Caray, Caray!

I copied Paula's title from La Fea because I was too tired to think of one on my own. Thanks to a bout of insomnia I decided to watch Wed. night's episode of Llena. Good thing too because it was a night of revelations. Here is a very brief rundown of what happened during this night of dogs...

First the big one. Axel confesses to Marianela why he is so tormented. The truth is he has never gotten over the fact that the day he turned 12 yrs old Fedra commanded Bernardo to take Axel to a brothel for his initiation into manhood. How skeevy.

Axel explains he is in anguish, it was the most horrible night of his life. (Dang this kid is a good actor.) After Bernardo picked him up he jumped in the sprinkler to wash himself but he couldn't seem to clean himself off. He never told anyone and he wants to kill himself! He runs out of the house. Some stalker guy is watching him and follows in his car.

Eman is over at the doll house with Ilitia and her parents. Lowrenzo says this very night they will select a date for the wedding. Emanuel sits there sweating it out and getting pummeled by Lowrenzo about the wedding date. Ilitia’s all bent out of shape because Eman and Muneca only care about the orphanage. “How can you care about a bunch of orphan kids more than me?” she whines to Eman. Muneca says "for the same reason that I cared about you when you were little!" Wow, this causes a huge brouhaha. Ilitia wonders aloud to Emanuel, what if they aren’t my real parents?

Meanwhile the parents discuss this aLOUD, so Eman overhears Muneca and Lowrenzo talking about adopting Ilitia and basically confirming they are not her biological parents! Wow, I didn’t see that coming. He calls them on it. So really? Ilitia is all grown up and her parents never told her she’s adopted?

Begona fesses up to Netty and Gladi that Lowrenzo is the baby daddy but she swears them to secrecy because she needs to get proof.

Emiliano speaks well of Netty to Tia C and she seems to soften a bit. She wonders if Fedra is behind the unhappiness and someone other than who she portrays herself to be.

Brandon looked for Axel and couldn’t find him. Mari weeps at the Netty table and tells the support group that Axel is capable of doing something stupid, he’s desperate and could kill himself.

Axel’s in a bar drinking and iritating a couple of ruffians. They beat him while that shady stalker guy observes and takes orders from someone on the phone. Is it Spiderus? Poor Axel, kid can't get a break.

Mari calls Gretel because the Ax man made like wood and split.

Gretel weeps to Eman that Axel is in crisis. He says it’s time to bring their bro back home and he doesn’t care what anyone else says.

Fedra sneaks out again to satsify her urge to perform to a live audience, well, a live judge anyway. Bernardo advises her to be careful and Gretel watches her leave. “Someday everyone willl know who the real Fedra Curiel is.”

Eman is in bed thinking about Mari so he calls her to tell her how much he misses her. They talk about Axel and Eman vows to support him.

Kristel brags to Agent O that she has Mari’s diary. (What? He didn’t know already?) Delicia is on the second floor eavesdropping. She vows to get the diary back.

Next morning Emiliano blusters about the house demanding to know where Fedra is. The entire household is present except Fedra who is..

...asleep face down on a sofa in full dominatrix regalia. The judge walks out in his suit blathering tonterias and she jumps up shrieking “my life is way more complicated than yours and I’ve got to get the hell out of here.” She throws on her jacket, runs out and begins concocting alibis in her head.

Meanwhile Bernardo attempts to make excuses and Emiliano starts throttling him. Cool! The kids pull them apart. Drat! Nobody is happy that Spiderus is clearly protecting his mistress.

Now comes one of the best scenes of all time. Trust me on this as the recap does NOT do it justice. Fedra’s driving like a crazy woman wondering how to get herself out of this mess when a guy in a suit steps in front of her car. I guess his car broke down and he’s a reluctant carjacker. Wow this is her lucky day. She says fine take the car but first beat me up. Guy doesn't want to hit her, he just wants the car. She keeps taunting the poor guy and starts smacking him around so he punches her. She laughs and tells him he hits like a girly-man, come on punch her a good one this time and smacks him in the face giving him a bloody lip. So now he really lets loose, gives her a bloody nose and hurts his hand. He SO wants away from the crazy victim. OK she likes this better, do it again, points to her other cheek. While they argue some other guy runs up and steals her car and the wimpy carjacker runs away. As she calls 911 and orders an ambulance she picks up the reluctant carjacker's knife.

Ilitia is still having a hissy fit, telling Muneca she's never felt like a real daughter to her. What she really feels is "I hate you!"

And that's it. I think I'll try to squeeze in a pre-dawn power nap before I have to go to work.

Una noche de perros = insomnia (Lit. a night of dogs) Thanks to Paula of Fea recaps who shared this great phrase.
