"Sh*t just got real" is an expression being used by kids all over America, on Twitter I read something that translated that phrase to "The situation has gotten out of control and is no longer a laughing matter". Folks, on tonight's episode "sh*it just got real", both in the casino and at the Narvaez farm. I've combined events to make it easier for me to get through everything without having to jump all over the place.
We join MC 3.0 in Carola's office, they argue and MC 3.0 does not go easy on Carola and calls her a thief, she tells her that she is a woman of the casino and that she can't yet tell Alejandro that she is his daughter because of his health, but that she has other means of getting what she wants. Carola questions what those other means might be and MC 3.0 tells her that her backup plan is Karim. Carola looks like her lunch might be coming back up.
Also in the casino Mohammed is up to something with two women, I really don't know what's going on but it looks like they are planning something, if any one can help clear up what's going on that would be a massive help! While Mohammed is away Karim is at home wondering why he is not answering his calls, he needs Mohammed now!
Ed and Octavio make their way to the casino, Octavio comments that tonight he is going to hook up with the most good looking woman at the casino and Ed takes this chance to point him in the direction of MC 3.0, Octavio who might have found a little pride at the bottom of his sock drawer refuses to go over and talk to MC 3.0 but Ed says that he wants to say hello to his new friend, he leaves Octavio waiting by the stairs and makes his way to MC . She is afraid that he has told people about the whole "I almost had a baby in a plane thing" and he reassures her that her that her secret is safe with him, she thanks him and says that she will always be grateful to him for keeping her secret.
While these two are talking Karim and his entourage arrive, they come down the stairs and literally bump Octavio out of the way, they don't even apologize! MC 3.0 then loudly exclaims that she has to go tend to the most important guest of the night and goes off to play cards with Karim, at a nearby table Octavio sits and also starts a game of cards. Later that evening a woman approaches him and makes her move, Octavio, in an attempt to make MC 3.0 jealous starts to flirt with the blond.
MC is staring daggers at them and we all know that the blond is lucky that MC 3.0 is no longer a "salvage", otherwise girl would be in a world of hurt. MC 3.0 can only stay away from Octavio for so long and ditches Karim with the excuse of having to tend to her work duties, she then goes to Octavio's table and tries for some conversation but he is not having it, he gets up with the blond and they leave, MC is left alone at the table like a fool. Some time later MC 3.0 walks to the top deck of the boat and finds her husband kissing his new playmate, my sisters’ observation for the night "that awkward moment when you stare at your baby daddy kissing and flirting with another woman and he has no idea who you are". Yeah, that's a little bit awkward.
Carola and Raiza plot, well Carola plots, Raiza just listens. Carola is worried about MC 3.0 using Karim to get at her and she is setting things up to make t seem like the casino is in trouble, by doing this Alejandro will have no other option but to sell it to her.
In Mexico Alejandro is being seen by his doctor who makes it very clear that he is not in good shape, he needs to rest and take all his medications or ELSE. The good doctor and Tobias then exit Alejandro's room and talk about how serious the situation is, if Tobias can't keep Alejandro from traveling, the doctor predicts that he will die!
The next day we see that Tobias has failed to talk Alejandro out of taking his (final?) trip to Isla Dorada, he tries to tell Alejandro to have faith and trust in MC, trust her like he would his daughter. Alejandro points out that she is not his daughter and that he is going to Isla Dorada, he has left all his affairs in order and if anything should happen to him his daughter should have no problem claiming what’s rightfully hers. Viwerville, Don Ale is in bad shape, he can hardly get down the stairs and later at the airport we see him really struggle, the man needs a wheelchair!
At the Narvaez ranch things are not going well for Miguel and Lucia, since finding out that his wife is a killer Miguel has let himself go (hey, who wants to look pretty for the crazy woman that kills old men?). She questions why he acting the way he is (seriously? You can’t think of why your husband might not want to be near you?), everything she did she did for her family, and at any rate this is not her fault! It was Octavio who brought MC into their house, turned their lives upside down and then left, all she was doing was trying to secure her happiness! And then friends, this woman goes into a new level of crazy and suggests that maybe Miguel wanted special favors from Maricruz, that would explain why he was willing to build her a house and look after her and her baby. Miguel looks disgusted and walks away from her, but not before telling her that their marriage is in trouble.
The next day Lucia again approaches Miguel, this time to ask him to re-hire the bastard also known as Eusebio, Miguel balks, he does not want Eusebio on the ranch, but Lucia pleads her case, it’s best that he come back, other wise he might talk and say things that could ruin the families reputation. Miguel tells her that the family name is already soiled by her actions and that what she did will bring bad juju to them. Oh no, every one knows that bad juju is the worst kind of juju! In the end Lucia wins and rehires Eusebio, but not without a show down, she tells him that he is to stay away from her husband because Miguel wants nothing to do with him and she warns that she is a dangerous enemy, if he steps out of line she will kill him, he tells her he is dangerous as well and boy do I hope these two jerks kill each other.
Back in Isla Dorada Alejandro is picked up at the airport by Carola, they talk about him wanting to sell the casino and she offers to buy it from him, she tells him that she will pay him a fair price, maybe even a bit more but he says all he wants is fair market value and nothing more, Carola then asks him how his daughter is doing (she is trying to kill him you guys!) and once in the car she starts to talk poorly about MC 3.0, she even suggests that she might be a hussy!
Alejandro asks to be taken to his hotel and Carola drops him off, then she goes to her office and plots with Raiza, she has a scheme in place to make it look like the casino is in bad shape, she will make it so that no one wants to buy it and Alejandro will have to sell to her, when Raiza asks if she thinks MC 3.0 is really Alejandro’s long lost daughter Carola says that only time will tell.
Teobaldo, bless his little heart goes to visit MC 3.0 and they gossip about Aracely, she left him to go after ED and MC sees nothing but suffering in her future (have you seen Ed without his shirt on? the suffering might be well worth it), Teo then tells her that Alejandro is in Isla Dorada and we get the same old “I can’t tell him I’m his daughter” speech but she does call him and they make plans to meet in the hotel lobby right away.
When MC gets to the hotel she find Alejandro in Octavios company, he helped Alejandro when he almost lost his balance and fell and was looking after him before she arrived. Octavio says his goodbyes and looks from afar as MC hugs Alejandro and rests her head on his shoulder. “What kind of woman are you?” thinks Octavio, and is he really thinking that she has something going on with a guy who can hardly walk?! Maybe she just likes the elderly Octavio, ever think about that?!
Alejandro asks MC why she is pretending to be his daughter and she says that’s the only way she could get Carola and Co to respect her and give her the access she casino, she knows Carola is up to no good! Ale tells her that he is there to sell the casino, she tells him not to do it and to think of his daughter. Alejandro’s mind is made up and he tells her he is going back to his room to rest, she informs him that she wants him to go home with her and he says that that would not be proper but she clues him in to the fact that her baby has been born and she wants him to meet her. That’s enough to get him to go with her, because no one can stay away from babies.
Once in her house she asks him why he does not see her as a daughter, he tells her that he could not deal with her being his daughter, especially because he knows the awful things she’s had to deal with. MC sheds a tear and goes to get the baby, she asks if he wants to hold her (is that even safe?) and he says he has never carried a baby, she hands him the child and Alejandro gives her a kiss and gives her his blessing. Do we know what the kids name is? I have a buck on Alejandra.
Join us tomorrow when more stuff happens. My DVR always cuts off the advances so I have no clue what we are in for tomorrow but I’m sure it will be good stuff!
