Abismo de pasión #130 9/14/12: If Dam's not Getting Married...Ain't No Dam Body Getting Married!
I did not proofread this. Sorry. I will update it shortly.
Casa de Gabby’s Crib: Alfonsina is looking for Ingrid. Gabby reminds her that he found the receipt for the plane tickets. Alfonsina says that Gabby has always assured her that Estefania was the low-down husband-hawk who was running away with Rosendo. Gabby says that Alfonsina jumped to her own conclusions about those two tickets to paradise! He simply let her assume that his lover was Estefania. Alfonsina believes that Gabby would have never kept those tickets for all of these years if Estefania was the real culprit. Maybe so…maybe no, says Gabby. Gabby says that he will give her the tickets for 50% (what a bargain!) of the Procesadora. Alfonsina says that Gabby can kiss 50% of her butt, cuz he will never be part owner in her company. Gabby says she will never know the truth. Alfonsina storms out.
Casa de Castanon: Sabrina has come to visit Elisa on her wedding day. She wants to apologize for how she acted in front of Florencia. Elisa forgives her. Before Sabrina leaves, Elisa wants to know what Sabby wanted to tell her about Florencia. Sabby tells Elisa that Paolo told her that he never loved her. He was only with her to steal Sabby’s baby so that he could give it to Florencia. According to Paolo, Florencia can’t have kids; Sabby realizes that Paolo was lying. Elisa points out that Florencia is obviously six months pregnant. Sabrina wishes Elisa luck and walks out. Elisa caresses her amulet.
Casa de Arango Wedding Reception Area: Damien walks out of the house kissing his amulet like it’s a rosary when he encounters Ramona. Ramona wants to give him some final mumbo jumbo advice before he recites his vows. She tells him not to doubt the power of her amulets. Two people who love each other must wear them at the same time. If they already love each other…then why would they need an amulet? Am I over thinking this? Damien has heard her mumbo jumbo before, so he asks if she is going to tell him that he cannot escape his fate. Alfonsina interrupts them and tells Damien that it is time to get dressed for the nuptials. Their guests (implying that Ramona was not invited) are waiting. As soon as he rushes off, Alfonsina demands to know what Ramona is doing there. Ramona tells Alfonsina that she came to keep a promise that she made to someone. Alfonsina tells Ramona to hit the bricks, before she calls her bouncers.
Casa de Arango Foyer: Now fully dressed in a white tuxedo, Dam Fine dashes towards the door. He is met by a bruised Paolo who is also dressed for the wedding and waiting patiently in the corner. Paolo warmly greets his nephew-in-law. Damien asks what Paolo is doing there. Paolo has come to walk Florencia down the aisle. He was released that morning. Alfonsina comes in. Paolo points out that he and Alfonsina are sporting matching outfits and tells her that she looks so good the Guido (his dead brother) would fall dead at her feet. Alfonsina is not amused and informs him that his comment was tacky. Paolo has to leave; he’s not welcome there, she says. Paolo tells her to relax, he is just there for the wedding.
Case de Arango Florencia’s Bedroom: Florencia is sobbing over her wedding gown when there is a knock at the door. Paolo, your favorite rapist/child molester/convict /extortionist back-stabbing uncle is here to walk you down the ailse! Florencia tells this wedding crasher that he will regret if he ruins her wedding day! Paolo, as I, can’t believe that Florenica was able to fool Dam and Alfonsina for this long. He backs her into her dresser. Since he’s a lazy bum, his brother’s dead and he helped her (by putting her in touch with the OBGYN), Paolo wants a monthly check for the rest of his life. Paolo grabs Florencia by the neck and pokes her in the stomach. She wants to discuss the terms of his blackmail after the wedding. Paolo agrees and tells her that she looks pretty!
Casa de Padre Lupe: Gall also wearing a white tux, but he doesn’t look as delicious as Damien does. He has to hurry because he has to pick up the priest who will officiate the wedding. Gall asks the Padre to give him a blessing. Padres Lupe gives Gall the benediction and tells him that he loves him a lot. Gall asks Padre to come to the civil ceremony that will be held after the religious ceremony. Gall leaves and Padre grabs a large rosary.
Casa de Castanon Foyer: Don Lucio asks if Carmina is attending the wedding. Carmina wasn’t invited. Don Lucio says that it’s a pity that Carmina never tried to get along with Elisa. He points out that Carmina will be all alone once Elisa leaves. She will have no one because no one likes her. Dressed for the wedding, Lolita and Elisa enter the foyer. Padre tells Elisa that she is beautiful. Lolita, Lucio and Elisa leave for the wedding.
Church on Arango Property: Dam Fine, Alfonsina and Paolo greet the wedding guests. Alfonsina doesn’t want the wedding to start late. Paolo assures Alfonsina that Florencia will arrive shortly. Damien leaves to get Florencia. Mrs. Kravitz (Begona) walks up and tells Dam Fine that he is looking very handsome. Paolo preens for his potential ex-mother-in-law. He wants to know if she is going to greet him as well. She tells him that she didn’t know that he was out of jail. Alfonsina says that it was an unpleasant surprise for her as well.
Casa de Arango: Dam Fine enters the foyer and is met by anorexic Florencia (with huge boobies) minus the pregnancy prosthetic. Florencia is dressed in a sassy short red spaghetti dress with some cute platform strappy beige sandals. Dam Pissed covers his mouth in order to stop himself from calling her all kinds of derogatory names that rhyme with door and itch and tramp. OK, he might have let tramp slip out and he may have said a word or two that rhymes with…luck, truck and hunt! He calls himself a couple of fools. He admits that he missed some obvious signs that indicated that she was not preggers. Hmmmm… like he wasn’t allowed to touch his wife’s belly or feel the baby kick or see her naked or have sex with his wife. He wasn’t allowed to enter her bedroom and was locked out at night. In hindsight, he may have missed a few clues. Florencia immediately diffuses the situation by handing him a manila envelope that contains divorce papers and a letter of explanation. She opens the door and encourages him to seek out the woman that he loves. Don’t dwell on how I made you look like a fool. Leave before you have more time to think about this and try to kill me! He snatches the envelope and leaves.
Gall and Eliar’s Outdoor Wedding Ceremony: Don Lucio walks Elisa (who thankfully is wearing white pumps and not those ugly cowboy boots) down an aisle that is large enough to accommodate a Mack truck. Don Lucio delivers her to the altar. In the background, Padre Lupe and tearful Paloma arrive. Hopefully, Paloma is there to bust Gall and announce to all that she is knocked up. The priest tells the bride and groom to confess their guilt and sins. I don’t think Gall heard him because he didn’t confess that he had sex with the chick sitting on the back pew.
Arango Church: Now both the bride and groom are missing! Alfonsina busies herself with apologizing to the guests. Suddenly, the priest tells everyone to stand and the wedding march music begins. There’s a slight problem! The bride enters the sanctuary dressed in a red summer dress, but she’s missing her baby belly and her groom! She walks past her confused mother-in-law and gives Alfonsina a dirty look! Stop the music! Sorry, but the wedding’s cancelled, says Florencia. Florencia back to Alfonsina and informs her that she was never preggers. Florencia tells Alfonsina that she’s been laughing at her. Alfonsina wants to know where Damien is. Florencia says nothing but has a look of pure satisfaction on her face while Paolo stands in the background. Alfonsina runs out of the church frantically screaming her son’s name. At the steps, she throws her much beloved fan to the ground. She runs an obstacle course by first attacking one of the caterers carrying the wedding cake. Both the caterer and the cake fall to the ground. She then grabs a random table cloth and destroys a beautiful place setting before sprinting in heels and at full Flo Jo speed towards her home. She runs into Damien’s room and discovers that the gun is missing from its case.
Wedding Ceremony de Gall and Eliar: Unfortunately, Paloma doesn’t have the guts to bust Gall out. The priest asks Elisa if she will accept Gall as her husband all of the days of her life. Before she can answer, Damien, still wearing his tux, gallops up on his trusty steed, Silver. Wedding Crasher Damien shouts Elisa’s name! All of the guests stand up. Elisa and Gall turn to look at who is causing the commotion. Damien tells Elisa that he will not allow her to marry another man who is not him. At first, no one says anything. Damien wonders why no one is responding! “Am I speaking English? Why is everyone looking at me like I have a problem?” Padre Lupe tells Damien that he is interrupting a sacred ceremony and tells Damien that he needs to leave. Damien tells his uncle to mind his own business. This doesn’t involve him. Damien rides Silver up the aisle and tells Elisa to come with him. Elisa tells Damien that he’s nuts. Gall tells Damien that he is crazy if he thinks that Gall will allow him to take off with his fiancé. Gall tells Damien that he will have to kill him first. Damien whips out cannon-sized pistol, cocks it and points it at Gall. Let me just say that Dam Fine has never looked hotter to me than he did at that moment. Like a woman in love and willing to die for her man, Elisa jumps behind Gall and uses him as a human shield. Padre Lupe stands in front of Gall and tells Damien to put down the gun. Again, Damien tells his uncle to get some business of his own. This has nothing to do with him. Dolores and Don Lucio chime in. Don Lucio tells Damien not to do anything stupid. Damien says that he won’t do anything stupid he just wants Elisa to come with him. Gall tries to rush towards Damien, but is immediately restrained by Don Lucio and Padre Lupe. Damien apologizes to Gall for taking his woman, but he explains that his feet hurt, he’s having a bad day, he hasn’t had sex in six months and he’s ready to explode! Elisa makes eye contact with Gall. Although Elisa pretends to be angry, her face says otherwise. With a slight smile, she walks towards the horse. Little Damien pipes up and tells Dam that they’d better be nice to her (it’s been six months)! So like a bi-polar gentleman, Damien politely asks her to get on the Silver with him. He reaches down and pulls her up and gallops off with the bride. Gall chases the horse in vain. Padre falls to his knees and says “Cain and Abel”.
Casa de Arango: Alfonsina is worried about is son. Florencia tells Alfonsina that Damien is on his way to the woman he loves; Florencia and Damien celebrated their divorce. Alfonsina is shocked that Florencia pushed Damien into the arms of Elisa. Alfonsina calls Florencia a bastard. Florencia gets offended! I don’t understand why Florencia got so offended. She is about the only one in the whole novella who knows who her parents are! Paolo tries to jump in. Alfonsina tells him to shut up and get the hell out of her house. Alfonsina doesn’t understand how she was deceived. She saw the ultrasounds with her own eyes. Alfonsina tries to beat up Florencia, but Paolo steps between them. Florencia tells her not to touch her. Alfonsina opens the door and tells them that they have 5 minutes to get out, but Florencia tells her that her bags are already packed! Paolo and Florencia go to Florencia room. As soon as the door is closed, Paolo calls her and idiot and grabs her by her hair. Florencia tells Paolo to shut up. She no longer has to pay for his silence. Open your eyes. Paolo almost hits her. He points out that he has no one else to mooch off! Paolo stole all of Guido’s money, and therefore Guido didn’t leave them a cent! In hindsight, Paolo realizes that he should have squirreled away a few of those dollars. Ya live…ya learn! Florencia says that Paolo will suck her dry like he did Guido. She calls him a parasite and leaves. Casa de Castanon: Gabino, wearing is white hat bandage and carrying a suitcase, has come to visit Carmina. She wants to know what the hell he’s doing there and wear is Ingrid. Gabby tells her that Ingrid is dead. Upon hearing of Ingrid’s death, Carmina can’t hide her joy. She tells Gabby that it’s his fault that Ingrid blasted him in the head. He should have killed Ingrid when Carmina told him to. Gabby puts the suitcase on the table and tells her to count the money. She tells him to count it; there’s no deal.
Casa de Arango Alfonsina’s Bedroom: Tonia brings some vittles on a tray to Alfonsina. Alfonsina sends her away. Alfonsina looks at herself in the mirror, rips the necklaces from her body and throws them at her image. Realizing she has just earned an additional seven years of bad luck, she sinks to the floor sobbing Evil Florencia’s name.
Casa de Castanon: Gabby is busted! Carmina’s not selling her property to Alfonsina Arango! Gabby tries to tell her that the money belongs to him, but she not buying it. Gabby tells Carmina that he will take her to court. Carmina calls his bluff and tells him that she will get the appraisal and prove that he forged the contract or check. The land was worth double want he was going to pay. Gabby blinks first. Carmina says that she will sell the land for a fair price. If he’s interested in the land, he knows what he has to do. I don’t know what he has to do.
Witch Mountain: Paloma has come to tell Ramona that Gall and Eliar didn’t get married, but Ramona seems to know it before she can get it out! Paloma tells how Damien kidnapped Elisa. She feels bad for Florencia. Ramona tells Paloma that Florencia was never preggers by Damien or anyone! Ramona recounts that she knew that Florencia was a lying about the baby as soon as she saw her. Ramona brags that it’s hard to fool her. Earlier, Florencia had told Ramona that she was going to divorce Damien. Ramona tells Paloma that Gall will remain obsessed with Elisa and this will not change anything. Paloma says that she still intends to marry Enrique. Ramona says that she knows that Enrique is not Paloma’s baby’s daddy.
Woods: Gall has found a horse and is riding through the woods screaming for Elisa.
Casa de Arango Alfonsina’s Bedroom: Lupe has come to comfort his sister. He’s just learned that Florencia faked her pregnancy and divorced Damien. Padre Lupe wants to know if his sister had anything to do with this. Lupe cannot resist rubbing in that this is ultimately Alfonsina’s fault for choosing “that chick” as Damien’s wife. She’s in an Abismo of mistakes and she can’t get out of them. Lupe tells his sister that Damien kidnapped Elisa. Alfonsina is concern that history will repeat itself.
Casa de Mickey minus Mallory: Ramona’s words are coming back to Gabby. Poor cutie pie is in pain. He’s popping Oxy and drinking Tequilla. Ramona tells him that the pain will come back. He will be in agony for the rest of his life and she will not help him. What a lovely healer.
Casa de Castanon Livingroom: Mrs. Kravitz is telling Carmina about Damien kidnapping Elisa from the wedding. It was like a movie, she says. Gall has vowed to kill Damien. He’s been asking everyone (except the police) if they have seen Elisa. Mrs. Kravitz wants Elisa examined by an OBGYN immediately. What tricks or talents does Elisa possess that makes men crazy? Is it the Kama Sutra? Carmina says that Damien deserves to die. Mrs. Kravitz said, If Agosto were alive, he would have probably shot Dam with the rifle again. Carmina tells Mrs. Kravitz to shut up. Carmina pretends that she’s worried about Elisa.
Casa de Don Lucio: If I am ever kidnapped at gun point by a psychopath, no matter how cute he looks in his white tux….please notify the FBI, the CIA, the Federales, Scotland Yard, Sherlock Holmes, Batman, and Columbo. You will know I was kidnapped by a psycho because he kidnapped me with a gun. Do not stop to munch on some guac, cheese and delicious Tostachos until AFTER a call to the KGB has been made. Dolores thanks Lucio for letting her live with him. Lucio, Braulio and Dolores snack on some Tostacho’s, guacamole and melted cheese. Dolores was scared the Damien (the psycho: see above for definition) was going to shoot Gall. Both Braulio and Lucio agree that Damien would have never shot Gall. They continue munching on those tasty chips. Lucio’s not worried because Damien is and Elisa are adults now and if he wants to forcibly kidnap her from the altar in broad daylight…who is he to judge. He dips another chip in the guac. Someone needs to get some lemonade to wash ‘em down. If anyone’s interested, they sell those at my neighborhood AM/PM. After watching the episode, I will be heading over to get some as well.
Woods: Gall, on his horse, vows to kill Damien.
Playa: Damien tells Elisa that they will stay on the beach for the night. He asks how long she plans on giving him the silent treatment. Damien walks over to a fisherman who is mending his nets by a hut. While striking a deal with the fisherman for the hut, Damien does not notice that Elisa has escaped. He chases her down and tackles her on the beach. Damien tells her that he was never going to let her marry another man. She calls him sick. Yeah, I’m sick with love for you. She tells him that doesn’t love him anymore. Matter of fact? She hates him. He covers his ears to block out her voice. He tells her over and over again how much he loves her and gives her the loving head butt. She grabs his gun and points it at him. He tells her to shoot him. That is the only way he will ever believe that she loves Gall.

When his Goddaughter got kidnapped at gunpoint, Don Lucio sprang into action . . . and served up a Tostacho buffet.
So, should we call the police?
Go looking for her?
Maybe we should eat something?
Was it Gabriela in FELS who was buried alive? Granted, it was part of her plan to fake-die, but Fernando Escandon never un-buried her. The camera showed her panic when she realized she was stuck in there. I cannot remember if she had killed anyone, but she was a terrible mother, had an affair with her daughter's husband, etc.
"I loved the way Lolita flicked Carmina in the face with her shawl on her way out the door to the wedding."
That was the best part of that scene. I was LOL.
Elisa's "wedding" dress looked more like a cocktail dress. Seriously, fellow beanie-hat-wearers, I think white cowgirl boots would have done very nicely with that dress. Really.
<< Home
Cynderella - Thank you for setting the discussions here.
Well, it was not as explosive and dramatic as I had hoped for, but I quickly ran over to the Florencia table during this capítulo.
Paolo sure served as a great plot-propeller this week.
LOL when Elisa hid behind Gael while Dam was brandishing the gun towards Gael. Elisa thought bubbles --- "Yes, Dam, go ahead and take him out for me."
Note to Elisa …. QTH? You gave Dam your hand, magically jumped (or was beamed up) onto his horse while the camera was conveeeniently looking elsewhere. Then, at the beach you run away and claim to hate him? Are you having a Midol moment, dear?
I REDEMPTION was written all over that scene between Alfonsina and Pad Lupe, where Alfie shows regret for her mistakes. Blanca Guerra did a great job with that scene. Her face was transformed from the usual Alfie-Bitch expression.

Doris- Not only did the camera look away when Elisa magically got on the horse, but there was also something loony going on with her walk down the aisle with Lucio. The camera from the back showed her with NO boquet in hand- her left hand swinging sassily as she sashayed down the aisle. The camera from the front showed her daintily holding her bouquet up against her heart. This continuity error kept going even when she was at the altar with Gael. Who ever was in charge of continuity that day should have held off on drinking until the day was done...
Vivi - I completely missed the disappearing bouquet magic act; I was too shocked at the hemline of her dress. THAT was Lolita's wedding dress???

All:
The Tostacho buffet was a crack up. Eric looked like he was baffled by the ship in his hand. He nibbled at it, then spoke, then nibbled. I was so tickled by this scene.
Vivi: O the LACK of continuity! Could you believe the magic flowers? Jejejeje...
On redemption—Doris, I, too, loved Blanca Guerra. What an actress—I believed her repentant Alfonsina for five full minutes. Can it last?...I don't think so. The tickets are buried with ING, so where is the proof that she has been wrong all these years? I have a hard time imagining a contrite Alfonsina.
I loved the episode and cannot wait to read your take on last night, Cynderella.

What a barn-burner! That should have been the gran final...in fact, it was probably originally supposed to be.
There were some great lines:
- Damián to Ramona: "Are you going to tell me I can't avoid my destiny again?"
- Alfie to Lupe: "He cometido un abismo de errores." (I'm taking a half-bingo for this one on "character says name of show.")
- Ramona to Gabino (in flashback): "You will return to me when you can no longer withstand the pain because you are desperate for my remedies..." ("Mis remedios" -- nice turn of phrase on her daughter's name.)

I also noticed that Maru and Lucio were sitting together at the boda -- but she didn't get invited back for the consoling tostacho-fest, so I guess he's still ambivalent.
Alfie had an awesome meltdown: pulling the tablecloths off the tables, shattering her mirror with sapphires...and in spite of the heat, I noticed she was wearing a slip. What a gal.

OT: I just saw Mark Tacher and Cecilia Galiano in Sabadazo... he again tried to sing amaneci en tus brazos and still sounds off pitch... but he looks pretty good. he was celebrating his bday, i think he said he is 37.
ok, now on to read the recap and comments.

The airline tickets are buried with Ing . . . unless, someone saved her from the grave. Could Horacio be a hero on this one? Unearthing the tart & presenting the tickets to Alfie?

"Alfie had an awesome meltdown: pulling the tablecloths off the tables, shattering her mirror with sapphires..."
Great description, Blue Lass ... and I was at home yelling at the TV - Nooooooo, not the cake!
Vivi, that outdoor wedding/white knight on horseback scene was a total patch job, wasn't it? Zepeda was only present when the horse was standing still. All the other stuff was a clumsy mélange done with doubles. I completely missed the bouquet thing -- I'll have to look again.
Doris, I was also struck by Elisa's magical ascension. Hah!
I think Elisa went with Dam just to keep him from shooting up the place -- she was playing hero and victim -- but she is as mad as a pouty little girl in a Toddlers and Tiaras shorty dress can be, gosh darn it!
As you say, what a tour de force on Blanca Guerra's part -- she really did transform her face and become another person. As EJ says, will it stick?

Best. Episode. EVER!!!
Dam Fiery is back! Like he's finally snapped out of the sleepwalking he's been doing the last 30 episodes. And yes, maybe the white horse, gun and kidnapping were over the top but such a welcome relief to the Dam Phoning it In we've been seeing.
And apologies to those at the Gael table but I prefer muttering, vengeful, murderous Gael to the boring, bland novio we've been seeing.
Loved Alfies necklace, Flo's red dress and Elisa's hot pink lipstick.
Padre Lupe and Paloma will get full points for showing up and supporting Gael at his non wedding.
Did Dam on the beach remind anyone else of his final scene in Sortilegio?!
This was a great episode and will be even greater once Cynderella gets through with it. Already love the title!
Katy

before all hell broke loose, i loved the little scene between Padre and Gael, complete with the boxing movement greeting goodbye. Hadn't seen such a moving scene between those two in weeks!
ITA, Katy -- I was laughing and cheering all the way through. "Over the top" is why we keep comin' back!!!
I'm sure there is shock & awe at the Alfonsina table now that she has actually uttered the unimaginable sentence: "Y la culpable de todo...soy yo." What drink will they mix for that?
And speaking of editing hatchet-jobs, the "writers" would have us believe that Elisa didn't utter a peep all the way to the ocean, walked down the beach with Damián HOLDING HANDS, and then decided she hated him...? QTH? And where was she hiding that gun?

Blue, I had the same thought regarding holding hands on the beach. And then, the most radical personality change of all: Elisa QUIET!!!! I barely recognized her!
I'm guessing Dam paying that guy for his cabana for the night is gonna come in to play later. I predict a stormy beach reconciliation and then a honeymoon for Dam and Elisa. (I can only hope!)
I wonder if this was originally the finale? It seemed really out of place mixed in with the rest of capitulos. And the new set at the beach--seemed like they were working with a much bigger budget than usual.

I think Damien was tightly holding on to her hand, the way you would do your child to prevent it from running into the street or something. I don't think they were holding hands as lovers.
Interesting thought, Katy. Perhaps the beach and hut were booked by the producers ahead when the show was supposed to be shorter and they had to keep the commitment. It sure does seem that they spent a lot of money on one epi—not the final. Let's see, renting horses, clearing a beach, building a little cabana, fake cake, decorated chapel, new outfits...that's a small fortune!
Maybe the obvious Tostachos placement paid for the epi.

So, Cynderella...if Gabino comes to get you, how much of a head start should we give you before we call Interpol? An hour? Two? Three if on horseback?

Cynderella:
I am so glad you got to do this recap. It was a very messy but fun episode and you did it justice.
I love that you had the same reaction that I did to Alfie pulling off the tablecloth—Hey! Don't ruin a perfectly nice place setting!
You saw our earlier conversation about Alfie's redemption—what do you think? Is it a beginning of real change or just a false start?
Thanks again for the great recap. I love your work.

You saw our earlier conversation about Alfie's redemption—what do you think? Is it a beginning of real change or just a false start?
Thanks again for the great recap. I love your work.

Favorite lines:
- Alfonsina says that Gabby can kiss 50% of her butt.
- Damián: "Why is everyone looking at me like I have a problem?”
- Like a woman in love and willing to die for her man, Elisa jumps behind Gall and uses him as a human shield.
As for what Gabino "knows he has to do" for Carmina, I assume it's kill somebody. After all, the poor girl can't be everywhere at once.

Thanks for the recap Cynderella. Enjoyed the title too.
The out of control spectacle of the non-weddings was a riot. I enjoyed Dam being angry and snatching Elisa.
Doris/EJ - I wonder about Fina's redemption. The writers have given themselves some time for this to occur but Fina's caused a lot of strife and havoc.
Though Dam was crazy, Elisa pulling the gun went too far for me. There are people who she needed to brandish weapons prior to this moment.

Thanks Cynderella, I think this was a difficult episode to recap, you did a great job.
I thought that Elisa looked quite pleased to have the wedding interrupted. She smiled when she saw Damian, she sauntered over to his horse when he told her to come with him, and she strolled down the beach hand in hand with him. When Dam told her not to get any ideas when he let her hand go, she did this cute pouty huff like she was pretending to be mad.
The product placement chip eating scene was hilarious. They were each trying to show pleasure over what they were eating all the while talking about what a horrible scene they just witnessed with the kidnapping.

Cynderella - You won the lottery with this episode to recap and you did a great job with it! Thank you!
You are not over thinking Ramona's statement; your telenovela beanie hat fell off your head.
I'd say their love was not strong or true if it depends on amulets. Gah. Where's my beanie hat???
Flo's boobs did look oddly ginormous in that red dress.
"Like a woman in love and willing to die for her man, Elisa jumps behind Gall and uses him as a human shield."
BwaHahahahhaaaaaa
The Tostachos scene was like a bizarre PSA advocating food-binging during moments of stress. On Tostachos.

So is that Tostachos' new ad campaign? "AUN UNA BODA INTERRUMPIDA SE CONVIERTE EN DIVERTAMIENTO"???
Obviously Elisa is not wearing her amulet. All Dam Impulsive has to do is get it on her, and he'll be able to get everything else off her.

Blue Lass - I'm sure if Elisa was wearing the amulet, she'd be in a much better mood about things. Flo gave it to her right before the wedding (I think?) but I doubt E is wearing it. She probably tossed it in a corner, thinking 'that ship has sailed.'
Great recap, Cynderella! I don't really watch entire episodes of this, but I caught several scenes in passing. Because I have my evil moments, I love scenes where people trash a wedding reception. I had the same thought--"Ayyy, not the cake too!" This was a totally terrific tantrum and I may have to watch the entire episode online to review the other great moments.

I was so excited last night realizing you would be recapping this chaotic hoot for us Cynderella. Your recap was wonderful!!
"but he explains that his feet hurt, he’s having a bad day, he hasn’t had sex in six months and he’s ready to explode! " The whole "Graduate" escape by horsie was just too funny. I know it was supposed to be heart-pounding, exciting and very serious, but I'm sorry, I just laughed. Dam looked, well Stoopid, brandishing that gun around ( shades of Augusto--maybe that's what Elisa sees in him?). Frankly, Dam should have aimed it at her for what the blazes she did to Delores' dress. But I digress...
And then, after that earth-shattering moment and chaos, our denizens need to partake...of a snack? I guess the law of La Ermita is eat first, rescue later.
Explains why the police never show up right away.
But I was happy to take a seat at the Flo table last night. You go girl, you may have been a spoiled brat, but you learned your lesson (which is more than I can say for some others) and made reparations for what you did. Head back to the big city. No matter what she SAYS, Pal's glee over the wedding demise will have her dumping QuiQui soon and he'll be joining you before you know it. In fact, I predict those two will lead the sanest and happiest life together.
Though they do say ignorance is bliss, so Dam Stoopid and Hotpants Elisa should be fine. (Poor Gael better learn how to live with a whiny shrew.)
So now what? I too think this was probably meant to be part of the Finale, but in reality we aren't even in the Ultimates. These next few weeks may be painful just having the repairings dragged out and waiting for Gab and Carmina to get their comeuppance. (They may be our only saving grace.) Better lay in the Tostachos and Tequila. The patio will need to be de-stressing too.

I'm in agreement with whoever suggested the beach was rented for the Gran Por Fin but since they extended this telenovela, they had to use it for the originally reserved date.
Doris & Daisynjay:
That was me (with the beach rental scenario). O I so agree that the last 30 episodes could be very painful. Arghh!
EJ

Thanks, Cynderella! As funny as always! I will personally call Batman and Columbo if you go missing! I always love your asides like "am I over thinking this?" and when Dam wonders "Am I speaking English?". Hahaha!
ITA that Dam was never hotter than when he showed up on his horse!
I may not have the stomach for TN vengeance. After ffwd-ing through the Ingrid being buried alive scenes (and I hate Ingrid), I'm not sure I can watch what happens to Alphie and even Carmina. I liked Mi Pecado where Carmelo (Horatio) just went crazy and ended up in a mental ward. That's the perfect TN justice for me. Although I would like to see Carmina end up as a maid and do some actual work for a change.
Thanks, Cynderella!

Alfie's punishment will be to have Elisa as a daughter in law (just like Leonor on STuD).
Carmina & Gabino will have to die. Gabino's headaches will make him want to die and Carmina is just too evil and consumed with hate to live. Both of them have killed 2 people (Kenia, Augusto, Beltran & Ingrid).
Alfie hasn't killed anyone.

Anon207, I agree that Alfi's anvil most likely won't be a deadly one. Usually when the character is just manipulative, proud and an instigator to make the heroine/hero's lives miserable, they live and somehow learn to live with that person at the end. She's already ralizing how wrong she was about Steff, how her errors led to Guido's death unintentionally and has lost the respect of her son. Still wonder if that heart issue of her's will be her wake-up call to be a better person.
As for gab and Carmina--Gabino may slowly go mad from the head pain, or Horacio will finally do him in ( I actually can see where he WANTS Horacio to kill him if there is aconfrontation because he can't take the pain??? No spoiler--but think that might be kinda interesting to have happened.)
As for Carmina--everything has always been about have the property and money. I would LOVE to see the whole place go up in a flaming inferno that leaves her with NADA. She's already been to the edge and back--let that send her over the edge. I'm sure the Doc can find a nice padded room for her.
I know I'm being generous with Carmina, but that II buried alive, though I hated the character, was enough for this TN.

Was it Gabriela in FELS who was buried alive? Granted, it was part of her plan to fake-die, but Fernando Escandon never un-buried her. The camera showed her panic when she realized she was stuck in there. I cannot remember if she had killed anyone, but she was a terrible mother, had an affair with her daughter's husband, etc.
That wedding dress was crazy ridiculous. I wonder why they just didn't go ahead and add some white boots with little bows on them.
Would anyone in their right mind REALLY get married in that kind of dress? It's a miracle the priest didn't have an apoplectic fit right then and there.
I wish someone could post a before and after picture of that dress.

Doris- That wasn't the dress Lolita gave her. That's the Horacio wedding dress. The dress Lolita gave her was the one she never wore for her wedding with Braulio.
Doris,
CRIPES!!! Que tragedia!!! I see what you mean about tightening the screws on the head.
Lolita and that dress look stunningly beautiful. Elisa (I like "Eliar"), just looks like a pale, washed out bean pole in comparison.
Thank you!

Ok. So, if that wasn't The Dress, are you saying that Lolita was planning to wear that nightgown looking number that Eliar wore?
If so, I'll really tighten the screws on my head.

Yes. Wish we had a screen capture from episode 113 when Lolita gives Elisa her Braulio wedding dress, but I am almost 100% positive that it was longer than what Elisa wore, but the same on top/bodice.
Ah...you guys are too funny!

Oops, well, my bad. (LOL) I was out of town when Lolita gave the wedding dress to Elisa, and missed the episode. But hey, this is telenovelaland and anything is possible, no? :o)
Great recap Cynderella.
I had fun watching this episode, the kidnapping at the non-Church was so over the top. I knew it had to be, because this novela has been much more over the top than Cañaveral, so this being the most popular scene of that novela (along with Fausto/Augusto's death), they had to go all the way here.
I agree with you all on Elisa's wedding dress but I also couldn't stop laughing at Damián's suit, someone mentioned at the univision boards that he seemed to be dressed to get baptized, not married. I like white suits but something about his was just ridiculous to me.
And this wasn't the end to Cañaveral de Pasiones. I think this was episode 75 actually, and it ended in episode 92. But, having seen both, Abismo goes a different way from here. This novela has stories to address that CdP did not, like Gael's cheating with Paloma, Lolita and Braulio's storyline and Carmina's serial killer ways (none of that happened in CdP).

Cynderella, A masterful command of the loco scenes here. Thanks for a great undertaking. For my money, I LOVE the mayhem wedding reception ESPECIALLY when the many tiered cake gets flung off its base. I wondered if it was a fake cake or if delicious if anyone reached down to grab a bite observing carefully the "3 minute rule on wedding cake on the floor"
The Tochito or what ever brand scene was one of the best in the midst of the proceedings.
Well it was all too perfect and I loved Cynderella's cinematic realism take on what each of these imbeciles was really feeling. Carmina's expressions are getting great too like Alfonsina's. Don Lucio's wicket witch pronouncement that Carmina was going to be sad, and alone, alone, alone. She has run off an army of disillusioned people.
Gabino's medieval looking helmut bandage and the muscular shoulder falling out of the hospital gown was tempting in a sick kind of way. He sure is purdy though. I am liking Ramona putting the screws to his head though, he so deserves retribution from her for destroying her beautiful Remedios but there will be no remedy for this one. I bet the lovely Paloma will be dismayed to learn for sure that he is her papa. Maybe she can get together with her sulkier than thou half brother. Everyone in the cast was just super in this episode.

By the way, Martaivette, I know you've seen Cañaveral so I have to ask your opinion on the way they turned Gael into a cheater here and did not developed Elisa and Gael's relationship.
This was such a conflicting mess in Cañaveral because while I was a firm Pablo/Julia shipper, I also liked Julia/Juan de Dios and I felt Julia HAD romantic feelings for Juan de Dios and was actually looking forward to be married to him at this point. Which of course explains her anger at getting kidnapped so much better, she had made her choice and she has content with it, happy even. Juan de Dios was devastated, he was a great guy and he was finally getting to be with the woman he had been devoted and in love with all his life, he deserved happiness and it was taken away from him in an instant by the guy who used to be his best friend. Pablo knew he was being selfish but he was just so desperate here to get Julia back, so heartbroken himself to the thought she could be with someone else that he broke my heart too, during the beach scenes he was tired and afraid but stubborn in his desperation.
By contrast, I just don't feel any sympathy towards Gael, he cheated on his supposed great love. Elisa never seemed to care all that much for him anyway, they barely kissed or touched or had any interactions at all so she was just stopped from a life of unhappiness due to choices made on a whim. Damián was given all the justifications for what he did, even the way Zepeda played the scenes at the beach (so self assured, convinced he made the right choice) let us know as an audience that this was an event to be cheered on.
I don't know, I sort of feel they just took all the complexity of the scene and simplified it so we'd always know the couple to root for.
I did like Flor's revelation here, she got a much better storyline than Gina, who just got stood up by Pablo. However, I would have lost alot of respect for Pablo if he had been tricked into thinking Gina was pregnant with his baby.

Thanks Cynderella...I missed this episode. Getting to see grandchildren trumped a lollapalooza episode but figured I could count on you to make the recap riveting and you did. Especially enjoyed "hit the bricks", "at full Flo Jo speed" and "am I overthinking this?"
And I can personally say that if Gabino ever kidnapped you, I'd NEVER call the cops, but might munch on some tostachos, cheese and guacamole as consolation for being left out. And I say,Enjoy m'dear...you deserve a little Gabino joy after all these wickedly funny recaps of yours.

Cynderella, amiga I was SO looking forward to this episode and your recap. Let me just say I was immensely satisfied with both. Your recap made the episode even better and funnier than it was. (And it was pretty dam good and funny.)
My favorite Cynderism: "I don’t think Gall heard him because he didn’t confess that he had sex with the chick sitting on the back pew." Bwahahahaaa! Way to tell it like it is!
I loved the way Lolita flicked Carmina in the face with her shawl on her way out the door to the wedding. Also loved how Paolo looked all pithed off behind Flor after she made her announcement to Alfonsina. This episode had all sorts of little nuances and facial expressions that made it one of Abismo's best episodes so far.
Vivi and others, thank you for mentioning the inconsistencies during the wedding and beach scenes. They were just weird and really had me scratching my head.
ITA with Katy that this episode must have been part of the original finale. EJ, too funny about Tostachos paying. Um...hellyeah.
Blanca Guerra rocks. So does Altair. Their scenes together were amazing.
Cynderella, thanks again for working so hard to do the recap. It's a real tour de force.

Thanks, Cynders! This was such a great recap. You are so funny the way you point things out like "Ramona wants to give him (Damian) some final mumbo jumbo advise..." and "sprinting in hills like full Flo-Jo". So delightful!

LOVED this recap, Cyn, and LOVED the title!
LOVED how Fina was practically having the world's worse meltdown throughout the whole episode. HUGE kudos to the actress. I was thoroughly entertained and found that I had subconsciously teleported myself over to the Alfonsina table...
LOVED how Dam Dumb was dumbfounded at himself for falling for Princess Pea's fake baby when he already fell for it ONCE BEFORE. Why so surprised, Dam? We weren't.
LOVED Paolo telling Sabby about his and Flo's baby plot. In no uncertain terms.
LOVED Elisa's little dress on her with the white pumps. Her makeup and hair were beautiful. Wish Gall would grow his shadow beard back.
LOVED Flo in that form-fitting Confession Red dress, and LOVED what she did in it. Though she's pretty lucky to still be alive. Fina would have ripped her limb from limb if not for Douchebag running interference.
I think Dam with the gun was a bit of overkill. At no moment did I really believe he would shoot anyone at that wedding. I mean c'mon. He's the hero of this thing. (Although, not having sex for six months, well... )
OMG, I cracked up at Gall running across that lawn trying to catch up with a horse, on foot. Really, dude? LMAO
Cyn said: If I am ever kidnapped at gun point by a psychopath, no matter how cute he looks in his white tux….please notify the FBI, the CIA, the Federales, Scotland Yard, Sherlock Holmes, Batman, and Columbo. You will know I was kidnapped by a psycho because he kidnapped me with a gun. Do not stop to munch on some guac, cheese and delicious Tostachos until AFTER a call to the KGB has been made. And I totally lost it. LOL! N-i-c-e.
Just put the gun down, Elisa. You ain't gonna intentionally shoot Dam Fine any more than he was going to shoot Gall. Just fall into his arms already, will ya?
Boy, I enjoyed all of this every bit as much as seeing ING go six feet under. Thumbs up.
Well, time to read some comments. Good morning, Caray mates! :)

LOVED Flo in that form-fitting Confession Red dress, and LOVED what she did in it. Though she's pretty lucky to still be alive. Fina would have ripped her limb from limb if not for Douchebag running interference.
I think Dam with the gun was a bit of overkill. At no moment did I really believe he would shoot anyone at that wedding. I mean c'mon. He's the hero of this thing. (Although, not having sex for six months, well... )
OMG, I cracked up at Gall running across that lawn trying to catch up with a horse, on foot. Really, dude? LMAO
Cyn said: If I am ever kidnapped at gun point by a psychopath, no matter how cute he looks in his white tux….please notify the FBI, the CIA, the Federales, Scotland Yard, Sherlock Holmes, Batman, and Columbo. You will know I was kidnapped by a psycho because he kidnapped me with a gun. Do not stop to munch on some guac, cheese and delicious Tostachos until AFTER a call to the KGB has been made. And I totally lost it. LOL! N-i-c-e.
Just put the gun down, Elisa. You ain't gonna intentionally shoot Dam Fine any more than he was going to shoot Gall. Just fall into his arms already, will ya?
Boy, I enjoyed all of this every bit as much as seeing ING go six feet under. Thumbs up.
Well, time to read some comments. Good morning, Caray mates! :)
Huh? Well... I've seen that style of wedding dress in plenty of places. What was wrong with it? A sweet, young, carefree, country girl getting married casually outside... I mean it wasn't supposed to be black tie and tails at 7. It certainly wasn't my taste, but I thought it was very "Elisa."
Wasn't the gun in Dam's waistband, and she snatched it from there while he was off guard?
Yeah, the continuity needed a huge re-do. LOL!
Cannot believe Paolo is out of the hoosegow!

"I loved the way Lolita flicked Carmina in the face with her shawl on her way out the door to the wedding."
That was the best part of that scene. I was LOL.
Elisa's "wedding" dress looked more like a cocktail dress. Seriously, fellow beanie-hat-wearers, I think white cowgirl boots would have done very nicely with that dress. Really.
Elisa coulda snatched the gun from Dam on the ride, but where was she hiding it while she was flouncing around the tide line? We know there's no extra room in the top. Maybe she had the insight to put in a garter-holster.

Or maybe all telenovela wedding dresses come with one. They should.

i haven't even read yet what i am sure i will enjoy with my morning coffee, Cynd's recap.
but had to mention a couple things...
did anyone else notice that when Elisa and Lolita went by Carmina on their way out to the wedding, Lolita swung her stole at Carmina's face? reminded me of Betty la fea scenes and Patricia's character there...
anyway, back to Abismo..
someone quoted Cynderella's recap on "I don’t think Gall heard him because he didn’t confess that he had sex with the chick sitting on the back pew."
i was going to also mention that, that the 'I confess' prayer states about confessing to sins of thought, word (voiced), action and omission... and Gael fits the bill in all four, doesn't he?
And to answer Jarocha's question... we know that the actor playing Braulio here played Gael's character in CdeP. imagine a Gael with Braulio's almost sin-less personality and that is what i would have pictured here and what we had before Damian, and especially Ingrid, showed up in his life. I believe learning about Ingrid being his mother and his image of Padre Loopy falling from teh pedestal since he had lied to him all his life is what sort of pushed Gael toward the dark side.
So i can easily picture a mix of Braulio and the good side of Gael. I would never have imagined in a million years the way they damaged/transformed the Gael character in the last 2 dozen episodes or so.
on to read the fab recap from cynd.

The Gael character is really quite a jerk. My mind is in dire conflict with the last character I saw this actor play (LHDM). THAT is *my* biggest problem with Gael. LOL
I really need to mentally put some other actor's face on the Gael body, like .... Roberto Palazuelos, or David Zepeda. Then I can honestly dislike Gael.

anorexic Florencia (with huge boobies) ... Indeed! that red dress made the waist look slimmer and her boobies look even larger.
all kinds of derogatory names that rhyme with door and itch and tramp ... yeah! that!
Flo told Dam the divorce papers were already signed by Flo, all Dam needs to do is sign and send them back to be a 'free man'.
When Padre and Paloma arrived at the outdoor 'church', She seemed to tell him silently she was going to stop them but he nodded no at her, and quietly made her sit with him.
The obstacle course Alfie ran through, including throwing her fan and pushing down the wedding cake, was a hoot!!
my question is why does she get so anxious about Dam taking the gun if SHE HERSELF GAVE IT TO HIM!!
is the horse name really Silver? beautiful it is!
Damien wonders why no one is responding! “Am I speaking English? Why is everyone looking at me like I have a problem?” ROFLOL!! good one!
I have to agree on how hot Dam looked when he pulled the gun on Gall...
Like a woman in love and willing to die for her man, Elisa jumps behind Gall and uses him as a human shield. ROFLOL! I could not have said it better myself.
Damien ...explains that his feet hurt, he’s having a bad day, he hasn’t had sex in six months and he’s ready to explode!
I LOVED how everyone seemed to freeze as Elisa walked over toward the horse, even Loopy and Lucio let off a bit of the stronghold on Gall... and then when Padre got down to his knees in helplessness and said 'My God.. Cain and Abel'... Lucio looked to him as if he was worried Loopy had been posessed ...
don’t understand why Florencia got so offended. She is about the only one in the whole novella who knows who her parents are! ... lol good point!... other than Sabrina, she is the only one in that generation who does know!
Realizing she has just earned an additional seven years of bad luck, ... lol! not that she needs to add on to that...
Gabby blinks first. LOL good one!
what he has to do ... pay double... i think. and continue being her 'maton'/eraser on request.
when Alfie said that she was afraid history would repeat, Loopy was mad and barked at her not to bring that up again.
will we see 'Remedios' appear when Gabino passes? a la Amor real? what do you all think? was he really in love with her?
Mrs. Kravitz said, If Agosto were alive, he would have probably shot Dam with the rifle again.
I thought i heard what she said was that if Agosto were alive, he would have shot HIMSELF again... and this made Carmina upset instantly since it reminded her of one of her murders.
After watching the episode, I will be heading over to get some as well. somehow i got that craving too... lol
gives her the loving head butt. ... lol yeah their love connection seems to be via the forehead... although, in the case of these two, to do that you need to be touching in other place(s) too, right?

I too agree that this Gael, ready for battle, is a little bit easier to swallow than the Gael we have had the last two weeks, but i still want MY GAEL to come back, the Gael who helped Ing with her ankle, who helped Kenya when she had the accident, who came back to help Dam with his blood, who would have those really moving scenes with Loopy (although we had one of those friday night), who would go to any means to help Augie with CA... i want THAT Gael back... although i know the damage is done and we might get Gael to recover some, but not all of his old self.
marta - I doubt Gabino truly loved Remedios at the time. (I doubt Gabino is capable of love, except love of money.)
Over time, though, after the questionable women he has taken up with (Ingrate, Carmina, who-knows-who-else), Remedios was a saint and he now finally appreciates what he had, and lost.

This is great, Cynderella. I look forward to your wickedly funny recaps each week. How are you liking your lobotomized Gabino?
I have a huge amount of sympathy for Alfonsina. She has so many flaws and yet she honestly felt that she was always doing the best things for her family.
She is selfish but has seen herself as selfless and sacrificing.
She has been malicious but has seen herself as loving and fair.
I think she has always been aware of her arrogance but has felt entitled and justified in that arrogance.
She was treated shabbily by Rosendo of whom I can see no redeeming qualities.
Much like Augusto, she was a victim who ended up victimizing.
I was so hoping that she would end up being an avenging angel, but at least it looks as though she will find redemption.

Cynderella, once again I marvel at your rollicking wit. Masterful recap.
What an entertaining episode. "¡Dispárame, dispara!" took me right back to my very first telenovela, Amar Sin Límites.
Elisa's and Gael's wedding was so delightfully pitiful. "Let's spread the chairs WAY out...a mile from the altar...with an aisle wider than the Red Sea...and some extra rows of floofy flower poles...and twice as many chairs as we have guests...then it will look like we're REALLY popular and our wedding is a BIG DEAL, and no one will notice that we have hardly any friends."
I thought Elisa took the gun from Dam right then whilst he was clutching her, but it wasn't shown. I like the idea of a garter holster. Every bride in Telenovelalandia should have one. Are they in stock at Abismart?

Carlos, I like that phrase...
a victim who ended up victimizing.
Julia, i also was amazed at the spread out set up at the outdoor church... and i agree that she took the gun right before she pointed it at him, as he was holding her face in his hands.

Marta, thanks for reminding us that Braulio played the Gael part before. I bet he was amazing.
How Cynders said Alfie = FloJo... I just watched the episode and must say Girlfriend sure can run in those heels!
My favorite moment was also Lolita flicking the scarf in Orange's face. She's wanted to do that for years!

I bet that gun isn't even loaded, which Dam would know very well. Nice try, Elisa.
So, just like in Amar Sin Límites, the hero has kidnapped his lady love from her wedding and whisked her away to a hut on the beach. (How far did they make that poor horse carry them? La Ermita can't be THAT close to the beach if they don't regularly go there.) Too bad Dam isn't a tailor like Diego was...how's he going to refashion Elisa's wedding dress into sexy beachwear?

I think that Dam had the gun in his pants and Elisa grabbed it when he head-butted her.
I don't like Gabby as an Oxy popper. That humming is annoying; however, I will still stick by him when he takes his shirt off.
Julia, Dam Fine hasn't had six in 6 months. I think that he's interested in seeing her in swimwear, but we shall see.

PS. Julia, I meant to say that I DON'T think he cares about her wearing swimwear. Hopefully, we'll get some good shots of him wearing less than swimwear. For recapping purposes of course.
Thanks everyone for your kind comments!
Thanks everyone for your kind comments!
P.S.P.S. I don't have cable. I have an annoying HD antennae that picks up EVERY Mexican channel in Mexico. I've been watching Amores Verdades (or something like that). Eduardo Yanez (is that his name?) is cute, but the show is dumb. Please let's not recap it and simply tell everyone that we did. Like Elisa, the lead actress cries constantly AND she screams Auxillio!!! in EVERY episode. Yanez takes his clothes off, but well...he ain't no Dam Fine or Gabino. OK. I'm done.
Cynderella, I think Amores Verdaderos is what we're getting to replace Abismo -- I was kind of planning on watching it for Rullí, but not if it's super-tonta.
In any case, I'm batting .000 on things I think I'm going to like before they start, so I guess I'll just cross that bridge when I come to it. Probably take a straw poll of Caraymates and just jump into the middle of something...

Ay, not another bawl baby! We want a strong heroine! We want a strong heroine!
And when is this change expected? Are we in Fin Semanas yet?
I think Alfi began on the long path to acceptance of Elisa this episode, although she doesn't know it yet . That has to signify some wrapping up.

ROFLOL!!! Amores Verdaderos (or whatever it is) on Looneyvision may be when I take a break from watching telenovelas and watch Cafe con Aroma de Mujer.

Blue Lass - if this ends in six weeks, we should be getting Ultimas Semanas announcements soon. or now.
Carlos, on Alfonsina, I guess we must return to our historic novela Caray relationship, me acupuncturist, you patient! (The drinks were great while they lasted!) While I have predicted it here many times, I’m having problems with Alfie’s redemption, she set Augusto’s barn on fire (arson) and treated her employee, Gabino like a “lap dog” for years (snobby witch!) and much more.......I need a super intense forgiveness session with JudyB and quickly, before Las Ultimas Semanas!!
My only true emotion of the entire novela was when Florencia returned the amulets plus her manilla envelope.....WITH LOVE.... to Damian, I felt a tear or two well up in my eyes!
Cyn and all the other recappers last week, your humor, turn of phrase and illuminations are the highlight of everyday (besides my grandsons of course!) .....gracias.......

Doris, according to Wikipedia there are 161 episodes, with the last one being two hours, and also some kind of "rumbo al gran final" that sounds like a Super Bowl Pregame Show. So surely we'll be done by Hallowe'en...

One more thing...from Cyn's recap......" Ramona wants to give him [Damian} some final mumbo jumbo advice before he recites his vows.
I looked up the definition of "mumbo jumbo" .........1. Language or ritual causing or intending to cause confusion or bewilderment" This is best description of the basic intent of a character EVER.

Also the basic result -- as Dam does indeed always seem confused and bewildered.

Yeah, like Marta said, the Dam question, "Am I speaking English?" was indeed a LOL. And he did look amazingly HAWT during that moment. Hm.
Add my yes vote to the Please Give Us Back Our Original Gael suggestion box. I really hate what they've done to him. Really. And I'd been hoping that he and Elisa didn't get hitched, because he ain't no Flo, once it was legal there was NO WAY IN HELL for Elisa to be single again without some fatal Anvil falling on Gall's head.
Lordy, what is going to happen tonight...

I sent today's recap in a couple of hours ago, not sure what's up. If no one I sent it to is able to post it, can someone else?
Carlos, make sure you add the 'abismo' label to it so it will show up in the abismo list. i was not able to label it for you.
