Guapos: Monday 6/9/08- "If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with....."

Part One:

Karla and Constancio are in the garden and he’s trying to get more info from her on Damian. He tells her that Damian’s been behaving too well lately and that most definitely is a sign that he’s up to something. He asks Karla to keep an eye on him, easy to do when she’s messing around in his bed. Karla asks her boss if he thinks she’s some kind of slut and he says he doesn’t think, he knows.

Hugo goes in to see Mili and he can tell she’s extremely upset. He tells her that he loves her more than anything and he wants to marry her. However, nothing would make him happier than see her happy. He says that Al loves her too, and since he can see that the both of them (Al and Mili) are suffering equally they obviously should be together. Mili says that Hugo doesn’t understand and Hugo goes on to say that he doesn’t want to make the same mistakes he did before, so he’s releasing Mili, he’s breaking up with her so she can be with Al. Mili tries to explain to Hugo that she and Al can NEVER be together. Hugo won’t hear it, Mili adores Al and he, well Hugo’s never seen him so bad. Mili assures Hugo that their sadness will pass with time, and again they can never be together. She begs Hugo to help her, to help her forget and to not leave her alone. Hugo urges Mili to work things out with Al and she says there is nothing to work out. H-“You ask me to be at your side, all they while you are thinking of another man. Every time I would hug you or kiss you, you would be thinking of him. He would be in your heart. How is that fair to me, Mili? How is that fair?” Mili says she knows that it isn’t fair, but Hugo knows that Mili loved Al, but she needs to forget him. Hugo again asks for her to explain things, he needs to understand what is happening. At this moment Braulio comes into the room. He’s wanting to know if Mili’s up to going out dancing. At first she doesn’t quite catch on that Brau wants to go to the club too. Once she figures this out, she thinks it would be a great diversion. She tells Brau to get dressed and they can go. She asks Hugo to join them and he agrees, but he tells Mili that they aren’t done talking.

Braulio gets all cowboyed up and Hugo is surprised to see the majordomo’s outfit. He never imagined that Brau could kick back and have fun. Hugo thought that Brau lived for work. Just then Mateo arrives and Braulio informs him that Mili’s on her way out with her boyfriend. Mateo says, “Al?” and Braulio takes delight in saying, “Nope, Hugo.” Hugo’s in the background with a Cheshire grin on his face.

Al is moping in his room and Mili comes in, all duded up in her evening attire. She asks Al how he’s doing and says she suspects he’s about as good as her, eyes all squinty from crying. He says he knows that she and Hugo are now a couple and she fills him in on Hugo breaking up with her. Al says if Hugo broke up with her it is because he really loves her and that he’s going to have a talk with his cousin. Mili asks how things are with Florencia. Al says they will go ahead and get married. Mili asks if he’ll move far away. “Yes.” Al replies as he reaches for her hand. “It is the only way because I’m afraid to be near you, I have to forget you or I’ll do something crazy.” He leans in for a kiss and she leans in a little, but ends up jumping away. She invites him to join them for dancing at Rodeo. Al isn’t in the mood. Mili tells him he needs to come alive and he should invite Flo to come too. She says that Hugo’s coming and Flo and Hugo both need to see that there is nothing more between the two of them. She says they’ll see we love each other, but now it is different than before, now it is more like love between siblings. Al says he doesn’t want to be siblings and that he doesn’t feel anything for Flo. He tells Mili it will hurt to see her with Hugo. She tells him “ We have to learn to live together” and he ends up agreeing to come along. She leaves and he places a phone call.

At Flo’s and Marisela’s, Bobby is making out with the latter on the couch while the phone rings. He asks if she’s going to answer and she says Flo can get it. Flo comes out and tells Marisela that it was Al and they are going to the Rodeo. Bobby questions if that means he has to go too and Marisela jokes that the four of them are together enough they should have a double wedding.

In the foyer of the Belmonte mansion, Hugo and Mateo have a face off. Mili comes down and Mateo lets her know that he’s just heard she and Hugo are dating. She says au contraire, he just broke up with me. Hugo frantically tries to straighten out the situation, but no one listens. Mili invites Mateo to join them at the Rodeo and he readily agrees.

At the Rodeo the usuals are all there. Gloria is dancing with Chamuco and Lina is scoping out the man action. Mili and crew arrive and Braulio immediately searches out Pedro. Pedro’s busy, but he gets Brau a drink on the house. Al doesn’t like being there and wants to go. He tells Mili it isn’t easy and before she can reply, Flo comes up and insists on dancing with HER boyfriend. Mili pulls her aside and says put away your nails, I don’t want to fight with you. She asks Flo to do her a favor, to make sure that Al is happy. M-“Promise me you’ll make him happy, he deserves it.” Hugo overhears and asks why Mili did that. She avoids answering by getting Hugo to dance.
Socorrito remembers seeing Karla with Connie and how she ended up slapping her daughter. She marches up to Luciana’s room and tells her boss that she needs to keep her husband away from her daughter.

Luci and Soco go searching out Karla and find her and Damian in a compromising position in the dormitory. Damian does a pathetic job of trying to cover saying something about Karla ironing his shirts. The two women don't buy it and Luci goes ballistic on Karla, slapping her and ordering her out of the mansion.

Rocky is at Rodeo, wondering if Val had the chance to sneak out of the house. Gloria and Chamuco have a conversation about when they’ll get married and she’s none to happy about his ten year plan. Lina spots Bobby kissing Marisela and she accepts a dance from a groper. Bobby sees her getting her butt grabbed and tries to help. She tells him to mind his own business, but then tells the groper to get lost. She bumps into Mateo’s friend, who asks if she’s alone and she says yes, but not as alone as I was this morning. The two go off to dance together.

Hugo tells Al he’s never seen Mili so sad. Al says he’s going to marry Flo. Hugo wonders what is going on between the two of them. Al doesn’t answer, but tells Hugo to keep Mili away from Mateo. Hugo tells Al what happened earlier in the foyer and Al says he’s got a plan for Hugo to win Mili over.

Mateo’s friend tells Mateo that he’s hooking up with Lina. Mateo reminds him that she’s just a servant. MF says that he’s not looking to find the mother of his children, he’s just looking for a good time.

Al tells Mateo to keep away from Mili. Meanwhile, Braulio gets drunk. Hugo takes the stage and sings to Mili. During the song, Mateo looks extremely ticked off and Mili and Al keep sending glances in each other’s direction.

Part Two

Karla tells Luci that her mother is crazy, there is absolutely nothing going on between her and Connie, at least not in a sexual way. Connie’s been giving her money in order to keep her quiet about some pictures of him and Andrea in compromising positions. Luci, knowing that Karla sings faster than drunk on Karaoke night, starts to believe her, but wanting to save on the household budget tells the two women that their raises have now been rescinded. Luci leaves with that and Soco tries to apologize to Karla. Karla wants nothing to do with her mother---she tells her that she wishes she were an orphan like Mili.

Connie and Andrea have some conversation about Luci not being able to blackmail them, but I didn’t catch it all. Anyway, Connie says he’s more concerned about Damian because he’s been quiet lately and that means something’s up. He tells Andrea to keep her eye on him around the office and see what she can find out--leaving the fox in charge of the hen house.

Al continues to warn Mateo to keep his distance from Mili, but Mateo says he knows that Hugo broke it off, so he’s got a clear path- Mili's open and available.

It is the next day and Braulio delivers and envelope to Connie, it is from the bank in the Caymans. Connie opens it up and the statement shows funds, a lot of funds, have been withdrawn from the account. Connie calls the bank, and it seems got a real live person right away---only to find out that his PIN number was used to authorize the transfer into another account. And who’s account would that be? he asks. It’s Hugo’s. Connie orders Braulio to send Hugo down to the study, immediately.

Al goes to visit Mateo’s grandpa. He wants to let the old man know that Mateo is sniffing after Mili and he doesn’t like it one bit. Neither does the old man. Grandpa promises that Mateo won’t bother Mili anymore, and he starts to say a bit too much about the will's stipulation but cuts himself off before he reveals too much. Al senses there’s more and tries to find out, but Grandpa’s not saying any more other than he’ll make sure that Mateo leaves Mili alone.

Mili finds Connie waiting in the foyer for Hugo. She asks him is there’s been any news from the detective about her father. Connie, uncomfortable, tells her no, there is no news. She wonders if the detective is any good and Connie says it’s just that her father is difficult to find. Hugo arrives downstairs and this brings Mili and Connie’s conversation to an end. Uncle and nephew head to the office and the doorbell rings----it’s Mateo. He’s offering Mili a ride to school.

In the office, Hugo tells his uncle that he has no idea what he’s talking about. Connie tries to make it clearer---where’s the money? Again, Hugo says he has no idea what Connie’s talking about. Connie congratulates Hugo on having the same face as his father, and compares his lying ability. Connie makes it a little clearer, he asks Hugo about the money in his Swiss bank account. Oh that, Hugo replies, my dad gave that money to me. Where did the money come from? Connie asks. Hugo answers that it is part of his inheritance from his mother. Tell me more, Connie adds, I'm all ears.

Rocky comes to the mansion and is disguised as an exterminator. He’s determined to see Val. The kitchen staff is willing to help him, but they are worried he’ll get caught. Braulio walks into the kitchen and questions the man in the mask. Brau discovers it is Rocky and he’s insistent the Rocky leave. Then Lina and Gloria bring Val to the kitchen and she’s ecstatic to see Rocky. Brau says he won’t permit this and Val begs him to keep the secret. Luci comes into the kitchen and the women hide Rocky behind them, but Luci spots the man in the mask and wants to know what’s going on. Brau tells her they have a slight roach problem and he’s the exterminator. Luci freaks and Soco eggs her on by questioning if a roach just ran passed them.

Al’s at Bobby’s. He’s telling his best friend that he and Mili are broken up for good. Bobby says are you sure and Al insists it’s for real. Bobby says it is best for both of them. Al confesses to Bobby that he and Mili are siblings and by Bobby’s reaction he knows his friend already knew. Al demands to know why Bobby didn’t say anything, finding this out is destroying me and you said nothing. Bobby asks for forgiveness.


Hugo tells Connie that he’ll give the money back, of course. Connie says not to say anything to Damian because he’s going to use this as a chance to teach Damian a lesson….a couple years in the pen will really teach him. Hugo is impactado and END OF EPISODE.

Thanks for the half recap so far, Cathy, as I missed some of this. You should send your picture for the sidebar too!

I am getting worried about Lina. I hope those guys don't take advantage of her.

I enjoyed Hugo's singing to my surprise. He's another one of these singing/acting wunderkinder.

Luci really gave Karla quite a slap. They really ramp up the sound effects for the slaps and punches.
 

Thank you so much for this great part I of your recap and all the detail. Once again, our station here in L.A. didn't have captions and I was pretty lost. I look forward to part II!
 

Why was Braulio getting so drunk? Was it because his novio was ignoring him?
 

Thanks Cathy...I too missed most of this, and honestly, it's getting so goshdarned painful, I'm not exactly sorry.

I fear our two star-crossed lovers are going to be apart and in loveless-but-eventually-doomed relationships for some time.

SIGH.

And I'll ditto Nina's comment...would love to see your and 5 ft Latina's photos on the
sidebar.
 

odd - when I tried to post it said it was a duplicate action. What's up with that?
I'll try again:
I think that Braulio was being totally blown off by the bar owner - sad. Also, I thought the Braulio actor made a more convincing drunk that the Luci actress does!
 

I haven’t watched this episode yet…so maybe I’m wrong, but Braulio could be learning to loosen up and enjoy himself. And he can’t expect Pedro to neglect his job and customers to hang on him after one date. Anyway I think that Brualio needs someone more sophisticated. For you Fea fans, he needs someone like Luigi’s boyfriend, Rulli.

I wish Milli would go with Val to that modeling school in Paris and do some growing up. I mean why does she need to choose Hugo or Matt. I’d tell them both to take a hike. What’s the rush.

Jewels
 

Jewels, Maybe Braulio does need someone like Rulli but wouldn't it be a hoot to see him and Lugi going at it.

I too wish that mili would go to Paris with Val. She could use the time away from the sick Belmonte dynamics and the polish and sophistication would do her good. Alas I'm sure she'll stay and make the bad marriage with Hugo. Didn't the previews indicate that she is going to learn what a rat bastard Mat is and he will be gone from the scene. Praise the Lord.

I loved the Bobby scenes with Lina. He jumps in to protect her from the groper but then was upset watching her dance with guy. Lina interests him more then he knows and I think they make a much better pair then sucky lips Marisela MP number 2.

I still don't get why the adulterous Luci gets so upset at the idea that connie may be having a fling with Karla. Maybe it's just because, God forbid, she is another servant. And who didn't get a hoot when Connie told Karla that he didn't think she was a slut he knew it.
 

Sorry it took longer for me to post this than I expected.

Isn't it sad to say I feel Al and Mili's love more now that they are apart than I did when they were together. Of course, their breaking up every other episode probably had a lot to do with that.

As for the picture, I was just thinking about that today. I've got to get one sent in, I'll put it on my to-do list.
 

Cathy - this is great! Now I get what was going on. Thank you again! The detail is really appreciated.
 

Thanks for part II. I missed whole swaths of this while doing something else.
 

Loved that retro exterminator getup. If anyone has been watching Fuego, you will agree that the exterminator costume would be great for Abuelo.
