Caray, Caray!

I apologize in advance for a less detailed than usual recap, but I procrastinated and now I want to get downstairs and watch the Super Bowl, I’m recording it and it must already be halftime by now.

Jorge tells Marcelino to tell the Dariens that they have lost the rights to the mill and store, he wants to put the family in ruin.

Mario has Vasco tied to some machinery in the mill, he is torturing him to find out more about the ED card and Bernabe, etc. Vasco swears that Bernabe acted on his own. Ric arrives and asks questions, Vasco cries and says he’s sorry. Ric tells him to find Bernabe and say nothing to Camila about the card actually still existing. Ric and Mario leave and Jeremias sets Vasco free.

Mario makes some crack to Ric about him being whipped and Ric yells at him. Mario tells him he has changed and rides ahead. They arrive at a shack and find a servant, who tells them that the boss of the hacienda was killed. They found him in the road dead. He claims to know nothing about any cart. Mario and Ric know that he knows nothing because he has been TOLD to know nothing.

Back at Ric’s house Fran tells Lis that Ric left early, who knows where. Lis wants to invite Camila to the house for dinner. Fran is up in arms with Lis these days.

Some peasants walk down the street with a body to bury, must be the boss that was killed. Ric and crew stop to let them pass. Ric makes the sign of the cross, the other pirates just watch.

Ric and crew arrive at a busy plantation/hacienda or something, the boss knows nothing, nobody is allowed to sell things without his permission and nothing of the sort happened. That’s his story. Ric realizes that nobody is going to say anything. They cross back where the burial is taking place, Ric stops to talk to the widow. She says her husband was delivered to her dead by some servants of Alberto. She doesn’t know how he was killed.

Camila and Jimena leave home to go work at the store. Camila still looks way hotter with her natural hair. We see Fortunata in the square getting some gossip.

Ursula talks to Sofia and tells her she isn’t happy. She opens up and explains how lonely she is, there isn’t anyone around for her to be friends with, her first marriage was awful, she feels so alone and sad. Sofia ends up promising to take a trip with her to the capitol. Fortunata runs in with the news of what happened to Justo and Sofia is muy impactada.

Fran and Lis show up at Camila’s house and find out that Camila is working at her father’s store. The servant tells them that Justo is dying. I guess Cleo wasn’t the only chismosa working there.

Mario says that they need to hold Alberto down, start cutting him up, bit by bit, until he tells where Ric’s money is. Ric says “Cierto.” Mario is VERY pleased with this answer, as opposed to Ric’s usual “well uh let me check with Camila first.”

Fran and Lis have lunch outside, Lis comes up with another fantastical situation that can bring her and Ric together. Something about him getting married with the wrong name, and if she makes friends with Camila Ric will see how nice she is. Something like that. Lis wants to go to Ofelia’s to check up on Justo. Just then Santiago shows up and offers to escort them to Ofelia’s. Fran breaks off a couple of awesome eye roll/sighs here. Santiago offers his arm to Lis and they walk on.

Sofia is at Ofelia’s with Fortunata. Ofelia and GRita give Sofia the lowdown, then Ofelia takes Sofia in to see Justo. GRita offers Fortunata a snack, Fortunata says sure and orders enough food for a meal. GRita looks at her like “damn, how much do you eat for a MEAL?”

Sofia goes in to see Justo, the camera work makes it look like when long lost lovers reunite, and I’m still convinced that this is the case. Justo tries to talk to Sofia but isn’t able to very well, of course. Sofia sits and talks with him and promises to take over the wedding planning. She tells him that he better not leave her all alone. Oh yeah, these two are in looooove. There is some crying, as would be expected. As much as Sofia is crying, Justo is smiling, he is more happy to see Sofia than he was at any of his other visitors.

Out at the table, Fortunata is horking down a tableful of food. Fortunata talks about the upcoming weddings and GRita of course has to make some crack about Camila, which gets a dirt look from Ofelia. THEN – Santiago shows up with Lis on his arm, you can imagine the look on GRita’s face. Sofia comes out and is ready to go, dragging Fortunata away from her food. She tells Santiago “come see me, we need to talk.”

Ric and crew arrive home, Manuela is there looking for Lis. She looks uncomfortable talking to Ric as he pries information from her about Alberto, not getting much more than that he is on a trip. A servant tells them that Lis isn’t home, so Manuela beats a hasty retreat. Ric, for some reason, acts creepy and won’t let her leave for a few seconds, then gets out of her way. I guess he wants any reports back to Alberto to be that he seems dangerous.

Fran and Lis leave, Santiago is very nice to them so of course GRita is grouchy. He offers to walk them home, they decline and GRita STARES at Santiago. Lis asks Santiago to let Camila know that she is invited to Lis’s house for dinner, GRita says “I’ll tell her.” Then they get in the same old fight, this time she’s jealous of Camila AND Lis. Santiago tells her that she is truly, truly crazy.

Lis and Fran run into Manuela on the street, Manuela delivers news that Ric is home and delivers a letter to Lis from Alberto. Lis demands that Fran read her the card right away, yes here in the middle of the street. We see Alberto writing the letter as it is read, rather than Fran’s voice. It is like a teenage love note, “I’m going on a trip, but I wanted to say goodbye to you first, I’ll miss you and hope to see you when I get back.” He laughs as he writes it, I’m not sure if he thinks it is funny or if he’s embarrassed to be writing such sappy crap. He finishes by saying he wants to get to know her better. Lis of course says “no I won’t marry anyone but Ric!” Fran rolls her eyes again and Lis spins some more fantasies about how she and Ric will end up together. Fran tells her to get with Alberto since he is powerful and can help them. Fran calls Lis stupid and they go home.

Ric and Mario try to figure out where La Font might have gone. They figure that Foreman has purchased gold that has been stolen from the caravans. They want to figure out how to see what’s up with the whole thing and prove it to clear Ric’s name. Ric asks Mario if he is with him, Mario says he has to think about it. Then he smiles and says of course, to the death. Lis and Fran see Mario in the hall, he says Ric is in the room. Fran and Lis agree that they hate Mario. Lis talks to Ric, Ric says Camila probably won’t come to dinner with all that happened to Justo. She wants to know where Ric went, Ric finally tells her the truth about his money getting stolen. Does Camila know? Yes. And she doesn’t care? She cares, but it doesn’t change their relationship. Ric turns the tables and asks if Manuela gave Lis the card she had for her, Lis says “what? Oh uh yeah she gave it to me, whatever.” Ric asks if La Font is after her, she says no. Ric knows better.

Ofelia brings Santiago a drink. He glugs it down thirstily. He tells her that the porno twins are out on a job and Ascanio is helping at the store. He confides in her that GRita is driving him nuts. She makes excuses for her but Santiago says no, it’s not her being pregnant or normally jealous, she is off the deep end. She changes the subject and asks if he is going to see Sofia. He says yes, why? She plays innocent and says she’s just worried about him running into Jorge. He says she must just want to talk about the Vasco/Ines wedding. Ofelia says that Ines still wants to marry Vasco even after the ED card fiasco, she loves him.

Jorge enters the store and sees Jimena up on a ladder with a lot of leg exposed. He checks her out (I agree with him here, nice leg) and she finally notices him. He wants to know where Camila is, she’s in the back with Ascanio doing some work. We see her in the back room trying to explain some stuff to Ascanio. Jorge enters and is surprised that Ascanio knows how to read and write, how nice. Jorge wants to talk to Camila, Ascanio leaves and Jorge tells her that she sure has a lot of guys looking out for her! Yes, she looks way better with her regular hair. Now I remember why she was hottie lawyer on Duelo and not ‘bad wig’ lawyer. Much better. Jorge wants to talk to her about Justo.

Outside, Ascanio and Jimena fret about Jorge and Camila being left alone, but there was nothing Ascanio could have done.

Jorge says he has unfinished business with Vasco about Ursula and Justo is old. He also has a lot of doubts about Ricardo and Ric refuses to show him proper deference and respect. Jorge says Ric claims to be a businessman, but he thinks he must be a thief or pirate. Camila angrily denies it but Jorge tells her to shut up. He says that Justo isn’t going to work out for him any more, he’s giving the business to someone else. Camila is upset of course, Jorge says it’s just business. She says it’s because of the earthquake, not poor business. Jorge doesn’t care. But…. He might be convinced differently if he gets the proper attention….

Monday – Santiago must have run into Jorge at the palace after all, the guards arrive at the forge to arrest him. Also, Camila begs Ric not to do anything rash against Jorge, Ric says that the only way to stop some men is to kill them.
