Guapos: Monday 5/19/08- "Let's mourn together"

Damian is telling Hugo that Luciana will be giving Hugo her shares of the company to run. Hugo questions why she is giving him control of 20% of the company instead of giving it to her son, Alejandro. Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, Hugo is pleased that he’ll be near Al. Damian is concerned that his son will be swayed by his nephew’s charms like he was when they were younger, but Hugo assures his father that he wants to be near Alejandro because he intends to destroy him.

Luci pumps Bobby for info on what’s going on with Al. Bobby says he’s not going to betray his friend. Luci begs, she knows something is wrong, but Al won’t talk to her about it. She’s never seen him suffer so much before. Bobby agrees, but is hesitant to talk about his best friend, so instead he tells Luci if she wants to worry, she should be looking at Valeria. Luci questions this and Bobby tells her that Val’s in looooove with the chauffer.

We switch to Rocky and Val out by the fountain. The declare that they are novios and Val gives Rocky a kiss and teases him that if he wants more he’s going to have to catch her. They playfully run around outside.

Luci tells Bobby that he’s nuts, there is no way her daughter would be messing around with the chauffer. Just then, Val and Rocky bring their game of chase into the house and Luci sees them together and proceeds to faint.

Mili is with Regina at the hospital. Regina wakes and tells Mili that she dreamed that Constancio was there and asking for forgiveness. Mili assures her it wasn’t a dream and Regina comments that it means a lot and she loves her son. Then she tells Mili that she doesn’t want her to cry, but she’s going. Mili asks her where and Regina says Heaven I hope. Mili doesn’t want to hear this, but Regina tells her she’s dying. She asks Mili to let her go, she is at peace. There is one thing, however, she wants Mili to do, to hold her hand and don’t leave her alone. Mili obliges and the tears start pouring (not only from Mili, but from me too). Regina confides in Mili that she is leaving this world with only one sadness, that she never found her grandchild, never had a chance to see Rosario’s child. Mili tells her that’s not true, that she is indeed Rosario’s daughter. She shows her the medallion and the photo that the mother superior gave her. This convinces Regina, who is happy and tells Mili that her heart didn’t deceive her, it always knew the truth. Regina proclaims the greatness of God in reuniting her with Mili. She begins to thank him for such happiness, and then she collapses back on the bed. Regina dies and Mili goes into hysterics. She begs her abuela not to go……..don’t leave. Mili says she doesn’t want to lose her too. The medical staff comes into the room and they proclaim the time of death as 10:30pm. (Ed. note--even though they've been leading up to this for weeks, I still was shocked they killed her off. I'm really going to miss Regina. She was a great lady---very elegant and distinguished.)

Braulio and Bobby help Luci wake up and get her back on her feet. Luci demands to see Rocky and Valeria in the study. She demands that Val tell her the truth---is she in love with the chauffer. Val acts aghast and both she and Rocky start to laugh. Val says mommy how can you think I’d be in love with this naco. Rocky calmly asks if he should go out to the garden before killing himself or would it be best to do it right there…..then he says that Luci probably doesn’t want him to dirty the carpet.

Mili questions God and why he would take Regina from her. She feels great resentment toward Connie and blames him for the suffering that Regina had to endure. He knew that Mili was her grandchild and he didn’t tell her. Mili swears that Connie will pay for this. The nurse finds Mili ranting and offers her some tranquilizers, but Mili refuses.

Val tells Luci that nothing’s going on with Rocky, he’s just teaching her a new dance, the puma. The two then impromptu perform "the dance" for Luci. Val assures her mother that it really is a great workout….like Zumba it burns a lot of calories. Luci falls for it and Val gets Rocky to leave the room, now that the situation seems diffused.

In his room, Al cries over Mili. He doesn’t understand what’s going on…she says she doesn’t love him but her eyes don’t lie….they say she loves him.

Lina, Gloria, and Karla are in the dorm and they rehash the recent goings-on. Karla finds out that Mili is to be adopted by Regina and that Mili’s being moved into the guest room. Al shows up, kicks Karla out and then breaks down in front of Gloria and Lina. The girls assure him that Regina will recover soon and then he and Mili can get married. Al asks the girls why Mili would say she doesn’t love him. They both seem shocked by this and tell him that Mili loves him more than anything.

Karla goes to Damian to confirm the news she heard about Mili. He says yep it’s true and Karla is upset that she’ll have to be taking orders from Mili. Damian tells her that she’s still a servant with privileges, and he makes a move on her. Karla isn’t in the mood and she goes stomping out.

Al tells the girls that Mili won’t talk to him and he needs to find out what’s happening. He lets them know that Mili’s rejected him. The girls can’t believe it and vow that they will talk to her and get to the bottom of it all. They both give Al a hug.

Braulio arranges Mili’s stuff in the guest room. He places photographs by the bed---one of Regina, one of Rosario, and one of himself. He mumbles about how Rosario’s daughter has finally been given her rightful place and how he still blames Connie for Rosario’s death.

Andrea consoles Connie while they are in bed. Connie seems distracted and he says he’s wondering about Mili’s attitude. He questions if it is possible that she’s found out the truth about him being her father. Connie decides to not return home and instead will spend the night with Andrea. She thought bubbles that she wonders if Luci would have told Mili the truth in order to stop the wedding.

Karla goes to the guest room and trashes it like she’s a rock star in a hotel room. She rants about how she hates Mili and how Mili doesn’t deserve this good fortune.

Mili calls Al and tells him about Regina.

Al, Hugo, Val, Luci, and Damian arrive at the hospital. Ruben (the doctor) is consoling Mili, but she runs to Hugo when he arrives. Damian asks what happened, it seemed like Regina was getting better. Ruben tells him that sometimes patients will appear to get better, and that they do rally some strength and they say their goodbyes and then they succumb to their infirmity. Val questions if Connie knows that his mother has passed away. Luci says she’ll go track him down. Hugo and Damian go to make arrangements for Regina. Val gets Ruben to take her to see Regina. Mili and Al are left alone.

Luci calls Andrea’s looking for Connie. Andrea pretends he’s not there and Luci tells her to cut the bull and put him on the phone. Connie is perturbed that Luci’s bothering him. She minces no words and bluntly tells him that Regina has died.

Al tells Mili he can’t believe she’s gone….Regina was his only refuge, the only one who understood him. Mili runs to him and they hug each other in their shared grief.

Val, in with Regina, tells her abuela that she’s never going to forget their last conversation. She promises that she’s going to change and fight for love so she can truly be happy. She swears she’ll make Regina proud of her.

Back at the mansion the staff is gathered. They are all crying over the loss of Regina. Rocky wishes he could be with Val and comfort her. Braulio tells the staff that they’ll need to be strong. He ends up breaking down as he says they’ll never forget her and Regina will always be in their hearts and their memories. Horacio laments over Mili, it is like she’s lost a mother all over again. Karla comes in and wants to know why they are acting like they’re at a funeral. She gets informed of Regina’s death and she seems happy. Socorrito questions her daughter’s attitude and Karla says she’s not happy that Regina’s passed away, but now Mili doesn’t have a protector and for sure Connie and Luci will be tossing her out on her ear tomorrow. Brau tells Karla that she’s mistaken if she thinks that Mili is alone.

Al thanks Mili for her support. Mili tells him that Regina was very proud of him and that she loved him immensely. Al says that she felt the same about Mili. He says that Regina always dreamed that the two of them would be married because she always wanted them together. Mili says that would be a big mistake. Al says it would never be a mistake and why are you talking this way when I need you the most. He says he loves her, knows that she loves him, and can’t understand why she’s denying it. He goes in for a kiss and Mili freaks. She demands that he never, never try to kiss her. Luci overhears this and interrupts and urges Mili to tell Al the truth. Al questions what’s going on.

Connie and Andrea are rushing to the hospital, with Connie driving (Andrea should have known better, but just because she’s devious doesn’t mean that she's got common sense). Connie feels terrible that he never let Regina know the truth about Mili being her granddaughter. He says he’s disgraceful and how can he ever live with knowing he denied his mother time with her grandchild.

Luci says go ahead and tell him Mili, what you told me about only being interested in his money. Al orders his mother to shut up. Luci, in full biz-nitch mode, tells him that now that Mili’s been adopted and has access to Regina’s money she no longer needs Al. He insists that Mili isn’t that kind of person. Mili says, oh I’m worse. "How could you ever think I was interested in you? It was your money that caught my eye. I never loved you….it was all a cruel joke." END OF EPISODE

Comments:
I don't even know what to say. I am ferklempt. The writers have really played a dirty trick on us. Cathy, thanks for taking on the difficult job of recapping this awful episode.
 

Cathy: Good morning, and thank you for recapping this action-packed episode.

One thing I thought was humerous during this otherwise tear-jerking chapter happened when Morgan and Val were trying to explain away their "relationship", or lack of one, under intense questioning, Rocky/Morgan couldn't think of an answer fast enough, so he says something like, "Do you want me to kill myself here or go out in the garden to do it?" That subject is never funny - just the way he said it.

Oh, what pain lies ahead for Mili. Hugo, why did you return? I don't see anything good in him at all. He's creepy, with his big lying mouth, etc. Al gets the sympathy vote today, but, we all know that won't last long.

We've been seeing way too much of Luci. Hope we'll be seeing her on her way down. Somehow Consti has to find courage and character. What a jerk!

From lower Ala
 

This was an emotional episode to watch. I cried too when Regina dies. I was glad that she find out that Mili was really her granddaughter. This is one thing I wanted the writers to accomphished before Regina dies. I am too sorry that Regina had to die. I just hoped that she spent more time with Mili as her granddaughter before she went.
I am glad that Consti is suffering because he didn't tell his mother that Mili was his daughter. He needs to suffer for this and many more things that he committed.
I am surprised that Alejandro hasn't been told that Mili is his sister. I thought it was cruel to let him hang like this where he doesn't know what is going on.
Luci need her own worst hell that she can't get out of. She thinks she is in hell now wait until she is in something worst.
One last thing I would like to comment is that the actress Allison did a great job in performing these emotional scenes. In the past, I wasn't thinking highly of her, but now I am thinking she is doing a good job. Keep up the good work - Allison.
 

I spent most of the weekend getting caught back up on the last couple of weeks. I was going to say that it's less painful and moves faster to watch several episodes at once, but no!

Last night made up for it, though. Poor Regina! I didn't think we'd lose her this soon.
 

Lord what a difficult episode. So much suffering and that cold b**ch Luci forcing Mili to tell Al that terrible lie. I just hope that the truth comes out fast because there is no need for this to go on. I wonder how he will learn the truth about Mili. As for Luci there can't be enough suffering for her as far as I'm concerned. Just wait until Al finds out the truth about himself. I hope he rejects her totally.

So right that idiot Andrea letting a distraught Connie, crying and driving in Mexico City traffic. Talk about having a death wish. Can't wait to see what happens when he and Mili come face to face.

I actually also thought Braulio felt bad about not having told Regina about Mili. At this point only Mili knows that Regina died knowing the truth and happy. The rest of the liars and schemers will just have to regret their silence, as if some of them would.

Karl will live to regret her actions I hope. Let's see Mili the owner of the house - I'd order Karla to pack her bags, Connie's and Luci's and have them outside the front door within minutes of the will being read. My brother and sister could stay. Too bad Mili has such a soft heart because she won't.

Oh and Guapos officially ends in Mexico on Jun 27 so we know we have much more suffering and hopefully some laughs before our end in October.
 

It was a very sad episode indeed, did I miss something? What did she actually die from, other than being killed a little each day by her AssHat (not you, lil Mili) relatives? Consti can never be redeemed, he let his Ma die without ever knowing the truth. Well we know she knew, no thanks to him...
Now then, will Brau let lil Mili die from a broken heart or will he reveal the truth about Al? Cause I say after the Luci debacle all bets are off.
 

Oh, wow. This episode was really sad. Lots of terrific performances, but that was the only comfort.

I also was wondering about why Braulio didn't think of Regina's not having been told about Mili being her granddaughter. Oh well, at least we know Mili told her at the very last minute.
 

Back when Braulio found out the truth about Mili he swore he would not tell Regina until she was dying as he also blamed her for what happen to Rosario. He wasn't in the hospital so never had the chance to tll her.

As for how Regina died, she had heart surgery and just never recovered. Believe me it happens, that's how I lost my husband. We knew that she had had a bad heart for sometimes. And for the Connie haters don't forget that he provoked her last attack in the house when he screamed at her for adopting mili and said she should be in a manicomio. Of course the instant she collapsed he was contrite as he was in his scenes in the hospital when even mili was touched while at the same time hating his guts.
 

Welcome back, 5ft. I hope your vacation was fun. You certainly picked a terrible time to re-enter the situation. When you left we had a comedy, and now we have a tragedy.

But I thought last night's dancing sequence with Val and Morgan was very funny.
 

Alright Nina and Maggie...you told me to hang in there and ay yi yi...what a painful episode!!! And since I already have a sore throat and swollen glands, when I choked up during the hospital/Regina dying scene, I thought I might be going to meet my Maker myself. Oh the pain...physical and emotional.

I guess what I hated the most was the gratuitous cruelty of Mili pretending to Alejandro that she was only interested in his money. Unconscionable at any time, but while he's grieving the loss of his grandmother, oh my....

And I thought this was a comedy...

I WAS impressed with Snotty Spice's dancing ability, her leaps around the fountain and her high kicks...she's obviously had a lot of formal training.

Now excuse me while I go down a half bottle of tequila.
 

Decie girl – I was remembering that Braulio said he would tell Regina only on her deathbed, so I was wondering why he hadn’t had a guilt attack about it last night. Maybe that’s still coming up.

I was so down about Regina and all the rest that I forgot to say thank you for the great recap!

JudyB - when I was watching the scenes where Regina dies, I was thinking uh oh! We're going to lose JudyB now! I agree - that was just too harsh, Mili piling more pain on Alex...
 

Ah, what a tangled web they weave. Kudos to Cathy for typing this all up without shorting the computer with her tears. This was a five hankie episode for me!

I know their logic is utterly twisted, but both Luci and Mili believe Al will be better off thinking Mili used him rather than thinking he's an incestuous letch. Either way, they had to tell him something lest he try to seduce our young heroine (ok, Mili did, Luci the loca knew better and has a special place in hell for all the pain she's causing her own son).

I will laugh as irony gives Luci a big slap in the face after they read Regi's will. Will she fill in Mili on the rest of the secret (obviously making her swear she won't tell Al) so her son can have Regi's money, or will she continue her twisted matchmaking deciding that they'll make up the money with Domingo and his mafia? If Connie has any shame left, he will do nothing to contest the will and actually do one thing his mamma wanted. I still want to know what they'll do about the whole marriage clause... Hopefully they'll reveal it today 'cause I don't know how long I can wait for that answer before I start hyperventilating. I really need a life!!!!

That "puma" dance was the comic relief we needed in this weighty episode. Maybe Val and Rocky will pull off the secret wedding that Al and Mili hoped for. Then Luci can have an embolism, one that wont kill her, just leave her paralyzed or something... She needs to go slowly and painfully for being so eeeevil.

I actually hope Brau and Mili take their sweet time telling Connie that Mili knows the truth, so the guilt can whittle at him for a while. Brau had actually told Mili that she should tell Regi the truth, and probably hopes Mili got a chance to tell gran before she kicked the bucket.
 

Thanks Cathy, wonderful recap.

Not so long ago on this very blog I wrote that I don’t get too wrapped up in characters on telenovelas. Well, apparently now I must recant. Fifteen minutes into this episode I had a pile of wet Kleenex sitting by me. Wow. I had a hard time being interested in Val and Rocky I was so bummed out.

I hated Mili’s lie to Alejandro. The only acceptable excuse is her age, but still I wanted to reach through the screen and shake her.

I had forgotten that Regina asked Alejandro to look for her grandchild. With the motivation of fulfilling his grandmother’s dying wish I think Alex might find out the truth about Mili himself. And I know we have a long ways to go, but I can’t believe that Nestor will be willing or able to keep his secret for long. And then there’s Braulio. Is he going to tell or will his resentment of Al override his desire to stop Mili from hurting? So many ways the truth can come out.
 

Wow! I agree with what's been said, this was a sad episode. But great acting by the acress who plays Mili.
 

would anyone know name of funeral music played for Regina in church on Tuesday nights airing?

thanks
