Caray, Caray!

Hi everybody! This is maricruz your friendly substitute recapper. I’m sorry to tell you that I’m a little rusty and I have forgotten how long it takes to recap. Since I haven’t been able to finish and I know how much some of you enjoy reading your recaps on Sunday morning, I’m posting the first half right now and later when I’m done I’ll post the rest.
Thank you for your understanding

First part (SECOND PART IS UP)

Sara, tries to convince her “father” to forgive and forget, but her father is adamant, the guilty (his mother and brother) have to pay. Furthermore, he tells her that she can’t take anything from them, especially money. He tells her that he’ll provide for all her needs. Sara cries and begs to no avail.

Alonso calls a TV station that has a program that helps to reunite families. He talks to Julia Pedrero and explains that he wants her to help his girlfriend find her family.

Sara is leaving to go pick up her things. Since her father did not change his mind, she tries to convince her mother not to take legal action against her “grandma”, but her mother tells her that the decision has been taken and not to worry about it. Right then Julian and Lorena come back from the market. Zulema introduces Julian to Sara. Sara (over)reacts hugging her “brother” and Zulema is very happy that her children are finally reunited. She starts checking the things that Lorena and Julian bought. When she asks for an ingredient and says that she was told it was good, and Lorena replies that she doesn’t like it because it is too creamy, Julian comments that “wink, wink” they behave like mother and daughter. After checking everything Zulema realizes that there is a missing ingredient and goes with Julian to buy it. Lorena and Sara are left alone in the living room, and like the good stubborn girl that she is, Sara applies the broken record technique, this time with Lorena and asks her to please help her convince her parents not to act against her grandma. Lorena tells her that they deserve whatever they get and that she should be happy that she now has a family. Lorena confesses that she is worry because her father doesn’t want her to take money from rich grandma and that she was hoping to inherit because grandma has changed her will to include her.

Barbara comes to see Vasco to tell him about the fight between his father and Oscar. She tells him that it is his obligation to close ranks and rally round his dad, but Vasco doesn’t agree. He tells her that he won’t help and that he’ll respect his uncle decision.

Lorena and Sara argue. Lorena tells Sara that she should be happy that she recovered her parents and that she should be mad with her grandma because it is her fault that she (Sara) had to grow up as an orphan. Sara replies that she agrees that her grandma has to pay, but she prefers to get paid with money because “Las penas con pan son menos” (The grief is less when you have bread) and that she knows that her parents won’t be able to give her as much as her grandma could give her. Lorena gets angry at her friend and calls her ungrateful. Sara calls her a “stupidly naïve” girl that still believes in fairy tales. Lorena slaps her.

Sara leaves the house and once outside she tells to nobody that Lorena will pay for slapping her.

Hortensia and Jamie are talking about the next big event. Jaime has a bad feeling about it, but Hortensia tells him that everything will be ok. Jacky walks in and tells them that they are having some difficulties because Sara is not here. She tries to badmouth her but Hortencia stops her cold and tells her to tell it to somebody that cares. Jacky leaves.

Zulema and Lorena are talking about the chicken they just prepared. Zulema wants to know what other ingredients Lorena used. Lorena tells her that she used lettuce and anise. Julian is worried because nobody has called. They don’t understand what could have gone wrong, but mom dismisses Julian’s worries saying that it is still early. She is sure that God is blessing them, because they have recovered their missing daughter.

Alonso is talking to the TV producer. She says that she will help, but she can’t assure him that she’ll be able to find Lorena’s parents. He has to prepare her because even if they find them, her parents might not want to know about her. Alonso says that they have to risk it. He thanks the producer.

Rosi and Maruja are taking their therapy with Toribio. They argue and argue about who is at fault. Rosi says that it is her mother’s fault because she doesn’t let her have a boyfriend. She tells Toribio that she is sure her mother has a problem with men. Maruja says that it is Rosi’s fault because she is always getting involved with the wrong kind of guy. She accepts that she might have a problem with men, but all she wants to do is protect her daughter. Rosi tells her that just because she had a bad experience it doesn’t mean that Rosi will have the same problems, besides how come now she reacts to Julian like if she wanted him for herself? Maruja says that Rosi is mistaken; she is just trying to be nice to Julian because she doesn’t want to have more problems with Rosi, and Julian is such a nice boy. Rosi says “ni tanto que queme al santo ni tanto que no le alumbre” (It (a candle) shouldn’t be too close to burn the image or too far to not cast enough light to the image) She wants her mother to behave like any other mother, not hating her boyfriend, but not keeping them for herself either.

Paula is trying to access Dario’s bank account, because she is sure that he has a lot of money and she wants to have proof. She inputs the pin number, but it has been changed. She tries to figure it out, maybe Bettina’s b-date? No it is not it; maybe his lover’s name? No, that’s not either. She keeps on thinking and in doing so, she remembers that he wanted to go to Thailand with her. She inputs Thailand but alas that is not the password either, and now she is sad that she’ll never get to go to Thailand with him.

Arturo’s mom is feeding him. He is happy because mom’s food is better than street food and now that he can come at lunch time, he says that he’ll be here every day. His wife arrives and tells him that she didn’t know that he had enough time to come and eat. The nasty suegra answers that since he is his own boss now, he can do whatever he wants. Wife lets it go and changes subject. She asks how the business is doing. He says that it is better than ever. Wife tells him that she is glad that the business worked and she was mistaken when she thought that it wouldn’t work. Nasty suegra tells her that she is always mistaken and that she has never helped her husband. Wife retorts that she has helped her husband by working and supporting him (you go girl, tell her off!) but she says that she doesn’t want to argue and tells Arturo that she’ll serve him more food if he wants to. Arturo says he is finish and that he needs to go to sleep. Wife tells him that maybe he should go back to work, he says that no, he is done for the day. He leaves, and nasty suegra scolds wife because she doesn’t want her “baby” to rest.

Lorena, Zulema and Julian are very worried because nobody has called to ask about the food. Now they are sure that something is wrong. They have a lot of food and no clients to buy it.

Sara arrives to the clinic to talk to Alonso. She is crying and tells Alonso that Lorena slapped her. Alonso doesn’t understand why Lorena would do something like that. Sara tells him that maybe Lorena is jealous because she found her parents. Alonso has a flash back about Lorena crying because she wished that she had found her parents. Cara de impactado de Alonso.

Back to Lorena, Zulema and Julian. Zulema reads the flyer and realizes that the phone number in the flyer is wrong. It is a non-existent number. Now they are in big trouble, what are they going to do with all the food?

Sara opens the waterworks and cries to Alonso. She tells her that nobody understands her. All she wants is to have a united family. She doesn’t want grandma or uncle in jail, and the money… she wants it for her family, they need it and she can provide it now that she is included in the will. Alonso reluctantly agrees that Sara has a point there. Sara is soo happy that Alonso understands her and doesn’t judge her. She tells him he is a real friend.

2nd part

Alonso tries to apologize for Lorena. He tells her that Lorena loves her like a sister and tells her to remember that it was her (Lorena) who found out about Sara’s parents. He then tells her his “secret” about calling the program. Sara is not happy about it.

Julian calls himself a fool. They don’t know what they are going to do with the food. Lorena suggests donating it to an orphanage. Julian is worried because they lost a lot of money, and they won’t be able to recoup their investment. Sad faces all around.

Sara is worried and tries to point to Alonso how hard it will be to find Lorena’s parents. She tells him that the orphanage doesn’t have any info on her parents. (If Alonso were a little curious he would ask her how she knows that info, but alas he doesn’t) He tells her that everything is possible in TV land, besides he (Alonso) doesn’t have to do anything; it is the program that will do the entire dirty job. Then just to show us how clueless he is, he asks her if he can trust her. Sara says that he can trust her 100%

Back at the house of the doomed business, Zulema is happy because the food won’t go to waste and at least the orphans will have a nice meal. Julian is still mad at himself. Oscar arrives, he is very happy because he bought a bed for Sara and some furniture for the living room. He asks his wife how the business is doing. Zulema changes the topic of the conversation and asks him if he talked to Cipriano. Oscar tells her that Cipriano’s son will help them and they have an appointment for later (Question for everybody out there. Why do they need a lawyer to press charges against Hortencia and Jaime? Wouldn’t they just need to go to the police and accuse his mother and brother? Wouldn’t the police then investigate and press charges if they found out that there was a crime? Or is he trying to sue them? I thought he didn’t want the money…mmm wondering minds want to know…) any way, Zulema is worried about how much the lawyer will charge them. Oscar tells her not to worry he is hoping that the lawyer will take in consideration that they are his father’s neighbors and won’t charge them that much. (Ha! fat chance)

Clueless Alonso asked Sara to go with him to help him pick the engagement ring. He tells her that he wants the best because Lorena deserves it. Sara tells him that she is sure that Lorena will accept. A sales associate comes and tells Alonso that the ring they are looking at right now is the one that looks the best on her girlfriend’s hand (It may not be the best looking ring but I can bet that it IS the most expensive! :)) When Alonso corrects her, and tells her that Sara is not his girlfriend, the sales girls says that it is a shame they are not a couple, because they really look very cute together. Sara pouts and says that somebody else took him first.

Vasco is chastising Julian. He gives him a crash course on business 101. The golden rule on business management; don’t put all your eggs in just one basket. The problem wasn’t only the wrong number in the flyers; they didn’t promote the business any other way. Vasco tells him that what they need to get a client list. He tells him that he(Vasco) and Diana will create one with the names of all the people in their work place that are interested in having good food for lunch delivered to them. Julian is very happy with the idea.

Oscar and Zulema are talking to the lawyer, he tells them that their case is very complicated, especially if the daughter is not a minor, she could give testimony on favor of her grandma and could decide to go and live with her. Caras de impactados de Zulema and Oscar.

Sara is talking to Hortencia and Jaime. Hortencia tells Sara to convince her parents not to press charge against them. Sara tells Hortencia that she is doing everything in her power to prvent it, but her parents are very stubborn. Hortensia tells her to black mail them, to tell them that if they press charges she’ll stay with her grandma. Jaime can’t believe his ears. Sara likes the idea.

Alfonso is helping his father put on a tie, they remember Alfonso’s mother and how she was the one always helping him with the tie. Timoteo notices that Alfonso is nervous and that the table looks very nice. He asks him why. Alfonso tells him that he is proposing to Lorena today. Timoteo congratulates himself for having the man to man talk with him long time ago, now he doesn’t have to worry about him. Alonso just smiles.

Lorena is getting ready to go out. She tells Rosi that Alonso called her and was very mysterious. Rosi wishes her luck and hopes that what ever he has to tell her is good news. Maruja and Rosi leave.

Chalo is outside and calls Sara to let her know that Lorena is alone in the house. Sara tells him to proceed with the plan. Sara then calls Lorena and in a sickening syrupy fake girly voice, asks her to forgive her. Lorena tells her that she is the one that needs to ask for forgiveness. They kiss and make up and then Sara asks her if she can come right now. Lorena tells her that she is has a date with Alonso and that she is taking a taxi. Sara smiles her evil smile.

Jaime offers a drink to Hortencia, she declines telling him that she knows a lot of drunks that started with just one drink. She tells him to stop drinking because it bothers her. Jaime looks drunk (he has to be, I recon that’s the only way he would dare talk back to his mother) he tells her that it seems that all he does is to bother her. Sara comes with his baggage and tells her that she is ready to go. Hortencia tells her to take the car. Sara says that she’ll take a taxi. She cries a little more just for effect and tells them that she’ll miss them. Hortencia, always the charming caring grandmother, tells her that if she really loves her she better make sure that her parents forgive her. Sara tells her that she’ll do it.

Chalo goes to Lorena’s house and feigns being drunk. He is crying and tells her that he lost his job. Lorena tells him that he needs to leave, she has a date. Right then the phone rings and it is Alonso, when Chalo hears that it is Alonso he starts yelling. Alonso asks her what is going on. Lorena lies and tells him that it is the TV. He tells her to hurry up, but she tells Alonso that she is waiting for the taxi. She tells him that she’ll be there pretty soon. As soon as Alonso finishes his conversation with Lorena he receives a phone call from Sara. Sara tells him that she just talked to Lorena and noticed that she was very nervous; she tells him that she is worried for Lorena. She suggests that he needs to go and pick her up.

Back at Lorena’s, Chalo is giving the performance of the year, he cries and moans that everybody hates him. Lorena tells him to leave. He cries and tells her that she is his only friend and to please at least give him something for his indigestion. Lorena stomps out of the room to get him the medication.

Rosi and Julian are sitting at a restaurant. Julian looks pensive and Rosi wants to know what troubles him. He tells him that it is not only the problem with the business that bothers him; he finally tells her that he just found out that Sara is his half-sister.

Sara arrives to her “parents” house. Her mother is very happy. Zulema introduces her to Diana. Sara with her fake little voice tells her that she knows that they started on the wrong foot, but now she is willing to get know her. She hugs Diana. Diana looks unsure.

Back at Lorena’s, Chalo is sleeping in the sofa. Lorena tries to wake him up, but he won’t budge, she finally does the sensitive thing and empties the glass of water on his head. Chalo wakes up with a start and tells her that he is leaving but he needs a towel. Lorena gives him a towel and comes out to ask the taxi driver to please wait for her. When she is talking to him, Chalo comes out with the towel. Lorena is asking the cab driver to please take them first to her friend’s house when Alonso shows up. Lorena gets Chalo in the cab and hastily asks the cab driver to go. Alonso comes out of his car, he looks very angry he asks her what is going on. She explains everything, but he doesn’t believe her. He tells her that he doesn’t want to imagine what they were doing inside since Chalo came out with a towel. Sara looks hurt and frightened she tells him that he is offending her. Alonso tells him that he is just starting to know her and he doesn’t like what he is seeing. He brakes up with her.

The end.
