Pasion March 25, 2008 Baptism of baby Ana Maria; Rico returns to town, pays off debt and plans to escape with Cami
* Rico climbs down into panga and directs Mario and crew to row towards shore.
* Justo speaks with Sofia in her private salon. Sofia is impactado to learn that Lis won't let Cami have visitors. Sofia leaves room calling for Consuelo.
* Rico and crew come ashore carrying the chests.
* Sofia forces her way past the guard at the door. Cleo opens the door - Sofia is aghast to see Cami on hands and knees scrubbing the pavers. Sofia picks Cami up and orders Cleo to get Lis for her. Cami hands Sofia her note for Justo. They hug and Sofia prays for Rico to return and everything to be resolved.
* Rico, Mario and crew on horseback with chests. Rico is anxious to return to town.
* Rico and crew meet up with Chino and crew on road. Chino asks if Rico met with men Paisana sent to Posada Iguana. Rico and crew came ashore at a different point. Chino tells Rico that Cami's family knows about Rico's true background and that Lis has Cami with her. Rico is impactado; Mario tries to talk him out of returning to town; Rico doesn't listen and gallops away - his crew follows.
* Sofia and Lis have strong discussion about Lis not permitting Cami to have family visits and Rico's reaction to Lis' decision about enslaving Cami. Lis will only sell Cami to Rico and that decision is final. Sofia warns Lis about Rico and leaves. Fran warns Lis about making an enemy of Sofia.
* Sofia is fretting and worried about Cami as she talks with Jorge at the mansion. Sofia hates that Lis won't sell Cami to anyone but Rico. Jorge argues for Sofia to stay out of this matter.
* Sofia goes to house and talks with Ines in the yard - Ines tells her that Justo and Santo are inside discussing how to pay off the debt because Cami doesn't want Rico to do it. Sofia can't believe it.
* In salon, Justo and Santo are discussing how to gather enough money to pay off Cami's debt - Justo thinks Jorge may be the one with enough money to help. Ines enters to tell Justo that Sofia is waiting outside.
* Outside in the lawnchairs, Sofia talks with Justo about letting Rico pay off the debt, he is her husband and is obligated to do it. Justo is torn. Sofia gives Justo the note from Cami. Justo reads it and everyone is excited to know that Lis has cancelled the debt. Sofia says read what the condition is. Justo reads and says there isn't anything more written. (Uh-Oh!)
* Rico is determined to return to town. In woods, Mario and Rico argue over why Rico shouldn't go into town - in case the authorities are pursuing him as a pirate. Rico is impatient and angry and barks at Mario to give suggestions.
* As they clean the patio, Cami finds out from Candida about Alberto and Lis' engagement as well as Uriel and Ursula's engagement. Cami is also upset about not attending her niece's baptism. Cleo comes out, interrupts and gets after both of them for gossiping on the job. Cami scolds Cleo and goes inside. Cleo scolds Candida and forbids her niece from talking with Cami anymore.
* In the storeroom, Cami cries and prays to G-d to understand why she is suffering from so much heartbreak.
* Uriel waits and talks with Jorge in the entry salon - first they discuss business; Mateo is away helping deal with the shipments. Uriel asks Jorge when they will formalize the engagement for him and Ursula. Jorge tells him about Rico and because of their business with the pirates, they need to keep a low profile right now. Uriel agrees. Sofia and Fortunata come downstairs. Ursula has a headache and won't be going with them to the baptism.
* At the church, Santo and Rita watch as Padre Don Agustin, and godparents Ofelia and Justo baptize little Ana Maria Marquez Darien.
* Outside the church, everyone congratulates Santo and Rita. Justo invites Jorge to the reception at the house. Jorge turns it down. Jorge congratulates Santo and asks him to come by the mansion after the reception to meet with him. Santo agrees.
* The whole family walks over to the house. Justo is talking with Sofia and Fortunata as they situate themselves around the table in the yard. Fortunata blabs about Ursula and Uriel's upcoming engagement.
* Jimena comes to the mill and asks Higinio where Ascanio is. Higinio says in the office. Jimena goes upstairs.
* In the office, Ascanio is hard at work sorting through the files of paperwork as Jimena enters to greet him. Both received invitations but declined to attend the baptism. Jimena is upset about the situation with Cami, Rico and Santo. Ascanio continues to sort through the files as he talks with her. She bugs him to take a break and walk into town. He agrees.
* In the woods, Rico agrees to wait there. Mario and crew will deliver the chests to the authorities. Rico commands them to leave now - he's impatient. They leave.
* Manuela visits Ursula in her bedroom. Manuela asks Ursula why she didn't attend baptism - Ursula wasn't interested, Manuela wasn't interested in attending either. Ursula chides Manuela over her secret love for Ascanio. Manuela is nervous and gets after her for it but Ursula doesn't stop right away. Ursula offers Manuela some cherries and asks her opinions about Lis - Ursula thinks she is a snake and a rat.
* Mario and crew arrive in the plaza and unload the chests from the horses.
* Mario and crew bring the chests into the chambers of Don Eustaquio. Mario explains the chests are the money Rico promised to pay off Cami's debts. Mario also explains why Rico didn't come himself. Don Eustaquio explains to Mario they never had been pursuing Rico for piracy, and how Cami is now in servitude to Lis. Lis is now living at Cami's old house, not Alberto's. Don Eustaquio is pleased that Rico returned and completed his promise. They discuss Lis' decisions and the effects of this on the Darien family.
* Ascanio and Jimena are on the plaza - Jimena gets a pastry snack. Manuela rushes passed. Ascanio tries to stop her to talk; Manuela excuses herself and continues on her way. Ascanio is really concerned and Jimena chides him about it, until she sees Mario walk out of the municipal building. Jimena runs and hugs him on the plaza. Jimena asks him where Rico is. Mario holds up his two fingers to keep her quiet.
* In the cafe, Ascanio tells Mario how he and Santo met Don Molinar Pastor and the real Don Ricardo Lopez de Carvajal and Santo's reactions to Don Ricardo's story. Ascanio says Santo won't report Rico to avoid disgrace to the family. Jimena adds that Cami had to make a deal with Santo to keep him from telling the authorities - she had to promise to separate permanently from Rico. Mario is worried.
* Mario goes back to the woods and tells Rico what he learned from Don Eustaquio, Jimena and Ascanio. Rico is furious, mounts his horse and gallops towards town. Mario and crew follow.
* Alberto is trying to hug Lis in the courtyard. He wants to have a huge party and announce their engagement to everyone in town. Lis only wants a small private reception. Alberto really wants to marry her soon. Lis makes excuses why they have to wait. Alberto is frustrated and acts like he understands. He brushes her hair back off her shoulders; she makes a really nervous, disgusted face as he kisses her neck. Alberto leaves. Lis calls for Cleo and asks her to get Cami for her. Cleo helps Lis inside the house.
* Rico stops, Mario gives him instructions of how to get to house. Rico, Mario and crew ride to town.
* In the salon, Lis orders Cami to convince Rico they have to separate. Cami says he's not stupid. Lis says to do whatever she has to convince him. Cami remembers her deal with Santo in the jail cell. Cami asks what's in it for Lis? Lis tells her that Alberto suspects Rico is Antillano.
* Rico and crew arrive outside the house. Rico barges into the courtyard and orders the nervous nilly Cleo to tell Lis he is there to speak with her. Cleo runs inside.
* Cleo finds Lis with Fran in the bedroom. Cleo tells Lis that Rico is outside waiting to see her. Lis is excited and says she'll see him in the salon. Cleo leaves. Fran seems curious and bewildered.
* Cleo escorts Rico to the salon.
* In the storeroom, Candida sneaks in and tells Cami that her husband is in the salon, he wants to speak with Lis. Cami is excited that he has returned. Candida has to leave so her aunt doesn't scold her again. Alone, Cami prays for strength and the words to convince Rico.
* Lis enters the salon and greets Rico. Rico asks Lis why she won't permit Justo or the family to visit Cami? Lis says it wasn't her idea, Alberto forced her to do it. He's cruel, he threatened to report Rico as Antillano, and abuses his daughter. She's scared of him. Lis turns on the crocodile tears and asks Rico to take her away from there. He asks to speak with Cami. She agrees and begs him not to leave her there. She lays her head on his shoulder. He doesn't really believe her but plays along anyway.
* In the storeroom, Rico and Cami have a tender reunion with hugs and kisses. He knows about Santo and the deal; he assures her all will be resolved and everything will be okay. Cami tells Rico the truth about Alberto, Lis and Santo. Cami also tells him about Lis and her canceling the debt. Rico tells her that he already paid off the debt. She asks where he got the money; he says he asked Foreman for a loan. She's worried about the consequences; he isn't worried - he has two ships and is a merchant. He asks if Santo had told Jorge or the authorities. She doesn't think so, because of the deal she made with him. Rico won't accept the deal. He will only leave town if she goes with him. He doesn't give a darn about Santo's jealousy or Lis' perverse fantasies. He only wants a normal, happy life with her. She's worried about the dangers to his life if Santo does report him. He gives her strength and assurance to keep fighting to be together. Rico asks her to run away with him tonight. She asks to leave a parting note for her father. Rico will explain a cover story with Lis. He tells her she is life, his time and gives her his silver shell pocket watch. They kiss.
* Lis yells in the salon, thinking Fran entered. Rico says no, it's him. Rico tells Lis what he knows she wants to hear, that he and Cami have officially separated, and that he and Lis will leave soon - he will return for her and she is to prepare her things. Rico leaves. Lis believes him and thinks she's finally won.
* Rico leaves the house and tells Mario he spoke with Cami and Lis - Rico, Mario and crew gallop away.
* Lis goes to courtyard and finds Cleo. Lis tells her to tell Fran and everyone that she doesn't want to be disturbed at all.
* Cleo goes to Fran's bedroom and tells Fran that Rico was there, he met with Cami and then talked with Lis and then left. Cleo says that Lis is in her room and doesn't want to be disturbed. Fran is concerned.
* In the hallway with Cleo, Fran knocks on the bedroom door. Lis, inside packing her small suitcase, calls out that she has a headache and doesn't want to be disturbed. Fran is concerned and leaves to get some tea for her.
* Santo, Ofelia, Rita holding Ana and the twins leave the house. Justo is sad that Cami wasn't there. Ines tries to cheer him up. Justo and Paco talk as they walk to the house. Ines and Vasco sit at the table - Vasco asks her about Rico and Ascanio. As Ines talks so positively about Ascanio and his advice, Vasco asks her about her friendship with him. Ines explains. He asks if she would consider marrying Ascanio. Ines pauses and says, if Ascanio asks her again, she would say yes in a heartbeat because Ascanio would be a better husband than Vasco. (Oo, harsh words.) Ines leaves.
* Santo brings Ofelia, Rita and Ana back home to the bedroom. Santo has to leave to meet with Jorge - he doesn't know what the meeting is about. Santo leaves. Rita is excited hoping Santo has accepted having a relationship with his father. Ofelia just glares at her.
* In the storeroom, Cami cries as she writes a letter to her dad explaining her decisions and her love for Rico. She asks for his understanding and forgiveness.
ADVANCE: Cleo the blabbermouth fouls up the plan for Rico to run away with Cami right ahead of Mario leaving with Lis.
Labels: Pasion
Oh but Ric came back and we got kisses tonight. Oh wow, I am glad they didn't run the evil Lis humiliates Camila for too many episodes, it's disgusting. Lis having to submit to the fondling and kisses of Bouffy of the rooster cockscomb is so deserved. Lis fondling Ric was revolting but the greeting and hug between Jimena and Mariooooo was so sweet if a bit short. I loved Sofia calling Lis on her meanness and false and coy innocent stance. She's going to bring them all down tomorrow though. Nasty this one, the anvils better be out there piling up like those lamps were last week. Yes a wagon load of anvils just outside of town, it's too late and too dastardly for a mere pie cart unless it's a really big one pulled by huge oxen that mow down devils like dirty Lis.
If Le Bouffy and Lis aren't The Creepiest Couple of the Year, I don't know who is. I about busted a gut when, after he finished pawing her and left the premises, she stood there twitching and trying to get whatever parasites he'd left on her neck OFF. That's one thing Bouffy does very well--he wipes that stupid smile off her face.
Lis let the debt go for a condition Ric was no way in hell going to keep, AND the relief note had NO condition on it? BIG Homer Simpson moment there, LisaBUTTa.
Cleo, Candida, Cami. To be considered for employment at Lis' House of Pain, please fax resume and references to the number below. Name must begin with C.
Wow. Ines cut vASSco off right at the knees. Youch.
Looks like the GritEater has learned how to use some common sense and has stopped disrupting the familia (no Cami-rant for a while). That's right, wench, when you're not spouting delusions every five minutes, people actually let you hang around.
Nice Ric/Cami and Jime/MMMario reunions. Now if they can just get the hell out of Dodge... not that things will be all easy then (that Foreman loan is going to come back to bite Ric). They're going to have to fight for their love even harder, in order to deserve it and get it in the end, because this is TelenovelaLand!
Cleo the Blabbermouth indeed (scenes from tomorrow). I kept wanting MMMario to just club her hard from behind, and make something up when Cousin LisaBUTTa asked about hearing a body fall. Hmph.
LOL @ Cheryl! Bouffy of the rooster cockscomb.
Very nicely done, Capitana JR.
Wow, that was a GREAT-GREAT episode! I am so happy that Ric returned and found out about Cami's pacts with Liz and Santo. I also think that it was great that eventually Ric understood Lizabeta's feelings for him and that she is mean, mean, mean. I only hope that she won't find out that Ric and Cami intend to run away before they acrually leave. But this is a telenovela so I have serious doubts about that.
I also hope that Liz will die but I don't want every villain dead. Someone should stay alive and pay the price. I hate it when everybody dies.
Ines has become one of my favourite characters. I love it when she "tortures" Vasco. The sweet, little Ines has grown up...
I would have loved to see Mario put his hand over Lis' mouth and hustle her off to oblivion. Dirty job, but somebody has to do it.
Cami is really overtaken by Pasion. On the one hand she agrees to leave Ric to save him, but then can't do it because pasion overcomes her and she must go with him. I hope they make it. How are they going to deal with the guards?
LaFont does such a great job of making the viewer dislike him. He is just all-around nasty. There is nothing redeeming about him. Hast la vista, baby! Call the Terminator.
From lower Ala
Grades for character growth: Rita, a D. Keeps complaining and whining, doesn't learn. Ines, give that girl an A. She's learned how to stand up for herself and strike fear into Vasco's stubby little heart. Let's give Vasco a B minus, since he's more aware of his faults but still has a way to go.
If Uriel/Ursula do marry, how well can Uriel run the store? Either Ursula will be beckoning with a feather plume from the back room, or she'll be off with a new lover and he'll have to hunt them down.
When the scorpion wagon comes to town, I'd like it to knock down Clotilde and run over her hands, so she can't keep flapping them all the time. Annoying.
Lis' facial expressions were so well done when LaFont was kissing her neck. You could tell she wanted to run, screaming all the way. Now I know the perfect way for Lis to die. They can marry, LaFont can give full range to his loving impulses on the wedding night, and Lis will either die of a heart attack/stroke or go mad and have to be locked away as a result. Couldn't happen to a nicer girl.
Hubby is concerned about my screaming at the tv. Told me last night "it's only a show, not real."

Bouf is SO creepy & the look on LisaBUTTa's face after he made his suave move was priceless. Ha ha ha, you evil witch!!! No Ric for you. Talk about karma!
Broken record: love love love Mario, Jimena, Ines, Ascanio, & Manuela. High fives to Sofia (Whorehey wishes he had her intelligence & strength).
Love the cartful of anvils instead of pies. The list of potential recipients keeps growing so we need something big & heavy to get them all.
And finally, Ric is just...oh, I don't know how else to say it...so darn HOT!!!!! I'm afraid I'll be in rehab after Pasion ends because I'm going to suffer from serious Ric withdrawals. Eduardo Yanez ain't bad but Ric is #1 for me.
A million thanks for the recap! As always, full of clarifications & laughs.
:-)
Gotta love Ursula for calling Cuz Liz like it is: a snake & a rat.
It's official: Le Bouffy & Cuz Liz are perfect for each other because they're both a taco short of a full platter.
Ascanio knows something is up with Manuela. He had to seen the bruises on her especially if everyone else has.
Thanks to Miss Nosy Body Cleo, I think something bad is gonna happen next to Cami or Ric or both.
Maybe Cleo needs a little Bouffy love too. That'll get those hands a-flapping.
I cheered the other night when she told Vasco, no. And that was so simply put No. She didn't show anger, she didn't justify or explain why not so he could start the monotonous begging and explaining he had changed. Just NO. AND she didn't even slam the door!
Last night I was proud, and just a teensy bit afraid o' her! She slams hard when she slams!!! Vasco, your wife has told you to your face that another man -and named him- would have been a MUCH better husband.
Vasco not only has a long way to go to get back home but he's received notice it will not be the love he left behind.
Thank you women script writers! My instincts tell me that history has ALWAYS had degress of oppression and degrees of acceptance of oppression among women. Yes they had numerous responsibilities and extremely limited rights. But the mind of women did not have to evolve to feel emotional pain and to go into protection mode. That is why I say that Inez and certainly Sophia were not 'women before their time', they were women who choose to try and get away with it!
I also LOVE to see Sophia throw back her shoulders and resettle her corset. She gives me the image of a woman warior settling her armor. Go Sophia!
Lisabeta is also a strong adversay although she is fighting the wrong war: Take what does not belong to you, at any cost and nobody but yourself counts.

Why it's so upsets you? She is a good actress!

While I despise Liz as much as anyone, she needs to live long enough to have to be Al's wife. That will be pure h*ll for her, then she can die.
And how wonderful is her faith that her father will be moved to forgive his little girl because "I love him Daddy."
In all the other telenovelas I've seen, either Camila or Ric (if not both) would have bought into this nonsense about her having to dump him. But not these two. I don't think they wasted a whole 30 seconds debating the merits of giving Lis what she wanted. They went straight to "screw that, we're goin' for it." I cheered like I've never cheered before! (In front of a telenovela, that is!)
Mad Maggie/CT: all I can say is what would we do without You Tube?! LOL.
Yes Little Paco is adorable! He is a scene stealer.
Go Ines! She is making Vasco work at getting back with her. She's not making it easy for him (probably the first time in his life that has happened to him) & I say You Go Girl!!!
But she just can't get anything to come out the way she plans. Yep she's done for now. We could see from Ricardo's face he didn't buy anything she said. And there won't be room in the boat for her!
Now Big Al has the upper hand.
I felt like I needed a bath after watching Bouffy paw at Lis. Ew! (And may I say, I really love the idea of her going mad on her wedding night. Now there's a suitable end!)
I think we need to find to Cleo a new job. Is there a deaf-mute we could sell her to?
I tell ya, I may be a heathen for not falling for Ric on the basis of looks, but his attitude! *Fans self* Nothing I love like a good alpha male.
Re: Paco: I thought I saw on the Caray cast list that he was also in Alborada. He wasn't the sack-of-potatoes child, was he?
Thanks!

They advertised a DVD in Mexico near the end of Pasion there, so there will very likely be one in the US. How soon is another story--they seem to delay them more in the US (they do have to add English subtitles).
Pascal
great summaries.I accidently found this Blog when watching "Mundo de Fieras". Now,I always look to see what 'Novelas you're doing,even if I do understand,just to make sure I haven't missed anything.Thanks.P.
