Caray, Caray!

We open with the arrival of the guests to Karim’s party. They decorated the apartment with guazy white material draped over the entrance so one must push them out of the way to walk in. The governor, Doris and Octavio enter and Karim gives Octavio the stink eye, but quickly recovers and welcomes them. Octavio wants to proceed to the drink table but Doris wants to wait for MA to arrive to see her get kicked out like the lower class casino owner she is. In walks MA in her body hugging red dress with her hair down loose and wavy. Octavio moons over her (I hope you know what that means because it describes his look perfectly) and Karim practically knocks Doris over to rush over and give her the welcome we all expect, including the hand kiss, and tells her in front of Dortavio (that’s what I’m going to call them when they are together), that she’s the reason for the party, and the most important guest. Doris is dismayed to hear that. Not only is she dismayed, but she is appalled that she could get the Emir’s attention like that.


Back at the casino, Teo, aka Angel Alferez, is still talking to Raisa at the poker table. She still doesn’t know who he is. He flirts with her and wants to read her palm in order to get to know her better. Boy oh boy, Teo has learned the moves while he was away. That is a good line, guys. He reads in her palm that she’s had a marriage that’s gone wrong and a sister who puts up with her but doesn’t care about her very much. She lives worrying about her uncertain future and too bad about the money and the jewelry that were stolen. Raisa snatches her hand away and he apologizes for making her uncomfortable.

And to put another bee in Doris’s bonnet, daddy then approaches MA and greets her by kissing her hand as well. Karim tells him that since he’s the governor, he has the honor of picking someone and having the first dance. So he promptly picks MA to dance. Karim has to admit to himself that that was well played by the governor. Doris is now about to blow a gasket. MA is pleased to have an excuse to get away from Karim, and quickly agrees to go dancing. Middle eastern type of music is playing and I expect to see some belly dancing, but they are dancing like it’s Sinatra music, lol. Karim tries to interrupt their dancing but a comedic series of women come up to him and dance with him. After the third one, he gives up trying to get to MA. So Doris heads toward papa and tells him that she wants to dance with him and grabs his arm.

Raisa makes her way up to Carola’s office and tells her that the stranger has told her things that there is no way he could have known. Carola dismisses her concerns. But they both agree he seems oddly familiar. Hmm....

 When Doris pulls daddy away from MA, Octavio heads over to Mari and dances with her to squelch a scene. He tells her that Doris is simply jealous because she’s the most beautiful woman at the party.  With everyone watching them she orders him to kiss her so he of course does. He might be oblivious, but he’s not stupid. He kisses her passionately for at least 30 seconds. I know that because I counted the seconds.(the scene was in slow motion, but I counted in slow motion too) MA can’t resist and seems to kiss him back. The Governor, Doris and Karim are all in shock. People, this show is no longer boring. They finally come up for air and Octavio tells her it was an honor to kiss her. She tells him to slow down cowboy, she only did that to teach his girlfriend a lesson, (and to see if kissing him is still as good as she remembered. I think it is.)

We now get interrupted by Raisa and Carola again. They’re still trying to figure out who Teo is. They get Tony involved. (Am I the only one who thinks this Tony is very yummy looking? Give this man a bigger part.) He approaches Teo and lets him know that he knows his name is not Angel Alferez. Tell me what my real name is then, he replies. When Hawt Tony doesn’t answer, Teo says that when he finally knows, to let him know.

Karim is pacing the floor and is in a snit. His men try to calm him down. He orders the music to be stopped.  MA and Octavio continue to dance and someone comes up to them to let them know that the music has stopped. They pull away embarrassed. Doris rushes up to grab Octavio (poor Octavio), and Karim whisks MA away. He wants to know why she was doing that and she says she has no interest in him, she was only trying to keep him away from Doris. It’s a woman thing that we do to each other. (It is?) That makes Karim feel better. He now wants her to be all his since she’s the reason for the party. If that’s the case, she wants him to say it publicly. She wants status on the island as a lady, and if Karim tells everyone the party was in her honor, she thinks that will take care of it. He agrees.

 Meanwhile, Doris is at her finest laying into her father and Octavio. I hate this scene so much I will not recap it except to say “Shut up Doris!”. (I will be saying that a few more times before the show ends, you will know what is happening when I do.) Karim walks to the dance floor and gets everyones attention and announces that MA is his esteemed guest and if you honor her you will be his friend too, or something like that. Oh, and once again, Shut up Doris!

HT (Hawt Tony) reports to Carola that he didn’t find out who he was, but he’s certain that Angel Alferez isn’t his real name. He wonders why Carola cares because Angel lost a lot of money which is good for the casino. She says it’s because she doesn’t trust him and wants to know what he's up to.

Shut up Doris!

MA wants to talk to Krazy Karim in private so he takes her to a tent out back. Octavio sees where they are going and will wait for her to come back.  She wants to return the necklace but he wants her to keep it. She doesn’t want the commitment it suggests but he insists.  She just wants his respect, but he says that he loves her. They struggle, he thinks it’s now time for the kidnapping. He says in 2 hours they will be far away together. She looks at him like he’s Krazy Karim. Karim orders 2 guys to grab her and take her to his plane. Octavio hears MA’s screams and comes to the rescue. He pushes Karim down and punches another, the third one leaves. Octavio tells her to run away. Karim insist that he already had MA and wanted her again. Octavio they asks why he had to kidnap her then if she was already his and says that she was threatening to tell his wife and his father about them and he wanted to keep her quiet. Octavio says he doesn’t believe him, but I'll bet Oblivio does. He lectures Krazy Karim about how to treat a woman and Karim just laughs and says he can give them anything they want. Octavio reminds him that they will not love him for all of his jewelry. Karim then sees what is happening. He asks Octavio if he’s in love with MA. He says he protects women, no matter who they are. Good answer.
MC runs into the governor who is leaving and asks for their help. He puts her in his Limo and they leave. They arrive to her place and she wants the governor to tell Karim he has to leave. He agrees. He then notices his surroundings and comments on the lovely house. He asks if she lives alone and she says she lives with her daughter and the nanny. He’s surprised that she has a daughter and she realizes she said too much and asks that he not tell anyone.

Back at the tent, Krazy Karim is having a melt down. He now wants to come up with a krazier plan to get back at not only MA, but Octavio too. He is sick with vengeance!

Octavio comes to see Eduardo, who is in his jammies getting ready for bed. How cute. He asks how the night went and Octavio tells him he had to fight Karim’s bodyguards to protect MA, and Karim wouldn’t fight because he’s a coward. Eduardo asks why he had to protect her and he says that the Emir set her up. But Oblivio now makes an appearance to tell Eduardo that he believed all the lies that Karim told him about MA.

Shut up Doris!

We close with MA remembering how Octavio saved her from the klutches of Krazy Karim. She knows she has to thank him. And Octavio dreaming of his encounters with MA and MC.
