Caray, Caray!

Cam is working on Lovely’s leg when she notices the wound inflicted by Erika. He wants to stay so that she can heal him. She tries to call her uncle while he smooches on her shoulders.
She looks like she may weaken and fall into his trap.

The inane conversation between Steve, Fernanda/Damian and Franco/Erika goes on. I have trouble understanding Steve’s Spanish. Gardenia looks on jealously. Damian asks Franco what he thinks about living in the U.S. Erika really hadn’t thought about it. Fernanda looks on painfully. Damian kisses Fernanda, and she pretends to smile and then looks at Franco. This scene is all about the unsaid. Lucky us, we can read minds.

Meanwhile, back at departmento Camilo, he is in full make-love mode and is trying to convince Lovely to reciprocate. She throws down the phone and they start to get down to business. Cam asks her if she will be his.

Erika suggests that the four of them go on a trip together. Franco looks like he just ate a live bird. She wants to go to Saint Thomas. Damian asks Fernanda’s opinion. She gives him a look. That must be her answer. Dinner is served. The bocaditos on the coffee table look good.

Artemio Bravo is happy that Lili is interested in the diary. He shows her a dried flower that he found in the diary – in the middle of the love story. Even though he is warning her that it is a love story, it is about to turn into a horror story. Lili, he says, I am about to let you know my secrets so why don’t you let me know your secrets. For example why did you say that Eduardo Juarez is alive? She cringes.

The magnificent five remark that the food is delicious. Fer and Franco have eyes only for each other, even though Damian has staked out his territory and Gardenia looks on wistfully. Franco tells them that it is impossible to take a trip now because of Power Milk’s business. He asks the pardon of Damian and Fernanda. She looks like she’s eating bugs. Damian declares that what Franco just said is brilliant. Damian wants to follow Franco’s example. He repeats his earlier wish that he and Fernanda have a baby. There is pain all around the table.

At Casa Wierdo, Artemio asks Lili a question. Ciro tells her everything is OK. She repeats that Eduardo is alive and will come for her. Ciro tells her not to answer the question as to Eduardo’s whereabouts. She just repeats the name Eduardo and looks crazily around the room, confusing Artemio Bravo.

Gonzo is eating breakfast when Barb in her Babe Barbie black dress enters the room and ends a call with Santi who advises her that there is no new news. She asks Gonzo’s permission to help Santi find Aurora. Only one thing – whatever relates to his children, they do together. They will unite forces, fighting shoulder to shoulder. She thought bubbles – “ You old fool, neither you or anybody else will interfere with my plans.”

Aurora is still praying when the Lying Nun enters and asks her if she feels better. She wants to know if the child’s father is Santiago Elizalde – she says Santiago, yes, but not Santiago. He won’t believe that it is his child. Madre is sure Santi won’t abandon her. Aurora insists that what she has done is not pardonable. He is going to reject her because she and Santi’s brother did the deed. Flashback to Camilo disrobing Aurora.

Cam asks Lovely if the wine is ready yet, and how about you, are you ready, too. She says she is preparing the first wedding present. What Abdul Hassan knows. No, she says, you will be the first. She comes in wearing a stripper’s bridal outfit, complete with garter belt, stockings, a short white jacket, bustier and bride’s veil. She throws the bouquet to him.

Aurora can’t explain to the mother superior what happened or why. It happened when she took the drops that Camilo gave her. They made her feel strange and she became dizzy. In that moment she fell into Hell. Madre wants to know if Camilo is the baby’s father. She says, no, madre, I am sure that Santiago is the baby’s father.

Cam can’t keep his hands and eyes off Lovely. She has a question. After we make love, are you going to marry me. What the Hell, he says.

Back at the dull dinner, Steve makes a phone call. He gets Lovely’s voice mail. Steve looks at his watch and looks worried.

Camilo asks Lovely what craziness she is thinking. Cam starts throwing out all kinds of lines of BS, like you don’t believe in me. She is going to be truthful. She’s only interested in getting married and he just wants sex. She wants a wedding and he wants to carry me to bed. She runs her hands up and down her body. She is really working it.

Pris ponders what is to happen if Fer is having anything to do (an affair) with Franco Santoro. She’s looking for anything in Fer’s room. Maybe a letter, anything, a photograph. She feels like a vulgar thief, betraying her friend. What if Fer spills the beans to Anibal, she thinks. The future of her child hangs by a thread (un hilo).

The new improved Gardenia who obviously spent a week in New York as a guest of What Not to Wear is setting up the coffee tray in the kitchen. She looks beautiful. Steve asks her if she received a message from Lovely for him. She says no. She calls them (Camilo and company) facilotas. I assume by the way she said the word, that it they are “easy” people and put out, if you know what I mean.

Gardenia is looking for a big spoon and puts a ladle full of sugar in one of the cups. She stirs it when Steve returns and asks her if something is wrong. She says, no, but he doesn’t believe her.

Erika goes forth on her opinion that marriage is un mortajo. Did I get that right? She said a shroud? Damian says that she and Franco will enjoy life. Gardenia makes sure that Franco gets the cup. He takes a sip and gives her a look.

Camilo is still talking to Lovely. He wants to know what agreement they will have. She says it will be a secret accord. He says – hidden from Steve. She says, yes. She will give him what he wants.

Franco asks Gardenia what is the meaning of the sweetened coffee. He wants to know why she served him that coffee. What do you want me to say. That is your love. Sweetened by force. Go on, she says, to your guests. He wants to know why she thinks that. You are going to marry that woman, making you unhappy. You deserve better, not that Erika. This love isn’t real. She cries.

Dinner is over and the guests are ready to leave. Erika goes to the kitchen to get Franco. At least, says Gardenia, it should be Fernanda. But she’s married. Gardenia says it’s a loveless marriage. Rich people don’t marry for love. He says it’s not always for money. Erika is ready to leave and for them to say good night to Damian and Fernanda. On the way out, Franco embraces Gardenia’s shoulder.

Damian gives thanks to Franco and says he and his wife are happy. Fer says good night to Franco. Surely everyone can feel the heat, except Damian, maybe, because he’s got his mind on a crutch and phone he likes to abuse.

Cam finally asks Lovely what do you want. She says I want to be free. We can marry and she won’t be dependent on her uncle and then they can divorce. She offers him 50% of her fortune. He will get his freedom back when they divorce. The lizard smirks. Finally, Steve gets through to Lovely. Steve wants to know how things are going. She tells him everything is under control. Steve doesn’t want Cam to touch her under any circumstances.

Steve asks Venus not to forget their deal – no sex with Camilo. She tells Steve not to worry. She tells Cam that she has to leave. Some other time she tells Cami. Cami looks like he is in great pain. She lights the fire under the water, but doesn’t take a bath, he thinks.

Erika is so happy that Franco is a gentleman and takes her home. She questions him and says she felt something strange at the dinner. He asks to what does she refer. Didn’t you notice that Fer was very strange.

Damian tells Fer that Franco is in love with Erika. You think that too. Yes, she says. You are wrong. Why. He asks her if something is happening between her and Franco. Please, she says. Peque, come here. I still feel doubt. He wants to show her how much he loves her. He wants her to know that what they said is true. What – that we are going to have a baby.

Franco says to Erika that you have known Fernanda since childhood. She says, yes, you two work together. Didn’t you notice something. No, says he. Erika feels a slight sadness about Fernanda. She then gushes on about how great it would be if Fer and Damian had a baby. That is a painful thought for Franco.

Fer says no to Damian and he wants to know why. She is indisposed. What is it. Making love is for two, and I don’t feel the conditions. When have there been conditions. I told you I married for life. But right now I am worried about many things and she still needs time. Damian tells her he feels like leaving the house and looking for what he wants elsewhere. He is going to wait for her forever. He knows that what is happening will pass. He needs her and loves her.

Aurora flashes back to a time when she and Santi made love. She says that even though she’ll never see him again, he’ll always be the love of her life.

Just at that moment Santi returns home to Barb’s arms or spider web or whatever a hyena’s house is called. She asks him if there is news about Aurora. He tells her that nobody in Purification has seen her. Barb promises to help him in every way. He looks incredulous.

Franco returns to Las Animas and Gardenia is waiting for him. She now wants an answer. He says let’s go to the office. No, here is good enough. You can’t marry someone like Erika. (Si te espere levantada es no mas pa que me digas se es que cuando te las das de recachon no mas te puedes casar con gente de ese rodada.)

Meanwhile, Fer dreams about Franco and their bright and shining afternoon at the country house when they kissed and laughed. She tells herself that she has to forget about Franco and resume her life with Damian.

Franco asks Gardenia not to be so hard on him since she knows what he is trying to do. She understands, but you know I love you and that you can’t be in love with Erika. Marriage with Erika has nothing to do with love. Why don’t you marry me – I love you. Fortunately, Lovely has returned home. Lovely asks about Steve who has probably gone to bed. Lovely says that she’s going to bed too (planchar oreja). Franco asks her how she is doing and how everything is going with Camilo. She says better than they could have imagined. He sounds a little suspicious. She says she is falling in love with Camilo.

Santi says he doesn’t know where to look now. He questions Barb about the man who allegedly took Aurora away. She asks where in the village he looked. He tells her he went to Dominga’s house and nobody was there. Barb says “Dominga.” She wants to know about Aurora’s father. Santi tells her that Aurora has no family and that she never knew her father. Barb asks about Aurora’s mother. He says Aurora knew just a little. Barb starts to cry and looks scared.

Avances: Gardenia’s love for Eduardo becomes more intense and Steve warns him about the dangers of this type of love.

Barb grabs Lili by the hair and wants information about Eduardo Juarez.

Someone please post this for me. Anybody know how many love triangles we have so far?
