Caray, Caray!

I really wanted to do a fun recap of this very juicy episode, but a little shoulder bursitis turned into a big painful bursitis, and so a lot of computer use is out for me for a few days. Instead, I offer you headlines! I apologize for not including all the details. Please fill in the blanks as necessary..



At the house:

-Marienela says she thinks Ilitia is too superficial for a nice guy like Emanuel. Emiliano says he kinda agrees.
- Marianela resists pastry and eats celery.
- Kristel finds out from a home pregnancy test that she’s pregnant. Ilitia is with her when she gets the bad news.

At Netty’s:

- They find out about Axel.
- Netty gets a gift from a secret admirer – it’s the necklace she hocked.

At the hospital:

- Marianela urges Axel to wake up. He squeezes her hand! After that he’s non-responsive again. The doctor says it’s just an involuntary reflex, but we know better.
- Emiliano is beside himself with guilt and sorrow, Fedra seems to distance herself and says Axel chose his lifestyle. Emiliano says something between them just broke, and he’ll never feel the same way about her again. After he leaves the room and she’s alone with Axel, she calls Axel a traitor for having told Marianela about the prostitute visit back when he was 12. Flashback of hysterical 12-year old Axel being dragged off by Bernardo while Fedra tells him he’ll thank her later.
- Emiliano wants Axel transferred to another hospital. Marianela and Emanuel protest.
- Emanuel laments that his family is so fragmented. Marianela says they need love.
- Fedra finds out that Bernardo knew where Axel was. She feels betrayed.
- Gretel prays for Axel. Oliver reassures her; she says she’ll never make anyone happy. He tells her to go on home, then carries her out. Sweet scene.
- The doctor tells the family only one person can stay. Emiliano decides to stay and has to remind Fedra to say goodbye to Axel. She gives Axel a hasty peck and heads home.

At Muneca’s house:

- Her clothes still look awkward and way too tight.
- She is packing boxes for the orphans. She wants to store them in the storage shed. The chauffeur tells her Lorenzo locked it and told him to stay away. She says it’s her house. She has him break the lock, goes inside and finds boxes which – whoops! – are full of pirated porn flicks. - Lorenzo shows up and says those men with guns made him put their stuff there. She wants to call the police.

At the house:

- Kristel calls Ilitia and tells her Marianela is with Emanuel at the hospital.
- Kristel tells Mauricio “they” are pregnant. He tells her to get rid of it, no way is he interested in marriage.
-- Maximo tells Carlota that Fedra is evil. She doesn’t believe him. You’ll be sorry later, he says. He says Emiliano found Fedra washed up naked on a beach. I wish they’d do a flashback of that.
- Nereida makes Kristel a special herb tea because she’s “late.” Fedra, who is home now, tastes it and grimaces and then dumps it in a potted plant.
- Nereida suspects Bernardo’s limp is not just the flu and she’s going to find out.

At the hospital:

- Netty shows up and Emiliano is distraught and tells her he needs a hug. They hug a long time and she says she’s always dreamed of being in his arms. What? he says, be honest with me! Te quiero, she says.
- Emiliano tries to get Marianela to have some dessert, but she’s having salad. She says the whole world tells her she’s too fat. He tells her she’s the loveliest person he’s ever known. Their faces come close and just then Ilitia walks in.

Avances: Emiliano and Netty kiss.
