Amor Monday, February 01, 2010: May I have the envelope please? And the verdict is….
Friday: Don E tells the jury that justice is in their hands. The judge sends them off to deliberate. Dr B is in his car, trying to reach Ivonne’s cell. No luck.
Will he make it to the trial in time? Don’t touch that dial!
NB: Before we start, I’d like to note that throughout this episode Chris keeps lamenting that Paloma has distanced herself from him, and Madeleine keeps lamenting about having abandoned her son and yearning to be close to him. Since it’s wearing to keep reading these things over and over, I didn’t put them in. Insert wherever you like.
Walking along a street Gabriel, Paloma and Lili (who, now freed from the clutches of the nuns, has taken a fashion tip from Anamar and is wearing a super-short skirt) are happily planning Paloma’s upcoming Sweet 18 party. Lili takes off and Paloma and Gabriel decide to look in at the court to see what’s happening.
Romina has showed up in the lobby of the hotel and is reproaching Em. You said you left because we weren’t working out, but I’m not stupid. You just wanted to be here with your little chickiebaby. Em says don’t insult Anamar. Romina says why couldn’t you go live with your dad? Or at Orlando’s? Em points out that Angelica lives there. He’s just at the hotel until he can find an apartment. Romina pleads then just come home until you find one.
Em says the apartment is yours, and you can keep it when we divorce. Romina says you’re nuts if you think I’m going to give you a divorce. Em says don’t try to do like my mother did. I’m going to remake my life whether you agree to it or not, same as my father did with Luz.
Frantic Dr B is driving narrow cobblestone streets, trying to figure out how to get to the courthouse.
Don E, Chris and Natalia are waiting for the verdict. Chris thanks him for taking the case. Don E says he loves justice, plus, well, Chris knows how he feels about Chris’s mother. Mother? says Natalia, surprised. Don E says it’s a long story and he’ll tell her later.
Natalia tells him thank you (sniff) … for my daughter’s sake (sniff). I have no way to pay you. Me either, says Chris. Don E gestures expansively and smiles. Ya! he rumbles happily.
Oh no! Dr B is stuck behind a stalled truck. He jumps out and yells at the driver, who shrugs. Dr B dances around frantically. A guy on a scooter drives by the growing line of backed-up cars. Dr B says how much for your scooter? He whips out his wallet and fans bills. Sold! Or rented, I’m not sure. Who cares? Off he rides on it. My hero.
Carlota is burning up the phone wire, telling German to get in that jury room and find out what’s going on. German says he can’t, even Don E can’t. Carlota is quite sure Don E could if he wanted to. Do it! She demands. Get in there and bribe whoever you have to, idiot!
Click. Hysterical old bat, German says to himself.
What’s going on? asks Em, who’s just arrived. Do you think they’re going to go free? German says I have no idea. I think they might hang ‘em. Em says I hope you don’t think so just because you’re off the case. You think they’re innocent, right? Oh! Yeah. Sure, says German. It’s just a saying.
In the background, Paloma and Gabriel walk in together. She spots Em. He spots her. He and Gabriel spot each other. Long laser looks, then Paloma and Gabriel go on in. German says to Em Even though they deny it, it makes sense. I tried to ask Paloma out and no luck. She’s not easy to approach.
So how ‘bout you? How’re you doing? I’m getting a divorce and I’ve moved out, says Em. German pats him on the back and says I’m sorry. His mouth twitches with suppressed glee.
Ivonne, Rufi and Madeleine are sitting in the courtroom, wondering why the jury is taking so long. Ivonne gets a call on her cell and leaves to answer it. Rufi looks at Madeleine curiously. I’ve lived here since the dawn of time, she says, and yet I’ve never seen you here before.
Madeleine says she just came to town. Rufi asks does she like going to trials? Mad says she would give her life not to have to be there. She tells Rufi she’s Chris’s ma. She says probably Chris wouldn’t want me to tell anyone, but you seem so nice and I need to tell someone.
Rufi thoughtbubbles that that would mean she’s Paloma’s grandmother. On cue, Paloma comes into the courtroom and knees affectionately in front of Rufi. Madeleine is touched, then she studies her. Her DNA lights up like a nuclear reactor.
Carlota is pacing her room. A heavenly choir sings. How does she rate a choir? Ay, no! She says. She gets her coat and scarf.
The courtroom again. Everyone is waiting. Suspenseful violins work themselves into a frenzy. The defendants are led in.
Madeleine asks Rufi who that girl was. Rufi says she’s my child, or not exactly. I work in her house. She’s Paloma Espinosa de los Monteros. Madeleine says there’s something about her that seems familiar. Her eyes, her manner.
Everybody up! says the bailiff. Rufi rises, and Madeleine takes her hand and says please stay here with me. Rufi smiles kindly.
Em ends up sitting next to Paloma. He smiles at her.
Outside, Dr B, who’s not very adept at scooter riding, is awkwardly maneuvering the Disneyland-ride-line style switchbacks of the approach to the courthouse. Almost running down a few pedestrians, he pulls up to the front of the building, parks the thing, takes the suicide note from his pocket, and, waving it high, runs into the courthouse.
The jury has its verdict. The lead juror hands it to the bailiff who takes it to the judge. The judge looks at it with a stern poker face. Quick shots of team Chris looking anxious.
Outside of the courtroom, the bailiff bars the door, telling Dr B he can’t come in.
The judge is saying in the case of… etc… and we see the screen fragment into a fly’s vision composite of faces of concerned audience members.
Dr B bursts in waving the suicide note. Wait! he says. Carlota, disguised with a head scarf and long coat, slips into the door and melts into the back row.
Dr B tells the judge that it’s a note Alonso left for Natalia. It was hidden in the back of a photo frame. The two lawyers materialize at the bench and look at it. The prosecutor says that’s no kind of evidence, a suicide note from the deceased! Natalia is agape.
Don E says it’s very important. We need to verify its authenticity, but we can’t decide beforehand. These two people are accused of a murder that obviously was a suicide. Carlota puts her hand to her head – oh crud!
The judge tells everyone to get back in their places. He reads the suicide note. (To refresh: Sorry, but my life has no meaning without Inaki. I’m going to revenge his murder, then off myself. Have a nice day! Alonso) Natalia anguishes.
The judge says this letter might exonerate the defendants, but I’m not going to accept it as evidence, as the trial is already over. Don E objects.
That’s my decision, says the judge. And here’s why. He reads the jury’s verdict: Innocent.
Jubilation! Carlota’s jaw drops. Paloma hugs Em. Gabriel looks down sadly. Hugs all around. We see Carlota glaring furiously.
The prosecutor smiles and shakes Don E’s hand. What a sporting fellow! Perry Mason won ‘em all too. What can you do but be decent about it? Madeline thanks Don E. Rufi congratulates Chris, calling him Padre. He says just Chris. She says she can’t get used to that.
The padres hug and congratulate Chris. Paloma hugs Natalia who says she can’t wait to throw her arms around Sagrario. Rufi comments to Chris that so many things came to light. Chris says he only hopes that Paloma will let him tell her everything.
Carlota stomps out of the courthouse and down the steps. Don E follows at a distance. Carlota furiously whips off her head scarf. Carlota? says Don E to himself
Em tells German don’t feel too bad - you’re still new at the game. German angrily says it isn’t all due to Don E. Em says why don’t you admit that you’re still learning and that you made some mistakes? A lot of people thought you weren’t ready for a case like this yet. German says did you think so too? I did, says Em. But Chris made the decision on his own. Still, think how it would have been for your career if you’d lost this one. And think how it would have been for them.
Em goes into the courtroom to congratulate Chris. Chris is happy, but he says the one thing that’s weighing on him is Paloma. Em says that makes two of us.
Ivonne and Natalia tell Dr B he’s their hero and Chris thanks him. Dr B’s glad he made it in time. Chris says it’s the hand of God. Or the hand of Macarena, says Dr B. They all agree Macarena was splendid, Natalia included. Chris has his arm around Dr B. Dr B says it was a wonderful man that she left me for. Chris says you were a wonderful friend, a great supporter, and I want to thank you for everything. Man hug. Now, isn’t that civilized?
Madeleine is overcome with emotion. She tells Rufi that it was horrible that Chris had to go through all this, but it helped her find him. Now she just hopes she can get him back. Rufi says talk to him, he’s a good man with a good heart. A man sitting behind them nods sagely.
Madeleine weeps and thanks Rufi for her kindness.
Gabriel tells his dad he’s the best. Don E says the main thing is that justice was done. Paloma tells him that it was really impressive – maybe she’ll study law. Don E says each person has their own gifts, and yours shows in what you’ve done for Gabriel. For him? says Paloma. He’s done so much for me!
Don E says see that smile on him? It wasn’t there before. Daaaad, says Gabriel, embarrassed.
Don E goes over to Chris and they hug. He tells Chris that he’d like to talk to him tomorrow.
Chris then goes over to Paloma. Can we talk? he asks. Paloma says it’s great that you were able to prove your innocence. Con permiso.
Rafa is working on his laptop in his apartment. Luz tells him he can go on to work; she’s okay. He says he knows she isn’t. She says it hurts to think that they’ve taken the little girl and she won’t see her again. Rafa says I gave you an option.
Luz says I know. But I don’t ever want to marry. I know it’s weird for a woman to say that, but I believe marriage ruins everything. It obligates a person to stay with another person. It destroys the magic. And I don’t want to do that with you.
Rafa says I don’t see it that way. Luz says How can you say that after your disaster with Diana? Rafa says I say it despite that. Diana and I didn’t know to keep the magic alive. But with the right person, it can be amazing. I think you and I have a spark.
We do, says Luz, but I don’t believe in marriage, in bonds. Why not? Says Rafa. Did you have a bad experience? Luz looks dramatically out the window. Yes, she says. Her parents’ marriage was horrible. The looked normal on the surface, and they waited too long to divorce. Luz doesn’t want to live like that.
Rafa says we’re different than them. You don’t have to repeat their history. We have magic.
Carlota storms into her house. Maldito! Maldito! She stomps into her room and glares at her big crucifix. It’s not fair! She says. You know it’s not. I hate them! I hate all of them. She grimaces with fury. AAAAAHHHHH intone my beloved bassos.
It’s evening and Anamar is returning to the hotel and is confronted by Romina in the lobby. Anamar says are you staking the place out? Romina says I just wanted you to know that you have no idea who you’re messing with. Anamar says I came to see Em because I realized he’s the love of my life.
What a shameless hussy you are, says Romina. He’s MY husband. Anamar says when I came I didn’t know he was married, and if I knew he was happy, I would have left. But I found out that’s he’s not, so it’s full steam ahead.
Ha, says Romina. I checked and you both have separate rooms. Anamar eyes her up and down and says you are no competition. Now that Paloma… she might be. But she’s leaving Real del Monte. Anamar sashays off. Romina wonders who can help her.
German is very nervous, about to dial Carlota. But he figures she would know by now, and he doesn’t want to face her wrath. Better to let her cool off a little.
Nester comes in and puts a nice spin on German’s role in the trial. After all, he started the case. It’ll look good for his career. He says he was just talking to Carlota and she wants an appointment with him tomorrow, maybe to talk about German. She asked to talk to Nestor alone first, then have German come in.
German decides to dial Carlota. I heard you wanted to talk to me. You are such an insignificant speck, she spits at him. You bet I want to talk to you, but I don’t have time now. Tomorrow.
Carlota says to herself One by one, they’re all going to get it. And right where it hurts.
Some folks are still at the courthouse. Why haven’t they gone out for a nice steak and a beer? Why hasn’t Natalia borrowed someone’s lipstick? Anyway, Natalia tells Chris, Dr B and the padres that she’s going to go to the DF with Ivonne. She has to tell Sagrario that her father is dead. (I hope she leaves out the part about how his life wasn’t worth living without his son - what is Sagrario, chopped liver? And Natalia?)
Ivonne says I guess we’ll never really know how he died. Dr B says the truth usually comes to light over time. Padre B focuses on the part where Alonso said he was going to revenge his son’s death before committing suicide, but there’s no other death that they know of, at least not here in Real del Monte.
Natalia says he thought it was Carlota, but it looks like he wasn’t able to tie Inaki’s death to her. Chris says if somebody killed Inaki, sooner or later that will come to light, because they are indirectly responsible for Alonso’s death. (No, I don’t get his logic either.)
Ivonne says gosh, we’ve all been so miserable for so long, why don’t we talk about these things later? Smile time! Everyone smiles and laughs. Dr B says you’re right. It reminds us how life can change in the blink of an eye, so we need to enjoy it. We’re going to have a great time in Mexico City says Natalia. You, me, Rufi and Paloma.
Paloma is leaving Real del Monte? says Chris.
Gabriel is walking Paloma home. She says that she’s glad things are getting better and that Natalia got off. Gabriel says Chris got off too, Paloma. It’s not like you to hold a grudge. Paloma says I’m just tired of people telling me things that aren’t true just to protect me.
Gabriel says he has to get back to the church. Maybe Paloma could send him an e-mail. Paloma says I don’t have a computer – Carlota didn’t want to be modern. Upstairs, we see Carlota looking out the window at them, disapproving.
Bassos: AAAAHHHHHH.
He strokes her cheek and says But it would be very helpful so we could communicate. Paloma laughs that Carlota is never going to change. He kisses her cheek and tells her he’s going to miss her. Paloma says you’ll be coming to the DF when you’re finished here.
Carlota says another one to add to my list.
Chris is glad to come back to the priests’ quarters. The padres tell him that his room is still here. Chris says I don’t belong here anymore. Padre M says even if you’re not a priest, you can keep up your social work. Chris thanks them, but says he’s going to find some kind of job. He kisses their hands and hugs them and leaves.
The two padres think that since he was innocent, the bishop should reinstate him.
Don E and Madeleine are chatting. Gosh, he loves the law – maybe he’ll take it up again. Madeleine wonders what he thinks her chances are with Chris. He says give it a little time – he’ll help.
Chris kneels at a pew and thanks God for helping with his trial. He wants to unmask Carlota.
Rufi and Paloma are working in the kitchen. Rufi says they’d better get started on packing early, as her party is the day before they leave. Rufi wonders if she’s going to leave her address with her friends. Rufi notes that she herself doesn’t have anybody to give the address to. Paloma says Edmundo!
Carlota comes in. She mentions Chris getting acquitted and says she thought Paloma was mad at him. Paloma says she’s glad they both got acquitted. Rufi says how did you know they got off if you weren’t there? Church ladies, says Carlota.
She tells Paloma that just because he was declared innocent it doesn’t mean that Chris didn’t do some of the things they talked about, like his relationship with Natalia. I suggest you stay away from him permanently. Paloma says I’m leaving town anyway. She gets up and leaves the kitchen.
Rufi says all these secrets that have been kept from Paloma! Like about her father. Carlota says I should break my word to Macarena just so Paloma won’t be mad?
Carlota says maybe it’s God’s will that the two stay separated. She’s going to the DF now, and surely Chris won’t stay in town after all this scandal. Rufi says she has the right to know her family. Carlota says Chris doesn’t have any family. Yes, he does, says Rufi. His mother is still alive. She was at the trial.
Avances: Romina begs Em not to go. She asks Paloma what she should do to save her marriage. Paloma says give it up. Romina sweeps the dishes off the table in anger. Chris is talking to Rufi, getting started on his Carlota unmasking. He goes to see Carlota.
Will he make it to the trial in time? Don’t touch that dial!
NB: Before we start, I’d like to note that throughout this episode Chris keeps lamenting that Paloma has distanced herself from him, and Madeleine keeps lamenting about having abandoned her son and yearning to be close to him. Since it’s wearing to keep reading these things over and over, I didn’t put them in. Insert wherever you like.
Walking along a street Gabriel, Paloma and Lili (who, now freed from the clutches of the nuns, has taken a fashion tip from Anamar and is wearing a super-short skirt) are happily planning Paloma’s upcoming Sweet 18 party. Lili takes off and Paloma and Gabriel decide to look in at the court to see what’s happening.
Romina has showed up in the lobby of the hotel and is reproaching Em. You said you left because we weren’t working out, but I’m not stupid. You just wanted to be here with your little chickiebaby.

He strokes her cheek and says But it would be very helpful so we could communicate. Paloma laughs that Carlota is never going to change. He kisses her cheek and tells her he’s going to miss her. Paloma says you’ll be coming to the DF when you’re finished here.
Carlota says another one to add to my list.
Chris is glad to come back to the priests’ quarters. The padres tell him that his room is still here. Chris says I don’t belong here anymore. Padre M says even if you’re not a priest, you can keep up your social work. Chris thanks them, but says he’s going to find some kind of job. He kisses their hands and hugs them and leaves.
The two padres think that since he was innocent, the bishop should reinstate him.
Don E and Madeleine are chatting. Gosh, he loves the law – maybe he’ll take it up again. Madeleine wonders what he thinks her chances are with Chris. He says give it a little time – he’ll help.
Chris kneels at a pew and thanks God for helping with his trial. He wants to unmask Carlota.
Rufi and Paloma are working in the kitchen. Rufi says they’d better get started on packing early, as her party is the day before they leave. Rufi wonders if she’s going to leave her address with her friends. Rufi notes that she herself doesn’t have anybody to give the address to. Paloma says Edmundo!
Carlota comes in. She mentions Chris getting acquitted and says she thought Paloma was mad at him. Paloma says she’s glad they both got acquitted. Rufi says how did you know they got off if you weren’t there? Church ladies, says Carlota.
She tells Paloma that just because he was declared innocent it doesn’t mean that Chris didn’t do some of the things they talked about, like his relationship with Natalia. I suggest you stay away from him permanently. Paloma says I’m leaving town anyway. She gets up and leaves the kitchen.
Rufi says all these secrets that have been kept from Paloma! Like about her father. Carlota says I should break my word to Macarena just so Paloma won’t be mad?
Carlota says maybe it’s God’s will that the two stay separated. She’s going to the DF now, and surely Chris won’t stay in town after all this scandal. Rufi says she has the right to know her family. Carlota says Chris doesn’t have any family. Yes, he does, says Rufi. His mother is still alive. She was at the trial.
Avances: Romina begs Em not to go. She asks Paloma what she should do to save her marriage. Paloma says give it up. Romina sweeps the dishes off the table in anger. Chris is talking to Rufi, getting started on his Carlota unmasking. He goes to see Carlota.

Maggie..you are just amazing. Of course another incredible title. And I loved the "She spots Em. He spots her. He and Gabriel spot each other". So funny. And in next place: "Her DNA lighs up like a nuclear reactor". Glad we're not working in the same office together. You'd be cracking me up all day and I'd get fired! Thanks Maggie.
Thanks Maggie. Great recap and some wonderful "observations".
Poor Dr. B - kills himself trying to get there and they won't use it and they are innocent anyway. Oh well, enjoyed the keystone cop antics. Glad things worked out and now we can get moving on having La Loca exposed. Seems if she had her way, she'd be offing half the town. I don't thing cursing at God that he doesn't understand her hatred and trying to kill people is going to win her points with the big guy upstairs.
Pal needs to give it a rest with Cris. She's ticked because he kept secrets? She lives with the queen of secrets and doesn't give her half the hard time she is now giving him. C'mon, that whole reasoning is just for the birds...excuse the analogy. it was filling those bird seed holders. of course, Cris should totally understand her stupid reasoning because he's doing the same thing to his mother. He couldn't at least acknowledge or thank her for bringing Eugenius to argue for them? Even the good padre can be a jerk.
Eugenius.....love, love, love him. Was he too cute embarassing Gabriel to Pal? And that smile...wish I could have gotten in on some of that hugging action going on. Now that the trial's done, they better find something else for him and keep him around town.
So back to the love triangles, rectangles, quadangles????? I'm losing track.

Thanks for a great recap Maggie. When Germ heard from Emoon that he was getting a divorce, I think Germ actually went through the motion of zipping up his smile.
I don't know about Rufi. She can keep some secrets quite well.. but every once in awhile she has to spill some beans. She finds out that pJC has a mother still alive. We hear Carloca saying she'll get back at people right where it hurts. Then Rufi tells Carloca pJC has a mother and she is here. Oh, oh... Once Carloca finds out who it is, Madelaine will move towards the top of the list.
Speaking of the list, looks like Gabe finally made it and close to the top. He has a lot going against him. He's nice to Paloma, talks back to Carloca, and is the son of Eugenio. Looks bad for Gabe.

Maggie thanks for your recap i enjoyed reading it.
Has our crazy La Loca finally gone off the deep end? It sounds like she is making a laundry list of who she will be picking off.
Loved the Anamar and RoMEna confrontation in the hotel lobby, RoMEna us really one sick chick.
Glad Eugenio saw the Purple one walking quickly out of the courtroom in her purple fury.
Somehow i don't think German's meeting with her will a good meeting for him.
From tonight's avances Rufi finally opens up that clam shut mouth of hers, and tells Cris he's Paloma's father.
Paloma tells RoMEna to let Emoon go who then has a proper fit sorta like the ones the Purpl one usually has.

Daisynjay i don't know about you but when Carloca was cursing at that big ol' cross i was hoping the big guy upstairs would have it fall on her.
Iknow we have a lot more episodes left so it was wishful thinking.

Thanks Maggie! I too loved "Her DNA light up light a nuclear reactor."
I actually liked Dr. B's scooter riding. He is definately not an expert but he got the job done and I guess I am a bit biased because I just adore him. I really enjoyed how he and Cris had their manly man friend moment about Macarena. Two awesome men.
Time is certainly crawling in Real Del Monte...shouldn't Pal have turned 18 like 3 weeks ago???? Andale!!!
daisynjay...LOL... I couldn't figure out what the heck Pal and Rufi were doing at the table. Thanks for clearing that one up. I also thought Cris would have an "Oh, I am treating my own mother the same way" moment in church.
I thought Liliana looked like a street walker, no pun intended. Her clothes have always been a bit tight but this was a bit much.
Can't wait to see how The Purple One gets hers. Any ideas or fantasies? I prefer something slow, paniful, and terrifying. Whatever it is, I have a feelig we will get to see her eyes get big and that weird horizontal lighting one more magical time.

I am not sure how much my Spanish language facility has advanced, but I have loved this "novella", thanks to all you translators. And I have thoroughly enjoyed the editorial comments and also the observations of all the bloggers. Muchas Gracias!
Now for two questions: How many more episodes until the end? And seond: I am traveling to Guanajuato on Feb. 20 for a month. Might I be able to view ENDA on Mexican television? I would so hate to miss wicked Carlotta's final coming to justice!

Wonderful recap Maggie! I loved Dr. B riding his scooter, he might not be Eduardo/FrancoSantoro on his exciting motorcycle chase from MEPS, but I give him a gold star for trying! He is a much better friend than Orlando -on his honeymoon thinking about himself and Texas.
I Love Gabe for Paloma. Em is too weak and wishy washy.
It was so funny that Carlota was hiding in the back row...gee who in town would be wearing a purple coat??? hummmmmmm

Maggie, I smiled as soon as I saw the title. While your recaps are always spectacular, this one was exceptional. I join Judy and Carlita in that your "Her DNA lights up like a nuclear reactor" was incredible.
Elle, I chuckled at your noting Dr. B's motorcycle ride certainly wasn't up to Franco/Eduardo's standards! Actually, I kept wondering if the paramedics were on standby. If he was comfortable on that wild ride, he certainly hid it well. Bless him.
Perhaps Cris and Paloma's reconciliation (which is hopefully soon) will bridge the rift in Cris and Madeleine's relationship. Although I can't blame Cris for not immediately embracing Madeleine as she's neglected him his entire life, I had hoped he would feel a glimmer of pity after he was found innocent.
Jeff, I could not believe Rufi told Carlota about Cris' mother either. Let's hope her lack of judgement doesn't lead to Cris and Madeline reconciling on her deathbed.
Paloma had the absolute worst outfit on last night - ever. The blue and white checked gingham street sweeping number made her look like Lili's grandmother. That tiny pink bow was cringeworthy.
Carlota is out for her pound of flesh. I'm guessing the first step is to get German fired. Her hit list is growing daily, but think Gabe might have moved into first place.
Welcome Grammaden! Glad you are with us.

Maggie, your title is right up with current events, with the Oscars being announced this morning. This novela is award worthy and Leticia deserves one for best villain/actress.
I enjoyed your recap and your asides. Yes, is Sagario "chopped liver" and Natalia, too? Did Dr. B tell the judge that Alonso put the letter in the picture for his poor daughter to find later when she was grown up. Sure, that would make her feel better. However, I must applaud Dr. B's motorcross skills especially for an older dude.
Rufi definitely is confused as to when to open her mouth and when to close it. She should never give Loca any information since she knows Loca lies (though she says does so to carry out Macarena's wishes and to spare Pal pain) and is deceitful (remember the rings, Rufi.)
Anyway, can't wait to see who will be Carloca's next poor unwitting victim.

Questions- why hasn't Carloca killed Rufi? When is Diana going to find out Samuel da crook stole her money (house)? Why didn't Cristobal ask God to help him forgive his mom? Doesn't anyone in that town know the evil side of Carloca? Her reaction to Paloma spilling the coffee is cause to contacting child abuse authorities. jolie

Great recap, Maggie. You tell the story so well and with so many great descriptive lines. I liked Germy's "mouth twitching in suppressed glee" and the frenzied violins and, of course, your ever-present bassos.
Even if Doc B's wild ride was ultimately pointless, it sure was amusing.
I thought Paloma and Lili standing together looked like a nun and a hooker. Can't the costumers find a happy medium?
Gabriel is so much better than Emo, and I'm going to be very very sad if La Loca offs him. How many people are on her list now? Does she really think she can get rid of all of them and not get caught? Oh, of course she does. No one is smarter or more moral than her.
I knew the moment I saw César Évora on the cast list I was going to love his character, and he does not disappoint. The scene where he embarrassed Gabe was perfect.

I think Carloca hasn't killed Rufi because she believes she can control her. She did consider it, when Rufi left to visit Edmundo, right? She thought about making sure Rufi didn't return.
Julia, your remark on no one being smarter than Carlota (her opinion of course) reminds me of Fernando in MEPS who was always channeling that very thought.
I also love César Évora, his characters are always boisterous and larger than life. His beautiful, well modulated tone of voice and joyous laugh are always a treat.

It seems like everybody has their own timeline. Paloma's 18th birthday is in a few days. Meanwhile Chris was in the hospital near death after being stabbed and is now completely healed. RoMEna got pregnant and had a baby. Chris and Natalia were accused of murder, were thrown in jail and had a trial. But we're still waiting for Paloma's 18th birthday. Must be in dog years.
By the way was anbybody else reminded of Charlie Chaplin while Paloma was walking with Gabriel and Lili?

Julia LOL i know the actress Alison Lozz may love her part that she is playing,but she has to hate the wardrobe people on this novela.
I know the storyline calls for her to think she's not rich but poor who can't afford the latest fashion styles.
She has to be envious of the other young actresses who get to dress their age, i can't understand how they keep dressing her like someone's grandmother.

I really should stop snarking on Paloma's clothes. I will confess that I dressed much the same way when when I was in college, but without the vests. Just dowdy and frumpy. Couldn't be bothered with style. When I went home at school breaks, my mom would pick me up at the airport and tell me I looked like an orphan and buy me something new to wear, but even then I tended to choose baggy nondescript stuff.
Maybe that's why Paloma's wardrobe bothers me so much. I look at her and think, "Do you know how much you're going to cringe years from now when you look at old photos of yourself?"

Poor Paloma. Obviously she is being dressed by a loser from Project Runway. Her outfit looked like a blanket rather than the yellow curtain number and accessorized with what looked like a cross between waders and go go boots. She just goes clumping along with Gabe while he tries to tell her to give Cris a chance to explain. Considering how fast she continually forgives the Purple Beast and Romina I'm amazed that she has held out so long. In any event what business is it of hers that her mother and Cris loved each other years ago or is it because of his proposal the day before Macarena's accident. Two words for paloma = grow up.
Paloma was also very rude last night, first with the snotty comment to Cris and then when she went over to talk to Rufi and ignored the woman she was talking to. Bad form in the household I grew up in.
Actually I kind of liked Rufi saying that cris had a mother. That floored the purple one and she is going to have to figure out who it was. In addition Madeleine has that guard and I'm pretty sure she wouldn't have anything to do with the Carlotta.
Interesting that Madeleine feels that Paloma's looks like some one. It can't be Cris he is too fair. Can only wonder who it is.
I thought that the padre's comment about how the church had abandoned Cris was very telling. He has been abandoned all along first by his mother, then as a result of Carloca's lie, then the church, and finally by his own albeit unknown daughter. I wonder what h will end up doing.
I too was hoping that giant crucifix would topple down an knock the purple monster to hell. Perhaps at the end but i would prefer that she be humiliated in public and then sent to perdition. Obviously Gabe and German have hit the top of the hit list.

Decie girl.. I do kinda like Rufi tormenting Carloca with information and little asides. It's good to see Carloca get upset and not have everything as neat as she wants. But.. she does sometimes tell Carloca too much and start the next Caranvil to start swinging looking for a target.
Paloma maybe doesn't dress that well, but it looks like the only other option available is the short looks of Anamar and, yesterday, Liliana. Looking at them, Paloma's choice of clothes isn't that bad. :)
Finally going to get past these long two months and get to Paloma's birthday. As mentioned, Romina pregnant and had a child. JC imprisoned, stabbed, recovered, freed. A lot has happened in two months. It has been noted that at the beginning Paloma's birthday was before Romina's. I am now thinking that Romina's birthday must be about 10 months before Paloma's. That's way it was only a couple of months after Pal's that they had RoME's at the beginning and so long before they had Pal's this time. I those I heard dos meses from RoME's to Pal's, but it must have been diez meses. ;)

I am hoping, since Pal is our resident Cinderella who has to wear the ugly rags about town, that maybe, just maybe, magically on her 18th birthday her fairy godmother will wack her over the head, and voila, she'll start dressing like a real 18 year old in modern times. Don't need minis or bare midrifs, but I'd be happy to see that poor girl in a cool pair of jeans and a cute sweater set or baby doll top.
Maybe every single guest at Paloma's birthday party will bring clothing as a gift.
"Happy birthday!/This is an intervention!"
"Happy birthday!/This is an intervention!"
We know she has a French grandmother so maybe Madeleine when she find out about her will teach her how to dress properly and with some style.

Julia- Maybe Stacy and Clinton from "What Not To Wear" will jump out from behind one of the giant paintings at Gabe's place during the party? Lol!
ROFL with comments concerning Paloma very drab and uninspired choices of clothes.
Decie girl i was hoping that Crucifix would topple but then i said we're not near the end yet. Curses why do they tease us like this.
Gabriel and German maybe at the top ofthe Purple one's list, once again i can't believe La Loca is going to try and kill half of RDM?
Then again she is so unhinged now in her insanity she just may try it.
