Caray, Caray!

LaFont discovers that his love letters with John Foreman are missing. (ok not love letters, that was a joke)

La Paisana explains to Foreman why Ric killed Lazaro. I have to say Ric just killing him instantly was awesome. No dragged out James Bond ten opportunities to escape BS, just “I’ve been looking for you to kill you, now I’m here, I’m going to kill you” and then he did. Anyway, Hernan says that Ric always had a soft heart, Foreman goes off on him that it isn’t about his heart at all, he had the right to kill him, because when your captain gives you an order, you OBEY. Blind loyalty has disappeared in this profession, Foreman says disgustedly.

Justo makes plans in his yard for the wedding party while Vasco watches. Ascanio arrives and tells Vasco what he found and didn’t find on his travels. Vasco tells him that Camila signed the document to buy the mill, but Ric has to sign it and he hopes he will refuse, saving Camila’s money. Ascanio thinks Ric will go along with his wife’s wishes. Justo sees Ascanio and yells out to him, Vasco says Justo doesn’t know anything about the mill yet.

Foreman asks La Paisana if Juancho is smart enough to be the boss of he land pirate gang, she says he has the brain of a fly. But – they have corrupted enough of the local law that they run around as they please. They seem to be going overboard and the locals are getting tired of them. If the crown investigates anything, it will surely lead to them. Foreman says they need someone smarter, what about her? She says she’s too old and tired. She wants to retire, and she says that Foreman should think about that too. After she leaves, Hernan says she’s right, Juancho is an idiot. Foreman suggests El Chino as a potential leader for the gang. Hernan says El Chino might be a little too good for these guys.

Camila is being really dumb and won’t accept the fact that GRita hates her, as Jimena is trying to convince her. Jimena is right and gives all the evidence of her jealousy, etc. Camila trusts everyone (including Jimena) when she shouldn’t. Her second chances have given Cleo an opportunity to cause trouble already. She needs to wise up. She hopes that Ric will be back in time for the wedding since they are supposed to be testigos.

Mario gets off his horse and whines about missing the sea. Ric agrees, but points out the bad parts of the sea too. Mario asks if the letters stolen from LaFont are proof enough, Ric says with those and if Pastor testifies to what he told Ric and Mario, then for sure they are proof enough, but he doesn’t think Pastor will go along, as he would be incriminating himself. Mario says the Spanish could torture it out of Pastor. Ric says sure, but maybe they can get to Foreman and skip all that.

Camila, Jimena, Fran, and Camila are all having tea together, I think Lis set it up and is trying to pretend to be nice. She wants to know what she can give Ines as a wedding gift. Camila doesn’t have any good ideas, she suggest asking Ines directly, Lis says no, she doesn’t really know her at all. Fran says they’ll think of something. Lis asks if Ric is going to the wedding, Camila says yes because they will be the witnesses. Lis gets all sour and fumbles for her cup, I guess now even the simple mention of ‘we’ that means Ric and Camila together sets her off. She and GRita need to leave and form their own little place, Jealous Island or something. They can sit and complain all day about how the men they are after are so confused, or whatever jealous women rant about.

LaFont walks to the palace.

Lis and Fran walk back to their room, appalled that Ric will be a wedding witness with a false name. ah, that must be what Lis was all shaky about. Maybe. My first theory still sounds about right. They discuss the usual things, again. Getting help from Alberto, which Lis seems to be warming too but not convinced just yet, and then on and on about Camila having Lis’s money. Fran says something about Ric going back out to sea to get more money by killing and robbing people, Lis gets upset and says he only did/does that stuff because of Fran and Tim framing him for that murder. Fran again claims innocence, Lis doesn’t believe her.

Sofia tells Manuela that Uriel wants to marry her, she isn’t very excited about it, Sofia understands that she really wants a real man, like they sing about in songs. Manuela asks if Sofia has had those thoughts too? Sofia says of course, she got married about Maneula’s age, and besides those guys don’t exist. Manuela says sure but there are nice guys. Sofia says if she means Ascanio then forget it. Manuela says of course not him, Sofia says of course YES him! But – Alberto would never allow it. Unless, Ascanio… changes. She asks Manuela if he is friends with Santiago, Manuela says yes he works with him, why? Sofia gets a real twinkle in her eye and says “oh just curious.” I guess Ascanio can be part of the ‘inner circle’ like Jorge put together with his loser friends.

LaFont fills in Jorge about the letters and that it puts them in a bit of trouble. He suspects Ric of the theft. Jorge is a bit slow, he hasn’t put it all together about Ric finding that cart and suspecting Alberto, even though they went and killed the witnesses and all that. They are a bit confused about what he was or wasn’t looking for or what he did or didn’t get into at LaFont’s house. They move on, Alberto tells of his visit with Don Gaspar. It appears that our Ric isn’t the pirate cousin, but get this – both Rics are godsons of Don Gaspar. Jorge says what a strange world we live in, laughing. Jorge then says that Gonzalo has gone from being a pain to being a real danger.

Later there is a party, Gonzalo is drunk and talking about robbing a caravan, the others tell him to be quiet. Gonzalo says that if anything happens to him because he is going against Jorge, there is someone who knows EVERYTHING and will get them all in big trouble. He won’t tell who that is. Then the hookers come out and everyone is distracted.

Jorge and LaFont continue to discuss the fact that Gonzalo is stupid and a danger, they might have to kill him. Then Jorge tells LaFont that Foreman sent that letter and is coming to San Fernando. LaFont is not pleased, Jorge is looking forward to it.

Santiago tells his mother again that he could pay for Ines’s wedding, Sofia shouldn’t do it. Get over it already. Ofelia wants to know how things are with GRita, he says the same. They hope she shapes up after having the baby. Santiago wants to know what’s up with Ofelia lately, she claims all sorts of stuff about the wedding, Vasco, etc. Santiago doesn’t believe her. He tells her that Camila bought the mill to give to her father. Still, he thinks Ofelia isn’t telling him everything and he presses her, she talks about what a good son and man he is. She doesn’t want him to change, he says he never would, no matter what she says. She stumbles around what she wants to say but won’t come out with it. She wants him to stay the same good man as always, no matter what. She says she has to finish the wedding dress and that’s his cue to leave.

Uriel and Marcel weave tell Alberto and Jorge about what Gonzalo said. I guess they weren’t at a party, they were just at the whorehouse. So I’m sure they smell great, and here Alberto and Jorge keep on eating right in front of them. I suppose the array of odors on people back then were more than we could ever imagine and to them it was normal. They all think that Gonzalo is full of it, but they still have to try and make sure. Jorge asks when the next caravan is coming, they don’t know, he wants to know exactly when. I’m not sure if they are going to attack it, or just to go and find and stop Gonzalo.

Ric and Mario arrive home late at night. Pablo reports on Camila’s business. One place was the palace, Mario wonders why but Ric says he knows why. Ric goes to his room, Camila is already there sleeping. He touches a kiss to her lips with his fingers, then leaves the room. He asks the servant to prepare him a bath, he doesn’t look very happy.

Alberto yells with a purple face at Nana that she had to see something about what the robbers looked like! She doesn’t have much to offer. Manuela asks if he suspects someone, he shuts her up with a dark look.

After his bath Ric goes back to his room. He walks around with no shirt for all you ladies. He gets into bed and wakes up Camila, the Disney song comes on so I guess they are going to have sex. She says she was having a dream with him, a good one. He says now he’s here for real. I guess a lot of you love these scenes, they make me want to fast forward. In the morning they eat breakfast and tell each other how good looking they are. She says they will be testigos for Vasco, he doesn’t seem thrilled. He asks why she went to the palace, she tells of the mill and buying it. He reminds her of the ED card. She is sure that Bernabe won’t go against her. Ric doesn’t like all this. She says if his father was alive, she would do the same. He says yes, but that’s him. She says women are different? He says not women, just that he has more ways to defend himself. He is upset that she disregards the ED card so quickly. She says she needs his signature. He asks if she wants him to sign it, she says yes, and he says yes. He says he needs to resume business though, to get enough money to cover what the ED card might take away. She reminds him that he was going to go straight, he says the fortune of his… uh from Tim was 2.8 million pesos, he can’t recover all that without pirating. She says well hopefully nothing will go wrong. He tells her about his conversation with Pastor. She doesn’t want him to return to pirating. He says he’ll do whatever to keep her out of debtor’s prison. They have to wait and see what happens with that stupid ED card. How come nobody is laying blame on Justo for not making sure it was burned all the way?

Sofia and family leave for the wedding, she tells Jorge that he should go too, to show that he doesn’t hold any hard feelings. He agrees and goes to change.

GRita is already complaining that the wedding better not take long, she’s more tired each day. And we are more tired of her each day! Santiago tries to be nice to her, he truly is a saint for putting up with this. She says whatever, they can’t stay until the end, she needs to rest. Ines comes outside all dressed up, she looks really pretty and they all tell her so. Ofelia gives Ines a present, a broach she was saving. GRita asks why she never showed it to anyone before, Santiago says they were saving it for a gift. GRita is immediately suspicious and asks a gift for who? Santiago deliberately tells her “ For my SISTER on her WEDDING DAY.” Man GRita pisses me off. She continues to look at Santiago like she doesn’t believe him. Santiago says he didn’t buy it, he found it, when he survived a shipwreck. We see a flashback of Santiago finding the broach on the beach with a long beard, then in the present he slips up and says he kept it as a present for Camila. GRita asks why didn’t he give it to her (GRita) then? He doesn’t answer.

Camila tells Ric not to sign if it means he’ll go back to pirating. He tells her he knows what he’s doing, but she says he could die at any moment. He says that could happen anywhere. Lis shows up looking for Ric, Camila leaves. He tells her she looks pretty, she says they are going to the wedding, oh and Santiago came twice to talk to Camila, didn’t she tell you? Obviously not.

The whole town comes out for the wedding. Manuela looks around, I’m sure for Ascanio. She and Alberto meet up with Sofia and family. Alberto sees Lis and comes right over. He compliments Lis, the ladies say they need to speak with him, later in his house. Manuela spots Ascanio finally and gives him a big smile. Santiago walks Ines down a red carpet, Ursula eyes him. Horrible bagpipes play. Everyone waves stalks of wheat. Ursula lusts after Santiago some more. Ines and Santiago arrive at the alter, with the priest, Vasco and Justo are there as well. The priest leads the way inside, Vasco tells Ines she looks pretty, like a doll.

Foreman tells Juancho to stop going into town and making trouble. Juancho says the guys need fun, Foreman says when he gives an order, that’s that. Juancho says a caravan is coming, are they going to attack it? Foreman says no, Juancho says he has gone soft like Ric. Foreman jumps all over him and looks like he’s going to slit his throat, but he just injures him. He tells him to get out in English and Spanish. He tells La Paisana something about keeping them in line until El Chino arrives. Foreman leaves, Juancho comes back in and yells at her, she punches him. He wants to make trouble, but she pulls her gun on him and tells him to get out.

The wedding is apparently over, the couple comes out and actually looks happy. Everyone else is too. Ric congratulates them. Alberto asks Jorge if he’s going to the reception, Jorge says no, he has done his duty already. Manuela eyes Ascanio, Ursula eyes Santiago, then congratulates Vasco and Ines. Mario and Ric discuss Fran and Lis talking to Alberto, they know something is up. Ursula says hi to Santiago, who says he hopes she comes to the party. She says yes of course. Vasco overhears and isn’t thrilled, of course. He ended up with a better woman, even if she isn’t rich. Justo greets Jorge, who immediately says he has nothing against Justo, he took the concessions for economic reason. Justo is forced to say he understands. He invites Jorge to the party, Jorge says he can’t. He wants to know if Camila told him the good news, that she bought the mill. He is happy, but can’t believe she did it. He says god bless her.

Manuela wants to go to the party, Alberto says no, it’s full of low class people. She says Sofia and Ursula are going, he says Sofia likes slumming and Ursula is a whore. Manuela is scandalized. I guess she’s not going to the party. Alberto rings the bell at his house to be let in, then he just sends Manuela inside and says he’ll be in later.

Everyone dances and has fun at the wedding, Vasco seems to have decided that this will be ok for him, he’s enjoying himself. Ursula sits between Santiago and Ofelia. Justo sits with his not girlfriend Sofia. GRita shoots Santiago dirty looks for talking to Ursula.

Monday: Sofia tells Jorge that Ursula has found a new toy, Santiago. Jorge says to just tell her she’s prohibited. Sofia says she has a better idea, go public with the news that Santiago is Jorge’s son! Also, Santiago is still in love with Camila and argues some more with GRita about it.
