I missed this last night.....As
Aracely and Irma are walking out, Aracely says “No one beats you when it comes
to being obsessive and stubborn.”I'm laughing so hard I can barely type! Pot calling Kettle....
Now for the new stuff...
Escuela Primaria Jaime Nunó
Irma is giving the headmaster a
bs line about having to go see a sick relative and that's why she's there so
early to get Nandito. Oh, and dad can't
come cuz he's working. Headmaster says
okie doke and Irma smiles her sly little snake smile.
Later, as she walks hand in hand
with her son, she explains she picked him up early because his father doesn't
want her to see him. So she came early
cuz she really wanted to see him. She's
afraid Armie will succeed in separating them. Nandito tells her he already told
Armie he wants to move back and live with her.
Irma lays on the guilt and says she was afraid he had stopped loving
her. Nandito asks why his Papito stopped
loving her. She blames it all on that “chancluda” (Mexico slang for ho). Nandito tells her Alexa claims that's not
true and that she never hit Irma. He
goes on to say Alexa was there last night and that Armie agrees that she never
hit Irma. Irma tells him this proves
Armie and Alexa have joined forces to tell him nothing but lies so he'll stop
loving her. Nandito tells her they've
also lied to him about being novios even though he knows they are. Irma latches on to that sentiment and
explains this is why Armie left her, so he could be novios with that
“chancluda” and marry her. And now he's
trying to keep her from Nandito. He
starts his fake crying and tells her he doesn't like Alexa anymore. He even returned Pigleto and now he's gonna
miss him, too. Waaaaaah. Irma soothes her crying son and tells him she's
glad he put that chancluda in her place along with her smelly pigleto.
Empressa Ripoll
Princess Sofia comes to Queen
Greta. She explains she now knows that
Pato was behind giving her the name of Cipriano. She doesn't want to hear anything from Greta
but says she's trying to forgive her although it's gonna be really
difficult. Greta explains all about
Unbreakable Vow protocol. True, she
remained silent and lied and she may deserve Sofia's disapproval. But despite all these bad things, Sofia now
knows Paco is her father and that Octavio always knew. She should be happy with that, as for
herself, well......she only asks that Sofia forgive her for all her
mistakes. Sofia's trying to make up her
mind.
Oficina de Peralta
Peralto is on the phone with the
bank rep, Urrutia. He's just waiting for
the bank officials to make their decision regarding Ripoll. He's followed Peralta's instructions to the
letter and expects the obvious, that their decision will not be in Ripoll's
favor. After he hangs up, Peralta's
henchman asks if he plans to continue with his dastardly plan even though he
fancies Sofia. Peralta assures him
nothing comes between him and his plans.
Why should he content himself with just one, when he can have her and her business? Bwa ha ha!
Empressa Ripoll
Chava makes a quick visit to
Armie before leaving. He explains how
Paco is actually Sofia's father!
Pato's office
Greta is so grateful to Pato for
what he's done when it was her plan all along.
(It was really Pato's plan but he's manipulated her so well that he's
got her thinking it was hers all along, the sneaky bastard) Anyway, he says he's glad he was able to
deflect Sofia's wrath away from her.
Greta wants to tell Sofia the truth but Pato won't have it. He's willing to make the “sacrifice” and
thinks it's best to leave things as they are.
Greta fears Sofia's anger will lead to his firing. Pato tells her she can vouch for him to the
board and avoid that. He's the only one
standing against Chava taking control of the company. Really, who can she trust to pull Sofia
ahead, Pato? Or that arribista
Chava? Greta wonders. It won't be easy. Sofia will influence the board members to
withdraw their support for Pato. Well,
Pato is sure they'll see that the company will fail without his continued
presence. Well, Greta can't do anything
about Sofia's decisions but she will present the arguments in his favor to the
board.
Sofia's Office
Sofia tells Ollie it isn't
possible to eat with him due to some pressing family matters. After he leaves, Dani insists on knowing what
she's talking about. Sofia tells her
she'll find out at lunch, when they're all together.
Ollie calls Dad to advise lunch
with Sofia is cancelled. He's not happy
and wants Ollie to tell them everything's arranged but they can reschedule for
dinner. Ollie's caught in the middle and
tries to tell Dad they may not be able to.........but Dad hangs up on him. Peralta, speaking to himself, says Sofia will
soon learn her beauty won't help her change the plans of a man like him.
Studio
Alexa tells Paolo her lunch plans
have changed. He tells her he and
Guillermo can take care of choosing the accessories for her character's
wardrobe. He promises not to make her
end up looking like Irais. He wants her
role in this movie to end up making her a star!
Back at Ripoll
Ollie tells Dani his dad was
miffed. Dani's not sure if they can
count on Dinner, what with Sofia's mysterious lunch summons.
Casa de Ripoll
Greta tells Fausto that Sofia
knows all now. Greta suffers over the
recriminations of her daughter and her late husband. Fausto insists this has all turned out for
the best. He's surprised to learn that
Pato is taking the blame for the false dad story.
Casa de Chava
Lupe is glad Paco finally told
Sofia the truth. She blabs on to say
that Sofia was there earlier and had told her she was so happy to learn he is
her father. Paco thanks her for blabbing
to him. If it hadn't been for that, he
never would have confronted Greta. He
explains how Greta insisted on keeping her secret. Part of him understands how difficult it must
have been to break that Unbreakable Vow.
Lupe focuses on the positive. He
will now be able to enjoy his daughter and love her as he should, as his
daughter. He tells her about Aracely's
negative reaction to the news.
Empresa Ripoll
Aracely arrives and wants to
speak to Princess Sofia. In her office,
Sofia is praying, giving thanks for bringing Paco into her life. Ruh-roh – Aracely is there. Sofia squints.....and so does Aracely. This does not look good. Good time for a commercial break.
Sofia offers her coffee. Aracely wants nothing from her only to say
this story about her being Paco's daughter is pure fantasy. Anything coming from her mother's lips is
pure lies. Sofia reminds Aracely that
Greta and Paco once shared a great love.
Aracely counters, reminding her this is not the first time Greta's made
up stories for her convenience and she's done it for years. Sofia believes her mother wouldn't have
wanted this to come out but Aracely finds it curious she's decided to reveal
the truth now, of all times. And please,
Greta's lived her life telling everyone lies.
First she lied to Paco, who lived his life bogged down with her memory
and embittered by her deceit. This kept
him from giving his all to Aracely's mom.
Sofia tries to apologize for her feelings but Aracely's on a role, “He
was never able to forget her and you're the result of an immense love, whereas
me, I'm the result of disillusion. My
father never, NEVER, loved my mother as she deserved to be loved!”
Casa de Ripoll
Greta explains Pato's motive for
taking the blame – so Sofia wouldn't think the worst of her mother. Fausta calls bs, saying this sounds too much
like a fairy tale. First Paco threatens
her with telling the truth and now he comes out with this noble act? Really?
This isn't like him. Greta agrees
Pato's actions may not always be correct but who's she to judge. She's been known to act in a way that may
even seem cruel. Fausto suggests she
take advantage of this situation and fire Patricio but Greta can't. Even though Pato has blackmailed her, today
he showed great loyalty to her and to the company. No way would Fausto ever trust him. Greta just can't think about this right
know. There's too much going on in that
pea brain of hers. Her relationship with
Sofia is so damaged now. All she can do
now is ask God for her forgiveness.
Renzi Realty, where flipping houses is our
specialty
Renzi is so happy to see his
cousin, “Ay, Primazo del Primor!” Patrick
doesn't even respond with so much as a “Hola!”
He comes in swinging. BAM! POW!
WHACK! Renzi gets in a few too, before
Patricio pulls back and sends Renzi hurtling over a chair, bloodied and very
much in surprise.
Empresa Ripoll – Como Agua Para Chocolate,
Ripoll, that is.
Sofia doesn't think it's their
place to discuss the errors of their parents.
Aracely takes exception to including her father in this. The only one who made mistakes was Greta. Sofia insists their mistakes are none of
their (hers and Aracely's) business. “Of
course it is,” shouts Aracely, “because if they had made other choices, you and
I wouldn't be sharing the same blood.......and love for the same man. (wait, what?) But in your case, I'm sure what you feel for
Chava isn't love, it's nothing more than one of your whims.” Sofia declares she lurves Chava with all her
heart (soul) and she's never felt this with anyone else. Aracely recalls that not too recently, Sofia
didn't want him anywhere near her. Sofia
admits this is true. It took some time
for her to realize what she was feeling and to overcome some of her
prejudices. But now, she loves Chava
more than anything in the world. Aracely
is appalled and starts to applaud, “Bravo, you're almost convincing. Please, don't give me that talk of love. Especially when I know what it means to love someone. I've loved Chava unconditionally, with no
doubts, as opposed to you....?” “I no
longer have doubts,” replies Sofia, “I've put my heart and my life in his
hands.” “No, Sofia, you have no idea what
it means to deliver yourself to a man completely, to love him more than you
love yourself. I ask each day for your
relationship with Chava to end. Why are
you so surprised? That I speak frankly
and not be a hypocrite like you?” Sofia
finds it sad that Aracely can't be happy for Chava. Aracely repeats that Chava cast her aside and
it's all Sofia's fault. Sofia pleads
with her, “For God’s sake , how can you hate me so much, we're sisters.” Aracely's response is predictable, “You will
always be my rival, NEVER my
sister. You hear?”
Renzi Realty – Kissing Cousins no more
The cousins are still at it, Pato
accusing Renzi of ratting him out to Peralta.
Renzi finally manages to call out for security and someone shows up to
separate them. Pato wants to kill him
but agrees to calm down. Renzi releases
the security guy but asks him stay nearby, just in case. Pato wants an explanation from Renzi who says
he did it for his own good. He had
warned him Silvana was going to be a problem.
Pato seems to think all he had to do was marry her and that would
silence her. Renzi feels Silvana is
nothing less than a time bomb. She would
have blackmailed him the rest of his life to keep him in line with what she
wanted. It was best to make a clean
break before they were all taken down.
Pato accused him of taking him away from the woman he loves. Renz's convinced he's done the right thing
and Pato will thank him later. Pato
approaches menacingly, saying he will never forgive him.
Patricio leaves the office all
bloodied and shaken up. Chava's
spy/janitor sees him leave.
Casa Ripoll
Greta's failing and Fausto's
worried for her. She asks for Iker to
bring her pills. Fausto explains Iker's
not there but he'll go get them for her.
She's looking really bad and he thinks they should call the doctor but,
as always, Greta doesn't want that. The
maid comes in explaining the girls will be there for lunch. She's sure Sofia will make the Big Announcement. Fausto insistis on calling the doctor and she
refuses again.
Empresa Ripoll – Sisterly love, not!
Sofia's sorry to hear Aracely
sees her as a rival and won't give them a chance to get to know each
other. She would really like for Aracely
to come to know who she really is. Oh,
Aracely knows who she is alright; she's a rich kid who's always received
everything she's ever wanted. Her
father's favorite, who gave her every comfort and fulfilled her every
whim. Sofia says Aracely has no idea
what her life was like. She had to be
the best in everything, at school and then at work. She always had to prove herself. Aracely sarcastically asks Sofia to forgive
her for not believing her pathetic story about her hardworking childhood. Sofia insists she was hardworking. She was never given anything for free whereas
Aracely had her father's unconditional love.
Sofia had to fight for her father's respect and affection. Aracely is very bitter, “Save your
breath. Your childhood trauma doesn't
interest me in the least.” “Perfect,”
replies Sofia, “but you have to accept that we share the same father and I have
every right to seek out his love. Like it or not!” Aracely repeats her mantra of how Sofia stole
Chava. Well, she won't allow her to take
her father as well. Sofia promises no
one wants to take Paco from her but
Aracely needs to understand he doesn't belong only to her. Aracely warns her to stay away from
Paco. Sofia tells her that sooner or
later she and Paco will have to make up for lost time and develop a
father/daughter relationship. “No! You
can't have everything you want. Isn't it enough what you’ve made me suffer with
Chava?” Sofia tells her she suffers
because she wants to. Chava's made his
decision. Aracely: “It doesn't matter what you say or do. You
will not get away with this Sophia Ripoll.”
She spits out her name as though it's left a bad taste in her
mouth. She gathers her things but before
she leaves, “You will not rob me of my father's
love.” She storms out of the office and
bumps into Dani but keeps on walking.
Dani calls out that she's rude but Aracely keeps on walking.
Don Manuel's Garage
Chava's snitch calls to tell him
about Pato's appearance at Renzi's office.
He also reports that Renzi continues his regular office hours.
Later, Armando shows up and tells
him that Irma showed up early to pick up Nandito. Armie's upset because he wanted to have a man
to man talk with his son. To tell him he
shouldn't be so harsh with Alexa and to ask him to stay at the apartment for at
least a few days to give it a chance.
But now Irma won't give him the chance and she will surely poison him
against Armando. He doesn't want to go
get him now and drag him out again.
Chava offers to talk to Irma to
get Armie some time with Nandito. He
knows how rough she can be but he loves his godson so much, he's willing to
give it a try.
Casa de Irma
Mom and son sit down to eat. Nandito worries dad will be sad when he
learns he left school early. Irma says
it shouldn't be a problem. If Armie
wants to see him so badly, he can come here.
Poor Nandito, he says when he's at his dad's depa, he feels strange
because he misses her. But when he's
with her, he misses his dad. And he also
misses Pigleto.
Empressa Ripol
Dani peaks into Sofia, who's
still brooding over her argument with Aracely.
She asks if Sofia's heard from Silvana, who's nowhere to be found. Sofia hasn't and wouldn't be surprised if
Silvana decided to take a day off without notice. They haven't been especially close
lately. Noemi reports that Silvana
didn't show up or call.
Casa de Irma
Chava comes to visit. Irma greets him coldly and Nandito is happy
to see him. He offers to take him out
for ice cream but Irma nixes that.
Nandito asks purty please and she agrees. As Nandito runs off to change, Irma warns
Chava he'd better not be there to take Nandito to Armie. His place is here, living with her. Chava reminds her both she and Armie have a
right to see Nandito. So, it would be
best if she'd stop making such a fuss and let Armando see Nandito.
Casa de Ripoll
Iker finally returns. He apologizes and makes up a story about
helping an “amigo” move. Fausto is a
little put out upon hearing about an “amigo” and tells Iker to be sure and tell
his “amigo” he's welcome to stay here if need be. This way Fausto can meet said “amigo”. Iker will be sure to tell him. He assures Fausto there is nothing else to
this friendship with the amigo. His
heart belongs to someone else although it may be impossible. Fausto thinks this impossible relationship
Iker speaks of could be with Fausto himself?
Hmmmmm.
Tae Kwon Do Kid
As they walk to his class,
Nandito tells Chava that Irma said Armie just wants to be with Alexa instead of
them. Chava explains how someone can
come into your life when you're feeling sad and they make you happy. Nandito compares this to his little
Pigleto. Exactly. Well, this is how it happened with Dad and
Alexa! Wait, is he comparing Alexa to
the pig? Well!
While they're having ice cream,
Chava tries to explain that Armie was already having problems with Irma when he
met Alexa. Sometimes people fall out of
love, etc. etc. etc. In the end he asks
Nandito, who is now crying, to remember how much Armando loves him and to give
it another chance by living with him at the apartment. Poor kid.
These adults are tearing him apart, bit by bit.
Casa Ripoll
The girls gather for lunch. While they're waiting for Greta, Alexa gets a
call from Armie who tells her about Irma picking up Nandito at school. Armie finally tells her that Nandito wants to
go back to his mother. Alexa feels badly
and feels this is her fault. Armie
assures her it has nothing to do with her.
Casa de Paco
Paco has lunch all laid out when
Aracely arrives and announces she's met with Sofia. Tan tan TAN
Casa de Ripoll
Greta finally arrives at the
table. Sofia asks, “Do you wanna tell
them or shall I?” Greta tearfully begins
to explain that Sofia became aware of all her lies in order to keep an
Unbreakable Vow. “She's called you all
here because Sofia.......wants no more secrets in this house. I want to tell you.....that Sofia's
biological father....is Paco Fernandez!” Stunned look from Alexa, a snarl from Dani,
and a tear from Sofia. Dani is the first
to speak, “Seriously, you're Paco's daughter?
The guy from the store?” “Well
then?” asks Alexa, “what about Cipriano Fuentes?” Greta and Sofia both explain this was a story
made up by Pato in order to bring Sofia back to the company. The place her father had always wanted for
her. The father who accepted her as his
own, all the while knowing he wasn't really her father. Alexa is surprised to learn Octavio knew
Sofia wasn't his. When Alexa pushes her
to explain why she never told Sofia the truth, Greta explains about the
Unbreakable Vow, how she made this vow before God, blah, blah, blah. Even Fausto put in his two centavos about her
sacrifice. Alexa is shocked to learn he
knew about this secret as well. “Well
this house is just full of secrets. What
other secrets do you have, Mom?” Greta
doesn't expect them to understand but it was never her intention to cause so
much harm, especially to Sofia. She's
very sorry and asks for forgiveness of all her daughters.
Paco's Dilemma
Paco assumes Aracely met with
Sofia to bond. Not so, Daddy
Dearest. What then? Aracely explains she went to tell that
intruder what she needed to hear, “She'd better not even think to take your
love from me after she's taken Chava's.”
Paco can't believe what he's hearing.
How could she take it this way? He's always loved Aracely. How can she possibly think Sofia could take
it away? Aracely seems dumbfounded, “I
don't want Sofia Ripoll in this house, or to receive her as though we are one
big happy family and making a big fuss over her as though she were the Prodigal
Daughter.” Paco tells her this is about
her sister. Oh, Paco. Aracely becomes unhinged, and slams a dish on
the table, “Don't repeat that! I will
always see her as a rival.” Paco comes
around the table to try and calm her down.
Aracely looks like she needs some of Greta's pills. He tells her like it or not, Sofia is her
sister. Aracely calls Sofia a curse (maldición) and Paco pleads with her not
to say that. “I don't want her here,
Dad, I don't want her in this house!”
Paco is really sorry, but he's determined to make up for lost time with
his other daughter. She, like Aracely,
deserves his love. Aracely turns and
warns him, “That woman…enters this house….and this family......I leave.” Ay Caray.
