Caray, Caray!

As Gloria hasn’t had the chance to check in with us yet, I thought we should put up a discussion page before the end of the day. You can tell from my title what MY favorite part of last night’s episode was. :)

Here is the quick bullet points version of what went down:
-JJ has decided that Ivan is his prodigal son and demands that he come visit him. He couldn’t care less about Saul. He tolerates Judith and David. No one wants to break it to him that Ivan is his bastard son who hates him.
-Tony and David try to convince Ivan to have some pity and kindness in his heart for JJ and play along. Tony wants him to forgive, and tells the story of how he long ago forgave his wife who had cheated on him. Ivan can’t forget how JJ abused his mother and treated him as a child.
-Camilo starts getting too big for his britches already and gets a swelled head about getting to rub elbows with important government people. He drinks too much, to Antolin’s dismay, and babbles about beating Ivan now that he’ll have more power than him.
-Camilo gives Antolin management of his ranch so that he can dedicate himself full-time to the presidency.
-MP finds a man she CAN refuse and says no to Saul’s advances. She thinks about REAL man Camilo and is more turned on to learn he’s the new Ag Assoc prez.
-Ivan, Lucia and Carly go to see Lic. Zavaleta about Lucia’s divorce. They tell him Ivan is Perlita’s dad, and about Cam’s jealousy and unreasonableness, but don’t tell him about Camilo’s infidelity. Later, Carly says she is willing to testify about the infidelity if needed. Lucrezia opposes this, because of the scandal…naturally. Lucia finally asks her mother why her happiness is less important than MP? We’ve all wondered that too Lucia.
-Camilo yells at Zavaleta, who is the best lawyer in Alamos, that he will get the best lawyer in the next largest town. He refuses to give Lucia her divorce. He threatens Ivan that he will fight for custody of Perla. The DNA test doesn’t scare him because he doesn’t think the judge would look kindly on a guy who abandoned two pregnant women to run off to the States.
-Ivan and Lucia get frisky, despite Carly and the lawyer telling them to keep their distance—meaning NO SEX. For now, they stay strong.
-Antolin and Carolina, on the other hand…Anto doesn’t want Caro sleeping alone in the house at night. Either Rosa starts staying with her at nights, or he’s moving in. Guess what she chooses. He takes her to dinner at a nice restaurant and takes her shopping. Once they get home, the flirting and kissing begin, and they go to the kitchen to make dinner #2 together, since he’s a man with “ferocious appetites.” His words, not mine. He asks which bedroom should he take—Gerry’s, Alex’s, or hers? Any but hers, she says. But later that night, she can’t sleep. Anto can’t sleep either, and he comes knocking on her door asking to just share her bed with her. They try the back to back thing, but sleep is still not what either of them was wanting. Anto makes the first move, turns towards Caro and starts caressing her waist gently. He also starts nuzzling her neck, which leads to passionate kisses. Caro goes with it. (Yeah, I re-watched the scene a few times.)
-The next morning, Caro’s already up and bringing coffee and juice to the bedroom for them. Anto starts to apologize for pushing things the night before, but Caro does not want apologies. She’s very happy, and they express their love for each other. But Caro thinks they need to get married, like now.
-Caro and Celia meet for the first time since Caro regained sight. It’s a tearful, happy meeting. Celia is beside herself with happiness that the two will get married soon and offers to help Caro with all the preparations.
-Since she has power of attorney over JJ’s accounts, Esther decides to pay for Saul’s surgery. He’s over the moon. Wish I liked him so that I could actually be happy for him.

Avances: It’s Gerry Springer, Alamos style! The DNA test results are in, and…Camilo’s not the daddy (we already knew that), BUT neither is Ivan! (Some of us already suspected that.)
