Abismo de pasión #121 8/31/12: Of Course She Said Yes! Did You See the Size of That Ring?
Sorry so late. I didn't have any ccs, so I had to really concentrate. There may be some mistakes that I will correct later.
Casa de Arango Florencia’s Bedroom: Alfonsina plunges a knitting needle into Florencia’s prosthetic belly! Florencia’s deception has been discovered! Damien, Enrique and Ramona observe the heated confrontation. Help me! I love you, Enrique! Whew! It was only a dream! Florencia wipes the sweat from her brow, only to discover Alfonsina, sitting beside her bed, has been watching her sleep.
Casa de Mickey and Mallory Foyer: Gabby points a pistol at Gall (let’s hope he uses it). Ingrid pleads with Gabby not to shoot her son. She begs Elisa to take Gall outside. As soon as they leave, Ingrid joyfully leaps into Gabby arms.
Mansion of Mickey and Mallory Porch: Gael wants to go back in and rescue Ingrid. Elisa, who’s thinking, doesn’t believe it’s a good idea to confront a psycho who’s holding a pistol. Gael wants to know if she has weapons at her house.
Casa de Arango Florencia’s Bedroom: Alfonsina wants to know why Florencia was screaming Enrique’s name in her sleep. Alfonsina tells Florencia that Enrique knocked up Paloma. Alfonsina tells Florencia that Alfonsina will be her worst nightmare; don’t piss her off. She’s only being nice to Florencia because she’s preggers, but once she drops that fake babyload…it’s on! Florencia tells her mother-in-law not to ever come into her room uninvited again. She forgot to lock the door, but that won’t happen again. Alfonsina tells Florencia that she has a key to her bedroom. Florencia didn’t forget to lock the door.
Casa de Mickey and Mallory Foyer: Ingrid is pleased that their plan is going so well. She credits Gabby with getting Gall to refer to her as mommy for the first time. She’s certain that Gall is beginning to love her and will share his fortune with her. Gabby decides to take advantage of her appreciation and asks to be thanked horizontally.
Church Office: Ramona is visiting Padre Lupe. She doesn’t want Paloma to suffer like Paloma's mother did. Ramona tells Lupe to try to stop his transfer because Alfonsina will soon need him like never before. Lupe says “ditto”. Paloma will need Ramona soon as well. Ramona knows that Lupe knows about the baby.
Casa de Dr. Tovar: Enrique tells his father that he wants to marry Paloma. He doesn’t want Paloma getting a bad reputation in La Ermita. He believes his mother has already started the “Paloma’s A PG Tramp” rumor. Dr. Tovar says that Paloma is a great chick, but marriage is a big step. Dr. Tovar believes a loveless marriage will not work. Enrique disagrees. He’s in love with Florencia and she is married to Damien. Gall is marrying Elisa and Paloma loves Gall. Paloma doesn’t have a future with Gall, says Enrique. Right now, they are both bummed, but Enrique thinks that the two of them can be happy together. Dr. Tovar goes out to the shed and comes back with a wheelbarrow that contains a frickin’ boulder. It was the ring that Dr. Tovar was going to use to propose to Ingrid with. Enrique wants to know why his father is giving him the ring instead of giving it to Ingrid. Dr. Tovar says that his relationship with Ingrid is complicated.
Casa de Castanon Front Yard: After months of trying, Dolores has finally convinced Braulio that he is stalking her, when it is clearly the other way around. Braulio, who is as dumb as a rock, doesn’t realize that he is being manipulated by a woman who’s merely pretending to be demure. He begins his speech outlining the reasons they should rekindle their former relationship. “Fourscore and seven years ago…” Dolores impatiently listens; her milk is already in the bag. He rambles on and on! “Hence forthwith…” Dolores breathes heavily; her cream is curdling! Hoping to send him a subliminal message, Dolores stares hungrily at his lips, as she struggles to remain coy and ladylike. “And in conclusion….” Finally, he’s done! She agrees and cleans his tonsils with her tongue. Triumphantly, she touches her lips! However, her celebration is short-lived when he acts as a gentleman should and bids her goodnight at the door.
Casa de Castanon/Casa de Mickey and Mallory: Gall is still in a rage. He’s looking for Agosto’s shotgun (Yes, that’s what I said! He’s looking for the shotgun that Agosto, his fiance’s father, used to “commit suicide”). Elisa, his fiancé, tells him that the police confiscated it for evidence; they still have it. I am so disturbed! Dolores enters. Elisa tries calming him down. She tells him that Gabby is very violent. The phone rings; it’s Ingid. Over the Casa of the Natural Born Killers (OIiver Stone Movie), shirtless, Gabby watches time pass through an hourglass. Gabby, who can make any dull action look good with his shirt off, sexily concentrates on sand falling from the bottom to the top. Next week, I would like to see him watching paint dry or grass grow as long as he’s shirtless. Ingrid convinces Gael not to go after Gabby or not to call the police. They don’t want to piss him off more. When Gabby goes to work tomorrow, Gall will pick her up and take her somewhere safe.
Witch Mountain: Enrique and Dr. Tovar have arrived pushing the wheelbarrow containing the ring. Enrique asks for Paloma’s hand in marriage. His words are so kind, that Paloma begins to cry. When he presents her with the blinding, formerly celestial object, Paloma immediately looks away in order to protect her corneas from the glow. Misinterpreting Paloma’s gaze in her direction as asking for her permission, Ramona tells Paloma that she must make her own decision about marrying Enrique. Paloma says yes and Enrique places it on her finger. She’s going to need an armed escort. You’re a great man, she says. I’ve never seen a rock this big in my life, she thinks. You had me at the ring! The doctor suggests that he and Ramona give them some alone time.
Casa de Castanon Elisa’s Bedroom: Elisa tells Dolores that Gabby pulled a gun on Gall (but he didn’t shoot him as I had hoped he would). Dolores tells Elisa that Ingrid was looking for her yesterday. She thought it was odd that Ingrid did not remove her sunglasses. Elisa explained that Gabby had knocked the snot out of Ingrid. Dolores is shocked to find out that Gabby beats women. All this time she thought that he was a fine upstanding citizen.
Casa de Arango Alfonsina’s Office: The phone rings. It’s Gabby on the other end of the line. He continues to remain shirtless and he is doing a great job at it! He wants Alfonsina to stop by his ranch in the morning. As he speaks, he fondles a hideous horse lamp. Alfonsina tells Gabby to stop by her house if he wants to talk. He agrees. Once the call has ended, Alfonsina removes a gun from her desk. She puts it back in the case and locks it back in her desk.
Castanon Procedora Board Meeting: Elisa immediately and single-handedly sets the women’s rights movement back thirty years as she enters the office wearing some blue-jean daisy-dukes. Enrique wants to know if Gall is coming. Don Lucio says that Elisa looks distracted. Is anything wrong? I couldn’t sleep last night because yesterday, someone was pointing a gun in my face. Elisa explains that Gall has stuff to do and people to see in the village. Enrique, Braulio and Don Lucio show Elisa the company’s new logo and products. She’s pleased, but she runs out to see Gall. El Yucateco (meaning: pertaining to the Yucatan) is the logo. The men seemed surprised that Elisa is acting self-centered and is not staying for work.
Case de Arango Breakfast Table: Damien wants to know where the hell his wife is. Tonia tells him that Florencia is still in her bedroom. Damien enters her bedroom and sees the wedding gown. He tells her that he needs to talk to her. He wants to know if she is faked knocked up by him or faked knocked up by Enrique. He knows that she is in love with Enrique and not him. She’s not with him for love; she’s with him for the fake baby. He hugs her, but doesn’t seem to feel the prosthetic baby mold. Florencia breathes a sigh of relief.
Baller Casa de Mickey and Mallory: Gabby is sitting in Alfonsina’s office. Gabby wants to know if the check is good because he’s going to Merida to deposit it later. He knows that the Procesadora is broke. Gabby asks if she has considered him becoming a partner in her company. Alfonsina informs Gabby that she knows that he’s tried to kill Damien. She will never do business with him. He threatens to tell Damien everything…starting with the fact that he and Gall are siblings. She tells him that she will have him put in jail. She bluffs by saying that she has proof of his crimes. She challenges him to tell Damien. She and Damien will repair their relationship before Gabby gets out of jail. She tells Gabby to be happy with the money that she gave him to purchase Agosto’s property. Damien walks in and confronts his mother about purchasing Agosto’s property.
Church: Ingrid calls Gall; she has something very important to discuss with him; she wants him to meet her at Gabby’s house.
Casa de Arango Home Office: Gabby explains that Alfonsina wanted to grow her own peppers. Gabby was supposed to represent her. Damien is pissed off that his mother was using Gabby to do her dirty deed. He believes that she was trying to get the property from Elisa. Alfonsina explains that she tried to deceive Agosto fair and square while he was ALIVE. She points out that Agosto would have never sold the property directly to her. Damien leaves in a huff. Alfonsina tells Gabby to run and tell Damien everything while she calls the cops. Gabby tells her that calling the cops will not be necessary. Alfonsina tells him never to call her, look at her or think about an Arango from now on.
Witch Mountain: Ramona tells Paloma that she knows that Enrique did not father her baby. Ramona tells Paloma not to make a bigger mistake. I guessed on this scene. Anyone can chime in!
Casa de Castanon: Elisa is worried about Gall because he is all alone. Dolores is freaking out. The doorbell rings. Gall shows up. He tells her that his mommy wants to talk to him about something important at her house. They leave.
Casa de Arango Kitchen: Florencia wants Tonia to give her the keys to her bedroom. Tonia tells Florencia that Florencia’s a fraud. Tonia regrets lying to Braulio all of those years about him being Vincente’s father. Tonia says that she’s better than Florencia because Tonia feels guilty about her deception. I guessed on this too. Please help!
Casa de Castanon: Damien has stopped by to see Elisa. He needs to discuss something very important with her. Dolores tells Damien that something bad and dangerous is happening. Damien refuses to leave until she tells him everything. She gives in and tells him that there might be a gunfight at the OK Coral today. Gael and Elisa have gone over to Gabby’s house.
Casa de Mickey and Mallory: Carmina has come to check out what should have been her new home. As she walks up the path, she is calling Ingrid every name but a child of God. Gabby isn’t there; but Ingrid opens the door. Ingrid tells Carmina that she knows that Carmina and Gabby are lovers. She also tells Carmina that Gabby is obsessed with having everything that belonged to Rosendo. Ingrid explains that Gabby has her there because she too was Rosendo’s lover, but unlike Carmina; Ingrid’s baby lived. Carmina is shocked and I am impressed with Ingrid’s evilness and audacity.

Thanks so much Cynderella for the Aces recap. I watched half-heartedly last night, so your wonderfully snarky retelling filled in all my blanks--and frankly don't feel like I need ( or want) to rewatch the episode.
"Next week, I would like to see him watching paint dry or grass grow as long as he’s shirtless". Lord help us, watching grass grow may be an improvement over this convoluted mess.
I still keep shaking my head how the writers will make this go for WEEKS yet! At this point since they are looking for ways to drag this all out, maybe they can give us some cooking lessons on the use of habeneros. I'm game.
Almost had to laugh when Gael was looking for that infernal shot-gun. Another one who wants to shoot up the town with no idea how to work the damn thing. Let's see my dear, your mother got gob-smacked and shows the bruises to prove it--how about reporting to the inept police dept instead of landing yourself in jail shooting someone. You kinda sorta would miss your wedding day doing that.
I think Irritating just wrote her death warrant. You can piss off a lot of people, but do NOT mess with Carmina, especially when it comes to a snipe about losing her baby. Can't say I'll be shedding any tears when II meets her maker--question will be, who will do it and who will get blamed. Oh....another trite, frustrating way to drag things out. Someone wrongly accused and we get a lame trial and lots of scenes with the jail again. ARGH!!
I'd like to start a table to salute all the poor slobs working at these failing plants and fields, and at the new processing plant that has a CEO who could care less about running the place. We feel for you.

Cynderella - Great recap! Thank you. My favorite recapper lines:
"Elisa immediately and single-handedly sets the women’s rights movement back thirty years as she enters the office wearing some blue-jean daisy-dukes." Amen, sister!
"Next week, I would like to see him watching paint dry or grass grow as long as he’s shirtless."
;o)
Has Braulio divorced Tonia yet? If not, shame on him for smooching on Dolores.
Has Flo considered that since Dam doubts the paternity of her fake baby, he might have a DNA test done???
I'll be out of town next week and will be relying on the recaps and commentario to keep me up on the plot, which is moving at a snail's pace. I can only hope the GSW (gunshot wound) in the previews is fatal.....

Why are the fine, upstanding men of La Ermita drawn to cold, calculating, cruel, manipulative women with killer instincts?
Alfonsina has not killed anyone (yet), but how can anyone forget she was ready to mow down some children with a car?!
What in the world to these men see in these women? Could someone tell me if these women were also in the original story? Is it usual to have that many horrible women in one story?
Can you imagine what these three would do to each other if they were left alone in a room to fight it out to the bitter end? Holy cow.
Thanks, Cynderella!

Thanks Cynderella, I just love your sense of humor. I loved your description of Lola and Braulio's conversation. Lola wants that man real bad, but since she's a good girl, she wants to go slow.
I think it's time for Alfie to see Horacio again.

Thanks for the recap Cynderella. You did a lot with an episode that was mostly filler.
Your commentary on the ring was golden as were your description of Gall looking for the gun and Lolita being a good girl.
It is sad to see this show becoming more crazy based on its extension. I wish producers would realize how harmful this is to audiences ;)

I'm trying to figure out Ramona's deal. She's told Paloma for years that Gael is not for her, that he doesn't love her, that he doesn't want her, that he's fixated on another.
Ramona knows that Gael is engaged to Elisa but creeping around with Paloma because he knows Paloma puts out while Elisa won't.
Enrique has stepped up to marry Paloma to spare her from the shame of being an unwed mother because unlike Gael, Enrique truly does care for Paloma (even though they're not in love with each other). Now Ramona's discouraging Paloma from marrying Enrique?
What's the deal? Unlike the Damian/Florencia, Gael/Elisa & formerly the Braulio/Tona matches, I think Enrique & Paloma actually could fall in love with each other over time.
Enrique/Paloma is a better match than Paloma/Gael. And Enrique is figuring if he can't be with the one he loves (Florencia) he can at least be with the one he likes (Paloma).

Anon207 - What's the deal? Who knows! The writers have lost it.
All I can figure is now that Ramona knows Flor is not pregnant (and I cannot remember if she knows Flor likes Enrique), maybe she figures Damian will be a free man soon and will pair up with Elisa, and Gael... well,,,, Gael might settle for Paloma, after all, especially since he is the father of P's baby.

Cynderella, another gem of a recap! In addition to all the funny comments that have been noted, I loved your comments about wishing II would pull the trigger on "Gall"! Sooo funny.
Doris, I thought I heard Braulio (in his "Four-score speech!) say that he was "free" now. Does that mean he got a divorce? Marta? Vivi? Does anyone know?
Blue: In the avances, Gabby got a gunshot right in the forehead. But then it looked like he woke up, Friday the 13th style.
I'll be bummed if Jay Gatsby, I mean Gabino, gets bumped off this soon. At least he's interesting unlike Gall, Elisa, II. Even Damian's become boring and he always used to heat up the screen.
Thanks for the awesome recap. It's the highlight of my Saturday!

Blue, in avances, as Katy said, Gabby got shot in the head. By Ingrid. Then Dam comes busting in hacienda and takes the gun away from Ing, so Dam is holding gun as Elisa and Gael enter, saying Dam, what did you do? ["que hiciste"?]
Gab is muttering "Ingrid."
Then Doc T. is seen pronouncing Gab's still alive ["sigue vivo"].
Cyn, you always deliver, big time. Thanks!

"What's the deal? "
Because in the lazy world of some TN writers, you decide the "perfect" couples by episode 5 of 150. Then you mess with plots, turn characters upside down ( like Ramona) and then when you get to episode 145-150 you suddenly make it all fall into place that the "perfect" couples really do belong togther and everyone smiles. Horse hockey.
I would like to argue that Ramona, as much as she can be cool at times, should know as a parent the more you sometimes tell your kids not to do something with no good reasoning why, the more tempted they are to try it. She has for far too long criped that Gael was wrong for Pal, but never spelled out really why. And maybe telling the girl the truth about her mother may have helped her choose more wisely. Just saying.
I think the PSA for this TN should be "How NOT to parent."

Cynderella, always a delight. Thank you. Great description of Braulio's and Lolita's interaction.
If Ramona really wanted to keep Paloma away from Gael, why didn't she suggest to her years ago that they could be brother and sister? I mean, neither of them knows who their father is, it's a small town... wouldn't have been that hard to plant the idea in her head and let it drive her romantic thoughts away from Gael. And it wouldn't have been impossible...Ramona doesn't know who Gael's father is, does she? And who could be sure that Ingrid was sure or was telling the truth?
I did like that Ramona told Paloma that she's been a blessing in her life, not a burden. I got the feeling Paloma has always felt rather unwanted. Paloma and Enrique could probably be pretty happy together if they moved far away from his mother.

Cynderella you are just the funniest ever. And I'm with you on just watching Gabino (shirtless) play with an hourglass or watch paint dry and grass grow. And you know what? the writers have figured that out also. They're giving us more and more Gabino shirtless, or caramba! in just his black skivvies, as one of the more enjoyable ways to extend this lamentable tale.
Also just adored your riff on Lolita's secret milk-churning thoughts and that wheelbarrow/boulder engagement ring rant! You are truly an original and, not to sound like Ramona but...truly a blessing!
Thanks,crazy lady, you don't need no friggin' closed captions to write a dynamite recap.

Hi, Cynderella! Thanks for your fine recap on this busy Holiday weekend. You gave us your amusing take on "a show about nothing".
I LOL with your image of Doc Tovat needing a wheelbarrow to carry the engagement ring—great visual there. If Paloma has a lick of sense she will marry QuiQue, and possibly lived contentedly ever after. But, as we all know, Paloma is being written and played as weaker than ever so she is not likely to do anything sensible or mature.
I don't know about Ingrid taunting Carmina the killer Orange about losing Rosendo's son. Oooweee! If anything is ever going to make Carmina take action against Ingrid, that will.
Thanks again for a fine recap, Cynderella.Hope you enjoy the Holiday Weekend.

Off-topic anecdote for Talismaniacs: Last night I was doing stuff on the computer while I had the Latin Pop music channel on in the background. Suddenly I found myself laughing and I didn't know why. It took me a few seconds to realize that the "Me Voy" song from El Tal was playing. Pavlovian response.
Too funny, Julia. It was painful in many ways, but every time I remember El Tal, I have to smile...

Wow, Cynderella, thanks much for this great recap with wonderful wittyisms. Lack of captions doesn't hurt you at all! :)
Now, let's see here...
Well, when Princess Pea's fake baby comes to light, Dam Dumb is really the least of her worries. That just might be when Fina snaps and joins the Order of Natural Born Killers and takes her out. Accidentally, of course. Just a thought.
And speaking of said fake baby, I cannot believe that Dam hugged the heifer and didn't for even a second think something felt weird. If Flo's got some kind of state of the art fake baby prosthesis made with the finest engineering and techniques and materials, well, okay. But if it's like foam or something... even through clothes, a pillow ain't gonna feel like flesh and blood. Good grief.
I hate Agent Orange with a passion, but ING is just... I just can't even stand to look at her. Voluntarily taking a punch and effing up her face for an evil plot? And getting turned on by it? Somebody needs to put this chick down for good. (If GABINO doesn't expire, it might well be him to do that, now.)
What a shame Pal's baby isn't Enrique's. *sigh*
I really don't see the big deal with Elisa not wearing business clothes to the office, only because of the setting of this story. I haven't seen ANYONE wearing business clothes to the office in this town. In fact, they all wear the same thing to the office that they wear at home. (It's not like they're heading up Merrill Lynch in Manhattan, they're in the country, growing and shipping crops, doing small town doctoring, small town policing, etc.) She's pretty much following everybody else's lead, wearing what's in her closet, and nobody has bothered to school her about it and teach her better. (This is where Estefy would have come in handy, had she lived.) So... *shrug* Has she even been out of Ermitaville in her life? Too bad Blanca died early on... she would have been a good mentor for Elisa to look up to. Heck, I would think that, even though she's not a business owner, Lolita might have said something. But obviously not.
(I guess those boots are so much a part of Elisa's character, the only way for her to remove them would be for us to hold the writers down while she blasts them off with a few sticks of dynamite.)
Gall. Oh, Gall. Hopeless. *sigh*
GABINO. Oh, GABINO. You were soooooooo intent on that hour glass, I thought you might either French-kiss it or start making love to it. Dude, I mean! That was something else. Pencil me in, y'all, for a paint-drying/grass-growing session, if you would. (thumbs up to the actor!)
You know, the writers have really let Ramona's "abilities" muddle down into a big pile of confusion, to where you just don't know what's what. What a waste of a really valuable character.
Gawww. When Fina pulled her gun out, all I could think was, what a BIG AZZ REVOLVER. !!!
If Agent Orange doesn't try to punch the taste out of ING's mouth for that crack about her kid, I'll be surprised.
Yeah, what Anon said! Why are so many crazy heifers in one story?
Urgh, this filler has got to go. *shaking my head*
My favorite Cynderella wittyism of the recap... Braulio's Four Score and Seven Years Ago speech. ROFLMAO! Awesome.
Laters, mates. :)

And speaking of said fake baby, I cannot believe that Dam hugged the heifer and didn't for even a second think something felt weird. If Flo's got some kind of state of the art fake baby prosthesis made with the finest engineering and techniques and materials, well, okay. But if it's like foam or something... even through clothes, a pillow ain't gonna feel like flesh and blood. Good grief.
I hate Agent Orange with a passion, but ING is just... I just can't even stand to look at her. Voluntarily taking a punch and effing up her face for an evil plot? And getting turned on by it? Somebody needs to put this chick down for good. (If GABINO doesn't expire, it might well be him to do that, now.)
What a shame Pal's baby isn't Enrique's. *sigh*
I really don't see the big deal with Elisa not wearing business clothes to the office, only because of the setting of this story. I haven't seen ANYONE wearing business clothes to the office in this town. In fact, they all wear the same thing to the office that they wear at home. (It's not like they're heading up Merrill Lynch in Manhattan, they're in the country, growing and shipping crops, doing small town doctoring, small town policing, etc.) She's pretty much following everybody else's lead, wearing what's in her closet, and nobody has bothered to school her about it and teach her better. (This is where Estefy would have come in handy, had she lived.) So... *shrug* Has she even been out of Ermitaville in her life? Too bad Blanca died early on... she would have been a good mentor for Elisa to look up to. Heck, I would think that, even though she's not a business owner, Lolita might have said something. But obviously not.
(I guess those boots are so much a part of Elisa's character, the only way for her to remove them would be for us to hold the writers down while she blasts them off with a few sticks of dynamite.)
Gall. Oh, Gall. Hopeless. *sigh*
GABINO. Oh, GABINO. You were soooooooo intent on that hour glass, I thought you might either French-kiss it or start making love to it. Dude, I mean! That was something else. Pencil me in, y'all, for a paint-drying/grass-growing session, if you would. (thumbs up to the actor!)
You know, the writers have really let Ramona's "abilities" muddle down into a big pile of confusion, to where you just don't know what's what. What a waste of a really valuable character.
Gawww. When Fina pulled her gun out, all I could think was, what a BIG AZZ REVOLVER. !!!
If Agent Orange doesn't try to punch the taste out of ING's mouth for that crack about her kid, I'll be surprised.
Yeah, what Anon said! Why are so many crazy heifers in one story?
Urgh, this filler has got to go. *shaking my head*
My favorite Cynderella wittyism of the recap... Braulio's Four Score and Seven Years Ago speech. ROFLMAO! Awesome.
Laters, mates. :)
Thank you for the recap Cynderella. Your recaps are always hilarious.
I'll probably never understand the attractiveness of Gabino but I love all the comments about him.
"Heck, I would think that, even though she's not a business owner, Lolita might have said something. But obviously not."
I know Eugenia Cauduro doesn't look like someone of poor education (her modeling years left her certain sophistication that is hard to get rid off) but her character, as written, wouldn't know anything about office protocol. And anyway, it is true people dress however they want to work in the more tropical states of Mexico, little dressing ettiquete is used at all, especially in family business like the Arango's and Elisa's.
Anyway, yesterday was the finale in Mexico and I realized that I'm finally at peace with this novela. At first, it was a nice attempt to capture the original (the first 15 to 20 episodes were very close), then they tried to do their own thing for a while and changed many things and added new things while also trying to go back to certain points but it was hard to maintain the pace and at the end the writers just seemed to let themselves go and let things go crazy.
I learned that, if I was willing to accept the fact that the main characters were a bit stupid and just not all that likeable, this could actually be a fun romp. And I did enjoy it for what it was.

Cynderella, sorry this is so late but...
Witch Mountain: Ramona tells Paloma that she knows that Enrique did not father her baby. Ramona tells Paloma not to make a bigger mistake.
what Ramona was saying was that Paloma should not rush to marry Enrique, that things might change and not turn out as expected (referring to the marriages of Dam/Flo and Gael/Elisa of course... since she got a hint from Flo that she would not end up marrying Dam and thus maybe Dam would prevent Elisa marrying Gael... Ramona does suspect Gael is the father of Paloma's baby... so she is trying to prevent Paloma from marrying Enrique and then later on things turn out that Gael does NOT marry Elisa after all.
Casa de Arango Kitchen: Florencia wants Tonia to give her the keys to her bedroom. Tonia tells Florencia that Florencia’s a fraud. Tonia regrets lying to Braulio all of those years about him being Vincente’s father. Tonia says that she’s better than Florencia because Tonia feels guilty about her deception.
Basically Tonia was comparing her situation of many years ago with deceiving Braulio with Flo's currently deceiving Dam with Enrique... I guess Flo suspects Enrique might be FLo's child's daddy... so Tonya said at least she has come to face her mistakes and is now paying with her loneliness... she is telling Flo basically, look at how bad it went for me, don't make the same mistake. come clean with Dam.

Thanks for chiming in with additional recap, Marta. :)
Jarocha, I appreciate the info on family business dress in the more tropical parts of Mexico. That's where my brain was at, but it's good to actually know.
Wow, ABISMO's over down there... We should be coming down to the wire soon ourselves, then. Here's to Falling Anvils and Happy Endings!
