Caray, Caray!

On the boat to Mexico, Lis more openly lusts after Captain Ric while talking to Francesca, they are in Ric’s cabin and she is groping everything Ric owns, Lis is sniffing and fondling everything. Stalker! Ric arrives and agrees to bunk with Mario for a couple days so the girls can have his cabin. Ric explains where they are going and that he has a fake ID. Francesca asks what the new name is and is it from somebody he killed? This angers Captain Ric and he snaps “I don’t know” and says he’ll see them later. He leavevs. Lis angrily asks why she said that, Fran says because it’s true. Lis says she shouldn’t say stuff like that outside at all.

Santiago is working on fixing the mill, Camila walks up to chat. They don’t seem as nervous around each other as before. Saintly (thanks Melinama for the name) offers whatever help she may require for her move. As she leaves, Saintly begs her to not feel uncomfortable around him and starts rattling on. Camila says whatever already, you got married, what can we do? Saintly wants to be friends. Camila finally says ok, but she doesn’t seem to mean it. Saintly takes this opportunity to give her a hug that is more than friendly. They both start crying – that took what, a minute? Saintly goes back to work and Camila tells herself that they’ll never be able to do it, she’ll never be able to look at him just like a friend.

Ric and crew have arrived in Mexico, they are greeted nicely by whoever that guy is who seems to run the show at the bay, Lazaro is also there. Ric introduces his cousin and aunt. Lazaro offers an apology for taking La Camila out to sea without Ric’s permission, Ric glares at him and says they’ll discuss it later. Lis taps around in the sand with her cane, which is hilarious. Ric describes the scenery to Lis, then has to break up a catfight. Lis asks about Ric’s house, Ric says his boat is his house, but he has a small refuge here, etc etc etc. I think Lis just wants any excuse to hear Ric’s voice.

The ad for the Desperate Housewives show says it will start Thursday, Jan 10 at 10/9 central. Don’t the shows at that hour change from day to day? Maybe that will just be a weekly show.

Ric and Mario try and figure out how to sail closer to San Fernando. Lazaro is hanging around trying to act cool even though he knows he’s in trouble. Finally Lazaro asks what they want to do in San Fernando, Ric says basically none of your beeswax. Lazaro says “ok I’ll come with you.” Ric says no way, oh and by the way you are PROHIBITED from using any of the ships to go run around. He bares his teeth when delivering that pronouncement, Lazaro just meekly says “yes sir.” I am thinking good call on that, but then he shoots himself in the foot by continuing on with “here’s what happened, some of the guys were bored, and..” Ric says whatever you don’t know what to do in an attack. Lazaro AGAIN (what an idiot, quit while you’re ahead, didn’t you see the time Ric killed a guy for giving him lip?) starts making excuses but Ric shuts him up and sends him off to arrange for the horses and carts to travel to San Fernando. They call in the local guy (I can’t figure out or remember his name) and Ric tells him to keep an eye on Lazaro to make sure he doesn’t do anything stupid. The guy says sure thing and drops off the box full of papers Ric asked for.

Lis and Francisca walk on the beach, Lis is obsessed with the fact that the other boat is named Camila. Francisca gives a million reasons why that might be the case, Lis doesn’t buy it. I would normally call her psycho for how she is thinking except that this is novelaland and she happens to be right that the boat is named after our protagonista. Lis claims to not be jealous of Camila, which is of course a bunch of crap, especially since she then asks Fran to describe what she looks like. Lis is worried that word of Captain Ric may have spread, but Fran says Tim never talked to anybody and Ric is going to use a fake ID anyway.

Ric says the fake papers are in his true name, so that should help. He says he needs to work on the signature and sends for pen and paper. Ric also says he needs to notify Foreman that he’ll be off for a while taking care of personal business. The girls arrive at his shack and say the place is lovely and they’d like to come back some day. Ric tells the ladies that he will be using the name Ricardo Lopez de Carvajal. His cover is that he is a friend of the family in charge of taking care of Lis. Lis asks, why isn’t your story that you are my fiancé? Ric says something like that would draw too much attention. Fran wants to know how they are going to get the money. Ric says if Camila was pregnant, there isn’t anything to be done. Otherwise, they’ll present the facts to her and have her make the logical decision. That sounds a bit like ‘make her an offer she can’t refuse.’

Dona Sofia asks Ofelia how Camila reacted to Saintly being married. They rehash. They both agree that Saintly still loves her. Sofia says maybe they’ll have an affair, Ofelia is offended. Sofia says when a man feels that much passion, etc, who knows.

Across the square, Jorge stares at Ofelia. He is interrupted by some stammering flunky who updates him on the earthquake relief efforts. Yet another funeral winds through the square. The stammering dude follows Jorge into his office to tell him more. The guy then goes on with tax collection details, finishing with the percentage to be earned on the sale of some house to, you won’t believe it, Camila. The guy peppered his info with “you won’t believe it” and “you’ll never guess” which irritates Jorge. Jorge is impactada, then the guy says she now is Camila de Salamanca.

Al Diablo con los Hombres is only “Muy Pronto”, no exact date given. I suspect now that this show will be what follows Amar.

Over dinner, Camila tells Ascanio that she did the accounts and Vasco spent more money than he should have. Ascanio makes some excuse and Camila says he isn’t in trouble, she knows how Vasco is with money. She understands but she won’t throw away money. She says the home purchase is almost done. The kid (I can’t remember his name now either) says he’s ready to go see his mom, he doesn’t want to wait for Ascanio to check it out first, he wants to tell her about Angel. Camila says to wait a couple days, Ascanio agrees and explains how they’ll do it. As they discuss it, Don Jorge arrives. He asks to sit down, Camila delivers a good burn on him by saying she didn’t think he needed permission to do what he wants. He sits and says it is good to see her. He is introduced to the others. Ah Claudio is the kid’s name. Jorge is glad that she is alive and she looks so pretty.

Later as they go upstairs, Jimena says she thinks Jorge is nice, she had the impression that he was old and fat. She even calls him handsome. Camila reminds her that he is the one who did that bad thing. Jimena says no, the kidnappers did that. Camila says Jorge started it. Let me get this straight – Jimena knows the whole story and now is saying “oh whatever, he’s so hot”? wtf. Camila says she’s just nice because he is the boss and she doesn’t want him as an enemy. Jimena says that Jorge still seems to like Camila, Camila says he likes any woman, Jimena says oh, then she has a chance! Camila says if she does that their friendship is over. Jimena plays the old “oh, I was just kidding” card. Then says someone like him wouldn’t like someone like her. I disagree, Jorge would like her just fine. As we all know.

Alberto grumps his way across the town square and comes to Jorge’s office. Jorge tells him that this super hot chick who happens to be rich and widowed is buying that house. Alberto laughs and says Jorge has decided he must have her, right? Jorge says yes, and she owes me. Jorge finally fills him in on the whole truth, that he couldn’t get it up for Camila way back when. Alberto finally puts two and two together that Camila is the widow.

I guess Camila and Jimena didn’t see the house before, just the boys. They come to the new house and are so happy, Ascanio and Jimena both say they can help work there, Camila says no, they are her brother and sister now. She tells Claudio that she would love him to stay too. He promises to come back some time. They all dance around happily like idiots.

Captain Ric now has his new short hair and nice clothes. He, Mario, and some others are riding through the forest towards San Fernando. The ladies ride in a carriage. Lis has gone off the deep end, she is just moaning about how she wishes she wasn’t blind so she could look at Ricardo.

Saintly and one of the porno twins come to Camila’s house to help her for something. She comes out to greet him and says sorry for calling but he is the only one in town who knows how to do that stuff. She needs some repairs done on the house. He of course is all too happy to help. Some lovey dovey song plays in the background.

Later Saintly is working in his shop, Camila stops by to pay. He doesn’t want it, but she says he has to accept payment or she will feel very uncomfortable. I agree. He says they are friends and he wants to be able to help her. The porno twins look on confusedly. She says if he doesn’t take the money she won’t ask him for help again. He still says no. She says take it, she has money. He says how funny, if she stayed and married him, she wouldn’t have all that money. She starts to say she’d give all the money back if…, then stops. She then says she’ll use the money to buy fabric for a new dress, Saintly says sounds like a good idea. He then inappropriately watches her walk away longer than he should.

Rita rants and raves to Justo about Saintly spending time at Camila’s house, etc. Justo has nothing to say.

Later, Justo visits Camila and says thanks for her help the mill is almost fixed. He says he’ll repay her, but she says no way. He insists. I say whatever, just wait and see if he does. He changes the subject and asks if Santiago came to the house. She explains that he fixed some stuff. He explains that Rita is jealous. Camila goes on about how she felt when she came back, but she will never start anything up with Saintly again. She won’t stay locked up so that she won’t see him, they are going to be friends. She talks about her endless pain and how it’s still fresh. Thankfully, she doesn’t cry.

Ric and his crew arrive in San Fernando. He describes everything to Lis. They stop in front of the hotel and go in to get rooms. Mario looks around and immediately spots Camila and Ascanio across the square. He tells Ric that Camila is there, Ric doesn’t see the problem with that, but Mario explains that Ascanio is also there, as well as Jimena and the older of the kids. Ric tries to remain casual about it. Ric says if she recognizes him, he’ll say she is mistaken. What about Ascanio, he’ll know for sure who he is. Mario gets excited and says, are we going to kill him? Ric says no. They have a long discussion about what they will do that I did not understand at all. Ric starts to go up to his room, Mario says he’s going to the bar. Ric doesn’t like the idea but Mario says “to get any news I can about your aunt!” Ric agrees. Mario walks around outside looking extremely suspicious, mostly because he thinks he is doing a good job looking casual. Then, of course, the first thing he does is find a hooker.

At Camila’s house they discuss Claudio returning home. Ascanio is going to leave him somewhere close, then go see his mother and explain everything and see if it’s true that they were trying to kill him. If it’s safe he’ll tell them where Claudio is. Camila gives some money. Claudio says he’ll pay her back for what she paid for his freedom, she says whatever. They are going to leave in the morning. She says she’ll miss them and again somehow we are spared her crying. It’s almost as if she got as tired of her crying as we all have. All I can say is thank you writers for giving us a break.

Justo visits Saintly at the mill. He wants to talk. I’m sure about the same thing he told Camila.

Mario enjoys a post-coitus drink. He sees a guy drinking at a table and asks if he can join him, as he is new in town and doesn’t like drinking alone. He tells the guy he is looking for a woman and the guy says ah, to be young again. Mario starts spinning his tale, that his woman left him. The old guy says they’ll betray you every time. Well now we know why he is drinking alone, he is a bigot. Mario says his woman arrived with another, a young widow named Camila. The old guy says oh yeah her, we all thought she was dead after the horrible thing that happened, Mario says what thing? Thunder starts, a storm is coming. Old guy says it’s a long story. Mario says he’s not in a hurry, he’ll stay here until the storm passes.

Lis wants to know if they can go out, Fran says they have to see what Ric says. Knock knock, it’s Ric at the door. He is going out but wants to go alone. Fran says they want to go walk around. Ric says fine, but remember Camila is around and you might see her. Fran says she hopes so, so she can tell her off. Ric sighs and says not to do that, it will ruin everything. Lis asks if she can touch him to see what he looks like now. She feels him all over his face while Fran rolls her eyes. Ric leaves, Lis swoons and gets horny thinking about Ric. Fran impatiently asks, “are we going outside or what?”

Saintly, who has made sure to have his shirt hanging open for you ladies, tells Justo that he’s sorry to give the impression of impropriety. Justo wants to know what Santiago is feeling, and get to the point, Saintly manages to completely NOT get to the point as he recollects his whole relationship with Camila and his pain when she was missing. Justo says that Rita is suffering and Saintly says what am I supposed to do, turn around when I see her? Refuse her when she asks for help? Justo says no but doesn’t offer anything else. Saintly says he knows what he has to do and he’ll do it. Justo says the doesn’t sound good enough, so Saintly says what then, do I have to leave town? Disappear? He and Justo then just stare at each other with tears in their eyes.

I give this episode an A- for having almost no crying. How refreshing.

Wednesday – Ric meets Jorge. Ursula sees him and wants him.
