Pasion April 1, 2008 Cami loves Rico, Santo is a pigheaded jerk and Justo isn't living up to his name
* On the Salamander, Mario dismisses Sam and Jesus from the doorway as he enters. Magdalena gives feverish Captain Rico a back massage as he lays on his side. Mario checks and says the fever has gone down. Magdalena agrees. She also says they are almost out of herbs, and says she can't understand what Rico mumbles except for Cami's name.
* Santo arrives at the yard, Justo escorts him to the house.
* Ines runs into the bedroom to forewarn Cami and Jimena about Santo's arrival. Cami is impactado and intrigued.
* Santo and Justo wait in the salon. Cami enters and sits down. Santo and Justo double team her with their plan to send her away for the duration of her pregnancy. She asks if they are sending her to a convent. Santo says no, to another town. She asks for the name. He won't reveal it. She wonders if she's going to prison again. He says no, this is for her own safety. Cami is aghast. He says he doesn't want Rico to return and take her away again. She yells and argues against the idea. Justo goes ballistic, grabs his daughter and forces her into the chair near Santo. Santo has to force Justo to back off. Santo then attacks Cami with his own opinions and jealous insults against Rico's character. She can't believe either of their attitudes.
* Cami runs back to the bedroom, crying. She reports to Jimena and Ines the plan of Santo and Justo to send her away to another town, alone, where no one knows her and Rico can't find her. Jimena and Ines are aghast and upset. Cami will need to be strong, think of her baby and Rico. Cami then cries her outrage over Justo's attitude against Rico, after everything Rico's done for their family.
* Uriel arrives at the mansion's front gate and asks to visit Ursula. He is escorted inside by the guard.
* Sofia, Ursula and Fortunata are having a bridge game in the ladies' salon. Guard enters to announce Uriel is there to see Ursula. Ursula gives her response. Guard leaves. Sofia and Ursula start to discuss Ursula's decision not to marry Uriel. Ursula is adamant and has plenty of reasons not to marry him. Sofia wonders about Ursula's renewed interest in Vasco. Ursula denies it. They discuss. Ursula makes her decision known and she leaves. Sofia supposes Ursula is still hung up on Vasco. She and Fortunata discuss this latest turn of events as nana and Tita play.
* Jimena visits Ascanio at the mill office. Ascanio is working on the accounts. She tells him about Cami's pregnancy with Rico's baby. Ascanio shakes his head. He is impactado to hear Justo and Santo's plan to move Cami to another town to hide the pregnancy and Cami from Rico.
* In the office, Sofia and Jorge discuss Ursula's decision. Jorge suggests that Sofia take care of her daughter, and he will take care of his son. Sofia doesn't like that suggestion, besides she has a serious problem with Ursula's stubbornness. He mentions what he would like to do for Alberto and Lis' wedding. She refuses to comply and leaves.
* Vasco drives the cart up to the mill. He leaves the cart with Higinio as he goes up the stairs.
* Vasco enters the office to talk with Ascanio. He apologizes for his confrontational outburst and accusations against Ascanio the other day. Ascanio understands. Vasco then tells Ascanio about some business deal he's working on for the mill. Ascanio will expect it in two days. Vasco notes Ascanio's mood and asks what's the matter? Ascanio doesn't tell him. Vasco leaves.
* Alberto and Lis talk in the salon about their honeymoon trip. Lis wants to return to La Mariana, and the places she remembers from her childhood. Alberto wonders about her memories of Rico having an influence on her. He changes the subject by telling her that Cami is pregnant with Rico's baby and the plan of Santo, Justo and Jorge is to move her out to a different town to keep the pregnancy and her whereabouts secret. They discuss. Lis wonders what will they do with the baby when it's born. Alberto doesn't really care and kisses her hand.
* Lis runs into the bedroom and blurts out to Fran about Cami's pregnancy and she's been sent into hiding. Lis is excited by the possibility of stealing the baby for herself.
* Cami sits up in her bed and remembers Rico telling her how much he loves and needs her in his life, she's his future. As she rubs her belly, she mumbles "for you and your father, I will do whatever is necessary."
* Lis and Fran argue about stealing Cami's baby for Lis to raise. Fran reminds her that Rico could return and what his reaction may be as well as Alberto could've lied about Rico being dead. Lis cries about her doubts and that this baby is the only thing remaining of Rico. Fran and Lis debate the plan and Cami's agreement; Lis is adamant about her plan. Fran says she has a point.
* In the sewing room, Ofelia and Santo have a heated debate about Santo's plan to hide Cami during her pregnancy. Ofelia vents her frustration and defends Rico's rights as the father of the baby. Santo could care less, he still thinks of Rico as a lying, cheating pirate that isn't good enough to walk the face of the planet let alone be anywhere near his precious Cami. Santo is adamant of his plan. Ofelia tells him he is so wrong and very bad in what he is planning. Santo tells her they will be leaving from Justo's house. He stomps out. She cries.
* In her bedroom, Ursula picks on Manuela and her crush on Ascanio.
* Vasco and Ascanio leave the mill and walk along the path. They discuss Cami and Rico and the family's opinions of him. Vasco says everyone loved and respected Rico. Ascanio sees Manuela and runs over to her. He greets her. Manuela is crying and he asks why? She explains about her father's upcoming marriage to Lis as well as his beatings. She is also frustrated and feels sorry for Cami and Rico's rotten luck. She tells Ascanio that he is her best friend. Ascanio doesn't feel like a friend, because he really likes her, maybe even loves her. They hug. They kiss. She loves him too. They kiss some more.
* Jorge takes his crew (Mateo, Uriel and Alberto) down to the dungeons and into the room where Rico's treasure chests are. Jorge tells them he already took his portion. Now they can distribute the rest fairly between themselves. Jorge is leaving them so he can meet and greet Santo, Rita and Ana. Before he leaves, he tells Uriel to take a double portion. Mateo wonders why? Jorge says for compensation over Ursula dumping him and calling off the engagement. Alberto chides Uriel over being dumped and tells him he should be thanking his lucky stars for the cancellation. They are about to start a sword fight there in the room. Alberto grumbles to Uriel to be glad Jorge still has him running the market.
* Sofia greets Santo, Rita and little Ana in the salon. Sofia mentions need for a nanny. Rita agrees. Santo isn't so sure, they are humble people. Fortunata and Ursula join them in the salon; Fortunata says so are they. Ursula just giggles. Jorge finally enters to welcome Santo and family to the mansion. Sofia and Fortunata escort Santo, Rita and Ana upstairs to their rooms. Ursula talks with Jorge about calling off the engagement to Uriel; he asks her about her ideal husband. She tells him her description; he says, oh, a pirate is what you like. She says not just any flea-bitten vulgar one but one who is sophisticated powerful and more like you daddy. He says men like him are very rare indeed. She says there is one, John Lancaster. He is disgusted by the remark and calls her stupid. He leaves.
* At the hacienda in la Coralina, Paisana debates with the lady of the house about money agreement. Mario and crew carry Rico on his blanket stretcher into the bedroom. Paisana and the lady hammer out an agreement. Rico wakes up. Mario calls out to get him some water. Paisana asks Magdalena to get it. Magdalena leaves with the water pitcher. Mario sits and helps Rico drink from his canteen. Mario explains where Rico is and how they arrived there. Rico's memory is foggy; he asks for Cami. Mario says they left her behind. Rico tries to get out of bed. Mario forces him to lay back down. Mario reminds him about Lis' screams that brought the guards to the house; the violent fighting that left him wounded in two places; Santo and Jorge's orders for clemency for them all. Rico starts to remember.
* Cami says her tearful good-bye to Ines; then Ofelia cries her good-bye to Cami and hands her a basket of herbs to take with her and says that when it's time to give birth, Ofelia will be by her side. Cami hugs Jimena good-bye. Cami asks Ascanio where her brother is, Ascanio says her dad sent him to the mill early so he won't know about the move, Cami glances over at her dad by the coach. Cami tells Ascanio to take care of Jimena and they hug. Cami cries with her good-bye to Paco, who asks about her joining Uncle Rico on his ship - she lies and says yes to the story. They hug. Cami hugs Jimena again and then Justo walks her to the coach. Seated on their horses, Alberto yawns and looks bored; Santo is stone-faced. When Cami and Justo are safely in the coach, the caravan leaves.
* Paco is so upset he runs as fast as his legs can carry him all the way to the mill. Vasco, impactado, runs outside to his son. Paco tells Vasco that they took Cami away from town - to hide her from Rico. He's confused because Cami was crying.
* Vasco runs home; in the yard, he scolds Ascanio and Ines for not telling anything about Cami being taken away, for pete's sake, Ines! she's my sister! Ines and Ascanio explain that Justo ordered them to keep it a secret. Ines is crying and says that Justo said they are taking her to a convent, but she doesn't know which one. She runs to the house. Ascanio defends his position, he had no choice, Justo is his boss. Ascanio leaves.
* In the bedroom, Vasco has a one-on-one conversation with Ines about Justo's plan and Cami. Vasco feels even more guilty now about the letter and Lis getting Tim's estate. Vasco tells Ines he loves her. They kiss. (Kika is singing the background song.) Ines is impactado and pulls away. She reminds Vasco he has to return to work at the mill. Vasco agrees to leave, and will come home early.
* Caravan arrives at the hacienda in Garbancillo. Alberto greets Juliana outside the door. He tells her why they are there, that Don Jorge sent them. Juliana shows them inside. Santo helps Cami down from the coach and to the house.
* In the salon, Alberto, Santo, Cami and Justo are presented to Bartolome and Juliana. Juliana takes Santo, Justo and Cami to the bedroom. Alberto pulls Bart aside to tell him to report in secret to him about Cami. He also asks about Juliana and if she can be trusted. Bart responds.
* In the bedroom, Santo instructs Julian on what to provide for Cami's stay. Santo and Juliana leave the room. Cami is still really upset. Justo tries to explain again. She doesn't want to hear it; she only wants him to promise her one thing - that her baby will always be with her. Justo has no choice but to promise.
* Rico wakes up, agitated and feverish. Pablo cares for his fever and talks with Rico. Rico asks Pablo to take a letter to Cami in San Fernando for him, tell her that he is getting better, that he will come back for her. He eventually falls back asleep.
* In the salon, Santo has to reassure Justo that they are doing the right thing for Cami. Santo tells Justo that Alberto is outside with the local midwife, and that Ofelia will visit and help with the birth of Cami's baby. Santo leaves. Justo sits and thinks.
* Santo returns to the bedroom and visits with Cami. Cami is rearranging things in the room. Santo promises her that he will visit often. She doesn't really believe him. They start to debate about her love for Rico and they both realize that they have become total strangers to each other. (She now loves Rico and he's turned into a jealous, pigheaded jerk.) Santo starts in with his holy-than-thou jealous insults about Rico's character. Cami wants him to shut up and stop it. She defends her love. She promises that she won't escape but she will never give up Rico; she vows that she and Rico will be together again someday - if not in this lifetime, maybe the next.
* In the salon, Alberto watches Justo talk with Auxiliadora about Cami's pregnancy and that Ofelia will be arriving to help with the birth. Santo tries to stop Justo from paying Auxiliadora, but Justo insists - Cami is his daughter and his responsibility. Auxiliadora leaves. Alberto escorts her outside.
* Outside, on the walkway, Alberto instructs Auxiliadora to come to his house in San Fernando and report direct to him about Cami's pregnancy. Auxiliadora agrees and walks away.
* Juliana enters the bedroom and talks with Cami. Cami asks her for a book to read. Juliana agrees to bring her one tomorrow. Juliana leaves. Cami starts to grumble about her dad, then she kneels down and prays for a better life for her baby's birth and the return of Rico.
* Mario and Paisana debate with Rico over his plan to send Pablo to San Fernando with the letter for Cami; it's too dangerous, Mario reminds him. Rico thinks Pablo can do it and nothing bad will happen to him. Pablo agrees to comply with the order; he isn't scared. Rico asks about the next ship sailing to Mexico - Mario responds. Rico asks to be alone so he can finish writing his letter. They all leave. Rico thought bubbles as he writes to Cami about his health condition, where he is, and that he still loves her and vows to return for her no matter what.
ADVANCE: Lis and Alberto are married and Lis has a nightmare of a wedding night, thanks to Alberto. Rico recovers and makes his plans on his return to San Fernando and Cami.
Labels: Pasion
I'd like to nominate Santiago for Loser of the Day. (Of course, Justo is still our reigning champion for the week - and it's only Tuesday!) Of all the many, many ass-tacular things he's done lately, talking to Ofelia that way has to be the worst. (And by 'talking', I mean, 'Yelling like he's been taking lessons from Alberto'. Is he going to grab her and shake her next?)
And just what was Justo planning on telling Vasco when he came home from the mill? Did he think Camila's own brother wouldn't notice she was gone? Sure, Vasco can be a little thick, but it's not like he's - he's - well, pick a character!
"Hey, Dad, where's Camila?"
"She's...uh...in the outhouse." (Eye-twitch)
"That's what you said the last three times I asked."
"Well, you know women! No, don't open the door; you'll humiliate - me!"
Were Lis and her doll wearing matching dresses? (Have they done this before, and I just didn't notice? Am I turning into Justo's vision of Vasco?)
I think we're all going to have nightmares tomorrow - and yet, I can't wait!
I was irritated by Cami going along with the utter bull@! surrounding her, but I've been thinking about what you said, Cami-Supporter. She would be worried that any crazy stuff she pulled now might harm her baby. That is Cami. She is sticking up for herself verbally though, and doing a GOOD job of that.
Did you see vASSco's face when he declared his love to Ines? Very sweet. I'm praying for ya, buddy.
It may not have been wise to dump Uriel, dear Whoresula. He was promising. Any remaining prospects for you only go downhill from here, honey.
Hearing Ric's voice again was a treat I have long missed.
At first, I about blew a gasket at Lis having the gall to think she was entitled to Ric's baby. I mean--that is a Special Kind of Stupid. Are you kidding me?? But then... I remembered something that happened in MY town a few years ago, when a guy I knew from way back in high school was accidentally killed on the job (we'll call him "H".) H had been separated from Wife for some years, but not divorced; Wife lived in another state with Boyfriend. H and Girlfriend were living happily with their biological child when he was killed. Wife swooped back into Georgia on her broom, not only to settle insurance issues and such, but to seek custody of H's kid, because he was her hubby and what was his was also hers. We were stunned. But you're not the kid's MOTHER, wench! So there you go. No lie.
Ascanio and Mani lip-locking in public! Talk about not giving a damn about getting locked up! Awesome.
OMG. All that evil crap Lis has been stirring in her cauldron is about to come back on her butt in spades. The Evil Cockscomb descendeth! Oh, it's on! Stick a fork in her 'cause she is done.
LOL @ mad marley!
And I'm afraid Santi's gonna die: His mom said he was b-b-b-bad. He'll probably get skewered by Bouffy while he tries to protect Camila, or maybe protecting gRita whom Bouffy whom he has already proclaimed as not fit to be the Senora of San Fernando. The death sentence is not only because Ofeilia said "eres mal" but he's so sickly obsessed with Cami, only death will cure him. Maybe his daddy's genes will kick in and he will try to get rid of gRita so he can have Cami as his "queen."
I'm glad Cami has decided to be strong about this. If this lasts long enough, I could see her fighting keep her baby from Bouffy and Santi dying at Bouffy's hands. Ric whill dispatch Bouffy.
Doh! I usually tape the show and watch the next day because it's been too exciting to be the last thing before trying to sleep. Think I need to go back to that. Late for work!
Vasco - his heart's in the right place; it's other organs he has a problem with.
Rita's in heaven ... or an earthly approximation thereof, from the way she's acting.
Loved the kiss between Ascanio and Manuela - it was sweet, and so overdue!
And Lisabeta's going to have a long, miserable marriage (married to LaFont? even one night would be a loooong time! and that first night's going to be something!).
In the previews, they showed Lisabeta falling out of the marriage bed - think a blow to the head might restore her sight? she'd be able to see the true horror she's married!
Toddson
Saintly took his righteousness to a whole new level last night. Funny how he doesn't even seem handsome to me anymore...he's just an arrogant jerk.
Ascanio & Manuela...YEAH!!! Here's wishing you the best, although it may be a few more episodes before you can be happily together.
Whoresula wants Foreman...big surprise.
Ric awakens! Must have been my ministrations that you guys couldn't see (I was discreetly off-camera...I'm a little shy). See what a little groping---oops, I meant therapeutic massage---can do for a fever?
;-)
I think the reason Vasco wasn't told Cami was being spirited out of town was that he would have fought tooth & nail against it & Justo knew it. Nice that Justo didn't think how upset little Paco would be. Poor kid.
Cuz Liz is gonna find out she made a pact with the devil himself. Well girl you made your bed now you gotta lie in it.
I had a feeling getting Le Bouffy involved in the Cami situation was not good. He's going behind Santi & Jorge's backs cuz he has his own agenda. I can't wait for the day all his sneaking behind people's backs blows up in his sanctimonious face!
Glad Ric is back. I too have missed his voice (among other things).
Men's night out at the Salamanca bridal boutique, huh? I hope these jewels flooding the market will be just the evidence Ri-car-do needs to prove his case against Whoreje and Al-the Abuser-Boufant.
That mid-wife was pledged to do ANYTHING Bad Al wants, right?
I also thought the reason vasco wasn't told is because inJusto thought he would tell Ricardo. Vasco was talking with Ascanio.oo and saying how Ricardo has been good to his sister.
Too bad Lis....you are crazy and manipulative....Bouffy is crazy and manipulative! The perfect pair. Too bad for Lis, she deserves everything she's going to get...even (eeeewww)Bouffy in bed!
Mad Marley....LOL with your descriptions!!!
The highs are getting higher and the lows are getting lower. Every time something good happens (Ascanio and Manuela!!!!!) something even worse happens (Lafont puts the midwife on the take).
I've noticed that you need to pay attention to the phases of the moon in order to keep track of time. They didn't say two weeks had passed, but when they got to the house someone said she was almost at three months (Monday night she was just over two months). The clue is that in Monday's episode it was a full moon, and last night it was a half-moon. Tricky!
As for Lis's wedding night... much as I despise her, I really winced at the preview for tonight. I'm not sure if I'll be able to watch that scene. (If she does something particularly obnoxious just before, though, it'll make things a lot easier for me.)
I wonder if they will be advancing the time soon. I am getting impatient with Ric's slow recovery.
Since the very beginning, I have thought the Ric would somehow get his fortune back from Jorge, but now it is getting spread around. I wouldn't be surprised if Tia Fran recognizes some of the pieces.
Waiting for Ric to recover to kick some serious AssHats.
But, I'll add this - Ascanio smiling and kissing Manuela. That was the highlight of the night. He sure looks better being tender than he did planting corpses in the flowergarden in ASL. Oh, well, it's just a story.
Anyway, the three stooges (Jorge, Santi and Al) have it coming to them. Today, I think Al is the worst. I really didn't like the previews of the bedroom scene with Lis - even though she's meaner than a bad snake.
From lower Ala
Last night brought some relief when Camila stopped playing begger at their altar. But I'm having conversations with inJusto still:
You let vAAssco be a custodial parent(?) and you knew him to be unfit! Wait 'till Sophia hears about you! !!! Camila will NEVER thank you, but you will thank her for pulling Sophia off your neck!
Its wintery cold here but I need a FAN!
And better yet, because Mars is so hot, all the men wear is a loincloth and a "harness" made of leather straps, to hold their sword and dagger.
Oh, can't you just imagine it? Pardon me, while I spend the rest of the morning imagining it.
...hey Mario...they have seperated your sirenita from her bestest friend...and she's got no place to live...go for her...hee-hee-hee.
I probably won't watch the Lafont Honeymoon scene. Rape; especially of a blind woman,is a bit much. Maybe I'll have the show on and do a little mending to keep busy while I follow the plot.MHM
I am so dissappointed that Ricardo will not be with Camila to enjoy the pregnancy
I don't see how having Camila disappear for, oh, six or seven months is going to keep the baby a secret - back when I was in high school, when a girl "went to visit her aunt" for that length of time people assumed she was off having a baby.
And OF COURSE LaFont has evil plans for Camila and her baby!
Also, when they were in the basement splitting up the loot, didn't LaFont make a rather crude comment about Uriel having a near escape - something about if he married Ursula he wouldn't be able to get through the door because of the horns on his head? Which means Ursula's, um, pastimes aren't exactly a secret. (Is ANYTHING in that town a secret? seems like the rumor mill runs even more vigorously than Justo's mill ... even with a shirtless Ascanio and the other men pushing!)
Toddson
Ascanio's kiss with Manuela was so cute. I am glad that she trusted him and that finally this poor girl will have someone to protect her. On the other hand, she could wake up one day and decide to stand on her own feet, emancipate, start a job and be independent but I think that would be too much to ask!
I think that in a sense Justo and Santo are worse than Liz. At least we knew from the beginning that SHE was a snake. On the other hand, does Liz want to take Cami's baby?? Shut my mouth! I mean she must be really - really...something (I can' t translate the word that I am thinking right now!)
I have a question: They send Cami away so nobody will find out about her being pregnant(of course almost everybody knows but nevermind. Cami made her father promise that the baby will always be with Cami. I don't understand what they are going to do with the baby when she's back? Do they plan to keep her away forever? Or perhaps Justo lied to her? I think that I am missing something.
Santi to Jorge: Camila's pregnant. But don't tell anyone.
Jorge to LaFont: Camila's pregnant. But don't tell anyone.
Lafont to Liz: Camila's pregnant. But don't tell anyone.
Time passes. We see an unfamilar man and a woman, close-up on their faces: Camila's pregnant. But don't tell anyone. Camera pulls back. It is the court in Spain, Fernando speaking to Isabella.
Time passes. Two unfamiliar faces. Camila's pregnant. But don't tell anyone. Camera pulls back. It's two eskimoes standing by their igloo.
Time passes. Voice. Camila's pregnant. But don't tell anyone. Camera pulls back. It is two furry green creatures from Alpha Centauri.
Time passes. Woman's face, announcing: Camila's pregnant. But don't tell anyone. Camera pulls back. It is Cassandra, telling the entire Trojan army. But they don't tell anyone, because no one believes her anyway.
Now Whoreje has a clearer view of how perverse Al is. But then again, he doesn't want Ricardo searching his territories looking for a missing child AND his new bio-son would be getting an open road to a new mistress. Whoreje could decide to go-along-get-along.
It really is quite hilarious how people in this town think that adding "don't tell anyone" somehow magically protects the secret. But I'm glad Paco has such a big mouth. :) If enough people find out, Justo's excuse for sending Cami away will be moot, and then maybe (yes I'm living in a fantasy world) he'll call off the whole plan.
Inez is so impressed with his responsible action she tells him he could possibly be worth hanging on to, keep up the good work.
Maybe LaFont breaks Lisabeta's doll and she takes a broken piece and slits his throat (by feel!).
I keep getting hung up on inconsistencies - Justo's got his knickers (as well as his face) in a twist over Camila's pregnancy, but no one ever seems to think anything of Paco there, big as life (and bigger-mouthed). What happened to his mother? was there a first Mrs. Vasco? if so, we have to presume she's dead. If not ... is he illegitimate? did they find him in the watermelon patch?
And Lisabeta took all Camila's nice dresses and jewelry when she went free ... but she still has the watch and her "wedding" ring. I'd think those would be the first things Lisabeta would go after - family pieces, gifts from Ricardo. Or (1) since she couldn't see them, did she not ask for them or (2) did she realize this was a "when you pry them from my cold dead hands" situation?
Toddson
It would have been quite inconsistent of Justo not to force Vasco to marry that woman, considering he forced Vasco to marry Ines when she wasn't even pregnant.
I don't really want to see Liz's wedding night, but I must say she so brought it on herself. Not just that she has been evil, but that her actions got her engaged to Al and sent away the only person who would help her (Ric).
Cami Supporter
I almost feel sorry for Lisabeta - she was trying to play games with the wrong person. Not only was she waaaay out of her league, but he's not playing. (And he probably never did play well with others - imagine his school reports when he was a kid!) Yes, she brought it on herself, with the help of Aunt Francisca, but the payback is going to be a bitch.
Off and on I'd wondered about why LaFont didn't try for marriage with Ursula; on reflection, I don't imagine her father would allow her to be seriously abused, and LaFont wouldn't put up with her sleeping with other men. Ursula probably would run away to a convent rather than marry him, too.
So ... when will Justo have another stroke? all this stress ... and his face really is twitching.
Toddson
Le Bouffy and Lis will successfully take Cami's baby. Cami and Ric will have to search to the four corners of the earth before finding Antillano Jr. (unless they're led to believe the child is dead, in which case the search will be delayed.)
Santi will end up sacrificing himself to protect Cami, or Cami and Ric, from Le Bouffant's machinations, when what should happen is: he be changed by the power of Ric and Cami's love, and his own love for Ana, and go on with his life to make things better for the town. (He'll probably end up dead to appease the Telenovela Gods who love that kind of thing, you know, you're constantly shafted for the duration of the show until you are a raving lunatic and then you die *coughGASPAR/DUELOcough*)
The GritEater will lose everything she has or has ever had, due to either the buried letter or some other anvil. She will spend the rest of her days wandering the outskirts of town alone, like a kid who can only look in the candy story window but isn't allowed in.
Ascanio will be in grave danger from Le Bouffant's wrath, as will Mani. A real tragedy could come about here, with Mani being the victim. I'm surprised the raging Bouffy hasn't already accidentally killed the girl, frankly.
Vasco will redeem himself by helping with the Cami/Ric situation, and get back into nookie-bliss with Ines. Paco will get a new sibling.
Jorge and Sofia may not make it out of this alive--again, Le Bouffant the Terrible.
Lis (and dolly) will end up committed to an asylum, listening to non-existant music in her head. Fran will end up haunting the outskirts of town with GRita, not welcome anywhere.
Whoresula will find the adventure and high-maintenance sex she needs on the high seas, with Foreman. She'll look right at home on deck, posing next to a big sturdy mast (the ship's, or Foreman's :) Being a fine lady married to a fine gentleman just won't make her happy--she needs the outrageous.
The stress Justo keeps putting on his stupid self may just end up doing him in. Bye-bye.
MMMario and Jime actually become legal. *squeallllllllll* They and Cami and Ric and AJ end up loving on the high seas, island hopping, and happy far away from SF.
Pablo and Paisana work things out and happily reunite--hopefully before one of them is mortally wounded.
If Santi survives and either Jorge or Sofi doesn't, that would make room at the palace for Ofi.
The twins will each get their own busty wench or nice SF girl, which will make them swing those hammers harder on the job. (Frankly, I'd rather they just end up on either side of my four-poster, like bookends. Sorry, Ric... but they're TWINS, man!)
Definitely Must Die A Bad Death, no matter what List: Bouffant.
Even with all that, I know I'm missing someone... help me out, y'all.
At the mill, Vasco and Ascanio have been talking (not as a plot point) about a Don Fernando who wants to mill a lot of corn.
There's no point in wishing Justo away to the cornfield if his own best customer is going to find him and brings him home.
I would think that Ascanio would know her if he saw her, so I don't think it's someone in SF.
Or maybe she's Magdalena, the pirate-wench.
I still don't think there's any reason to believe Santi will die, even if Ofelia did tell him he's bad. Parents chastise their children all the time - and this isn't Duelo (thank goodness).
Okay, here's my take on things...
Personally, I think Bouffy setting himself up to be the señor of San Fernando. He has married a woman for money, probably simply to sire an heir. Bouffy has openly speculated that Grita isn't good enough to be the wife of the next Señor. I'm betting he finds a way to do a way with Grita and then tries to set up Santi with Mani so that his bloodline is next in line for the Señor-ship. Somewhere he will discover that Mani and Ascanio are spending time together and it will go very badly for Mani. Hopefully he won't kill her, but I wouldn't put it past him.
I don't think Sofia is safe from his wrath. She has openly resisted him and if Jorge keeps thwarting him, he's not safe either.
If Bouffy believes Ric is dead, there is no reason to worry about Cami or her baby, from his vantage point. If he thinks Ric is alive, he's going to use the baby for leverage because he knows Ric will come looking for him with a vengence.
As for Justo. What an idiot and a hypocrite. When Vassco was out whoring all the time, he didn't stop his boy from going out. Justo just registered some relatively mild displeasure. If it is wrong for Cami to be pregnant by Ric, a man she actually loves, then he should have brought the hammer down on Vassco ages ago. They have monasteries for men too. If it not right for Cami to be pregnant and unmarried then it is not right for Vassco to be practicing marriage without a license. How does Justo think women get pregnant?
I also think Santi was way out of line with his mom by saying that she with held from him who his dad was and that justifies (justo-ifies) what they are doing to Cami. Ofelia was raped. Cami was not. To call those two situations the same is the height of hypocrisy.
Okay I have vented. I feel better. Lis is way out of her league. Her life officially stinks from here on out.

I really hope the speculations about poor Manuela are wrong. I want her to live happily ever after with Ascanio.
About Liz - I have to agree with those who said the beat down on the wedding was a bit much. Yes she's wretched and deserves the all the anvils she can get but being physically abused by Al pushes it for me.
I too want to see Ursula get Foreman.
Ascanio's long lost sister? Are we sure they knew each other past early childhood? If not, how 'bout Jimena? Perfect solution, methinks.
It'll really hurt my feelings if he dies.
Now that we're close to the end, I'm still pretty sure about all three, except now they are making Santi not-so-saintly, which means prediction #2 might be out the window. I still think, though, that letter-burying trick is her doom.
I have no idea why they're suddenly making Justo such a bad guy, but I suspect it might be a precursor to his doom, via a medical condition. He had a stroke once, perhaps he has a brain tumor that is now affecting his personality negatively.
Lis is bad news for sure, but no one deserves Bouffy as a punishment. Back at the beginning, I thought she'd end up with Santi. I still think it might happen. After all their trials and tribulations, they go back to being Good People, and end up together. I recall she loved the fire at the forge. Perhaps in the final reel he'll go back to that, hand over his title to Rico, and he and Lis live happily ever after?
As a former poster said, it's possible that one of Bouffy's smacks ends up restoring her sight? I think that's a very good prediction!
