Caray, Caray!

Past News del Pueblo:

Viv and Rafa’s Place:  Viv says goodbye to Rafa as he leaves to visit his editor in DF and tells him that she loves him.  Rafa answers that she needs one thing, he needs another and they just need time, nothing more. Rafa leaves and Viv ponders perplexed.

Outside LaMQ Office:  Dio steps out of the ranch office and takes the opportunity to needle Dan as he passes by about leaving La MQ (and Camila, of course).  Dan tells Dio to stay away from Camila but Dio responds that he will not need to go to her, but that it will be Camila that comes to Daddy Dio (blehhh!).  Miriam calls from upstairs for Dan and he leaves – but not without pausing to glare while Dio gives Miriam a cheery greeting.  Dio and Dan continue to glare at one another as Dan climbs the stairs!



New News del Pueblo:

Pueblo Partyline:  Mariano is talking to Camila while he is putting Darling Ana to beddy-bye.  Mariano asks Camila if she wants him to go there to be with her.  She wisely declines, appreciating knowing he would be nearby, but it is late in the evening.  They talk about the doctor giving Miriam the news that she is well enough to hear the truth.  Mariano wonders what will happen if the doctor doesn’t clear Miriam?  Camila has never considered that possibility.  She feels sooo bad because Dan is leaving the ranch tomorrow.  Mariano says he understands it is so hard when someone you love leaves.  Between Ana-Maria and himself, however, it was life that decided that she would leave, not him.  He imagines that when one makes the decision to leave (and is still alive), it is worse.  Camila understands what Mariano is trying to say, …. once she had to say goodbye to Luis ….but this is different because this love is alive, it’s rebellious and impetuous!

The scene closes and Viewerville gets a view of the moon in the night sky telling us that time is passing.  A new day at the ranch begins with the bulls being let out of the corrals.  The day is a blank page for our star-crossed lovers’ story to continue.

Stairway in La MQ:  Luzma and Pablo descend together and run into Dan.  Dan is happy to see the pair and to know that things are returning to normal.  Luzma tells Dan that his and Camila’s love will triumph like hers and Pablo’s.  Dan asks Pablo to care for Camila and says he does not trust Dio.  Dan warns Pablo to never leave her alone with Dio and to call Dan if he senses anything strange going on .  Pablo responds with the now standard refrain (but with a different grammatical phrasing!) “Cuentas con ella!”    Dan tells Pablo he takes comfort knowing that Pablo will be there. Pablo also wishes that all go well with Camila and Dan. Hugs are had by all.

Jail del Pueblo: Aaron is working with LeoSordido on his lessons.  Leo hands in the lesson and Aaron proudly announces Leo has written his first work “luz” or “sol” to which LeoSordido vehemently objects.  He snatches the paper back and adds an “ma”  and Aaron figures out what Leo is attempting to communicate - Luzma. Aaron finally catches  on with LeoSordido’s “word” and he tells Leo that he knows the entire story between Leo and Luzma and the baby.  He informs Leo that Luzma is fine (Note to Aaron:  Really?! Mr  Herald-of-Humanity-Formerly-Known-as-Aaron? Leo deserves any news?!) but the baby was miscarried several days ago.  Leo goes berserk and requires restraints upon hearing the news.  Leo tries to choke Mr Herald-of-Humanity and the guards have to pull him off as Aaron tells Leo to “calm himself”.

Streets of El Pueblo:  Switching the mood of our story, the scene reverts to a peppy Nat strolling down the streets of El Pueblo.She stops to buy a copy of Novia magazine and sits on a bench happily turning and perusing the pages.   She comments ecstatically about how handsome Yucky Yago will look all dressed up in his wedding finery.

Jail of El Pueblo: Our story returns to LeoSordido being dragged back to his cell and thrown up against the cell’s bars growling in rage.  Further needing to emphasize that Leo is crazy, the writers have told the music director to add some very dark music.  We get the idea that crazy Leo is not happy with the news he has just received.

El Hostel del Pueblo:  Osvaldo, Padre and Amanda are sitting around the table discussing the recent Nat news.  Osvaldo asks how Yago could have changed his mind so drastically after being so reluctant (renuente).  He asks Amanda if she believed Yago and if he seemed sincere.  She cannot say for sure.  Padre offers that  perhaps Cayetano pressured Yago to change his stance.  Amanda says she thought this too, but also knows that in this day and age, young people don’t feel the need to capitulate to pressure to marry.  Padre wonders that since Yago is the one of the Albarran brothers most concerned about his inheritance, perhaps Cayetano held this over Yago’s head as a threat.  Amanda sighs hearing this and says that she doesn’t want to consider this because shotgun marriages never work.  She doesn’t want to see Nat hurt especially seeing her now.  All Nat can talk about is the wedding, the clothes and the party, etc.  Padre says that this is how young people are, but worries that Nat might be hurt worse if she hears later on that Yago proposed under pressure.  Amanda agrees and wonders how they can investigate?  Padre says he will look into it when Nat comes to visit him about the wedding plans.

Albarran Dining Room:  Darling Ana asks when Rocio will return from the hospital.  Refugio hopes it is soon because a hospital stay for so many days can be depressing.  Yago points out that Mariano’s house still isn’t ready and he is sure Cayetano doesn’t want Rocio living in the main house.  Anywho, Yago says, he has an announcement to make.  He is going to marry Nat.  Ana is thrilled and hugs her tio.  Mariano surmises that Yago knows the baby is his and is glad that Yago  is stepping up to assume his responsibilities.  Bratgirl screeches that Yago is giving in to the manipulations.  Que??  Mariano is baffled as to what manipulations Bratgirl is talking about.  Yago shuts her up in several directions and diverts by saying that Bratgirl thinks that Cayetano’s stance (about assuming responsibility) is a manipulation.  Yago repeats his plan to do what is right (lo correcto) and marry Nat and will keep them posted on the plans.  Viewerville is treated to a few looks of consternation around the dining room table and Yago takes leave.

Courtyard of La MQ:  Ranch hands are packing Dan’s truck with the suitcases while Dante watches and offers sympathy to Dan.  Dio and Agustina stand in the doorway and gloat .  Dio says “Al fin!” and Agustina anticipates tranquility will return to La MQ.  Miriam and Co. come over to say goodbye and offer wishes that they were not too much of a bother.  Agustina lies to her and says not to worry  and that she hopes Miriam recovers and can return to Chile.  Camila, surrounded in her air of aloneness approaches the despedida.  As Camila approaches, Agustina whispers to Dan to leave and to stop torturing her daughter (martirizarse) once and for all.   The star-crossed lovers look at one another longingly as their music plays in the background.  Dio gives another gloating  “Adiossss” and we hear the words to the song ….”no voy a olvidarte jamasssss….” The camera goes wide and long, focused on Camila, very alone in the very big courtyard.  “ Me herida mortallllll…”

Doorway to the La MQ House:  Agustina insists she needs to go to Camila while Dio scolds that if Camila had listened from the beginning, this wouldn’t have happened.  Agustina glares at Dio as he departs and she marches off to see Camila.

Street of Aculco:  Miriam, Dan and Dante stand outside the new casita in town they are about to move into.  Miriam tells Dan that if she had known how hard he was going to take this move, she would never have asked him to move in the first place.  Miriam comments that leaving LaMQ seems to be causing Dan some emotional pain.  She asks Dante if he doesn’t agree with her.  Dante gives some lame excuse to explain what Miriam is sensing –  Dan seems that way because of the rush to move, whatever!  Miriam persists that Dan looks as if he is suffering from some type of nostalgia.  Dan plays “dumb”.  WTQ?  Miriam says Dan has fallen in love with La MQ  and it has transformed him just as it did his mother with some kind of charm (hechizo).

Courtyard of LaMQ:  Agustina has come to counsel and console Camila.  Agustina assures Camila that she understands that it hurts that Dan has left, but it is for the best.  Camila protests that the love of her life is gone and how can this be for the best? Agustina adds that Camila has much to live for – Agustina, the ranch, the bulls…. Camila says she knows what she has but still, Dan isn’t with her.  Agustina counsels Camila that she cannot set her happiness on the destruction of a marriage - Miriam is Dan’s legal wife and she also has his bebe.  She reminds Camila “that which does not start well does not end well”  (la que mal empieza mal acaba).  She urges Camila to not do more damage and to let it go… “Just let it go!”  Camila falls into her mother’s arm in a puddle of tears.  Viewerville  senses there will be more star-crossing to come.

Back in the Street of Aculco:  Dan tells Miriam that places don’t change people.  Miriam disagrees and points out how Dan has changed in many ways:  he has different people around him as well as customs.  She understands that this happened with Agatha because she was lost in love with Don Dan Sr. but she perplexed about Dan being affected this way and cannot decipher this (descifrarlo).  Dan says lots of things have changed him – her coma, his daughter being born far away from him.  Miriam reflects and says that, “the La MQ is a magical place”.

Back at the Courtyard of LaMQ by the Fountain:  Agustina continues her attempts to console Camila (with a sincere effort, but leaving a bit to be desired).  Camila says she cannot let go, and that they never did anything wrong.  She cries that she will die without  Dan.    Agustina says no one dies from love; after all, Camila survived Luis’ death.  Camila says his death was a first hurt and she doesn’t know if she can survive another one.  Agustina insists that Camila can and begs her to please not do something to someone else what Camila would not like done to her.  She worries that Camila will not survive the guilt if she does.  Agustina advises that Camila will not be the only one to ever renounce a forbidden love – a love that cannot live in the light!

Partyline between Osvaldo and Commander Juarez:  Juarez tells Osvaldo that Chonila (the lady who saw Isa leave the hostel after killing Padre Baldomero) has made her declaration.  The Commander is looking for Isa and cannot locate her.  Osvaldo does not know where she is besides the Hotel Imperial and offers to help locate her, but the Commander says he will keep trying.

Airport in Mexico:  Cayetano and Isa stroll in the airport, arm in arm.  Isa asks Cayetano if she can know why he asked her to pack a suitcase with some clothes for different climates.  She asks where they are going.  Cayetano announces that they are off to the Bahamas to get married and then go on a cruise in the Caribbean (Nooooooo, don’t do it Cayetanto, says viewerville – on the other hand, viewerville considers offering to book the pair on a certain disabled cruise ship last seen docked off the coast of Mobile,  Alabama).  Wowwww, says Isa with bubbling insincerity only she can show.  As a last detail, Isa asks for Cayetano’s phone and turns it off, allegedly along with her own.  She explains that this is so no one will interrupt them.  It will be just the two of them – the spider and the fly.

Partyline between Mariano and Commander Juarez:  Commander Juarez tells Mariano that he is looking for Cayetano.  When Mariano tells him that Cayetano is on a trip with Isa, the Commander warns Mariano about Isa leaving the country.  She is suspect numero uno for the murder of age-appropriate fashion as well as the murder of Padre Baldomero.  Que?  Commander tells Mariano that it is urgent that they find Cayetano but to be careful (precavido) not to tip their hand to Isa.  If they do, Cayetano may try to hide Isa and he will then be an accomplice to Isa’s crimes.  Mariano is left muy impactada.

Courtyard of La MQ:  Pablo and Luzma talk together about Camila’s woes.  Luzma notices that Pablo has stayed out of the trials between Dan and Camila.  He admits he has because he knows Mariano likes Camila and essentially tells Luzma it is a conflict for him out of the loyalty for his brother.  Luzma says she understands.  Meanwhile, Mayela arrives for the first day at the office with Pablo.  Luzma thanks her again for all Mayela did for her.  Mayela and Pablo leave for a day at the office and Luzma goes to visit with Camila.

Cabana de Camila:  Luzma commiserates with Camila and says she knows exactly how she feels.  She assures Camila that this separation is just temporary. But, Camila says it will never be the same again because of what Agustina has made Camila see – that Camila will have been the one that separates Dan and the family who are guilty of nothing.  Luzma insists that Camila that she is guilty of nothing either.  Luzma assures Camila that when Miriam is well again and she learns that Dan loves Camila, she won’t want to return to the love she and Dan had before because of guilt.  Camila wonders if this is true – she knows that she, Camila,  would want to fight for the love of her life.  Luzma says she thinks Miriam is the type of woman that would not want to love to be something to fight over.  The two BFFs hug.  Luzma goes to OT and tells Camila that NewGirl is at the ranch and will be working with Pablo today.  Camila is not feeling like talking much but is so grateful for what NewGirl did for Luzma, she will go anyway.  The two BFFs dry the tears, Camila catches and corrects Luzma using the formal “you”,  and they go off together to give NewGirl the proper bienvenida!

Hospital Waiting Room Numero Uno:  Mariano tries to reach Cayetano by phone. Rocio’s doctor emerges from behind the big steel doors and tells him that soon he will release Rocio to go home.  He reminds Mariano that Rocio will need language and movement (motriz) therapy in order to recover. Viewerville hopes the good doc throws in an order to treat chronic snobby-itis as well.

Dio’s Office:  Dio is happy that Yucky Yago has done what Dio asked him to do – propose to Nat.  Dio adds that he will now do what he promised.  Dio is going to give the happy couple a house but reminds Yago that Nat must feel luuuvvvved and that Yago better never consider asking Nat for a divorce.  Yago says there is something he doesn’t understand about all this.  He wonders why Dio is going to all this trouble since Nat doesn’t consider Dio a dad.  Well, funny you mention that , says Dio, and informs Yago that is where Yago will be called to duty again.  Dio says that Nat is his daughter but she didn’t grow up with him and doesn’t know him yet.  Yago is going to be the link (vinculo) to help Nat get closer to Dio.

Church del Pueblo:  Speaking of…..Nat comes bouncing into the church to ask Padre Anselmo about how to arrange the wedding.  Padre asks Nat what Yago said to her and then asks her if she thinks Yago was sincere.  Of course he was, responds Nat (in simpleton mode).  She is sure that Yago was sincere!  Padre tells Nat he just wants to be sure that Yago is marrying for luuuuvvvvv.  She assures him and Padre goes along with the fairy tale and they prepare to discuss the formal steps (tramites) to getting married.

Back in Dio’s Office:  Dio explains that Nat luuvvvvs Yago and that when a female luuvvvs her partner, the partner can persuade her to do many things.  Yago reminds Dio that Nat is not a child.  Dio scoffs at Yago – por favor! -  and says that Yago managed to sweet talk (engatusarse)  Nat to get her to sleep with him so Yago can just keep doing the same thing.  Dio assures Yago that he will get all he wants (dinero – Dio reminds Yucky Yago that pesos are his weakness) as long as Nat is happy.  Oh, and one more thing Dio decides to add, Yago needs to know that there will be no skimping (escatimar) on the wedding.  After all, we have an Albarran marrying a Ferrer – que sociadad!  Dio finishes the deal with Yago by giving him a watch and welcomes his new son-in-law into the family.  Hijo!

Corrals of La MQ:  Bratgirl comes to needle Rodolfo that Nat is going to marry Yago but adds that Yago is only doing it because he is being pressured.  Bratgirl wants to join forces with Rodolfo to interfere with the wedding.  Rodolfo refuses and as the TN earth spins in reverse momentarily,  he says “No cuentas conmigo!”  Bratgirl tries another tack and tries to make a movida on Rod.  Rodolfo drops her on her proverbial patooty and says “los hombres can say no too!”.  Bratgirl is left all behind, alone with her lower lip protruding!

Tostito Moment at El Hostel:  Amanda is cooking up a special breakfast recipe of tinga (shredded meat and chile dish it seems) and Teresa comes in to sample it.    Tostitos tostadas, crema, something else and hold the onions, she requests.  Upstairs, Nat calls Luzma to tell Luzma that Yago has asked her to marry him.

Dan and Miriam’s New House in El Pueblo:  Dan, Dante, Miriam and bebe are moving into the new place.  Miriam loves the warm friendly (acogedora) casita.  Dan offers to go buy all the items that the family will need that are not already there. Miriam promises to cook her way to Dan’s heart and to bake a cake. Dan bounces the baby and heads off to drop Dante at the hostel and then go to the super.

Office at LaMQ:  Mayela, Pablo and Camila get acquainted.  Pablo tells Camila that Luzma agreed to help with Rocio when she leaves the hospital.   Camila, looking surprised, still remarks that Pablo has a great lady by his side and that Luzma has a heart of gold. Pablo agrees and says he would never trade her for anything.  New Girl looks at the pair of them seriously bug-eyed. I do mean seriously.

Community Reading Room:  Aaron asks Viv about what is going on.  Viv says that Rafa has left town before the pair could settle things. Aaron tells Viv to give Rafa time.  Meanwhile Padre arrives and, with all  due respect, proceeds to open his prayerful mouth and insert his blessed sandal inside.  He asks Viv if she has told Rafa about Roman – that is, about adopting Roman.  She sheepishly looks at Aaron, who is standing there looking stunned – and says no.

Office of LaMQ:  Osvaldo laments alongside Camila about her lousy luck with love.   But on the bright side, he informs Camila that Commander Juarez is ready to press charges against Isa for the death of Padre Baldomero.  It seems that the autopsy has shown that Padre Baldomero was suffocated.  Camila says “that woman” (Isa) is abominable!  She offers her help to the Commander via Osvaldo because she was at the hostel when Padre was killed.  Osvaldo makes note of that and the TN world returns to spinning in the normal direction as he tells Camila to “cuentas conmigo”!

Hostel:  Dante checks into the hostel and Dan is introducing him to Amanda.  Dan begs pardon but has to run to the super.  Amanda offers to help Dan at the super as a consultant (asesoria).   Phone jingles and Dan answers.  It is our corruptible clinician Dr Baltierra calling Dan to make an appointment and give him “The News”.  Que?  Dan doesn’t want to wait and tells the doc to spill the frijoles!  Doc does just that.  Miriam, he tells Dan, has an aneurism that is ready to blow should she hear any frightening or stressful news (sobresalto) at all!  This could kill her!  Dan holds the phone looking grim and the camera freezes his face as tonight’s capitulo closes.   Viewerville senses that the stars are crossing themselves ever more between Dan and Camila!

Avances:  “No es justo!” cries Camila.
