Guapos: Monday 3/31/08- "This Ain't No Rocky 7"
Please fill in the gaps---I had to do a rush job watching this and an even more rushed job with the recap. I'm sure I missed a lot.
The episode starts with Mili pulling off Al’s towel, however the camera doesn’t drop any lower, so IMO there was no need to show this scene again. Al runs back upstairs and Nestor does not seem to be bothered by the strange goings on at the Belmonte home. He takes the opportunity to talk about the locuras of youth, but that if he had a second chance he’d still love the same woman. He says this while making googolly eyes at Luci. They drink some more, but Luci refrains from joining in (must have killed her). Nestor asks Luci a veiled question about the locuras of her youth. She replies that she was a responsible teenager. Connie asks Nestor when he’ll be returning to Europe, a couple days Nestor answers. Connie says that next time Nestor needs to bring his wife (?, is he married?), so Connie can compliment her. Connie starts to yawn and they call it an evening.
Mili runs into her room and starts to talk to a picture of her mother. She asks the picture what she should do, should she follow her heart and get back with Al, even though he always hurts her. She starts to repeat the mantra of “I love you” and Gloria enters the dorm. She tells Mili she loves her too, but then asks if Mili’s “I love you” was intended for her?
Karla shows up at Andrea’s apartment. She fills the skank in on Mili and Hugo’s wedding plans. Andrea tells Karla that she’ll need her help in getting Al back.
Later, Luci’s in bed with Connie. She tests to see if he’s really sound asleep. Assured that he’s really out for the night, she sneaks out of the room and makes a call to Nestor’s hotel. She asks him something I didn’t catch, perhaps about being married. He urges her to get out of the house right now and join him. She’s afraid, what if Connie finds her gone. Nestor tells her that he slipped a Mickey into Connie’s drink, he’ll be passed out all night.
In the kitchen, Al is fetching a glass of water when Snotty comes into the room. She just got back from hanging out with Pilar. She tells her brother that Pilar’s really got the hots for him. He tells Val he’s not interested in Pilar and he already told her that he’s in love with another. Val doesn’t like to hear this and tells her brother he needs to forget Mili, besides she’s going to marry Hugo. Al says we’ll see about that. At this point Mili walks into the kitchen and remains hidden as she listens to their conversation. Snotty goes on “imagine if you married her, no one in the family would come to your wedding, you’d be disowned and then you’d have to support her on a meager salary, how long before you would end up hating her for everything you had to sacrifice.” Al says nothing and Mili hears this all and runs off.
In the dorm, Gloria and Lina are still at odds over that boy. They have a tiff over the lights. Karla tells them to take it out into the garden and fight like cats. Karla goes into el bano and Mili enters the room. She’s crying and the two girls unite in comforting her. She fills Gloria and Lina in on what she overheard Snotty say. She realizes that she’ll be doing the same thing to Hugo, so she’s going to have to call off that wedding. Karla, now out of el bano, hears this.
Luci meets Nestor at his hotel suite. They drink champagne and talk about how he didn’t know she was Belmonte’s wife. He wonders what happened to the strong secure girl he used to know. She tells him she’s been stifled by Connie and she’s afraid he’ll kill her. Nestor goes into protection mode—something needs to be done. She pooh-poohs that and says that now she’s able to smile because she’s with Nestor again. He tells her he’s always dreamt of this moment and they move things to the bedroom.
Regina has a nightmare about her missing grandchild. She prays that she doesn’t have much time left, so she’s desperate to see her nieto. The next day Mili finds Regina crying when she comes in with breakfast. Regina tells her of the bad dream and how she’s afraid of dying without ever seeing her grandchild. Mili offers comfort, but Regina says to leave her alone for awhile. Mili obeys, but says that she’ll be back soon to check on her.
Bobby and Rocky each approach their seconds for the planned duel. Al (Bobby’s) and Horacio (Rocky’s) each point out the foolishness and the illegality of dueling. We find out it is a going to be a boxing match in the garden, that afternoon.
Karla finds Al and tells him she’s got a message for him from Mili.
Luci wakes Connie and he’s surprised she’s serving him breakfast in bed. Is it his birthday? Connie can’t eat and heads off to the bathroom. Luci laughs.
We are treated to a montage of silly scenes of Bobby and Rocky prepping for the duel.
Al goes to meet Mili, but it turns out to be Andrea who’s meeting him. He’s not happy. She says she has to talk to him and she goes on with the same old lies---she loves him, blah, blah. Al isn’t falling for it. She tells him that she only wants him to be happy and she’s willing to help him win the girl he loves. Al still isn’t falling for it. Then Andrea spills all the details of her deception, but says it was Hugo’s idea and plan in order to get Mili away from Al. Al says that this must be some new twisted plan hatched by Andrea and his father.
Mili tells Hugo she’s calling off the wedding. He wants an explanation and she says she doesn’t want him ending up hating her. She basically spits out the same scenario that Val painted for Al the night before. Hugo assures her that won’t happen. His father supports them and besides he’s got money of his own from his inheritance from his mother. He hugs her and starts to laugh---Mili questions this (as do I). Hugo tells her that he’s just imagining her playing soccer with their child. Child? Mili questions, a look of fear on her face, because she must now realize she’s going to have to sleep with Hugo if she marries him.
Nestor comes to the mansion and extends an invite to Connie and Luci to join him in Tepoxetlan. Connie can’t go because of work obligations but he suggests that Luci still go. She’s “reluctant” and Connie tells her that he needs her help, so he’s ordering her to go. Luci agrees, and smiles smugly to herself.
Hugo and Mili talk wedding plans with Braulio. Mili asks Brau to give her away. He cries. Mili and Hugo leave to go make more plans. Another montage of scenes, this time with Hugo and Mili looking at wedding details. Hugo’s definitely more into it than Mili. Al comes home and Brau gives him some of the wedding details, Al says that there will not be a wedding---it seems like he might be believing a bit of Andrea's tale. Al takes off and Brau says to himself-- he’s not going to allow Al to hurt his niece.
Karla and Andrea plot some more. Andrea tells Karla that she’s got the perfect thing to break up Al and Mili for good, and she’ll use it when the time is right.
The duel begins. It is full of comic hijinx. It ends up with both Rocky and Bobby down for the count. Horacio and Al call it a draw.
Karla catches Luci and Nestor snogging in the foyer. Luci offers her a check in exchange for silence. Karla hems and haws for more money and Luci tells her to take what’s offered and if she talks, Luci will kill her.
We are treated to yet another montage, this time of Nestor and Luci on their romantic little trip.
Hugo and Mili visit the convent.
Connie visits Andrea, and tells her he needs to clean up his image.

Cathy: Thank you very much.
No matter how hard he tries one way or another, Connie is still a cad. Luci is not a very sympathetic person, but I don't think she deserves the way he treats her, e.g., locking her up, making all the booze available, threatening her, etc. And, of all things, don't cheat on me!
Anyway, at last we know how Hugo is surviving without a 9-5 grind. Mommy left him money and it's not tied into the "company". Well, that's a relief.

Thanks for the recap, Cathy. Fortunately, you got a lot of time-saving montage scenes. That boxing match was a bit too violent, IMO--or else they were really turning up the sound effects. Ouch!
I actually thought Nestor had put a mickey in Connie's drink to make him fall asleep. Connie's yawning was so exaggerated, but it did not seem that he was faking. Did anyon else think that?

nina - you're right, Nestor put a sedative in Connie's drink so that Lucy could sneak out to his hotel room and be naughty with him.
And let's not forget the ending scene - where Connie learns that Alejandro is on the list of candidates! Does that mean that he's on the list, and Connie's not? Or will they have to run against each other? Tune in Tuesday to find out!

Amy, did you actually see him put in the mickey? I wasn't watching closely, but I saw that Nestor was the one preparing the drinks, so I did become suspicious.
I did not see that ending scene either, thanks.
I thought Al looked very good when he was wearing the sleeveless athletic shirt and no ponytail. He has very nicely muscled arms from his gymnastic training. I was sorry to see the ponytail return later.

Im back once again,
My internet died for the longest time but that doesnt mean i havnt been following up.
This is probley the first show Im plaing to watch till the end, So far i have only missed a few episodes. Im recording like three diffrent shows each week so im on a mad tivo dash to put them all on tape(im so behinde, I watch the show while it tivos in another room).
Ok now on to my reveiw,
I read the plot summary in three places and I some what know where this is headed but whats not to happen in between.I also been reading some recaps Im working on catching up. I also found the old shows sumaries. Moveing on...
Valida should watch what shes talking about shes the one who loves her driver. And since her wedding didnt happen she doesnt have anything better to do then get attion. As for Luci shes like a dog she runs free from the house and her drinks and she just picks up a shoulder to lean on.
The things I dont get is whos the villan?
You got Luci is a binge drinker who sobbs and Her brother is slick and dirty with these little plains,
Karla who well just has away with money and Andrea just wants her man and trinkets(which is comon vilain plot, But I dont see her as a strong rival), Hugo is well just in pain and is odd.And last Constancio whos a cold hearted man suffering. Spot a villan cause I dont!
Also anyone takeing on summaries for the show after Passion,
Fuego en la Sangre (though is a not long ago remake of Pasión de Gavilanes)
Funny thing,
I got a start on its summaries before it came about cause i was scooping for something to read(Its was its remakes summaries).lol
Great recap!
heres a little link to this shows remake http://www.geocities.com/munecabravaint/English/Index.html

Good point, EmileeK. Valeria is the pot calling the kettle black--or our ex-governor Eliot Spitzer prosecuting prostitution rings . . . oops!
Good recap Cathy, you need make no apologies. Laughed at you "googolly" eyes description of Nestor. I think the man suffers from hyperthyroidism...his eyes are definitely protruberant even without the lovesick calf thing going on.
Luciana is a lush but it was nice to see her pull one over on Constancio for a change. And she WAS sweet about it, so hey....no harm, no foul.
Yes, the writers keep gifting us with good shots of Alejandro's manly muscles to make up for the frustrations of the off/again on/again romance. Thank you script people!

NinaK – Lestor actually told Luci he’d slipped something into Connie’s drink so she could come to his hotel to make whoopee. I was glad to see Luci have some fun and have someone be kind to her…
Great recap, Cathy! I think you got it all up there!

Can't stand Luci and what kind of man carries around a mickey or something like a roofie in his pocket when going to dinner at someone's house. He had no idea that Luci would be there. Add one more creep to the show Nestor. A perfect mate for the lush.
Snotty Spice continues to be a heartless twit -yawn
Karla certainly seems to have radar to be in the right place at the right time to find someone doing something nasty and she is smart enough to collect on it. Let's see she is currently on Damian, Connie, Andrea and now Luci's blackmail payroll.Sooner or later she is bound to trip herself up.
Andrea continues using up her nine lives. In that last scene when she is slinging her usual load of bull at Al Hugo looked stunned when she said faux baby was all his idea. Should be interesting to see how it plays out.
I really feel for Regina. I wish Connie would tell her the truth about Mili. I have a terrible feeling they will kill her off never knowing the truth. Yes Connie is a cad and one can only wonder what kind of father he had that turned him into such a craven coward. I keep cutingt him some slack because of those scenes with Mili and wonder what will happen to him in the end.

Decie, I disagree in part about Nestor--I think he knew very well that Luci was Connie's husband when he went over there. He must have been planning this.
Still, you are completely correct in your rhetorical question: What kind of man carries around a mickey or roofie indeed.

Definitely was odd that Nestor had something on him to slip into Connie's drink---why did he bring it to a business meeting? Perhaps, as someone said, he really did know that Connie and Luci were married.
Yes, thankfully there were plenty of montage scenes last night, it really helped the recap. :-) The novela gods must have known I was short on time.
