Caray, Caray!

Episode 105

We have an opening for the Friday recapper, to anyone interested. Many thanks to Sarah for the very helpful and entertaining recaps she has written for us!

Here is a summary of events from Friday's episode -- just the three-hour tour. Dr. Pablo has to amputate and cauterize Remigio's left arm after the shark attack. Phillip and the girlz close the casino early to take Lulu to apologize to Remigio.

Leonarda worries about Juan's possible testimony and mentions to Renato that Aimee left the house that evening. He muddies Aimee's plans for a romantic baby-making evening by furiously demanding her whereabouts earlier; she lies that they just went for a walk in town.

Remigio's not very happy to be alive missing an arm, despite Pablo's encouragement. The boyz decide not to tell Juan about Remigio or María del Rosario on top of his legal problems right now.

Noel and Renato both show up at the notary office to check on Regina alone there, and Noel overhears Renato demanding to know if the person who met Juan in his cell was actually a woman. Regina won't tell him, and neither will she admit it to Noel when he returns after eavesdropping; but he's sure it was Aimee anyway.

Aimee explains to Celia that she married Renato trying to forget about Juan, but she's unable to forget him -- and that now both Juan and Renato are in love with Regina.

The boyz think Phillip and the girlz have a lot of nerve showing up at Pablo's, and Gabriel finally admits they are not bad people -- but can't see Remigio anyway because of his condition. The casino trio are devastated to learn of Remigio's accident, especially Lulu.

Leonarda and Noel argue about Aimee's guilt in the family problems; and when he warns her that Juan's testimony may implicate her, Leonarda anxiously asks what he knows -- to which he replies he knows nothing that Leonarda doesn't already know.

Noel then braces Aimee with the news he knows she went to visit Juan and tells her she's playing with fire. She tries to deny it, but he cuts her off cold. He's interested in his son; she'd better watch what she's doing and protect his honor unless she wants Noel to take action against her.

A shaken Rodrigo reveals that he thinks he saw María del Rosario in the town square, her face looking full of sadness and suffering; and he's very upset. Leonarda tries to remind him she's dead and he's imagining it; but he vows that face will follow him the rest of his life. Privately she's furious that Arcadio lied to her and wonders where María del Rosario could be.

María del Rosario is back at Jacinta's. The boyz appear and inform Clemencia et al of Remigio's accident and that they don't plan to tell Juan anything until after his trial.

A tearful Lulu tries to apologize to Remigio, but he wonders that she'd think he'd believe her and sends her away. All it does it upset both of them again.

Back at the casino, Fifi dismays Phillip by informing him she's leaving and going back home, intending to ask her parents' forgiveness. She's sure their troubles are caused by Rodrigo and thinks it might be wise to avoid any further trouble.

Lulu decides to leave the business, too, and try to find a job as a cook or a housekeeper -- anything to prove to Remigio she's sincere.

Next morning, Renato has been up all night with law books preparing to face Juan in court. At the notary office, Regina is struck with fear to hear the morning bells and to know -- even if Juan will never be hers -- that his judgment is near.

Back at the finca while Renato bathes, (perhaps with Noel's threats in mind) Aimee helps him and tries to dissuade Renato from attending the trial; but he wants justice for Regina. When Aimee accuses him of being sorry he married Aimee and not Regina -- and that he doesn't love her anymore -- Renato says she doesn't understanding anything.

He just wants Regina to have whatever life remains to her. He shouts for Aimee to get out, and as she leaves, she thinks privately that if he wants war he can have it! Renato throws a wet towel at the door closing behind her departing back.

Finally, the guards bring a bucket of water for Juan to clean up in before his trial. Quite a contrast between his bath and Aimee bathing Renato. Juan shows the guard his clean hands and face with an evil grimace, and they escort him out of the cell and down the hall: game on!
