and shocked, when he sees Gavi and Alonso together in the video.

* Aaron is on the phone talking with Fedra about Minnie. Fedra will watch for her and take care of it. She warns him about Nestor and Bruno's conversation about him and the case against Rod unravelling. He assures her he will handle it. She also tells him how Grammy is doing. They hang up. Then Patricio enters the office and confronts Aaron about the case against Rod turning against them. Aaron tells Patricio that he is going right now to get the USB files back from Pammie. Patricio asks what will happen if the judge actually has Marianna testify in the case. Aaron tells him don't worry and leaves.

* Alonso and Gavi leave Clara and Meester Thomas in the corner office near the stereo system. Clara asks to hear some mexican music. Meester Thomas says, no, no, no, I have something else I want you to listen to. He pops in his CD in the stereo and turns it on.

* Aaron goes to see Pammie at her condo. He shows her the plane tickets for their trip. Then he asks about the USB. She says it isn't here yet. He chokes and coughs. She assures him that it will come by messenger today. He hugs her and turns on his charm. She plays hard to get. They move to the living room. He sits on the sofa, she fixes him a whiskey on the rocks. They discuss the company and the problems due to the fraud scandal. Aaron brings up whether Pammie is still trying to get revenge against him. Pammie does her best acting to convince him she's given up on that plan. He buys it. They get lovey-dovey. They go to the bedroom.

* At the condo in London, Meester Thomas and Clara continue to listen to Frank Sinatra's Strangers in the Night. In the living room, Gavi and Alonso are trying to work on the laptop computer. Gavi is really getting annoyed with the music being so loud, she can't concentrate. She moves her head, Alonso is too close, She knocks her head into the side of his eye. He plays the pain up. She apologizes and wants to get something for it. He tells her don't bother, and then repeats to her something she always said in the past. They share a laugh. Gavi gets back to work on the laptop and warns Alonso to keep a safe distance she she doesn't knock his head again. Alonso, who has developed other ideas about her concern for him again, tells her, "I'll run the risk in order to be close to you." Gavi shoots him a look of strange shock. He gets her back to work; she returns to typing and he makes googly-eyes at her.

* Rod works at restacking the prison library shelves. He is still reeling from seeing Gavi and Alonso together on the news report. He grunts, drops a book and the guard comes over to see what's wrong. Rod just look at the guard and the book.

* Minnie arrives at the condo. building. She walks to the reception desk, looking for Pamela's condo. He tells her the number and then asks for her name. She tells him "a friend" and then, as he picks up the phone to announce her, she proceeds up the stairs herself.

* Doorman buzzes up to Pammie's condo to tell her that a friend is coming up to see her. Aaron calls out from the bedroom, who is it? Pammie covers and says it's the messenger with the USB, and to come out with her. Pammie opens the door a crack and then stands waiting at the corner of the living room, in her blue fuzzy bathrobe and matching fuzzy slippers. As Aaron walks out with pants still undone and shirt unbuttoned, Minnie appears at the doorway and is shocked and mortified by seeing Aaron and Pammie together like that. Pammie is equally shocked to see Minnie and her baby pillow belly.

* Bruno is in Pilar's room, telling her about Rod's hearing and that there is a good chance that he will get out and be coming to visit her. He begs her to wake up and survive this. (Don't abandon me, mami! Please!)

* Out on the front sidewalk, Minnie runs in her stiletto boots and baby pillow belly to her SUV parked on the street. Aaron runs down the stairs in his bare feet and tries to stop her from leaving. She drives off. Aaron yells up to the doorman, who the devil let her in? He says she went up before getting permission. Aaron is frustrated and runs back up the stairs.

* Aaron runs into the condo and blasts Pammie about Minnie's appearance there at the condo. Pammie blasts him back for using her again and not telling her that Minnie was pregnant. They argue. He still wants to be with Pammie; she doesn't believe him; they argue some more, then they argue and renegotiate a deal for the USB. Then the phone rings. It's Gaspar calling Pammie to find out why she hasn't turned over that USB yet to the police. He's getting furious and frustrated with his daughter's procrastination games and hangs up. Pammie is nervous and paces trying to think. Aaron wonders what the call was about.

* James, Sofia, Nestor, Dani and Elvis are together in the hospital waiting area. Nestor tells them about Gaspar's call and reaction to discovering that Pamela hasn't handed over the USB and disks yet.

* Pammie is getting confused. Aaron wants her to tell him what's wrong. She wants to be alone and begs him to leave. He sits down with her and tells her his deal - they will leave tomorrow if she agrees not to turn over that USB to the authorities. She is still confused. He tells her for her continued loyalty, they will leave tomorrow on their trip.

* (almost like superman) Aaron is back at his condo screaming at the maid. She leaves the room. He answers the phone, he thinks it's Minnie. It's his mommy Fedra, she can't find Minnie anyway at the hospital. Where is she? Aaron has to tell her everything that happened with Pam and Minnie at Pam's condo.

* Minnie is alone, distraught and crying in her SUV. Her cell phone rings in her purse. She refuses to answer it. Aaron is on the other end, praying and begging that she answer.

* The last day of the conference, as Fabian Lavalle reports. He stands at the doorway and stops the London rep and Don Roberto to ask him how he thinks the conference is proceeding. Don Roberto responds that it is going well, he is optimistic of the outcome. Don Roberto and London rep go into the hall. Fabian then stops Gavi and Alonso, and Gavi responds to Fabian's question about the conference. They enter. Fabian Lavalle ends his report. (Manuel) and the others all sit down around the circle conference tables. Alonso tells Gavi not to worry, when it is all over they will celebrate.

* Pammie gets a wake-up call from the doorman at 1 a.m. Minnie is there again. Pammie gives permission for her to come up. She wonders why Minnie returned.

* Aaron is in a panic, and is on his cell phone with someone. He hasn't been able to reach Minnie all day or night. He wants to call out a search party to find her.

* Pammie and Minnie are face to face at the condo door. Pammie lets Minnie inside. Minnie is there to talk about Aaron. Minnie asks Pammie why she planned the whole encounter tonight. Was it part of her revenge scheme? Pammie doesn't deny the revenge was part of it. Minnie asks for more details and information about Aaron and her. Pammie comes clean about Aaron and her relationship. She has no ties to him now that she knows Minnie is pregnant. She doesn't want to ruin Minnie or the new baby's lives again. She no longer wants anything more to do with Aaron, especially dealing with the USB. Minnie demands answers and the whole truth about her relationship lately with Aaron. Pammie plays the answering machine tape with Aaron's voice on it, talking about his need to see Pammie and his pessimism about his marriage to Minnie. Minnie isn't happy (or maybe she's shocked) as she listens. Pam shows Minnie the plane tickets Aaron dropped off. Minnie is angry and slaps them down to the coffee table. Pam is calm and continues to tell Minnie about the case and the subpeonas, she pulls out the USB and disk copy from the front entry desk and hands them to Minnie with an explanation that these are the incriminating evidence against Aaron. "It's your call," says Pammie, "You can decide what to do with them." Minnie is stunned.

* Gavi, Alonso, Don Roberto and London rep are in a private conference room - happy with the successful outcome of the conference.

* Minnie finally arrives at their condo. Aaron waits in the chair by the door with whiskey at hand. He is so happy to see Minnie. Minnie is angry and doesn't want Aaron to touch her. He tries to beg and plead with Minnie to give him a change to explain. She spews her hostility over all the lies and back-stabbing maneuvers and her finding him half-naked and sleeping with Pammie again. He tries to beg and plead for another chance. He tries to touch her. She slaps him and yells, "NO ME TOCAS!" (DON'T TOUCH ME!)

ADVANCE -- Monday is the 2 1/2 hour grand finale.

Comments:
Minerva is crying disconsolately into the fine leather steering wheel of her SUV. Back at the apartment, Aaron is calling her over and over again (contesta, Mini contesta!) but, as usual, the enemy cellphone does not do his bidding. Minerva makes her way back to the scene of the crime and is readmitted to Pam's apartment. The two women face each other, Pam in her defenseless bathrobe, Minnie in tight jeans and ominous stilletto boots. Still Pam is not fazed. She confesses that Aaron is no longer on the pedestal where she had always placed him. She was unaware of the Minerva's pregnancy. She asks Minerva to leave so she can go back to bed, but Minerva refuses. Pam then plays the recording of Aaron making initial contact with her, calling his marriage unhappy, and Minerva a pajarraca (skinny ugly old bird). Finally, she pulls the long sought USB out of a drawer and hands it over to Minerva. Aaron's fate is now in his wife's hands.
 

I had some respect for Pammie until she played that recording back to Minnie which I thought was cruel and unnecessary. But handing the evidence over to Minnie is interesting. Minnie is royally pissed and I wonder what she will do with the discs and also if Pammie has a back up because her father will be livid if Aron doesn't get punished.

Aron racing down to stop Minnie, shoeless and disheveled was hilarious and wonder of wonder he failed to destroy a cell phone for once and everyone else also handled phones with care. The budget must be running low.

Gavi, Blandi, Chatty Clarita and her new swain - ho hum BORING.

Just as I called it a gowned masked Bruno crying in Pilar's room.

Fedra is more of an accomplice to Aron's evil doing than I ever expected. Bruno should kick her skinny behind to the curb when the truth comes out.

Bird brain Rod practically throwing all the books in the library to the floor thinking of Gavi with Doctorcito. Well what did he expect? He told her he didn't love her enough to marry her? How nice that he has developed some housekeeping skills which will come in handy when the almighty Montalvo's have to work for a living LOL

I'm going to miss my hour with these idiots but not too much. I wonder when and if JuanQ and ASL will ever end and what their replacements will be.
 

Well, gee. Anyway, The resurrected Leonarda sure looks good in glasses. Not being familiar with the Mexican judicial system, I'm thinking that this is still going through an investigation prior to what we call an "indictment" being issued. I know, nobody cares what you call it as long as Rod, the Hot Bod, gets out of jail in time for wedding.

Good thing we don't have time for more sub-plot material, e.g., Clarita's romance with Thomas. Who could stand it?

Pammie sure is taking chances. I can't believe she still feels anything but contempt for Aaron She is now leaving his fate up to Minerva who has been a very hateful character in this novela. If Isa could redeem herself, so can Minerva. We better find out tonight because I don't think I can live out the weekend without that information.

As we draw closer to the end I can't help wondering how, when and if the side stories will be cleared up i.e. Hilario, SanJuana, Acacia. Or have the writers forgotten all about them?

Has this site changeover night. The posting seems to be different or is it just me.
 

Actually, we could call this episode "Strangers in the Night"--that great old Sinatra song Pedro Almendariz, Jr. (Mr. Thomas) put on for his Clarita. Yes, they are cultural and linguistic strangers. But then so are the couple trying to work nearby. Gavi's thoughts are nowhere near Alonso, no matter what he might fondly imagine. I have not been among the Dr. Blondie-bashers, but he certainly was a wuss last night. More strangers in the night--Pam and Aaron, of course. Again their motivations are at odds with one another, and contrary to what each surmises. And finally two strangers meet--Pa and Minerva. These strangers in the night will fit the last piece into the puzzle.
 

Another detail on Pam. She made a phone call to Minerva, using a fake high-pitched voice. She told Minerva that Aaron's romance with Pamela wasn't over, that he was still seeing her. She said if Minerva wanted proof, she should come to ---- adress at ---- time to see the proof. At least that's how I understood it. In other words, she set Aaron up. Aaron running out to street barefooted and clutching his pants was superb. I don't know about these games Pam is playing.

There was also the scene at the international tequila conference. I couldn't translate all the talk, but it sounded like the sexy bald guy was willing to go along with Gavi's requests. Someone with better skills can verify or correct this. Gavi seems to be able to work the "El KaBong" effect with large groups of men as well as individuals.
 

I have just read the recaps...thanks I have missed three days, I think I have them on
DVD but haven't checked yet..Yep if I was Pammie I'd have a copy of the USB, cause I would never trust Minnie to come clean. I mean I guess it is nice to let Minnie try & redeem herself, but other people are in jail
 

I was really surprised by Pammie. I thought she had been plotting revenge and only revenge for a longgg time now, and then she suddenly weakens and waffles. I was surprised earlier when she took Aaron off to the bedroom for another chance for her to catch an STD, and now this! However, it seems to me a few days ago when she was holding up the mini drive, she also had a CD in her hand, so maybe she does have a backup. To Pammie’s somewhat credit, she did at least look very pained when Minnie came in to find Aaron there, and when she played her the phone tape.

I was also surprised to see Rod having to make his statement from inside a cage. Can’t he have a seat like everyone else? Why not shackles instead of a cage? I wonder if this is standard for the justice system, or if it’s just for dramatic effect.

I enjoyed the Aaron/Mini acting – they both were great. He does need her, and she him. I wonder if she’s going to use the evidence. Probably, since they have only 2 ½ hours to clear all this up and get Gavi home and into a wedding dress. I don’t know what they’re going to do about the poor agaves.
 

Aside from Aaron's hilarious hi-jinks, last night's episode was a real disappointment. Pamela's revenge turned out to be nothing more than a sick, pathetic woman, finally realizing that she was nothing more than a piece of A-- to
a self absorbed, greedy, disloyal, scheming, low down dirty dog! And that's just what she deserved. As for Minnie, she also deserves her pain and suffering, and so much, much more. She has been nothing but mean and cruel throughout, and dumb Pamela was much nicer to her than she deserved. Yeah, they were both victims of Aaron, but their actions have shown that they have learned nothing at all.

Agaves? Agaves? We don't need no stinkin' agaves...we have amor! Love watching Aron get his cojones is a vise & Minerva looks like she do some serious destruction. Pammie...wow...just don't know what to say. Rod, Gavi & the doc are totally boring compared with this trio! Double espresso for Monday night...can't wait to see how they wrap up this package of goodies.

Pam's story isn't over yet, I hope (I REALLY hope!). Pam was smart to use Minnie for her revenge because it will hurt Aaron a lot more if his downfall comes from her than from Pam. Also, Minnie was very cruel to Pam when she took Aaron back so Pam could be paying her back for that. (Personally, Pam was messing with a married man, so honey, you got what you deserved, or at least you shouldn't have been surprised if things didn't turn out your way.) I just hope for once a character was actually smart in this show and Pam made a backup in case Minnie doesn't use what she was given. Then again, I'm still bummed by the way the writers didn't really make Frankie the Skankie pay for his crimes like he should have, so who knows how smart they'll have Pam turn out to be?
Kim P.
 

Good point Kim P.,but the smartest thing Pam could do at this point is to testify against Aron if needed, and then crawl back into her depression. Even if she testifies, it will look like a woman-scorned testimony without the usb to back up her claims. She has made a mockery out of the support her parents have given her, especially her father, and is willing to let innocent people suffer for the crimes of what?? Good sex?? Because that's all Aron turned out to be.
 

I saw Pam hand Min the USB, the back up cd or dvd that she had made a couple of episodes ago and then the tape from the phone. So I don't think she has another copy of anything. What a major disappointment, guess she is sicker and much more pathetic than we hoped for this deserving abuelacursingcellphonekiller (to rephrase the description of Andres on ASL). We can just hope Pam of the raccoon eyes will be vindictive enough to continue making his life a living hell on earth.

Rod should read instead of throwing his books and fuming over Gavi. And I want Pilar to wake up because I think Bruno will have another heart attack if he is left to the vultures he calls immediate family.

Let's hope Friday night redeems the plot a bit. Holy cats, I want some revenge, I tell ya!!
 

Actually, I'v liked Pam lately and she's bored me in the past. She looked smashing in her champagne colored dress with her hair shorter and bouncier--oh yeah and shopping at Vicky Form. Benedek's acting has progressed clinging to Aaron's arm and murmuring . . Bichi. . She was perky and sarcastic .Leaving his fate in Minerva's hands was meant to be.
 

Does anyone know if Pasion will have English subtitles. I saw a preview on youtube and it had them.
 

The best part of the show was Aaron's impactado look when Minnie caught Pammy and him together. Priceless!!!!!!
 

There's an awful lot of stuff to be cleared up tonight, before the grand finale and we're lucky to have Jardinera to recap it for us. She doesn't miss a thing and we'll finally get the truth, hopefully.
It's going to be a busy hour and I'll be glued to my set tonight.
Has anyone seen the scene were Fernando kisses the lady's hand and then looks up and lets a little smile lift his lip. OHHHHHHH!
 

my favorite part, next to Aaron holding up his pants, was when we finally got to see Pammie front on and Aaron kissed her blubber lips ... the sides squished out from under the pressure of his like blobs of mercury skittering away. Mary T
 

Thanks JR for a thriller recap. The comments are also interesting and reflect most of my thoughts. I agree with anon 03:38 that Pam has made a mockery out of the support her parents have given her. She used to be my girl, but now I'm a bit upset with her. Apparently she thought the sex was worth giving up the USB drive. Because the novela is down to the last few hours, we can predict with 99.9 percent accuracy that the USB drive will indeed by presented as part of Aaron's demise. But Pamela isn't supposed to know that. So, what she did was just plain selfish and dumb. It's as though she's still in love and doesn't have the heart to present evidence against her old lover. On the otherhand, it seems like the writers are going to continue presenting new questions even at this late date. Just think, only one more episode after tonight and the only person's fate we know is Frankie's. Then, in order to stall for time/closure, I'll bet the 2.5 hour show will contain a lot of old stuff. Grrrrrrrrrr!
 

Tell me, how many times does your husband have to screw around before you realize he's a Black and Decker? Do us all a favor and trade in your drill for a new one, why don't you Minnie?
 

Pammy gets no sympathy from me!! If she's in tonight's episode then Hannah bar the door! What she did from my viewer's point of reference was indefensible even if she was inclined to somehow spare Minnie and Aaron's child as the reason. Other innocent lives were still in the balance (Lluvia is not blameless, so I mean Gavi here) and destined to rot in jail for a crime they didn't commit. She is lower than spit in my view right now. --Nothing would have happened to Minnie's pregnancy because of this and if it did, then, perhaps it was meant to be and should be because of Minnie's odious character and deeds. Some women are not meant to be mothers and only breed more monsters.
 

I seriously don't get Pam.

Even if Minnie turns over the information to the authorities, it won't be a redeeming point for her because she'll be doing it for revenge, not for justice.

The poor child she's carrying - what chance does it have of learning to be a decent person?
 

Minnie's baby will have a better chance at a decent upbringing if she abandons the poor thing in the jungle. Somehow I think wild animals would be better parents than Minnie or Aaron.
 

Well, it looks to me like Pam made sure that Minerva will be the Avenger for both of them. Minerva asked Pam to tell her everything, that she wanted to know what was between Pam & her hubby -- so Pam played her the phone tape. Yeah! Minerva impactada with a tear, but she is a much more vengeful character than Pam is. Pam sealed Aron's fate when she handed over all the stuff to Minerva.

Am also enjoying the scenes in jail where Rod starts to throw his usual tantrum -- slamming and tossing things -- and then some guard steps up with the baton out, and Rod backs off and stops right away. Makes one think that maybe Rod needs one of those guys around ALL the time, like when he gets out of jail too. Just to keep the tantrums under control -- no need for sexy psychologists when you have a hunky Mexican cop with a big baton nearby! Look out!!

And Dr. Blandie/Blondie and his ilusion of Gavi -- it's so clear there's NO chemistry -- except to him. Hope that ends softly for him though, because he has actually been a nice character. Just a victim of the "El Kabong" effect, like the many others. I liked how one of you said it's interesting how the El Kabong effect works on groups of men as well as individuals.

And yes, the German or Australian guy whatever he is, was also a recipient of the El Kabong effect and turned the vote towards the Mexican contingent because of it. You are right, that was the outcome of the convention/conference issue -- he kabonged and capitulated.

Have seen several chapters of Pasion in Mexico, where it was already in full swing and about halfway through. Looks like a hard story line to follow, and lots of really bad acting with unrealistic social settings for the time period.

Look foreward to tonight & Monday's gran finale, though don't want it to end. Hope they put this out on DVD soon, in some official capacity , so we can buy a set!

Thanks all for your recaps!

Ha! That was an interesting concept of the offspring of Min and AAron being better off raised by wild animals ! It could be the plotline of the sequel. They could call it ''The Mexican Jungle Book.'' I just want some closure now. I couldn't believe that Pammy handed the incriminating evidence off to Minerva. However, I think it's kind of like sending in a pinch hitter for a baseball player. Pammy knows that she is in pretty bad shape mentally and physically, and she knows that Min can hit AAron over the fence because she can really bring the BSC. Go Min, do what you do !!! It's outta hereeeee !!!!! As for Rod temper tantrums, maybe Gavi doesn't need to hire the guard...maybe she just needs to invest in one of those batons...or a stun gun.
 

"Aaron's impactado look when Minnie caught Pammy and him together." This is the best part of the show for me too.
