Caray, Caray!

De que las noticias vuelen, vuelenI will be out of town next Friday (July 11th) and Tuesday, July 29th. I'm hoping someone is willing to fill in so Kat won't have to.

I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday weekend!

Ugh. This was one of those all-over-the-place and uninspiring episodes. I'm just going to give it the Joe Friday treatment (organized in a stream of consciousness/memory order....not episode order.)

Tad continues to refuse to ask Natalia to be the bone marrow donor. He doesn't want her to think he's just using her. Noble, but stupid.

Brigitte the Brat is still dealing with bouts of nausea. She finally checks her handy-dandy cycle calendar and realizes she must be pregnant. Why the gals always say "no puede ser" is beyond me. Are you having sex? Are you taking precautions? If not then sí puede ser. For the record, it's Rodrigo's. Against Brat's wishes, Alberto talks to Alonso about the nausea and is told it can be anything from an infection to pregnancy. Alberto makes it clear that pregnancy is out. He always took precautions.

Karina is a day late. She wonders if she's pregnant. Brat comes to see her to ask for advice. The fact that Brat is pregnant and Karina wants to get pregnant makes me very nervous.


Kimberly confronts El about the DNA results. He explains it's not him with the baby, but someone else. El takes the results to Diego who stupidly just leaves them on Irene's keyboard at Caprico. Is anyone surprised that Rodrigo got to them first? What really surprised me was that they still managed to make it into Irene's hand....and in this episode no less!!!

The worst part of Rodrigo getting his hands on the results were when Nat walked in...and thought he was Diego and hugged him. In her defense, Rodrigo had his back to her. Diego caught them and there was some jealousy, but Nat defused it (though if the avances are any indication, the event will still be in Diego's head when Rod makes a suggestive statement on Monday.)

Kimberly calls Morales and asks to meet with him. He brings a single rose and professes his love. He even tells her that his boss doesn't deserve Kimberly. Kimberly insists she loves El and it isn't right that Morales is wooing her. He leaves, dejected.

For some unfathomable reason La Jaiba suggests that she and Abdul get married and he agrees. Abdul later runs in to Abdallah who tries to talk him out of it. He also suggests that Abdul look for his dad. The news gets out quickly. Paolo shows up at the Jaiba headquarters to scold Abdul and La Jaiba lets him know about the engagement. He runs to tell Carmen, who gets upset. Angela also heads to Jaiba HQ to scold Abdul. The two of them get into it and he is a jerk. You can do better Angela. Truly you can.

That Crabette that Jaiba kicked out looks for work. La Jaiba told Abdul (who can't remember the night before) that the Crabette left willingly with her novio.

Diego tells Irene about his conversation with Tiburcio and she realizes Vicente has known all this time. She confronts him. They fight. Rod interrupts and threatens to go ahead and tell Nat. Irene panics. Vicente grabs his chest and oh my hopes are raised, but alas it is a false alarm. Damn.

Diego met with the manager of the factory, too. They talked about the machines.

Diego talks about Natalia with Irene. Irene tells him about Tad needing a donor and her fear of being rejected by Nat. She can't seem to find the right time to tell her. She also tells him about the confrontation with Rod and Vicente. Diego then goes to Vicente and Rod and tells them to keep their mouths shut. I think he threatens to break all ties with Vicente. With Rodrigo he threatens to publicly accuse him of the machine fraud.

Annoyed, Rod and Grumps agree that they need to separate Diego and Nat. Thhey also agree they need to get the power away from Diego and Irene. (Definitely didn't pay close attention.) Rod says he has a plan and is willing to carry it out for a little more power in Caprico.

Abdallah and Abdul have lunch. Carmen calls Abdallah's cell and Abdul answers while Abdallah is in the restroom. OOPS. Abdallah calls the number back and acts like it's a business call. He and Carmen will meet later in the park near the fonda.

They meet and Abdallah swears La Jaiba is into him. He calls her and puts it on speaker to prove it. They agree to meet later in his store. Carmen goes with him and hides in the office closet when La Jaiba arrives. Carmen hears La Jaiba admit she's just trying to annoy Carmen by messing with her son. She swears to get rid of Abdul, but she hasn't really getting much of anything from Abdallah either. Carmen is treated to a showcito before Abdallah finally gets a hold of himself and halts the action.

The Crabette tries to get some food for free by running as soon as she's given the good. She runs into Abdul who pays the bill. He looks a little confused.

Alberto spoils Brat. Dear Telenovela Dieties, please get this man with someone worthy. I nominate Angela. He wants to buy an apartment for them. Dumazz.
