Caray, Caray!

Mena,
Umm, did I tell you?!  Maja showed up?!   I told you she was waiting for the big lug (aka “The Perpetually Distraught and Distracted Dan) to vacate his side of the bed.  I know there are those who would prefer to see, shirtless jammie time with Dan, but I for one, appreciate a scene or two with our Furry Four-Legged Friend.
Dell


Dell,
You made your point.
Mena


Camila’s Cabana:  Camila wish bubbles her hope of putting Dio in jail and adds a prayer to the Virgencita for good measure.

Warehouse de LaBV:  LeoSordido skulks about looking for anything to swill or snort.  He finds some toxic solution and takes a swig no doubt hoping to catch a buzz – kerosene, paint thinner or whatever.  His brain can’t get any more toxic.  The BV Rancheros interrupt his buzz and he hides while they talk about his infamy.  They leave and he thought bubbles that he has no care if anyone likes him.  He has found a knife and some acid.  His greatest glory moment will be when he has IsaVibora in front of him and he can seek his long awaited revenge.    He gets his maniacal grin on as he steals away with his tools of torture.



Grounds of La BV:  Isa sneers, swears and soliloquies that Dio will never share the vast lands (or cash out value) of La BV with her.  That is the price he will pay for his obsessive desires for Camila.   IsaVibora is enraged that she is the one who had to sacrifice - immensely – and invest time and effort to mesmerize and murder Cayetano.   She toils while Dio obsesses over his no-longer-secret-fantasy girl Camila.    Indignant Isa wonders why Dio picked the cowgirl when he could have her, Isa, who is so much more of a woman!  [Estimates say about 3-4 sizes more, in fact].

Dio’s Den of Indecent Proposals:  Dio slobbers and soliloquies about Camila and his long anticipated conquest of her.  He breathes harder as he lecherously fondles his ice cold whiskey glass.  [Perhaps Dio has grown accustomed to fondling an ice cold woman?]  He is delusional certain that Camila will remain at his side forever.

Living Room at Mariano’s House:  Ana is playing by herself. Papa asks what is wrong, sensing sadness about her.  She admits that she is sad that her own dream of having both a mama and a papa will never come true.  Roman is about to have both, but she doesn’t see it in her future.  Papa promises her someday it may happen.  Ana wishes for a mama a papa and a little sister.  The newest theme song plays and invites viewerville to consider what pairing this signifies.

Kitchen de LaBV:  Yago interrogates the cook.  He asks if she cooks and adds anything to the food according to Isa’s instruction.  No, the cook says, she does it all herself and Isa has nothing to do with the cooking.  However, she adds, the Patron’s whiskey, tea and coffee are prepared by Isa, no one else.  Hmmm, Yago wonders.  Alas, it would seem that Yago has hit a record number of synapse lighting moments in our story.  His grand total is now two.

Dan and Miriam’s Casita of Half Truths:  Miriam, Viv, Rafa and Roman enter the house after giving Miriam a lift home from a day of cookies and tag at Mariano’s.  Caridad is on break, perhaps reading “A Certain Number of Shades of a Certain Color” and is required to stop to resume poopy doody.   Viv and Rafa bid goodbye, but Roman insists on sampling one more of Miriam Stewart’s super tasty cookies.  They relent and as they seat themselves, a bruised and battered Dan drags in.  Que paso?! An alarmed Miriam wonders what happened and Dan gives yet another lame story about saving a defenseless female from an abusive male tipo.  Viv and Rafa know which defenseless female Dan was really defending but keep up the charade.  They scold him about this being a foolish thing to do.  Dan agrees and says he fears that his actions may have made it worse for the defenseless female.  Miriam is understanding because the Dan she knows cannot leave justice unserved in a situation such as this.   Whew!  So far Dan is out of the woods on explaining this story any further.

Miriam’s Doctor Numero Dos del Pueblo:  Partyline between Dr No 2 (good doctor) and Dr No 1 (bad doctor).  Our good doctor is asking what’s up with this lady with the serious diagnosis and no brain pictures to be found?  Our bad doctor says there is nothing to worry about, the patient can travel back to Chile and will be in no danger.  Our good doctor seems puzzled that someone with such a serious diagnosis should be so active and planning to travel.  Our bad doctor gets huffy and tries to pull rank and tell our good doctor that it was his evaluation and he knows best and the patient can travel.  Our good doctor remembers his Hippocratic oath and says no-can-do; it would be unethical for him to allow her to do so in her condition.   Bad doctor is none-too-pleased as he wants the evidence of his fake diagnosis to go back to Chile far far away.

Dan and Miriam’s Casita de Half Truths:  Miriam plays nurse while Dan groans in pain.  Roman enters the room and talk/shouts “Que Paso?”.  The grownups explain a little bit and Miriam Stewart-Nightingale invites Roman to go collect cookies and medical stuff.  Viv and Rafa take the alone-with-Dan time to scold him some more about his latest escapade with Dio.  Yes, Dan admits it was stupid but he just couldn’t help himself.  They go back and forth about all Dan’s promises to Camila to stay out of her affairs and all his failures to do that.  This time, says Dan, he will.  Really.

Dio’s Den of Dishonor:  Good lawyer comes to visit Dio with divorce papers.  He explains that Agustina wants nothing from him but a divorce.  Dio snarkily replies how coinkidinkily, that is what he wants too. Lawyer logically hands Dio the pen.  Dio, acting all alpha male refuses because “no one tells me when to sign”.  Fine, says our good lawyer, when shall he come by tomorrow to pick up the papers?  Forget it, Dio tells him.  He will sign them when he da#$ well feels like it and deliver them himself to Agustina in prison.  Great!  Just what Agustina needs – Dio’s snarky self to add insult to the injury he has already caused her.

Random Restaurant del Pueblo:  Pueblo has invited Mariano out to eat much to Mariano’s pleasure. Pablo is going stir crazy living without his Luzma.  Mariano gently reminds Pablo that the situation between him and Luzma may last for some time.  Pablo seems unmoved by this comment.  Pablo loves Luzma y punto!  Pablo asks about Camila and Mariano says he fears her love for Dan endures.  Pablo says he understands this undying love where no one else matters [Are you listening New Girl?].  But, he hopes for Big Bro’s sake, this will not be the case with Camila as it is for Pablo.  Mariano agrees and adds that Darling Ana has broken his heart by telling him how much she longs for a mother.

Luzma’s Bedroom:  Luzma imagines Pablo lying in bed next to her.  She apologizes for not being able to supersede her anguish and emotional problem.  She stares out the bedroom window to the grounds beyond.
Hostel:   Nat packs a suitcase and Amanda brings her a bag with toiletries for her honeymoon.  Nat takes the opportunity to tell Amanda how much she cares for her mamita. Amanda returns the lovies and tells Nat how much she has grown up.  Nat wants her bebe to grow up and love her as much as Nat loves Amanda.  Lovies, hugs, and warm fuzzy words are exchanged between the two.

Luzma’s Bedroom:  Luzma continues to take a trip in her head and remembers the past romantic moments with her dearly beloved Pablo.  The loveliness is shattered by memories of the after moments of her trauma and her moments of acting out her pain by smashing the glass in Pablo’s face.  She continues to stare wistfully out the window into the night.   From her window a figure becomes clearer to her….. it is LeoSordido.  Luzma shrieks over and over.  Piedad and Hipo run to her room and attempt to calm Luzma down.

Partyline:  Dan calls Camila and apologizes for meddling, again.  He hopes he has not made the situation worse for Camila.  Camila agrees and warns him to be careful, himself, since Dio likely wants to do Dan harm (she is careful to keep Dio’s actual threats secret).  As they talk, Miriam enters the room and listens to Dan talking to Camila.  Camila tells Dan she will never forget their love etc. and says, again, bye forever. [Viewerville is trying not to keep score on just how many final goodbyes these two have already exchanged.]    Dan and Camila hang up and Dan says “mi Camila” aloud.  The sh#$ hits the fan as Dan realizes that Miriam has been listening to their conversation.  Miriam accuses him of lying to her again and playing her for the fool.  She realizes that the poor defenseless woman was none other than Camila.  Dan says he didn’t lie, he just didn’t tell her everything.  Miriam [with Viewerville’s approval] says his half lies are basically the same thing.  Dan says he did it to avoid the very discussion they are having right now and that he is sorry.  He tells Miriam the truth about why he went after Dio; that Dio wants the ranch in exchange for Agustina’s freedom.   He adds that Dio also wants a night of nooky with Camila as well.  Miriam is aghast and immediately understands Dan’s actions.  Of course he should defend a woman against being treated as an object!  [Mr. Mena pipes in at this point that as long as Miriam is for team Dan, this might be a good time to drop the news that while she was, er, sleeping and he escaped from jail, he happened to have gotten married to defenseless Camila.]   The goodwill fades after Miriam points out that this is yet another example of Dan not sharing what he is thinking with her.  She adds that she will be happy when the pair of them return to Chile and are away from all this.

Luzma’s Bedroom:  Piedad and Hipo continue to try to console Luzma.  Hipo says no one saw LeoSordido and maybe Luzma’s imagination got the best of her.  Luzma insists this was not her imagination.  Either way, Hipo assures her, the grounds are being watched and LeoSordido won’t  stand a chance against all the vigilance.  Piedad echoes the reassurance and says LeoSordido is not stupid enough to lurk with all the vigilance.  Viewerville is not so sure of his brain health after seeing LeoSordido swill whatever chemical mix was in the warehouse, but hopes Piedad and Hipo are right.

Grounds of La MQ:  LeoSordido skulks into the night with his maniacal grin.  He is please to have learned where Luzma is.  He vows to return for her after he takes care of his business with IsaVibora.

Maid’s Quarters:  Piedad and Dorotea talk about Luzma’s sighting of LeoSordido.  Piedad is gathering her things to spend the night with Luzma.   She mentions, on an aside, to Dorotea that she has a little lump on her chest that comes and goes.  Dorotea tells Piedad she should have the lump checked by a doctor.  Piedad tells Dorotea to stop, she is scaring her.   Piedad goes on her way, appearing to disregard her obvious symptom.

Morning Break at La MQ:  The bulls run through the pastures as our helicopter passes over them.
Luzma’s Bedroom:  Irena and Luzma talk about Luzma’s scare of the previous night.  Irena wonders if the sighting is real or a result of Luzma’s  tortured imagination.  On a happier note, Irena has come to deliver Luzma’s report card and graduation certification to her.  It seems Luzma has received good grades and Irena hopes she will study psychology as she had planned.  Luzma does not seem hopeful as it was her dream to be married to Pablo and study at the same time.  Irena talks about her own plan to study and work with her father.  The pair agrees that their lives are going on in different directions.  They agree that they will still remain friends.

Jail:  Agustina mops with great difficulty.  Her prison mate relieves her of this burden telling Agustina she is
not meant to do this type of work.  The two talk about Agustina’s cellmate, Carmela.  Agustina speaks of how she admires her for her bravery in protecting her daughter.  Her friend agrees that, yes, mothers will do anything for their children.  She shares her own story with Agustina.  Her son accidentally shot  his companion. In order to save her son from prison, she took the gun from him and claimed she shot the companion.  She has no regrets because her son has made something of his life.  He is studying to be a lawyer and had hoped to gain his mother’s freedom.   Unfortunately the companion died and she received the maximum sentence for the crime.

Partyline:  Teresa and Camila talk about Camila’s hope to find evidence against Dio very shortly.  Teresa hopes this will help, but suggests that their efforts may not be enough to get the proof.  Camila asks  about Chonita, the long lost witness.  Teresa says that unfortunately, no one has been able to find her yet.  Camila hopes aloud that they will succeed in gaining her mother’s freedom and er, Daniel.  Que?  Teresa wonders what Dan has to do with this.  Camila catches her slip …. “Dan? Did I say that? Er, no.   Camila is careful not to reveal Dio’s added threat against Dan.

Jail:  Agustina continues to talk with her prison mate.  She agonizes over being a selfish mother and all that it has cost her.  She says it cost the life of one of her children.  She laments now being a burden to Camila.  Her new friend consoles her and says time will tell when she can be more the mother she wants to be. Agustina thanks her and admits she never expected to find such friends in , of all places, jail.  She adds these are women who really know how to be mothers. [Let’s hope Martians are not watching our TN thinking we generally jail our most selfless mothers, sheesh!]

Hostel:  Aaron and Amanda talk about Amanda having cultivated such a good kid after all. [Recall that this was in question a mere week before.]  Amanda and Aaron talk about gratitude and about real friends being the ones that are there through good times, but more importantly the difficult times.  They talk about being friends for the rest of life.  Aaron-Goodwill-Love-Peace-Humanitarian seems to be rubbing off on Amanda.

Dinner Table at La BV:  Isa, CayeTanDrogado and Yago eat breakfast together.  Isa gushes about the soon-to-be-married Yago.  [Way to get to Yago’s heart, yessirree.]  Isa gushes about Yago  his love for Nat [ackkk] and Isa’s love for CayeTanDrogado [All together Viewerville – gag.].   CayeTanDrogado asks if Rocio will be attending Yago’s wedding.  Yago replies that she will not.  Caye is pleased because it is a special day.  Yago looks puzzled at Pops’ comment.

Dinner Table at Mariano’s Place:  Ana reaches for a Miriam cookie and offers one to Rocio.  She declines as she fears she will not fit into her mother-of-the-groom dress if she indulges in too many of these super tasty Miriam cookies.  Que?  Ana asks if all is now well between Rocio and Yago.  Well, no, replies Rocio, but she will go as she did to Pablo’s wedding, incognito.  Mariano looks at Rocio in surprise and Refugio confirms that indeed Rocio was there.  Rocio assures all that she will attend with gladness this time, not madness like last time.

Camila’s Cabana:  Dorotea comes to see Camila and tell her of her worries about Piedad.  She is reluctant to tell Camila, but feels she must tell Camila about the lump that Piedad told her she discovered on her chest.  Camila assures Dorotea that she will take care of it and asks her to have Piedad come talk to her.  Dorotea takes leave and Camila calls the hospital to find a good oncologist.

Viv and Rafa’s Place:  Aaron arrives, followed by Dan.  All are wondering why Aaron has asked them to gather.  Aaron announces he is returning to Chiapas on Saturday morning.  They remind Aaron he will miss the not-made-in-heaven-wedding, but Aaron insists, this is something he must do.

Dining Room de LaBV: Isa brings CayeCasiMuerto his café for the day and Yago springs another synapse.  Total 3.  He jumps up to show some pictures on his phone and coinkidinkily knocks the coffee cup off the table. Isa blows up.  Yago insists on making the replacement coffee himself.  On a roll, he wonders about what happened to the visit to the doctor and how it became a visit to the lawyer. Isa scrambles for a cover story and says Pops is confused and that indeed they went to the doctor and he gave him some pills for the memory and all.  Yago wonders if he can have the info on the doctor so he can talk to him too.  Isa scrambles some more and says that by the time the results of Pops’ tests are back, Yago will be long gone on his honeymoon.  No worries, Yago replies, Mariano can take up where Yago leaves off.   Isa agrees and is left to steam and stew about Yago’s interference and the camera closes out for the night.

Avances:  Teresa is pregnant and Los Rancheros etc. search for Dio’s magic suitcase.
