Caray, Caray!

Damian speaks to Vlad and tells him he better get to the apartment. It’s very important and it’s about his love, his chosen one.

Fer continues arguing with Gonzalo. She reminds him that Flor is like family; she’s worked for them for 16 years. He tells her Jaime Correa confessed that Flor passed secrets to Prolasa. Fer says, so who is he while Flor is like a member of the family.

Meanwhile Dr. Fashion Faux Pas (plaid jacket, white skirt, black dominatrix stilettos and fake Chanel bag) continues interviewing Lili. Lili tells her that Barbara Greco killed her mother. The doc morphs into Barb in Lili’s mind, and Lili attacks the doctor and calls her a murderer. The doctora is able to calm Lili down. She knows how Lili feels and doesn’t want to do more harm.

Barb converses with Cam. She convinces him to jump in and help defend the family against Aurora. He actually has a single thought that Barb may be exaggerating a little. But, since he’s a smiling sociopath in residence, gives in and promises to do as Bar demands. Tonight, she says. But he has an important date tonight.

Venus is all over the place with Fred and Martina when the good doctora enters and asks Martina and Venus to leave. The doctora tells Ed about Lili’s psychotic episode. She says Lili’s actions are authentic. She prescribes some medicine. Ed wants to know if Lili can be cured. The doc says yes with therapy and support. Ed is relieved.

Cam says that Aurora has always appeared genuine to him. Barb wants proof that the mustia is bad for Santiago. She removes her little bottle of magic and hands it to Cam. She tells him it’s an accelerant so that the show can get on the road. Smarmy Cam says “aye, aye, captain.”

Venus is getting ready to go out and tells Martina how wonderful everything is. Uncle Steve has been taking care of her. Steve told her that if she didn’t pay attention, her glorious prince would turn into a frog. Steve and Franco have warned her that Camilo is a person she shouldn’t trust. Martina warns her of the most important thing, don’t fall in love. But, Martina is very in love with Carlos.

Ed says that Fernanda doesn’t have the least idea of his identity. He and Steve are trying to figure out who might have left the letters. Padre Bosco, Jacinto, Margarita, Gardenia, Don Silvestre, Steve all know his identity. Well, readers, that’s about half the cast, maybe even more than half the cast. Steve reminds Ed of Padre Bosco’s words that the enemy is within. Ed says it can’t be any of the above. Steve says it’s somebody here who knows your secrets and that it signifies that he is in danger. Enter Gardenia with a bad attitude announcing the arrival of Erika.

Fer continues arguing with Gonzo. She asks for 24 hours to prove her case. Gonzo gives her the 24 hours and not a minute more.

At Las Animas Erika inflicts another teeny bopper scene upon us. She refuses to accept that Ed is just that not into her. Anyway, Erika converses with Ed and tells him about Damian. He appreciates her interest in his business. She’s such a good friend of Fer. She wants to help. It seems to her that Damian is not convenient to Fer. He wants to know if Fer said that. It seems to her that things are worse since Fer saw Damian. Why, he asks. But she says to everyone Fernanda is still in love with Damian, but even the most intelligent make mistakes. He says that Fer made a mistake by loving Damian. You haven’t forgotten the woman with the broken heart at your party??

Fer reviews Flor’s letter declaring her innocence.

Ed says this “mystery woman” is not important. She wants to dig it out of him. He wants to know where she’s going with this. She wants to know who broke his heart. He’s gotten rid of her and it’s not important. She’s beside herself and he says that’s past and is not now important. Erika wants to get him to the altar. She loves him. He knows that and he reminds her that he’s not in any condition to return the sentiment.

Vlad drools over Pris. Pris asks him to do something and he says just ask even if it’s impossible. Her disgust is visible when he kneels in front of her. The future of her baby is in danger.

Erika says that’s not important. Even if he doesn’t love her what she feels is enough. He says both should be in love. He repeats that you’d marry me even if I didn’t love you. She says love can be planted and grown. Ed says she’s very honest and what she is proposing is very romantic – grow love. He thanks her for the idea.

What is Pris talking about. She tells him that Damian is using them to hide crimes and is pulling them into his web. She wants him to do something, not for her, but for her baby. Vlad says the most important thing for him is the baby’s well being. He is very grateful that she needs him. She looks like she’s going to throw up. He wants to look at her some more before she leaves, and he wants just one little kiss. Pris kisses Vlad in the same way somebody would kiss a salamander or a pig. You know, I’ll kiss a pig if you’ll give me a million dollars.

Damian enters Barb’s study in his own inimitable way. He grabs Barb and shoves her across the room. He accuses Barb of sending him to the cabana knowing full well that Fer was there with Franco. She accuses him of acting like a jealous husband. He says he’s a cuckold. She says that their romance (Fer and Ed) began the day of his wedding to Fernanda.

Fer is knocking at Vlad’s office door. He says he’ll handle it and puts Pris in a corner. He steps outside the office and Vlad tells her that he has to deliver a report. Fer plunges right into his office and says emphatically, “Priscila”.

Barb asks Damian if he ever suspected anything. He repeats that Soledad’s death ruined the party. Barb tells him that she discovered Fer talking with her lover. Damian leaves in a huff. Referring to Franco, Barb thought bubbles that Franco is stupid for falling in love with Fer. She exudes the scent of jealousy.

Fer says that she has something very brief to say to Vlad. She tells him that she knows that Damian had been staying at his apartment when he was missing. Fer lets him have it and won’t accept any excuse. Fer wants Pris to accompany her to Prolasa. Fer asks about Jaime Correa – Fer tells Pris that she’ll tell her the story on the way. The girls leave. Vlad calls Correa on the phone. He warns Correa that Fer is on her way over there. Correa is listening while Vlad warns him that one false word will sink the ship.

Barb tells Damian to get a grip. Damian is in a huff that Fer dared to make fun of him. He isn’t going to waste more time talking to Barb. Barb tells him about taking advantage of the opportunities presented here. He must be on good behavior, loving, etc. She says he must do as she says and that Fer’s infidelity will be fatal. He will act as a husband blind with jealousy. So you want to turn her into a martyr. He doesn’t give a damn about the Elizaldes beginning with Fer. He’s so bad that even Barb won’t believe what he can do. Once Dam discovers his wife’s infidelity, everything changes. It’s just the two of them, Dam and Barb. Dam will be a victim and Fer will be repudiated. Dam says Fer doesn’t want him to touch her. Bar says that will change. Then Barb sends him off to work at the company. He’ll be seen in the office as a devoted husband. Damian finishes his drink, and I need one, too, at this point.

Fer and Pris go to the car. Fer reminds Pris that she threatened to miscarry and should take it easy. Pris reminds Fer that Vlad is a long time friend. They discuss why Damian was in Vlad’s apartment. Pris asks about Franco. Fer says their projects are moving forward. Vlad calls Pris who pretends she’s talking to her doctor. Vlad reminds her not to open her mouth because it could be a disaster for them. Vlad sends kisses through the phone. At the last minute Pris bows out of the trip to Prolasa because she claims she has a doctor’s appointment. Fer goes on without her. Did I mention that Fer is still wearing the yellow sundress?

Flor is crying out her story to Jacinto and Margarita. She wants to know if even they believe her. They tell her she has to speak with Fer. It was Gonzo himself who put her out. Flor has to speak with Fer. They try to stop her. She tells them that Vlad is involved. She’s not lying. Margarita tells Flor not to open her mouth about any of those people. Flor cries.

Erika hasn’t left Las Animas yet. She’s in a philosophical discussion about love with Ed. He says marriage without love is a bit cold. In some places in the world marriage is not complicated by love. To him love is important. She asks if the mystery woman was his fiancée. He says it was a long time ago. He says what she’s saying is crazy. He’s melting a little. It’s unusual and he’s listening. He finally agrees and says that she can help get the memory of that woman out of his head. He looks like he’s in pain as he embraces her.

Rolando greets Fernanda at Prolasa and tells him that Pris was coming with her, but she had a last minute doctor’s appointment. Rolando tells her about the documents because the theft amounts to industrial espionage. She wants to speak to Jaime Correa and Rolando says he’ll send for him. Meanwhile Vlad is warning Jaime that he can’t say anything. Jaime is worried about his own hide. Rolando’s secretary calls Jaime in. Don’t you think this dog is going to say how high when the boss says jump?

At last Erika is about to leave and tells Ed how important the conversation was to her. Ed says he’s not a prince and she leans toward him a for a kiss. Gardenia’s blood pressure rises as she spies on them from behind some bushes. This turns out to be a real kiss. Score one for Erika.

Avances: Gardenia prays to God for help in getting rid of Erika. The rest of it looked like what just happened above.

And, I forgot to ask: Someone please post this to the sidebar for me. Thanks.
