Caray, Caray!

We get the usual repeat of last night’s ending. I won’t rewarm the leftovers, they really were best fresh. I’d do them no justice, so I suggest you read the hilarious recap from Wed. if you missed it.

LuisFe is at Emilia’s and so is Azul. Their song begins to play. Azul’s glad to have a chance to talk to him, he apologizes for leaving the church, but he had to get out of there because it was so painful for him. She apologizes to him because it was never her intention to hurt him and that what she felt for him was real---it was what she felt at that moment. LF says that seeing Diego changed all of that. He knew it could happen, that she’d get her memory back and he’d end up with the short end of the stick, but he was willing to risk it. LF is ever the gentleman and says that as long as he knows that Azul will be happy, then that’s enough. He can live with their memories. They both blather on about how neither one is to blame and that they are both sorry. Then Azul says something that bugged me and I had to watch it a couple of times to make sure I got it right….she tells LF that if she knew him before then he would have been the love of her life. This just seemed so odd to me, did it strike any one else as odd? Anyway they hug and Diego walks in at this moment and we cut to commercial.

Mario tells Emilia that she should rest. That nothing is more important than her baby. She tries to explain why she felt the need to get to the church---Silvana needed her. I say Silvana isn’t worth it, especially not at the expense of the health and well-being of your child, but you know that Emilia-- she’s ever the caretaker.

Diego wants to talk to LuisFe. He doesn’t punch him (as I actually expected him to do) he wants to thank him for being there for Azul, for helping her when she was lost and alone. (I daresay, there is some growth in the eleventh hour for our Diego) LF gives Diego the same line about seeing Azul happy is enough for him and as long as Diego will make her happy that’s all he needs, blah, blah. The best part of LF’s whole schpeil is that he tells Diego that the baby is his. Diego is obviously impactado. It is what he and Azul hoped for and he hugs his wife, overcome with emotion.

Silvana is sitting on a bridge overlooking a busy road. She contemplates jumping. I’m at home encouraging her to take the jump. She didn’t hear me. She has a little conversation with herself (she is crazy, after all). “Don’t be stupid, you can go and get back everything that is lost to you”. We don’t get to see her splattered on the highway in her wedding gown, darn.

Diego tells LuisFe that he would like to be friends, but realizes that under the given circumstances that would really be hard. LF agrees and says that all he wants is to get away from here. Thanks are offered again from both Diego and Azul. LF wishes all three (Diego-Azul-baby) happiness. Alfredo walks in, offers his thanks and tells LF that he’s a great doctor.

After commercial, Diego and Azul are now home. They both apologize and ask for forgiveness for messing around with Silvana and LuisFe respectively. They agree to forgive and forget---they intend to start anew. Azul says that Diego is the only love of her life (what about the earlier comment to LF?). Diego tells her that she is his life and will always be his. He slips her wedding band on her finger, which despite her being pregnant and most likely puffy, slides on easily and still fits. Oh the marvels of television.

The next morning Chonita fawns over Azul and express her true happiness at having Azul back home (IMHO she’s just happy to be rid of Silvana, who treated her so poorly). Diego and Azul decide they need to go pick up Caty and head to the chapel to pray. Our next scene is them praying in the chapel at the orphanage. Caty is in the middle and they all join hands. Azul asks about Frijolito, and they all go to see him.

Frijolito is so happy to see Azul. They hug and she says something about him figuring out who she was. He spills the beans (no pun intended) about what really happened---how evil Silvana was and how Manuel was involved. Diego says that Manuel is his father and Frijolito is surprised that such a nice guy as Diego would have such a cad as a father. Diego and Azul agree that they need to help Frijolito get out of juvie (which actually looks like he’s still at the orphanage, but I just figured they were trying to save on their set budget—why build a new set for the last few days of the show).

Silvana is eating breakfast in the hotel when Manuel finds her. He shows her a copy of one of the papers giving all the details of the wedding. She blames him. He blames her mother. She has some other choice words to say to Manuel and tells him that his cash cow is gone forever. She can’t spare him any change because she’s going to have to watch her money really carefully because her career is sure to be over. He says, not necessarily, there are plenty of celebrities who create scandals just to keep their name in the press (Britney Spears come to mind?). Silvana could use this whole thing to her advantage. The waiter comes over at this point, and gives Silvana some attitude and makes reference to the wedding that wasn’t. She plays the diva and gives him major attitude right back. The manager comes over and tells Silvana that she is no longer wanted as a guest at their hotel and she needs to vacate the premises immediately. Silvana continues the diva mode and says she’s sooooo out of there. Manuel, afraid that he’ll be stuck with the bill makes a hasty exit right behind her.

Diego tells Frijolito that they will make sure to teach Silvana and Manuel a lesson. Frijo it going to the police station to denounce Silvana and Manuel. The two will be charged with calumnia (slander).

Diego calls his mom and fills her in on what they found out from Frijo. Clemi makes a comment about how low Manuel has sunken, but she wouldn’t have thought he’d sink so low as to harm an orphan. Speaking of el rey de roma, the phone call is cut short when Clemi bumps into Manuel and Silvana. Come to find out, Clemi’s come to the hotel to find Silvana as a favor to Emilia. Clemi tells Silvana that Emilia is concerned and wants to make sure that Silvana gets help. Silvana says there is no need, she’s not crazy and doesn’t need any psychobabble from anyone. Clemi tells Silvana that the person in front of her is so drastically different from the nice woman she met how many ever months ago. She urges Silvana to change her ways and to get help. Then Clemi tells Manuel that he’s hopeless, he’s always been cinico and tramposo (cynical and deceitful/ a cheat). She then tells Silvana and Manuel that Frijolito intends to denounce them. Silvana says that his accusations are absurd. Just then Bruno shows up and overhears. He says that he’s also going to testify against the two of them.

LuisFe has flashbacks to his romp in the waterfall with Azulcena. His mother can tell he’s thinking of her and tries to comfort him. He’ll find another girl to love someday.

At the boutique, Gaspar is reading the recount of the wedding that wasn’t to Chucho, Gloria, Julio and Arnie. Gloria says she’s worried about her daughter and that she hopes she’ll be able to make peace with her. Julio says he hopes that Silvana sees the evil of her ways and repents.

Caty asks Azul and Diego if Frijo can come to live with them. Teasing Caty a little, Diego acts like the idea never even crossed his mind. Azul and Caty use their combined female charms to win him over, but they weren’t necessary because Diego was into the idea from the get go---and we, the viewing, audience has known for weeks that our little bean hero will get the happy ending and be adopted into the loving central family, so the pieces are falling into place. Diego and Azul tell Caty that it isn’t easy to adopt, there are many things that they will need to do and get approved. So they make her promise to keep it a secret, not say a word to Frijolito, as they get all the details worked out with the officials.

Frijolito gets his freedom and the judge has declared him to be innocent of the crimes he was accused. We find out his name is really Roberto Sanchez, but he’ll always be Frijolito to us. Anyway, he says that he really doesn’t want to accuse Silvana and Manuel of slander, he just wants them to apologize for what they’ve done.

Manuel and Silvana have been summoned to the orphanage. The diabolical duo meets with Frijolito’s lawyer. He tells them of Frijo’s wish for an apology. Silvana acts all indignant and says absolutely not. Manuel hops on her bandwagon and says apologizing would be humiliating. The lawyer says, well I guess you can leave….you know the way out and soon you’ll know the inside of jail.

Clemi and Anibal discuss the latest happenings. Clemi’s upset to think that she was ever married to a person like Manuel. Anibal reminds her that she wouldn’t have her children, her pride and joy, if not for Manuel. (My mother says that often to my sister about her ex-husband. My sister’s flip comeback is that yes, her children are awesome but she can only wonder how much greater they would have been if she would have selected higher up in the gene pool. It makes me laugh every time she says it, and I actually like my ex-bro-in-law). OK, back to the show, Clemi says, yep Diego and Lidia are the 2 best things Manuel ever did (and if you think about it, his part in the whole deal could be summed up in a matter of seconds---I could have said minutes but I’m going out on a limb here and say that Manuel isn’t probably the most giving lover---more like the wham-bam-thank you ma’am type).

MS meets with LF. He’s leaving his position as the orphanage doctor. They say their goodbyes. Mario, I guess, will be taking LF’s place. Is there really a need for an OB-GYN at an orphanage? As LuisFe is leaving the orphanage, he sees the Moran family arrive. Diego acknowledges LF and Azul gives a wave. The three of them look so cute together, it’s got to be a dagger in LF’s heart.

MS takes Manuel and Silvana to see Frijolito. Apparently they’ve agreed to offer up the apology. Silvana tries to use her smarm on the MS, telling her that Frijo is wrong, but finally MS’s bulls**t meter is working and she doesn’t fall for it. They enter the room where Frijolito is waiting, along with everyone else……END OF EPISODE
