Caray, Caray!

From Yesterday:
The doctor comes to work on Juan’s leg. They find they have common beliefs.

Rod and Leo are talking. Rod gives his take on love. Leo reminds him a little too eagerly that whatever he needs, all he has to do is ask.

Regina enters her room to find Aimee playing possum. She ponders who Renato could have confused with her.

Renato in his room. He remembers Regina’s words. He thinks she’s lying. Why? Why? Aimee is so different. He sits up suddenly.

Aimee is dreaming of Juan. This will be the last time. She sits up and says he’s gone, he abandoned me. Why?

Meanwhile Juan is in the Love Cave thinking about Aimee.

Aimee sits up and calls out his name. Renato calls out Aimee. Regina calls out Renato.

Tonight:
The maid brings Santos something to eat. She gets after him for exerting himself. He asks her to wait. Don’t leave. He’s got a present for her. She is excited about it but not sure she can accept it. He convinces her to take it. They make goo goo eyes at each other. Curly and the Parrot show up and interrupt the two love birds with a giggle. Pedro shows up and says get a move on we have stuff to do.

Aimee is making herself beautiful. Regina shows up and startles her. I’m surprised you are up so early since you were out running around until all hours of the night. Aimee says she likes to be alone. But after that? I looked for you everywhere and you could not be found. Aimee says the Finca is a prison for her. This “carcel” is your home (hogar). Aimee thinks she can convince Renato to move elsewhere. Regina says that Renato will never abandon the land. Why don’t you confide in me and tell me the truth. You went to look for this man Juan del Diablo. Dun, dun, dun!


Back at the Love Cave--Gabe thinks Juan should go back to the house. Juan says no way Jose. They are arguing about it when the gang shows up and fills him in on what’s going on. They say nothing has been said yet. Nobody suspects they were responsible. Juan thinks that is good.

Aimee is getting annoyed with Regina. Enough already! I broke it off with Juan. Are you satisfied? Regina says she is just concerned for her. Regina says when she was out looking for Aimee in the garden she ran into Renato. He was acting really strange. What was he doing? He was out walking on the beach looking for you. That gets her attention but she says it was you he saw you were the one walking on the beach. Of course it is your bad nerves. Now you don’t remember what you are doing. Regina says you are crazy… Rosie shows up with some towels. Aimee dismisses her and says thank you we don’t need you right now. But wait, Regina wants to ask her a question--Did you see me leave last night? You can see Rosenda pondering her answer but I’m pondering how does she keep her boobs from falling out of that blouse?

Leo walks in on Rod in the bathtub. Ack! Now I have to poke my eyes out! She is overcome with--something. (Viewerville is overcome with nausea.) He looks at her like “que the hell! “ She hurriedly leaves the towels and closes the door. She looks like she might swoon with delight at seeing her Hot Bod Rod sitting naked as a jaybird in the bathtub. Groan…

Rosenda answers that last night you entered the house and practically ran to your room. You didn’t talk to anybody. Aimee says see what did I tell you? Regina says it can’t be. You are mistaken. Aimee says now will you leave me in peace? Regina leaves crying. Rosenda looks at Aimee and you know she’s thinking that Aimee owes her a big time. Aimee thanks her “for telling the truth” with some perfume. Rosie assures her that she is at her service whenever she needs her. Which really means “soon I will have enough info to blackmail you with.” Aimee thinks to herself “Regina you are in my hands. Nobody imagines that it was me dressed like you going out. Not even Renato knows the difference.” Oh boy! That sounds like trouble.

Noel is talking to Renato. He’s telling him what went on at the dinner table. Noel says that Rod hauled off and smacked Regina. He goes on to say that Regina is so sensitive. Renato says back up Pops, I used to think that about Regina but she is not what she appears. He doesn’t want to say anything, and you can’t say anything to anybody, but last night he went to look for Aimee and saw Regina on the beach. Noel says no way that could happen Renato says oh but it did. When she returned to the house I was waiting for her. She didn’t see me. Are you sure it was her? (Now really Noel, how could you miss her she glows in the dark.) You can’t be right. It was Regina.

Leo walks in and startles Regina. Leo wants to know what is up. Regina wants to know if there has ever been any family history of madness?

Pedro and Santos are talking to the fisherfolk. They are showing them the money. If they discover it we will be up a creek without a paddle.

Rod is just finding out that his shipment went missing. How could there not be any sign. Well, we’ve never had this problem before. Perhaps they were PIRATES. Rod doesn’t believe it. Bandits maybe, but not PIRATES. Nobody knew about it. The soldier says they are not at fault. They have always been faithful. Remember when we took care of that little matter regarding Juan de Dios? Do you think that I am in your hands? Oh no, we just want to remind you of the “favors” we have done for you in the past. We don’t bite the hand that feeds us. FF>>

Leo confides in Regina that her sister was crazy. Oh no! Regina is shocked and looks with doe eyes at Leo-- Do you think that the madness can be passed from parents to children? Leo says oh, of course. Regina falls for it hook, line, and sinker. Ok, now I want to smack her. Regina has some things to do and wants permission to take Clemencia with her. Why does a grown woman need permission to do anything? Leo doesn’t want anything to upset His Royal Majesty. Leo warns Regina that If something happens to Rod it is all her fault. Leo dreamily remembers seeing her big hunk of man sitting naked, exposed and vulnerable in the tub. Ah, what could have been. Sigh…

Rod is questioning the crew. He wants to know what happened to the shipment. The poor guy said they were like ghosts. Like PIRATES. Rod tells the guys they are good for nothing. Get out of my sight. Damn bandits. (Hey, but they could have been PIRATES.)

Gossip is spreading through the town.

Juan is still in the Love Cave. Gabe brings him some water and food. He says the gossip is that PIRATES are afoot. Juan laughs. He tries to talk with his mouth full. Nice. He asks Gabe about Estrella. Gabe loves her. What will you do if she doesn’t exist? She does, I held her in my arms, I kissed her. My opinion is that you should look for Jimena and tell her the truth. It’s not possible. Go find her. Like Mr. I Love You--But Now Not So Much is the one to give love advice.

Regina is talking to Jimena and Clemencia. Jimena says she needs her freedom. I think Regina is worried about her going back to the camp. She wants Renato or her father to go with her. Jimena says no it’s ok. The girls decide they will go with her to just outside the camp.

The doctor is thinking about Juan and what they talked about. How strange. Renato shows up and the doctor tells him he’s been thinking about Regina. Renato asks him if he likes Regina. Duh! Renato says he’s not really the one to talk to. He needs to talk to Rodrigo. Pablo says if she accepts him he would love her for every. Renato says that Regina has changed a lot. I’m not sure what he says after that.

Regina and Jimena and Clemencia go back to the camp. Regina makes Jimena promise that she will find them if she needs help. Jimena runs back into the gypsy camp. Everyone is glad to see her. Especially Servando. He sneaks up behind her and grabs her. What a slime ball. The other men stand around and laugh. (don’t even get me started.) Gabe saves her. He gets in to a knife fight with Servando. Which might not have been the best idea considering he’s good with knives and all. Servando draws first blood but Gabe finishes it with a really nice take-down. Jimena pleads for him to not kill him. He’s not worth the trouble (no vale la pena). Gabe tells him that he was saved this time so he’d better leave her alone.

Gabe and Jimena go for a walk. She is grateful to him. I’ll always be your friend. Estrella is not important. He helps her over a log and gazes wistfully into her eyes. He tells her he loves her-- as a friend of course. Whatever. How much do you love her? More than you can know. Do you want to help me. Sure. She reads his palm.

Juan is still in the cave with his leg all bandaged up. He remembers the woman with the veil and can’t figure out why he is drawn to her. He remembers touching her. Why does she move me?

MdR is in her cell when the white dove flies in. She looks happy to see it. An Angel…she remembers touching Juan’s face. She says it is you. It is you coming for me. But I can’t go. I can’t abandon my son. I can’t. I can’t.

Aimee thinks it is a fine idea to dress like Regina to look for Juan. Let pobrecita’ Regina take the fall. She dons the habit and sneaks out the window. Looks like we are in for another episode of Everyone Hates Reggie.

Juan and Gabe are talking in the Love Cave. Gabe is worried about his leg but Juan says don’t worry about me. You need to get some rest. Juan says they can’t be seen together. If someone asks he should say that Juan will be back soon or whatever he wants.
I will obey your orders because you are right.

Regina is looking for Aimee. Again, she’s not here. Hey check your closet dumbass. A light bulb goes off in her little pea brain. It is Aimee they saw, not me! Ya think? Oh, no, that is seriously not going to happen. I will not permit it. Regina looks in somebody’s room. She searches the rest of the house. Where is everybody? She goes out on the grounds. She goes back into the house. She runs into Renato. He needs something but she is busy. He wants to ask Aimee something. She gets all jumpy. Regina runs into Clemencia. She tells her that Renato is looking for Aimee and she’s not here. Clemencia says what can we do?. I say rat her out and let her face the music. You know she would do that to you without batting an eye. Regina tells Renato that Aimee is indisposed. She’s resting. Tomorrow she will be better. Renato doesn’t want her to go. He wants to talk to her. Please. She looks pensive.

Leo wants to know why Clemencia is standing guard. She says Aimee has a bad headache. Oh, great, Leo will go get her herbs.

Renato wants to read a poem to Regina. (How can you resist those eyes.) She sits down as he begins to read. FF>>

Aimee enters the Love Cave to find a fire going and Juan is asleep on the floor. He thinks it is Regina. She says it’s me, Aimee. She says she used it to get out of the house and find him. She can’t live without his kisses, his hugs. He pushes her away. Get out. She doesn’t get it. Why are you saying this. I need to know if it is true that you are gong. Are you going to abandon me? Yes. I’m leaving and I will never come back. Why? Why? He tells her she is his worst enemy. Aimee looks shocked.
