Sortilegio #16, Tuesday 10/27/09: Let's get ready to rumble!
Alex and MaryJo continue their middle-of-the-night chat. Alex is such a dip he says he didn't "notice" that MaryJo was a virgin. She doesn't take it kindly. He wants to know about the cell phone he saw her putting in her pocket earlier. She tries to pretend she doesn't know what he's talking about, but once he starts searching through her stuff she pulls it out and hands it to him. He can see that it's Bruno's and wonders why she has it. She explains about the recording, which they listen to, and then tells him that Bruno wants her to say she's expecting a Little Bruno. Alex has had it! He doesn't care if he and Bruno share blood, he wants to kill him. He tells MaryJo that he shares a dad with Bruno and she freaks out that he can't even think of turning into Cain over this. Um, right, cause if you're not related, go ahead and kill him, but if you are, oh noes! Don't even think it! I want to crack up when Alex basically says "yeah, well, he started it." MaryJo now tries to remind him that her family isn't exactly perfect, and how she got them in trouble by falling for Bruno, etc. But Alex just doesn't like the people around him very much right now. "Even Victoria?" MaryJo asks. "She slept with my dad while my mom was still alive." MaryJo has no answer to this.
In another part of town, Maura, Roberto, Raquel, and Ulises are hanging out in what's probably supposed to be a bar, but looks more like an airport terminal. Roberto tells them about seeing MaryJo take the cell phone from Bruno, but he doesn't really know what that's about. Raquel is convinced that MaryJo and Bruno knew each other before and were lovers. Ulises wonders if that was before or after the wedding with Alex, but Roberto points out that nobody is supposed to have met MaryJo before. Maura asks Ulises to walk her to the bathroom. Why? I'm pretty sure he's not using the ladies', and they don't wear the same shade of lipstick. When they leave, Raquel tells Roberto that Maura has the soul of a "ramera" (ho) and is panting after Ulises even though she's supposedly in luuuuurve with Alex. Roberto is either bored or annoyed as he says, "a ti que te importa?" (what's it matter to you?), and we all know the answer to that question.
Maura proposes that Ulises earn himself some money by…no, not sleeping with her. She has a bigger fish to fry, a fish named Alex. And no, she doesn't think Ulises can seduce the "provinciana" (hick) either. She wants him to find out if there's "algo turbio" (something shady) going on with Alex, MaryJo, and Bruno, by getting close to the three of them. Maura is pissed off that she got dumped for a "criada" (maid) and is getting made fun of by her friends. Ulises needs to pick a side. Well, since she offered to pay and he's staying at her place for free, Ulises opts for a spot on Team Maura.
MaryJo tries to convince Alex that she's nothing but trouble and she and her family should get far, far away from him. They'll give him the papers for the apartment and he can sell it and send them whatever amount of money he thinks is fair. She asks about the paperwork to change their marriage to a non-"you get half of everything" arrangement. He says it's done, except for their signatures. He doesn't want to divorce her, though, until they find out if she's pregnant, which she immediately tries to insist she's not. That doesn't get her anywhere, though. She wonders, what about "us." He recalls that she said she had feelings for him. She wonders how much of his feelings are caring and how much are obsession and revenge on Bruno. He's not sure, but he says right now he needs her more than ever, and gives her a big squishy hug. Hey, Bruno, nice job bringing those two together, heh, heh, heh.
The next morning Vicky comes down to breakfast. Felipa comments on her "ojeras" (dark circles under the eyes). Vicky wants to see if Alex comes down and how he looks at her. She's not sure if he read the book, or just flipped some pages, or ignored it. She knows he's upset because "she" ( really, she and his dad, let's be honest here) cheated on his mother.
Alex is getting dressed and talking to Ezequiel. I don't like the patterned shirt with the slightly shiny vest and jacket. And I'm not sure how I feel about the vest being double-breasted. Alex is pissed to hear that Bruno spent the night in the house. He gets his jacket on, takes his wallet and non-matching briefcase (I definitely do not like the brown briefcase with the dark grey suit…and it doesn't match his shoes, either) and walks out as Ezequiel calls a blessing after him.
In the hallway he runs into MaryJo. Like the good little wife she is, she asks if he's leaving and if he's had breakfast. He plans to have breakfast at the office. He's had no further thoughts about their conversation last night and insists they wait to see if she's pregnant, not because he doesn't think she can take care of a kid, but because he won't let his kid grow up away from him. She tries to fake him out with "well, maybe it's not even your kid." He looks so tired as he tells her not to BS him, he believed her when she said she was a virgin and their first time was her first time. She gives up. But she still doesn't like sitting around the house doing nothing and letting him spend money on her and her family. She wants him to fire the maid, but he says she has other things to do. "What other things? Your mom and Felipa take care of the house…." He reminds her about getting Paula into school, and he's not going back on that because he promised Paula. He asks her to take care of it. As he's opening Bruno's door, she asks if he's going to say something about the cell and he says yes. She runs off as he goes in.
He tells Bruno that he's letting him stay in the house because of Vicky, but if he gets within 100 steps of MaryJo again, he will throw him out. "Oh, and by the way, I've got your cell phone. I wonder what other interesting things I'll find on here." Bruno, in fluorescent yellow boxer briefs, jumps out of bed and says "gimme back the phone" but Alex shoves him back. Then we start an epic fight that takes from the doorway of Bruno's room through the upstairs hallway area, onto the landing that curves all the way over to the top of the stairs, tumbling down to the bottom, and startling Ezequiel, who drops a giant silver bowl of fruit. There's lots of punching, kicking, grappling, and other things I don't know the names of. Ezequiel calls for the boys' mommy. As the dueling duo roll into the living room, Ulises and Roberto walk in the front door and immediately pull the pair apart. Funny, I would have figured Roberto for the kind of guy who likes to watch. He does grab the scantily-clad Bruno, though, so maybe that's enough of a thrill for him. They really have to hold the pair back, even after Vicky comes running in screaming at them to stop. Ulises and Roberto lose their respective grips and Alex and Bruno go at it again. Somehow, it looked like Bruno was trying to hit Roberto, but ended up hitting his mother instead and knocking her to the floor. Now he stops. Alex runs to her, calling her mom and asking her to wake up. Felipa yells at someone to call the doctor and then yells at Bruno that this is all his fault. Bruno, the little twerp, says "he started it," but lets himself be hauled away by Ulises and Roberto, I think. And Alex just keeps begging his mommy to wake up.
After the commercials, Ulises and Roberto have gotten Bruno all the way outside, but have to keep walking him farther and farther away from the house to keep him from turning back and smacking Alex around some more. The following conversation ensues:
Bruno: Alex started it!
Roberto: If he did it's cause you won't leave his wife alone.
B: She's not his wife!
R: What do you mean by that?
B: Uh, that she can't stand him and wants a divorce, but he won't let her go.
R: Qué the hell do you care?
B: Well, she asked for my help.
R: Sure didn't look like she was asking for your help last night. She even pushed you down and took something from you…your cell?
B: Well, well…she hates him! (as he's trying to get back to the house again)
Ulises: Calm down, man!
B: You're a parasite living at the expense of others. And you (to Roberto), you're always gambling…you'd bet your wife if you could.
R: What of it?
B: Do you guys have any idea how many millions this family is worth?
U: (after exchanging a look with R) Lots of them, I suppose.
B: And a big part of it should have been mine and your wife's.
R: Hm, well, I agree with you on that.
B: But the demented old guy left it all to Alex. We have to do something to turn the situation around.
R: I don't see how. Only for Alex to die.
B: You said it.
Bruno walks off. Roberto wonders what's up, but Ulises gets it. "He wants to kill Alex."
Down by the fake lake, Paula and MaryJo talk about where babies come from. MaryJo would be ok with being pregnant if Alex really loved her and his family weren't, well, the way they are. Paula says being pregnant would be the best thing right now. I can't even summon up a shut up for her today. MaryJo thinks Alex only wants sex (yeah, so, and what man doesn't? It's either this or a convent, sister, cause even the gay men want sex, even if it's not with you). Paula thinks that's a start. MaryJo changes the subject to Paula's education, but MaryJo thinks it's pointless because if she's not pregnant she wants to get out of there ASAP. Paula suggests telling Mr. Moneybags to buy another place for them to live, if it's just the people in this house that are bugging her. But MaryJo says that would indicate that she accepts him, blah, blah, blah. Oh, yeah, poor you, you accidentally ended up married to a rich sex god. Gee, it must be so tough. The usual Paula/MaryJo argument. The nurse comes out to announce that Pedro is all washed and dressed and has borrowed a cane from Ezequiel and will be walking out any moment. The girls get all excited and run into the house to see him. Well, duh, now he doesn't get to make his grand exit. Ungrateful children.
Vicky is up in her bedroom, conscious, having a compress applied by Felipa. Alex says that Hernán will be over soon, but Vicky tries to say she's fine. Raquel thinks it was stupid of Vicky to get in the middle of the fight between the two "troglodytes." Vicky is happy that Alex isn't rejecting her, but he says he'd never leave her. Raquel is suspicious, but Vicky says it's nothing. Bruno, now dressed, comes in to say he's sorry to his mom. Of course, she brushes it off because he didn't mean to do it. Raquel wants to know what they're fighting about. Shut. Up. Raquel. That's only going to get them going again, you idiot. Alex responds by leaving, and asking Felipa to let him know what Hernán says after he checks out Vicky. After he leaves, Raquel asks Bruno what happened this time, but he says "you know how he is, he just came at me for no reason." Even Vicky doesn't look like she believes that.
Ulises and Roberto put their four spare brain cells together to parse the conversation with Bruno. Sorry, but, come on, these boys are mainly for show and I bet even they know it. Ulises can't imagine that Bruno would go so far as to murder Alex, but Roberto is sure that's what Bruno was implying. He wonders why Bruno would tell them about it. Ulises thinks he wants them to help him. Roberto laughs that off saying no way is he going to help someone with murder. And about the conversation last night, he's still not sure what was going on, but he does think that MaryJo was upset, he saw her take the cell phone away from Bruno and run away. He's sure they knew each other before, but all he can figure is that maybe Alex introduced MaryJo to Bruno before and just forgot about it the way he forgot about being married to her in the first place.
MaryJo and Paula hear about Vicky from the maid. MaryJo thinks it's all her fault and they need to get out of there before Bruno and Alex kill each other. As they climb the stairs, Paula hopes Alex gave Bruno the beating he deserves. Bruno is, of course, waiting for them in the hallway. He yells at MaryJo for giving the cell phone to Alex. She tells him she also told Alex that Bruno wants her to say she's pregnant with Bruno's baby. Paula tells him his little threat didn't work, so he'd better just deal with it. Bruno menacingly reminds them that the threat to their father is still in place. Paula pushes MaryJo off into her room.
Hernán finishes examining Vicky. He doesn't believe her story that she bruised only her jaw by falling down the stairs, but she insists. He wants some x-rays done. Felipa joins him in mocking Vicky, saying she doesn't know what happened, since Vicky usually has her feet pretty firmly planted on the ground. Hernán now tries to get info out of Raquel, but by the time she heard about it, Vicky was already up in her room. Hernán still thinks it's all a bunch of BS, but he prescribes Vicky a "fomento" (fomentation?), an anti-inflammatory, and two days of rest.
Alex is at the office, and tells Fernando what happened. Fernando, being madly in love with Vicky the MILF, is understandably very, very, very upset. He points out to Alex that the situation is getting worse every day. Alex's phone rings. Felipa tells him the doctor left and said everything is fine, but Vicky made up a story about falling down the stairs. She's a little swollen, but the doc gave her some medicine. He gives Fernando the news. Fernando wonders if it's ok to see her and Alex almost indulgently says, "I dunno, ask her," as he gives Fernando a pat on the arm. Fernando gets all excited about that and his eyes light up with an unholy fire most men reserve for new tech toys.
Bruno is still trying to sell the "Alex started it" story, claiming that it's because he came back to the house. Raquel blames it on "that woman." Hi, kids, 2 days of rest, remember. You're giving mommy a headache! Vicky manages a weak, "that's enough." Raquel insists that MaryJo has to be kicked out.
Alex plays the recording for Fernando. Alex thinks it's just some guy Bruno paid to say it. Fernando wonders if it could be true. Alex also tells him that Bruno used the recording to try to coerce MaryJo into saying that she's pregnant with Bruno's hellspawn. Fernando can't figure out Bruno's game. Alex thinks since killing him off didn't work, Bruno now wants to get MaryJo. "Does he love her?" Alex thinks he might, but his phone rings before he can answer Fernando's question, "Do you love her?" Comandante Tenorio is on the phone. Alex puts him on speaker. They have a suspect in custody, a guy who tried to sell off Alex's watch. Oh, noes! Chucho! He's detained until Alex can come over and identify him. Shoulda just given him cash. Fernando's response to the phone call is to say it wasn't Bruno, so MaryJo must have had another accomplice. Down in the lobby, Alex says it wouldn't make sense for Chucho to have been in on it because he would have just killed Alex instead of helping him. And besides, Alex is the one who gave him the watch. But Fernando wonders if maybe Chucho didn't connect Alex with the accident. You know what? Shut. Up. Fernando. I suspect Fernando is being written by the writers responsible for plots that go nowhere because people jump to the wrong conclusions. Alex says that someone hired to kill another person doesn’t just take pity on random strangers and try to help them. Fernando says Alex is rejecting any theories that point to MaryJo. Well, yeah, dummy, because they're wrong! Alex says everything that MaryJo has said is logical. Fernando takes offense, especially because trusting in MaryJo's logic is hurting his beloved Vicky, who should be up on an altar, not being hurt by her horrible ungrateful children. Alex gripes that Vicky is the only one Fernando cares about…"well, she's the most defenseless," replies Fernando. Oh, Shut. Up. Fernando. She doesn't need a defender, she needs to locate her spine and use it. "Dude, are you in love with my Mom?" No answer as we go to commercials. And also, seriously, Alex, you needed to ask?
Back from commercials and Fernando doesn't want to talk about it. Alex is tired of getting into fights with him all the time. He invites him to lunch and Fernando accepts, but insists on taking his own car because he has a project to check in the afternoon. Alex rolls his eyes as he agrees and the two drive off.
Maura fills Ulises in on the plot so far: nobody knows who she is or where she came from; Alex and I were "together" just a week before and he never mentioned her; all of a sudden he's got a wife. She's not given up on the relationship entirely because of Alex saying they would probably get divorced soon and they have an "arrangement." They talk about the fight that morning. Maura thinks it's terrible that Vicky got knocked out, but Ulises thinks it's funny. Maura is intrigued by Bruno saying that MaryJo isn't Alex's wife. She says she's had no luck getting Lisette to make friends with Paula and her dad. Ulises really wants to meet MaryJo, so Maura offers to take him over there this afternoon.
At lunch, Alex wants to talk to Fernando as friends, like they used to. Fernando doesn't really know MaryJo, but what he does know is that since the accident, Alex has changed. "Of course, " says Alex, "Someone tried to kill me, I have a wife I've never met before, and now it turns out Bruno was behind it all." Fernando has a problem with Alex believing this even though there's no proof. Fernando isn't convinced that it was necessarily Bruno, he thinks it could be someone else. He thinks that Alex has decided it was all Bruno just because the two of them have hated each other for a long time. Alex now wonders what Fernando has against MaryJo because he's willing to believe that she's an adventuress who planned this whole scheme and is only blaming Bruno because it went wrong. Actually, Fernando hates her because she's inadvertently messing with his beloved Vicky. But he doesn't say that out loud. The waiter arrives with wine.
MaryJo comes to see how Vicky is doing. Felipa doesn't let her in, but does agree to pass on the message that MaryJo hopes she feels better soon and that she's very sorry for what happened. Vicky doesn't know what to think about MaryJo. She can't get the image of the fight out of her head. She feels like this fight was different, like the two of them were trying to kill each other. Vicky's glad that Alex called her Mom. Felipa asks forgiveness, but opines that Alex is the better of the two boys. Both ladies agree that the boys were fighting over MaryJo. Vicky thinks Bruno must be in love with MaryJo and she doesn't think it takes long to fall in love, since she fell in love with Antonio the first time she met him. Whatever. Even if Felipa says their story was "different," Vicky says that even when you say things are "different," it's really the same old story.
Alex now tries to get Fernando to spill his feelings for Vicky. Fernando carefully hedges, saying Vicky's, like, totally awesome and he likes her a lot. Alex agrees about her awesomeness. He mentions that Vicky gave him a book she had written. Fernando is surprised that Vicky is a published author, but he remembers the book from the day before. He wants to borrow it from Alex, but Alex isn't sure he wants to lend it. Fernando lists all the things he likes about Vicky. He assures Alex he's never been disrespectful and would never tell her how he feels. Alex says she may be old enough to be his mom, but she's not. How terribly open minded of him. Now let's see how he feels about calling his best friend "Daddy." Fernando doesn't care about the age difference. But he's just going to love her from afar, as an impossible love. He's not willing to cross the age line or the class line. Alex admits that even though he's partly after MaryJo to take her away from Bruno, he really likes her.
Paula fills Pedro in on the juicy gossip from that morning as he walks with her and MaryJo. Pedro is inclined to agree with MaryJo that it would be better to get out of there if things are getting this violent. Paula reminds them both that the fighting is going to continue in any case because they already had a hate-on for each other. MaryJo and Pedro are determined to get out of there, which upsets Paula. She leaves and MaryJo points out that it's going to be hard for Paula to give up all these luxuries. Pedro wonders if it will be hard for MaryJo to give up Alex. She says she fell for the wrong guy once and she doesn't want to do it again. They see Alex drive up.
Vicky insists on knowing the reason for the fight. She wants to hear Alex's version. "The same as always," he says, which only upsets her because that means they were fighting over MaryJo. He really doesn't want to talk about it. He only came to tell her that he's going out of town for a few days. They'll talk when he comes back. He compliments her writing and tells her that he hasn't told Bruno that they're half brothers because he thinks that's up to her. Alex goes downstairs, asks Ezequiel where MaryJo is, and goes off to her dad's to look for her.
Maura tells Ulises that she's pretty sure Alex will marry her after he divorces MaryJo. Ulises wants to know how much he's getting paid, but that depends on what he digs up. He suggests they sleep together in the meantime. Maura laughs this off and tells him if he wants work as a gigolo he should proposition Raquel. She goes off to freshen up before taking him over to the Lombardo's.
In Pedro's chalet, Alex explains that the noise they hear is from the generator (uh, ok). Pedro and MaryJo start to make a case for leaving, on account of all the trouble they've caused. And then my DVR cuts off, so I have no idea how it ends or what we can expect for tomorrow. Sorry folks! I'm sure someone will fill us in in the comments.
In another part of town, Maura, Roberto, Raquel, and Ulises are hanging out in what's probably supposed to be a bar, but looks more like an airport terminal. Roberto tells them about seeing MaryJo take the cell phone from Bruno, but he doesn't really know what that's about. Raquel is convinced that MaryJo and Bruno knew each other before and were lovers. Ulises wonders if that was before or after the wedding with Alex, but Roberto points out that nobody is supposed to have met MaryJo before. Maura asks Ulises to walk her to the bathroom. Why?

Ulises thinks he wants them to help him. Roberto laughs that off saying no way is he going to help someone with murder. And about the conversation last night, he's still not sure what was going on, but he does think that MaryJo was upset, he saw her take the cell phone away from Bruno and run away. He's sure they knew each other before, but all he can figure is that maybe Alex introduced MaryJo to Bruno before and just forgot about it the way he forgot about being married to her in the first place.
MaryJo and Paula hear about Vicky from the maid. MaryJo thinks it's all her fault and they need to get out of there before Bruno and Alex kill each other. As they climb the stairs, Paula hopes Alex gave Bruno the beating he deserves. Bruno is, of course, waiting for them in the hallway. He yells at MaryJo for giving the cell phone to Alex. She tells him she also told Alex that Bruno wants her to say she's pregnant with Bruno's baby. Paula tells him his little threat didn't work, so he'd better just deal with it. Bruno menacingly reminds them that the threat to their father is still in place. Paula pushes MaryJo off into her room.
Hernán finishes examining Vicky. He doesn't believe her story that she bruised only her jaw by falling down the stairs, but she insists. He wants some x-rays done. Felipa joins him in mocking Vicky, saying she doesn't know what happened, since Vicky usually has her feet pretty firmly planted on the ground. Hernán now tries to get info out of Raquel, but by the time she heard about it, Vicky was already up in her room. Hernán still thinks it's all a bunch of BS, but he prescribes Vicky a "fomento" (fomentation?), an anti-inflammatory, and two days of rest.
Alex is at the office, and tells Fernando what happened. Fernando, being madly in love with Vicky the MILF, is understandably very, very, very upset. He points out to Alex that the situation is getting worse every day. Alex's phone rings. Felipa tells him the doctor left and said everything is fine, but Vicky made up a story about falling down the stairs. She's a little swollen, but the doc gave her some medicine. He gives Fernando the news. Fernando wonders if it's ok to see her and Alex almost indulgently says, "I dunno, ask her," as he gives Fernando a pat on the arm. Fernando gets all excited about that and his eyes light up with an unholy fire most men reserve for new tech toys.
Bruno is still trying to sell the "Alex started it" story, claiming that it's because he came back to the house. Raquel blames it on "that woman." Hi, kids, 2 days of rest, remember. You're giving mommy a headache! Vicky manages a weak, "that's enough." Raquel insists that MaryJo has to be kicked out.
Alex plays the recording for Fernando. Alex thinks it's just some guy Bruno paid to say it. Fernando wonders if it could be true. Alex also tells him that Bruno used the recording to try to coerce MaryJo into saying that she's pregnant with Bruno's hellspawn. Fernando can't figure out Bruno's game. Alex thinks since killing him off didn't work, Bruno now wants to get MaryJo. "Does he love her?" Alex thinks he might, but his phone rings before he can answer Fernando's question, "Do you love her?" Comandante Tenorio is on the phone. Alex puts him on speaker. They have a suspect in custody, a guy who tried to sell off Alex's watch. Oh, noes! Chucho! He's detained until Alex can come over and identify him. Shoulda just given him cash. Fernando's response to the phone call is to say it wasn't Bruno, so MaryJo must have had another accomplice. Down in the lobby, Alex says it wouldn't make sense for Chucho to have been in on it because he would have just killed Alex instead of helping him. And besides, Alex is the one who gave him the watch. But Fernando wonders if maybe Chucho didn't connect Alex with the accident. You know what? Shut. Up. Fernando. I suspect Fernando is being written by the writers responsible for plots that go nowhere because people jump to the wrong conclusions. Alex says that someone hired to kill another person doesn’t just take pity on random strangers and try to help them. Fernando says Alex is rejecting any theories that point to MaryJo. Well, yeah, dummy, because they're wrong! Alex says everything that MaryJo has said is logical. Fernando takes offense, especially because trusting in MaryJo's logic is hurting his beloved Vicky, who should be up on an altar, not being hurt by her horrible ungrateful children. Alex gripes that Vicky is the only one Fernando cares about…"well, she's the most defenseless," replies Fernando. Oh, Shut. Up. Fernando. She doesn't need a defender, she needs to locate her spine and use it. "Dude, are you in love with my Mom?" No answer as we go to commercials. And also, seriously, Alex, you needed to ask?
Back from commercials and Fernando doesn't want to talk about it. Alex is tired of getting into fights with him all the time. He invites him to lunch and Fernando accepts, but insists on taking his own car because he has a project to check in the afternoon. Alex rolls his eyes as he agrees and the two drive off.
Maura fills Ulises in on the plot so far: nobody knows who she is or where she came from; Alex and I were "together" just a week before and he never mentioned her; all of a sudden he's got a wife. She's not given up on the relationship entirely because of Alex saying they would probably get divorced soon and they have an "arrangement." They talk about the fight that morning. Maura thinks it's terrible that Vicky got knocked out, but Ulises thinks it's funny. Maura is intrigued by Bruno saying that MaryJo isn't Alex's wife. She says she's had no luck getting Lisette to make friends with Paula and her dad. Ulises really wants to meet MaryJo, so Maura offers to take him over there this afternoon.
At lunch, Alex wants to talk to Fernando as friends, like they used to. Fernando doesn't really know MaryJo, but what he does know is that since the accident, Alex has changed. "Of course, " says Alex, "Someone tried to kill me, I have a wife I've never met before, and now it turns out Bruno was behind it all." Fernando has a problem with Alex believing this even though there's no proof. Fernando isn't convinced that it was necessarily Bruno, he thinks it could be someone else. He thinks that Alex has decided it was all Bruno just because the two of them have hated each other for a long time. Alex now wonders what Fernando has against MaryJo because he's willing to believe that she's an adventuress who planned this whole scheme and is only blaming Bruno because it went wrong. Actually, Fernando hates her because she's inadvertently messing with his beloved Vicky. But he doesn't say that out loud. The waiter arrives with wine.
MaryJo comes to see how Vicky is doing. Felipa doesn't let her in, but does agree to pass on the message that MaryJo hopes she feels better soon and that she's very sorry for what happened. Vicky doesn't know what to think about MaryJo. She can't get the image of the fight out of her head. She feels like this fight was different, like the two of them were trying to kill each other. Vicky's glad that Alex called her Mom. Felipa asks forgiveness, but opines that Alex is the better of the two boys. Both ladies agree that the boys were fighting over MaryJo. Vicky thinks Bruno must be in love with MaryJo and she doesn't think it takes long to fall in love, since she fell in love with Antonio the first time she met him. Whatever. Even if Felipa says their story was "different," Vicky says that even when you say things are "different," it's really the same old story.
Alex now tries to get Fernando to spill his feelings for Vicky. Fernando carefully hedges, saying Vicky's, like, totally awesome and he likes her a lot. Alex agrees about her awesomeness. He mentions that Vicky gave him a book she had written. Fernando is surprised that Vicky is a published author, but he remembers the book from the day before. He wants to borrow it from Alex, but Alex isn't sure he wants to lend it. Fernando lists all the things he likes about Vicky. He assures Alex he's never been disrespectful and would never tell her how he feels. Alex says she may be old enough to be his mom, but she's not. How terribly open minded of him. Now let's see how he feels about calling his best friend "Daddy." Fernando doesn't care about the age difference. But he's just going to love her from afar, as an impossible love. He's not willing to cross the age line or the class line. Alex admits that even though he's partly after MaryJo to take her away from Bruno, he really likes her.
Paula fills Pedro in on the juicy gossip from that morning as he walks with her and MaryJo. Pedro is inclined to agree with MaryJo that it would be better to get out of there if things are getting this violent. Paula reminds them both that the fighting is going to continue in any case because they already had a hate-on for each other. MaryJo and Pedro are determined to get out of there, which upsets Paula. She leaves and MaryJo points out that it's going to be hard for Paula to give up all these luxuries. Pedro wonders if it will be hard for MaryJo to give up Alex. She says she fell for the wrong guy once and she doesn't want to do it again. They see Alex drive up.
Vicky insists on knowing the reason for the fight. She wants to hear Alex's version. "The same as always," he says, which only upsets her because that means they were fighting over MaryJo. He really doesn't want to talk about it. He only came to tell her that he's going out of town for a few days. They'll talk when he comes back. He compliments her writing and tells her that he hasn't told Bruno that they're half brothers because he thinks that's up to her. Alex goes downstairs, asks Ezequiel where MaryJo is, and goes off to her dad's to look for her.
Maura tells Ulises that she's pretty sure Alex will marry her after he divorces MaryJo. Ulises wants to know how much he's getting paid, but that depends on what he digs up. He suggests they sleep together in the meantime. Maura laughs this off and tells him if he wants work as a gigolo he should proposition Raquel. She goes off to freshen up before taking him over to the Lombardo's.
In Pedro's chalet, Alex explains that the noise they hear is from the generator (uh, ok). Pedro and MaryJo start to make a case for leaving, on account of all the trouble they've caused. And then my DVR cuts off, so I have no idea how it ends or what we can expect for tomorrow. Sorry folks! I'm sure someone will fill us in in the comments.

This is a big blanket Thank You to my fellow recappers, who are doing a side-splitting job with this one. I get just enough time to read, but not enough to comment, unfortunately.
I'm still hanging in there with all my evening engagements. For those of you who were wondering, I'll be in the Theater Works production of "Miracle on 34th Street" at the Peoria Center for the Performing Arts. So if you're in the Phoenix area, I hope you'll come out and see the show.
Thank you also to the commenters, who are also frequently hilarious in their own right, for your continued support :)

I love how Vic asks Alex what he and Bruno were fighting about and when Alex says it's the same old thing, Vic immediately assumes he means MJ, who's only been around for a short while when even Vic admits that Alex and Bruno have been fighting forever.
Great summary, Kat! What happened after your DVR cut out: Pedro says it would be best for Alex if they (meaning he and his family) leave, and MJ chimes in saying that's what they all think, but Paula immediately says it's what THEY --meaning Pedro and MJ-- think. Pedro explains that they've figured out Bruno doesn't like seeing Alex around MJ so it would be better if they left. Alex rejects this, stating flatly that MJ and her family will continue to live at the manse. He and Bruno have never gotten along, so this is nothing new. Anyway, things are going to calm down for the time being because he needs to go out of town. He smiles at MJ and gets up. As he walks over and sits down next to her, he says he'd like her to go with him. MJ clutches Pedro's hand as if silently willing him to back her up as she tells Alex she thinks she needs to stay and take care of her father, but Pedro is now on Team Alex and doesn't take the hint. He tells her not to stick around on his account, plus it's her duty to go with her husband. Paula, the founding member of Team Alex, tells MJ not to be an idiot and she's sure MJ is going to have a great time. Alex gives her a big complicit grin, then asks if MJ and Paula took care of Paula's classes, but MJ explains that what with all the uproar at the house, they haven't had a chance. Alex tells Paula to ask Erik take her in to town tomorrow to get it all sorted out. When Paula mentions that Bruno might object, Alex says it's not a problem, to just say it's an order from him (Alex).
Alex and MJ are outside, walking along the path next to the lake. I guess while we blinked between scene changes, he filled her in about Chucho being detained, because now he's telling MJ that Chucho's a poor peasant and it's thanks to Chucho that he (Alex) is alive. Alex never thought the watch he gave Chucho as a present would cause trouble for Chucho, so of course he has to go help fix things. MJ agrees, but doesn't see why Alex wants her to go with him. "Because Bruno has returned to the house and I didn't have any choice other than to accept it," says Alex. He ads that Vic is going through a bad time and doesn't need Bruno making things worse, nor does Alex want to leave MJ there if he can't be around to stay on top of things. This whole time they've been strolling along, Alex has had his right arm around MJ while holding MJ's left hand in his left hand, but now she pulls her hand away, so he drops the arm he had around her. She asks if it's distrust on his part, and though she doesn't say so, the way she touches her chest with her hand makes it clear she means distrust of her. Alex puts his arm back around her and smiles, if a bit grimly. "Precautionary," he replies.
The black SUV is out in front of the manse. We hear a woman laughing as a sporty red convertible swoops up the drive and comes to a stop. Oh, look, it's Maura and the Oil Slick (Ulises). Maura calls out Alex's name. He's over at the passenger door of the SUV, and doesn't look at all pleased to see Maura or her companion, but manages a smile as he walks over to greet her. She calls him "mi vida" and says she was just stopping by to say hi to him. He gives her with a polite kiss on the cheek, saying he didn't expect her visit. MJ, approaching from somewhere out of sight behind the SUV, looks even less pleased to see Maura than Alex did. Alex immediately calls to MJ, adding that she's his wife, presumably for the Oil Slick's benefit. MJ walks over and stops next to Alex, who puts one hand on the small of her back as he introduces her to the Oil Slick, calling him an old friend. Sleazoid is (or pretends to be) so struck by MJ that he pulls off his passé sunglasses to get a better look.

Previews for tomorrow say that MJ's presence on the scene is stirring the pot and Bruno isn't going to take it lying down. Over shots of Alex and MJ in the shower together, the announcer explains that MJ has become the object of desire and "the most savage jealousy." Then we see Alex's hands holding MJ's wrists in a crushing grip as he asks what she would have done had he died -- would she have accepted Bruno? MJ screams at him that she is fed up with his distrust and wants him to disappear from her life. She tries to climb a steep hillside to get away from him, and then there is a shot of her in a church, looking contemplative.

ROFLMAO! Mrs. 5Ft, how I have laughed at your recap. I had a meeting that lasted really late, and then played hooky from home for a while, so I have yet to watch the episode my brother taped. Your hilarity has me ready to dig into it right now. (Have a hoot with Miracle on 34th! That is so cool.)
Can't wait to see the Thrilla In Manilla 2.
Of course I'm not surprised Uli turned out to be such a skuzz. Grr.
Doh, Vicky! You got knocked the hell out!
Wow, Roberto does have some limits? Thank gawd somebody does in this Town of Get Alex.
MaryJo thinks Alex only wants sex (yeah, so, and what man doesn't? It's either this or a convent, sister, cause even the gay men want sex, even if it's not with you.) LOLOL!
Oh, yeah, poor you, you accidentally ended up married to a rich sex god. Gee, it must be so tough. LMAO! I'm sayin'.
Bobo and Uli putting together their four brain cells... LOL!
Oh, snaps--Alex seems not to care about Nando's infatuation with Vicky? Let's see how that holds up if they get to sleeping together. That might taste a little differently to you, My Delicious One. And stop talking to Nando about the situation at hand--your best friend's dumbassitude is getting you nowhere. You "really like MJ." Dude, please--you are a complete goner. If anything happened to the woman, you would be crapping your pants and breaking your neck getting to her.
You're pretty sure Alex will marry you after divorcing MJ?? RaMaura, you are on LSD. Alex would sex you up, but would not marry you if you were the last woman in Mexico. Trust.
Muchas gracious, Anon 5:22, for the continuation. :) I was hollaring when you called Uli an Oil Slick. ROFL
Gah--what is wrong with Alex being jealous?? You should be pissed off if a man ISN'T jealous, MJ! Que the--?
Ah, well. I'm off to watch my epi tape. Morning, all. :)

Anon 5:22, you should be writing for us! Drop me a line at caray@mappamundi.com
Kat, your writing just gets better and better! You've done another wonderful job. I think my vcr is confused about the end of daylight savings time, it wanted to record at 10 pm last night and I lost the show.

Okay--I have to stop the tape right here. Bruno! You knocked your own blood mom the heck out and didn't make a move to check her or anything, while Alex couldn't throw himself on her fast enough? LMAO! You are so worthless, I wouldn't give you a glass of water if you were on fire!
All right--back to the action now. Got to rewind and witness the beauty that is The Thrilla 2 one more time. "Oh, so you're gonna sucker punch me in the kidneys, eh Broodo? Let me hand you your ass a coupla times--" *body slam, piledriver, clothesline from hell* "Actually, I should beat you just for nearly showing your chubby in those freakin' yellow tighties--oofff!"

Kat, you are too freakin' funny! I didn't get to see the episode last night because I had to babysit and watch the cinematic epic Toy Story 2. It doesn't get any better than that! Ha. Not only did I spit coffee at the screen but my cereal went flying too! Two grown men fighting and rolling down the stairs is just too funny. Can't wait to go home and watch this episode.
Yeah i saw the same too when they were fighting Bruno's got an chubby. Glad to see Roberto isn't in to murder. Ulises looks like as long as he gets paid he doesn't care. Still no sense knock into Vicki yet hmmm. Finally someone else agrees Fernando should Shut. Up.

Well, that was amusing indeed. Haha. Poor Zeke looked like he might go into arrest when the boys came tumbling down the Stairway of Death. That terrific fight was good for two things: Bruno ended up looking like he got hit by the monster truck he sent to kill Alex, and Alex had to change out of that gawd-awful double-breasted vest.
Alex must have started something the other day with that vivid red shirt and rosary... Felipa was sporting a red shirt and rosary, Roberto was sporting a red shirt, MJ was sporting a red shirt, and in tonight's continuation Erick will be sporting a red tie and red pants. Gah!
So, all Vicky had to do was get hurt, and Alex immediately forgave her. I suppose it really scared him seeing her lying there motionless like that, as if he was losing a mother all over again.
Raquel needs to shut her incessant barking. I mean that is ALL she does from sunup to sundown. Shaddap already, wench.
I am so sick of Bruno snatching MJ around like a rag doll. I'm glad Alex isn't leaving her behind in the Technicolor House of Doom, surrounded by hyenas and wolves.
I cracked up when Tenorio, while talking to Alex on the phone, came down some stairs and walked right THROUGH someone's ceremony! Was that a wedding? Did he cut a bride and groom off at the pass? Wow, dude.
Okay, it's official. Nando opens his mouth, I get physically ill.
"Guerra," indeed. Bruno, Vicky, Alex, and Papi Pedro were all sitting around nursing war wounds, like they got the short end of a gang fight.
I really appreciated the look Televisa froze on MJ's face at the very end, as she glanced at Uli and what he called flirting. "Uh. Skuzz..."
And so we have a shower scene coming up, according to commercial previews. Pardon me, children, while mama goes a'hunting.

I have one request for future fights (and I’m sure there will be more) between Alex and Bruno…if anyone has to be half naked can it please PLEASE be Alex? Is that asking too much? I mean I think if anyone has a shot at making bright-highlighter-yellow tiddies look hot, it’s him!

So funny 5ft
"his eyes light up with an unholy fire most men reserve for new tech toys."
Thought I'd split with that one.
Made a mistake & thought I'd watch from the comfort of my bed, big mistake. Now it's off to you-tube.

Does anyone else think that if Vicki got therapy for Bruno when he was young that maybe the therapist would have recommended he be locked up and Vicki right next to him. I watch Camila on Enda an at least she admits her mistakes with Romina and her faults too. But Vicki wants to hear how great an mother she is and she just can't handle the honest truth about Bruno. Logically where would MJ get the money to pay someone to kill Alex. Also Alex was probably busy with work when they were supposed to have met. Dumbo Fernando and Vicki want to still blame MJ? Alex kick them all out the house and get a new best friend while you're at it.

Kat - Thank you! Great summary, wonderful editorial comments. Your recap was more fun than the episode itself.
I sort of liked Ale’s double-breasted vest with all the buttons. It has that “period” look to it, and since Carla Estrada usually does those types 'novelas, it may be a subtle nod to that era.
OMG, Bruno’s glow-in-the-dark undies! Aaaack. I wonder if that is the color of nuclear waste? I kept hoping Ale would give Bruno a big ole wedgie. Then post-fight, Bruno walking outside with Uli & Roberto …. IN HIS UNDIES! In broad daylight! Has he no shame? apparently not, since he tried to kill his brother.... Cain & Able.
That fight between Ale & Bruno was rather convincing. Good acting, boys!
Now Felipa is wearing a rosary? QTH???
We need the Dog Whisperer to shut Racquel up. We could also use him to put Bruno-the-red-zone-dog in his place.
I sort of liked Ale’s double-breasted vest with all the buttons. It has that “period” look to it, and since Carla Estrada usually does those types 'novelas, it may be a subtle nod to that era.
OMG, Bruno’s glow-in-the-dark undies! Aaaack. I wonder if that is the color of nuclear waste? I kept hoping Ale would give Bruno a big ole wedgie. Then post-fight, Bruno walking outside with Uli & Roberto …. IN HIS UNDIES! In broad daylight! Has he no shame? apparently not, since he tried to kill his brother.... Cain & Able.

Mrs, 5ft or better, Mrs. DEPENDABLE, wow, when you commit to something, you do it, the play and the recap. You know you are one of a kind....I hope Mr. 5ft appreciates that about you. I always forget that you have an eye for design until I read your editorial comments on the clothing..yes, Alex looked a little in unusual in his funky vest with brown briefcase.
Well, am I wrong or is Roberto stepping up the character plate a little? Maybe "we" were writing him off a little too soon. Interesting to see where the writers take Roberto.
Super annoying: Vicky and Nando...they deserve each other and do you know what, they'll be happy and together in the end.....NOT FAIR. (prediction not spoiler!) Another thing, who gives their stepson a book detailing the affair you had with his FATHER? one word....sick.
Great comments all day long yesterday and again today!
PS...I went on my fantasy date with FC. It was fabulous, details to follow!

MJ needs a talking to by Felipa! Brother attempting to murder brother is not your fault! so don't Ee.eeeven claim the guilt! MJ is picking up straws so she can remain in this nest of misfits.
Bonney ITA with you..MJ should confide in Felipa. I think she would be on TEAM ALEX & MJ all the way! She could even help shape Vikki's opinion of MJ...

Wow, Kat. Great hilarious recap as always. Hope the play goes well and your energy holds out after taking on this load.
And thanks, Anon, for the ending recap. Hope you'll accept Melinama's invitation to recap regularly.
Sure a lot of flashing fluorescent underwear in this episode. Bruno's butt actually matched the walls of the house of color horror in one scene. Wardrobe must be having fun selecting tidies' colors for the guys. Someone there has a sense of humor.
Of course we know that when Nando says his love for Vicky is "impossible" that it's going to happen for sure. I was hoping for some sweet but hot love story there, but my growing disillusionment with Vicky makes her less appealing as time goes by. And poor Nando, bless his heart, as they say in the south.

Kat and Anon at 5:22am who filled in on the final moments -- THANK YOU !!! Wasn't able to watch the episode last night and will try to find the youtube episode before tonight but not in such a hurry anymore thanks to you two.
I for one hope the Vicky/Nando romance isn't a big factor in Sorti. Don't like the acting of the Nando actor and as been said before (me included), I find zilch chemistry between him and Daniela Romo. I LIVE for the MJ/Alex moments, even if just walking arm and arm and talking. So definitely will youtube it!
Thanks again for a rollicking good recap!!

PS. Break a leg in Miracle kat -- I loved the movie and wish I was in Peoria to see the theater version!

Great recap, Kat!
I can sort of understand why Vicki, at least, has her doubts. She isn't really getting all the info that Fernando is getting, and it's hard for her to accept a seemingly weird story about a faked wedding, murder attempt, etc. In fact the whole thing is so convoluted that it's easier just to turn off her mind and blame all this "mess" on the "outsider". Yes, I know, there are many logical gaps, such as what possible motive could MaryJo have for saying she married Bruno? Why wouldn't she just go with the original story of marrying Alex, since that way she'd be assured of the money. But Victoria is just overwhelmed, and still trying to be a good mother to her children, so I'm giving her a pass.
But Fernando is being an idiot.

Kat: Wonderful, fun recap. Best line (among so many was): "...the fighting is going to continue in any case because they already had a hate-on for each other". Perfect.
Best of luck in your production - I know your performance will be great.
I find Roberto intriguing. Could he possibly be any more bored or disdainful? While he has no qualms about being unemployed (too well bred to undertake such a mundane task), at least he draws the line at murder. But, it will be interesting to see if that's the only thing he won't consider. :)

FABULOUS recap, Kat!
Also loved "his eyes light up with an unholy fire". Too many great one-liners to even list.
Chantal Andere is quite beautiful, especially in this novela. I wish they'd give her a different part. She was EXACTLY the same character in La Usurpadora. And very similar in Amor Real. One-note bitchy 24-7.
If MJ ever does sign that paper giving up her rights to 50% of Alex's bienes, Bruno is going to go more ballistic than normal.
That was a VERY impressive fight. It was one of the most convincing I've ever seen on a TN. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that one or both of them ended up hurt somewhat.
Stephe, loved "dumbassitude" re our Vicki obsessed, perennial bad hair day Nando. Every time he opens his mouth I want to punch it. And I have to listen carefully because he's Mr. Mumblemouth and barely enunciates. Nando and Paula would make a great couple, kvetching all day long.

hello all
Ive been reading your recaps for a couple of months every since I started watching Cuidado con el angle to learn spanish (where i fell in love with William Levy)I just wanted to say thanks it has been a big help in understanding what I miss when trying to read the cc. So, thanks to all the recapper for a job well done.
P.S
I kind of like the house that skittles built all the colors show the various personalities of everyone.

Now that we have a novela written with an intelligent, age appropiate actor as the lead. Can we have one were both of the leads are intelligent too. I'm tired of MJ being stupid and afraid just tell Alex every Brutus approaches and forgodsakes get some type of tape recorder too.Sheesh!!!!!

I think Bruno automatically lost the fight when he stepped out of his room in those nasty yellow briefs.

Was only me who loved seeing Bruno i half shut in need of cow meat. Getting the beat down he deserved a long time of ago. Maybe Alex should make Fernando mouth like that also the next time he says something against MJ.

Novelera: “That was a VERY impressive fight.” Yes, that was a really good fight. I think that we were so shocked by the “toxic waste yellow” briefs (thanks Doris!) that we didn’t notice how skilled the action was. I’m surprised that they didn’t use stunt doubles as they rolled down the stairs, this novela really needs WL to succeed, no substitutions please! I was a little reminded of that awful movie, Borat during that scene. WL needs hazard pay for his participation in that one! UGH.....

I have a request.... Young girls on the Caray Caray blog: Please stop asking for shower or underwear scenes. Your prayers are being answered, but with the wrong actors! I know a lot of guys, both young and old, look great in their skivvies. but NOT the ones that we keep seeing!!
Your cooperation in this matter is much appreciated!

Thanks for the recap Kat. We so appreciate your dedication particularly in light of your upcoming role. Break a leg. I know you will knock them out!!
Also thanks to Anon 5:22 am for filling in the last minutes and preview. Please do join our group. You're already a master at this and have given Uli a nick name (he, he).
The fight was hilarious and, as others have noted, no stunt doubles. I didn't need to see Bruno in technicolor undies.
Vivi from DC - your comment on how WL makes you crazy had me roaring with laughter. And Sandy, I look forward to the details of your fantasy date with FC.
Alex does need to dump Fernando as a BF.

Looks like I fell off the turnip truck. When several people mentioned Bruno & chubby, I'm saying to myself, I don't remember seeing any fat on Bruno but I watched the tremenda golpiza, now I know.
It doesn't take long for televisa to wipe out the chapters on you-tube but they don't show them in the US, what's up with that?
I did find another site to ck out but couldn't see the whole thing

Good stuff, good stuff
I like the fight, it looks so real. I thought one of them would break their neck or an arm. They are made of steel.
Vicky open your eyes!
Bruno's left eye after the fight is magic. I feel bad for the guy. Alex is too big for him.
The only thing I don't like so far is the pregnancy story line. Since when do people put certain things on hold to see if they are pregnant. I don't get that.
Alex is smart, but asking MJ to stay to make sure she is not pregnant when there is no sign that she might be doesn't seem real to me.

It sounds like I really missed something! I'll have to watch before tonight's episode. Maybe we should say no bathing or swimming or underwear scenes with Pimp Daddy or Bruno but definitely Alex.
Yes, Nathalie--that is an unfortunate thing that writers are guilty of on occasion... reaching for anything that they think will keep our attention right away, even if it is obviously too soon to be bringing it up. Such as this "are you or aren't you pregnant I wonder" stuff.
Contrived writing. :(

I've been offline at a workshop all day, but wanted to drop in to say that this was a great recap, including the fill-in of the ending from Anon 5:22.
That was some fight! I was really impressed that both the actors obviously did their own stunts and made it look so real. You know, although I really dislike Bruto, the boy has a nice bod and can pull off wandering around his estate in his skivies. The color choice is a bit suspect though...
Can't wait for the shower scene tonight! Mmm, mmm...more Alex in all his glory. :)

Newbie, sorry...I was joking! In MEPS and some here in Sorti, "we" have called for "shower or whatever" scenes from our favorite actors. My comments were NOT intended for anyone in particular, just a general laugh about the really BAD underwear scenes that we get in novelas sometimes...I guess I should leave jokes to the professionals!!!
My comment was in fun and not to be taken seriously!! Have a great evening and we'll have a laugh tomorrow after tonight's episode! Sorry for the confusion!

Thanks Kat for your always entertaining 5 star recap. I'm also enjoying the comments. Hombre de Misterio, your comment about Vickie is well stated and exactly what I think. Lots of other good comments, the only 1 that kinda confused me is Anon Sandy 3:47. I coundn't tell if it's serious or said in good humor. I need to know before I make my next request.

Thanks for the laughs Kat! The house is full of bruised and beat up people now.
The fight scene was realistic and surprisingly long. I wonder why they had 'Bruno' scraping the floor in nothing but those yellow briefs. Those hard floors and stairs had to leave a few real bruises on him. And he seemed to be unprotected :-0 Alex could've hurt himself too...

''chubby'', I didn't see the episode, but if it was a rough and tumble scene, he might have been wearing a cup !!!!

I also thank you for the thorough and fun recap, as my cable decided to only show the first half of the show, and replace the second half with a gray screen plus the audio from "Dancing With the Stars." Wretched Comcast.
If they do that tonight, I will never forgive them.
If they do that tonight, I will never forgive them.
Kat: Full of laughs as always. Thanks! You always catch the slang that I have a problem with so it's really great to have you recapping.
Anon. 5:22AM Thanks for filling in the last few scenes for us! I never get more than 50% of what is said in the "avances" since it generally sounds like the announcer has gravel in his mouth most of the time.
Ack, don't know why you folks suffer with Comcast. I have DirecTV with DVR and everything works perfectly. Weather never seems to interfere with the satellite. I've had the service for 6 years now and am very satisfied. The inside box had to be replaced after four years, but this was easily done.
We're not allowed to have satellite dishes in the building I live in, unfortunately. If we were I would totally switch, but the apartment is otherwise too awesome to consider moving.
So Ulises definitely gave MJ the onceover LOL. I definitely see trouble coming with him and Maura scheming together. Seeing Bruno in those yellow briefs had me thinking of the song Y.M.C.A from Village People LOL. We're in for another steamy love scene before the next implosion LOL.

IMO that song was old before the novela started -- certainly it's way overused. I wish there was a way to turn it down, if not off altogether.
