La Verdad Oculta 94: Kidnapped Kiddies, Naughty Nurse, Mini MacGyver, and a Sleepless Señora

The mini-summary: Alejandra returns to her car to find the two kiddies missing and begins to live every parent/guardian/babysitter’s worst nightmare; Adolfo sends Yolanda’s loyal maid Jaunita away, to make room for Zaida, Edgar and the kidnapped kiddies in Yolanda’s condo; Zaida is disguised at “Aida”, the dark haired nurse who will nurse Yolanda back to health; Carlos and Adolfo bring Yolanda back to her home, where the kids are bound and gagged in Juanita’s room in the back; JJ and Mauricio vow to get the best lawyers money can buy to free Elsa asap; Edgar gets a promotion to Adolfo’s right hand man for his fabulous work; JJ, Ale and Limon enlist Leo’s help in finding the kids; Adolfo is visited by the Ghost of Crimes Past—a very sexy looking Roberto who scares the Dickens out of Adolfo; Chicles uses his ingenuity to call for attention and free himself and Caramelo from their bonds; a sleepless and inpactada Yolanda discovers an equally sleepless and impactado Chicles and Caramelo.

The full recap:
At Yolanda’s, Adolfo has let himself in and orders Juanita to go on vacation as it will be a while before Yolanda will return. He will call her when they need her.

At JJ’s, he’s returned home bushed from dealing with Elsa’s precarious legal situation. Limon feels bad about the situation, although Elsa ticked him off by taking la niña from him. (Hey, Limon. She didn’t take Caramelo from you. But social services sure as heck would have, if not for Elsa.) He asks JJ if perhaps Elsa knew she was selling hot jewelry. (Did he just meet her yesterday?) JJ is steadfast that Elsa would never do something like that. But now they’ve got to prove it—they’ll get the best lawyers. JJ ponders the ironies of life. While he and her brother were in prison, loyal Elsa brought them food and comfort, and paid a lawyer to get him and her brother out of prison. It created tons of problems for her, but she dit it anyway. And now, she’s the one behind bars. He can’t let the same injustice that happened to him happen to her. Limon suggests that JJ get recommendations for a good lawyer from the Genoves, and in the meantime, they can enjoy having Caramelo with them! (Really Limon? I expect a bit more concern from you.) She’s like a light that illuminates the dark! JJ agrees and runs off to Casa Genoves. Limon has a bad premonition…and we see why when we return to the shopping mall.

…Where Ale has just made the worst mistake she has ever made in her life (even worse than dating Roberto). She has left a squabbling Chicles and Caramelo alone in her car in the mall underground parking lot, to go get help changing a flat tire. She has left instructions to lock the doors, which Chicles promptly ignores. Great luck for the kidnappers. Crappy luck for Ale and the kiddies. Adolfo’s two goons (much younger and more attractive than the last ones who got shot up) swoop in, snatch the kids, and stuff them in sacks and into their car trunk. They have been instructed to deliver the kids to Adolfo’s new henchman, Edgar. Ale expectantly panics when she returns, calling out to the children in the hope that they have wandered off not too far, and of their own volition. She runs back into the mall frantically looking for the pair, and enlists the help of the mall security to find the 8 year old and the 10 year old. He somehow does not laugh at their names.

Abelardo announces a very upset looking JJ to power couple David and Gabi, who are side by side at his desk going over a business plan (so cute). JJ explains the situation of his “best friend” Elsa Rivera. She has been caught in a jewel smuggling trap similar to the one Gabi nearly got caught in. They took advantage of her innocence and her financial need. David and Gabi are understanding, and are sure Adolfo must be involved in it somewhere. David shares the info of the best lawyer he knows with JJ.

In the AFI interrogation room, Elsa is joined by her second knight in shining armor—Mauricio. She greets him with a big tearful hug, swearing that she didn’t smuggle those jewels. He has no doubt of her innocence and tries to calm her down. He asks how this all came about and she explains about Zaida, Dante and the jewels, Dante’s confirmation about the bills of sale, and the list of clients. Mauricio wants to know if the cops have questioned Dante yet, but Elsa has no idea what’s going on beyond the time she was arrested. Mauricio holds her hands, strokes her cheeks, and reassures her everything will be alright. He will speak to Leo to get more info. Then he’s going to find the best lawyer for these kind of matters. He is not going to leave her alone in this! Elsa can’t believe he is being so good to her after she treated him so shabbily. There’s no question in Mau’s mind; he doesn’t want her to worry about all that. Above all else, they are friends. He won’t allow this to happen to her. She thanks him, and he lovingly wipes away her tears.

After Juanita heads off to her unexpected vacation, Edgar and Zaida make their way into Yolanda’s condo. Once inside, Zaida puts on her disguise—dark haired Naughty Nurse. Edgar likes what he sees, so they take a sexy sax break.

I guess the afternoon delight didn’t relax Edgar because as soon as the goons arrive with the kiddies, he kicks and tosses one of them around to show them who’s the boss. It works. They bring the kids kicking and screaming up to the condo, and deposit them, bound and gagged, on to Juanita’s bed.

Ale, meanwhile, has just frantically arrived at JJ’s wondering if the kids have somehow found their way back. “Qué!!!!!!” JJ and Limon, suddenly looking like the mature adults in the room for the first time ever, yell at her. How could she be so irresponsible and careless?! She’s the adult! This is not helping Ale who looks like she’s close to having a breakdown. She screams right back at them to not treat her like an idiot!! She explains how it all went down. Her tears and obvious anguish move JJ and Limon. They try to calm her fears. Surely they must still be in the mall somewhere. That’s what Ale thought too, but they searched. Then she thought they must have taken a taxi and come back home, but alas, no.

At the hospital, Yolanda also has two knights in (tarnished) armor who have come to her rescue-- Adolfo and Carlos. The nurse notes Carlos’ devotion and how much he obviously loves her. She loves him too- more than if he were her own child. The first of her men to show, however, is not her muñeco- it’s Adolfo. He explains that he’s contracted a “nurse” to take care of her at home, as well as assigned one of his boys, Edgar, to be at her disposal. Yolanda objects, but Adolfo won’t take no for an answer. When Carlos arrives, Adolfo explains about the nurse. Father and son actually agree, and in fact, Carlos was planning on staying with Yolanda too. Yolanda thinks this is a great idea, and there would be no need for a nurse. Adolfo insists on the nurse, and nixes the idea of Carlos staying there. They finally give in. Yolanda thanks them both, and the three members of this unconventional family take their leave.

JJ, Ale and Limon wrack their brains trying to figure out where the kids could have gone off to. (With the way Mexico is, and the fact that he’s been a victim of blackmail, shouldn't the first thing they think of be kidnapping?) They wonder if perhaps they kids didn’t make their way to Elsa’s, since Caramelo wanted to see her. They call Elsa’s apartment. Luckily, Ulises is walking by and let’s himself in to answer the phone. He gives JJ the disappointing news. “No papi. Aqui no hay nadie.” Ulises asks about Elsa and get’s equally disappointing news. He can’t believe how much bad stuff is going down. He’ll stay close to Elsa’s apartment in case the kids show up and will help in any way he can. More anguish and despair at JJ’s.

Adolfo, Carlos and Yolanda arrive at her condo. Adolfo introduces Yolanda to Nurse “Aida” and Edgar, while Carlos stares hard at the pair. It appears that he recognizes something or someone, but for the moment can't put his finger on it. In the bedroom, Chicles listens at the door to the adults in the living room. He decides to find a way to call attention to their whereabouts-- cleverly nudging a glass vase from the shelf, and smashing it to pieces. This clever act gets the desired response—everyone is startled and Yolanda is asking questions. Unfortunately, it’s Edgar who goes to see what’s going on. While he cleans up the glass, he warns them that being clever will only make things end badly for them. They better behave! Understand?! (I know he scared the pants off of me, but our kiddies seem to be made of stronger stuff.) He leaves them once again in their bedroom prison. Edgar reports back to the adults that an open window and a curtain caused the vase to fall and break. Yolanda apparently did not kill off too many brain cells in her attempted suicide because she questions this. Juanita always keeps the window closed to keep out the noise from the street. And where is she? Adolfo explains that he gave her time off, and anyway, Nurse Aida will be here to take care of her. Aida and Carlos take Yolanda up to her room.

At JJ’s, Ale has turned her back on JJ in her hurt at being spoken to so harshly. Doesn’t he know she’s worried too and how badly she feels? He had no right to speak to her that way. He apologizes and calls himself a brute. He begs her not to cry. Ale wonders what they are going to do. She’ll never forgive herself! JJ assures her that everything will be alright and envelops her in a bear hug.

Adolfo and Edgar share a celebratory drink. Things are going so well, that Adolfo is thinking of making Edgar his new right hand man. He wants them to keep the kids tied up tonight, and by tomorrow they will be so scared that they’ll tell them where that letter is. They toast to their successful kidnapping.

In the bedroom prison, Chicles has not given up. He’s wondering how to cut the rope just when he hits the jackpot (loteria) with a missed piece of the broken glass. Caramelo watches as Chicles pulls a MacGyver. Back at the homestead, Limon is wondering if they should call Lucha (the answer would be, yes), but JJ doesn’t think they should worry her yet. JJ comes up with the brilliant idea to call the police. (He’s just thinking of this now?!) However, Ale did that long ago, but was told of the need to wait 24 hours before being able to declare a person missing. (For children too! Remind me never to lose a small child in Mexico.) Ale suggests they go to the Ministry of Public Affairs to make an official report (levantar un acta). (They make this way too difficult. Where’s the Amber Alert? Remind me never to lose a small child in Mexico.) JJ decides to call Leo to get his help. He instructs them to meet him at the Ministry of Public Affairs where they will make the report. Bring pictures of the children.

Chicles’ escape attempt is interrupted by Edgar who sort of apologizes to them for being so harsh. He then tucks them in to bed and tells them if they tell them what they want to know tomorrow, they’ll be free. The kids seem to ponder their next step, but Chicles decides to carry on. He retrieves the piece of glass and continues cutting.

At Leo’s office, the report is done, and JJ and Ale listen to Leo’s recommendations. He will serve as the point of contact between them and missing person’s bureau (CAPEA). Although the 24 hours hasn’t passed yet, Leo will get on them to get the search started right away. In the meantime JJ and Ale need to return home, wait for the kids to return, or for a call from someone who’s found them, or….. kidnapped them.

At Yolanda’s, Edgar has tucked himself in for the night in the couch. Chicles manages to get himself free, and decides that the letter, that is now tucked into his shoe, is safer either destroyed or elsewhere. He decides to leave it intact, and stuffs it into a opening in the lining of the mattress. To keep up the ruse and to keep them safe for now, he decides to put back Caramelo’s gag.

At his condo, a very pleased (and strangely very hunky) looking Adolfo enjoys a brandy and a ciggie on his couch. His moment of serenity is interrupted when, an even more hunky looking, Roberto peeks from around the corner. “It can’t be. You’re dead! ” Leo told him he was dead. Oh contraire. Roberto’s more alive than ever. To prove it he gets himself a drink. He’s got unsettled business with Adolfo. “Vaya!” He’s not as big of an idiot as Adolfo thought. Where are the shoes?! “Everything in time. First, we have to talk.” He refreshes Adolfo’s drink and reclines himself on the adjacent couch. Adolfo will not be squeezed for more money! He’s already been paid for his work. That’s not why Roberto came. Remember the last time he came, he said there was something he had to tell him about Mario? Well it was about this. He pulls out a bottle of poison and begins to drop it into Adolfo’s drink while chuckling. Adolfo shoots up from his seat. Roberto must be crazy if he thinks Adolfo is going to drink that. Oh contraire. Adolfo already has. Bwahahaha!!!!!! “How do you feel? Bad?” Adolfo begins to clutch his chest and cough. “Why did you do this to me?” “Because YOU poisoned me! YOU poisoned me! And now the one who will die is you! The student has become the master! Hahaha!” Roberto leaves the room in triumph as Adolfo yells no and begins to cough, seize and writhe from the effects of the poison. He falls over on the couch foaming at the mouth as we hear the midnight bells toll. As he sucks in his last gasp of air, he suddenly springs awake from his bed—terrified and disheveled. “Damn Roberto!”

Yolanda is also having a sleepless night. She rises from bed to find an empty water glass- empty, like her life. Zaidad and Edgar’s conscious is not bothering them in the least. They are both soundly asleep. As Yolanda passes Edgar on the couch with her glass of water, she hears the voices of children. Caramelo wants to get out of there. She wants her mommy! Chicles thinks they need to play along. When Yolanda rattles the door, they reposition the gags and feign sleep. Yolanda gets the spare key from a nearby vase, unlocks the door, and screams in horror to find two bound children in the bed. “Niños!!!” The three look at each other in horror and surprise.

Thank you, Vivi!! Here are the You Tube links for Episode 94:

What an episode. Vivi, you've got a real gem to recap.

Food for thought while we're waiting...What on earth was Adolfo thinking to bring Yolanda back to her condo with the two kidnapped kiddies already ensconsed.

The story works for us, since they are discovered by Yolanda, but logically, Ado should have let Carlos take her to his place for a few days. That way, he wouldn't have needed Naughty Nurse.

Chicles would have seen through her disguise soon enough. Carlos' curiosity was certainly raised. Had he seen Zaida before with Ado? Can't remember.
Newbie-One
 

Looking forward to the recap Vivi. This certainly was an exciting episode. Chicles is a quick thinker isn't he? We all knew he would give Adolfo and the gang a run for their money and he didn't disappoint. Zaida is no Florence Nightingale I tell you.

When Roberto peered from around the corner at Adolfo, I screamed, "What the hell!" That was a great nightmare Adolfo had. The ghosts of his past are definitely paying him a visit.

Glad that JJ and Alex told Leo about the kidnapping. Can't wait to see Adolfo sweating when the kids pics shows up everywhere.

Finally, loved Yolanda finding the kids. That was a nailbiter moment for sure.
 

Thanks, Vivi for the great summary to get us started.

Hi, everyone; I was in disbelief at Adolfo having the children brought to Yolanda's. At first I thought that Adolfo believed that Yolanda would be remaining in the hospital longer, but there seems to be no indication of that. I also had thought that Carlos would take her to his place, but of course Yolanda and Carlos would assume that the loyal maid would be in residence, and she would be kept comfortable in her own home.
This should make for the final straw and ultimate downfall of
Adolfo. I hope Yolanda has the
courage now to contact the police
immediately.
 

I'm sure that now that Yolanda discovered the kids she will help them get away safely. I hope no one heard her scream. This novela is getting more and more exciting with each episode.

Thanks for the summary, Vivi. Can't wait to read your recap. That Chicles is something!!

Ann-NYC
 

Thanks for the summary Vivi, I know your recap will be wonderful. Can't wait!!

Newbie, I think it was Edgar that Carlos was looking at so closely. Carlos would have seen him before as part of the security staff at Mario's.

I laughed at Zaida's name being changed to "Aida". They had to use an almost identical name? What, she wouldn't respond to being called Nurse Nancy? How about "Hey - You in the Nurse's Uniform"?

Loved Roberto's entrance! He looked even more maniacal than usual. Talk about a bad dream. I wonder if Adolfo had to change his sheets...
 

Evening everyone. The recapp is up now. Thanks for the patience. This was a really exciting episode, mainly because I feared so much for the kids. Edgar has flashes of kindness, but his is also really violent and psycho. I also really felt Ale's anguish. I would also be a mess in that situation, but she took all the right steps after the kids went missing.

I think Carlos has glimpsed Zaida before. I feel like maybe he saw her briefly on his way in or out of the condo before. But it could be either her or Edgar that is ringing a bell. We'll see.

What will happen now that Yolanda has found the kids??!!!

Roberto-- Best Novela Ghost Ever! I loved that scene. It was so real. No pastey white skin, hollow eyes, or echoing voices to be found. Nice to see Roberto again and see him looking so good. :)
 

Hi, Vivi Fabulous Recap -
also loved the Dickens part in the summary. Just realized that the
henchman whom Édgar beat up was the
bald-headed policeman who slept with Ivana in STUD - if there are any STUD viewers here.
 

Also, re the beaten up henchman,
I would like to have an exact translation of what he said to Édgar. Was he mocking him for his new "leadership" position with Adolfo?

Re Carlos recognizing Édgar, I don't remember Carlos going to
the Genoves home while the bodyguards were there, but I could well be mistaken.

Thanks for all the help.
 

Vivi, your title is clever and your recap is both humorous and helpful. I loved all your very funny asides.

Adolfo's downfall will be due to his own mistakes. He should have taken the kiddies to the dirty safehouse where he took Roberto after he thought Roberto had failed the "kill Mario" mission. Also the goons didn't bother to tie up the kids legs so Chicles has free range in the room. Oh, yes, Roberto does make a good looking ghost better than when he was alive and scheming.

The kidnapping is a mess. Will Yolanda follow her troubled conscience and help the kids? We know she loved Carlos since he was an infant. She isn't a mean hearted person and that is her problem. With all the talking going on, Edgar or Aida will soon be awake. Oh, no!

The goon that Edgar kicked in the family jewels may be more trouble. Hope he doesn't do Edgar in. As stated, Edgar may have a tiny bit of good in his psychopathic body but then, maybe not.

Jeri, thanks for the links.

GinCA
 

Floridia- Here's the gist of what went down with Edgar and the other goons (and yes, goon 1 is the detective from STUD and Cayote from FELS):
Goon #1: Are your Edgar? Are you just going to stand there (paradote), or are you going to help?
Edgar walks quietly over and then kicks Goon #1 in his sensitive man parts. Then he drags him over to the car and throws him against it.
Edgar: Listen to me good you (Goon #2) and this idiot (Goon #1)! You’re going to treat me with respect! Watch yourself! (Carry yourself with much caution.) Bring the brats!
 

I don't think social services is going to like, or be understanding about, Elsa being in jail. If they find out, it's bye bye Caramelo. Perhaps this will be what pushes Ale to decide to adopt her afterall (especially after what will be a close call with the kidnapping)?
 

Aribeth, I left a comment for you on yesterday’s page..

Vivi, my full thanks for your fabulous recap will come later!

Two things, I’m glad JJ didn’t come down too hard on Ale. They had a bad moment, but then they settled in TOGETHER into finding los niños. That shows there is strength in their relationship.

I would have been furious if the Roberto sequence hadn’t been a dream. We don’t need to have our bad guys resurrect themselves to go forth and multiply torturing the good guys.

Mau is the greatest GALAN ever! Never mind that he is a secondary character, he deserves TOP BILLING!

So we had a Cub Scouts' camp out at Yolanda’s place with half of the novela in attendance including the kidnapped children...¿Qué?
 

Vivi, I'm especially grateful for your humorous asides cause this one was tough to watch. lol: "...even worse than dating Roberto." "He somehow does not laugh at their names." Also, liked your allusion to the two knights (JJ and Mau) for Elsa and for Yolanda (Carlos and Adolfo).

Chicles, I finally forgive you for stomping down Caramelo's sandcastle. If one has to be kidnapped, you're the boy to be with.

Yes, indeed, Roberto looked pretty handsome. My first thought was hell must have a pretty good stylist.
 

It was good to see Fabián Robles again looking so well, and yes, to be sure, more maniachal than ever.

Jeri, thanks for the links; I don't need them now, but I will for the last 2 weeks of the novela
when I will be attending a language school in Guatemala.

Thanks also for the translation between Édgar and the goons. I am, however, still trying to figure out what construction, part of speech is paradote. Pararse means to stand, but I don't know where paradote comes from. Estar parado is motionless; need help.

Many thanks to all
 

Floridia- adding "ote" at the end of something makes that thing bigger, stronger, or gives it more emphasis. Something can be large and you'd say it's grande. But if you wanted to emphasize it and say it's really huge (like the made up word ginormous) you would say it's grandote.
 

"hell must have a pretty good stylist" LOL Niecie! :) Indeed, death becomes Roberto.
 

Floridia- One more tip- "ote" is the opposite of "ito" (which converts to the diminutive).
 

Great recap Vivi!

I just finished watching the episode. I hadn't seen the ones before so it was weird seeing Elsa in jail so soon. I agree that this will be bad for the adoption process and I'm afraid that this is the way the whole deal will be resolved. By taking Elsa out of the possible parents.

I thought taking the kids to Yolanda's place was a terrible choice but I'm glad they weren't sent to some awful place. I remember this novela called "Ángeles Sin Paraíso" back in the early ninetie where two kids were the main stars but the story was NOT for small kids. Anahí (who was actually a pretty good child actress) and a boy who played her little brother were kidnapped and spent time in a basement and he had some kind of allergy and almost died, it was pretty scary.

By the way, the dinner where I have lunch everyday has the tv on a program that shows scenes from telenovelas. I'm afraid I've somehow gotten hooked on Teresa. I think I've been going there at the right hour just to see what's been happening and I just watched the latest episode on tvolucion. Gah, I don't have time to follow it. I hope Uni will show it in the summer so I can be able to follow it with Caray Caray.

Jarocha
 

By the way Vivi:

"(Really Limon? I expect a bit more concern from you.)"

Gah, me too! I wasn't that uspet with Limón over his behaviour during the whole adoption battle because I got that he was sad for losing Caramelo, but he has being so insensitive towards Elsa. I was very annoyed.

Floridia: have a great time in Guatemala, one of the girls living in the boarding house I'm in is Guatemalan and she's told me so much about her country. I really want to visit it.

Jarocha
 

Vivi, I really appreciate the grammar lesson. I get it now.

Jarocha,

I go to Antigua, Guatemala.
I went there for 4 wks in summer of 08 and 3 wks in summer of 09.
It was summer in the US but winter there. There are only 2 seasons:
summer and winter; the temperature
is about the same 74/75 degrees during the day; it can go to 59 at night. The big difference between the seasons is that in their winter it rains often whereas in their summer, it almost NEVER rains. So, I am looking forward to their summer with no rain. I will be living with a family. I have 2 wonderful teachers, Norma in the morning and Vinicio in the afternoon. We sit in the garden,
and I decide what I want to study. My first summer I wanted to
concentrate on verbs. Now I want to concentrate on talking and learning everyday conversational vocabulary for fluency. The people are wonderful and the country is beautiful. My teacher Vinicio taught Americans et al
as part of the Peace Corps for 15 years. He initiated them in the language. He knows his grammar backward and forward, and when he took his test to apply for the Peace Corps, he was number #1 in Antigua. He and his wife have very little money similar to most of the people with whom I came in contact. There is no room for even a cup of coffee at a cafe with his wife on a Saturday afternoon. No extras whatsoever. If you ever want my email, I can tell you about 2 nice families where you could stay.

Theoretically, Ale could be charged with chld abuse for leaving the children in the car, and could be considered an unfit
mother; in contrast, Elsa was an innocent pawn and will be cleared of all charges.
 

Jarocha- Good to hear from you here and over on TdA. It sounds like you are doing well in school, although very busy. I'm sure you are impressing your professors.

I hope they show Teresa here since you think it's good. It's nice that you are able to go to that diner each day to see the synopsis of your favorite novelas. I hope you are able to find some time for fun as well as all your work. :)
 

Thank you Vivi for your fantastic recap. Just loved the title.

Thank you Jeri for the links.

I knew Chicles would be a resourceful kid. Lucky Caramelo to have him to protect her. He is going to be her hero, that's for sure. Mini MacGyver sure describes our Chicles.

It was great to see Roberto again even if in Adolfo' nightmare. Watching him made me think of how much I missed seeing him in this novela. So Adolfo's subconscious was remembering that Roberto was going to tell him some important information, but then Roberto died.

I am still trying to work out why Adolfo had the kids installed in Yolanda's house? That was strange, and then installing Zaida as Naughty Nurse Aida. What the.... Did I miss something? Has Adolfo lost the plot or what.

Margaret
 

Good morning! Thank you for the fantastic recap and the alliterative title, Vivi! :)

Ladies, thank you for your comments at my recap. Unfortunately my internet connection died on Thursday, and it was useless until 20 minutes ago.

Ay, Asunción. I remember the times when you were the irritating founder of Team Elsa.

Robertoooooooo! *fangirl scream* Do you have a great time in the special level of hell?

Floridia:
could be charged with chld abuse for leaving the children in the car

Theoratically, and completely aside from the show - I always found the behaviour of child protective services and social workers strange. There are thousand of well known cases when children were brutally abused for years and nobody (i.e. police, social workers) helped them, but in the meantime government services love to kick the butts' of parents who committed tiny mistakes.
 

Aribeth: I just posted a comment on your great Thursday recap.

Vivi, you did this exciting episode masterful justice. Loved the title!

Wonderful lines included: "Zaida puts on her disguise—dark haired Naughty Nurse", "sexy sax break: and my favorite: "two knights in (tarnished) armor"?

Edgar is indeed a psychopath. Oh and speaking of, a crazed, glassy eyed (yet somehow apprealing) Roberto was a welcome sight.

Ale and Elsa, both suffering! Ack. I'm so relieved JJ is "manning up" and doing everything possible to help Elsa.

I was happy that Yolanda found the children so quickly. What WAS Adolfo thinking?? Did he really think he would get away with his nefarious plan?

I hope Caramelo and Chicles get freed tonight. Not enjoying this storyline but am enjoying the wonderful recaps and comments!

Diana
 

I was noticing last night in the LVO cast list that the actresses for Dora and Caramelo both have the surname, Lozano. Wonder if they are related.
 

Jeri- I wondered that too. I also wondered if the Caramelo actress (Karla Lozano) is related to the actress/singer Karyme Lozano (Nina Amada Mia, Amar sin Limites, etc). Names that start with "K" are so unusual in Spanish- they both have that in common, as well as their last names and profession.
 

Vivi, thanks for your recap and the fun title.

I think placing the kids at Yolanda's shows Adolfo's hubris and works out well for the kids. Yolanda's guilty conscious will rescue them (as soon as she gets rid of Edgar).
 

Jeri & Vivi, I checked into the 2 Lozanos - nothing about Karla. Karyme has an 8 yr. old daughter Angela. Irma has an actress daughter Maria Rebeca Alonso and a husband (at least at one time - no details) José Alonso... nothing about a granddaughter.
 

Thanks for the research Floridia. :)
 

Thanks Vivi for your awesome recap. I love this TN but there is just not enough time in the day to catch up. Adolfo is loosing it. Why bring the kids to Yolanda's? He must have a lot of creepy places he could have stashed them. Poor Yolanda, she is now going to discover how awful her lover [or whatever he is] really is. Hopefully, she is remorseful enough about their past dealings to help the kids. What does he need the letter for anyway? Is it to blackmail JJ or to protect his son? He hates both characters and he has enough ill gotten gains to last him a lifetime.So what is it?
Kidnapping kids is as low as he can get so lets hope a truly painful and horrible death awaits him.

Hanna
 

Vivi, wonderful recap. I especially enjoyed all your ironic asides,  especially those that captured the flavorful looks and comments of Limon. He really doesn't know how to handle losing Caramelo, and isn't able to work himself into a position to get her back. You captured him wonderfully.  Thanks Vivi! 

Floridia, your trip sounds fabulous and I think we'll get to share it with you if you manage to watch and post from there!  
 

Floridia, thanks for looking the Lozanos up -- and have a great trip!
