Corazon Salvaje Episode #115, Ren is raped, Leo gets a dosage of her own medicine, Gabe and Jime profess their love for eac

Aimee is helping Renie to bed. I don't think how she pretends to do it with him. He is almost unconscious.

Serv is with the dress maker. The dressmaker gives him Elo's letter and he gives her a little bag of money.

Salma is thinking about what Jime told her about love being the most important thing in the world. Salma's "abuelos walk in the room and apologize to her for delaying the trip and thank her for her understanding. Los abuelos think Salma is doing this out of the goodness of her hart. Abuelo gives her a brazalette that was Mari's at her age. Salma, says no, no I can't. They insist and also give her some money. Salma can not resist.

Aimee is having sex with Renato's corpse, eeer, body. Aimee is really sick. Renato's sees a distorted image of her. Aime keep asking him where is his will and he belongs to her.

Salma is paying up Serv. Lulu is hot on her heels. Lulu sees how Salma gives Serv more money for Intel on Branco. Serv tells her Branco is in someplace called Costa Esmeralda.

Remi is back with the fish folk. They happy about him being back. The big guy asks Remi if he made his peace with Lulu. Remi tells him not to mention Lulu to him anymore. Remi is going to get some water, Eusebio is going to help him, but Remi gives Eus a look of "don't you dare". Poor Eusebio steps back. Pedro asks Remi why didn't he wait to be pick up by them. Coli says, yes we would've picked you up. Remi tells them listen, unfortunately I am the bearer of bad news. Remi tells them about MDR illness and the Juan needs now more than ever.

MDR is taking a ride around town. Juan and Reggie promised her from now on they'll do whatever she wants.

It seems the love potion only renders Renato limp for love making. Renie is back on his feet getting dressed. Aimee is asking him giggling (I can not stand her giggles) if he liked it. That woman has no shame. Renato is not a happy camper. Renato tells her she disgust him and tells her to go away. Renato tells her he'll pay her to go away. Renato leaves the room and Aimee tells herself, the money she paid the witch was a good investment.

Salma is thinking about the generosity of the abuelos, then she thinks about Serv giving her Barnco's location, then she thinks when Branco telling her to go to hell. Salma is convinced that she is a bad person.

Juan and Reggie have taken MDR shopping. They are treating her like a spoilled child buying for her everything she put her eyes on. Fully comes to talk to Juan about the trial. Fully tells Juan that his testimony, Fully, at the trial was neutral. He wants to become friends agian with Juan. Fully invites Juan for the soiree at his house tonight. Juan declines the invitation, but has second thoughts when Fully tells him that Renie is going to be there also. Juan joins the girls back. MDR gives him a taste of something she is eating. Juan takes it and gives her a hug.

Renie is taking a bath thinking about what happened to him. It seems he is not using any soap. Renato is thinking about Aimee and she gave him something to make him lose his will. He's pretty upset he says "maldita sea" and goes underwater. Renato if you could do every one a favor and stay down. sigh a gal can only wish.

Fully is someplace I don't know where. It doesn't look like home. He signals someone to join him, me thinks is Serv. Yep, is him and Serv gives him the letter Elo left for Fed with the dressmaker as a toke of his loyalty. Fully is very surprised about the content of the letter. it really sucks now to be Fed or Elo. At the same time Fed is thinking about how pretty soon he'll everything that is Fully's, his money, his wifey, and power. I thought Fed had Fully's wife already. Back to Fully, he instructs Sev to have the letter delivered to the intended recipient. Sev try to protest but Fully orders him to do as he is told. Good move by Fully. It seems he does not want to arouse any suspicion. Serv leaves. Fully is still not believing what the letter says.

Juan and Renie arrive home with their child. Juan just bought the whole store. They are overwhelming her, I think. MDR wants to have some alone time with Clemencia. Juan asks Reggie that he some alone time. Reggie understands his ply. Juan leaves the cottage for a walk. MDR tells Clemencia about how she is trying to hide her illness because she doesn't want them to find out about her. But they do not fool her. MDR know they know. MDR doesn't want them to suffer on her account. She is happy she is going to see JD soon. MDR has a cough attack and we see blood on her hanky again. MDR want to be hugged by Clem the same Clem hugged her when MDR was a youngster. Clem hugs her and MDR talks about wanting to be with JD. JD is outside the window waiting for her.

Juan is ridding on the beach. MDR and Clem continue their crying fest. Clem asks her about the letter. MDR tells that Arca had the letter. Clem asks her about her content. MDR tells her the letter said that Constance suspected Leo poisoning her.
Clem asks MDR if she sure. MDR tells her she read the letter more than once. MDR didn't who Constanza was but she knew the mentioned in the letter was Leo her sister. Clem I didn't know Leo's evilness would go this far. God forgive her.

Juan is walking on the beach blaming Leo and Rod for what is happening to him. Juan is also thinking about the promise he made his mom and that he won't break it. Then Juan thinks about Fully invite to play cards and that Ren is going to be there. I see Renie losing everything tonight at Fully's house.

Celia knocks in Renato's door. she brings the invite to the poker game.

The dressmaker gives Fed the letter Elo left for him. Fed talks to himself, since the casino was closed there's nothing to entertain a man other than banging his best friend's wife in this town. Now that Elo is not coming there's nothing to do, unless I go to her house and play cards with the cuckold of her husband as if nothing is happening.

Jeeez, the weather and tine in this TN changes so rapidly. I thought when Aimee and Ren where doing the deed was night, well it seems it was the middle of the day. It was nice and sunny. As it was just seconds ago when Juan was taking his stroll on the beach. Now is pitch dark at the finca. Leo is thinking how alone she is now. Then she takes a sip of cognac, uh oh. MDR is in Leo's room. Is Leo hallucinating? MDR startles Leo. Leo drops the glass, which probably is a good thing knowing what we know about the cognac in that house, and asks MDR What are you doing here. Leo tells MDR you have nothing to do in this house and tells her to leave. Leo tries to drag MDR and force her to leave. MDR tells her I'll leave but first you have to accompany me. MDR tells Leo how a bad cat she has been. MDR wants to take Leo to the dungeons. Leo of course doesn't want to go there. MDR drags her. Wow! MDR is very strong. Hard to believe that sickly woman would be able to drag strong Leo as if she was a kid. She drags Leo. I hope MDR know what she is doing. What about if Orca is down there.

Jim is contemplating her engagement ring. Gabe approaches her and cover her eyes. Jime recognizes his hands. Gabe asks her,where she's been. She said she wanted to be alone. They profess their love for eac other. Jime is concern about heir marriage because of her being a gitana and he being white. Gabe placates all her concerns and to seal the deal gives a kiss. I've noticed since Jimena was sold to the tavern guy, she doesn't dress like a gitana any more. She is fully dressed now. She is looks prettier. Gabe just has have and idea to proof his love for Jime.

The sisters are in the dungeon. MDR takes Leo to the room where she had her prisoner. MDR throws in Leo's face that all Leo did to MDR was for Rod's love. But nothing worked because Rod is still in love with MDR. Take that Leo hateful cow. Leo can't believe her ears. Rod still in love with MDR? MDR my poor sister, the only thing you accomplished was the destruction of your family. But Juan and Reggie are going to be happy the same way JD and I are going to be in eternity. MDR tells her how Arca tried to rape her and how poor Mirta saved her. MDR tells Leo that was the day when all her suffering ended. MDR tells Leo who she trusted her and how much che loved. But Leo only did bad things to MDR. MDR forgives her and pities her because Leo is going to end up alone. MDR leaves her in the room. Leo cries out to MDR not to leave her alone. Leo just sits in bed begging MDR no to leave her alone there.

Gabe put a crown made of flowers on Jime's head. They are inside a hart made of candles near the water falls. Gabe profess their love for each other. Too sweet for my taste. Yeah, yeash, yeah we get it you guys love each other. I think Gabe is getting lucky tonight. they are in the water now. Seriously?

That's all for tonight.

El Clon Friday July 30: Summary for Discussion

Tonight, in Fez, Ali is profoundly troubled by Albieri’s science project; Jade loses her faith in Lucas; and a cup shatters. And in Miami, Lucas proves to be a well-meaning but largely clueless father.

We are back in the ruins with Albieri, Ali and Daniel. Daniel plays while the grown-ups talk.

Albieri tries to defend his science against Ali’s faith. Cloning is a way of overcoming death, claims Albieri. But every living soul must experience death, says Ali. And besides, Daniel is neither a young Lucas nor a Diego brought back to life. He is simply a man without the bonds of family (lazos familiares). Who, after all, is his father? Lucas? Lucas’s father? Worse still he doesn’t even have a mother. (Nisiquiera tiene madre).

Does he know yet? asks Ali. No, says Albieri. That’s why I’m here, so you can be there when I tell him. Albieri is afraid of Daniel’s reaction to the truth, but perhaps even more afraid of the world’s reaction. At the same time, he is anxious to hear what the world has to say. That need to know has kept him from suicide in his most desperate hours.

Albieri has committed a grave sin, believes Ali. It is a sin that might cause Allah to remove the pillars that support the world. Just as Adam’s sin drove all of humanity from paradise, so will the whole world pay for Albieri’s sin.

Abrupt segue to the Casa Ferrer in Miami, where the unwitting clone progenitor, Lucas, continues his conversation with his presumably (although not obviously) ensouled daughter. He talks optimistically about her future, reminding her that drugs are harmful. The two of them can use the bad experiences and learn from them, says Lucas earnestly. We’ll try to listen to each other… I need things for the house, Nati says flatly. And I’d like you to find a place closer to home, says her father. Fine, says Nati. [Are these two listening to each other right now? I think not]

Lucas comes back downstairs where Marisa is still posing in the same white broccoli band. [This is one loooooong day]. She thinks they should demand explanations from Natalia, but Lucas says they should simply be supportive. And lay off Alejandro, okay? (No hostigues más a Alejandro.)

In Ali’s house in Fez, a euphoric Jade is looking forward to being with Lucas. But when she phones him, her joy quickly turns to despair and anger. He says he won’t be there for her when she gets to Miami:
Se me presentó un problema en la casa.
I have a problem at home. (Literally, A problem at home presented itself to me.)
She rages against him, reminding him that she also has complications in her life, and a daughter to think about, and she has sacrificed everything to be with him. My uncle never believed in you, she tells him, and now I understand he was right. I never want to see you again.
Zoraida then tells Jade that Said will never take her back. Estoy perdida, laments Jade. (I’m lost)

In a church in Miami, Dora is praying to the virgin to spare her life. Her friend Miguel happens to be there (he prays there every day, he says). He sees how distressed she is and asks if he can help her. He invites her to the bar for some distraction. No thanks, says Dora (but nicely).

In the Casa Ferrer, Nati is frantically pawing through her stuff, apparently looking for drugs or money or both, but when she hears her father coming, she quickly takes her seat at a small table. Tell me what you need, he says. She gives him a list: air conditioner, fridge, tv, washer.

Alej has a chance to buy a good used car from Pedro’s aunt with the money he earned at his last fight. But he decides that Nati’s needs are more important. He’ll hold off on the car. But a car’s not a luxury in Miami, Gloria reminds him.

Hilda and Karla sit at a table at Gloria’s and discuss the best way to part fools from their money. Ramoncito listens eagerly. Somehow he has gleaned from their conversation that Miss K is with child and the baby’s father is filthy rich (literally, swimming in money) (El padre está nadando en dinero.) He runs to Gloria with the chisme but she shuts him down quickly: ¡A trabajar! (get to work!)

Roberto and Andrea get to observe a group session at a public drug rehab clinic. One by one, the participants describe the banal horrors of their lives on drugs. The conclusion: if you’re in trouble with drugs, get help! (Pide ayuda!) [I thought they did a good job here and the stories rang true.]

Nati joins Alej at their new apartment. He’s excited about the surprise he has waiting for her. With the money from his fight, he’s filled her wish list, starting with the most important thing, the air conditioner. Weren’t you going to buy a car? she asks. Yeah, but it was more important to do this for you. So… you spent the money? she asks. Alejandro is chattering happily about brownies and ice cream and freezers. He proudly brings a gloppy whipped cream creation to the table – where Nati has fallen into a very druggy looking sleep.

In the hotel room, Malicia is hard at work at her laptop, plagiarizing Cristina’s report. Escobarde gives her the good news: they can move into their apartment. Don’t you think we should wait until it’s furnished? she asks. But Raulito doesn’t want to pay rent on two places. Oh and by the way, I’m going to put the apartment in my name, you know, for Fernando’s sake…

Luisa and Cris are walking through the medina trying to track down the slippery Albieri. Cristina is talking on her cell to Rogelio, telling him she can’t understand why Malicia can’t find her report, that she should keep looking for it because it’s there.

And we are back in the ruins. Daniel tells Ali how he has dreamed of this place and he has dreamed of a woman with a veil, although he could never quite see her face. Albieri asks Ali if he thinks Daniel’s experience is una manifestación de la memoria genética. The most important question for Ali is whether Daniel can be said to have a soul. He has feelings, Albieri tells him. No sé, no lo sé, says Ali.

Leo, now left alone in the resort, remembers Amalia’s accusation that he was comparing her to Cristina. Then an image of a dancing Cristina flits across his mind. No, he tells himself sternly: Cristina está fuera de mi vida. (she’s out of my life).

In a gorgeously posed scene in Ali’s house, a disconsolate Jade sits on the floor with her head in Zoraida’s lap, while the women of the house stand by like a silent Greek chorus. Zoraida is telling her that el amor es una serpiente (love is a snake) that wraps itself around you like a necklace and then, when you’re not paying attention, it bites you. (cuando no te das cuenta, te muerda.) Lucas, says Jade, is going to pay for this. [Maybe Zoraida should be giving this lesson to Zein.]

Our grumpy family group is sitting in the airport in Fez -- perhaps their Aeronovela flight is delayed -- doing their best to keep the foul mood going. You better not tell anyone in Miami about this novio stuff, Samira warns Jadiya. Me, I’d love it if Tio Ali got me a novio, answers Jadiya. Prince Amin is caught mid-ogle by his sister and cousin. The Naz is so annoyed, she is actually silent. Amina is still looking for excuses to interact with Mohamed and drive Latifa crazy. And of course Said is still bemoaning his loss of Jade:
Arrojé a Jade al viento pero con ella arrojé mi corazón también.
I cast Jade to the wind but I cast out my own heart with her.
Rania is still jealous of Jade and Amina is still telling her: You’re Number One!

When Fernando shows up late at Empresa Ferrer, Clara tries unsuccessfully to make him take responsibility for his actions. Enrique tells her that after his recent relapse, he doesn’t feel he has the moral standing to talk to Fernando. That’s ok, says Clara, it’s something Escobar and I have to do.

Lucas is at home with Mama Rosa. He opens up to her, tells her he would love to fly to Morocco to explain to Jade that nothing has changed between them, but he simply can’t leave Nati right now. He wonders if:
por haber estado pendiente de Jade, descuidé a mi hija.
...because of being so concerned with Jade, I neglected my daughter.
Reluctantly, he concludes:
No me voy a reunir con ella hasta que me hija esté bien.
I’m not going to get back together with her until my daughter is well. [And that's not looking like it's going to happen any time soon!]

Tonight’s final scenes: Ali leads Daniel into his house in Fez. Esta es mi casa, muchacho, he says. Daniel scratches his head, looks around wonderingly. Meanwhile, in another part of the house where Zoraida and Jade are sitting quietly, a coffee cup (the coffee cup?) falls to the floor and breaks.
¿Cómo se rompió esta taza si nadie la tocó?
How did this cup break when nobody touched it? Zoraida wants to know.
Déjala, ya no tiene importancia. Lo que está escrito ya ahí se cumplió.
Let it be, it’s not important anymore. What is written has already been fulfilled/come to fruition here.

Dinero #165, 7/30/10: Marian makes a desperate plea and Susana plans revenge with glee.

Susana interrupts the daily meeting to tell Rafa that Marian and her posse have arrived to speak with him. The employees hoot and holler while Ale looks sour. Rafa is hesitant to leave the meeting but Ale prods him into going.

While Julieta primps for a night on the town, Jaime pours his heart out to a portrait of Jesus. He knows what he is doing is wrong and begs for forgiveness. Suddenly Jaime has an epiphany and knows what he has to do.

Jorge and Rosario have a pleasant breakfast at the apartment. Rosario is still shaken up over the ghost at the hacienda. Jorge assures her Marco will handle it as well as he has all of their other affairs.

Rafa sits down in his office with Marian and an engineer named Abelardo Mendoza Torres-Mocha. Rafa offers Mocha a deal on the used trucks that he readily accepts. (I missed the particulars; the subtitles were way off tonight.) Later, the engineer shakes Rafa’s hand and leaves with a smile. Marian asks Rafa to lunch to celebrate their good luck and he excitedly accepts.

Ale unsuccessfully tries to convince the employees that she isn’t bothered by the relationship between Rafa and Marian. She cuts the meeting short when it gets too uncomfortable for her. Ale tells Susana she heard Rafa and his boys club talking about Rafa’s bachelor party. Rosaura, Claudia, and Generala can’t help but butt in and offer to throw a bachelorette party for Ale. After all, she’s getting married too. Ale wants to turn them down but has to give in once the girls put a hard sell on her. (If only they could sell cars as well as they sold the party idea.)

Ramirez agrees to put in a good word for Marino to Beltran and Arcadia. Secretly, Ramirez dreads the day Marino finds out about his relationship with Marino’s ex wife. He’s sure Marino will kill him.

Marco tells Chavez about the horrible time Rosario and Jorge had at the hacienda. Chavez is unnerved when Marco tells him they saw two headless ghosts. Now Marco has to have El Gran Brujo perform an exorcism to get things back to normal.

Meanwhile, Quintana is discussing the ghosts with his business partner Rendon. One of the ghosts was a fake but both guys are frightened when they can’t figure out who the second ghost could have been. Quintana snaps out of it and vows to find out what’s really going on.

Jaime arrives at Rafa’s with bags full of goodies for the bachelor party. He promises Leonor the party will be good, clean fun. Julieta warns Jaime that it better be. VVV calls and screeches at Leonor about not being able to talk to Rafa. Leonor tells Vicky Rafa is going to be busy since tonight is his bachelor party. “QUÉ?!

Marian and Rafa order lunch but the fun deflates when Marian places her hand on Rafa’s. Rafa gently pulls his hand away and tells Marian he is getting married. Marian bursts into tears which makes Rafa feel horrible. Marian is crushed she lost Rafa to Ale. Rafa tries to correct her but her sobs drown out his explanation.

Susana tries to snap Ale out of her blue mood over Rafa. She’s depressed that Rafa is out having a good time with Marian. Susana wonders if Marian would be invited to Rafa’s wedding then comes up with a devious idea. “What if Marian received an anonymous invitation to Rafa’s wedding? Rafa destroyed both our lives so why shouldn’t we play dirty?” (Bad karma for you, Susana!! I’m so disappointed.) Ale is impressed at Susana’s underhanded plan.

VVV paces and screams herself into a frenzy over the bachelor party. She will not allow it!! Vicky calls Jamie but he lets it ring. Julieta is tired of VVV’s constant calls and makes Jaime answer. Vicky demands Jaime tell her where the party is going to be but Jaime truly doesn’t know.

Rafa paces around the table trying to think of something to make Marian stops crying. Marian stops sobbing but still begs Rafa to break off his engagement and come work for her.

Azucena gets back from a visit to the del Castillo house and gives Rosario a package of paperwork the neighbor collected. The information is from Ginebra, Suiza, which confuses Jorge because he can’t think of anyone he knows there. (I couldn’t piece this together very well. Can anyone clarify?)

Marian apologizes for making a scene. She thought Rafa knew the depth of her feelings for him. Marian loved Rafa from the moment she met him. But she was constantly in Ale’s shadow and had to fight for Rafa’s affection. Now Marian is upset that Rafa has been so unfaithful to his girlfriend. “You can’t love your novia. You love Alejandra.”

Jaime calls Pepeto to ask where they should have the bachelor party. Pepeto agrees to figure it out and later they’ll plan the, ahem, entertainment.

Ale is still kicking herself over believing Rafa’s lies. She’s still going to marry Marco even though she loves Rafa. She can’t think of anything else to do.

Marian demands to know why Rafa isn’t with Ale when he obviously loves her so much. Rafa flatly replies that they both have their own lives, families, and significant others. Marian says it isn’t fair for Rafa to marry Vicky when he does not love her. “Your relationship with Ale is impossible and your relationship with Vicky is going to fail. Leave the both of them and come work for me. I can make you the director of corporate sales. You could be happy by my side.” Rafa’s reply will have to wait until Monday.

Avances: Susana enacts her evil plan. It's too ugly, I can't look.

El Clon Thursday July 29: Summary for Discussion

In tonight’s episode, Amalia and Leo call it quits; Lucas agrees to unite forces with Marisa for Nati’s sake; Malicia takes credit for Cristina’s work and gets ready to elbow her out; and Ali comes face to face with Albieri’s handiwork.


We are back on the street with Lucas and a flat, numbed-out looking Natalia. He is desperate to know that she is okay. She is desperate to get money. They head back to the Casa Ferrer.

At her gynecologic visit, the doctor asks Dora to describe her symptoms. Then we’ll do the exam and Pap smear, she says, and you can come back in a few days for the results. For now: No nos adelantemos todavía. (Let’s not get ahead of ourselves yet.)

Luisa catches up with Cristina at the hotel in Fez. Cris tries to prepare Luisa for the possiblity that Albieri may indeed have a lover but if he does, it’s meaningless. One may be dazzled momentarily (dejar deslumbrar)… We’re not like that, says Luisa. (But you have to forgive her, Luisa. Being in Fez and remembering her fateful dalliance with Diego has distorted her perspective a bit.) Hmm, on second thought, says Cris, if he were here for a honeymoon, why would he take Daniel with him?

Today you get to meet my friend, Ali, says Albieri to Daniel as they wander through the medina together. Daniel is glad to hear it although he admits that what Albieri has said so far about the mother who died me tienes muy confundido. (has me very confused). He loves his mother Dora, she’s the only mother he’s known, she raised him and:
Yo no quiero que mi madre Dora salga lastimada.
I don’t want my mother Dora to end up getting hurt.

Lucas brings Nati home and asks Rosa to fix a meal for her. I’m not hungry, says Nati. She never eats anymore, offers Rosa. The girls these days think it’s beautiful ser hueso y pellejo (to be skin and bones, or literally ‘bone and hide’) she says indulgently. When Lucas asks Nati about her arrest, she denies any responsibility. The drugs weren’t hers, someone put them in her bag (morral). The only one who heard the policeman say she was drugged was her mother and she’s a liar…

Marisa comes downstairs and tells them Andrea heard what the policeman said as well. Nati repeats her litany of abuses suffered at Marisa’s hands. (Interestingly, on repetition, it loses force and Nati just sounds like a drugged out, spoiled brat while Marisa can play the injured party.) Rosa slips away and calls Enrique. Nati is possessed by a demon, she tells him, and you are the only one who understands about spirits. One Ghostbuster on the way, he assures her.

Clara is trying to find Fernando. He hasn’t shown up at work and no one answers the phone at home. She calls Andrea who tells her she hasn’t seen him, but tries to cover without exactly lying, saying they just have different schedules.

Clara tells her friend Carolina how worried she is about her son and Caro confesses that indeed she has noticed he’s been very distracted lately (está muy disperso) and she’s concerned about his behavior too. She suggests finding professional help for him.

Nati’s argument with her parents is becoming increasingly shrill. I want money, you make me crazy (me sacan de quicio), I’m tired of your stupidity… Enrique walks in on this sorry performance and Lucas asks him if he knows anyone who can help them.
No me van a mandar a ningún loquero!
You’re not sending me to any shrink! screams Nati.
Enrique tells them she is high on cocaine (está llena de cocaína). He is sure because looking at Nati is like looking in a mirror. Parents always want to hide the truth at first because of shame and guilt…
It’s true, says Marisa, I do feel guilty. Did you hear what my daughter said to me? Enrique tells her she shouldn’t feel guilty [Excuse me? Yes, she should feel guilty, even if Nati is ultimately responsible for the course of her life!]
In his case, he says:
El único responsible de haber entrado en las drogas era yo; y el único responsable de salir de las drogas era yo también.
I was the only one responsible for getting into drugs; and I was also the only one responsible for getting away from drugs.
But, he adds:
No hacemos nada lanzándole una cuerda a Natalia si ella no se quiere.
We accomplish nothing throwing a lifeline to Natalia if she doesn’t want it.

It’s time for family farewells at Ali’s house. Poor deluded Mohamed says they’ll be back soon for the weddings of the children to the novios selected by Abdul. The Naz repeats that she’d prefer to die barren (seca) than married to a mummy. When the group has left, Ali tells Zoraida that he is worried about Jade. He is troubled by Said’s plan to keep her from seeing Jadiya. He doesn’t trust Zein, calls him un aventurero, and says he’s only interesting in seducing women. Asking Zoraida not to say anything to Jade about Said’s threats, he heads off for a walk in the ruins to think.

And of course at that moment, Daniel is telling Albieri, as they walk through the ruins, that he feels as if he has been here many times before. [Of course we’ve seen him there before at least once.]

The turtledoves Amalia and Leo have stopped cooing. Amalia is on her way back to Miami. Leo accuses her of behaving like a spoiled brat (malcriada) and she tells him it’s clear he isn’t over Cristina. The engagement is toast.

Escobarde phones Fernando for a man-to-man conversation. Fer hangs up on him. Then the moronic Escobarde turns to Anita and complains that Clara is behaving badly and Malicia is sweet, good and honest. (Anita must have taken an anti-emetic before coming to work because she manages to listen to this without puking.)

That sweet Malicia has just assured Cristina, on the phone, that she has a Very Important Report (VIR) in hand that Cristina prepared before she left. To Rogelio, however, she says the VIR is nowhere to be found. She will do her best to write it tonight. But that is weeks of work, he says. Hey, if you have that VIR for me tomorrow, I’ll give you a promotion! (So is Rogelio a sly fox or a fool?)

At the gym, Alej confides to Pablo that he is getting distracted by Natalia’s problems. He’s afraid Rudy (I suppose the new trainer) will notice and tell Michael Gonzales.

And in Fez, Albieri is giving Daniel a history lesson about the ruins, originally a kasbah or fortress. Who should come walking along but Ali…

Jade bounces happily into Ali’s house and tells Zoraida all about her plan to get together with Lucas in Miami. She confesses she hasn’t told Zein about Lucas for fear he would return her to Said. Soon Lucas and I will be together forever! (Oh Jade!)

While Jade is in Fez dreaming of her happy ever after with Lucas, Lucas is in Miami with Marisa proposing that they join forces for the sake of their daughter. Does that include forgetting about Jade? she wants to know. Whatever it takes, he says.

This is the day for the fieldtrip to the rehab facility. As Roberto stands by, Andrea calls the Casa Ferrer looking for Natalia. Rosa tells her she’s sleeping. Fernando is sleeping in today as well. Why did you want Natalia to come? asks Roberto. Is she using drugs too. [Looks like the only one who’s getting the lesson today is the one who doesn’t need it!]

Back in the ruins, it finally happens! A wandering Ali encounters the clone! As he stares at Daniel, Ali’s face is a study in bewilderment, disbelief and vague displeasure. Lucas? he asks uncertainly. Daniel turns to Albieri and asks why this man is calling him Lucas, says he’s the second person to do so. What did you do Albieri? says a horrified Ali. You defied Allah! Why is he looking at me like that? asks Daniel. He’s not looking at you, Albieri says, he’s looking at me. To Ali he says: Now you know!

Jade and Zoraida continue their conversation. Jade is sure that Lucas loves her. He has proven that to her. She was afraid he wouldn’t have the courage, that there would be problems keeping them apart as in the past. She is convinced that this time it is different. She knows Said will try to pressure her with Jadiya’s custody, but she’s confident she can prevail. She believes that Allah has sent Zein to her in order to reunite her with Lucas.

In Miami, Lucas is telling Rosa that although Jade is very important to him, Natalia is his priority right now. He’ll have to postpone his plans with Jade but he’s sure she’ll understand. He knows Natalia has emotional problems and her behavior has been difficult, but now he is there to take care of her. [It sounds as if he is at Step One in Enrique’s Parental Reaction Manual – he is minimizing the extent of Natalia’s problems and what it will take to deal with them.]

Marisa, meanwhile, seems to have rebounded nicely from her momentary bout of self-doubt and guilt. She tells Rosa that Lucas should feel guilty because he knows he is responsible for Nati’s problems.

Lucas goes up to Nati’s room and offers to set things straight with Alej if she will promise not to take drugs anymore. You know I’d do anything for you, he says.

And the final scene belongs to those who have met at the Kasbah:
Ali: ¿Es tu ahijado, Albieri? (Is this your godson, Albieri?)
Albieri: Daniel es el clon de Lucas (Daniel is Lucas’s clone.)

Corazon Salvaje 7/29/10 Time is Running Short for Everyone

Ep. 114

We start with Aimee putting the luuuuuv potion in the liquor decantor and glass. She looks very pleased with herself.

Juan and MdR are out in a boat. You couldn’t pay me enough to get out in that little boat. MdR is telling Juan that the sea was the beginning of her happiness. She remembers back to getting her shoe stuck and toppling over into the ocean. JDD was her savior. They have a conversation but I can’t hear it over the waves.

Clemencia and Reggie are in the hut on the beach. Clemencia thinks the story of MdR and Juan De Dios is a very sad story of love. Reggie agrees. When JDD comes for her they will be eternally happy.

Back on the little boat MdR tells Juan that she needs to be beside his father JDD. Juan tells her not to say such things. Juan cries.

Back in the hut Regina is happy to be in love. Clemencia is very happy for her. Reggie says sit down. I have something very important to tell you. MdR told me about a letter. A very important letter from my mother. Remember you were looking for it? But that’s impossible MdR didn’t know about it. Clemencia remembers back to when Constanza gave her the letter and made Clem promise she would give it to her children. Clemencia tells Reggie yes, there was a letter. Your mother told me to give it to you when the time was right. It contains a terrible truth. Reggie is on the edge of her seat as is Viewerville.

Juan is back and talking about his mother. Clemencia thinks they need to get Doctorcito to come by and see her.

Abuelo is telling Fake Angela and Abuela that he’s got some business with Noel. Mari says ok if you say so. Fake Angela says there is no hurry. Man, I hate her.


MdR is over at the doctors talking to Remi. He’s still wallowing in whatever emotion he’s wallowing in. She tells him that he is young and strong. She knows it was he who saved Juan from the jungle that night. Thank you. Thank you so much. Look at me. Look at me Remigio. He starts to cry. She wants to give him a prayer. He gets down on his knees and cries. She gives him a big hug.

Mari is over at Noel’s office. She thinks its just super that her father is going to spend more time in Veracruz thanks to Noel. He’s happy that she gave Lulu a job. She thinks Remi is a good man. Noel agrees. (Will there be some hot monkey love in their future? Hmmmm…) Noel thinks it is a shame that there had to be a deception. Noel gets all tongue tied as he tries to say something. Mariella interrupts him and moves closer. She thinks love is the most marvelous emotion that ever existed. And she has no doubt about it.

Juan is pacing. Reggie wants him to calm down. Pablo comes out and Juan wants to know the truth. What is wrong with my mother? Her condition comes from being in the dungeon so long. Her condition is very grave. She doesn’t have much time. Juan is shocked to hear that. There’s got to be something that can be done. We’ll do whatever we have to to save her. Pablo understands his desperation and he can get a second opinion but that doesn’t really change anything. Juan begs Pablo to save her. To do whatever he can. Reggie tries to calm him down. How’s that for a kick in the head? You just find your mom after all these years and then learn she’s going to die. Reggie says he’s got to accept what is happening. He’s like--NOT. Reggie keeps trying to console him which only makes him more agitated. You have to be strong and enjoy her. Enjoy what little time she has left. Regina is going to help him.

Back in Veracruz Noel is walking with Mariella. She asks if it is ok to use the familiar with him and takes his arm. He stammers and stutters like a dork as he says oh sure. I think we know who Noel is going to end up with. Whoopie! They both deserve some happiness. She says something about Leo and we cut to said harpy.

She thinking to herself what will happen to her if they find out the truth about MdR. Frankly Viewerville doesn’t care what happens to you. We’d prefer that your fate be, well, uh--painful.

Back to Mari and Noel. He’s sure that he is destined to live without love. Mari thinks they are alike. Waiting for something that never happens.

At the jail the sheriff is pulling out bags of coins. It looks like he’s been saving for a rainy day and the weatherman is calling for rain.

Over at Pablo’s MdR looks concerned that Juan and Reggie look so worried. It sounds like they are so busted for talking to the doctorcito. Juan stammers that they uh, just came over to talk to Remi. MdR using her finly tuned mom lie detector skills knows that Juan is, well, lying. She says she just finished talking to, uh, Remi. She was thanking him for taking care of Juan all those years and she wanted to be there for Remi also like his mother was for Juan. She wants Juan to be happy and she is so glad that Reggie is there for Juan also. Pablo looks like he’s going to cry.

Jimena is running through town when she runs into (literally) Fake Angela. I personally would have like to see Jimena give her a gold old fashioned body-slam right there in the street. They insult each other and Jimena says she is happy because she has love. What does Fake Angela have? Money and things. Gabriel asked me to marry him and I accepted. See my engagement ring? For Jimena the only thing important is love. Fake Angela thinks to herself that for Branco’s love she would give all this up.

Back to Noel and Mari. Noel is telling her that she is a good person and very pretty. He’s sure that she will find a good man. She says the same about him. She gets a little flustered.

Juan is still hugging his mother. Regina says she and MdR need some girl time so she says she’ll see them later and leaves. After the girls are gone Juan looks really bummed. He jumps up and tells Remi that he needs him to be strong. He needs his help right now. Remi swears that he will be there for Juan and nothing and nobody can stop him. Juan is upset that he just found his mom and now he’s going to lose her again. I’m sad too. I hate it when he cries. Remi swears by his mother that he will be by Juan’s side.

Noel and Mari are still talking. She wants to confess something to him. It’s about Jimena. She feels something strange inside when she is with her. (Too much noise in the background. Reminds me of when my boss dictates a tape while floating in his pool and tells me he‘s at a meeting.) But I digress. He wants to ask her a question. How much do you remember about your daughter? She remembers a song that she used to sing to her. (Could this be our magical link to Jimena and Mari?)

Jimena is on the beach singing the same song. Well, I guess that answered that question. Jimena finishes singing that song and wonders why she remembers that song. More song singing. FF>>

Fake Angela arrives home and shouts at Lulu. Lulu stands up to her and says that if she is pretending to be someone she isn’t, she will burn in her own little special place in hell. We can only hope. Fake Angela glares at her.

Noel is meeting with the judge who says that there are rumors going around town that the Sheriff has committed many injustices and was bought off by the rich families in town. Noel tells him for sure that is true. He thinks the captain will help them. The Judge says he will think about it.

Reggie and MdR are walking along the water. Rod comes up and calls Maria’s name. Reggie and MdR turn and look. Dun, dun, dun.

Juan is still trying to figure out how they can help his mother. Pablo doesn’t have much hope. Such is life. Remi wants to thank Juan for all he does for him. Juan says no thank you for all you have done for me. FF>>

Rod approaches MdR and wants to know what happened. MdR says it is all his fault because he couldn’t stand her loving JDD and the the son she was carrying. Rod says he loved her with all his heart. Too bad, so sad for you Rod. She scoffs at that. She says to him love is possessing someone. He tells her it was all Arcadio’s fault. Leo had nothing to do with it. Ha! Tell me the truth right now. Dude, you can’t handle the truth.

Meanwhile, Leo is at the finca all alone. Sitting on the couch thinking to herself that everything is lost. Damn straight it is. There is no salvation for me. That’s right sister. I’ll spend the rest of my life in jail. Maybe you should just off yourself right now and be done with it. I’m sure no one in Viewerville would stop you. Anyone? No? Good. There is a loud knock at the door. It’s Renato. She tells him she doesn’t want to talk to anyone for the rest of her life. I’m sure everyone would be happy with that situation. My father abandoned you but I’m still here. You have enough to worry about without worrying about me. Your skanky wife for one. Tell me everything but don’t mention Aimee. Speak of the devil in walks said Skank.

Eloisa is handing an envelope to the dressmaker. She wants her to give it to Fed. She won’t be able to meet him tonight. She’s hosting friends of her husband to play cards. If I was the dressmaker I’d be sick and tired of those two doing the wild thing in my bed.

Two guys are walking along talking about being free when they are ambushed by some soldiers. Are we supposed to know who they are?

Back at the finca Her Royal Skankness says she can see by their faces that she is not welcome. Ya think? Renato says he’s just worried about his mother. Leo tells her to go to her room she doesn’t want to see her face. And frankly, we don’t either. She says she found an invitation to play cards at Don Fully’s house. She laughs as she swishes out of the room. Leo can hardly stand it. She doesn’t wait for the door to close to start blasting Aimee.

Rod is still trying to convince MdR that Leo had nothing to do with her disappearance. It was all Arcadio. Whatever! She doesn’t bother trying to convince him. She really doesn’t even want to talk to him. He wants to make it up to her but she’s not having any of that. She and Regina leave his happy ass standing in the street. He looks like he’s been sucker punched and he starts to cry. Awwwww-NOT!

Leo asks Renato if he’s going to accept the invitation to play cards tonight. He doesn’t think so. He doesn’t really feel like being around people. He thinks he’s going to stay home and go to bed early. Aimee is waiting for him with a glass in her hand. She still trying to get him to drink the luuuuuv potion. They bicker and he takes a drink. More bickering, another drink. She convinces him to go up and look at baby stuff. His glass is empty. Uh oh. He doesn’t feel good. He sits down on the couch. Aimee tries to get him to get into bed. She starts kissing him and undressing him. He keeps saying he feels bad. She gets his shirt off and goes for the pants. End. No!

Dinero #164- 7/29/10: The Scooby Del Castillo Gang and the Headless Monster

Ale and Rafa have just shared a lovely embrace and kiss after their successful sale of half of the Celeste trucks. Ale immediately regrets it and wants them to stick to talking about business from now on. Rafa assures her that he will always do as she wishes. Well, counters Ale, then don’t get married. Rafa balks and Ale says forget it. They've got to go. She’s got a lot of preparations to make for her wedding and she’s sure Rafa has the same.

Rafa doesn’t have to worry about wedding prep, because Vicky’s doing it all. In fact she’s taken it upon herself to deliver wedding invitations personally to all his co-workers. At the moment she’s chatting up the Queen in her luxurious office. Vicky is sufficiently impressed, although she critiques the furniture as being for old people. When the Queen remarks that she didn’t know Rafa had a girlfriend and was getting married, Vicky gives her the third degree about possibly thinking someone else was his novia, and if so, whom. The Queen informs her she doesn’t know and doesn’t care about such petty things. She informs Vicky that she also doesn’t care to hear her ear splitting voice. Vicky is unfazed by the criticism, gives the Queen an invitation, and bids her farewell with a kiss, a jocular shove and calling her Arcadia, as if they’re old friends. The Queen tells her dogs how relieved she is to see her go, declares that love is indeed blind (and so must be Rafa to marry such a loca), and admits to the dogs that she was sure there was something between Rafa and Ale.

Vicky makes her grand exit from Siglo screeching the wedding march. After she’s gone, the ladies make fun of the low class invitations and vecinidad (neighborhood) wedding plans. They also think it’s strange that Rafa and Ale are getting married just 24 hours apart. Rosuara wonders if they have some sort of agreement, Claudia wonders if they’re getting married out of spite (por desprecio). (Well ladies, it’s a bit of both.)

Carmela calls Dandy, and he gets on his revolving treadmill. She’s back from her trip and she wants him to come and show her his “products.” Dandy tells her he will call her tomorrow to arrange a time, which is music to Carmela’s ears.

When Rafa and Ale return, the sales team congratulates him on his upcoming wedding. Rosaura asks Ale if she’s going to go to Rafa’s wedding, but Ale flees before answering, barely able to control tears. When she gets to Susana’s desk, the emotional assault continues when Susana hands her the invitation Vicky left for her. Ale throws it back on Susana’s desk and tells her to suggest to Rafa that he give it to one of his other girlfriends, like Marian Celeste. She marches to her office in a huff, and Susana passes on the message to Rafa a few seconds later when he arrives. She then flounces off to join Ale.

Marian Celeste, the woman who wants to be Rafa’s new girlfriend, is talking to her assistant about getting Rafa working with her sooner than the end of the month. Her assistant suggests she help Rafa sell all those trucks by introducing him to some of her many contacts that would be interested in buying. Marian agrees that this is a good plan.

Rafa meets with his posse to discuss the day’s progress. Rafa is pleased that Dandy will be meeting with Carmela soon. Dandy thinks this is both good and bad (channeling Pata from her recap yesterday). He’s happy to be helping Rafa, but he’s scared of losing his Nonicita if she finds out. Rafa tells him tranquilo (don’t worry), Susana’s not going to find out. And we all know what that means. Poor Dandy.

Night has fallen and the del Castillo family, including Marco, Quintana, Rubi, and two of the groundskeepers, are in the Hacienda Alejandra’s pool house. The del Castillos remember the old good times. Jorge wonders where his two friends, Naughty Hacienda Guard and Naughty Housekeeper, are. Rubi thinks it’s paradise and wants to jump in the pool. She thought bubbles that “this place has to be mine.” Rosario starts to notice all the missing valuable items. Marco blames Chavez, and Quintana agrees.

Suddenly, the lights go out, fog rolls in, and a headless figure appears outside of the French glass doors. The del Castillos have a Scooby Doo Gang worthy freak out. Chucho takes the opportunity to basically say “I told you so.” Marco admits he didn’t believe the stories till now. Rosario faints. Rubi thinks they should get her a nurse, and they point out to her that SHE is a nurse. Rosario wakes screaming, “AY, EL MONSTRO!” (The monster!) Which makes Rubi respond, “Don’t call me that, please Rosario.” (Lol!) Rosario assures her she was referring to the headless ghost, and Rubi admits she wasn’t even this scared in Iraq. “You were in Iraq?”, wonders Jorge. Uh, oh. Rubi quickly covers her slip though and prescribes they all have a strong drink to get over the scare.

Marco suggests they all get the heck out of the hacienda and they all agree. He thought bubbles that Chavez did his job well (looks like they planned this particular visit from the headless ghost). Marco also wonders why Quintana didn’t look too affected by the apparition (as do I). Marco suggests that he bring in the local witch doctor, El Gran Brujo Molongo, to rid the hacienda of the ghost. They all agree to this plan. When the headless ghost appears again at the French doors, the group flees to the other exit, only to encounter another headless ghost in the balcony above the pool (Could one of them be Marco and Chavez’s planned ghost, and the other be Quintana’s?) The group makes a mad dash, Benny Hill style, for the car, bumping into each other and running in circles. Jorge gets stuck in the car trunk, butt first, as it drives off.

Jaime, meanwhile, is slapping himself around at the local bar. Calling himself a coward. He freaks out when the waiter asks if he’s ok, and then accepts a bottle of tequila. He continues to talk to himself out loud about Rafa and nearly jumps out of his skin when suddenly Rafa appears behind him. Rafa wants to know what the heck is going on with Jaime, calls him loco, and tells him he needs to be put in the manicomio (insane asylum). “What’s wrong?!” “I’ve been a bad friend.” (Is Jaime going to tell the truth?) Rafa assures him he’s been a great friend to him. In fact, his best friend. Actually, more than that. A brother. His baby sister couldn’t have found a better boyfriend. (Yikes!) Jaime chickens out after this speech. He asks Rafa if he really loves Vicky. Rafa doesn’t answer. Rafa wants to know why he asks, but Jaime deflects and tells Rafa he doesn’t want Vicky’s brothers to kill him. He’d rather see Rafa unhappy than dead. (Oh Jaime!) He then asks Rafa if he wants a bachelor party (despedido de soltero). It will distract him and give him a bit of joy before he becomes Vicky’s prisoner forever. Rafa agrees and Jaime goes to plan it.

The next morning, Ale arrives at Siglo, jumping at her own shadow. She tells Susana about the ghost.

The rest of the sales team have also arrived and Rafa assembles his posse for an early meeting before the sales meeting. He informs them about his upcoming bachelor party. Jimenez wants to ask his wife’s permission to go. Pepeto is excited for the prospect of some lovely ladies at the party. Meanwhile, Jaime has called a dancer to contract her services for the party. (Could we get an unexpected Rubi appearance?) Rosaura and Marino want to know why Rafa is always meeting with those three secretly. Claudia gives Marino the evil eye for reneging on his deal. Bebe wants to know why they all can’t just get along without all the negative attitude and clandestine dealings.

Marino calls Ramirez over to ask a favor. Since Beltran listened to Ramirez’s advice last time (the horrific Ale dummy incident), he wants him to talk to Beltran again about giving Marino the promotion. Ramirez’s answer: No. This time, he’ll only do it for a price. “What?” “I have to think about it.” Marino reminds him that he is living under HIS roof, but Ramirez is unfazed. They all head into the sales room for the meeting, just as Marian comes into the show room with her guards and a distinguished looking older gentleman. Turns out he’s one of her contacts that might be interested in buying some trucks. She asks Susana to get Rafa.

Jimenez has just let the news of Rafa’s bachelor party slip to Ale (who is not happy to hear about it), just as Susana walks in to announce that Marian Celeste is looking for Rafa. Ale’s morning has just gone from bad to worse.

Tomorrow: Susana and Ale consider telling Vicky about Marian Celeste (they wouldn’t, would they?); Rafa and Marian have a liquid lunch.

Corazón Salvaje WED 2010-07-28: I told the witch doctor you didn't love me true; she said to Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang Walla walla, bing bang

Episode 113

In a secluded corner of the town garden, after Gabriel asks Jimena on bended knee to marry him, she pulls him back to her and wonders if he's sure it doesn't matter that he's white and she's a gypsy. It doesn't, Gabriel answers. Holding her face and looking into her eyes, Gabriel tells Jimena he loves her for the way she is and for the way he is with her; for the countless, small unforgettable moments that made him understand her, care about her and love her. He loves her so much, and he's willing to face the whole world to be with her.

With a look of wonder, Jimena answers that she loves Gabriel; that when she's with him she's not afraid of anything. Gabriel returns to the red rose he put in her hand and pulls a sparkling diamond ring from its petals, and Jimena agrees with all her heart to marry him. Winding her arms around his neck, they embrace and seal it with a kiss. Gabriel slips the ring on Jimena's finger, and they vow their love to each other.

At the honeymoon cottage, Regina is just bringing Juan some tea and kisses when they hear Clemencia and María del Rosario returning, laughing and chatting. Juan gets a chuckle out of startling his mother with a Boo! as she enters; and she enjoys it, too. Juan can't get enough of hugging his mom as they all greet each other.

María del Rosario relates how walking around the port brought back so many memories, especially of his father. When Juan asks if they saw anyone they recognized, she coyly wonders who they would have seen. Clemencia exits to return to the notary office, but María del Rosario says she wants to spend all the possible time she can with them and remains.

A very solicitous Juan seats his mother to coax her into eating the soup Regina's been working on all morning, and María del Rosario is pleasantly surprised Regina knows how to cook, since she herself never learned. Regina explains Clemencia taught her; the soup is good, and María del Rosario jokes that Regina can get married now.

Rodrigo seeks Aimee out in her rooms, but finds Celia, who fills him in on the argument yesterday where Aimee told off Leonarda. Aimee arrives and gives Celia the boot. Turns out Rodrigo needs a shoulder to cry on over seeing María del Rosario, but Aimee's got no time or inclination for it. She's got her own fish to fry.

He's begging her to listen to his worries, but her aggravation over Renato is all she can think of. Rodrigo says it's her own fault -- and his own for spoiling her as a child. When he admits he should have punished her disobedience, Aimee turns to him smartly and bites out that perhaps he should have!

In a short, sweet scene at the cottage, Juan rests his head in his mother's lap and looks blissfully happy as she reads love poetry aloud while Regina looks on. Back in Aimee's room, Rodrigo is mulling over the fact that Aimee should have had a stricter education. He takes her by the shoulders and begins to say that now she's going to be a mother -- when Aimee interrupts him.

And if the child is never born? she asks. Confused, Rodrigo wonders if she might tamper with her child's life; but a sudden suspicion impels him to ask if she would dare to invent...? Aimee interrupts him again, insisting it was just an innocent comment.

At Raul's, Mariela's dad insists to her that they are leaving Veracruz that weekend. When Mariela objects, he assures her she'll soon forget about Jimena; but Mariela denies it. She'll never forget her, and it has no effect on the love for her "daughter"; but she's going to give up fighting the move.

The doorbell rings, and Lulu goes to greet Noel. He enters and tells Alberto he has an urgent matter to discuss. Meanwhile at Dr. Pablo's, Clemencia has stopped by there to tearfully consult him about breaking her promise to María del Rosario not to reveal her terminal condition to Juan.

Remigio, who is listening at the door, overhears that Clemencia wants her to see the doctor without arousing suspicion. When Remigio enters and suggests they say María del Rosario is coming to visit him, Dr. Pablo agrees it is a good idea. Out on the beach, Regina, Juan and his mother gather sea shells and gleefully romp in the surf.

Back at Raul's, Noel admits that he has no proof yet, but says he suspects that Salma is not their granddaughter, much to Alberto's surprise. In the bedroom, Salma looks sad and wistful, doubtless thinking of Branko, not far away.

Consequently, when Mariela enters to inform her they're leaving on the weekend, instead of enthusiasm, Mariela is confused to encounter a decided lack of it from Salma. Salma meekly agrees and claims she has a headache and would like to rest. Mariela moves to touch her, but oddly pulls back.

Alberto doesn't understand, and Noel reiterates that he has no proof; but that Salma would be in it for the money and that she was being manipulated by Griselda -- whom Jimena insists that Salma actually barely knows. Alberto can't stomach the thought of the missing-granddaughter nightmare beginning all over again and dreads Mariela finding out; but Noel assures him they must not speak of it, rather wait in town a short time to observe and discover the truth.

At the notary office, Phillip is dressed in a nice suit and dives into righting what he thinks is a big mess of law books and papers, just putting things on shelves and in cabinets wherever there is space. Clemencia enters and is horrified that Phillip shows no regard for the order they should be stored; but in a nice twist, she actually intends to help him, and he's bursting with gratitude.

In her rooms, Aimee plans for Celia to take her right away that night to see Kuma, the witch doctor Celia recommended earlier. At the honeymoon cottage, Juan and Regina get some time alone in their bedroom in the twilight. They stand together; his strong, brown hands hold and caress her while his lips trace the line of her shoulder to under her ear; and they both smile with pleasure before joining in a kiss.

Under a stormy night sky, Aimee and Celia duck into a dark, crowded little hut with bubbling cauldrons, where a spider crawls, an owl hoots, a raven caws -- and they are startled to find a small, shrouded figure ensconced in the middle of it all. Aimee begins to give instructions, but the witch doctor takes orders from no one, she says.

In the cottage, Juan and Regina make love again and declare their devotion. Juan tells her she's his whole life, and Regina assures him no one will ever separate them. Honey gold in candlelight, their bare bodies covered only by long, blond tresses, linens and each other, they clearly dance the age-old rhythm of the joining, rising and falling.

Alone in his bed at the townhouse, Rodrigo suffers through one horrifying nightmare of María del Rosario after another, moaning and rolling in pain. He remembers the terrible suffering he willingly caused her, Leonarda reporting her dead, and the shock of seeing her that day on the street, alive and defiant. Rodrigo half awakens and repeats in delirium that he must find María del Rosario. Must find her, must find her...

In her hut, the little witch doctor knows why Aimee is there; that she's concerned about the baby she's not carrying. And the woman gives her a potion that will make the man of her choice her slave. A few drops will do it; and be careful, because too much will kill him, she warns. When the witch doctor bids Aimee come near her cauldron, she reads in it punishment and tears for the Montes de Oca; but especially blood! Blood and death for the Montes de Oca.

Servando waits in the darkness outside Eloísa's dressmaker's house for Eloísa and Federico to appear, which they presently do -- together, in a farewell embrace, leaving no doubt they had a tryst. Not to mention they both look supremely satisfied. When in a moment the dressmaker also appears, Servando steps out and bids her not be frightened; he has a nice business proposition for her.

Meanwhile, Aimee and Celia return to the farm, where Aimee goes about in the dark, carefully dropping minute amounts of the potion into all of Renato's cognac bottles. At Fulgencio's, a chirpy Eloísa returns home to a glum husband, claiming she had a very entertaining night out; but Fulgencio did not, he says. When he explains that he's been bored since the casino closed, she happily offers to host card parties for his friends there at home, which he thinks might be a good idea.

In the cottage bedroom, Regina and Juan linger before sleep, talking. He says he's less good at pretty speeches, having spent most of his life fighting or just surviving; but now that all that is behind them, he has a chance to thank Regina for how wonderful she's been with his mother -- even if it is just for a little while.

He wants to thank her for showing him what love is, because he was really afraid he was never going to experience it. He's grateful that her love changed him and saved his life. And not only that, he chuckles, but what she said at the trial did, too! They both laugh; and taking her by the chin, he observes that she was very brave.

He admits he did wonder if she had sent a warning to Renato, which Regina vehemently denies. She would never do that, she insists. He should know her heart belongs to him, she says; and he does know, Juan says with a smile. He found that out during her testimony; only a woman in love could defend him so intensely.

She agrees but says he needn't thank her: everything she said is the truth. She means so much to him; so much! Juan says. Never leave him, he asks; and she won't. She loves Juan de Dios, Regina says; and Juan calls her his princess, as he gathers her in his arms again.

Next morning, Rodrigo attempts to go out about town, but instead keeps encountering face after face that all look horrifyingly like María del Rosario. At the finca, Aimee pours Renato a glass of potion-laced cognac just as he's descending the staircase to go out. Amazingly, he is not in the mood for a drink and starts to exit when she stops him and prods him about how nice it must be to do whatever he wants without explanations.

When he warns her not to provoke him into saying things she'll be sorry to hear, Aimee shoots back that she can say nasty things, too. He stops and throws his briefcase down, complaining that she's so different than when they got married. Now we see her real personality, he says. Why did she fake a love she never had? Why did she make herself out to be such an innocent, weak, little girl, Renato asks, mockingly.

You're just a tramp, he adds. At this, Aimee hauls off and smacks him hard with her fan; but he doesn't care. He just draws back and smacks her with his open palm across the face. What I'm never going to forgive, he yells, either you or myself, is that you set a trap -- and I fell into it! You can have my position, my name and my fortune; but not my love.

In the plaza, Rodrigo's hallucinations continue; he sees María del Rosario in every face -- and now they are closing in on him and surrounding him. There's no escape, and he falls to the ground, clutching his heart. Back at the finca, Aimee holds her stricken face as Renato tells her he's not concerned about her anymore. Not only does he not love her, he says, but he doesn't care what happens to her.

As Renato exits, Aimee heads back to the cognac decanter, laughing; as if she cared what happened to him either! Little man! she snorts. Pulling the vial of strong, dangerous potion from its hiding place in the cleavage between her breasts, she upends it and splashes the entire contents into the cognac, turning it blood red.

Dinero #163 7/28/2010: Good News/Bad News

This entire episode tonight was sort of a good news bad news sort of show. Good news; Marco almost gets found out. Bad news; he is a great liar. Good news; lots of Ale and Rafa time. Bad news; an equal amount of screeching Vicky time. Good news; Rafa found a client for his trucks. Bad news; They won’t get paid till the end of the month. Good News; we get a little Rafa /Ale kiss. Bad news; no mariachi tonight. Good news; hopefully I can get this done quickly. Bad news; it will be short and minus vocabulary as I have another early morning and will have to go with my notes only. Feel free to add and correct. So lets get on with all the good and bad that came with tonight’s episode.

We start with Zetina giving the boys all the details of Carmella’s comings and goings. Including details of where the archives are so that Dandy can sneak in and look for incriminating evidence against Marco.

Our first bit of hopeful good news is with Rosario. She is on the phone with Urdiales’ secretary regarding Marco and Ale’s wedding. She is quite surprised to hear that the illustrious Urdiales has never even heard of Marco Venezuela. She is rudely interrupted by Jorge who needs the phone so he can talk to his lovely Ruby. She brushes him off and continues her phone conversation stating there must be some sort of misunderstanding. She hangs up and tells Jorge that Urdiales doesn‘t even know Marco. Jorge encourages Rosario to talk to Ale or Marco regarding this.

We move onto the hair salon with Ovi and the boys. Good news; we have a client with a horrendous hair style wanting a change. The bad news was the style she chose was worse than what she came in with.

More good news; Rosario has called Ale to tell her about Urdiales. She tells her Urdiales doesn’t even know Marco. Ale is quite surprised. How can this be, after all they are intimate friends. Ale calls Marco who happens to be at the hacienda with Chavez. He is informing Chucho that Jorge and Quintana are coming in the morning. Ale asks Marco if he is with Urdiales. Our bad news here is that Marco is adept at knowing when to lie and when not to. He tells her the truth. He is not with Urdiales. Ale tells him that Rosario had sent an invitation to the wedding to him and he didn’t know who he was. Marco becomes upset and knowing when to lie, makes up a story about how he works for Urdiales but is an “outside” lawyer and Urdiales probably told Rosario he didn’t know Marco because he didn’t want anyone to know he works for him. Ale being the poor judge of character that she is accepts this lie and apologizes to Marco. Bad news here is Marco continues to get away with his lies.

After hanging up with Ale, Marco tells Chavez that she almost caught him. Our good news is that Marco admits to Chavez that he really loves Ale. Our bad news is Marco also informs Chavez that after the wedding he plans to take Ale far away.

Bad news first this time. Rafa is on the phone with Don Humberto. He is trying to sell him the used trucks. He is not interested. However our good news comes in the form of a contact who might be interested in buying the trucks. He rushes into Ale’s office all excited and tells her he has found new lions and is ready for the hunt. Our even better news is Ale and Rafa our off together on another adventure.

No good news with the following scene. Dandy is trying to talk with Susana. She doesn’t want to talk with him. As he leaves he tells her not to forget that he loves her.

Rafa is back in the old panther with Ale and they have arrived at a quaint little village. Ale is going on about how she can’t stand the “car” especially with all the bad memories from the accident. They enter a cantina looking for a Don Romulo. He is eating and Rafa advises Ale not to interrupt him. Ale has decided to not listen to Rafa and barges in on our unsuspecting Don. She is chatting away and he barely notices her. Our good news is Ale isn’t giving up and starts talking about how good the food smells and invites herself to sit down with him. She does a cute little whistle to get Rafa’s attention. Rafa finally notices Ale and joins them. Rafa and Ale mange to sell Don Romulo half of the trucks.

This was fun watching Rafa and Ale wheel and deal together again. All the details are being firmed up. Rafa calls Siglo to find out when the trucks will be ready. Susana informs him they will be all ready at the end of the month. They start talking about a 20% down payment. Bad news. Don Romulo does not want to give a down payment. They do manage to get him to sign a contract and he agrees to pay (you guessed it) in cash when he gets the trucks. Don’t know if this is good news or bad news, remembering Rafa‘s past adventure with all that cash.

So are you guys all ready for this? Put your ear plugs in when you watch because it is Vicky and I swear her voice is screechier than ever. She shows up at Siglo waving wedding invitations in the air. She is traumatized when she finds out that no one at Siglo knew about the wedding. She continues flouncing about Siglo humming the wedding march handing out invitations.. She even hands an invitation to Susana. She is on to better things now and searches for Beltran. She barges in and Beltran is startled to see her. Vicky reminds him they met before when he was in the office with Claudia. She informs him of the grand event of the month, her and Rafa’s wedding and everyone will be there. As she leaves poor Beltran is left alone with head to desk. His bad news? Who will be there to work?

Vicky continues prancing about Siglo when she literally runs into Dona Arcadia. The good news was Dona Arcadia was not very excited to see her there and even less excited when she found out Rafa was going to marry her. There was almost bad news as Doña Arcadia just about spills the beans about Rafa and Ale. We see all of the Siglo crew in hiding aghast as they listen in. Doña Arcadia than takes Vicky into her office.

More good news the rest of this recap will be all Ale and Rafa. We are back at the cantina finalizing details about the delivery of the trucks. We have a little problem though. Both Ale and Rafa seem to be busy with wedding plans and honeymoons. Don Romulo assumes that they will be getting married to each other. There’s our bad news; such luck as they both stammer to give details about their upcoming nuptials with other partners. It is decided that Rafa will deliver the trucks.

As they leave the cantina they are all smiles that they sold half the trucks. Rafa takes Ale up to a cute gazebo. They are both happy that this was such a quick and perfect sale. No drunkenness no fights and no scandals. They start talking and are even saying the same things at the same time as they smile at this. Ale smiles sweetly and tells Rafa she would like to give him a hug. Best news of the night. We get a sweet tender kiss. Ale ruins the moment as she turns away from him and say’s accusingly “So now what just happened?” Rafa nervously smiles and says we had a little kiss. Ale is no nonsense right now and Rafa tries to explain that he won’t be having a honey moon. Ale begs him to stop talking before he regrets what he is saying. Rafa tells her he would never regret loving her. Ale, tears welling up tells him to stop talking, they have nothing more to say. From now on they will only talk about business. Sadly Rafa says, “ Okay licenciada I will always do what you ask me to.” Ale than says “Okay than don’t get married.” Bad news, that’s where we end.

El Clon, Wed., July 28- Summary for Discussion

The kindler, gentler Marisa tells Lucas how drugged up Nati was. Lucas can't believe it. She never even used to drink, he says. That what I thought, says Marisa, 'no sabemos nada de nuestro hija, Lucas,' we never knew anything about our daughter, Lucas. She blames Alej for distancing Nati from them. Lucas asks if Marisa knows where Nati is living. She says no.

The Naz is beside herself with excitement waiting for her novio. She hopes he is rich and good to make up for all the years she waited for him.

Said's and Rania's little cuddle talking about her baby is interrupted by a call from Zein.

Sidi Ali tells the children how to respectfully handle the Sacred Book, the Koran. When he says that it shouldn't be handled by an impure woman (who is having her period), Zamira asks why since that is a natural cycle of women. 'Porque el libro sagrado lo dice, Zamira, y somos Musulmanes,' Because the Sacred Book says so and we're Muslims, replies Ali.

Zein says that he has to talk to Said in person.

Ali wonders why Zein won't return Jade right away. He says that Zein is more Westerner than Muslim and may understand Jade better than he does. He fears that a storm is coming.

Cristina tells Jade that Lucas has returned to the US. She says that she and Lucas waited all night for her but that he had to return to Miami on urgent business. Jade says that once she is in the US, she will run away from Zein and she and Lucas can be happy forever.

The Naz primps for her fiancé while Zamira tells her, Latifa, Jadiya and Zumaya that she doesn't want to have a husband. She wants to be a reporter and travel all over the world. They do not appreciate or share her ambition to be an independent woman.

Amin asks Mohamed if he can marry an older woman. Mohamed tells him how the prophet married a much older woman. Amin can marry any woman who is religious and follows their customs. Amin fantasizes about giving gold to a submissive veiled sKank.

An old guy and two younger guys are with Abdul. The Naz comes in with 'gazelle horn' pastries that Zoraida made. Abdul praises the Naz's wifely abilities to the skies. The Naz figures that she is for one of the young guys but when the old guy is revealed to be the suitor, she screams in frustration and falls to the ground.

Abdul tells the Naz that if she rejects this guy, he doesn't want to hear her complaining about her destiny or not having a husband ever again. '¡Yo quiero un marido, no una momia!' I want a husband, not a mummy! wails the Naz. Zoraida tells Ali what happened. He says that the Naz is pretty but she is like a storm and storms are nice but not to marry.

Zein comes to see Said.

Luisa is in Fez. She calls Cristina. Cristina says that she knows where Albieri is.

Amalia finally gets to tell Leo about Nati. He is angry that she didn't tell him before. She tells him not to use that tone with her.

Nati and Fernando are together, high, and telling each other how everyone around them does nothing but give them boring drug lectures. They assure each other that it is the other people who have changed, not them.

Andrea is still trying to protect Fernando but she can't convince her parents that she isn't taking drugs. Roberto insists on taking her to a clinic so that she can hear ex-drug addicts tell her about how their lives were ruined.

Dora and Estela are at the doctor's office.

Rosa tells Lucas that although Gloria doesn't know where Nati is living, she won't give any information about where they hang out. Lucas replies that he won't accept that and goes to see Gloria. Rosa is impressed by Lucas' activity and determination. 'Sí, es la primera vez que pone a su hija en primer lugar,' Yes, it's the first time that he has put his daughter first, says Marisa, let's hope it isn't too late.

Jade is happily anticipating future happiness with Lucas.

Said asks Zein where Jade is and accuses him of not keeping his part of the deal. 'Tampoco estaba en le trato enamorarse de Jade,' Falling in love with Jade wasn't part of the deal either, replies Zein. When Zein tells Said that he isn't returning Jade, Said hits him and calls him a traitor. Ali has to separate them. Zein says that when he agreed to help, Said, he didn't understand the consequences. Jade does not want to go back to Said. Ali puts in his two cents about how he warned Said that getting Jade back was not going to be that easy. He says that when there are differences, the Sacred Book provides the answers. Said says that the Koran requires that property be returned to its owner. Ali reminds him that Jade doesn't belong to him anymore. He divorced her. Zein would have had to return Jade to Ali, not to Said. He says that both Said and Zein acted imprudently and without thinking about the consequences.

The news reaches the kitchen. Latifa wonders what will happen to Jade. Mohamed says that he told Said not to make deals with infidels and now he's paying the consequences. He considers Zein an infidel because he drinks alcohol and eats pork. Mohamed tells Latifa to forget about Jade.

The girls are packing up to go back to the US. Latifa tells Jadiya that she will see her mother in the States.

Zein tells Said and Ali about his deal with Jade. Said says that Zein sacrificed their friendship purely out of vanity. Zein shoots back that he made a woman marry him who didn't want to out of vanity. Now Said says that he has thrown Jade to the winds (arrojo a Jade al viento) - he never wants to see her again and she will never see Jadiya again.

On a lighter note, the Naz is demonstrating exercises to the maids and telling them about her personal trainer in Miami. When Zein, on his way out, glances at the spectacle of the Naz doing deep knee bends, she is sure that she has made a conquest. When the maid tells her that Zein has fallen in love with Jade, she accuses the maids of jealousy and says that they will suffer in hell.

Zein returns to the hotel and tells Jade that it was Said who hit him. 'Pero tengo que agradacerle. Porque gracias a ese golpe te tengo aquí, cerca de mí,' But I have to thank him. Because thanks to this blow, you are here next to me, he says.

Our latest PSA subject - The doctor is shocked that Dora hasn't had a Pap smear since before Daniel was born and doesn't seem to know what one is. [Ladies - you need a Pap smear every year even if you feel fine. Next, maybe Leo will get gum disease and his dentist will demonstrate the importance of flossing.]

Lucas finds Nati. He asks where she has been and they embrace. Lucas seems overcome with emotion. Nati - not so much.

The credits roll.

Corazon Salvaje, Tuesday, July 27: Ep 112--Score! And about damn time too!

Noel digests the news about where MdR has been all these years. He's so happy to see her, but feels "rabia" toward Leonarda. MdR says she doesn't want any more suffering. She's just glad she found her son and she's thankful for everything Noel has done for him. Noel asks forgiveness for not having done what he should have, and for what he owes to Juan. Juan doesn't feel Noel owes him anything. Noel cries, thinking of how he loved, but wasn't loved in return. Leonarda never loved him and Leo and Rod cheated, so he's left the finca. MdR says it's better that way, so he's not tied to someone who doesn't love him. Juan agrees and says Noel should find a woman who loves him. Clemencia and Regina agree and Reggie says it's never too late for love. Noel takes another moment to digest that MdR is alive. The five of them stand there and bask in the happy.

Servando spies on Eloisa and sees her going into the dressmaker's shop. He finds it suspicious. Moreso when Feddy goes into the dressmaker's shop as well. Because I'm pretty sure Fed doesn't wear dresses.

Mariela pleads with Salma to understand that she feels a great affection for Jimena. Lulu listens at the door. Salma threatens that they need to leave right away.

MdR prays her rosary. And coughs. Oh, damn. She's coughing up blood. She tells God to do his voluntad, but she's ready. She returns to praying.

Juan lies in bed chuckling to himself. He's happy about all the recent surprises. He finally gets up and offers to let Reggie have the bed. Oh, no you don't! Reggie asks him to stay and sleep with her. She wants them to wake up in each other's arms. Damnit, man, get with the program! They smooch. Reggie says she loves him. Someone screams "nooooo" on the way to commercials. What's that about? More smoochies after the break. Reggie gets all shy when the undressing begins. And then we skip straight to "undressed." The way the music keeps getting cut, we know we're missing details. Yes, Univision, I do know where babies come from, but that doesn't mean I don't always want to learn more. We watch this for the educational value, you know.

Noel is grateful for Clemencia letting him in on the secret about MdR. They muse over how much it must have sucked to be locked up for all those years. Noel says it would be terrible if she got sick from all those years of being stuck down there. Especially if she died right when Juan found her. Clemencia is optimistic that now that they're taking care of her, she'll be fine.

Juan + Reggie = consumation.

Clemencia takes MdR out for a walk in the square. She's still coughing. They pass in front of the house in town and MdR wants to get a better look, but Clem wants her to stay away. MdR remembers the balcony that Juan used to climb up to see her. Clem pleads with her to go to the church like they'd planned. MdR thinks this might be her last chance to see the house and Clem buys that argument.

Juan hangs out some nets on the beach. The boyz come up and try to avoid telling Juan, but Pedro tells him what happened to Remi.

Aimee signed the annulment papers with Reggie's signature. Renato says he only wants to free her from Juan. Aimee mocks him saying someone's bound to notice that Reggie didn't really sign it. Aimee realizes he'd do anything to get Reggie away from Juan. Renato threatens that it won't go well for her if she dares tell anyone what he's doing.

MdR wants to remember the house and all the good times with Juan de Dios. Clemencia keeps trying to get her away from the house. Rodrigo walks out and sees her. MdR confirms for Rod that it really is her. Rod gapes at her and clutches his chest and Clem leads her away. Rod crumples.

MdR and Clemencia go into the church. Clemencia is worried that Rod recognized MdR. She thinks he and Leo are capable of killing her. MdR doesn't really care, now that she's found Juan and she doesn't want Juan to know what happened. MdR makes Clem promise in front of the Virgen that she won't tell, then tells her that she doesn't have long to live, she has an incurable disease that will take her last breath. She begs her not to tell anyone, least of all Juan. She doesn't want him to suffer, she just wants to enjoy her last moments. Clemencia cries and hugs her.

Remigio thought bubbles that he should leave to avoid hurting anyone else. Juan and Reggie come in to see Remigio. Remigo asks Juan's forgiveness because he wants to die. Reggie tells him to man up. Juan agrees with Reggie, but Remi worries about his job prospects. He refuses to beg and he doesn't want to be a burden to anyone. They start shouting at each other. Reggie reminds him that she owes him big time for showing her the real Juan and says she and Juan won't leave him. Juan gets Remi to look at him and says Remi can't spout this nonsense and let him down. He's the one who saved Juan and he's got to keep fighting. Well, Remi doesn't want to be a burden, the sharks took his will to live. Reggie is disappointed to hear him talking like this. She wants him to snap out of it. She and Juan won't feel sorry for him, but he won't get rid of them, either. Juan tells Remi he needs him now more than ever. The guys hug and everybody cries.

Jimena and Gabe come to visit Noel. He lets them know he's living there and Clemencia is looking after him.

Rod stumbles into the house, still clutching his chest. Yes, MdR is alive. Sucks to be you. Rod thinks he's going crazy. He pours himself a drink. He realizes that Leo owes him an explanation and goes to get it.

Salma runs into Servando in town. He mocks her for her new trapos that hardly let her breathe. He reminds her how free she was as a gypsy.

Jimena tells Noel that she and Grizelda only met Salma in Veracruz, so she can't be Mariela's daughter. Gabe tells Noel that Lulu is spying for them to prove that Salma's a big fat liar.

Salma complains to Servando that they give her whatever she wants, but she doesn't have a cent. Servando laughs at her. He tells her the caravan isn't far and Branko is now the leader. Salma gets all happy. Servando says he isn't going to go visit them. He sees Eloisa and takes off to go spy on her some more.

Juan and Reggie talk about how hard it is to see how badly Remi is taking things. Reggie has an idea to cheer him up, though…love.

Lulu goes shopping. She remembers telling the doc that she loves Remigio and him telling her to fight for Remi. She takes off without her basket and runs to see Remi. She demands to see him and says if he doesn't want to see her, he can shut his eyes. She tells him he's not the only one suffering. She knows it was her fault and she didn't tell him the truth because she was afraid of losing him. She never thought a decent guy could fall for her, being a ho and all. She says they both made mistakes, but she's not sorry because at least she got to know him and know what it was like to love. He may not think she's important, but she thinks he is. She pleads with him to look at her. When he won't she says she's said what she has to say and if he wants to keep fighting it and doesn't want to be the man they all thought he was, fine! She leaves. Remi throws something that was on the doc's desk. He cries.

Lulu goes out into the street crying. She tells Noel that she said what she had to say to Remi, but she doesn't think he wants to see her ever again. Noel says maybe she'll fall in love with someone else in time. Lulu says she'll never love anyone else. Remi will always be the love of her life. The vendor gives back her shopping basket.

Rod comes in to see Leo. He tells her MdR is alive. Leo asks if he's gone crazy. Rod drags her out of bed and says he saw MdR with Clemencia and he demands an explanation! Leo claims not to know what he's talking about and says he's being unfair, especially after she's always been on his side. She whines that she doesn't deserve this treatment.

Noel thought bubbles to himself that it was silly to think that a young woman like Lulu would ever be interested in him. He resigns himself to a life without love.

Leo reminds Rod of Arcadio going crazy and claiming that MdR was alive and locked up, that Leo killed Constanza, but hey, he ran off. She says if someone is guilty it must be Arcardio. Rod seems to buy it. He's horrified Arcadio would do such a thing. Leo says she can't believe it either, her poor sister! What she must have suffered! And all without them knowing. Leo fake prays to God for strength to deal with her pain. Rod doesn't know where MdR is, but he won't rest until he finds her and she tells him what happened. Leo thought bubbles that that damn Clemencia already knew about this! Rod looks at Leo suspiciously.

Juan asks Reggie if she's sure love will heal Remi. She says she and Juan were practically enemies, but now they love each other. Juan asks if she misses having servants, but Reggie says she's never been happier than she is now. She feels loved and protected. Juan is happy too, but it scares him. He's afraid something is going to screw up their happiness. Reggie swears she'll always be with him. Smoochies.

Leo comes to see Renato. He shows her the annulment papers. He tells her that Aimee faked the signature. Leo says this will cause a new scandal. She doesn't want Ren to go say anything to Aimee, she's tired of their fighting! They've made this house a hell!

Salma remembers Servando telling her that Branko is nearby, that her clothing is so much more constricting. Salma starts ripping things off and yelling that she's a gypsy, damnit! She doesn't want to be a Payo!

Gabe takes Jimena to a pretty spot in town and asks her to marry him. We'll have to get her answer tomorrow.

Ultimas Semanas! Woo hoo!

Rabia=rage
Voluntad=will
Trapos=rags, clothes
Payo=Ghazo, gajo, gadje, gaje, a non-gypsy
