Caray, Caray!

Past news in town:

Office of La Buenaventura:  Pablo, Mariano and Cayetano visit and Pablo tells Mariano that former flame Teresa sends him her regards from the wedding. Mariano explains to Pablo that Padre Anselmo, her brother, had already told him that Teresa was back in town.  Pablo takes leave in order to get back to work.   Mariano is happy that Cayetano did not reveal the breaking news of Pablo’s origins to Pablo.  Cayetano admits he still loves Pablo and hopes Pablo will not reject him even if he is not his real father.   Meanwhile, Rotten Yago and his inner child are eavesdropping (according to TN law).  They both burst in and inner child Yago complains that it just isn’t fair that Pablo gets allll the attention.

Luzma’s Room at LaMQ:  Pablo has a surprise for Luzma – Refugio!  She has come to care for her while she is in bed.  Pablo takes leave after Piedad comes to tell him Rodolfo is looking for him because Pablo forgot to give him something (money maybe) for the business at the ranch.

Random Patio at LaMQ:  Viewerville is subjected, yet again, to Rotten Yago telling Pablo the real reason for Mom and Pop’s divorce.  Yup, it was not because of Isavibora, but because of the new revelations that Rocio had an affair with Don Dan Monterde back about nine months before Pablo was born.  Yago goes in for the emotional slug and tells Pablo that he is not an Albarran, but a Monterde.  No puede ser!  Pablo is shocked and says this cannot be true because Mariano never said anything and he just saw him.  Yago advises Pablo to accept the news because everybody in town knows about it already.  In fact, Yago asks Pablo why Camila has been extra nice and treating him like family.   Pablo tries to make sense of this shocking news while Yago, with his sh$%eating grin further challenges Pablo to go ask Mariano if he doesn’t believe him.


New News of El Pueblo:

Luzma’s Room at LaMQ:   Refugio brings Luzma some creamy remedy to make her feel better after sitting in bed for so many days. Luzma asks Refugio if she thinks Pablo and Rocio will ever reconcile. Luzma admits she feels guilty for causing this rift between mother and son.  Refugio assures Luzma that she is not the cause, but that Rocio has other skeletons in her closet that have more to do with the current strife within the Albarran family.  She tells Luzma not to take on the burden of guilt where it is not merited (no carges con morrales que no te corresponden).  Yes, Refugio says, Rocio is now paying for some of her past errors.  Suddenly, Pablo bursts through the door and challenges Refugio to tell him if it is true that he is a love child of Don Dan and Rocio.  Well, yes, Refugio refuses to lie to the lad causing him to storm back out the door from whence he came.  Luzma, alarmed, tells Refugio to go after him because Pablo is so distraught.  Refugio pauses, calls on heavenly help and hobbles after him.

Downtown City in Chiapas: Our honeymooners tool around the town, arrive at a friendly little restaurant (acogedor) and talk about the happily ever after stuff.  Camila suggests they build a casita somewhere far from the prying eyes of Dio.  She also suggests another casita for Pablo and Luzma.  Dan tells her that her wish is his command.  She asks him to repeat that.   Then she says, she wants to be with him 24/7 (remember folks, they are newlyweds).  Dan says much as he would luuvvv to do this, he needs some “me time” so that he can work and be useful.  Not to worry Dan, Camila tells him he is “super useful (Wink! Wink!) and she offers to keep him so he doesn’t have to work. He can work with Pablo to administer the ranch since he is part owner.  Nope, Dan is sticking to the “me time” because he has lots to do.  First, he still has the gumshoe job of tracing Al’s emails that implicate Isa.  Then he is pulling out his resume so he can find work in his own field of interest, computers.  She pouts playfully asking how Dan can leave his favorite person alone to be with his computers and software.  He asks if she is jealous.  Not of the computers, but of the girls who work the computers, she answers and says that if there were any funny business she would have to kill them and him and that now that she thinks about it she is making herself mad.  Dan reassures her, urges her to breathe and they smooch and promise more happily ever after time together.

Church Rectory:  Padre Anselmo and sister Teresa visit with one another.  Teresa has figured out that Mariano was not at the Camila - Dan nuptials because he was in love with Camila and couldn’t bear to see her marry someone else.  Padre has a plan and urges Teresa to seek Mariano out and consider reviving their former relationship.  Padre approves of Mariano, says he is a good guy and he wants him for his sis.  Teresa agrees to look up Mariano and pay him a let’s-consider-being-extra-friendly visit.

Restaurant somewhere in Chiapas:  The honeymooners eat tamales and drink coffee and eat and drink some more.

Random field in Aculco:  Rafa and Viv stroll through a corn field with Aaron.  They inform him of their latest project – setting up a library in town where local children can come and read and be read to.  Aaron is predictably tickled at the idea.  They talk about how reading is good for the vocabulary, grades and creativity.  Viv adds that some of her fondest memories were having been read to as a child.  Rafa and Viv explain they will be collecting donations of books from all around town for their new library.  Viv will be in charge of the reading workshops.  Huggies between all community do-gooders!

Restaurant in town:  Nat comes to meet an already seated Dio.  He tells her he thought she would not come.  Nat tells Dio that their newly discovered relationship is difficult.  Pero porque, Dio wonders aloud. He has been instructing his attorney to arrange to “recognize Nat as his daughter” i.e. change Nat’s legal name to his name (if he can remember which one he is using right now).  No, Nat tells him not to do that, that she does not want his name and that she is not really sure who he really is.  Pero porque? Dio tells Nat she cannot deny him this opportunity based on what other people are saying about him.  He has demonstrated that what people have said about him is not true.  Yes, but Nat digs a little deeper and reminds Dio that she worked for him and saw things for herself.

El Hostal:  Amanda thought bubbles about how she misses Nat. She thinks that her only error was to try to protect her.

Restaurant in town:   Back at the father-daughter talk, Dio tells Nat to not be afraid to share with him.  He wants to know what Nat doubts about him.  She tells him about the time she overheard him talking to Sr Estevez about the signing of a contract for La MQ.   Dio answers ever so smoothly that he was only the intermediary between Isa and the developers and was never involved with the dirty biz part.  He purrs that he wants to give Nat everything that Amanda had never been able to.  Noble Nat returns and tells him she is not interested in his pesos if that is what he is referring to.  Purring ever closer, Dio says he is not referring to pesos, but to the love and protection he can give her.  Nat puts the kibosh on his krap and calls him an assassin who sent someone to Chile to kill Dan and he placed a spy at the hostel and and…….Dio denies some more.  He claims Omar and Braulio cooked up the spying idea and that he has no idea who tried to kill Dan.    In a final attempt to seduce her to his side, he tells Nat that he understands that she will need some time to erase her doubts about him and that he hopes that she will eventually accept him as her father and that his love will touch her heart (ese amor toque tu alma).  Fat chance Father Felon!

Isa’s Hotel Room: Isa tells Cayetano that she understands how he feels more love towards Pablo than anger.  But she urges him to tell Pablo the truth or their relationship will take a turn for the worse.  Pablo will feel betrayed by Cayetano.  Isa gives the example of Al; after Al learned the truth about his real mom, look how he turned on Isa!  He even accused her of murder – after all she had done for Al!  Fue una lastima! Cayetano is worried he will lose Pablo, but Isa soberly reminds him that he cannot lose something that is not his – Pablo is not his son.   She reaches for the old guy and urges him to get his feelings out with her because she cares so much about him.  She hugs him while she coldly thought bubbles her hopes to separate Cayetano from all those close to him so she can have him alllll to herself.  He looks a little flummoxed, while Isa hugs him closely.

Ranch Office at BV:   Teresa comes to visit Mariano.  They greet and tell each other how wonderful they each look.  Mariano tells her that her brother, the good Padre Anselmo has been reporting on her spying biz in Chile.  He would like to visit, but is on his way to meet Ana. Que? Teresa wonders who Ana is and Mariano tells her she is his eleven year old daughter and light of his life.  Teresa offers to accompany him and drops an unsubtle hint that she is not the same person as she was before – that she doesn’t sweat the small stuff.  Thank god, thinks Mariano while he says bueno!  They leave together.

Luzma’s room:  Rosario tries to call Pablo but is having no luck.  She gets on the phone with Ana.  They chat and Ana says she misses her at the ranch.  Rosario inquires after Pablo and Mariano.  Ana offers to look for Mariano and have him call Rosario straight way.  Luzma hopes that Pablo doesn’t do something stupid. Viewerville knows that Pablo is a sensible gentleman but secretly wishes he would flatten Rotten Yago with a right hook.

Random Barn at BV:  Teresa and Mariano continue reminiscing, or at least Teresa does.  While she talks, little darling Ana sneaks up to spy on them.  Teresa tells him she was heartbroken when Mariano was going to marry Ana Maria after just four months.  Teresa and Mariano had been together for four years and Teresa realized that it was the biggest mistake of her life to have broken up with him.  She asks Mariano if he misses Ana Maria and he says yes, they had such a short time together before she died.  Teresa tells him that she learned about this while she was doing her masters in London (TN law: Professional studies are to be completed in  London).  She says she should have come back to console him and now knows she should have given more attention to her sentimental life.  Mariano tells her it was just as well as he was tied up in his grief.  Teresa confides to Mariano that she was at his wedding to Ana Maria. Que? Yes, she was there with the idea of breaking them up so that she and Mariano could get back together.

Hotel de Hostility (Rocio’s Room):  There is an insistent and loud knock at Rocio’s door.  WTQ? She wonders who is knocking in this way.  She opens the door and Pablo blasts in. He wastes no time asking if he is the son of her lover (amante).  Errr, Rocio tries in vain to dance around the truth – what does it matter who gives you life, Cayetano loves you best, blah blah blah.  Pablo quickly figures that it is true.  Rocio pleads her case to Pablo – she was weak and is not perfect.  Pablo’s sympathy lays dormant as he points out that he begged her, his own mother to come to his wedding, but it was Cayetano, who is not his real father who showed up.  He says Rocio is the worst mother and that he would have defended Rocio through life, but now he never wants to see her again. He storms out and Rocio cries after him to forgive her.  The door slams and Rocio is left alone, a sobbing and solitary woman.

Random Barn at BV: Mariano is no puede ser about Teresa’s little confession. Teresa continues her tale telling Mariano she was jealous of Ana Maria. But, after she saw how in love he was at the wedding, she decided not to do the Mrs Robinson thing after all.  Mariano reminds her that Teresa’s career was always more important to her than he was.  He suggests they leave the past behind.  Teresa admits she wants to see if they can try to revive their relationship once again.  No comment from Mariano.  All the while, our darling little Ana is spying on the pair with a WTQ expression.

El Hostal:  Nat arrives and tells Amanda she has been to see her father.  She admits that she has her doubts about him.  Amanda apologizes to Nat about everything and Nat explains that she does not like how Amanda handled everything, the secrets and all.  Amanda promises to respect however Nat decides to handle her relationship with Dio.  They both admit they do not want to quarrel and they forgive and hug one another.

La BV Living Room:  Ana waits for Mariano and thought bubbles the conversation she overheard between he and Teresa. She does not appear to be too pleased.  They arrive and Mariano starts to introduce Ana to Teresa.  Ana deliberately interrupts and urges Mariano to call Refugio back because it is super important.  She passes by Teresa and Teresa says hi.  Ana pays little attention and barely responds to Teresa.  Viewerville suspects darling Ana may be devil Ana to Teresa.  Mariano hangs up and says it is urgent and he must excuse himself.  No introductions are made and he and Teresa hustle out the door.

Honeymoon Hotel in Chiapas: Dan and Camila arrive back at the hotel a little tipsy.  She enters the room and sees the stars and more champagne. She complains she will become an alcoholic after all this.  Dan turns her around and points out a surprise for her.  He hands her a little velvet box with a necklace in it and tells her this is for her to remember that is was worth it to have struggled for their love.  He puts it on her. She tells him he is slow.  He answers that some things he just does slowly.  Viewerville Dan fans find themselves imagining all that his comment could mean.   Their theme plays as they embrace…. divina tuuuuuuu…..

Santiago Chile:  Abe is performing a cryptic soliloquy for viewerville.  Viewerville is looking for clues as to what he is up to.  He swears he will find Dan in Mexico and that he cannot lose the little he has and that he has to save himself…. Hmmmmm, what can this mean?

Bistro and Bar in El Pueblo:  Pablo is having a crying in his beer moment about these new revelations of his origins.  He shoots some shots of tequila and cries.  Mariano finds him and tells him he has been worried about him and looking for him everywhere after Refugio called him.  Pablo tells Mariano he is not his brother, but his half brother.  Mariano attempts to console Pablo by telling him that a last name doesn’t mean anything, it is what is inside a person that matters and that Pablo has “much inside”.  He tells Pablo he will be his brother no matter what and that Cayetano still has love for him.  Pablo lets it out that it was Yago who spilled the frijoles and Mariano curses Rotten Yago for being so cold as to do that.  Pablo comments that Rotten Yago has always been jealous of Pablo’s relationship with Cayetano.  Pablo laments that he feels strange not knowing who he is, or where he belongs.  He is like an anchorless ship…. Viewerville groans and secretly wishes the recapper would refrain from corny clichés.

Cayetano’s Office at BV:  Cayetano yells at Rotten Yago for telling Pablo the news about his origins.  He tells him he has no right to have done that.  We hear Yago’s theme play yet again…the terrible injustice that Pablo, not even having the Albarran blood has been Cayetano’s favorite.  The injustice of it all !  Cayetano tells Yago to put a lid on this broken record.  Yago departs to soothe his injured inner child while Cayetano recalls Isa’s words telling him to tell Pablo the truth so that Pablo does not feel betrayed.

Helicopter ride over Chiapas to arrive at Honeymoon Hotel:  We revisit our happy couple as they discuss where they will  visit – perhaps the Lagunas de Montebello.  As they feed each other, the phone rings.  Dan asks Camila who brings a phone with them on a honeymoon. Camila jumps up to answer a voice mail or something and announces the call was from Mariano.  Dan breathes deep and Camila tells him to cool his heels as the call has to do with Pablo’s newly discovered origins.  They worry together about how Pablo will take the news and promise that they will be there for their newly discovered cousin.

Dining Room at BV:  Yago is feeding his inner child breakfast when Mariano finds him.  Mariano is angry that Yago was so selfish as to tell Pablo the news of his origins.  Yago retorts that he is in no mood to be scolded and that he has nothing to be sorry about.  He starts up his broken record them and says Pablo is the bastardo of their mother and doesn’t deserve to be the favored one of Cayetano.  Pablo overhears Rotten Yago’s words and confronts him.  Pablo tells him the path is clear for Yago to be the favored one, that Pablo is stepping aside and tells Yago how he has cared so much for his brothers.   Mariano tries to smooth Rotten Yago’s words over for Pablo, but it is not to be.  Pablo leaves and Mariano tells Yago he will never forgive him for this.  Yago tells Mariano it is their mother who holds the blame for all of this, not him.  Yago throws his napkin down and storms off.

Restaurant:  Cayetano is dining with Isavibora. He tells her that the divorce is almost a done deal and he is soon to be a single man.  He reaches in his pocket for THE LITTLE VELVET BOX. NOOOOOO, DON’T DO IT CAYETONTO!.  But alas, he says he would like to be with Isa and asks her if she will marry him.  The story ends for the night with a frozen shot of Isa’s perfectly mascara laden eyes pretending to be impactada.

Avances:  The honeymoon is over!  Who is that woman emerging from the taxi?!!
