Caray, Caray!

No recap of the recap. Seeing last night’s chapter once was enough. And as far as tonight’s episode is concerned, I hope we don’t have to suffer through another ghost whimperer scene. Thanks to the person who coined that phrase.

Gardenia, in a fury pulls “the box” out of the black bag.

The music plays on and the brothers Elizalde work their magic and charm on the crowd, especially Ms. Lovely. Steve charms Ani and Pris, especially her green eyes – or as Steve says, her eyes are the color of the sea and advises Ani to compliment her every day. Smirk, smirk.

Gardenia throws the letters on Ed’s bed to scare Erika?

Erika and Ed continue dancing. Erika wants Franco to get rid of Gardenia?? And then says kiss me, kiss me, and thankfully, the lights go out. Fer looks at Ed, Barb looks at Fer, everybody looks at everybody. Ed announces a special dance – men and women next to each other. Guess what? Ed and Fer end up together. I think I hear David Bisbal singing in the background, but it’s just my imagination. This couple is hot. Feel the flames and the fire. He pulls her closer and it looks like her hair keeps falling down a little bit. Damian looks at them and like the animal he is, smells trouble. They do not exchange words, just looks and mental telepathic carnal thoughts.

Camilo, who doesn’t look as orange as usual has walked Lovely out to the patio to exchange niceties. His lips don’t look as pink. He must have left the Tangee at home. For you younguns, Tangee was a lipstick we used to use in the cave era. It changed colors depending upon the wearer. Lovely knows how to handle him. What a line – he sees her as the mother of his children. The bar girl in Lovely comes out and she laughs in his face.

Fer and FrEd now speak. She wants to know about the “woman” and he says their kisses meant nothing. She says she arrived at the same conclusion. He says he was stupid because she never hid the fact that she was married.

Once again, Aurora is washing what is supposed to be blood off the walls and is making a fine mess of it. This would be the perfect time to call Santiago. Where is that hippie wannabe when you need him?

Erika bubbles over at Damian. Dam is interested in her wedding – like when. She tells him that it is going to be a long formal affair. It will make Damian so very happy to see them married.

Fer asks FrEd if maybe he might have advised her beforehand. He says kissing her was a mistake. He said he took liberties with her. Fer says, know what – what happened between you and me – my marriage really doesn’t exist. But FrEd says – it might be reconciled.

Camilo continues trying to work the working girl. She tells him Steve is a little jealous. Camilo wants more time to get to know her. He keeps telling her that she is very special. He invites Lovely to horseback ride. Steve salutes her from the background.

Fer worries about her family – FrEd says why. The brief encounter they had will not affect business. It was just a brief fling between two adults – just a few kisses. She says you got that right, Franco. Erika continues her brainless chatter. Ed looks angry.

Cam tells Lovely he’s serious. He has the feeling he’s seen her before – maybe in his dreams. She has a moment of caution. But, we know Camilo is too stupid to think too deeply about anything. She says, give me your number and I’ll call you. He wants her number. She says, No. She’s got her lines down. Steve comes upon them and wants to know what’s happening. He’ll wait for her inside.

The dance floor is getting crowded. Damian escorts Fer to a table and kisses her. Why doesn’t she just slap him. Barb and Gonzo get ready to leave and say goodbye to Erika and Ed. She brings up the engagement and says she knows more about weddings than anybody. Good night and good riddance, Bar.

Erika wants to know why Dam and Fer are leaving so soon. Damian is beside himself with joy at seeing Erika and Franco together. Erika knows Fer is sad. Franco says he hopes Fer enjoys married life. I must say, FrEd is acting like a jerk. Fer suffers while Ed acts like an adolescent.

Erika’s mother and father are jumping with joy over Erika’s engagement. Ani and Pris also say good night. As they are leaving, Damian stops them. Fer says they are husband and wife, not just business associates. Dam whispers in Pris’s ear that he sends his regards to Vladi.

Lovely says she has good manners and will not give Cam her number because she’s a high fallutin root ‘n tootin well educated woman even though she really wants to see him. That makes him happy.

Back at the Elizalde hacienda, Gonzo remarks that Franco is the partner they’ve been waiting for. He’s their guarantor. She says, yes, while he’s on our side. Shrewd Bar knows that in business things change. And, poor Bar is worried about our little Lily. Gonzo is ready to put up whatever it takes to get Lili back. She’s got him all worried, maybe he’ll have a coronary. Maybe she’s found another way to get money out of him.

Erika’s mom and dad are leaving. They are overjoyed at her extraordinary luck.

Dam stops the car and Fer asks why. He wants to thank her for tonight, for going to the party together. He’s anxious to seal this deal, and he thinks that making love to her is like sending a thank you card. She still isn’t ready. His return was too sudden. He sort of understands but is desperate. He notes that she has changed. He’s really grasping at straws, but she’s not convinced. She wants to move ahead. He says she has destroyed their marriage because she doesn’t trust him. Her mind has been poisoned. He still claims innocence, and he’s going to win her over. It’s the only thing that’s important to him. Fer may end up being a 40-year old virgin.

Cam compliments Steve on the party. Steve confirms with Cam that Cam had a good time. He sees another opportunity to grab Lovely. Steve and FrEd are delighted. Cam also takes the opportunity to trash that Indian Jacinto who stole his car and has no respect for the upper class. Caray – Cam wants to say goodbye to Lovely. She’s left already.

In the foyer, Barb sees Aurora and wants to know if something is wrong. No, says Abora. Bar says she’ll prepare some milk for her and that she should go upstairs.

Steve takes a picture of the wait staff, also known as the Arabian knights, and thanks them for their good work. FrEd and Steve and Lovely review the night’s success. Steve says Lovely is the best actress. Steve says that Lili and Martina are waiting. Lovely and Steve leave. FrEd is left in the middle of the dance floor to ponder this night.

Aurora is hysterical when Barb enters her room. Something horrible happened. Bar wants all the details. Barb believes her, but somehow Abora managed to wash the nasty message off the wall, and she doesn’t want Santi to find out. The editor thinks Aurora doesn’t want Santiago to find out she’s crazy. Barb wants to find out if Abora told Rosenda everything. She wants Abora to see Rosenda again. Aurora, the imbecile, agrees. This is the lamest plot line.

Ed goes into his bedroom and sees the letters on the bed. He picks them up and begins to look them over. He opens one, reads it, and hears the childish voice of Fernanda saying how bad she felt when she couldn’t catch up with his bus. Flashback to the day he left and Fernanda ran after the bus while he looked on helplessly.

At the Elizalde’s, Fer is reading in bed and gets mad. This cannot be. It is not possible that Franco is engaged to Erika. Why didn’t he give her a chance to explain. Everything is lost through misunderstanding.

Damian sighs. He knows he’s lost too much ground with Fernanda, but, he won’t sleep in a cold bed. Hopefully, he says “Pequena” when he hears his bedroom door opening. It’s the wicked witch dressed in red with black undies who does a little strip for him. He tells her to get lost. He’s afraid of her and doesn’t have to follow her orders. She’s determined, and we know how weak he is. She’s going to show him how much he’s missed her.

Avances: Fer continues chastising herself and Barb continues to help herself.

Someone, please post this to the sidebar for me. Thanks.
