Pasion - Feb. 26, 2008 - cover-ups, sacrifices, and a future boat ride for Paco

EPISODE 54:
* Pablo tells Rico that Foreman and Hernan have arrived in town, and that he had a lengthy conversation with Alberto near the posada; and then he saw that Alberto and Lis got quite chummy as they walked back to Alberto's house. Rico isn't too happy with the news about Lis.

* In her bedroom, Manuela and Agata discuss what they saw between Alberto and Lis in the salon. Then they discuss Manuela's crush on Ascanio. Manuela says he's as kind and polite as Santo and Rico. Agata reminds her that her dad will never permit her to marry him, so she needs to get him out of her mind. Manuela pouts.

* Lis returns to her room, with good news. Fran scolds her for leaving without notice like that. Lis tells her she went to see Alberto and he has to medical letter. Fran quickly closes the doors and they discuss how Alberto will take the letter to the jurisdictional judge of San Fernando, Don Eustaquio de la Oca, directly, and that Lis is sure that he is sincere in his feelings towards her. Fran is happy to hear that and wishes for Lis and Alberto to get married. Fran continues with her thought and starts to insults Lis with the notions of Alberto's age and her disability. Lis is furious and asserts her rights to decide what she herself will and won't do.

* Rico talks in the bedroom with Cami, about Foreman's deal with Jorge and Alberto and they are almost certain that they are involved with the caravan assaults. Cami is pleased and thinks they should turn them in so Don Gaspar can get him his full pardon. Rico says they can't, they don't have proof, and Jorge's so powerful he doubts if anyone will testify against him. They discuss - Rico thought bubbles that maybe Lis can help them. Cami glares, like she isn't so sure about that.

* Jorge and Alberto discuss Foreman's arrival in town, how to handle business discussions with him and whether to schedule a meeting. Alberto then asks about Gonzalo. Jorge comments.

* Rico and Cami discuss his meeting with Foreman. She's nervous; he tells her to trust him. He kisses her and leaves.

* Out in the yard, Rico sees Mario and Guerrero return. Mario reports in that they got to the house too late. Mario says that they found Bernie dead inside Eusebia's house - he talked with Eusebia and her little girl - from the description, Rico supposes the man is an official from San Fernando; Mario thinks it is Alberto who killed Bernie and took the letter. Rico and Mario ponder who could've told Alberto about the letter - Ascanio, Vasco, Jimena, who else? Mario warns Rico to be very careful with Foreman, due to his business deals with Jorge and Alberto. Rico tells Mario not to say a word about the medical letter to Cami. Rico mounts his horse and rides away. Mario squats and thinks.

* Rico dismounts and walks fast to the hotel.

* In the lobby, Rico stops by the front desk. The desk clerk greets Rico Lopez de Carvajal - Rico asks which room is John Lancaster in? Desk clerk replies.

* Foreman sits at the table filled with food. Secret pirate knock on the door. Foreman preps his rifle. Secret pirate knock again. Foreman calls out, who is it? Rico answers, Antillano. Foreman puts down his rifle and lets Antillano inside. Rico asks Foreman about how long he's known Alberto? Foreman says hardly. Rico asks what they talked about when he arrived the other day, was it about him? Foreman explains the discussion briefly, and said he met Lis. They sit down and Foreman mentions meeting Mario on the road to town - Mario mentioned his marriage and he is intrigued to meet Rico's wife. Rico is uncomfortable and changes the subject back to talking business. Foreman asks to have dinner and meet his wife. Rico ignores the suggestion. Foreman asks about Rico's identity in town - Rico explains that he is a successful merchant businessman and goes by the name Ricardo Lopez de Carvajal. Foreman says they can continue this farce by saying that they know each other through shipping business in Cartagena, Columbia. Rico asks what business he has had with Alberto and Jorge. Foreman asks him to describe what type of man Don Jorge is. Rico gives a basic description. Foreman is intrigued.

* Alberto walks across the plaza and into the hotel.

* Foreman continues to talk with Rico about his wedding to Cami. Rico is uncomfortable and wishes they would stick to discussing business (nothing personal please). Foreman brings up meeting her - Rico says when do you want to come over? Foreman says how about dinner. Rico agrees. Knock at the door. Rico and Foreman are stunned. Foreman calls out, who is it? Alberto says his name through the door. Foreman opens the door and lets him inside. Alberto stares right at Rico - they greet each other. Foreman says you two know each other already - Alberto explains, small town, everyone knows everyone else here. Foreman explains that he and Rico know each other through business dealings in Cartagena. Rico leaves. Foreman tells Alberto that Rico just invited him over to his hacienda for dinner and to meet his wife. Alberto says he also came to invite Foreman to the palace for dinner to meet Don Jorge.

* Rico finds Mario on the street - they discuss privately about his meeting with Foreman, as well as their mounting suspicions about Jorge and Alberto. They watch Alberto and Foreman walk inside the mansion. Rico and Mario walk down the street, Mario tells him that Cami and Jimena went over to her father's place; Rico tells Mario to go talk with Ascanio, he'll go find Vasco.

* Inside the mansion entry hall, Foreman admires the decor. He and Alberto discuss Rico, - Alberto wonders if Rico is really who he says he is - Foreman changes the subject really subtly and starts mentioning Cami, Rico's wife; Alberto then mentions how they may be all gentlemen there but there is always a need to take precautions - Foreman is curious, what precautions are you talking about? Alberto explains. Jorge comes downstairs and joins Alberto, who introduces him to Foreman. They go into the salon to talk. Jorge and Foreman discuss whether he's encountered any problems since he's british in a spanish country; as well as the peace treaty between England and Spain. Jorge tells a butler to get some wine for them.

* Mario walks with Ascanio to the blacksmith shop. They discuss how Mario found Bernie dead and didn't find the letter in his belongings. Who else knew that Bernie had the letter? Ascanio doesn't know. Mario asks Ascanio for his help with spying on Alberto and Jorge. Ascanio is offended and reminds him that he only agreed to help keep the secret of Rico's identity because of Cami - no more no less. Ascanio leaves to return to work. Mario tosses a large green apple to a little boy nearby.

* As Ascanio attempts to get to work, Pancho and Crispin surround him and pressure him for information on Santo and what's going on? Ascanio adamantly refuses to tell them anything.

* Jorge, Foreman and Alberto have drinks in the salon. Jorge asks Foreman if he likes music - Foreman says yes, he does. Violinist starts to play. Jorge and Foreman start to discuss Foreman's travels - Jorge mentions one city - Foreman says too much pestilence there. He much prefers Florence (Firenze). Jorge agrees. Ursula comes downstairs. Jorge presents her to Foreman. Foreman is enchanted and greets her - Ursula and Foreman exchange flirtatious looks.

* Rico enters the yard and finds Vasco. He says he went to the mill to talk with him - Vasco said he came home to get some important papers. Rico tells him that Mario went to Eusebia's house - but Bernie was killed and the letter wasn't there. Vasco is stunned. Rico asks him if he knows who else could've known about Bernie and the letter. Vasco has to think - Rico wonders about Santo - Vasco says no, not him. Vasco remembers the chief of guards stopped by asking a bunch of questions, said he was there because of Bernie's mom, but Vasco suspects maybe Alberto and/or Jorge was also behind it. Paco runs over - Vasco says he has to get back to work now. Rico and Paco have a delightful uncle-nephew conversation - they go to the side of the garden and Paco shows off his garden plantings, Paco asks Rico if he can visit him at his home sometime. Rico says of course. Paco is excited. Cami spies on their conversation and approaches. Paco runs off to the house. Cami asks Rico about his meeting with Foreman. Rico smiles and replies.

* Cami and Rico join Justo, Paco, Ines and Jimena at the table. Paco tells Justo that Uncle Rico invited him to his hacienda. Justo acts surprised. Justo remembers their past conversation where Rico mentioned owning two boats - he would be enchanted to see them. Rico hesitates and then invites him on board, whenever he wants. Paco chimes in that he wants to see the boats also (botas grandotas).

* On the plaza, Alberto and Foreman discuss how much a part of their business deals is Jorge. Foreman mentions the caravan assaults and all the investigations going on surrounding them - wonders how much help there is to avoid the investigations. Alberto replies briefly. Foreman thanks him and goes into the hotel. Alberto glares in the door and then turns and returns to the mansion.

* In the office, Alberto discusses with Jorge how well Foreman and Rico covered up their stories. They may never get any proof if Rico is a pirate or not. Jorge thinks this is getting really dangerous. Alberto says he invited Foreman to dinner at the mansion tomorrow night. Jorge doesn't like that idea.

* In the raguan, Ursula talks with Sofia and Fortunata about Santo; then Ursula asks Sofia for a favor - to get dad to end her punishment/grounding. Sofia and Fortunata are rewinding up some yarn.

* Mario and Pablo are outside the hacienda talking. Rico, Cami and Jimena return home. Cami talks with Rico about inviting Sofia, Fortunata and Ursula to their wedding party. They see Mario and Pablo - Cami panics and asks Rico about Bernie and the letter - Rico doesn't really respond. Cami and Jimena go inside. Rico joins Mario and Pablo by the railing - Mario had no luck with Ascanio; Rico had the same with Vasco. Rico is frustrated, wonders if Lis said something. Pablo agrees with Rico. Rico wonders if Jorge or Lis now have the letter. Mario suggests that they break into Alberto's house and search for the letter.

* In the bedroom, Cami wonders about who to put on the invitation list for the party - Jimena sits on the bed and wonders about Cami and Rico sharing this bed together. Cami says stop that; she has many other things to worry about now. As Cami makes her list, Jimena asks if she will invite Ofelia? Cami thinks Ofelia may not be in the mood for a party.

* Lis and Fran are talking in the salon. Rico enters and interrupts. Lis is pleasant with her cousin. Rico asks her why she went over to Alberto's house? Lis says to visit Manuela. Rico doesn't buy that excuse - they used it yesterday as well. Fran pipes in that's their story, as well as Alberto is interested in courting Lis. Rico is growing frustrated and wants the truth - he thinks the story is only a pretext so that she can talk to Alberto about something else, perhaps tell him about the medical letter. Lis is impactado, and Fran is bothered by the insinuation. Rico warns them that if Alberto has the letter and uses it, Cami will be a servant again and in jail! Fran and Rico argue about family - Rico says that Cami is part of his family now too, she's his wife! Fran says not really! Fran spouts off about Rico's mom, the estate, Tim, his pirate past. Rico gets really angry and furious at Fran - he finally screams fine then, DOES ALBERTO HAVE THE LETTER OR NOT? Lis and Fran both continue to say they have no idea. Rico screams at them. Fran says "DON'T YOU DARE!" Rico fires back, "OF COURSE I WILL DARE! AND YOU SHOULD BE AFRAID! VERY, VERY AFRAID!" Rico storms out of the room. Lis cries, he hates us.

* Rico enters Lis and Fran's room. He takes the key from the shelf and opens up the chests.

* Rico finds Mario in the office. Rico tells him that Lis and Fran claim they didn't tell anything about the medical letter to Alberto. Rico tells Mario that tonight only he, Mario and Pablo will go search Alberto's house. Rico leaves.

* In the bedroom, Rico enters and Cami shows him the invitation list. Cami notes that Rico has something else on his mind. Rico tries not to tell her; she presses, after all they are married, right? Rico confesses that Foreman will be coming to dinner tomorrow night - Cami freaks out at the late notice. Rico tells Cami about Foreman. Rico and Cami discuss how he is almost sure that Jorge and Alberto were involved in the caravan assaults. Rico washes up and says he has to leave. Cami presses for information. Rico finally tells her that Mario found Bernie dead and there was no sign of the medical letter in his possession. Cami is impactado.

* Alberto and Mateo walk out on the dark streets. Mario, Pablo and Rico are hiding nearby. Guard takes a drunk to the city jail. Rico pops out of hiding and follows Alberto and Mateo to the saloon. Rico finds Mario and Pablo - they whisper their plan. Mario plays drunk and distracts the guard at Alberto's house. Mario hits him upside the head and he is out cold and on the ground. Rico tells Pablo to stand guard, make sure the man doesn't wake up and keep watch for Alberto. Rico and Mario enter the house.

* Alberto, Mateo, Uriel and the really drunk Gonzalo are sitting at a table. Gonzalo blubbers to Alberto - Alberto calmly talks to Gonzalo and passes along Jorge's apologizes. Alberto and Gonzalo discuss the caravan assaults - it is good they all stayed calm and didn't go through with it.

* Mario and Rico are in Alberto's bedroom, sifting through all his personal, private papers and chests. Mario and Rico don't find the medical letter anywhere.

* Alberto leaves Uriel, Mateo and the now passed-out drunk Gonzalo at the table. Mateo spouts off about where Alberto is going - home perhaps? Alberto tells him to shut up, it's none of his business. Alberto leaves. Uriel and Mateo talk. Pablo had been spying on the group - he leaves fast when he sees that Alberto is leaving.

* In the salon, Jimena and Cami debate the search for the letter and all of Rico's sacrifices for her sake. They are pessimistic about the letter turning up and dooming them all; Jimena wonders if Cami regrets buying the mill back for her dad now? Cami is really upset; Rico has sacrificed so much for her; she thinks that he may regret ever getting involved with her in the first place.

* Rico and Mario are still in the bedroom. Pablo whistles from outside. Rico realizes that Alberto is on his way back home.

* Pablo is outside - the guard is about to wake up and Pablo kicks him out unconscious again.

* Rico and Mario hide in the shadows in the bedroom as they hear keys jingling out in the hallway. Alberto walks down the hall and into the bedroom. Rico jumps from behind and knocks Alberto out cold and Alberto falls onto the bed. Mario is impressed, "calmadito tiburoncito, where'd you learn that move?" Rico replies, El Chino taught him. Rico search Alberto's pockets. They leave quickly.

Captn. JR. This is a great, detailled recap.

Can you just see Ursula and Foreman together? Now that would be two people who will be "platicando" in thin air. Foreman has turned out to be very interesting: long blonde wig, raspy voice, "English" accent and the mind of a master criminal.

And, Ric is not his fool. Ric has shown the strength of his character in the last few episodes, even if it means slitting a throat or two, arguing with his auntie and cousin and enduring the separation from Cami. Of course, sneaking into LaFont's house definitely takes guts. He is a driven man. He may be slowed down, but he will not be stopped.

The wedding reception will be a show stopper. There are so many potential villains that one is sure to rear his/her ugly head.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Thanks,JR, for that excellent recap. Lis just doesn't seem to want to accept some facts : 1] Ric is crazy in love with Camila [Beckster gave a great explanation in her recap for ''Guaypos''of the difference between Te amo [I love you forever ] and Te quiero [I love/want you at the moment] and 2]If she goes after Camila, Ric will never forgive her Tia Fran is e-vil. She will sell Lis down the river to that nasty , unscrupulous Alberto just to save herself. I hope that she is punished in the end...Fran, do you like pie ????
 

Man oh man oh man! I missed some GOOD stuff! Fell asleep on Monday's espisode & had class last night...bummer! Life in San Fernando is really getting interesting!

Lis & La Bouf...icky but they would make a nice pair. She would never see his ridiculous hair do & he could move the furniture around to torture her. Fran needs an anvil or a scorpion, not sure which. Whoresula & Foreskin...oops, Foreman...another nice pair of connivers who deserve each other.

Ric Ric Ric...te amo, te quiero. See you in the moonlight.

Thanks a MILLION for filling me in on what I missed. This one is moving quickly!

;-)
 

Good recap but when Paco took Ric to the side of the house it wasn't to show him his rock garden - it was to show him his watermelon plantings and was that a piece of the letter Cami wrote home asking for help sticking out of the ground? I believe it was and so it shouldn't be long now before the letter is found! Does anybody else hear anvils or is it just me?
 

Did anyone else notice some nice little bits of business Mario had - at one point, he's walking through the plaza and someone's running a shell game ... and Mario spoils the scam by lifting one of the shells. Then, later, he's walking through the plaza (with Ascanio, I think) and snags an apple from a passing vendor. He later tosses the apple to one of the children hanging around the blacksmith shop.
 

Wow, lot's is happening on this show. Thank you capitan j.r for keeping up with all the developments. A lot of this went over my head. Let's hope Paco continues to mine rocks or plant watermelons in the yard. That letter is bound to turn up.

At the risk of boring everyone silly, I think I have got the time frame narrowed down to post 1783. Two things:

The peace treaty referred to is most likely the Treaty of Versailles signed in September 1783 (at the same time as the treaty ending the [our] Revolutionary War). Spain made out like a bandit, regaining lots of territory in the Western Hemisphere, Britain took a bit of a beating in these negotiations. So, Foreman would have been at a distinct disadvantage as a British subject on Spanish soil.

And, (since I didn't tape it, so I can't check back) I believe the violinist was playing Caro mio ben, a very beautiful little ditty that all beginning voice students love to hate. This song may have been written in 1782 by Tommaso Giordano. Other (more reliable?) sources say it was written by Giuseppe Giordano in 1790. In any event, it would have been a recent "top 40" hit from Europe, signaling Jorge's sophistication. Sorry if this is too much info, but I do think Carla Estrada is a bit of an opera buff herself and she doesn't put this stuff in for nuthin. After all, we had Placido Domingo singing Alborada and Olivia Gorra as the zarzuela singer a few episodes back.

I am so loving this show and all the recaps/comments.
 

Yes, love MMM Mario...

Also, love little Paco...

Ric is showing the patience of a saint. I would've gotten rid of the wicked witches, Fran & Liz by now.

I hope Ric takes some of Buffy's money, it'll make the break in look more like it was just thieves. He should also take Liz's money as insurance for when the ED letter shows up.

Of course Cami panics. She wants the truth, but can't handle the truth...

Good stuff agnes in nj--thanks!!!
jb-Iron Jack Cash
 

Great historical research, Agnes. Thanks!
 

Going back go Monday's episode (I was uber busy @ work & wanted nothing to do w/ computers when I got home), 1st: kudos to Jimena for getting Rick & Cami back together. Everyone needs someone like her in their corner. 2nd: the bathtub scene w/ Foreman was a little creepy to me.

Now to Tuesday's episode: Man o man was Ric ticked off @ Auntie Fran! He's on to her game that is for sure! I'm just waiting for him to boot them out of his home.

Little Paco is adorable! He reminds me of one of my nephews.

Good for Ascanio for sticking to his guns and not getting any more involved in the ED card situation than he wants to be. I see another couple possibly getting together: Ascanio & Manuela. That would be such a good match cuz they are both good hearted people.

I like Ursula to get together with Foreman. They are both alike.

Le Buffy has got that ED card stashed away someone & will use it to get Lis. Once he has her where he wants her, he'll use it against Cami and Ric will have get her out of town...fast! Poor Tia Fran. She has no idea Le Buffy is using her & Lis. I figure they'll both find out the hard way.
 

I know this is a telenovela, but has anybody ever wonder why Camila would have to go back to servitude. She was a free woman abducted by pirates taken to another country/island then sold. Now she is back to her country/island. Why is she going back to be a servant? Isn’t she now protected by the laws of her homeland?
 

Ooops I meant to say Le Buffy has the card stashed away somewhere. My bad!
 

LaFont does not have the letter anymore he gave it to the Judge.
 

Great recap! This was such a good show!

Madd maggie marlow!!! You cracked me up about Ursula and Foreman!! They definitely have the hots for each other!

I only wish that since La Poof didn't seem to have the letter on him why Ric just didn't kill him then and there!

Ric is one angry dude right now! watch out , Liz and Fran......
 

In re Sue's question - my understanding is that if Camila's marriage (to Timoteo) is rules invalid, then the will is invalid and everything goes to Lisabeta. EITHER her manumission would be invalid and she'd be returned to sevitude OR she'd be held responsible for repaying the money, which she's spent - which would lead to her being sold into servitude to partially repay that money.

Melinama: If you're out there - the sidebar is missing again after you click on Pasion on the first sidebar - there is no second side bar, just comments.
 

I think it's about time for Cami's boat trip with Paco and Pop, to that all-knowing (as in EVerbody knows where it is) island retreat La Iguana.
Hoping the fort is nearly complete cause Lis and Tia WILL want to retrieve their slave.
 

Thank you Agnes in NJ, I love your contributions, don't apologize. That voice in Alborada is what caused me to pause and watch my first telenovela. And I SO APPRECIATE the multifaceted work of Estrada. Its like finding gold nuggets in a water pond.

Was Ri-car-do looking for the letter in Lis's trunk?
 

I also appreciate the historical stuff.

He must have been looking for the letter in that trunk.

We never saw Lafont actually deliver the letter to the judge, correct? So we don't know for sure where it is right now?
 

Wow. What an exciting show. Loved Ric putting fear into Fran and Lis. They keep pushing him and he will shut them out of his life for good family or no family. Lis just doesn't get that Ric is deeply in love with Camila. This isn't just some phase he's going through. Now Camila sees that buying the mill back for her father wasn't a good idea and she should've listened to everyone telling her not to do it. Ric is certainly on a mission to help Camila because if he doesn't find that ED letter Camila, Jimena, Ascanio and even Claudio will all be slaves again. Loved seeing him knock LaFont out. What a rollercoaster ride and we're in for more bumps in the road I'm sure.
 

Anonymous 8:49--yes, I noticed Mario's bits of business. The shell game cracked me up--you can't fool Mario! He was so good playing the drunk, too.
Thanks for the recap and all the illuminating comments. So happy to see Ric put some fear into Lisa and Tia Fran.
La Paloma
 

Me three, to his interactions with the shell game and snitching the apple and then passing it on to the kid :)
The head clunk also served to remind me that MMM is a urr.rrr.rugged rough rock. Jimena will need a strong hand to handle him. But she is up to the challenge.
 

Me four. I am always checkin' out Mario's business. ;-)
 

Me five~~~~Mario has way about him. This guy knows how to make a character come alive. I like him; I love him ; I want some more of him...but...Ric is my telenovio .
 

I don't find a conflict in my heart to love and adore Mario and his smart antics and his passion for the wonderful Jemena which he tries to hide but seeps out of him in spite of himself. I find that there is ample room in my heart for Ricardo as my truest and deepest love. I find that I have room in my heart to be amused and turned on by John Lancaster, naturalist or Foreman corsair. I like the side of Ursula that has fun and enjoys life and think the heat is only going to go up between her and JLForeman. I also have room in my heart for the actor Juan Ferrar who plays Jorge. I've looked at photos on Google and elsewhere lately, he is very handsome with deeply twinkly eyes. Oh how happy I am to have a big heart that can grow and love more and more....like Ascanio, he's wonderful. I know there are more, I'm just feeling the love today!
 

There certainly was alot of chemistry between Foreman and Urusla!! I thought it was interesting that when Jorge asked Foreman whether he lived in England, he said he didn't because of the humidity and pestilence; that he preferred other places in Europe. But I am completely lost...doesn't LaFont know who Foreman actually is? If so, why doesn't Jorge? Or is it that they've done"business" with Foreman, but have never seen him, and he is checking them out? Anyway, I am confused.

Somehow I also remember LaFont having the ED letter on his person. Why would he hand it over to anyone BEFORE Liz agreed to marry him, if at all?

I am also wondering why Foreman is so interested in meeting Camila. Is it because he can't believe Antillano would fall in love and marry and wants to see who would capture his heart? Or is there something more?

Ascanio is really the moral center of this telenovela. He is really the "saintly" one. And I do hope he's rewarded with Manuela, whose dimples match his.
 

Thanks for the recap!

Me six...regarding Mario. His character has a great way of making the most out of a scene. Even if he is not saying anything, he says a ton!

Did anyone also notice the little wavey wave Jimena gave him and he googly smiled back at her when she, Cami and Ric got back to Ric's digs? This relationship is so much fun to watch develop!

As much as I truly do love Fernando Colunga and love to see scenes with he and Susanna, I'm starting to almost look more forward to the scenes that have Jimena and Mario in them. There just seems to be more relationship development with those two.

This is so much fun to watch!

"doesn't LaFont know who Foreman actually is? If so, why doesn't Jorge? Or is it that they've done"business" with Foreman, but have never seen him, and he is checking them out? Anyway, I am confused.
To clarify:
LaFont and Jorge both know who Foreman is. LaFont told Foreman that Jorge was not aware of their caravan heists or the buying of the money chests by Foreman. Jorge knows LaFont is covering for him with Foreman and they agreed that Jorge would play dumb with the pirate when introduced to him as Sir John Lancaster, scientist. After the lunch meeting at the palace Foreman told LaFont essentially that he doesn't believe Jorge isn't involved with the heists at some level since LaFont, as longtime friend and right-hand mand to the Lord Governor, that he had had some sort of protection from investigation by now was a forgone conclusion. He pretty much threatened LaFont to make sure that Jorge would assure the pirate had free rein in the region for whatever was to come or else. LaFont made Jorge aware of that tidbit and said the pirate was nobody to trifle with and was nobody's fool. LaFont offered Jorge then to find out from Foreman if Ric was really de Salamanca or not. If he was not de Salamanca Buffy wanted to slit Ric's throat and be done with him for good. Jorge said no, even if he is de Salamanca it is better just to leave well enough alone. Jorge must at some level be remembering that "both Ric's" are the prelate's proteges/godsons and he doesn't need that kind of heat brought down on him as Lord Governor with investigations from the Spanish Crown, etc. Who knows where that might lead and then their game is really up.
 

Jardinera, you amaze me. You have such a clear and firm understanding of the byzantine pirate relationships, who's top dog, who's got the goods on who, etc.etc. Thank you for your patient explanations.

and Capt. Bonney. The exact same thing happened to me. One day, I was channel surfing beyond my customary purview and I heard a voice accompanying lush scenes that could have been torn from the cover of a bodice ripping harlequin romance. It was the real deal, not some whiney, breathy pop crooner. I remember thinking, "who is this tenor, Pav, Domingo, Carreras?" So I went along for the ride. It was Placido Domingo that got me watching my first telenovela. Unfortunately, the show was half way through by then, so I am now watching it from the beginning courtesy of Netflix.
 

The question remains if the letter is only a smidge left, it might not say what is important on that smidge. Also, if Ric is angry enough this would be a great time to force his aunt to admit it was bribed from that doctor and thus falsified. He could force her to admit it by threatening to report her part in Timothy's murder of the hooker that Ric was blamed for and to be sent to jail and no longer to be under his protection from Don Gaspar's authority. " After the things I've done in this life to now. Be afraid. Be very afraid."
 

Wowweee-Zowweeee, sportsfans!! Y'all finally got Ascanioooo shirtless!! Now that was a truly beautiful sight to behold.
 

jardinera, unfortunately, the smidge contains the vital data. I remember the scene where Vasco first discovers what he's got and he reads the text. It was incriminating indeed. Your speculation about exposing Tia Fran's vile complicity in suborning el doctor could be right on the mark. Ric has a lot to prove.
 

Jardinera: Thank you so much for the Foreman-LaFont-Jorge explanation, which you made very clear. You are amazing. I dont know how you keep all these facts in your head.

I realized after writing that Lafont couldn't have had the ED on his person, because after Ric knocked him out, he looked through his pockets.

Again thanks...
 

This novela rocks...and to think someone tried to convince us that it was a dog before it even started. You can feel the suspense building with every episode. I agree that Ascanio o o is the moral compass of the show....he is everyone's big brother. I am reminded of his similar role as Marcos, Luis's loyal bodyguard who was protector of all good folks and challenger of all evildoers, in Alborada. Jardinera, we're lucky to have you keep us on course. Rough seas ahead, mateys. The perfect storm is about to hit.
 

Jardinera, thank you so much. You are my compass:)
Ascanio, who I like very much, has sent up my alert system many times becase he doesn't committ. He will verbally pledge loyalty to Camilla but he consistently tells others I'm not on your side. He's been with these people long enough to care about their issues but he says he doesn't. He resists being considered "part of the family". That has me troubled about him.
