Refugio Para el Amor #127 Thu 10/4/12 Time For Me to Fly*
* This is the chorus of the song "Time for Me To Fly", by Reo Speedwagon that so fit this epi.
Time for me to fly
Oh, I've got to set myself free
Time for me to fly
That's just how its got to be
I know it hurts to say goodbye
But its time for me to fly.
Torreslanda Bidness, Luci's Office:
We start this evening with Luci and Vio in Luci's office and Luci is sad Rod the Bod is going to Canada, maybe forever. Luci still loves and misses him so much. About this time, Pato is outside the office and hears the convo between Luci and Vio and he hears Luci is leaving to go back to Het Het he looks so sad. Vio reminds Luci ,Rod the Bod is still the Papa of this bebe. Luci says she misses him, her Mushashon. Pato finally comes into the room and tells Luci he is leaving for therapy.
Taco Stand Corner, Torreslanda Hood
Fabian and Lorenzo are cleaning the taco stand corner with some brooms. Lorenzo is still very happy that Hanna and Boris broke up. He would love to have given Hanna a hug and a kiss. Lorenzo is so happy in fact, he is kinda dancing with his broom! Lorenzo tells Fabian he doesn't think he is good enough for Hanna. Fabian so doesn't agree and thinks Lor and Hanna are so right for each other. Lorenzo finally agrees and says you are right. Fabian is now teasing Lorenzo about how much Lorenzo is in lurrrvvve with Hanna. Lorenzo agrees but he wants Hanna to be more than his girlfriend, he wants her to eventually be his wife and the mother of his children, awwww.
Torreslanda Bidness, Max's Office
Hanna has just promised Max that she won't have anything to do with Lorenzo. Hanna looks so sad. Max wants her to go home, but Hanna really doesn't want to and Max will take her home himself. Max really thinks this is for the best, about her and Lorenzo, but Hanna doesn't look convinced.
Torreslanda Bidness, Aldo's Mini Office (Janitor's Closet)
Aldo, the up and coming, executive, er bidness man, er on Tio's main sh!t list right now, is on his cell calling someone and he is flinging his files on his desk around lookin' for something. Now I have to say here, someone's been cleaning the office cause the toilet paper is back where it belongs, on the shelves, and the desk is actually neat, except for Aldo flinging those files around, anyhoo, it's Vicky he's calling and he is aggravated that she isn't picking up the phone already. He leaves her a voice mail and asks her wuz up with her and Osito? Aldo is walking out of his little mini office and runs smack into Hanna and his Tio Max. Max asks Aldo the eternal telenovela question Que Haces Aqui??? Hanna wants to know if this is really Aldo's office, lol. She can't beleive he is really in the Janitor's closet. Max wanted to know why Aldo is in the office, and Aldo tells him he brought Hanna to Torreslanda and Aldo wanted to make sure things in his office were copasetic. Max informs Aldo he will be bringing Hanna home and Aldo should just go. Aldo raises his hands as if in surrender to Max and says he is going. Max and Hanna go.
Torreslanda Bidness, Rod's Office
Gabe and Rod are having a little meeting, discussing Rod's move to Canada. Gabe wants to know if he is going with Rod, Rod says no and Rod tells him Gagme is coming too, but will come back to Mexico to have the bebe. Gabe is surprised that Gagme would come back to have the bebe in Mexico. Rod says of course and Rod will be back in Mexico when she delivers. Good move Rod. Gabe wants Rod to stop by his office before he leaves and shakes Rod's hand. Rod gets a visitor and it's his brother Pato. Pato lets Rod know he is going home, and thinking about maybe coming back in the afternoon. Pato tells Rod he has an opportunity to say good bye to Luci cause she is leaving for Het Het. And Rod is so not down with that. Rod is worried about leaving Luci and the bebe and Rod is depending on Pato to make sure he provides anything little thing they need, but I think Pato tells Rod what they truly need is Rod.
Nicole's Salon
Vicky is talking to Nicole and wants a vacation, she and her Papa Jeronimo need some time away. Nicole doesn't know if she can spare Vicky right now. Vicky informs Nicole she only needs a week. Nicole wants to know if this is really for Osito? Vicky is like of course not, she broke up with Osito and she's never going looking for him again! You go Vicky!!!! Vicky also informs Nicole she is staying away from Aldo too cause Osito didn't like that. Nicole asks if Ostio is that bad? Vicky tells Nicole and how, worse than you can imagine, well you get the drift.
Torreslanda Home, Sitting Room
There is a little meeting between Max, Hanna and Rosa la loca. This meeting concerns Lorenzo Jacinto of course! Rosa la loca doesn't want Hanna anywhere near Lorenzo and poor Hanna looks so depressed. (Note to Hanna- You'll always have your memories, but in a pinch get Aldo to "arrange" another meet). Max says they have reached the limit of Rosa's lunatic rantings and ravings, er, sorry wishful thinking, they have reached an agreement with Hanna. Frigid is in the room too, eagerly listening in and will add this to her endless scribblings in her diary, and Mati comes in and tells them Pato has arrived. Rosa says to give them a minute and Frigid informs la loca that the meal has been planned for Max, Rosa, Hanna and Pato. Hanna is rolling her eyes heavenward. Rosa informs them that soon her grandchild will be lighting up this place and Pato, the wise and wonderful, comes in and asks his loca Mama, and which grandbaby would that be Gagme's or Luci's? Rosa gives Pato that look of royal disdain, doesn't deign to answer him and says let's go to dinner.
Don Jeronimo and Vicky's Apartment
Aldo has taken it upon himself to go check on Vicky to make sure she is ok. He looks really worried. He is banging on the apartment door and calling Vicky's and Don Jeronimo's names. Vicky is standing on the other side of that door, not saying anything and she is visibly upset, and doesn't answer the door. Don Jeronimo comes around the corner and asks Vicky why doesn't she answer the door, what's she waiting for, it is Aldo after all. Aldo on the other side is really banging on that door and yelling their names. Vicky tells her Papa she is so not answering the door.
Ob/Gyn Office in the D.F.
Gagme and Rodrigo es Mio are at the ob/gyn office. Gagme is getting a sonogram and Rodrigo es Mio is limply holding Gagme's hand. Gagme is just oozing at the doctor about her supportive husband, si mi amor??? (Note to Gagme- You still hate him as much as he hates you, jus' sayin'). Rodrigo so es NOT Mio isn't happy. Gagme wants to know the sex of the bebe, but the Doctor tells her it will have to wait for a month and then they will be able to tell. Well Gagme is so not happy with that, and she tells the Doctor that they are going to Canada and she really wanted to know the sex of the bebe before they go, she wants a boy. The Doctor is so not happy with her, cause she was screeching at him and Rodrigo es Mio tells her to calm down. The doctor continues the sonogram.
Meanwhile, Out in the Waiting Room of the Same Ob/Gyn
Vio and Luci are sitting in the waiting room waiting to be seen by the doctor. The receptionist calls Luci's name, and they stand up to go to the exam room, when Gagme and Rod come out of the exam room and run into Vio and Luci. Rod is shocked as are Vio and Luci, but Gagme planned this and takes full advantage. So Gagme, in a raised voice the whole waiting room can hear, says oh, here is Luci Jacinto the woman you got pregnant and isn't married. Rod and Vio are very perturbed and Luci can't bring herself to say anything. The receptionist looks uncomfortable, but not for Gagme, for Luci. Vio is giving Gagme the stink eye and Luci is frozen, almost like a statue. Vio, so sticking up for Luci, tells Gagme hey rich girl, Luci got pregnant when she was married to the guy, you are married to now, and besides you got pregnant when you weren't married and only did it to catch/trap him. You go Vio!!!! Luci puts a hand on Vio's arm and Vio tells Luci come on hermanita let's go in the exam room. Rod is trying to get Gagme to shut up already and stop the spectacle and Gagme laughs at Vio and Luci and says oh, those lower classes and mimicks Vio and Rod pays the bill and is pithed. The people in the waiting room and the receptionist are so on Luci's side and looking at Gagme like what a tool!!!
Luci and Vio are now in the doctor's office, near the exam room, (Note to the Doctor: Hope you cleaned the exam room after that slimy one left, jus' sayin'). The Doctor has heard all and is very sympathetic to Luci and even gives her a cup of tea. Luci has a question for the doctor and she asks him, even though she shouldn't but how is Gagme's bebe? The doctor says he'll tell her anyway, that Gagme's bebe is just fine, but she was really pithed off that she couldn't find out the sex of the bebe and that she wants a boy. The doctor tells Luci, Gagme has to wait cause she isn't far enough along yet to tell. Vio asks the Doctor what Luci is having, a boy or a girl. Luci tells the doctor again, she doesn't want to know, all she cares about is whether the bebe is healthy. The Doctor smiles at that and you can tell he really likes Luci way more than Gagme. He tells Luci her and her bebe are perfectly healthy. Luci is over the moon.
Rod's Car, The Aftermath of the Insult To Luci
Rodrigo es Mio is giving Gagme hell about insulting Luci like that in front of everyone with in listening distance. Rod tells her this was totally uncalled for and what happened to having peace in their relationship and how about some respect while Gagme is at it? Gagme is pithed he called her on this and she asks him what relationship? Gagme tells him the way she sees it, he could care less about her, all he cares about is his job and thinks of her as the incubator for the bebe, not really, but only as the mother of his bebe and that's it! Gagme reminds Rodrigo es Mio she didn't hold a gun to his head to get him to marry her. There are now two scowling, very unhappy people in the car.
Back To The Ob/Gyn Doctor's Office
Luci has had her exam and the Doctor confirms for Luci the bebe is in perfect condition. He informs Luci she is three months pregnant. He reminds Luci to take her folate, that is very important and that she will be able to travel to Het Het. As long as Luci is healthy, the bebe will be too. The Doctor tells Luci if she has any problems to call him. Luci tells the Doctor when she is in the D.F. she will continue to see him and she thanks him.
Het Het
Magda and Paz have made a little trip to the market. Magda is very excited that Luci and Vio are coming to Het Het. Magda can hardly wait to talk to Vio. Paz reminds her they have a phone now, so why wait, give her a ringy dingy. Magda is worried about what Don A will do when Vio comes to Het Het. Magda is still upset that Don A still won't accept Vio as his daughter and she grabs the paper that Paz has been fanning herself with and Magda starts fanning her face. Note to Urban- Do you think they could borrow a couple of your fans?
Don Aquiles is playing darts but instead of the dart board being on the door, poor Copio is holding it. Copio is relaying the gossip about town about this phantasma and it is causing all kinds of problems. Copio wants Don A to do somethin' about this, he is the ultimate authority in this town after all, lol. Copio informs Don A that he works at the funeraria and doesn't want to see no phantasma and that it was there already! The phantasma has been spotted all over the place, but especially the funeraria, the collanaded walkway where Don A himself saw it and the wall about town. Don A asks Copio if Copio is wanting to start a hunt for it? This whole time Copio has been holding this dart board, and Don A I have to say hasn't hit poor Copio with a dart yet. Copio has been dodging those darts to ensure he doesn't get hit.
Torreslanda Home, Lawn
The Champagne Queen and Rosa la loca are walking toward the seating area on the lawn. I beleive the Champagne Queen has come for lunch. The Champagne Queen is asking how Rosa la loca is doing? Rosa says she went to the doctor and the family thinks she's crazy, but she's not. Note to Rosa la loca: If Viewerville had it's way, you'd be in the manicomio already, 'nuff said. The Champagne Queen looks at her oddly and tells her to be calm. They are both now sitting outside on the lawn under the umbrella. Wouldn't want to get those sun spots, doncha know. Frigid is right there with them serving them. The Champagne Queen mentions to la loca Rosa that what she is spending on that doctor her and Max could take a nice vacation, anywhere in the world. Roas la loca mentions Australia, Africa, Brasil, Canada and the Champagne Queen was blah, blahing about material things, but Rosa isn't happy with only that, she wants the family to be altogether, you know, Max, her children, that gives her peace, being the center, er, having the family around her. Rosa adds that since Pato's accident and Luciana Linares' arrival she hasn't had a minute of peace.
Cafe In The D.F.
Claudio and Luci are having a little cafe. Luci tells Claudio that things went well at the Doctor and Claudio is happy everything went well. Now her Papa Claudio wants to know where Luci would like to have the bebe. Luci tells her Papa that the doctor has told her when she might have gotten pregnant and Luci wants to have the bebe in Het Het. You go girl, better there than anywhere near the brujas. Her Papa Claudio wants her to really think about that. He would prefer she had the bebe in the D.F. with this doctor attending, but Het Het is ok too. He just wants her to have the bebe where he is. Luci is undecided about that, and her Papa tells her wherever she wants to have the bebe he will be there, irregardless. Claudio would also like to know when they can find out the sex of the bebe. Luci says in another month. Claudio says that's perfect cause the apartment he bought for her will be ready then and she'll be able to decorate it and the bebe's room especially. Luci is all excited. Claudio tells Luci it's time to go and he is happy that Vio is going to Het Het with Luci. Luci says Magda will be over the moon and Luci wants to stop by to see Lorenzo before she leaves and her Papa says of course.
Back To Het Het
Paz and Magda are still discussing Don A and Vio. Paz thinks eventually Don A will accept Vio as his daughter. Magda laughs and says yeah, when pigs fly, not really but you get the drift. Paz asks Magda, whyever not??? He could help her financially, yeah as if, or help her find a good job. Paz informs Magda that would give her some peace. Magda reminds Paz that Don A is not that generous and is a wretch and would never give Vio any money. Paz tells Magda to think about it. Don A is all alone, has no family, and now finds out Vio is his daughter, he really is in a position to help Vio, yeah like I said when pigs fly.
Rod and Gagme's Apartment of No Love Lost
Rod is meeting with Cardenas the Architect in his home office about the bebe's room. Rod is telling him what he wants and the architect will design the room with a small closet. Gagme comes in about this time and says no small closet, big closet cause this bebe will have lots of clothes and all kinds of things and besides we are going to Canada. Rod basically ignores her and talks to the architect about the room and Gagme interrupts again, not liking the plans, but they totally ignore her and continue on and she is smiling with her whole grill showing.
Back to the Lawn at Torreslanda Home
The Champagne Queen is continuing her convo with Rosa la loca about how it's a good thing that Rod and Gagme are going to Canada. Rosa is not happy they are going. Rosa wants them, as in the family, to stay where they are, as if frozen in some time capsule of Rosa la loca's making, not really but you get the drift. The Champagne Queen pipes up it is all that Nortena's fault and she messed up everyone's lives! Rosa actually says Gagme is at fault here too cause she can't keep ahold of Rod and the Champagne Queen throws it back at her and says Rod ignores Gagme, had the indescretion, as in affair, as in what is she smokin'. The Champagne Queen goes on about how Rod works all the time, spends no time with Gagme and what kind of marriage is that, pray tell? Rosa tells the Champagne Queen well hey, at least they are married! And besides marriage is what you make of it. The Champagne Queen says that isn't a normal marriage. Rosa tells the Champagne Queen that marriage is a sacrament and nothing to sneeze at and that marriage is tough. The Champagne Queen laughs and thinks that is a joke. The Champagne Queen tells Rosa, it's so strange that ever since I have known you, there has never been any display of affection between you and Max, not holding hands, no kissing and Max is such an attractive man, doncha know and could it be maybe Max might be a wee bit unfaithfull????
Speaking of Max, He is In His Car
Max is in his car driving somewhere, parks and rolls the window down.
Nicole's Salon
Vicky is doing Conny's nails and Conny is liking the job Vicky did on them. Vicky is happy Conny likes them. Nicole comes over to greet Conny. Conny tells Nicole she has been very busy with work and Nicole asks after Rosa. Conny tells Nicole, Rosa is doing well. Nicole tells Conny to remember her to Rosa and Conny says she will. Conny asks Vicky if she is still seeing Aldo. Vicky tells her no. Conny wants to know why not and have you returned to your lover? Vicky kinda gets indignant and says no. Conny thinks that's a good thing. Vicky informs Conny she has been working, keeping busy ya know and that Aldo is a great guy, but she'd rather be alone right now. Conny tells Vicky she is nice girl, very attractive, a hard worker and she'll find a great guy. Vicky thanks Conny for her advice. Conny is happy and goes, she pays Nicole, with a big tip for Vicky and Conny leaves.
Max's Car
Max's car is parked now and he is blocking Conny in. He is texting someone and I bet you can guess who that is, since he is directly outside the salon.
Nicole's Salon
Vicky gets the text and is very upset. Vicky never went outside and it's a good thing she didn't. She completely ignored Max's text and greets her next customer, while constantly looking at the door to make sure trouble hasn't come to find her.
Parking Lot of Nicole's Salon
Conny comes out to the parking lot of the salon and Max's car is blocking her in. Conny looks over and says Maximino? He doesn't see Conny cause he is too busy looking at his phone. Conny is wondering why the heck Max is outside the salon but Conny has a brain and she is putting two and two together.
Taco Stand, Torreslanda Hood
Fabian and Lorenzo are still cleaning their corner and Aldo is with them and remarks to Lorenzo so Luci is going back to Het Het. Lorenzo tells Aldo yeah, she is going she'll be with her Mama and is happy to be going, Lorenzo looks so sad as he says this. Fabian cheers him up and says at least she'll be with her Mama, in her hometown and she's happy. Aldo wants to know if his partner, Lorenzo is going too? Lorenzo tells him of course not, he is staying. Aldo I think wants to expand the bidness and Lorenzo thinks it's too soon to fast. Estelita is still the only one making that filling for the tacos. Aldo says he trusts the guys and Fabian reminds Aldo that they are selling boatloads of tacos and bringing in the money, what more does he want. Lorenzo changes the subject and wants info on Hanna, how is she doing? Aldo says so Hanna broke up with Boris and Lorenzo says she had her reasons. Aldo reminds him not to think of Hanna , cause they are of different social classes, doncha know, and Tia Rosa so wouldn't like it. Lorenzo is depressed, but Aldo has been putting him on. Aldo says he will help in anyway he can so Lorenzo can keep seeing Hanna. Lorenzo is happy. Another Torreslanda that has made a promise, let's see just how long Hanna keeps hers versus Rod keeping his.
Parking Lot of Nicole's Salon
Conny has gone over to Max's car. She asks Max what he's doing there? He is shocked to see Conny. He says he wanted an appointment here and she wants to know if it was for him? Well, yeah he says. Maybe he can get the same "make over" Lastra, his partner in crime got, jus' sayin', but we all know why he is really here. She tells him she got her nails done by Vicky, the daughter of Don Jernomio, ya know the guy that works for you, you know her right? Note to Conny, depends on what the meaning of the word know is , jus' sayin'. Max of course agrees he knows Vicky. Conny takes this opportunity to thank Max for letting her stay at their house and that she is staying with Melissa. Max tells her she is welcome back anytime. She asks about that appointment here and he says now he doesn't have time and has a meeting he needs to get to he goes. Conny watches his car drive away and is still thinking about why he was REALLY here.
Torreslanda Home, Pato's Room
Hanna, Rod and Pato are all hanging out and Mati has brought everyone lunch. Hanna asks Rod why he is so upset and he tells her its a long story and then he tells her all about the encounter he had with Luci at the ob/gyn and the spectacle Gagme caused in the Dr's waiting room. He tells them how badly he wanted to go into the exam room with Luci, but he's stuck with Gagme now. Rod says that's why it's time for him to fly, well you get the drift and she wants to know where, and Pato tells her Canada. Hanna wants to know why he didn't tell her and he says it's better if he goes, better for Luci too. Hanna wants to know when he is coming back. He tells Hanna he'll be back to take Gagme to the doctors. Hanna is so sad he is stuck with Gagme. Rod says yeah, but she is the mother of my bebe, and Hanna says well ya know Luci pregnant with you first bebe and Gagme is a bruja. You tell him Hanna. Pato reminds Rod of the promise made to Luci, but Rod doesn't know if he can keep it and reminds Pato of that. Pato tells Hanna that Luci is also going away, and Rod tells Hanna he didn't even have a chance to say good bye to her. They also don't know when she is coming back.
Het Het
Luci is one happy girl. she is at home with Paz, Ariche and Magda. They all want to know how the bebe is doing and all are happy she is there with them. She tells them all the bebe is fine. Luci stands up and asks if they can see that bebe bump yet, lol. Luci thinks she has a little bebe bump and Magda and Paz laugh and think it's her clothes cause they don't see it yet. Luci is disappointed. Note to Luci: Just wait until you hit that ninth month, when you are waddling like a duck and can't tie your shoes, jus' sayin'. Ariche tells Luci she looks great and Luci smiles, what a charmer that Ariche is. Magda is disappointed Vio didn't make it and Luci gives Magda a message from Vio that she loves and misses her Mama muchly. Well there is a knock on the door and Ariche goes to get it, it is, wait for it, Vio of course along with her suitcase and Ariche announces who is at the door. Well, Magda is over the moon and gives her girl and huge hug and is so very happy to see her. Now everyone is really happy.
Copio has gone and done some sleuthing again and has come to Don A. Copio says he wants to form a posse consisting of himself, Theo and Don A and they should lie in wait for this phantasma this evening. Don A thinks Copio came up with an intelligent plan and puts him in charge of it, cause he's a brave guy! So poor Copio is takin' the job.
Torreslanda Home, Evening, Pato's Room
The three siblings are still hanging out and Rod is telling them he is gonna miss Luci and he's actually crying a bit and says he will honor his promise. Hanna wants to know what kind of promise. Rod tells her the promise he made her about not calling and not looking for her either and it is a promise he is going to keep, what a fool Rod is. Hanna tells her brothers about the promise she made her Papa Max about Lorenzo not seeing him either, how's it's nothing bad, she and Lorenzo are just friends after all, Rod gives her a hug.
Street Walking In the D.F. by Our Two Guys
Ok, Ok, I know that is a misleading title but hey, its a sad epi so I had to do something to make it funny. Anyways, it's Aldo and Lorenzo walking in the evening light talkin' bidness. Lorenzo tells Aldo he has been thinking of hiring a girl to help Estelita out making that taco filling cause they are selling alot of them. Aldo says Estelita probably needs the help and Lorenzo agrees. Now the subject is back to Lorenzo's love ,Hanna. Lorenzo has a question for Aldo about her and Aldo says ask already. He tells Aldo he doesn't want Hanna to get in trouble cause of him and Aldo warns Lorenzo about the la loca Tia not wanting Lorenzo anywhere near Hanna. Lorenzo would like to call her cell, but Aldo is afraid that the Tia will get to the phone first. I think Aldo will hide the bill or something when it comes in so Tia doesn't get his number from it.
Pato's Room
Hanna and Rod have put Pato to bed and he thanks them. Rod says he's gotta go, the bruja Gagme is so waiting for him and Hanna asks if she'll get to see Rod before he leaves for Canada? Rod tells her it depends on how much work he has. Rod tells them if he doesn't get to see them before he leaves, he'll be back cause he has to take the bruja, oh, er, Gagme to the ob/gyn and he'll see them then. Hanna makes fun of Gagme and calls her the witchy sister-in-law. Rod says Gagme will be happy he's going to Canada and Rod lets them know he is going now. He kisses Pato and is telling Hanna bye when the bruja of all brujas comes in, now that would be the la loca Mama of course, and she also wants Rod to stop by before he leaves for Canada. He tells her he doesn't know and Rosa is upset he is going to be gone for some time. And Rod says oh, not that long and kisses her cheek and Hanna goes to escort him to the door, and Rosa goes over to put her hand on Pato's shoulder. Hanna and Rod go downstairs and Hanna asks Rod not to be gone a very long time. Rod says they can always communicate by the internet, cell phone, skype. Hanna is upset that Rod and Luci are not speaking and not talking at all, no contact, etc., Hanna is upset about that and doesn't like it. Rod kisses her cheek and goes to the door.
Het Het
Luci, Vio and Ariche are walking in Het Het, having just gone to the market. Vio can't beleive she is walking the streets of her hometown after all these years. Ariche asks Vio exactly how long she has been gone and Vio says a very long time. There is thunder in the background and suddenly all of them stop and Ariche says, Ay Chihuahua and of course it is, wait for it, Don Aquiles of course. So Don A says Vaya, Vaya, Vaya and he says here we have Luci, who he slightly bows to and Violetta. Vio is so shocked to see him and Don Aquiles is giving her the stinkeye. And this is where we end this evening.
Advances:
Gagme is planning more venganza.
We have another sighting of the phantasma.
Labels: refugio
Le Reina de Brujas and the Champagne Queen are at best reluctant allies. You can see Rosa squirm every time Julie bring up the state of the nonconsummated marriage and how it is all Rods's fault. As far as Rosa is concerned she got them married, Gagme is pregnant o that's it. I did love Julie's dig about Max being a handsome man and basically telling her with a cold fish like her no wonder he's getting a little on the side. I actually wouldn't be surprised if she decided to make a play for him just to pith Rosa off.
Aldo truly does like to stir things up, first with his chasing after Vicki to bug Max and now deciding to intervene to help Jana and Lorenzo knowing full well it will drive La Loca over the edge. I'd like to think he is doing it because he's a good guy but i think at heart he is just a s**t disturber.
Gotta love Vi blasting Gagme. Luci is so obviously raised like I was that you never make a scene in a public place but Gagme has no scruples and just doesn't get that the person making the scene is the one people hold in contempt. Loved Vi saying Luci was married to Rod when she got pregnant but you weren't. Big kudos to Violetta.
Connie is putting it together but her boy, unfortunately, didn't inherit his mother's good sense. He mostly acts like not much happened when he's the very one who knows it all.
Rosa managed to guilt-provoke Max into taking some action with Jana. Didn't Jana say she to Pato and Rod that she wasn't going to comply with her promise?
Max ... Jekyl and Hyde. A guy who is so warm, generous and supportive with his kids and so disdainful and violent with his "property" and I include Aldo in there too. The scales are weighted on the side of Bad Max but there's still a little weight on the side of Good Max. The actor imparts great warmth in the scenes with the children when maybe just a little bit of advice might do if he's not going to be saved in the end, which is looking less likely given his recent rages.
Is Vicki afraid of Max or is she mad at Max?
Poor Canada with those two snarling badgers landing in it. Rod won't defend Luci aloud when Gala abuses her, he's so concerned with keeping up the appearance of being a good husband to the wrong woman that he repeatedly leaves Luci hanging out to dry. The previews showed him sending her a desperate text in the night. That and a few pesos will get her on the bus. My one consolation for the way he has denied her and her baby ... despite his protestations of true love and wanting to be a father to the baby ... is that Luci seems so happy and relaxed with all the other love in her life.
My stomach was churning during the ugly confrontation at the ob/gyn's office. And CAROL is right, Rod did nothing to defend Luciana...Violeta had to do the job.
I'm also very conflicted about Max. His talk with Jana was reasonable, caring and fair. What a shame that there's the other side of him that could frame a loyal partner and send him to jail for 20 years, never mind all the current emotional and physical violence he's putting people through! Clearly he's needs medication and a date with the head doctor also!
And thanks for starting off your recap with a song! Now as for plane songs, I go back to the Peter, Paul and Mary days, so glad you're bringing me up a few decades, music-wise.
If Luci and Rod get back together she needs to lay down the law. He has to protect her from the likes of Gala.
And whatever else about Max he needs to get out of denial about Roselena.
Loved that little verbal catfight between Roselena and Julie. It's about time for the two of them to really turn on each other.
I'm a little confused about the Canada thing. I've been under the impression that Rod is going there alone or why bother making over any room of the apartment? Gala is wanting the baby to be born in Mexico (for all the wrong reasons) and who is going to run the magazine?
Yes, Hannah did say she is not going to keep her promise of staying away from Lorenezo. Yay! I am going to give Aldo the benefit of the doubt. I think he's going to help just because he loves his cousin Hannah and really likes Lorenzo. But he's giving Lor fair warning about Rosa. If he really wanted to cause trouble, he would play that bit down in order to watch the major fireworks when it all explodes. I think he will do his best to keep the Hannah-Lor romance a secret from his aunt and uncle.
Urban- Both Rod and Gala are going to Canada, but they plan to be back in Mexico often, including for the birth of their child, and I'm guessing at least some months after the birth too. That's why Rod wants to keep the apartment and renovate it for their needs.
I agree with you Decie Girl, this was a sad episode indeed. Someone once told me promises are made to be broken and that indeed seems the case here. I agree with you, Carol and Judy that Rod's not defending Luci was gut wrenching but cheered when Vi did the job he obviously wouldn't. Blech.
Of all the many things I'm dreading seeing is Julie trying to ensnare Claudio. He certainly seemed to sparkle when they spoke the other day. Let's hope the story does NOT go there. I do think though that spunky Melissa will intervene. And quickly.
Max is an abusive, scary stalker. I'm very afraid for Vicky. She played with fire and she and Aldo are going to get burned.
I am not liking Gabe Soto's increasingly dark locks. He looked so much better with the blond highlights and clean shaven. But I digress.
Happy Friday!
Diana
I love anytime the siblings get together, and those scenes were well done and touching. Each sibling has there own heartache and frustration and it's so welcoming to have all of them support each other. Normally there is one rotten apple in the bunch, so I'm glad the writers didn't go there.
Vi was my hero of the episode. Where Rod should have told his wife to shut it or pulled her out of there and then came back to pay the bill, at least Vi said what we were all thinking. GT amazes, because honestly, she doesn't realize that when she pulls crap like this, she is the one who people are shaking their head at, not the intended target. SOOOOO happy the doc caught on and now he and staff know the story. Hurrah! Another TN cliche broken--we won't have the unscrupulous doctor siding with the bruja.
I agree with everyone who says Max is so hard to hate/like. What a complex character. You can't take away his love for his kids, which in the long run will make it so much sadder when they realize his shady side dealings and how he railroaded CL. Especially Janna. What more can that poor girl take.
Decie Girl- Loved the La Reina de Brujas moniker. May I use that in a future recap? It fits the la loca so perfectly. I think Aldo is a good guy, but a little troublemaker. I am hoping that doesn't get him into any major trouble later.
Carol- thank you so much for the giggling. That's my aim, especially when epi's are sad or there is not much going on. I think Vicky is a little of both with Max, afraid and mad. I think she is really afraid of him after he handcuffed her to that bed in the beginning of the TN. I thought he was going to kill her. I wonder too if she cares more about Aldo than she lets on. She is sure staying away from him.
Judy- Yeah I get conflicted about Max too. I like how caring of a father he is, but in bidness or using people he is ruthless. I don't like that side of him. I will be curious to see how he is by the end of this TN.
Urban- with you about Rod and Luci. What Gagme did was so uncalled for. But really Gagme made herself look bad. Everyone was pulling for Luci. I too liked the catfight between la loca and the Champagne Queen. I can't beleive they are allies, they are more like frenemies. About the magazine, maybe there is an office in Canada for her to run. I know she went to Columbia a while back and opened an office there.
Vivi- I got that impression too, that they were both going to Canada and would be traveling back and forth. I am with you about Aldo helping Hannah too. Aldo knows the hell she goes thru with her loca Mama and I think he wants her to have some fun once in a while. Aldo can escape anytime he wants to, but not poor Hannah.
Diana- I don't think Claudio will go there with the Champagne Queen. I think he has her number and I too think if the Champagne Queen tries to make a move Melissa will stop her. Melissa knows for sure what the Champagne Queen is all about. If Claudio could figure out what Max did to him, I am sure he can figure out what the Champagne Queen is after.
Also with you and everyone that loved Vio this epi. She did exactly what our Rod the Bod should have done. At least he honored what he said to Gagme about respect and not fighting, but she went back on her word, bigtime and I agree, he should have taken her out of that doctor's office and paid the bill later. I am glad he gave her hell in the car, and ignored her plans for the bebe nursery, but if she comes back to Mexico before he does, I am afraid his mancave will be history. She'll ensure she has that made into a nursery before he gets back, jus' sayin'.
Carol---"Poor Canada with those two snarling badgers" had me laughing. That was a great line.
A different point of view---Everyone loved Violeta last night but when I read the recap, I was disapointed. Yes, she defended Luciana in the doctors office but she could have said a lot more and HIT A LOT HARDER. I am not a good fighter but even I could have come on stronger to that bruja than Vi did. And what happened to Rod? Missing in action AGAIN!!!

Sure feel free to use La Reina de Brujas and don't worry about missing Jana saying she wasn't going to keep her promise. When I did my trial run at recapping i worried about the stuff I'd miss or get wrong which I noticed when i read Anita's but it happens. You have to focus so hard sometimes and one word makes a big difference.
I too am glad that Vi maintained her own dignity in dealing with Gagme. While a nice slap or insulting comment might be temporarily satisfying, Vi's curt reminder that Luci was married when she got pregnant and Gala was not was a perfect set down that summed up the whole thing. Gagme should have been mortified but she just dug a bigger hole for herself by making snide comments about the classy lassies from Het Het.
The sibling scenes are really great. In the prior version the siblings all had that same good, caring relationship and even Vicki who had a brother had it as well. It is one of the things the writers have kept and it serves the story well.
I really enjoyed the scene between Julie and Rosalena where Rosalena tells Julie that she sees nothing wrong with Rod & Gala's sexless marriage. When she says "lust" has no place in a marriage (LOL!) Julie is finally clued in that Rosa's marriage is also sexless, and that Rosa thinks that's the way things should be! I love how Julie pointed out that an attractive randy man like Max is not going to settle for a sexless marriage and must be getting it on the side. Rosalena looked somewhat perplexed - like she truly couldn't understand why her he-man husband would need a sex life! LOL!!!!
The lie that Max told Connie about why he was in front of the salon is that he had an appointment nearbye, but he was early, and parking was hard to find in that neighborhood. That's why he was loitering there. Connie of course did not believe that. But she certainly wouldn't have believed it if he said he had an appointment at the salon. I can just imagine him trying to get a makeover like Lastra. LOL!
No wonder The Champagne Queen was laughing her a$$ off and thought it was a joke about Max and Rosa not having sex. Now it makes more sense to me.
I'm glad Vivi clarified some of those scenes--it worked either way, but the "marriage is a sacrament" line and Julie's reaction and the look Rosa's face were priceless.
I think when Juli and Rosa are going back and forth on who's at fault for the fracaso of the Rod/Gagme marriage, she also mentioned that Rod had not touched Gala since the wedding.
Also, while Lor & Aldo were strolling, Lor said he wanted to ask Jana out on a date. He doesn't know if she would accept. That's when Aldo says call her, but the problem is even if she wants to, it's the mama bear who has the last word and that will be NO (paraphrasing, of course).
ITA with everyone over Vio's hutzpah in the dr's office, and where was Rod. Now I also agree with the assessment that he was brought up not to make a scene in public, but then he should have ushered Luci out ASAP--but then we wouldn't have gotten the who was married to whom when conception ocurred. Loved her for that line.
Thanks a million times over for the great recaps.
Olive
Olive-thank you so much for the lovely comment. I do my best to make these recaps entertaining while trying to learn Spanish. I agree with you about Rod too. The more they push Rod towards Gagme the more he bucks them right and left. Rod barely tolerates her and with Gagme everything is about revenge cause Rod rejected her. I can't wait to see if she will change once the bebe is born, but I'm not holding my breath.
