Caray, Caray!

(Llena de Amor Capitulos 154 & 155 re-edited to 1 hour, aired on Univision 3/10/2011) Recap by Audrey

Continued from last night, Jorge and MV have been sitting on a park bench where MV declares her undying love for Emanuel and suggests that maybe Jorge should just return to Spain. Jorge leaves very upset with a parting shot “I just hope you realize the huge mistake you are making opening your heart to Emanuel again.”

“Oh Jorge, Jorge - forgive me!” cries MV as Jorge walks away. And who should show up in the park but el Big Orange Meany (BOM). He nabs MV AGAIN! [Duh - why doesn’t MV have a bodyguard when everyone knows BOM is on the loose!] Mauricio forcibly drags MV away.

Kristel is at the RyD Casa pool talking to a wet and sneezing Lorenzo (after his pool fight with Emiliano). “Neta, te pasaste!” (You truly outdid yourself!). Kristel is furious that Lorenzo came and asked Daddy for her hand. A sneezing Lorenzo is totally confused - he thought that was what she wanted. She’s mortified. She denies she ever demanded that. “But we were going to flee together my love. But everything changed when you gave Muñeca my son.” complains Lorenzo. Kristel is totally not interested in raising HIS escuincle. “Please - keep away.” she demands. “What happened to our plans, my love?” he asks. Sorry - she’s changed her mind. It would be foolish to have a relationship someone who has a thousand problems like him. He’s just too old and now she’s got other plans - namely her super model career. She’s not interested in being an old man’s housewife or nursemaid - no thanks! “Sorry, it’s over! Please leave.” Lorenzo is devastated.

José catches Netty going through stuff in his room at the pension! “I can’t believe you had to look through my stuff!” he cries. “I have a right to know who enters my house,” sulks Netty. “I would have been happy to answer all your questions but you snooped in my room.” “But those papers say you are a murderer! I don’t think you would have been honest.” she replies. José proclaims his innocence. “Twice I have risked my life for people in this pension. Would a bad person have done that?” No matter, Netty asks him to leave her pension today.

Gretel is talking with Paula and Delicia in the Casa RyD foyer. The doorbell rings. Oh! It’s Doctora Chelatina! “¡Hola Tesoro!” “Time for another session” over Gretel’s protest. “Last time I was very clear that there would be no more sessions,” scolds Gretel. “I know, mi amor, and I heard you perfectly, but I was also very clear with you!” says the hair-flipping doctora as she pats Gretel’s hand and chin. “Netty has already paid for the sessions, mi corazón. Just an hour. We need to get your ‘cabales’ back - poo koo ja ja!” [I ADORE doctora Chelatina! I wish (s)he would come visit my house! I could listen to her talk all day! I’d even let her pat my face, LOL!]

In her bedroom, a crying Kristel is begging daddy for forgiveness. “Perdóname, Please! I was soooo confused and hurt...... But it’s all over with Lorenzo.” “I’m going to make sure it is” swears Emiliano. “This is the lowest thing you could have ever done. You have no idea how incredibly disappointed I am in you” and leaves in disgust. Hmm - wow, those were crocodile tears! Kristel wipes them away as soon as Daddy leaves.

Back to Gretel in session with Dra Chelatina. “I want to talk about my sister because I just found out she was involved with Lorenzo who is an awful guy with criminal connections.” “Oh yes, ‘lacras’ like Fonseca and Garduño.” replies Chela. “How did you know?” asks Gretel shocked. “Oh - I’m a well informed woman, I read the papers. And your sister suffers from trastorno de erotomanía y concupiscencia. And you committed the worst error by breaking up with your boyfriend because of her, corazón.” “I know, doctora, if I had Oliver in front of me right now I would give him a bunch of kisses and forgive him.” admits Gretel. “Really?” asks Chela getting all excited. “Excuse me, mi corazón, I need to leave right away - I forgot a conference!” “But doctora you said we had an hour session and that was only 15 mins!” says Gretel, confused. “But you progressed a whole year, mi corazón!” Chela assures Gretel as she breezes out the door.

Cut back to BOM dragging MV away from the park as she struggles and complains to let her go. Mau warns for her to behave herself or else it will go very badly for her. MV resists, and he takes out his gun. “Your destiny is to die in my arms!” and he forces her into his car. Doris sees this and runs after them yelling for help.

José is packing to leave the pension. “Que ironía! I returned to the city to die in peace, and it turns out I get in the middle of a hell worse than what I experienced in prison!” “It’s not my fault you were hiding your life!” complains Netty. “I didn’t hide anything from you. Fine, I’m leaving. And don’t worry - I’m not capable of hurting any woman much less one as lovely as you.” “You lied to me and everyone in this pension.” replies Netty. “I never lied to you - I just kept quiet.” explains José. “There was no reason to tell you the whole story of my life Netty! Besides, if I had told you everything about me, would things have been different?” “Maybe not,” mumbles Netty. Oops - looks like José is having a heart attack! He collapses in a dead faint on the bed. Netty hysterically yells for help.

Kristel is meeting with Mayela in her office. Mayela is going to help Kristel become a supermodel. “The camera loves you, you look terrific” Mayela tells Kristel. “I’ll do anything you tell me!” gushes Kristel. “You’ll be the most sought-after model in Mexico.” promises Mayela. “You can become a even more famous model than Ilitia.” to Kristel’s delight. Mayela is tired of Ilitia’s tantrums and lack of professionalism. “You are coming with me for a week in new York!” Mayela tells Kristel.

The bathing suit fashion show in Acapulco. Brandon looks all fancy in black, shades, and headset while bathing suit models parade past. “Here comes our top international model, Ilitia Porta-Lopez!” says the announcer. “There you are, Ilitia Porta-lopez, standing on your pedestal.” narrates Brandon to himself. “Who could know that behind that smile and apparent self-confidence is a woman frustrated, alone, who doesn’t accept what she is,” he says derisively. But he sure checks out her derriere as she slow-mo saunters past him.

Manzanita and Cristian are at Muñeca’s and Garduña plays Santa Claus outside with the kids. A beaten Lorenzo looks through fence and weeps.

MV is passed out on bed in a room with big evil Mau. “You thought I was going to kill you, but you are no good to me dead! I want to make you mine.” Big nasty thing wakes her up. “Here is your prince and I swear to you I am going to give you much more than a kiss!” She wakes up disoriented. “Here we are in a hotel.” BOM tells her. “What are you going to do?” cries MV. BOM starts to undress - yuck!!!! “People are going to realize I’m gone and they are going to call the police.” MV tells him. “They won’t find us. “Don’t worry - Victoria I’m going to be so patient with you.” [OK - enough already with Mau being such a gross-out sleazoid! ¡Estoy harta!]

Gladiola and Netty are tending a very feverish José at the pension. Netty is thinking they may need to give him an ice bath to bring down the fever. José is delirious, saying stuff, begging for his son. “Tell me the truth - where is my son? What did you do with my son Fedra Curiel?” he demands. Netty and Gladiola are shocked to hear this.

Ug! - OK another horrible scene with Mau this being revenge for Victoria double crossing him and Victoria begging. “Why don’t you like me? I’m handsome enough. I’m the best lover in the world.” asks Mau. “You are bad, violent” explains MV, “some women don’t like that.” Mau complains that he wanted to marry Victoria. Now he wants to see her in a wedding dress.

Over at Casa RyD, Kristel is complaining. “Why is my house filed with police?” Kristel doesn’t believe BOM took Victoria by force. “Oh - Victoria had something going with my ex-puchungito!” “If you don’t have something more intelligent to say - say nothing.” admonishes Emiliano. Manolo reports for duty to help. “Lets go get them! It’s my sister, dude!”

Emanuel is at the pension with Netty and Gladiola. He has come to tell them that BOM kidnapped Victoria. “Please find Brandon Moreno for us.” The ladies totally freak out! “Emanuel you have to do something!” cries Netty. “I need to talk to Morena so he can help us find her.” Gladiola, a little embarrassed, tells Eman she thought he already knew that Ilitia had hired Brandon as her bodyguard and took him to Acapulco with her. Emanuel looks pretty surprised.

We cut to Brandon’s office where Ilitia and Brandon have just returned from Acapulco. Brandon is hugging Ilitia as she tells him she feels safe in his arms. Just at that moment, Fedra walks in [of course!]. “Ilitia Porta-Lopez de Ruiz y de Teresa! What are you doing hugging that man!”

Back at Netty’s. No, Eman didn’t know anything! “Why did Ilitia hire Morena as her guardaespaldas?” Netty thinks if a woman doesn’t tell her husband it’s because she’s hiding something. Eman agrees. Gladiola thinks that’s too harsh. Netty directs Eman’s attention back to the urgency of Victoria’s situation. She thinks el lirio de plata is the one for the job. Eman agrees. He knows Victoria is really important to her. “She’s more important than you even think. You need to do this for her - and yourself too! For now and forever!” cries Netty. Eman is impressed but mystified. “She is...... She is la mujer de tu vida!” Netty finally declares. “Uh-huh?” says Eman, confused. [Those brain wheels looks stuck there again Eman!]

In Brandon’s office Fedra accuses Ilitia of having a roll in the hay with Brandon, which of course Ilitia vehemently denies. “What are you doing with this guy who only wants to ruin our life?” scolds Fedra. Brandon protests he’s just with Ilitia in a professional capacity and they were saying goodbye when Fedra walked in. This is not fooling Fedra for one minute! But Fedra is there with papers to show that Bernardo’s fine has been paid and all Eva’s money has been returned to Marianela, so Brandon should release him right away.

Now Victoria is tied to a chair in Mau’s hotel room. “My god I have to get out of here!” she cries and manages to get her wrists free and calls Eman on the nearby cell.

Back at Casa RyD Jorge gets a call. “This is not a good moment! Oh - now it turns out you need help!” He exits claiming an emergency. Kristel is annoyed about all this fuss over Victoria. She complains how men turn into such apes - i.e. their neurons quit functioning - whenever a woman is in front of them. Andre explains that this is not a game - Victorias life is at risk. “Whatever” says Kristel. She thinks everyone is here all stressed out, but Victoria must be having a great time with her “ex”. Andre looks away disgusted.

Mau returns to the hotel room. He sees that Victoria has managed to unbind her arms. Wow - he’s brought her a wedding dress! He wants to watch her undress slowly and then put it on. Go on - what is she waiting for? Victoria starts begging for mercy. Mau starts kissing on her - she tries to escape. Mau manages to throw her on bed and starts up the kissing again. “Who goes there?” “It is I!” says el lirio de plata! BOM is impactado.

Casa de RyD. Kristel thinks Andre has got the hots for Doris. No way says Andre. Kristel suggests Andre come up to her room for some fun.

Fedra is at a cafe with Ilitia. “What’s wrong with you! You think you are so refined, but it turns out the girl likes chacalones”. Ilitia protests that it was just business with Brandon. Fedra tells her her obligation is to keep her marriage afloat - forget her modeling career. Jorge shows up. “What’s he doing here?” complains Ilitia. “I asked him to come,” replies Fedra. “You don’t need to explain anything to Ilitia,” announces Jorge, “she knows that I’m just as interested in keeping Victoria and Eman apart as you two.” “OK - what stupid things have you been up to now?” he pointedly asks Ilitia. Ilitia protests innocence while Fedra declares Ilitia is having an affair with that policeman Morena. Ilitia then defends herself that Eman refuses to sleep with her so who can blame her for seeking a little affection. Ilitia gets the oft-repeated “you are a woman you have to convince Eman so he won’t go to another woman” speech from Fedra. Jorge tells Fedra to calm down. He’s already told Ilitia she has to do something - but no! “OK - you both keep telling me I have to do something ‘definitive’ but - what?” demands Ilitia, stumped. “I haven’t been able to think of anything!” “Think, mi reina, think!” responds Fedra. “You need to get pregnant by Eman as soon as possible.” “Ahhhh - that!” says Ilitia amazed “Si, mi vida, eso!” snarls Fedra. Ilitia’s brain really has to process this stupendous idea.

In the hotel room, el lirio de plata is beating up BOM. “I’ll not let you abuse a woman again.” BOM grabs his gun but wants to know what is going on between el lirio and Victoria. “It’s none of your business.” replies el lirio as he kicks away the gun.

Andre is definitely revolcandose half-naked on the bed with Kristel when Jacqui bursts through the door to Kristel’s room to harangue Andre once again about his mujeriego ways.

El lirio has BOM down and he has the gun. “What are you going to do, kill me?” taunts Mau. MV must be passed out on the bed again. “No, I’m not garbage like you.” el lirio answers. He disarms the gun. “What did you do to Victoria?” el lirio asks. “That’s how all women are after being with me.” boasts Mau and he gets some real good punches for that nastiness.

OK - we’re back to Kristel’s room again with Jacqui and Andre. We get the typical loud escena de celos with tons of insults exchanged. FF>> Oops - but Doris walks in to announce el lirio found Victoria, and what is happening here? More insults ensue.

Back at the cafe. “You need to tell Eman that you are pregnant as soon as possible.” lectures Fedra. “Yeah - that’ll work!” answers Ilitia sarcastically. “Eman will know I’ve been with another man because your son doesn’t touch me.” “Well - you’re going to have to find a way to be with him - you need to get pregnant as soon as possible. A woman’s job is to conquistar her man.” Fedra tells her. [And here is delicious pivotal bit that was cut: Fedra tells Ilitia - “Well, maybe Eman won’t be with you for love, but he might be with you for spite (despecho).” Fedra then turns and asks Jorge if he is suficiente hombre con “h” to get Victoria into bed with him. Jorge looks extremely annoyed at the question.]

El lirio de plata is beating up on Mauricio some more while MV passed out on the bed. El lirio threatens BOM if he ever messes with that woman again he’s not going to live to tell it and knocks BOM down. He wakes up Victoria. “You’ll never live a nightmare like this again,” el lirio promises and gets ready to carry her out of the window when the Brandon and his policemen burst into the room guns drawn.

Out on the hotel grounds el comisario is giving orders to a pair of policemen to watch the back of the hotel. He notices that the short one of the pair has been eating way too many tacos and tortas - “What a huge belly you have!” That pair goes off to follow orders as Tejeda watches wonderingly. Manolo is ready to take pictures of Fonseca captured!

Up in the room Brandon tells el lirio “You have no escape. Let go Victoria and turn yourself in!” “You’re surrounded!” adds Oliver. “I already told you where we were” el lirio tells Brandon “Victoria is already saved thanks to me. If you had arrived this would not have happened.” Brandon and Oliver don’t care - the hotel is surrounded, if you try to leave you’ll be shot. “Let Victoria go and I’ll let you go.” Brandon tells el lirio to Oliver’s shock.

Now Brandon and Oliver are back down outside at ground level. Brandon is wondering how it is possible that no one has seen el lirio who left out the window with Victoria. Tejeda admits that he didn’t recognize the policeman with Ramirez watching the back of the hotel. Oliver tells him it couldn’t have been Ramirez as he is in the hospital.
Eman shows up at ground level. “Welcome, welcome, may I know what you are doing here?” demands Brandon. Eman claims he is just here to find Victoria. Tejeda arrests Eman over Manolo’s protests.

Jorge is meeting with Fedra in a study at Casa RyD. “Here are the fingerprints - left and right. Blood sample.” Fedra hands this stuff over to Jorge. “Thanks.” says Jorge, “Now lets talk about money.” “You’re dying to know where I hid the inheritance from Luis Felipe, right?” sneers Fedra “Well here it is.” She hands a brochure to Jorge. “I invested that money down to the last cent.” She’s really proud of this luxury resort in Cancun - it’s even bigger than that huge Tower of Babel they constructed in Dubai! Jorge comments on the other investors - Lorenzo, Pantoja, Garduño. Jorge wants 50%, seeing as how he’s Marianela’s husband, or he’ll take it all away from Fedra. “ Look George! 5%” responds Fedra. “Look Fedra, 30%, or the investigation by Luis Felipe will come to light.” “OK - but I want the original of the investigation right away.” answers Fedra. Jorge laughs. “No way! He knows perfectly well that the second he gives over the originals, he is a dead man!” Fedra reminds him what he needs to accomplish with Victoria. Here as some ‘gotitas de sueña feliz’ (little sweet dream drops) and hands a small vial over to Jorge who takes it. “Look, you take care of your part with Ilitia. I know exactly what I need to do.” says Jorge.

At Muñeca’s, she and Garduño are toasting each other with wine. Muñeca is so grateful for the divorce and Garduño giving her Cristián. Muñeca admits that bad guys like el lirio de plata and Garduño bring out her rebellious side. She loves the daring feeling of being with men like him. “I always dreamed of having a woman like you,” Garduño croons at Muñeca. “intelligent, cultured, refined, elegant. Muñeca, I am capable of putting the world at your feet!” and Garduño goes in for the kiss just as Kristel arrives to see it. “Mamá!”

Mauricio is now behind bars. He whines to Brandon. “You think I had something to do with Victoria’s kidnapping?” He claims he was at the hotel to rescue Victoria. This gets a growl and shirt grab through the bars from Brandon. “There were witnesses that saw you force Victoria into your car!” Mauricio claims he and Victoria have a relationship - that he would never force her to do something she didn’t want to and Victoria loves certain little (wink) games. That gets another growl and grab out of Brandon who tells BOM that he is going to see him behind bars for the rest of his life for what he did to Victoria but ALSO what he did to Ilitia! Brandon looks quite impactado at that!

Nereida calls down the stairs at the RyD mansion. Victoria is in her room, but she thinks Victoria is dead!

Back at the pension. Netty can’t eat any of goodies Gladiola tries to hand her because she’s too worried about MV. Oliver comes in with the great news that they found Victoria! “But then we lost her again! El lirio de plata got there first, rescued Victoria and carried her off.” Netty cheers at this news and tells Oliver not to worry because she’s in the best hands ever! Now Netty bites into the goodies in celebration much to Oliver’s puzzlement.

Eman is in Brandon’s office being interrogated. Brandon says he knows Eman is el lirio de plata - why waste anymore time?” “If I’m el lirio, how could I get Victoria to her house if I was detained here the whole time?” challenges Emanuel. “It’s obvious you had help from your accomplices - Fidel and Benigno.” says Brandon disgusted. Eman turns the tables on Brandon by asking about the Acapulco trip where Brandon was supposedly Ilitia’s bodyguard. This totally flusters Brandon.

Jorge is in MV’s bedroom comforting her. She’s very traumatized about her cruel treatment at BOMs hands. “It’s all over now” croons Jorge. In her hand MV has a lirio de plata that el lirio put in her hands when he brought her home. Jorge is annoyed - he doesn’t understand why that guy has so much interest in MV. “What was that important thing you needed to tell me?” asks MV. I have great news Marianela, something you aren’t expecting. I took on the task of investigating Fedras financial dealings. It wasn’t easy” he boasts, and he shows Marianela something inside the brochure he took from Fedra’s study. “Look at this construction company - here is the name of Juana Felipa Pérez. Fedra is investing in a mega tourist complex in Cancun.” “Oh my God!” says MV stunned. “You found it! You found the inheritance from my Dad that Fedra stole from Tia Carlota.” She is delighted. “Thank you! Thank you!” Marianela enthusiastically hugs Jorge who then, over her shoulder, shows the rest of us a truly evil smile!

Avances:
- Ilitia slaps Kristel for daring to sleep with her Dad. Kristel threatens Ilitia right back since she knows all about Brandon.
- The nefarious plan to separate Eman and Victoria progresses. They show Jorge and Victoria at dinner. Then Victoria wakes up in Jorge’s bed.
