Holy Gym of Comeuppance
When last we saw el "Cura Metiche", as Seba calls him,
he had just given Seba just a bit of the comeuppance he's got coming to him.
He delivers to blows to the old breadbasket and then has Seba by the
throat and asks him if he'd like to die. Padre appears to be afraid of
his own strength and backs off. Sebas, never one to know when enough is
enough, lunges after the good Padre when his back is turned. Padre makes
quick work of him and throws him against the bookcases, which aren't very
secure cuz they fall right over. He reaches to help him up then tells him
to leave. Apparently, Sebas has had enough “spiritual counseling” for one night
and finally leaves. Padre is left alone to pick up the pieces.
Outside, Sebas, con cara de mil chingazos, calls a friend. The
phone rings at the beach house. Marilu announces it's Sebas. Paloma wants
to answer but Oriana figures it would be best to ignore him. Sebas is really
pithed and races away from the church.
Beach House
Oriana suggests they do something about all these darn cell phones.
She’s fine because "Ricky gave me his." Marilu and Fidelia
agree.
HolyGym
Ricky arrives and is shocked to see Padre Plaid in such a state.
(Oy, you should see the other guy, oof!) Padre reminds Ricky he studied
medicine before joining the Plaid Order and knows how care for himself. Ricky assumes the assailant must be someone
he knows. Otherwise, Mariano would tell
him. He gets to the point of his visit: Maria's surgery. He also tells
him the womenfolk are fine, except that Fabi attempted suicide. Mariano is
shocked.
Casa Leonardo and Abuelo
Leonardo and Gramps discuss Fabi's situation. He tells Gramps
he's found out that Sebastian is an irresponsible drunk addict. Gramps,
as usual, already knows this. Luscious Leo confesses he has feelings for Fabi.
Gramps tells him that girls have a soft spot for pets (mascotas). Since Tito's now on the mend (now walking on that
bad leg and ribs are healing) maybe he should call the girl with an update.
Beach House
Leonardo calls one of the cell phones and Oriana answers. He
gives her the good news about Tito’s health. He'd be happy to keep him
but isn't sure he'd get along well with Neron. note: Leos full name
Leonardo Olvero de la Garza While Oriana's on the phone, Fidelia suggests
he take Tito to her house so Ricky can transport him to the beach house.
Paloma warns they should make sure who they're dealing with.
Ori asks for Leo' address. He hesitates and Grandpa signals "no
way". In the end, he tells her he'll take Tito to Ricky's. He asks for
Fabi but Ori tells him she's indisposed. note: Leo gives Oriana his full name:
Leonardo Olvero de la Garza. Later,
Fidelia and Paloma talk about the Olveras, trying to figure out if Leo's part
of that family.
Bungalo Azul – Who knew? Gramps is a spook!
Piero and Ricky discuss Mariano's beating. He doesn't know
who did it, but when Ricky finds out, he plans to make him pay. Ricky talks
about Tito, which leads to Leo, which leads to Gramps. Leo's father used
to sell them cotton but Ricky had to sever ties with him because of the declining
quality of the product. Piero figures out that Gramps is Homero de la Garza, ex-Director
of the Federal Intelligence Agency. He's an important guy who can come in
handy with their problem with JL!
Homer's House
Leo and Gramps are having a heated discussion because Leo told
Oriana his name. Gramps knows something's up. It's obvious Fabiola, Inez,
Paloma and who knows who else, are in hiding, and who knows from whom.
Besides, Leo knows full well he doesn't want anyone coming to bother him
at his house. Leo reminds him this is also his
house and besides, Gramps did say he wanted to meet Fabiola. Homer admits
that but something isn't right here.
Bungalo Azul
Piero and Ricky continue to discuss Mariano and that he doesn't
want to divulge who accosted him. Mariano doesn't like to make a fuss about
these things and isn't likely to press charges. The subject turns to
Fabiola and Piero repeats he is willing to marry her despite the age
difference. (Piero’s sudden obsession with Fabi is starting to creep me
out) Ricky realizes Piero would like be a great dad and wonderful husband
but they have to take Fabiola's wishes into consideration. Piero wants to see
her and insists on knowing where she is. Ricky reminds him they agreed no
one would know where they're hiding. He has to keep Oriana and Alina safe.
They don't know who's watching or monitoring their movements.
What else can they do? hire more guards, more cars? Ricky's even
considered sending them abroad but is convinced they're safer here with him.
He tells Piero how Oriana printed out documents from JL's computer
and he now has his jefe's email. Maybe he can contact him and tell him JL's out
of line. Piero scoffs at this, asking if Ricky thinks the jefe would listen to
him. Ricky's not sure but he has to do something to contain that scumbag.
Aresti Breton
What does the wardrobe department have against our galán? He's sporting
a very thin cravat today, ugh! Don't they have Policia de la Moda on TNs?
Anyway, Ricky and his cravat arrive for work (he wears it all
day). Manriquez is waiting for him. He's brought a copy of Maria's birth
certificate wherein we learn her mother is Celeste Flores de Jimenez, meaning
that Benigno really did marry Maria's mother. Manriquez feels it will be
difficult to find her now. As for Paloma's idea to adopt Oriana and give
her Inez's name? It ain't gonna be easy. Even if Oriana were to take on the
name of Inez Aresti, it won't absolve her of identity theft charges(duh!)
Stay with me here, there's a lot of twists to this discussion:
·
Oriana
can say she had to flee the clutches of JL and was forced to take on another
identity
·
But,
she's being sought in Mexico for Gabriel's murder.
·
And
now Berto -- Gabriel's assassin -- is dead.
·
But
hey, wasn't Lila suspicious that her brother may have been the one who killed
Gabriel?
·
What
about Berto's murderer? The cops have very few leads but have an
artist's rendition (retrato hablado)
of the killer based on the description by the hotel clerk and JL.
Unfortunately the killer is a common type guy. All they know is
that his name is Eliseo, but don't have a surname.
·
Ricky
pleads with Manriquez to help him free Oriana of all charges. Manriquez
is trying but has been unable to find a way.
Beach House.
Oriana speaks with Ricky. Some lovey dovey talk -- I miss
you, when's Tito coming home, etc. Ricky asks for Joaquin Barragan's
email address(JL's boss). He wants to send a message asking him to order JL to
leave her alone. Oriana's hesitant but Ricky insists.
Casa de Cara de Mil
Chingazos (Seba's place)
Ricky next calls Seba who figures he's calling to lecture him
about beating up on a priest. Ricky never would have thought Seba would be so
contemptible (ruin) to do this when
he knew Mariano wouldn't defend himself. "Oh yeah? Well he
grabbed me by the throat and almost choked me. He even hit me!"
Ricky's doesn't disguise the fact that he's glad Mariano got in a few
good shots at Seba. But enough about that (what about the beating Ricky
promised to give the guy to beat up Mariano?). Ricky tells him about Maria's
surgery, wondering if Seba would be interested in seeing her. She's his mother
after all. Seba tells Ricky he only says that because he's from a good
family and wasn't born of a loca mother. All that's left to find is which
criminal drug addict might be his father? Seba actually sheds a tear. (Nah,
still don't feel sorry for him. He's only thinking of himself again.)
He hangs up on Ricky.
Ricky gets busy on his computer and sends an email to Joaquin
(who's busy trying to do the horizontal mambo with a young thing in his
office). Basically, Ricky tells him that his employee is putting Joaquin's business
at risk. Ricky has the goods on JL that can end up putting him in jail.
Never mind sending someone to kill Ricky because there are others who
know everything he knows. He asks Joaquin to get JL to leave Oriana and
her family alone or he'll spill the frijoles.
Joaquin leaves his playmate long enough to realize this email is
important.
Hospital
Ricky visits with Maria (OMG, the actress actually shaved her
head! Way to be true to your character! Brava!) Doc gives a concerned glance at
a still-healing at Mariano before taking Ricky in to see her. Ricky
assures her he will never stop caring for her. He lies and says Seba is away
and wasn’t able to come see her. Maria has always loved Ricky and even
hoped they could be novios. Ricky tells her they're much more than novios
-- they're friends. And friends can
always be counted on for a hug. She's very afraid. He tells her everything
will be fine; to think of the day she walks out of here and they could have another
hug. She wishes this day would last forever and that they could hug. Nothing
else would matter to her. Ricky hugs her and she cries.
QTH? Commercial break ends with that shot of Oriana's
deer-in-the-headlights look as a truck crashes into her car.
Trejo Bonfil Textiles
Don Alfredo agrees with JL on the new name for the company:
Arte Folclor. Antonio explains the name reflects their plan to export
Mexican folkart - pottery, sculptures, ceramics, the works. Alfredo will
get 40% and 60% will go to Caribbean Investment Company. JL announces
Alfredo will be named President of Arte Folclor. and the VP will be Antonio.
The next step is to open a bank account and then the funds will be
released. JL next "advises" Alfredo to assign a new accountant, and a
shipping supervisor, people who Caribbean Investment Company know and trust.
Alfredo's resistant to this but eventually gives in. Everyone signs.
Antonio hesitates for a split second then proceeds to sign........his
life away! tan....tan...TAN!
HOSPITAL
Mariano is next to visit Maria who immediately notices his
injuries. Mariano asks if she's ready to confess her sins. Maria
has no sins. All she's ever done is harass her dolls, and maybe some
people too! Tee-hee! She tells him Ricky and she are no longer novios.
They're now BFFs. Maria is eventually wheeled away to surgery.
Beach House
Oriana offers Fabiola her support and kindness. Fabi is
convinced Sebastian only offered to marry her for selfish reasons. Oriana
assures her she and her baby will be happy. She tells her Seba called Fidelia looking
for her. Fabi doesn't want him to know where she is. She's not so worried
she'll give in to him as much as her mother's insisting she marry Seba.
Oriana tells her Matilde can't force her to do anything she doesn't want
to do. She'll be 18 in a few days and she'll have to respect her
decision. Speaking of which, they want to celebrate her birthday. Fabi
doesn't feel much like celebrating. Well, ok how about a dinner? Fabi
asks about all the guards and Oriana explains Ricky hired them. They're
worried JL could come and take Alina. On a happier note, Oriana tells her about
Leonardo’s call and the return of Tito. Oriana encourages her to call him
back but reminds her not to tell him where she is.
Hospital
As expected, there were complications and Maria is now in a coma. (we all knew this would happen, righ?)
Casa de las Garzas
Gramps is admiring Leo's portrait of Fabi when her call rings in.
They chitchat and he insists on taking Tito himself (ruh-roh). He
needs to give her and Alina instructions on the care and feeding of our Champion
Chihuahua. Alina's with her, right? Maybe that hotel doesn't admit
pets. Fabi stupidly tells him they're not at a hotel, they’re at Fidelia's
house. oopsie! He promises not to tell if she tells him where she
is. She also tells him they're switching out they're cell phones and she'll
give him her new number when she gets it.
Bungalo Azul
Ricky calls Oriana to tell her about Maria's coma. He also tells
her about the e-mail he sent Joaquin. He'll tell her more once he gets a response.
Benigno’s Place
Ricky arrives to tell Benny about Maria's coma. Benny
doesn't seem too interested in seeing her, what's the point? His golfa gf
(can't remember her name) cuts in, saying they'll definitely visit Maria.
Ricky tells him he verified Maria's mom, Celeste Flores, and asks if
Benny knows her whereabouts. Benny gets agitated, saying she left a long
time ago. How much is Ricky willing to pay for the info? Bring me the
info and then we'll talk. hmmmmm
Casa de las Garzas
Gramps puts his sleuthing skills to work. So, it's true
they're in hiding. Perhaps Fabi is hiding from Seba. Inez and her
daughter from someone else. Leo tells him Fabi wouldn't tell him where
they are, only that they're at a beach house belonging to Fidelia. Gramps
laughs and says he knows where it is. It's called Ell Ojot, near Bahia Kino.
This is a job for Sherlock Holmes. Actually he's more astute than
his British counterpart. Sherlock didn’t gave the internet, chat, or any
of that. Leo tells him to get on with it then. Homer says he'll tell him
when he's good and ready. He's concerned Leo could get involved in something
he’s not ready for. Leo complains he's not a kid. He knows how to take
care of himself. That may be, says Gramps, but he can be a bit
harebrained (atolondrado).
Beach House
Everyone's gathered in the living room when Marilu arrives with
the new cell phones. Paloma doesn't want a new phone. In fact, she's fed up.
She wants to go home. Oriana apologizes for causing her so many problems.
Paloma doesn't want her blaming herself. She announces that as soon as
they celebrate Fabi's birthday, they're going back home. Fabi doesn't want to
celebrate her birthday. Paloma insists they should celebrate her coming
of age. Oriana tells her she'll now be able to be her own boss. They give Fabi
several options: Paloma tells her she's always welcome at her home.
Fidelia offers her home if Matilde creates drama. Oriana suggests working
with her at the library job Mariano offered. As for Seba -- well Ricky
will make sure he won't bother her anymore.
Bennys Place
Benny's golfa gf nags him to find Maria's mother.
Casa de MataPerro, well,
Casi MataPerro
Raquel calls JL and suggests they go out and have a drinky-poo
followed by dancing, etc. He asks if she found out where Oriana is. Nope,
and Lucina doesn’t know either. Come on, let's go out. JL barks at her, telling
her to get the info he asked for and then they can do whatever she wants.
He hangs up on her but the phone rings again. Assuming its Raquel, he answers
rather rudely but it's Snaggletooth himself: Joaquin. And he's not happy.
He wants to talk about all the stupidities he's committing. He’ll
meet him at the Hotel Platina tomorrow a10:00. Uh-oh -- Joaquin is coming
to Mexico. He explains this is all as a result of an email he received
from Ricardo.
Bungalo Azul
JL goes to see Ricardo demanding to know how he got Joaquin's
info! Ricky's gone too far and he won't allow it! He's getting into
his affairs. Ricky: And you've butt into my life. Oriana and I were
novios, planning to get married, thinking you were dead. JL: But
I'm NOT DEAD! I came to reclaim my daughter and my wife! Ricky: Neither
of them want to live with you. JL: I can make them. Ricky:
Only if you kill me. I don't think Joaquin Barragan would appreciate losing
business due to the stink my murder would cause. JL: You think you're so
smart. Well, I can get you out of the way without getting my hands dirty.
Ricky: Just like you did with Berto Martin? JL: Don't mess with me or
you'll regret it. I swear you'll regret it.
Avances
Dang! Raquel finds Oriana – and tells JL
JL tries to convince Joaquin to have Ricky killed
Eliseo has Ricky in his gunsight.
