Caray, Caray!

• Josefa the angry Jefa knows she is in trouble this time cuz she just bashed Isela's head on the terrazzo floor, and Ise is lying there totally unconscious and bleeding.  She raced out to get help from the barrio version of Dumb and Dumber, screaming for a taxi.  (I guess ambulances are a luxury.)   Of course,  Max and Leo, who've just come for Esperanza and Clara in hopes they'd stay a while at mom and pop's palace while the Honoria Horror Show of Hate dies down, helps out the Heffer.  Ho-sey lies (natch) about how Ise ended up unconscious and bloody on her floor.  "--duh-h, she just suddenly passed out and dropped and hit her head."
• 
  
• Claudio, who found Alma in pain in the bathroom and nearly passed out from that, takes her to the hospital.  She's quickly now becoming a pain herself, getting up and out of bed, schlepping her hanging bags and tubes all around, and thus sneaking up behind Clod in every whispered conversation, getting in the old hubby's face everywhere he turns.  She, in this way, manages to overhear the phone call that Leo makes explaining they've found Ise bashed and bloody and wanting to know which hospital is best to bring her to.  Clod naturally suggests the one he's at now, and then explains Mom's there taking up a bed also.
• Honoria cries her eyes out in Julian's old bedroom.  Fermin  has a quick cry also.  Then The Old Farts of AA, aka, friends of Fermin and Jenny, come by to commiserate with him.  They gossip about Jenny's having fallen off the wagon, and that she's done it many times.  Ferm thinks maybe he should go and try to help her back on it like she did many times with him.
• 
  
• More community commiserating goes on at Doris'  and (now) Orlando's  apartment.  Speaking of Jenny, she refused Doris' attempt to give her the valuable fake engagement ring Julian pretended to offer Maria Dolores.  (Atta girl, Jenny.  At least there's some shred of dignity left in you deep--very deep--down.  Tacky--very tacky-- of whomever it was (Fermin?) to think to have Doris offer that ring to her!)

• Ise's brought to the same hospital as Alma.  When Ise finally regains consciousness, Clod races down to question her about what happened.  Ise angrily refuses to give him any explanation.  Clod senses that it was Brut Ho de Josefa the Heffer more than likely, knocking her around.  He threatens Hosey and tells her his suspicions.  If he finds out she beat up on Ise he's going to make sure they put her in jail and throw away the key.  Hosey spits more of her accusatory venom.  Ho-hum.

• The Abuela at the jail tells MD that she and her daughter were both raped and that neither of them had the opportunity to get an abortion afterward. She asks MD why keep the kid now, since he'll probably remind her daily for the rest of her life of the guy who raped her, maybe with his gestures or his looks.  MD justifies her choice again by stating the obvious: it isn't the kid's fault.  Ok, but Abuela cannot stand how her grandson is the spittin' image of the rapist who attacked her. (I think...  It was after midnight when I watched this one. --Anyway, Granny has a point when it comes to birthing another snivelling, sly, scheming, and oh-so-slovenly Slim Shady de Santibañez.)
• 
  
• Max and Espy pay a visit to MD in jail.  She is embarrassed about the BO but she has had to be in those clothes a long time without bathing or soap,,,, Oh, that's ok.  Doris packed MarDi a beauty bag for her, and Max has now brought a wad of cash so MD can buy her necessities.  (Viewerville's got to admit that Mexican jails, as crappy as they are and despite the e-vile guards and wardens, have the right idea: they are supposed to be penal institutions, not fairytale foster homes with bars on the doors; they should be designed to make people think again before committing crimes or stooooooopidly leaving a loaded gun you don't even know how to shoot lying around the house and playing The Fair-warning Footsie with your rapist ex rather than firing at least a warning --if not a wounding--shot at him.  She is just too dumb for me to even care that she's got to sleep with the cockroaches in the bathroom every night.  I'm just sayin'.,,,.)
• 
  
• Clod, meanwhile, is advised as Ise's male guardian (?) that she's preggers and that the fall and resultant bout of unconsciousness, nearly cost her the baby.  (Viewerville personally thinks Clod stopped listening after the word "pregnant.")  He turns around to find Alma has heard all of this as well.  She says sweetly, "It must be Orlando's, right?  I mean he did rape her, right?"  Then, before Clod can think of a decent lie he can answer her with, Alma hauls off and slaps him upside the head.  Whack!!!!  (Ok.  This was the only moment I truly felt it worth the time spent watching this episodio.)  She then races back (we assume) to whatever bed in the hospital she snuck out of before Clod knows what hit him--literally.
