Abismo de pasión #50 5/18/12: Shotgun Wedding Bells are Ringing
Casa de Castanon-Home Office
Giddy Carmina is sitting in Agosto’s office, reading a very steamy love letter, by candlelight. It’s from Paolo, her Italian lover. She hears the front door close and quickly hides the letter behind her back. Agosto, who is sporting a very dapper straw hat high on his head, marches in and sees the frightened look on Carmina’s face. He asks what she’s doing. Nada, she answers nervously. Why are you hiding what you are reading? She tries to resist. Let me have it! What are you reading? Let me see it! He quickly overpowers her and tears the flimsy paper from her grasp. His angry lips twitch as he turns away from her to read. Carmina watches and looks sick. Furiously, he turns back to face his wife. What in the devil is this? He demands to know who sent the letter! He’s waiting for an explanation. She stalls by rubbing her shoulder and wincing. She will have to think quick! She’ll need something original! It’s not hers, she says. The letter belongs to Elisa. ORIGINAL! I stressed ORIGINAL! She goes on to say that a strange man delivered the envelope. She thinks Paolo sent the letter. Agosto doubts it (Shhhhhh everyone…Agosto is thinking). Elisa’s not interested in Paolo. Elisa has told me many times that that she’s not interested in him (Just a little more thinking, Agosto. You can do it! Look at the obvious!) Oh yeah! Carmina says, it totally slipped my mind! It could be from Damien. They have been seeing each other lately. Where’s Elisa? She went to see Lucio. Agosto marches out of the house to find his daughter. Carmina exhales and sinks her forehead into her hand.
Casa de KeniaKenia pleads with Gael to forgive her. She grabs his hand as he turns to leave and pulls him back. I’m your sister! I’m your sister! I lied because of Ingrid! Gael looks both hurt and confused. She made me promised not to reveal myself so that she can watch your movements. He asks why. She doesn’t regret abandoning you. She wants to take advantage of you! That story makes no sense. I’m just a poor devil. How can she take advantage of someone with nothing? She tells him that he has her. She repeats that she’s his sister and touches his face. Quien es mi sperm donor? Who is my father? Do you know who my father is? Tell me! She says she doesn’t know his name. Your father is Forest Lawn fertilizer, like mine! Forget about me Kenia. I’m getting the hell out of this town. Gael storms out! She runs after him! As she hurries past her furniture, I find myself coveting her apartment. IKEA? Pier One? Back to the story! She’s begging him to listen to her! Gael ignores his distraught sister, unties his horse and rides off into the night. Kenia, while screaming after Gael, does not notice that Gabby has been observing this tragic scene from a distance. He slowly saunters up the street. I found you, he says to himself. She runs back into the house and slams the door! Looks like it’s gonna be a romantic night for Gabby, he’s carrying wine and a rolled up take-out bag under his armpit.
Snack Cart
Horacio is buying some snacks when his stalker (I mean Lolita) surprises him. “Hola Horacio,” she says. Horacio, wearing a dirty wife-beater, munches on a churro. More food makes it on his shirt than in his mouth. He has no manners and eats like a pig. Gosh, after watching this scene, it’s easy to see why she’s so attracted to him. She asks if he’d like to walk with her. Maybe next week? She thought that he’d want to carry her bag of milk. What the hell is that code for? That was mighty forward of her. What a tramp! Oh!…you want me to carry you milk (wink wink). He tries to grab the bag. If I have to tell you to carry my milk, I don’t want you to feel obligated. I’m not desperate. She is such a tease. He rolls his eyes. Women! He heads off in the opposite direction. Elisa sees Lolita and asks who she was talking to. Lolita tells her it’s her friend, Horacio. I was trying to get him to carry my milk, but he didn’t get the hint. I haven’t had my milk carried since Braulio carried it. You have to be very direct with men. Next time put your boobies in his face, says Elisa, who was still walking on clouds from kissing Dam Fine. People in love make me sick. I want to punch her. They walk off arm and arm together.
Casa de Arango-Dinner TableTonia tells Paolo that he has a telephone call. He hurries from the table and into the office. Alfonsina asks who’s on the phone. Tonia tells her that it’s the same woman that calls a lot and won’t leave her name.
Casa de Arango-Home OfficePaolo asks Carmina if she got his letter. Yeppers, she says, but if anyone asks, you wrote it to Elisa, OK? Yes, but why Elisa? If you don’t say the letter was meant for Elisa, you’ll lose me. She says that she will explain later and hangs up. He does not see Alfonsina waiting at the door. Alfonsina enters the room and wants to know who was on the phone. He says it was Sabrina. Estas seguro? Of course I’m sure. He dashes out of the room.
Casa de Don Lucio
Lucio opens the door. Agosto, still wearing his dapper straw fedora hat barges in! I’m looking for Elisa! She’s not here! Agosto is freaking out. She invented that story to go out with someone! Lucio tells him to relax. She didn’t lie. She was there, but she left. Lucio asks Agosto what’s up? What’s bothering you? Agosto gives him the letter. Lucio reads the letter. Agosto tells him that Elisa’s following in her mother’s steps. She can’t help it, it’s in her blood. Don Lucio tells him not to talk about Elisa in that manner in front of him. She’s not the women that you think she is. Open your eyes! Agosto charges out of the door. Lucio looks shocked.
Casa de Mickey and MalloryStanding at the dinner table, Ingrid is lighting candles in preparation for her romantic dinner with Gabby. She’s wearing the lovely necklace Gabby gave her. Gabby strolls in, carrying a completely different take-out bag, and kicks the door closed. He tells Ingrid that he just saw her daughter, the thief. She’s still in La Ermita. Ingrid looks pleased (there will definitely be no big blue NERF balls for him tonight).
Casa de Arango-Foyer
Maru and Damien are standing in the foyer, discussing Ingrid by candlelight. Maru tells Damien that the secretary has been absent from work for two days. They can’t find some urgent paperwork that Ingrid was working on. Damien tells her that when Ingrid returns, they will ask her where she put it. Maru says that she went to Ingrid’s hotel and she left a few days ago. No one knows where she is or when she will return. After Maru leaves, Alfonsina enters the room and asks why Maru stopped by. He tells her that Ingrid has been AWOL from work for two day. They can’t find some paperwork. Alfonsina acts as if she’s vaguely familiar with Ingrid. Was that the woman who came to see you the other day? She calls her irresponsible for leaving and not telling anyone. Why are you so worried about a secretary? Damien tells his mother that Ingrid is more than a secretary.
Casa de Castanon-FoyerCarmina is nonchalantly sitting on a couch, rubbing her feet in the foyer, when Agosto returns. She asks where he’s been. Searching for Elisa. He tells her that he went to Don Lucio’s house. Carmina tells him that Elisa came home with Lolita a while ago. He starts to go find her. Carmina tells him to find out who wrote the letter first. For one millisecond, a suspicious look flashes across his face. But, alas, it was only fleeting. Carmina says that if he goes to her now, Elisa will only lie about it. They’ll wait until the morning to investigate this. He agrees.
Iglesia
Damien tells Lupe that Ingrid has disappeared and no one has seen her. He’s suspicious because she wanted to get closer to Gael. It’s just strange that she’s been missing for two days. Why do you care so much about her? She’s Gael’s mother. Gael walks in. Akward! Damien greets Gael and backs out of the room (he doesn’t want to get shanked in the back at the church). Gael wants to know why Damien was there. Lupe tells Gael that his mother is missing and Damien is worried about her. Don’t you care that your mother is missing? No. Gael rubs his pretty hair into a strange page boy, bobbish-like do and walks towards the door. He’s tired. He has to give Agosto his notice. So you’re still gonna leave? Yeppers. Padre wants to speak to Kenia. Gael tells him not to worry. He’s leaving town alone. Kenia is just as much of a liar as Ingrid.
Unknown AreaGabby slams Kenia, by the neck, into a wall. She yells, “Sueltame”! One more time, where is the money that you stole from your mother? She’s terrified. Hablar! He is turning out to be the best novio EVER! Commercial.
Casa de ArangoAgosto shows his arch enemy the letter. Does Alfonsina recognize the handwriting? Which Arango should he shoot? Damien? Paolo? Scruffy the dog? Help a brotha out! She tells him that Damien didn’t write the letter. It’s not her son’s handwriting. Damn it! Agosto looks disappointed. “I’ve been fanaticizing about shooting that pretty boy! Are you absolutely certain?” I don’t think it’s Paolo’s but I’ll ask him. “Well, I’d been hoping to wack a blood Arango, but if I have to settle for Paolo…OK”. Agosto wants to kill…I mean speak with Paolo immediately. Alfosina says that she will talk to him alone, first. She’ll keep the letter and humiliate Paolo with it and get back to him when she knows more.
Dr. Whipped’s ClinicPaloma is bummed. Elated, Elisa floats in and kisses her. “What’s wrong?” Elisa sees fallen Paloma’s countenance. My grandma knows about the kissident in Gael’s bedroom. She smacked the hell out of me and told me that I was a disappointment. Basically, Elisa says Ramona had a right to be mad. Yeah, but she didn’t have to hit me. She’s never hit me before. Elisa tries to cheer her up. She sits on Paloma’s desk. I have great news! Dam Fine and I are so totally dating now! At first, I must say, it so was hard for me to choose between Gael, (the total love of your FREAKING LIFE), and Damien. Buutttttttt! Dam Fine is hot and he’s so stinking rich; I chose him” Tears slide down Paloma’s face. People in love make her sick too. Elisa tells her that one day she’ll find love too. Stuff like that doesn’t happen to me, says Paloma. It never will because Gael is the stupidest man in the world. Side note: if I am ever at the point where I am about to slit my wrists. Please….for the love of all that is good…don’t send sad or happy Elisa over to cheer me up.
Casa de Arango
Alfonsina is grilling Paolo like a BK Whopper. Answer me Paolo! Did you or did you not send this letter to Elisa? Paolo says he wrote the letter. They hooked up. He wants to know how she got it. I pay the bills! I ask the questions! Is it true what you wrote in the letter? Are you are in love with Elisa? Or is it a lie? Yeah, I’m in love with her.
IglesiaRamona, also wearing an incredibly stylish straw hat, has come to ask Father (perfect hair) Lupe about the kissident with Gael. She wants to know why he didn’t tell her. Lupe wants to know who told her. Paloma. He invites her to sit down. She tells Lupe that her granddaughter is crazy for Gael. She feels like she didn’t do a good job. Lupe tells her that she is being too hard on herself and Paloma. Young people make mistakes. Lupe tells Ramona that she won’t have to worry for long because Gael is about to leave La Ermita. Ramona is shocked.
Green Castanon FieldsThe field hands, all dressed in their white Sunday best, are walking down a dirt road. Once again, all thirty women choose to pick from the exact same bush, which is conveniently located directly in front of the main camera. Gael tells Agosto that he’s leaving. Agosto wants to know why. Well, I want a job with an opportunity for advancement. He thanks Agosto for giving him a chance. Agosto says that there is no reason to thank him. He wants to know if it’s because of Elisa’s project. Is it about Kenia? Gael says that Kenia turned out to be a disappointment. He is so bummed. He thanks Agosto for giving him a chance. He and Father Lupe made him a man. He’s quitting immediately. They hug. Hasta luego.
Casa de Mickey and Mallory Ingrid is sitting at the table, wearing a chaste pink Alice the waitress uniform, when Gaby shoves frightened Kenia through the door. Hola Kenia, says her mother. Did you think you could trick me?
Procesadora-Damien’s Office
Damien is carrying the blue and white contract folder. I THINK he tells Braulio that he will be sending him to train or to work on Elisa’s property, he will have to be discreet. Braulio tells him that sooner or later Gabby will find out about it. Once Gabby finds out, Alfonsina will know. Damien says, then we’ll try to keep it a secret as long as we can. Braulio congratulates him on his new relationship with Elisa. He smiles. People in love….did I mention they make me sick?
Casa de Costanon-Living RoomCarmina tells Agosto that they have visitors and leads him into the parlor. Paolo and Alfonsina are sitting on the couch. Damn it! If I would have known Paolo was here, I would have grabbed my sawed-off on the way in. Alfonsina dramatically lifts up the letter and announces that the person who wrote it is Paolo. She then holds the letter out to Agosto. He snatches it from her and asks Paolo if what he wrote in the letter was true. Did it happen? Si. Paolo nervously clears his throat. Elisa might deny it, but it’s all true. Agosto turns his back to his guests as if he’s looking for a makeshift weapon. Alfonsina tells Agosto that Paolo wants to marry Elisa. Everyone is shocked (including Paolo). Commercial.
Back to the Casa de Costanon-Living RoomPaolo’s muscles continue to strain against his shirt. Shhhh! Agosto is thinking again. We must not judge him. We have to support him. He finds it strange that Alfonsina wants to arrange a marriage between his daughter and this moron. Alfonsina defends the Landucci honor. She’s known them for years and they are a good family. Pablo loves her. Elisa’s not interested in marrying someone like him, says Agosto. Alfonsina, says the letter says otherwise. Carmina agrees with Alfonsina. Paolo is visibly appalled. Agosto doesn’t want to force her to marry that barbarian. Alfonsina says that he must convince her to do so. He thanks Alfonsina for her advice, but says that it’s not necessary. Alfonsina tells him that he can’t afford to have his reputation damaged again. Paolo and Alfonsina leave. Carmina wants to know what Agosto thinks. She tells him the wedding is a good idea. Agosto walks out of the room. Out of the shadows Lolita, having just heard the conversation, appears with a sick look on her face.
Casa de Arango-Front YardPaolo’s shirt is still doing a great job of clinging to all of his muscles. He is pissed because Alfonsina offered his hand in marriage without discussing it with him first. Alfonsina tells him that it doesn’t matter what he thinks. She hops in the back of the SUV and he drives them away.
Casa de Mickey and MalloryAnswer me! What have you done with my money? Ingrid really wants those Benjamins! She accuses her daughter of sneaking into her hotel room and stealing the check. Kenia insists that she did not take the money. Kenia says it could have been your idiot boyfriend. Right then, Gabby swaggers in and tosses down Kenia’s suitcase. He’s flipped her house! He shoves Kenia’s Bank of Merida statements into her face. When her mother grabs the statements, Kenia lunges for them. Ingrids smacks her in the face; Kenia yelps and Gabby pulls her away from her mother. Gabby smiles. Suddenly, his jeans got a little tighter. He’s just found a soul mate that’s just as psychotic as he is and it is turning him on. While Kenia holds her face, Ingrid inspects the papers. Ingrid says this is proof that Kenia robbed her. Kenia tells her mother that she can have the money. It doesn’t matter. Kenia attempts to leave; Gabby yanks her back by her hair. They are all going to stay together.
Dead Weeds of Elisa CastanonThank goodness! Someone finally sent an official memo to the extras and explained that spreading out across the field will be more realistic. Paragraph one: forty people cannot pick one weed. Paragraph two: wear some jeans and t-shirts. No one will believe that field hands dress in their white Sunday best. Gael arrives on horseback. He lacks side burns and that disturbs me. He has come to tell Lucio that he’s leaving. He gives Don Lucio the green house estimates, but feels it’s a waste now that Damien involved. Lucio says that it’s a shame that he’s leaving since the whole thing was his idea. Don Lucio wants to know why he’s doesn’t give the papers to Elisa. Cuz Elisa’s in love with Damien and she doesn’t love me. He gets on his horse and leaves. Side note: Everyone involved with the project appears to be working in Elisa’s fields except Scarlett (I mean Elisa) who, only last week, vowed to clear the fields by hand. “As God is my witness!” she declared to the sky as she tore at the weeds with her bare hands. That was last week. How quickly she forgot now that she has that sweet contract. Oh Well fiddle dee dee!
Casa de Castanon-Foyer
Elisa returns from cheering Paloma up. Lolita greets her at the door and tries to warn her of the bomb that about to drop. Damien’s crazy mother and the child molester were here! Lolita’s talking quick, but not quick enough! Carmina hobbles out and tells Elisa that her father wants to see her in the office. Elisa leaves. Lolita tells Carmina that what their planning is crazy. Carmina tells Lolita to get her butt in the kitchen. The beans are burning. Lolita leaves. Carmina, wearing bedazzled jeans, hobbles off to eavesdrop at the office door.
Casa de Castanon-Home OfficeAgosto informs Elisa that the dress is ready, the judge is hired, they bought the cake and she’s getting hitched in the morning. Who’s the groom? Your lover, the rapist/pedofile, Paolo. He’s an excellent catch. Oh, hell no, I’m not! He ain’t my lover and I’m not going back to Dr. Whipped to take another virtue test. You can kiss my behind. I don’t even like him. He disgusts me. Agosto shows her the letter. He knows they’ve had sex. She grabs it and frantically reads. She says that she doesn’t care what he thinks. Elisa vows that she will not marry that idiot. He tells her that she has to marry him to protect her reputation. She storms out. He follows her out to the foyer. Carmina tells Elisa that she should lucky that Paolo wants to marry her. Elisa turns around and tells them Paolo got Kenia preggers. She tells them that the pregnancy test belonged to Kenia, not to her or Florencia. Paolo knocked up a minor and hid in La Ermita so he wouldn’t have to take responsibility. For once both Agosto and Carmina are miraculously stunned into silence. Elisa tells them that she’s in love with Damien Arango. Accept it daddy! After hearing that, he tells her that now, more than ever, it is imperative that marries Paolo. Primero…Muerto! She storms out of the foyer, without doubt, to sob in Lolita’s arms, but this time, I don’t care! She did a good job. She was great. Her father calls her name. Commercial.
Casa de Mickey and MalloryKenia writes her mother a pink check and hands it to her. She’s paid her back every cent. Ingrid can cash the check in the morning. Ingrid tells Kenia that she has to stay there until the morning. She begs her Ingrid to trust her. I’m your daughter! I wouldn’t trust you even if you told me that I was your mother and you had video proving that I gave birth to you! Ingrid tells Kenia to calm down and go to the guest room. Gabby will bring in her luggage. Gabby, gushing with love, tells Kenia to listen to her mother. His belt buckled jumped. He wants to get naked. Kenia stomps off like a chastised five-year old. He looks at Ingrid. Where have you been all my life? He mentally makes plans to introduce her to his mother and his kids (which is a problem since his kids are not aware that he is their father).
Casa de Kravitz-Whipped (less Dr. Whipped)Mrs. Kravitz (Begonia) is sitting on the couch talking on the phone in the living room when Enrique comes home. She’s telling someone named Rosita that her husband was messing with the fortune teller’s granddaughter. He deliberately slams the door in order to get her attention. She quickly ends the call. You’re putting our family business out on the block, ma? She says that she’d rather spread the news than have someone else do it. You’re telling everyone that dad is hiding the baloney pony (thank you Rick Dugerman) with Paloma? Why are you ruining that girl’s reputation? Dad swore to me that the Paloma was never his lover. Mrs. Kravitz is upset that Enrique is on his father’s side. He tells her, that he is not on either side. She’s a friend of Elisa, who is the daughter of Estefania. What did I expect? He sits beside her on the couch and chides her for gossiping. The phone rings and she answers it. It’s Alfonsina. She looks at her son. Excuse me! This gossip’s not gonna spread itself. Enrique leaves.
Witch Mountain-Kitchen Table
Ramona is eating. Paloma asks her grandmother to forgive her. Paloma knows that she tried to get Gael’s attention the wrong way. She asks her grandmother for a hug. Abuela gives her one, and then we had to sit through several moments of mumbo jumbo about relaxation.
Casa de CastanonSTOP THE PRESSES! Elisa. Is. Not. Crying. Darn it! Now I have to admit that I was wrrr...I was mistak…I was not corr….Let’s all agree that she was not sobbing in her room today. She’s too pissed to cry; she’s disgusted. Elisa tells Lolita that can’t believe her father agreed that she should marry Paolo. Lolita says Alfonsina is behind this because she doesn’t want Damien and Elisa to be together. She touches her amulet, sits down on her bed and touches some plastic flowers. She tells Lolita that Gael is leaving La Ermita.
Church-Gael’s BedroomGael is sitting on the edge of his bed. His head is down, shoulders bowed and his lips look unusually deflated. Hopefully, no one will send Elisa over to cheer him up. If you do, hide the razors and the guns. Padre Lupe comes in. He thought the Gael had left without saying goodbye. Gael tells him that he’s still leaving in the morning. He asks Gael if he is worried about his mother. Shouldn’t he look for her? Gael tells him that he wouldn’t know where to begin. Padre thinks that Gabby may be behind the disappearance.
Casa de Mickey and MalloryGabino is back. Ingrid is lounging around in her Alice waitress uniform. Half of her collar has been up for the entire episode and I won't be able to concentrate until someone puts it down. Ingrid tells him that Kenia is in the bedroom. Ingrid says Kenia is stressing her out. She wants her out of the house. Kenia gives her the heebeegeebees; she finds Kenia irritating. Gabby tells Ingrid that Kenia has to stay with them for a little while. He tells Gabby that she’s a disorganized person. Damien is looking for his papers. Also, Kenia is a loose cannon. Kenia comes out and tells Gabby that her mother knows perfectly well who and where her son is. Kenia will tell him everything he wants to know. Ingrid tells Kenia to shut up. Gabby tells Ingrid to shut up. He is so manly when he takes charge. Kenia tells him that she will tell him everything about her brother if he lets her go.
Casa de ArangoDamien eavesdrops behind a pillar on conversation between his mother and Mrs. Kravitz. Alfonsina tells Mrs. Kravitz about Paolo's letter. Mrs. Kravitz is concerned that this will hurt Sabrina. Elisa affects us all dear Mrs. Kravitz. Damien steps out of the shadows. Alfonsina tells him that Elisa will marry Paolo in the morning. Damien is shocked.

Ah, my favorite standup comedienne...you hit another home run kid.
Love the recurrent theme of how depressing In Love People can be to their dejected friends. Yes! truly irritating that they flaunt their abundant glorious happiness when your own love life is in the tank.
Lots of funny lines. Just a few of which are:
"Your father is Forest Lawn fertilizer like mine."
Apartment envy...IKEA Pier One? (Yes, I too admit to apartment and furniture envy Cynde. Part of the reason I stopped watching el Talisman was because of suffering serious kitchen envy. Damn...thos granite countertops and top of the line fixtures! Almost worse than hanging around a bubbly in-love Elisa.
"kissident" (great one)
"grilling Paolo like a BK Whopper (damnit, now you've made me hungry. And I just had breakfast)
[Gael] "his lips look unusually deflated" (Yikes, you and Gael's lips! I know you prefer Gabino's thin and hungry lips, curling with hot desire, only superseded by his rising belt buckle but c'mon Cynderella, give Gael a break will ya.
Just a fabulous way to start the day m'dear. You are one funny lady.

Cynderella, SNL needs some new writers. Apply now!! You'd be a shoe-in. This was utterly fantastic!
"(Shhhhhh everyone…Agosto is thinking"
"Please….for the love of all that is good…don’t send sad or happy Elisa over to cheer me up"
"STOP THE PRESSES! Elisa. Is. Not. Crying."

What a convoluted mess last night. Don't know about anyone else, but I was appalled at the whole marriage arranging crap going on last night. Did we go thru a time warp into the 19th century? Assgusto is stupid enough to go with any suggestion someone comes up with since it hurts too much to think. (Gees, the man's face actually strains.) Alfi could have said to marry Elisa to Gino the dog-face boy or ship her to a nunnery and he would have gone along with it. They actually succeeded in making me feel sorry for Paolo. Bet he wishes he had left with Flo and Queeddooo now.
And "saving" Elisa's reputation based on a letter--excuse me, not unless you plan to post said letter in the next issue of the La Ermita Daily Tattler. The poor girl is already regarded as a Ho in town, just rip the stupid letter up! What the hell did Steff see in this dweeb?
Meanwhile Mr. WhatElseCanWeDumpOnThisGuy is making his rounds of farewells, and I had to keep reminding myself (tissues handy) that no way were they sending this guy off. (THough I was beginning to wonder if they would and he'd come back all successful. That actually made me think not a bad plot device.)
Some friend Alfi is - she fails to tell Begone that Paolo is a skank and is pitying poor Sabrina for not hooking up with him. Between those two and Irritating, who I can't even phathom what Gab sees in her (except the boobs and there's plenty of those in town), all us mothers should sign a petition to have them thrown out of the mother of the year competition (nice lake with anvil ankle bracelets should do it).
So the previews look like Dam maybe takes a stupid pill again and maybe leaps to a wrong conclusion? Or will Gael ride in to save the day and be the one to "offer his services" and marry Elisa instead of Paolo? Monday does look like another holy mess...but that's why we watch.

Cyn: Thanks - great recap of an annoying episode.
The Elisa character is developing. She is becoming stronger and actually fighting Carmina and Agosto. As she said - marry Paolo - over my dead body. It's about time this girl moved out of the house and into her own place.
As far as Damian is concerned, if he believes the lies about Elisa, then so long to him, too. Not likely to happen. Only a demented middle-aged man who is looking for the worst in his alleged daughter would believe the words in a letter that are not addressed to Elisa and which is not signed.
Begoñia, I'd like to see you take a trip and not return.
Kenia looked very frightened of her mother. She could have info about other victims. It seems that Gabino is interested in what she has to say - I'm expecint Ingrid to hit her over the head from behind.

Oh, gee, aren't we getting a little repetitive? I'm kind of glad I missed this one! Oh, right, and now that they've sworn their undying love for each other and sworn to fight for their love against all odds, Damián is going to start to believe the Elisa liars again? I hope not, otherwise we are just stuck in Groundhog Day.
Thanks much Cynderella! I enjoy your enthusiasm (and your Gabino crush). I had a hard time reading the story though - how frustrating!

Audrey, what's frustrating about it? I can update it. I would like others to enjoy it and it's still early enough.
Oh no, Cynderella. You're not frustrating at all!!! The story is!This is one TN you need a chill pill after watching. (I still say Doc Tovar should change his specialitty to psychiarty.)
You sounded a little mad writing this recap. But I understand if you were, because I was mad watching it too.
That was funny that you mentioned Ingrid's dress looking like a waitress uniform. I thought the same thing when I was watching it. And I wondered why she wasn't sporting something sexier like she usually does.
In the avances, Gael and Elisa are kissing, and Damian walks in on them. So of course, Damian will believe all the lies about her. Like others said, rinse and repeat.

Stuff we learned in this episode:
Alfonsina & Agusto learn Paolo "wrote" a lustful letter to "Elisa" after a hot "hookup."
Paolo learns he's about to be forced to marry Elisa.
Lolita learns Augusto & Alfonsina plan to force Elisa into marriage with Paolo.
Kenia learns Irritat-ING would do anything including killing her for money.
Enrique learned Begoña will even gossip about herself!
Augusto learned he can kiss Elisa's @$$ when it comes to the marriage plans.
Augusto learned Kenia is not a sweet innocent young thing.
Augusto & Carmina learned why Paolo really is in La Ermita.
Damian learned Elisa is to marry Paolo in the morning.
Avance:
Paolo is about to re-learn the contours of Damian's fist.
OBSERVATION: Um Augusto...if being the sluttiest slut who ever slutted is in Elisa's blood, what makes you think marriage is the cure? It didn't cure Estefania, did it? And why don't you suspect your wife, since she has the same slutty blood? And if slut in in the blood, why would you want to force Elisa into a marriage that would produce slutty children? You don't think much, do you?

I think Gambino has pretty full lips. What bugs me is that they always look like he's wearing pink lipstick. I prefer Gambino because he is delicious.

Daisynjay: thanks. Damien and the wrong conclusion. If you walked into a room, and your man's lips were on another woman. Would you believe your lying eyes OR would you give him the benefit of the doubt? :-) Or would you take his to the Maury Show for a lie detector test?
Cynderella, I swear you are one of the funniest, most observant recappers ever. You always pick up the goofiest details. For example, "Gael rubs his pretty hair into a strange page boy, bobbish-like do and walks towards the door." I was kind of obsessing about his do too, thinking what happened to his hair? Maybe because he's always wearing a hat I never noticed the Prince Valiant thing going on. And Ingrid's collar, yep that was bugging me too.
I like Kenia's home furnishings too. (Don't laugh at me, but I checked and there *is* a Pier One in Merida!)
"Kissident", snort!
"Mickey and Mallory", double snort!
daisynjay, your comment about Paolo probably wishing he'd left La Ermita is spot on. But that guy can't stay out of trouble no matter where he is.
Cynderella, this episode what definitely annoying, but your hilarious recap is anything but. It made my morning. I agree, you should be writing for SNL. Thanks Amiga!
I am worried for Kenia. I'm getting the feeling she is out of her league.

Pasofino: same question. Damien is not jumping to the wrong confusion if he is given certain "facts". 1. Paolo did tell everyone that he was hooking up with Elisa. That is a fact. 2. Her father did say that wedding bells will ring. 3. According to the advances he "sees her lips touching Gael's lips". You all might give your man the benefit of the doubt, but I would give him the boot.
I've never been there (yet) but I hear it is a fantastic place. Lately it has been featured in both Abismo and Una Familia and it looks just beautiful. (Of course they never show the icky places.) It is the capital of Yucatan.
I loved the Alfie grilling Paolo like a BK Whopper line!!
This whole episode was just stupid. Assgusto is a grade A moron. Sheesh.
I'm starting to like Enrique. Another voice of reason...at least in some cases.
I saw an International House Hunters episode once and they were in Merida. The houses they looked at were all freaking gorgeous. I've been bugging hubs to move there ever since.

Ah Cynderella...clearly you are a Lip Woman. Gael's disturb you, Gambino's appeal (other than that weird pink lipstick vibe) and you've no doubt noticed that Damian's are alarmingly thin and tight. Ni modo. "Thin hungry lips" always seems to crop up in bodice rippers which is why I was led astray. I'm so fixated on Gambino's fine deltoids that I have never actually noticed his lips. But I'll try real hard from now on.

Cynderella:
You did it again. Great recap—funny as a vintage Saturday Night Live. LOVED this PP:
"Next time put your boobies in his face, says Elisa, who was still walking on clouds from kissing Dam Fine. People in love make me sick. I want to punch her. They walk off arm and arm together."
Cynderella, I just laughed out loud. So many of us feel that way about the starry-eyed-newly-in-love but you just put it into words.
I also loved "Grilling Paolo like a BK Whopper". Too bad he didn't FRY!
I think Gael's lips may be natural from what I have seen of his old photos. They did seem rather thin and Damian-like last night.
I hate this stupid plot turn with the letter, Elisa, Damian misunderstanding, Augusto overreacting routine. I feel like this is just another riff on the same old theme of mistrust, bad intentions and innocence sullied. ¡Ya basta, writers! We take your point.
Thanks again, Cunderella, for a delightful recap that made me giggle and chortle.

Wow, I should have read comments before I commented. I just repeated you all's comments! It seems we all had the same feelings about last night's plot turn.
Really, in every novela where it appears, I hate stupidity. Misunderstandings are useful for drama, but who can root for stupid protagonists or supporters? That is what killed me on El Tal.

Hi all.
Thank all for this great site! I was looking for a site where I could read about TN and I found this one. Very happy!
I have a limited understanding of spanish so this is very helpful.
I've been watching since the beginning but I have a few questions I ope someone can answer.
First what is Ingrid's relationship to Gael? Is she really his mom? I thought his parents died in an accident?
Also I never understood the whole Paloma and Doctor scenes. Did she do something with him? Why is she getting slapped left and right?
Thanks!

Great work; I have no new comment to add today.
Anon at 3:55, Ingrid is Gael's mother. She abandoned him on the church doorstep when he was born. Paloma is being accused of fooling around with the doctor, but nothing has happened. She's his receptionist.

Thanks, Cynderella, for a great recap and your point of view. I'm not sure that this TN is a whole heck of a lot better than El Talisman, so your willingness to help make sense of it makes your recap that much more appreciated!
Just for you Gabino admirers, I've changed my profile pic. How do you like the original GaMbino? Not much in the lips department but plenty of nariz, no? Another hot dude for the ladies.
Gotta go - Preakness time!

Thanks Cynderella. Your daring gonzo recaps are always delightful. Some of your great lines have already been cited. I especially liked this:
"She will have to think quick! She’ll need something original! It’s not hers, she says. The letter belongs to Elisa. ORIGINAL! I stressed ORIGINAL!"
Maybe not original (anyone not see it coming?) but it sure got a big ball rolling. I say good job... Cynderella... and Carmina...
Was there a flash of Kenia lying lifeless on the floor of Loveshack or did I imagine that? I'm going to be very irked if they've knocked off our Kenia.
I saw a glimmer of hope for our Augusto support group in the touching farewell scene between Gael and Augusto.
I've really come to look forward to the Lupe/Ramona meetings. I hope they keep serving them up.

Cynderella, your mind has such an attractive yet devious quality, "Damien greets Gael and backs out of the room (he doesn’t want to get shanked in the back at the church.)” Only you would put "shanked" and "church" in the same sentence! Loved every minute of your recap. Thanks so much!
I for one was glad that Elisa, in her angry confrontation with both Augusto and Carmina, managed to get out the fact that Kenia is underaged and “was” pregnant, it was her “sample” that caused the Elisa pregnancy blowup. Augusto, did you take notice of that newsy item?
Alfie has won the capitulo game ball, she was oh-so-pleased with her detective work......a double play, Elisa marries Paolo, and Damian is a free agent again! I could see her glee peeking out under the Botox!
Carlos, as you probably remember, Augusto was in Gael’s corner when few others were! The way I see it, his kindness was put in the novela for a reason!
I have been to Merida, it is incredible...history, architecture, nature sanctuaries (especially flamingos) and existing unchanged Mayan cultures,(homes that are circular huts with thatched roofs.) If you plan to go, needless to say, it should be a winter, not summer destination.

I don't know, but Kenia looked down for the count in the avances. It would be a shame to lose this character. I do think she was afraid of Ingrid and I think Gabs is seeing Ingrid with a new set of eyes.
It goes without saying that ANY scene between Rene and Raquel is absolutely tops. I can't get enough of those two.
I was so glad to see Elisa give to Assgusto (that pathetic piece of slime) with both barrels. Very glad she threw in the tidbits about Kenia and Paolo. Yeah, wake up you jerk Assgusto.
If Damien is stupid enough to fall for the lies and not listen to what Elisa has to say, then I'd say boot his butt and his thin, pursed lips out the door. Zepeda looks really fine when he smiles. He just needs to do it more.
I guess the story line that intrigues me right now is the Ingrid-Kenia-Gabs match up. Things don't look so good there.
The rest of the stuff, well, it's pretty predictable, isn't it?
Thank you, recapper.

Anon 3:55 - WELCOME!!! Join the chorus.
Ah, Mike, have to say not exactly in the current AbsGab league, but I"m sure in the day he was quite a catch.
Judy/Cynderella - ok, now I will be fixating on the lips Monday. ( Rough, I know). I like to think of Gabs pink shine as chapstick. The man is always prepared.

Mike- Hush your mouth! AdP is WAYYYYY better (and logical) than ElTal! Do not compare anything to that hot mess, unless it's something like Triunfo de Amor...
Wonderful job once again Cynderella. I had just gotten home from the airport, so I didn't feel like diving into the depressing and dramatic happenings of La Ermita last night. I'll take time tomorrow to catch up with this past week's episodes.
I am going to give Dam the benefit of the doubt and not jump to any conclusions about him jumping to conclusions on Monday. Previews can be deceptive.
I remember Merida well from Sortilegio. So much bad stuff happened to the female protagonist there that I think we started calling the city Mierda. I do remember that the actors looked really hot, with huge sweat stains. They actually talked about the heat quite a bit, and the pregnant heroine passed out because of it (no air conditioning in her hovel of a hostel). They also had some great cenote swimming scenes.

"next time put your boobies in his face"
"kissident"
"don't send sad or happy Elisa over to cheer me up"
"Someone finally sent an official memo to the extras and explained that spreading out across the field will be more realistic".
I will be so disappointed if Damian forgets he saw an Orange Ho come out of a Blue House and gets upset with Elisa over this marriage that was his mother's idea.
How is Kenia going to get out of this mess?

Welcome Anon 3:55! I'm so glad you found us.
Sandy in TN, I'm so glad (and also kinda jealous) that you have visited Merida.
Sara, I think I might have seen that Int'l House Hunters episode at my friend's house. She watches it religiously. The houses were amazing and we were both saying "Let's move there NOW!"
Cynderella, I couldn't resist re-reading your recap. What a fun romp. Yes, you are an original.

Before reading the wonderful recap, i have to ask...
did anyone else notice that when Padre loopy came in Gael's room and was surprised to find him still there, he actually peeked around the door to see of Gael had any other company in his room that was hiding from him? LOL!!! I could not believe he did that!!
Cynderella, loved loved the sense of humor. i have to go back and rewatch Kenya's furniture now that you mention it...
lol on
(there will definitely be no big blue NERF balls for him tonight).
Alfonsina is grilling Paolo like a BK Whopper. …I pay the bills! I ask the questions!
Poor Paolo, if he thought he had it bad with his brother, he had never met an Alfonsina…
Alfonsina tells him that it doesn’t matter what he thinks…. Not only that but she said ‘you have to do it because it is convenient for me!’ the nerve of this woman! Btw, did anyone else find it funny that she had HIM as her driver? He was looking down as a slave and hopped into the drivers seat.. LOL!
Ingrid really wants those Benjamins! … Gabby smiles. Suddenly, his jeans got a little tighter. He’s just found a soul mate that’s just as psychotic as he is and it is turning him on.
The people working at Elisa’s weeds were actually workers from La Anita that Damian sent to help out… that is why they were not dressed in white or worked bunched up in one section of the fields.. they are NOT field workers! Lol… I bet they will all have major back aches by the end of the day since they are used to working standing straight.
. Carmina, wearing bedazzled jeans,…
For once both Agosto and Carmina are miraculously stunned into silence.
He looks at Ingrid. Where have you been all my life? He mentally makes plans to introduce her to his mother and his kids (which is a problem since his kids are not aware that he is their father).
Excuse me! This gossip’s not gonna spread itself.
Hopefully, no one will send Elisa over to cheer him up. If you do, hide the razors and the guns.
And about that last conv between Gab and Irritat-Ing… he tells her they are looking for the papers at procesadora. She says where they are, in the file cabinet under some binders… (did she hide the papers intentionally? How would she know she was not going to come back? Or did she hide them to get back at Maru and make herself un-dispense-able?... I did not get that train of thought on Ingrid…
Another question, why didn’t Kenya tell Gael who his father is?
The pink check… yeah that was funny …

I TOO can't get enough of Padre Loopy / Ramona scenes... those two take it right out of the ball park!
and also, in avances, i noticed that first Kenya was on street face down in front of her house, then she was running after someone or away from someone with her hand soaked in blood (or at least was red as a tomato). could she have been wounded and running for help? if she survives and her attacker was Ingrid, that will definitely put her in a target poster for Gabino.

I have to side with JudyB... about the lips...give Gael a break will ya.
daisynjay,
Meanwhile Mr. WhatElseCanWeDumpOnThisGuy is making his rounds of farewells, and I had to keep reminding myself (tissues handy) that no way were they sending this guy off. (THough I was beginning to wonder if they would and he'd come back all successful. That actually made me think not a bad plot device.)
I like that 'WhatElseCanWeDumpOnThisGuy'!! and i would have thought the same if i had not seen the original CdeP
So the previews look like Dam maybe takes a stupid pill again and maybe leaps to a wrong conclusion? Or will Gael ride in to save the day and be the one to "offer his services" and marry Elisa instead of Paolo? Monday does look like another holy mess...but that's why we watch.
LOL ditto!
Pasofino,
Only a demented middle-aged man who is looking for the worst in his alleged daughter would believe the words in a letter that are not addressed to Elisa and which is not signed. ...
ITA
now you guys will make me add Merida to my 'someday mexico trip' checklist... which so far had Guanajuato (from Entre el Amor y el Odio sites, and LHDM mentions) and Puerto Vallarta (CS'93 LeKliff rest. and beautiful beaches)

SPECULATION:
Ok we see Kenia in the avances face down looking injured. Some say she is in the street.
We know Augusto knows her address and we know Augusto now knows she was pregnant by Paolo.
What if Augusto goes looking for Kenia, finds her injured and brings her back to his house to nurse her back to health? Carmina's not gonna like that!!!

Cynderella, this recap was pure delight. You are a funny, funny lady.
My favorite part was the whole extended "carry my milk" metaphor. Grocery shopping will never be the same.

so who did Padre Loopy expect to find behind gael's door this time? Kenya? Paloma again? Elisa? Lolita? Carmina? Flo? Sabrina(nah!)? hmmm... he wound't 'do' his own mother, right? and I think Alfie and Maru are out of the question...
Yay! I am finally caught up and have watched all last week's episodes.
Poor Kenia looked so scared in the Blue House being threatened by Mommy Dearest and Stepdad of the Year Gabino. From the preview, it looks like things get rough with her in the Blue House.
Also from the preview it looks like Dam beats the truth out of Paolo, and what he's angry about is not the letter and all the Paolo biz, but seeing Gael kissing Elisa. I can understand him being ticked about that.
Gabino and Ingrid are an interesting pair. But they both get turned on by seeing the other being evil. They're a perfect match.

I just finished watching and must say I am shocked that Elisa was kissing Gael in the avances. I'm sure it's going to be one of those "see what you are missing?" grab and kiss from Gael, but she did seem to be into it. As would I.

Sorry. I have ADD. Got distracted once again.
Mike. Gambino mother thinks he's handsome.
Judy B. I am a lip woman. I just don't want my man with a "Prince Valiant" hair cut and pink lipstick. I won't be able to get around that.
Sandy in TN: he backed out of the church. Both Dam and I knew Gael would get him if he had the chance. LOL
Thanks Yola. I appreciate that.
Everyone Else. Thanks a lot for reading the recap. I'm glad you liked it.
