Abismo de pasió #35 4/27/12: You Better be Downstairs in 10 Minutes and You Best Be Wearing Something Short and Skanky!
Dr. Whipped’s Office
The frazzled priest is drinking a glass of communion wine when Gael enters. Gael wants to discuss what happened that morning. He wants an explanation of exactly why Lupe took him to the hotel to see Ingrid. The priest says that he took him so that he can see what a fornicator Ingrid is. How can she be with a man like Gabino? Gael doesn’t believe him and demands to know the truth. Lupe furiously slams back several gulps of the wine as the conversation intensifies. Gael says he’s an adult and demands to hear the truth. The priest prays to the picture of the Virgin Mary and then runs (literally) from the room to avoid telling Gael the truth.
Casa de Arango
Casa de Castanon
Ramona and Paloma have delivered Elisa safely home. Ramona wants to speak with Augusto in order to tell him what really happened by Elisa begs her not to. Paloma tells her that things will always get worse? Augusto walks in the door. Elisa’s body tenses when she hears his voice. He was out looking for her. Ramona greets him and tells him that Elisa was at her house. He told that she should have been walking alone in the “cenote” alone at that hour. It’s dangerous (he ain’t whistling Dixie). Paloma tells him that she has lived there all of her life and nothing crazy has ever happened to her. The neighborhood is very safe except for the occasional Italian, stalker rapist who lurks in the bushes. Elisa thanks her escorts and leaves the room. Ramona tells Augusto that if he loves his daughter, he should show it.
Cantina
Alfonsina is cleaning a wincing Paolo’s (not her son’s) wounds with a cotton ball. She tells him that he needs a doctor, but he still refuses. Afterwards, she hands her tools to Antonia and tells her to take the bandages…away. As soon as Anotonia leaves the room, she asks if the fight was over Elisa. Sitting uncomfortably in his red, paisley, Hugh Heffner, smoking jacket, he grunts to the affirmative. She knew it wasn’t her imagination. She tells him to tell her exactly what happened and not to lie.
Antonia is serving Braulio dinner. He asked if she saw Damien and Paolo when they arrived. She nervously says no. Suddenly Damien enters the kitchen. She runs and hides behind Braulio. Now that his mother isn’t in the room, he wants her to tell the truth. Did Elisa call Paolo? She assures him that she told the truth. He asks if Elisa identified herself on the phone. She says that she recognized her voice. Once Damien leaves, Braulio springs from the table, grabs her and demand to know why Damien was asking her those questions. She says that it’s house business. He says it might be house business, but she better tell him what’s going on right now.
Braulio is still brow-beating his wife. Why did you lie to Damien? He doesn’t believe that Antonia can recognize Elisa’s voice. She basically told him that she lied for the same reason that he puts up with Gabino, to preserve her job. He says that’s different.
Dr. Whipped’s Residence-Dr. and Mrs. Kravitz’s bedroom
Dr. Whipped can’t find the keys to his office. Mrs. Kravitz (Begona) tells him to sleep on it and he will find them in the morning. They get in the bed. Mrs. Kravitz tells her husband that she thinks Enrique’s got a girl. He tired. They will talk about it in the morning. He turns out the lights.
Paloma tells the doctor that someone was enjoying snacks in the office last night. She found two cups of coffee. Things were moved around. The doctor tells her not to worry about it as long as there’s nothing missing. PHONE SIGHTING!!!!!! The doctor immediately calls Mrs. Kravitz and asks where she found his keys. She confirms his suspicions that she found them in Enrique’s bedroom. He says that he remembers putting them there.
Procesadora-Enrique’s Office
Enrique Whipped and Florencia (same funeral dress/shirt, different pattern), are sipping coffee in the romantic setting of his father’s medical practice. Enrique Whipped wants to know if she loves Damien. She replies that she is going to marry Damien. He points out that she didn’t exactly answer the question. She says she is not that enthusiastic about her relationship with Damien. It’s changed since they’ve arrived in La Ermita. "We fight a lot". Enrique Whipped asks if she’s sure that they will marry in the end. She tells him that she’s met a lot of unique and interesting people like him. They stare longingly into each other’s eyes. Was it the glare from the bright, florescent, overhead, medical office lights or the savor of great coffee that contributed to their passion. Surrounded by volumes of text books, and breath taking views of framed, licenses to practice medicine, the sexaphones wail in the background. Their lips meet. Florencia is the first to come to her senses. “No”, she says as she pushes him away. She grabs her purse and says that she doesn’t want to discuss what just happened. He tells her that what he feels is serious and tells her not to play with him. As she rushes towards the door, he grabs her bare arm (that might leave a bruise) and pushes her against the wall. He asks her not to leave, lowers his dark head and they kiss again.
Priest’s OfficeThe frazzled priest is drinking a glass of communion wine when Gael enters. Gael wants to discuss what happened that morning. He wants an explanation of exactly why Lupe took him to the hotel to see Ingrid. The priest says that he took him so that he can see what a fornicator Ingrid is. How can she be with a man like Gabino? Gael doesn’t believe him and demands to know the truth. Lupe furiously slams back several gulps of the wine as the conversation intensifies. Gael says he’s an adult and demands to hear the truth. The priest prays to the picture of the Virgin Mary and then runs (literally) from the room to avoid telling Gael the truth.
Hotel-Hallway Outside of Ingrid’s Room
On the floor, Gabino sits waiting for Ingrid to return from work. She asks why he’s there. He couldn’t see her at the procesadora, so he came to the hotel to see her. He wants to know why she freaked out over the priest. She says the priest would have judged her. After he offers to do some tricks and strange things to her, she allows him to stay. For some reason, she enters the room first, shuts the door and leaves him out in the hallway for less than a second. (If you know why, please do share!). She puts a “No Molestar” sign on the door, and then pulls him inside. Casa de Arango
Horacio and Braulio are waiting outside when a taxi arrives carrying Damien and Paolo. As you recall, the two contenders were just in the “Thrilla in Manilla”, the “Rumble in the Jungle”, the “Beata in La Ermita”! Considering that part of the La Beata took place in a lake, the victor, Damien dryly disembarks from the front seat. Hair unmussed (it’s plausible that he stopped to comb and mouse his hair along the way), he instructs Braulio to assist Paolo out of the backseat. Mr. Ed is at the cantina; pick him up! Proud, dry Paolo resists the help of the two men. “I can make it by myself; go pick up my motorcycle. The taxi driver knows where it is,” he says as he leans on the taxi for support. Limping, Damien enters the house first. His mother sees his bloodied and bruised face and wants to know what happened. He says that he was in a fight with an imbecile and tells her to ask Paolo what happened. The door opens again, and this time Paolo, barley able to walk, gripping his ribs, enters wincing. He uses the walls as his crutch. Alphonsina, afraid that his blood will stain her designer wall paper, yells for Antonia to call the doctor. Although he is clearly in need of one, Paolo tells her not to call the doctor and continues his “I TOOK my BEAT DOWN like a MAN BECAUSE I TRIED TO RAPE A DEFENSELESS CHICK in the WOODS” journey of shame. His agony is reflected as he struggles to take each step. The women try to touch him, but he refuses their help. Alphonsina tells Anotonia to get bandages.
CantinaKenia is walking down the street when she spots Paolo’s motorcycle . She’s stunned.
Ramona and Paloma have delivered Elisa safely home. Ramona wants to speak with Augusto in order to tell him what really happened by Elisa begs her not to. Paloma tells her that things will always get worse? Augusto walks in the door. Elisa’s body tenses when she hears his voice. He was out looking for her. Ramona greets him and tells him that Elisa was at her house. He told that she should have been walking alone in the “cenote” alone at that hour. It’s dangerous (he ain’t whistling Dixie). Paloma tells him that she has lived there all of her life and nothing crazy has ever happened to her. The neighborhood is very safe except for the occasional Italian, stalker rapist who lurks in the bushes. Elisa thanks her escorts and leaves the room. Ramona tells Augusto that if he loves his daughter, he should show it.
Cantina
Once again, one of Gael’s female relatives is alone, in the dark, standing on a corner (I will make no further comments). OK, I lied. Do they know what it they look like? Kenia is leaning against a car when the taxi carrying Horacio and Braulio whizzes by. Braulio, instructs Horacio to take Mr. Ed directly home and not to get distracted. Horacio unties Mr. Ed/Hi! Hoe! Silver!, and chooses not to mount him (very strange), but grabs his reigns and walks him home. Braulio mounts the bike and is just about to fire up the engine, when Kenia runs over and asks if the bike belongs to him. He tells her no, it belongs to someone who just arrived in town. He drives off before she can get anymore 411 on the owner of the bike.
Casa de Augusto, Elisa and CarminaIn front of her vanity, Elisa is sobbing….AGAIN! Yeah, I said it! Email your complaints to Sharkbait, (she’s the boss of the team) because frankly I can’t take it anymore. Lolita comes in for the 35th time (there have been 35 espisodes) and asks Elisa what’s wrong. She felt dirty! She was trying to cross the cenote when Paolo tried to rape her. Lolita wants to know how Paolo knew that Elisa was in the cenote. Elisa doesn’t know, she didn’t tell anyone. Lolita asks her if Paolo raped her. She tells Lolita that he didn’t get the chance because Damien appeared out of nowhere and that’s when the Beata in La Ermita began. She thought Damien was going to kill him. She doesn’t know what would’ve happened if Damien had not appeared. Lolita gives her a hug.
Casa de Arango-Paolo’s RoomAlfonsina is cleaning a wincing Paolo’s (not her son’s) wounds with a cotton ball. She tells him that he needs a doctor, but he still refuses. Afterwards, she hands her tools to Antonia and tells her to take the bandages…away. As soon as Anotonia leaves the room, she asks if the fight was over Elisa. Sitting uncomfortably in his red, paisley, Hugh Heffner, smoking jacket, he grunts to the affirmative. She knew it wasn’t her imagination. She tells him to tell her exactly what happened and not to lie.
Casa de Carmina, Agosto and Elisa-Dinner Table
Carmina asks if Elisa is coming to dinner. Agosto doesn’t know. Carmina asks where Elisa ended up walking? He tells her that she visited Paloma. Carmina says, great, for a minute she thought that Elisa was lying. Agosto, says, nope she told the truth, Ramona and Paloma walked her home. She keeps digging at him about Elisa until he gets pissed off and leaves the table. Cara de Arango-Damien’s Bedroom
Damien is simply wearing two large white towels. One is draped around his neck as if he used it to dry his hair and the other one is wrapped around his waist. As he picked up his pants his pecs kind of twitched, but we get a wonderful shot of his flexing abdominal muscles. Did anyone else notice the chain he’s wearing? Well the charm sits right between his pectorals. I went on the internet to get a closer view of his chest and I notices that he has like a little strawberry birthmark on his sternum….Yum!!! and his arms are to die for! Oh, ummm sorry. I got distracted. We can take this offline and discuss this in the comment section, if anyone else is interested. Alfonsina, interrupts the Oscar winning exiting the shower scene (is there a Golden Globe category or something we can nominate him for?). She’s screaming at him for whuppin’ up on his fiancé’s uncle. She tells him that he acted like a beast. He tries to explain that Paolo was trying to rape Elisa. She says that Elisa probably provoked it. Damien says she wasn’t there, so she doesn’t know. Basically, she says that Elisa’s a flirt. He won’t allow her to talk about Elisa like that. Alfonsina says he’s blind and begins to list Elisa’s “crimes”. Gabina in the park…Paolo in her bedroom and now today…Paolo in the cenote. She says that she has proof and calls Antonia for back up. When Antonia shows up, Alfonsina asks Antonia to tell Damien who called for Paolo that afternoon. Ashamed of about the lie she’s going straight to hell for, Antonia looks down and says that it was Elisa Castanon. Damien tells her to repeat what she just said. She looks uncomfortable and lies again. Commercial
We are back in Damien’s RoomAntonia is dismissed. Alfonsina says that it is obvious that Paolo and Elisa were on a date because she called him. Damien points out that even if they were on a date, he shouldn’t have tried to rape her. Alfonsina says that Elisa provoked it and pretended that he was trying to rape her. Damien calls Paolo a perve. She points out that this isn’t the first time that this has happened and brings up Don Lucio. Damien tells her that Don Lucio told him that Gabino was at fault in that situation as well. He’s upset that his mother believes Paolo over him. She tells him that he’s blind and that she will never accept Elisa is different from her mother.
Don Lucio’s HouseLucio is lovingly looking at a picture of Blanca. Gael is at the door. Elisa was supposed to meet them there to discuss agriculture. Gael wants to use the telephone (Soy Impactada!!!!) to call her. Lucio tells him there’s not need (he probably didn’t pay the bill or it’s an imaginary phone), if she says she’s on her way…she’s on her way. They have a light-hearted chat about how hard the work will be, getting a loan, blah blah blah. Don Lucio needs something to do to get his mind off of his troubles.
Casa de Arango-KitchenAntonia is serving Braulio dinner. He asked if she saw Damien and Paolo when they arrived. She nervously says no. Suddenly Damien enters the kitchen. She runs and hides behind Braulio. Now that his mother isn’t in the room, he wants her to tell the truth. Did Elisa call Paolo? She assures him that she told the truth. He asks if Elisa identified herself on the phone. She says that she recognized her voice. Once Damien leaves, Braulio springs from the table, grabs her and demand to know why Damien was asking her those questions. She says that it’s house business. He says it might be house business, but she better tell him what’s going on right now.
Hotel-Hallway Ingrid’s Room
Kenia rips the “No Molestar” sign from the nob and bangs on the Ingrid’s door. I am about to get hate comments…but you know what? I don’t care. The door opens and shirtless Gabino almost falls out of the door. Gabino’s chest is lightly dusted with just the perfect a hint of blond hair. As he adjusts his pants, we are treated to a delightful shot of his V shaped waist disappearing into his dirty jeans. Kind of makes me wonder what’s in there. What’s at the end of that happy trail? I agonizingly slow down the DVR so that I can get a freeze frame of every shot of his abs. Once again….this is for the comment section and I apologize profusely. He’s hot. I don’t care what he’s done! Judge not!Anyways, Kenia bangs on the door…yada yada yada, Gabino, hot, tan, abs, triceps (Good Gracious!). Ingrid comes to the door and Gabino seems to get greedy. I think the thought the Kenia was going to be extra fun for the party, but Ingrid introduces Kenia as her “friend”. Ingrid tells Kenia that they will talk tomorrow at breakfast. Once it’s determined that Kenia is not there to join the party, Gabino grabs Ingrid pulls her back into the room for what I am sure is a night of pure debauchery and perversion (Ingrid is soooooo lucky) and slams the door in Kenia’s face.
Dr. Whipped ResidenceEnrique climbs onto his sister’s bed and makes out with her (not really). She wants to know why he’s so happy. He tells her about his date in the medical clinic with Florencia. He doesn’t tell about the kiss, but he now knows how important Florencia is to him. His sister tells him not to get his hopes up high. Does he think that she will break her engagement with Damien? He can’t be sure, he says. Mrs. Kravitz enters the room and asks her son where he’s been. With some friends, he answers. Are you sure? Why would I lie, ma? He gives her a kiss and leaves. Mom doesn’t believe him and grills little sister. Sabrina says Enrique doesn’t tell her anything and then she changes the subject and talks about the magazine she’s reading.
Casa de Arango-Living RoomFlorencia tries sneaking into the house, but Alfonsina stops her and asks where she’s been. Florencia lies and said that she’s been with Sabrina. Alfonsina says it’s late. Florencia says they were chatting and forgot the time. She has the right to meet people in the village, right? Alfonsina informs Florencia about the La Beata In Ermita. It was over Elisa. Florencia looks perturbed. Alfonsina tells her to go get the details from Paolo. Florencia hurries off.
Casa de Arango-KitchenBraulio is still brow-beating his wife. Why did you lie to Damien? He doesn’t believe that Antonia can recognize Elisa’s voice. She basically told him that she lied for the same reason that he puts up with Gabino, to preserve her job. He says that’s different.
Casa de Arango-Damien’s Bedroom
Sad, Damien is sitting on his bed with his clothes on and let me tell you that I am extremely disappointed. Florencia KNOCKS on his bedroom door instead of barging in first. Doesn’t she sleep with him? I think they have sex! I’m baffled, but I have to forge on. Anyways, Florencia opens the door without an invitation and calls him an animal. Once again, he tries unsuccessfully to explain that Paolo was trying to rape Elisa. She said that Elisa wanted it. Commerical.Casa de Arango-Damien’s Bedroom
Damien tells her to shut up because she doesn’t know what she’s talking about. She doesn’t have to shut up! She doesn’t understand why he defends that chick. He tells her to shut up again. She tells him to open his good eye (his other one is bruised from the fight…just a little joke, nevermind). Anyways, how is it that he is the only one who doesn’t see that Elisa is a tramp and tease? Why is everyone else wrong? How would she know? It’s obvious, she says. The whole village talks about her and her family doesn’t respect her either! Her father showed up at our engagement party and popped her in the mouth! He changes the subject and wants to know if she was really with Sabrina. She says yeppers, and then flips the conversation back to him. He’s only asking where she was so that they don’t have to discuss Elisa. She acts indignant. I LIKE HER!!!! She is quick and good. She’s Great! Dr. Whipped’s Residence-Dr. and Mrs. Kravitz’s bedroom
Dr. Whipped can’t find the keys to his office. Mrs. Kravitz (Begona) tells him to sleep on it and he will find them in the morning. They get in the bed. Mrs. Kravitz tells her husband that she thinks Enrique’s got a girl. He tired. They will talk about it in the morning. He turns out the lights.
Casa Castanon
Guess which character in the house is in tears once again? Anyone? Anyone? Wrong! It’s Elisa! Anyways, Elisa is in bed listening to her music box when Carmina comes in to check on her. Carmina noticed that she returned from Paloma’s house kind of late. Elisa says that they were chatting. Carmina says that she thought that she would be with Paolo. She tells her something unpleasant was waiting in the cenote for her. If it wasn’t for Damien, something bad could have happened. Elisa tells her to run and tell Agosto. She’s almost convinced that it was Carmina who told Paolo where she would be. Why is she asking so many questions about him? She’s also sure that it was Carmina who let him in her room. Basically Carmina tells her that she’s paranoid and challenges her to prove it. Somewhere in La Erminta-I don’t know where the hell Damien is
A distraught Damien is walking down the street. Poor cutie, he’s almost in tears. Ya know what would make us all feel better? Take your shirt off. It would certainly put a smile on my face. Anyways, Damien sinks down to the curb and along comes Ramona. Don’t ask. I don’t know why or when she got there. I don’t know how. Just accept it like I did. He’s holding his little amulet. She tells him that he knows what to do. Use the amulet to talk to his heart or something or other. Then…just like that…she walks off. Commericial.
Dr. Whipped’s OfficePaloma tells the doctor that someone was enjoying snacks in the office last night. She found two cups of coffee. Things were moved around. The doctor tells her not to worry about it as long as there’s nothing missing. PHONE SIGHTING!!!!!! The doctor immediately calls Mrs. Kravitz and asks where she found his keys. She confirms his suspicions that she found them in Enrique’s bedroom. He says that he remembers putting them there.
Procesadora
Braulio shows Enrique into his new office. Enrique wants to know why he was given such a great honor. Damien gave you the big office. That’s strange. We don’t get along. Maru comes in and tells Enrique that his father is there to see him. Restaurante
Ingrid looks…satisfied (I knew she would be). I’m sorry! He is so hot! Send your emails to Sharkbait! Ingrid orders two coffees. Ingrid tells her daughter the she (Ingrid) is very relaxed, but Kenia looks tired. Kenia wants to know about the guy that Ingrid had in her room last night. His name is Hotness and we work together. Kenia calls her mother Ingrid, so we know they have to be close. Anyway, Kenia knows that her mother is using Gabino. She says of course, what other use do men have? Kenia tells Ingrid that she saw Paolo’s motor cycle. Ingrid tells her that she is imaging things. She tells Kenia to go back to the hotel room and pack her things. Go back to Mexico and get rid of the baby. She’s already two months along. Kenia says she wants money and she wants to know her half brother. Kenia assures her mother that she won't tell anyone that they are related. Procesadora-Enrique’s Office
Dr. Whipped has come to speak with his son Enrique Whipped. He doesn’t want to talk at the house in front of Mrs. Kravitz. Where were you last night? Enrique says with some friends. His father tells him that he knows that he was in the love cave office with a woman. He tells his father that he is wrong. I think that Dr. Whipped thought that Jr. was messing around with Carmina. That’s why he gives him the speech about bad girls. Jr. tells his father that he’s messing with Florencia Laducci. Your boss’ girlfriend? What? Are ya nuts? Whipped tells Jr. that this is not honorable on his part (because Whipped is an extremely honorable man who sleeps with his friend's wife).
Casa de Arango-Broomhilda’s Room
Anotonia’s boobs. Does she ever put them away? Antonia tells Alfonsina that Damien asked about the phone call. She feels bad about what she told Damien. She tells her heffer (I mean jefa) that she didn’t recognize the voice on the phone. The woman on the phone was much older, the voice deeper. It wasn’t the voice of a girl. La Heffer threatens the jobs of both Antonia and Braulio. Antonia will not open her mouth.
Casa de Castanon
Damien bursts through the door and demands to know where Elisa is. He barely gives Lolita time to answer. He kicks open the door (exaggerating) and tells Elisa that he needs to talk to her. Freshly showered, Elisa yells at Damien...you don’t just come into my bedroom! Lolita should announce you first. He doesn’t care, he’s has WHIPPED himself into a frenzy. Lolita marches in and tells him to go wait in the livingroom. I think she tells him that he is acting just like Paolo. Don’t compare me to that imbecile! Elisa tells him not to yell at Lolita. Go wait in the livingroom!
Damien tells her that he is going to wait 10 minutes for her in the garden.
“Te voy a esperar en el jardin solo diez minutos para que vayas!” and ya better have on something pretty, cuz I am not in the mood for games!
He marches out the room and Elisa rushes to get ready.
Casa de Arango
I really don’t care, because I’m really interested in what Damien is doing at the Castanon house. I’m gonna make this really quick.
Florencia: go back to Mexico.
Paolo: You’re dad’s broke, I knocked jailbait up.
Enter Alfonsina
Alfonsina: Florencia, Get out. Paolo, tell me who was on the phone? I know it wasn’t Elisa and I don’t care. Tell me the truth.
Casa De Castanon
You can dry all that hair, put on make-up and get dressed all in ten minutes? Wow!
Here is how it all went down!
Damien was sitting in the foyer tapping his foot. He’s very impatient. Elisa comes to get him. He said that he was waiting in the garden, but Lolita booted him out of it. Elisa wants to know what is so frickin urgent that he threw out every rule of decency and decorum? He wants to know what happened between her and Paolo. She said, you were there…you know. She begins to tear up again as she begins to tell her story. He wants to know what happened before he got there. Paolo wanted to walk her home, she denied him and he became violent. When she turns her back to Damien, he grabs her and accuses her of calling Paolo on the phone. She’s never called Paolo. He says that he doesn’t believe her. Basically he tells her that she gets around. He mentions, Gael and Gabino. She gives him a Louisville Slugger slap to the face and tells him to get the hell out. But he ain’t going no where! She opens the door and tells him to hit the bricks. He yanks her body into his and demands that she promises him that she is not been with Paolo and any other man. Por que?
Her face is in his hands. He is breathing hard….He’s pulling her closer and closer…
Her face is in his hands. He is breathing hard….He’s pulling her closer and closer…
I am dying of jealousy! I am crazy for you!
You don’t know what you’re saying, she whispers.
I’ve been trying to resist you, but I can’t. I love you! I love you as I have never loved another woman!
It takes them a little while to figure out whose mouth goes where, but they finally kiss!
They kissed with the door open. This is not going to be good. I can tell.

I haven't even watched the episode yet (Hubs says the NFL draft trumps everything) but I love the title. I can't wait to see the episode and read your recap.
Hey! The writers threw us a bone!
I kinda liked David Zepeda in that very last scene where he told Elisa he loved her. That's worth saving.
Thanks for giving us a little break, writers. :))

I'm looking forward to the recap. The kiss was great, much better than the passion plays in La Fuerza. But TN writers please give me one episode where I don't have to say 'poor Elisa'. She's got to have a day where things go her way.
Anon207, I was confused in the discussion between Alfonsina and Antonia. Was it Antonia's own decision to lie to Damian about Elisa calling Paolo or was Antonia forced to lie about this?
If Alfonsina did not initially coerce her into lying about Elisa calling, then who did?
Either way, Alfonsina (The Enforcer) made sure that Antonia would keep her mouth shut after her nasty remarks about Antonia having lied to Braulio all these years.
Just wanted to know if it was Antonia doing a bit of self preservation when she lied to Damian and that this was not forced on her by Alfonsina.
Thanks.

I thought at first Alfonsina coerced Antonia into claiming Elisa called for Paolo.
But then Braulio suspected something was up and asked her if Elisa was really the one who called for Paolo, and Antonia told him she wasn't sure who called. That's when Braulio told her to mind her business & not get in the mix b/w Alfie/Elisa/Damian and she told him she was doing what she had to do to save her job, just like he does at the PRO CE SA DO RA.
Then she went to Alfie and told her she that was sure Elisa was NOT the one who called b/c the voice was that of an older female. That's when Alfie told her to keep her mouth shut about if she didn't want Braulio finding out her lies (I'm pretty sure Alfie said this).
Then Alfie stormed over to Paolo and demanded to know who he was REALLY talking to. He claimed Elisa but she told him not to lie.
Another thing about this episode, did Florencia already know they were broke or is this a new revelation for her?

AWESOME TITLE, cynderella!! i agree with everyone else that last scene with the admission of desire by Damian and that kiss are well worth saving..
I dont think Princess Poop knew just how bad her dad's finances were. I think she had heard he was going through hard times, but that is NOT the same as BROKE.
I dont think Princess Poop knew just how bad her dad's finances were. I think she had heard he was going through hard times, but that is NOT the same as BROKE.
But I thought PP and her dad had a conversation that she needed to marry Damian because he comes from money.
I remember thinking that her dad was quite friendly to Alfonsina, not because she is so charming, but as his Plan B. If PP doesn't snag the Prince, then he can work on WrinkleFree.
Anon 207: I loved your What We've Learned list. NOW, if THEY can all just learn to LOCK THEIR DOORS! What is with these moms barging in on their sons? And men going into women's rooms?

Loved last night's episode!! Seems like Dam and Elisa are never in the same scenes. It seemed weird when Fina tried to run her out of town a few nights ago cuz they are never together!
I was very apprehensive about DZ playing the lead after seeing him in Sortilegio but he is bringing it!!! I thought there were total sparks between him and Elisa. I loved that he's smart enough to see Paolo as a threat and rescued Elisa, I love how he consistently defends her reputation and gives her the benefit of the doubt.
Anon207--love your lists! Keep 'em comin!

And does anyone else see a striking resemblance between Kenia and DZ? Is it possible that Ingrid had 2 kids with Rosendo? She sure has a weird relationship with Kenia. No qualms about her seeing her getting busy with Gabbino. Mother of the year!

Mother of the year, indeed -- I love the way she makes Kenia call her Ingrid. And lest we have any doubts about her character...
Kenia: So you're with this Gabino guy coz you're after something?
Ingrid: Like what else are men for?

Include me with y'all who are confused over why Antonia said Elisa was calling Paolo.
Knowing your dad is in financial trouble is different from learning you don't have a penny to your name. I think this was news to Flo.
Finally! Damian realized and told Eliza he is jealous over her and in love with her. He and Elisa seem to have good chemistry.

Katy - I so totally agree how refreshing it is that Damian does not believe all the rumors about Elisa. Unlike some other telenovelas (filmed in Fresno, FL) where any gossip is taken as truth, Damian thinks both rationally and with his heart.
And speaking of leading with his heart, how Ramona came up to Damian and cryptically told him to listen to his heart and he will know the truth. I am glad he took her advise.
Cynderella - Thank you for the recap. It was well worth the wait. :-D
"Was it the glare from the bright, florescent, overhead, medical office lights or the savor of great coffee that contributed to their passion for one another?"
My vote is for the Taster's Choice moment. (some of you are too young to know these commercials: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ozl6fiD9vrw )
Why does Gael even care why PadLupe brought him to Ingrid's den? (rhetoric-I really do know: plot propeller)
Aaawwwww, we got our gratuitous shower scene!? I'll have to watch again tomorrow, and pay attention for the "exiting the shower" scene. LOL I've been busy sewing, got a deadline to meet, and mostly listened. Thank heavens for TV recording devices!
Gladys Kravitz- LOL!!!
"Ya know what would make us all feel better? Take your shirt off. " I laughed so hard at this line that I scared the dog.
"I’m sorry! He is so hot! Send your emails to Sharkbait! " Ditto. LOL
OMG, more LOLs. I can haz paperbag for hyperventilation due to loud guffaws?

Cynderella, I can't believe you said "treasure trail." That was a low blow. Literally.
And that whole Damián-in-the-bedroom-with-the-toallita business...damn it, you girls are turning me into an ASALTACUNAS. I didn't used to be like this. I swear.

Thanks for your recap Cynderella. It was hilarious and I enjoyed your commentary on the male members of the cast.
Glad Elisa had something nice happen to her as cathyx noted. But I won't hold my breath b/c the writers seem to want to pile on the misery on this poor abused girl. They really need to lighten up.
R la Otra "Unlike some other telenovelas (filmed in Fresno, FL)" and LOCK your DOORS - LOL!!!

Oh Gawd..I want to ditto everything that Doris and Blue Lass said. Your musings on Damian and Gabino shirtless were flat-out works of art (like the delicious young men themselves). I think I enjoyed your descriptions even more than the actual views. (oh dear, what does that say about me?) Well anyway,"treasure trail" was a hoot and deserves to become a recurrent theme, much like "pithed".
Thanks Cynderella, I'm nominating this as one of your best. And I'll tell your "jefa" Sylvia so.

Wow, Cynderella, I think you need a cold shower after writing that recap, I know I need one after reading it.
Can't say I feel the same about Gabino, his character colors his looks too much to enjoy. And I can't believe Flo would pick Enrique over Damian. No comparison.
Who is going to walk in on Dam and Elisa kissing? I vote for daddy.

Well, *I* don't plan to send any emails of complaint. THis is wonderful.
Ditto Doris and Blue Lass' comments. I loved this!
Gladys Kravitz! wheee!
Yes, I think whenever Dam is conflicted taking his shirt off will clear his mind. :-)

WOW! I just got thru watching the episode on Hulu+ and then came over to read your absolutely hysterical and wonderful recap. I will be on my way soon for a cold shower....( Hey, I mean DZ and Gab shirtless in the same episode. They would have thrown in Gael, I'd be bathing in ice cubes.)
On a more serious note...anyone else really disturbed by two women both voicing the opinion that Elisa was "asking for it" or "provoked" Paolo. Really???? Alfi, I half expected, but Flo? Not even a flinch at the word rape? I would have liked the ability to reach in a slap both said women as hard as I could. Unforgivable.
So Ingrid is "using" Gab...ok. I have to wrap my head around that one 'cos I can't figure out where he would be an asset in getting what I think she's after, which is Gael's part of the business. She is a piece of work...and lord, I wish she would do something different with her hair. Hate those tendril thingies around her face. Their IRRITATING!
Add me to those who think the next scene we see will NOT be a happy one. That open door just begs for the wrong person to step in...and it's probably going to be the nominee for Worst Father of the Year.

Cynderella,
I don't know where to start--sooo funny! "Telephone Sighting!" and "maybe they had an imaginary phone", so dead on!
Antonia's boobs--I so totally agree! I feel like she's cleaning their house in a swim suit every night.
Loved the "Send your complaints to Sharkbait!". You and all the recappers for A de P could be comedians, you're that funny.
Thank you for a great recap!

Thanks for the laughs, Cynderella! Way funny!
Here are my favorites:
"Thrilla in Manila, Rumble in the Jungle, Beata in La Ermita"
Lolita asking for the 35th time what's wrong (it's the 35th episode)
Oscar Winning Exiting the Shower Scene description
Also Gabino's
no hate mail from us, we may hate male but we love your description
Gladys Kravitz! Would you believe I was describing the real Bewitched GK to my daughter last night?
So many good lines. I loved it!
Looks like Flo is the only one who knocks. Cynder asks "don't they have sex?". Answer: Not in Big Momma's House. She's complained to him about it too.
I am a little (lot) incensed that Damian wants to hear that Elisa has not been with a man. This, as he walks around with static electricity from being with Clingwrap?
Doris - from yesterday: "which further makes me wonder how mammograms go". My almost D-I-L works at an insurance company and recently got a call from a gal whose implant *did* burst during a mammogram. FYI - Insurance did not cover it.
Rosemary la Otra

Speaking of the big boobs, I can't imagine that too many men watch these TNs. Why do they need to show so much cleavage for mostly women viewers? I could very much live without it.

Great recap! Great comments! I, for one, watched this episode twice, since my sleepy husband woke up just as Damian burst into Elisa's room and totally ruined the enjoyment of that uberpassionate kiss(three cheers for chemistry!)--its a little hard to drool when your own Mexican is jealous over your tv crushes! (so unfair-we named our daughter Eva after the hotness of Eva Mendes and Eva Longoria (his request, of course) and I can't get a few novela crushes??
I totally heard La Heffer (love. that.moniker) say to Tonia Two Boobs that to be sure not to mention to Damian her suspicion that that voice on the phone was that of an older woman, else wouldn't it be terrible that Braulio might find out about her indiscretion with Gabino years ago. Preserving your job, yeah, more like your marriage. Before long the truth will come out.
A note about all the shiny, squeaky balloons...as a woman who has breastfed three children (and is on a consecutive three year run due to having two little burritos back to back) I'm jealous. If I had those I'm sorry but I just might show them off like that. (Ok not in real life, but if I were walking down the street and ran into David Zapeda, good God I hope I'd have boobs like that falling out!!!)

cathyx - you'd be surprised how many Latino men watch these telenovelas.
R la O - Eeeeeeew! to the fake boob implant exploding during a mammogram. That experience is uncomfortable enough, as it is. I guess these actresses cannot sleep on their stomachs, either.

in los avances, it appears that Carmeany and the Heffer are having a heart-to-heart at the request of Carmeany.
My thought initially was that she was going to tell La Heffer what Blanca was going to tell her, but now I'm leaning more to them teaming up against Elisa. I find myself wondering:
Are they really interrupted in the midst of the besos? Or does he stop himself so he can go break up with the Flowrap? You know, do it proper? (Cuz if he does that's just hotter)
Is Carmina going to tell Old hag what Blanca was going to tell her? Or are they just going to team up against Elisa? Carmina is preoccupied with making Elisa unhappy. Being with Damian would make Elisa happy, so who better to team up with but the Mother of Hatred herself to make sure that doesn't happen, or at least has major roadblocks (it is, after all, rather early in this novela for Elisa to be happy. I do think the writers were simply throwing us a bone).
Oh, BTW My assumption with Ingrid going in alone before letting Gabino in and putting out the "No Molestar" sign was to make sure Kenia wasn't there.

Dam kissed Elisa and confessed his jealousy and love. Telenovela rules would mandate that for this three minutes of happiness, Elisa must suffer 3x more for the next week or two. I am holding out hope for her to morph into LCTR and kick pompis.
Anon207...thanks so much for your reply re Alfonsina and Antonia and their conversation.

I'll not be surprised if Carmeani tells Alfi that Elisa is Rosendo's child, either that or if daddy walks in on their kissing, he tells them. That will be what breaks them up. Then Damian will marry Flo and be unhappily married forever, or until she dies.
awesome snarky recap, Cynderella! i won't bother mentioning my favs because i would be repeating the whole thing...
rosemary... WrinkleFree.. have to remember that one!
haven't really seen that much of DZ leading, except last few eps of LFDD but here he is rockin!! and with great chemistry with AB!
daisynjay,
DZ and Gab shirtless in the same episode. They would have thrown in Gael, I'd be bathing in ice cubes.
ITA!! i have lost count of x times i have seen that first Gael shirtless scene... but keep 'em coming producers!!

about the phones... didn't padre Lupe have a wireless phone in his hand when he got the call from Damian about Blanca's death?
and they repeated part of the Gael/Padre scene from end of thursday but changed the scenario of the last half of the scene.. interesting. on thursday the whole thing was at table, on friday they moved to living room before second half.

Cynderella, what a talented writer you are! OUTSTANDING job! Every line was a favorite, but for the sake of brevity, I’ve selected a few of the best!
* “Surrounded by volumes of text books, and breath taking views of framed, licenses to practice medicine, the sexaphones wail in the background.”
* “The frazzled priest is drinking a glass of communion wine”
* “The two contenders were just in the “Thrilla in Manilla”, the “Rumble in the Jungle”, the “Beata in La Ermita”! (That was funny enough for the “accidental novela watcher” my husband, to get a laugh!
“Sitting uncomfortably in his red, paisley, Hugh Heffner, smoking jacket, he grunts to the affirmative.”
Cynderella, you have a true talent for ironic wit.....thanks for sharing with us!
Katy: “I was very apprehensive about DZ playing the lead after seeing him in Sortilegio but he is bringing it!!!” I completely agree. And for those of us who are older and wiser (ha!) his character’s goodness, strength and just plain smarts is quite appealing as well as his abilities in the “Oscar Winning Exiting the Shower Scene.”
R-la-O: “I am a little (lot) incensed that Damian wants to hear that Elisa has not been with a man.” I think Damian is just lost from the set of Amor Real! He needs to find his way back and quickly!

Or maybe Tropicana will bust them, giving her some dirt to take to Fina. Maybe that's why they're talking in the avances: a collaboration between two villains after NemHo brings her a bone. I think it's funny in these TNs how the bad guys always need "help". Like Antonio needing Elvira to help him get Camila in el Tal or Carmina "helping" Paolo get Elisa. And I thought it hilarious that Gabino who is, arguably, a respected business man would resort to a Butch Cassidy hold up to "help" Tropicana, God knows why!!!

I agree, Katy. How do sleazels have such faith in other sleazels? We are often left thinking "You trust HER?". Given I've only watched a couple of tn's I must say the evil pairing that stands out to me was Fina and Blanca in CME. My favorite is Rennie and Rita in El Tal.
At least Yenny did the right thing and turned it back on Antonio and Lu.

Great stuff.
I don't think Clingwrap had the tiniest clue that her family's stony broke. It is certainly looking as though Guido's Plan B needs to be deployed, but I don't think he deserves AlphaBitch.
Since this is still in production I dearly hope that there is a flashback sometime down the road demonstrating exactly how AlphaBitch and Sra Kravitz destroyed Elisa's rep. How is that even possible when she has done exactly nada to deserve it?
As for the eventual horror over incest because Rosendo was her father, that's easy enough to blow a hole through. Let's hope Damian is cool-headed enough to do that.

Thanks everyone for your comments. I thought I'd get fired after lusting after Gabino! He is a honey! I'm glad I still in the club! I think that Ingrid is using Gabino to find about the companies assets and finances. If he's as high up as they make him out to be, he could be useful to get her into certain departments. She has to get info on her sons potential inheritance.
Maybe Elisa & Damien won't get caught! In the advances it looks like they're outside making a secret commitment to each other. They have time to lay their hands on each others hearts. Maybe! But that would mean she wouldn't get to cry in episode 36. We know that she is contractually obligated to cry in every single episode. Lol
Cynderella:
You are SO still in the club, girl. Lusting after a bad guy is allowed, if he's hot enough. :) Thanks for the wonderfully funny recap.
I agree that Ingrid was checking if Kenia was hanging out in her room before letting Gabino in. The two of them look like they are having a LOT of fun in the bedroom. More power to them. Someone should be having fun in this tn.
I was also sickened by Flor and Alfie saying Elisa was asking to be raped.
This is how I see the Tonia lie happening: Paolo tells Alfie Elisa called him to set the meeting time and place. Alfie calls Tonia into the room. "Tonia, Paolo says Elisa called him. Is that true?" (While both Alfie and Paolo give her the intense stink eye.) Tonia, knowing which answer will make these two happy, confirms it. (Alfie wants it to be true, and Paolo needs her to confirm it.) Then Alfie drags Tonia to Damian to make her confirm it to him.
Then we all see what happened. Alfie learns Paolo lied to her, and Tonia confirmed a lie, but she doesn't care. Alfie is happy to keep the lie going, and threatens Tonia's and Brau's job to keep it that way. In the previews it seems like she has learned from Paolo who told him where Elisa would be (Carmeany) and is teaming up with her to make Elisa's life even mroe hellish (oh, goody!).
Loved the kiss at the end. But our boy is going to have to learn that his mother has many people under her thumb and they will lie to his face, even if his mother isn't there, to protect themselves and their jobs. He has to stick to his gut feelings about Elisa and not believe anything said about her, unless it comes from Padre, Gael, Lucio, Lolita, Ramona or Paloma. The previews show him breaking up with Flor (woohoo!), or at least trying to.

The previews show him breaking up with Flor (woohoo!), or at least trying to.
Cynderella, this is exquisite. Sharing your admiration of Gabino's assets was bold, refreshing, and hilarious. I doubt that Sylvia will agonize over any complaints.
As Vivi says:
"Lusting after a bad guy (here I would add... or girl) is allowed, if he's (or she's) hot enough."
In that vein... cathyx:
"...or until she dies."
NOOOOO!
If Damien learns that Elisa is his sister, I don't think that he will be allowed to believe that deception for very long. Padre Lupe, Lolita, Ramona, Lucio, Dr. Tovar, and for that matter, Alfonsina herself will not let that hoax prevail. Besides I don't think the writers would allow that emotional damage accumulate and fester for our young couple.

I am requesting that if Elisa must cry for the 36th time on Day 36, can she please not watch herself crying in the mirror?
Oooh good point, Carlos. Maybe that will be the impetus for Padre Lupe, Lolita, Ramona, Lucio, Dr. Tovar, ANYONE who knows anything to say something.
Let's take bets on whether she cries in episode 36! I'm betting that well at least get a sniffle. My girl never let's me down.
I doubt if any sane people will get the opportunity to explode the myth of Rosendo's fecundity, because it will be a BIG SECRET. The baddies will use it to justify their continued badness, but only to themselves.
Of course I'm usually wrong.

Hey what's with the hundreds of emails in my inbox insisting that Cynderella get a promotion and double her salary? Unfortunately $0 x 2 still equals $0. Sorry about that Empress Cynderella, but at least you got the promotion.
Not to worry about lusting after Gabino. Actually, it is required according to your job description. Treasure trail...Snort!!
Awesome recap! And I'm not just saying that because I'm from California. Honestly I was laughing from beginning to end. I think all my favorite lines have already been mentioned, but you were really on fire for this one.
At least Elisa and Dam got happiness from Friday and throughout the weekend until the anvils drop on Monday.

Odds are she *will* cry, BUT I am going to bet that she will have one day of blissful ignorance and THEN we will have a nice DOUBLE cry in Episode 37.
Oh, GREAT. I had already decided to FF through all the crying in my next episode -- looks like it'll be an easy recap. :)
