Un Camino Hacia el Destino-Week 14 (May 23, 2016) Second Half
EPISODE
#66 (Thu May 26)
A representative of Child Welfare Services, a uniformed officer and a notebook lady have shown up in the middle of Clarita and Cesar’s reception. The rep addresses Marissa and wants to speak to Carlos. She says he’s not at home, but she can speak for him. She leads them in the house. The rep states Carlos has been keeping an unaccompanied minor in the home. Marissa is cooperative. Yes, Carlos brought home a homeless youngster, but is planning to adopt him.
The rep says that is the problem. There are no papers on file so they have to take the boy to a childrens shelter. Marissa doesn’t think that should be necessary. He’s well taken care of in their home, but they will have the family lawyer file the right papers in the morning. Rep lady says that doesn’t conform to the law. They have to take him now.

Carlos
and Fer are still standing together away from the crowd at the reception. He tells her she hasn’t said whether they are
novios again or not. She laughs and tells him for good or bad, yes. Carlos
questions the “bad” part. Fer says it’s just a saying, like for good or bad,
she loves him, for good or bad she can’t be without him, for good or bad she
accepts being his novia again. They are both glowing, radiant in the heat of love.
Carlos leans over for a kiss. [Ahem—I thought I saw a little tongue action there!] He’s
the happiest man in the world.
The
world’s unhappiest boy doesn’t want to be separated from his new family.
Marissa assures Paco they will get it all straightened out very soon. As they
take him, she wonders what they’ll tell Carlos. Luis emerges from his lair,
triumphant. Yes, he had everything to do with the authorities picking up the
snot-nosed kid. He announces to Marissa, smiling, this was war unto
death and he glories in those tears of hers. Only Carlos’ tears are missing.
Iggy has been standing by and this time, can’t hold it in. He hauls off and
wallops Luis so hard he falls backward onto the couch.
Paco
is putting up quite a fight to keep from being taken away, yelling for Carlos
while he struggles against an officer. He’s finally stuffed into a patrol car
and driven away, as Paco continues to scream for Carlos.
Carlos
is otherwise occupied with the love of his life. Fer is telling him she hopes
she’s not making a mistake, but she loves him so much, she can’t live without
him. He says their love is so great, it can’t be a mistake. More kisses. He
asks about the dream she had with him. It turned into a nightmare because
Isabela showed up. Carlos reminds her she wasn’t to mention Isy again. He’s so
happy he wants to celebrate tomorrow in a romantic place where they can dance
and he can sing out how much he loves her. He loves her with all his heart. As
he says this and kisses her deeply, Jay appears behind them. He can tell by
that kiss they have had a reconciliation and he’s lost her.
Back
at the house, Luis is enjoying trying to put Iggy down, but Mr. Cool just turns
his back on Luis to address Marissa regarding what he will do in the morning
for Paco. Then he turns back to Luis and says, one of these days, they’ll meet
again, without Luis having any one to defend him and just as Pedro Perez beat
the sh** out of him one time, nothing will stop Iggy either. Louis leaves.
Marissa is in tears.
Hermy
is still waiting for Mariana to give Amelia the answer to—is Mariana still in
love with Luis? Herm answers for her—everyone already knows the answer. Mariana
looks at Amelia, is she happy now? Amelia says no, only when she’s reunited
with her family will she be happy. Mariana asks, what family? She’s alone in
the world, except for her nana. Her own father doesn’t even remember her. Poor
Amelia, she ends. Amelia hauls off and hits Mariana as Don Fer comes in. He
yells who does she think she is. He wants her out of his house. Mariana grins
from behind him, just lovin’ the show.
Paco
is taken into the institutional shelter, not willingly, but somewhat cowed by
all the adults surrounding him. He doesn’t like what he sees. He’s left alone
in the patio with the director, Mme. Imperious standing way above him. She
quizzes him about his status. He claims he has a father. She disputes that. He’s
to stay there and she’ll care for him well as long as he follows the rules,
until the adoption papers are approved. She tells him adoption takes a very
long time. The only other way he can get out is when he turns 18. Paco tries to
do the math in his head.
Clarita
and Cesar have their noche de boda, complete with the requisite 101 candles.
They are both a bit shy and nervous, but they make it through the night and are
happy about it all in the morning. Then they are reminded he will be leaving.
Clarita finds out Cesar never told his mother about the job "on the other side."
She’s sure Lupe will blame her for his going.
Carlos
and Fer are snuggling and talking beneath the light of the stars and the moon.
They’re both happy to be back together. They agree not to have secrets between
them and she agrees not to doubt him again. It’s getting late. Fer has to work
the next day. Carlos doesn’t want to leave. She sends him home. They part among
kisses and promises to see each other the next day.
Fer
delights in her violin.
Marissa
is getting extremely concerned that Carlos has not answered her repeated calls
to his cell. Iggy promises to get on Paco’s case first thing in the morning.
When Carlos finally gets home, he finds the house still in an uproar. He
explains he left his cell in the car (and we know why). Carlos becomes very
anxious over Paco’s fate. He needs to see him right away. Paco is probably
scared and alone and wonders why Carlos wasn’t there. Iggy tries to tell him
there’s nothing he can do now, but Carlos is pigheaded and goes to the
institution anyway.
The
directora sticks by the rule of law. He can’t see Paco. Besides, the children
are all sleeping by now. Carlos is sure Paco isn’t asleep because they have a
regular routine. She tells Carlos to stuff it, imperiously, but calmly, and
that the newcomers adjust quickly. (As evidence for and against her statement,
we see Paco settled in bed and talking to a new friend about his father Carlos,
then stops talking to let the little guy get to sleep and he covers himself up
as well.) Carlos has no luck with the directora. She has not been moved by his earnest baby
blue eyes.
Mariana
is having another of her one-sided conversations with Herm. She wants to know
if Don Fer is going to follow through, throwing Amelia out of the house. Herm
says, on the contrary, he convinced Don Fer Amelia was his daughter even if he
couldn’t remember her. Mariana wants to know what he was thinking. The idea was
to have her leave. Herm says, no, that was *her* idea. They end up threatening
each other with what evilness they are capable of.
Carlos
shows up at Ordoñez office bright and early. Iggy is going to work on the
adoption application, but he warns Carlos to be patient. It’s always complicated
and even more so with street children. It would be easier if he were
married. Carlos says his relationship with Fernanda is back on track, but he
intends to go forward with the single-parent adoption.
Marissa
is sitting in the living room either reminiscing wistfully or torturing herself
remembering her own wedding to Luis. Luis comes in and orders her to fix his
breakfast. She’s over him in a flash. She gets up and leaves him as he is shouting at
her that apart from her millions, she’s not worth a thing to a man—she can’t
even cook. To himself, he swears to make her pay.
Jay
shows up at Fer’s half-built, half-burnt shack at breakfast time. He accepts
coffee. He finds her much perkier today and asks her why. She’s not saying
(but, of course, he already knows). He tells her Pedro is getting released
today and is offering to let him stay with him. It might be a better ambience
for him and he’ll have his "head doctor" right in the house. He can still come
and work to finish the shack. Fer will let Pedro decide where he wants to stay.
Fer
is so overjoyed at the news, she must call the hacienda. Blanca answers. Fer
asks for time off to get her father settled after he’s released. Blanca says
she’ll explain to Don Fer. The others at the breakfast table have overheard.
Amelia seizes the opportunity to go see Pedro right away.
Fer
and Jay are about to leave for the hospital when Crazy Frizzy saunters up. She
sees Jay and says to him it looks like he just fell out of bed. She adds she
didn’t know Fer was so well accompanied. She turns back to Fer and says she’s
just there to talk to her, alone. Jay says he’ll wait in the car.
Mariana
is running her mouth again. [Now we know where Fer gets it from—her mother’s
side of the family, although Pedro also has that tendency.] She’s complaining
about Amelia and Fernanda still being allowed to stay. Herm’s is tired of
listening to her and departs abruptly for work.
Amelia
is telling Blanca she’s going to see Pedro. He’s the most wonderful man in the
world. [Huh? After 19 years of treating him with contempt and disdain, he suddenly
becomes this desirable man?] She tells Blanca she needs to discover what her
real feelings are for him and she needs to do it in person. Blanca doesn’t
think it’s worth it. He stopped caring for her and Blanca doesn’t want her to
build up false illusions and thinks she should just avoid more humiliations.
Amelia is sure he still loves her and she just wants to find out if she’s in
love with him and then go on with her life. Blanca thinks she should just go on
with her life whether or not she’s in love with Pedro.
Isy
gets to the point. She knows Fer was at the wedding with Isy’s novio. Fer
jumps ahead of her. What story is she going to invent now to try to separate
them. They both know Carlos is not her novio. Isy tells Fer not to fool
herself. She and Carlos have a long history together—and it wasn’t just a
superficial romance. Fer remembers it as being full of lies and deceit, including
the fake pregnancy. Isy uses a past tense to describe their relationship. Fer
notes it. It’s in the past--p.a.s.t. Isy retorts she has no intention of
standing around with her arms crossed while a mere schoolgirl moves in on the
love of her life. Fer says she’s no longer a schoolgirl and no longer a stupid ingénue
who will believe what Isy says or run away crying. She tells Isy she’s losing
her time with these arguments. Isy says it sounds as though she’s very sure of
Carlos’ love. Well, then, says Fer, why is Isy even here, threatening her if
she’s so sure of Carlos. To make it perfectly clear, she and Carlos are in
love. Carlos loves Fer and she’s not sure what Isy can do to make him stop
loving her, but she’s not going to let Isy take away her happiness. This time
she’ll fight for it.
Pedro
has come to see Adelina to tell her he’s being released. He promises to visit
her as often as he can. She wants to believe him. A nurse walks in on them to
tell Pedro he has a visitor, someone who says she’s his wife, Sra. Amelia. Amelia
is in the waiting room. She looks bored. At least she doesn’t look very
anxious. In Adelina’s room, Pedro has gotten agitated. He tells the nurse he
doesn’t want to see her, she’s lying, she’s not his wife, they are divorced and
not to come looking for him again. She doesn’t exist for him. The nurse leaves.
Pedro starts pacing. He’s losing control. Adelina begs him to get himself
together or he risks being interned again. Is that what he wants? Of course
not. The
nurse comes out to tell Amelia that Pedro doesn’t want to see her again, ever.
Carlos
has checked Don Fer’s vital signs. He’s looking good. Don Fer says he feels
good, too, except for his memory. Carlos tells him he and Fernanda have
reconciled. He’s confused by the name.
Pedro
waits in his room for Fer and Jay. He spends the time reliving all the moderately
good times with Amelia and the times when he was rejected and humiliated by
her. Pedro greets a super-animated Fer. She wants him to decide where he’d like
to stay once he leaves the clinic. She seems over-the-top content. Fer brushes
it off as being happy Pedro is getting out. He knows there is something else.
He guesses Amelia and Fer have made up. No, Fer says, she has as little to do
with her as possible. It’s about Carlos. She’s happy because they’ve had a
reconciliation. Pedro lunges, grabs Fer and shakes her, right in front of Jay.
How could she go against his wishes? He’s yelling at her, clearly having lost
control again. He ends up just looking at her.

Nina--I loved your comments from last night, especially, "Isy comin to church dressed like hoochy moma jesabel. Was she even invited? Does she even know the happy couple? Or care to? No!!! Shes just there to annoy people. As her snoby lil sister let her know she losed carlos. She need to just Let it go."
Kendra's too. Oh, my yes, he's soooo fine!
Kendra's too. Oh, my yes, he's soooo fine!
Yeah!!! I get a chance to comment early enough today. Anita, I really needed this because evidently my DVR stopped recording at the moment that the nurse came to tell Pedro that Amelia was there to see him.
Anita - [Ahem—I thought I saw a little tongue action there!] I did too! I was like, "well, alrighty then"
Like seriously Jay? How do you loose someone that you never had? Stop stalking Fer, ugh!
Poor Paco. He was so happy. It's amazing that they didn't care that he lived on the streets and people knew him as a homeless thief (you'd think that would bring the shelter folks to come get him) but he's living in a mansion and this is a problem. Don't get me wrong, I knew this didn't make since and was the wrong way to take on a child; however, you have to make a formal attempted murder complaint against someone who threatened you at gunpoint (in front of witness - including police), but a homeless child we have to make we follow the rules? So there are looser rules for assault with a dangerous/deadly weapon? Whatever! I know its a TN.
Fer, I loved the way she didn't back down with that ball of fur! If she had ended with 2 snaps and a neck and eye roll - it would have been the perfect ending to that 'READ HER A**' moment!
Although I missed the end, I knew Amelia visiting Pedro in the hospital was going to spell trouble for his sanity. I was going crazy at the thought of her finding him and going to see him, so I can only imagine his state.

Anita: Another stellar summary.
"Carlos leans over for a kiss. [Ahem—I thought I saw a little tongue action there!]", "Luis emerges from his lair, triumphant", "half-built, half-burnt shack" and "Paco tries to do the math in his head" were among many favorites.
"Carlos has no luck with the directora. She has not been moved by his earnest baby blue eyes". Only the coldest of hearts could resist that charm, charisma and sparkling eyes. The actress (Maria Prado I believe) was a great choice. Stony and without a scintilla of kindness radiated from her stern countenance.
I agree Kendra, it was hard to watch Paco being taken from the home he loves, that he quickly and completely assimilated into and being put in that fortress of a prison. Err, orphanage.
"She’s sure Lupe will blame her for his going". Yes, I’m sure she will too Clarita, especially when he gets caught for illegal entry (pure speculation but a pretty safe statement I think).
"She gets up and leaves him as he is shouting at her that apart from her millions, she’s not worth a thing to a man—she can’t even cook. To himself, he swears to make her pay". We can only hope that you pay Luis. Marissa, you must find a way to evict him from your house. You can't have him there tormenting you daily.
I was waiting with baited breath for the Amelia/Pedro meeting. Anita, your "He spends the time reliving all the moderately good times with Amelia and the times when he was rejected and humiliated by her" was perfect! 'nuff said.
"She tells Blanca she needs to discover what her real feelings are for him and she needs to do it in person". There is so much raw pain and bitterness, I don't think any rational, reasonable conversation can be held between the two at this point. Carlos should rant and rave and get his indignation and hurt out. Amelia should ask forgiveness and please that she intends to make amends. Then, she should leave and leave him to ponder this startling change of personality and mindset. I do want them to come to terms and have a civil relationship but it will take time.
Of course, Pedro totally "lost it" with Fernanda. Get a grip man. You can't control and manipulate. That is up to Amelia...
Iggy is great (and very handsome). Let's not let this prize languish.
To everyone who has lost a loved one to their service for our country, God bless. Madeline has been on my mind a great deal - I think of her so often...
Anita, I so look forward to your recaps! This was splendid - thank you so much.

Pedro should rant and rave.
I can't keep the names straight at times. Sorry.

Thanks, Anita. Loved your coverage of this somewhat pivotal episode. Lots happened, didn't it?
Obviously, Pedro still has issues. He didn't respond well at all to what should have been relatively minor things, and he did it once right in front of his shrink!
Boy, I agree with you Kendra that the Child Protective Services there are bonkers to take a kid out of the household of a respected physician and throw him into a dingy institution.
Luis takes this war to the death stuff pretty seriously. Unfortunately, (for him), he is the one who is going to be (killed, incarcerated, discredited) (strike out whichever word you don't like).
Tongue action? Really? I missed that.
Well, coming off of her reconciliation with Carlos, Fer had the self assurance to tell Isy off, thank God. Everyone seems to be turning on Isy, even her sister. She does a great "deer in the headlights" pose.
A roiling mess at don Fer's house. I am loving the tension between Mariana and Hernan.
Off topic: I had a box of cereal with sliced, dried strawberries in it; the grandkids went through it and picked out all the strawberries and ate them.
Thanks again, Anita.

Love it and thank you Anita
"either reminiscing wistfully or torturing herself"
That Amelia is a piece of work. Forget she loathed Pedro worse than a boil but dammit she just gotta see if she has feelings for him and to confirm he adores her still.
Javier was going to release this nut on the unsuspecting population. Somebody take Javier's license. I can't even imagine the flip-out had Pedro seen Amelia.
Adelina doesn't look good
I laughed, Carlos was smooching Fernanda as they took the poor boy away. Carlos doesn't need the boy now since he got his number one fan back.
Gosh don't Fernanda know another song

I like them all in this order - discredited, incarcerated, then killed. He must suffer before meeting his 'timely' end.
Iggy punching Luis (loved it). I have only seen him get punched and beat up by men. I have not once (I REPEAT - NOT ONCE!) seen him hit that man back. Hit a woman? Well yeah, that's what cowards do. Hit the person they CAN beat.

Anita, splendid recap. These people are giving me material to use against them. They say and think such stupid things. Luis orders marissa to fix his breakfast, I'd him to go fix his own breakfast and then I'd tell him where to put it. And poor Poor misguided jay, he losed fer, baby you never had a chance in hell of having her. And amelia, let it go girl that ship has sailed and it sunk!!!
Isy, Iam so done with her. She is just pathetic. The End. Bury it and move on. Mariana and hermy are actually comic relief for this show. She's bad at murdering people. She can't do it to save her life, poor stupid inept woman.
Tonite should be fun too if pedro don't go crazy and start hitting himself in the head again. He really need to get it together. Ok its friday hoo hoo!!!!. I like fridays. Ok later people.

Thank you all, once again for making recapping Camino fun. It's all about your participation.
Note: Don't stay up late looking for a recap tonight and don't get up early to look for it then either. I've decided to take the night off and do the whole thing tomorrow.
Speaking of OT eating habits. Both my grandsons used to pick out every little bit of cooked onion in hamburgers, meatloaf or pizza they could find. Maybe there was something to it. They are both handsome, strapping young men. And don't even ask about their father's early eating habits.

OT- me too! I picked out snd refused to eat onions until i developed a taste for them when i was pregnant with my youngest son. Funny...of course, my grandbaby picks out the marshmallows in lucky charms.
This was an episode with a lot of pivotal and insightful dialog. Forgive me if I don't hit the highlight someone is particularly interested in. It's ready to type up. See you in a couple of hours.
Anita, thank you! I'm interested in just about everyone and everything so all will be fascinating for me, I know.
As much as I love this show, I am lost in most of the dialogue so could not continue without your insightful summaries. Any revelation will do doubt be a huge surprise to me. Even things I am fairly certain I understand are usually not right or missing huge puzzle pieces.
I can't imagine how much time you need to devote to this so thank you...

EPISODE #67 (Fri May 27) Pt. 1
Pedro catches himself in time before he really goes off the deep end, after hearing that Carlos and Fernanda are back together. Realizing he could have harmed Fer, he begs no to be released. He feels he doesn’t deserve it. Jay asks Fer to leave them alone to talk.
Carlos is still with Don Fer, who can’t remember any Fernanda. Carlos explains that besides being his novia, she’s the person who was taking care of him. Don Fer says, oh, that inept girl was his novia? Carlos assures him she’s not inept. He had suffered another crisis. Carlos also assures him Amelia is his daughter, although he failed to recognize her. Don Fer thought it was all a lie. Hernán said so, too, but if Carlos says so, he’ll believe it. Carlos is going to take him to the hospital for a full work-up by Arteaga.
Luis follows Amelia into her office. He needs to talk to her. [About what, I wonder.] Amelia doesn’t want to talk to him and asks him to leave. He just wants to help. She tells him she went to see Pedro, the only man who really cared for her and whom she scorned. Luis wants to know if Amelia is in love with Pedro. She’s not sure, but she is sure she doesn’t want to talk about it with Luis. Luis thinks he has a right to know. Amelia says he doesn’t (then she proceeds to tell him how she feels). She thinks it’s her punishment that she was in love with him the whole time, but spent her time despising him. She wants to see him, the only decent and honest man who ever crossed her path and is now rejecting her.
Fer asks Jay about her father. She thinks he’s worse, more depressed than ever. Jay says to trust him. Pedro will be ok. But right now, Pedro won’t talk about what just happened. Jay doesn’t understand what he has against Carlos. He tells Fer she shouldn’t have told him just then. Fer didn’t want to keep it from him, nor have to hide her happiness from him.
Carlos takes a break from hospital duties, hoping he’ll get to see Paco. He gets waylaid by a self-labeled Miss Sexy Universe Bombshell. She tries to poison the happy place Carlos is in with Fer by suggesting Fer has a relationship with Dr. Farias. Carlos is in a hurry and doesn’t have time for her inventions. She follows him to his car. He tells her she’s behaving childishly. Whatever Isy has to say about Fer does not interest him. Isy says he’s being blind. Ok, Carlos rises to the challenge, how is she so sure Fer is cheating on him with Farias. She and Fer aren’t even friends.
Isy says she herself saw him in Fer’s house, very early in the morning. She avoids answering Carlos as to why *she* was at Fer’s place that early herself. Carlos is trying to get away from Miss Double-Wide Tight Flowered Halter Top. She still won’t give him an answer. Carlos sarcastically asks if maybe she’d been invited for coffee, too. Isy doesn’t appreciate the irony. She can’t look him in the eye while she goes on. She had to go early because she has a job and couldn’t go later. Still, he says, why was she there at all? She went to tell Fer not to play with Carlos’ feelings, not to fool him. Carlos sarcastically thanks her for her concern, he’s grateful, but he can take care of himself without her interference. Besides, he knows full well the only thing she’s wanted is to separate him from Fer. And that is not going to happen, because neither he nor Fer will allow themselves to be manipulated by anybody. He insists she look him in the eye. Nobody, that is, n.o.b.o.d.y. is going to separate him from Fernanda. [Of course, we all know that is a death knell, a superstition as deeply held by us as by brides whose grooms see them in their wedding gown before getting to the church. Oh, I’m so sorry, Clarita.]
Pedro is being released from the hospital after all. He’s telling Fer he has decided to accept Jay’s offer of staying at his house, at least to sleep, because during the day, he’ll be helping rebuild their cabaña. They share a couple of hugs and a couple of laughs. Jay gives Pedro and Fer the keys to his house and tells them to make themselves at home.
Pedro catches himself in time before he really goes off the deep end, after hearing that Carlos and Fernanda are back together. Realizing he could have harmed Fer, he begs no to be released. He feels he doesn’t deserve it. Jay asks Fer to leave them alone to talk.
Carlos is still with Don Fer, who can’t remember any Fernanda. Carlos explains that besides being his novia, she’s the person who was taking care of him. Don Fer says, oh, that inept girl was his novia? Carlos assures him she’s not inept. He had suffered another crisis. Carlos also assures him Amelia is his daughter, although he failed to recognize her. Don Fer thought it was all a lie. Hernán said so, too, but if Carlos says so, he’ll believe it. Carlos is going to take him to the hospital for a full work-up by Arteaga.
Luis follows Amelia into her office. He needs to talk to her. [About what, I wonder.] Amelia doesn’t want to talk to him and asks him to leave. He just wants to help. She tells him she went to see Pedro, the only man who really cared for her and whom she scorned. Luis wants to know if Amelia is in love with Pedro. She’s not sure, but she is sure she doesn’t want to talk about it with Luis. Luis thinks he has a right to know. Amelia says he doesn’t (then she proceeds to tell him how she feels). She thinks it’s her punishment that she was in love with him the whole time, but spent her time despising him.

EPISODE #67 (Fri May 27) Pt. 2
Carlos is finally reunited with Paco. Poor kid, he’s already had his hair cut short. Carlos promises to get him out soon. It can’t be that very day. He tells Paco he has to be strong. Paco says he can’t bear being shut up where there are no windows and he can’t see the stars at night. If Carlos can’t take him home, he’d rather be put back on the streets. Carlos tries to cheer him up. He reassures him he is his father. If these folks want a piece of paper to prove it, he’ll comply. He tells Paco he made him a promise to be his father, otherwise he wouldn’t be there, fighting for him.
The director herself comes to tell Carlos visiting hours are over and he has to leave. The kid needs a bath, change of clothes, check fingernails and hair. Carlos doesn’t want to let go of Paco and Paco gets taken and dragged off by Mme. Imperious.
Jay comes to see Adelina. She looks pretty sick.
Cesar pleads his case to an unconvinced Lupe. She thinks it was crazy for him to get married, when finishing school should have been his priority. He’s sure he can do both and work. H needs his two best ladies to support each other while he’s gone. Lupe remembers all to well, others who have gone up north for jobs and money and are never heard from again. Cesar finally sweet talks his mother into going to the bus station with them.
Marcos stops Carlos on his way back to the hospital. In short, Arteaga finds Don Fer worse and thinks Don Fer is taking some other medication than the one he prescribed. He has had other Alzheimer patients and he is sure of what he prescribed. Carlos is pretty upset by the news. He’ll go talk to them.
Carlos is confronting the family with Marco’s diagnosis that Don Fer is either taking some other medication that is affecting him or is taking something in addition to the prescription. Mariana protests they’ve been following the doctor’s orders. Without naming anyone, Carlos “accuses” someone of subterfuge. He wants to know who has been giving Don Fer additional medication. Mariana has a horrified look on her face (that someone has or will soon find her culpable). He announces he’s not leaving until there is some solution. Everyone looks at one another trying to divine the guilty party.
The only person who isn’t present to defend herself is now blamed by Mariana. It has to have been Amelia’s daughter because she was in charge of taking care of him. She must have been doing something wrong. Amelia reminds her that everyone knew Mariana was in charge of Don Fer’s medicines. Mariana claims someone might have exchanged the pills for something else. Carlos says that’s a much more serious matter, going from simple carelessness, to premeditated harm. Mariana renews her accusation that Amelia’s daughter fits the bill. She and Amelia start an unsisterly squabble. Blanca has to step in to stop them and brings them back to the issue at hand, Don Fernando.
Carlos stands up for Fer, despite Herm’s charge that he’s in love with her and would have supported her for that reason alone. Camila stands up for her friend and restates, that due to Don Fernando’s delicate health, Mariana jealously guarded and disbursed his medication. Mariana claims she didn’t carry them around with her 24/7. Carlos tells them Don Fer’s downward health status didn’t start just a few days ago, inferring it couldn’t have been Fer. [Besides, Fer has been MIA so often even after she started her job, but that didn’t come up.]
Carlos says someone has to pay more attention to Don Fer’s condition or Carlos will personally have him removed from this house. He’s putting them on notice. They can get a second opinion, if they wish, but for now, he and Fernanda will be his principal caretakers. His eyes will be on the household so nothing more harms Don Fer. He leaves.

EPISODE #67 (Fri May 27) Pt. 3
Isy has showed up at Marissa’s since she couldn’t get the reaction she wanted from Carlos. She tries out her teary, hurt, love for Carlos act. Marissa, as if she didn’t have enough problems of her own, is exasperated. It’s the same thing, over and over, she tells Isy. Isy says she’s done everything to get him back, to the humiliating point of agreeing to become friends without any benefits. Marissa says she already told her Carlos won’t go back to her. Isy says yes, she lied, but she did it for love and he won’t forgive her, but that school girl? He forgives her even though she’s going with someone else. [It’s obvious now how far off her rocker Isy is, she’s got the whole story reversed. Fer wouldn’t forgive Carlos for “cheating” on her with Isy herself.] But Marissa’s curiosity is peaked. What does she mean? Isy means Dr. Farias has something going on with her. Marissa doesn’t believe her. Isy says Fer is still cheating on Carlos because she saw them with her own eyes, Jay was in her house early in the morning. They spent the night together.
Carlos and Jay have a not so friendly tête-a-tête. Jay is still steaming from his phone remarks to Adelina’s mother and Carlos is still steaming from his conversation with the Altamirano family. They both boil over when it comes to Pedro (who is standing in for Fer). Carlos finally says what’s on his mind. He wants to know what Jay was doing at Fer’s house that early.
Jay wants to know if it’s jealousy. No, Carlos replies, he’s very confident in Fer’s love. Jay says, then why? Carlos says that now that he and Fer are novios again, out of respect for the relationship, he should not be going to her house. Carlos tells him to get used to it, between Jay and Fer there is nothing. Jay says, oh, but there is. It’s friendship and that is something Carlos cannot destroy. Carlos says the only friendship Fer will have is with himself, Carlos.
Fer has to pass by Amelia before she can go to Don Fer’s room. Amelia says she needs her. She tells Fer she went to see Pedro, but he didn’t want to see her. No wonder he was so upset, says Fer, why did she do it? Fer has told her over and over it would harm him to see her. It’s her fault he’s in that clinic. But no, what he’s going through is not important to her, only whatever is important to Amelia. Her imprudence may result in Pedro’s not being released but if he is, she’s not going to tell Amelia where he’ll be because of the further harm she’ll cause him.
Amelia says that’s why she wants to talk to him. No, says Fer, Amelia must understand that the person who will cause him the most harm is she. Fer doesn’t want him to relapse and Amelia is to blame. She’s already done enough damage to him, so leave him alone. Isn’t it enough for her, living the life she always dreamed about? Money, a huge house, the love of her father? Amelia asks for Fer’s forgiveness, tears streaming down her face. Fer becomes somber. Fer says she already forgave her.
Amelia tells Fer how much she needs her, needs her as a daughter. Fer inquires in reply, how about all the times she needed her as a mother, but she was too angry with life to pay attention. Amelia wants to know if Fer has forgiven her, why is she being treated this way. Fer says it is a reflection of what Amelia taught her to be. When Fer was going through toush times, where was her mother’s love, affection, kisses, hugs. But does she know who did? Her father. That’s why she is with him now. Amelia is sobbing silently as she hears the truth from her young daughter. Amelia is the one who sowed the seeds of unhappiness in Pedro, whether she was aware of the harm she was causing or not. Harm Fer can’t remove. He’s a changed man. He’s a man Amelia created with her disdain and scorn.

EPISODE #67 (Fri May 27) Pt. 4
Herm grabs Camila. He scolds her for defending Fer in front of everyone. Cam insists it wasn’t friendship, it was a matter of justice. Herm thinks she should be concentrating on conquering Carlos. He pokes her forehead (desgraciado). He’s disappointed in her. A father thinks only of his daughter’s happiness and her happiness is with Carlos (replace the word Carlos with MONEY). Cam tells him it’s too late, Carlos and Fer are back together and are novios. He says she’s pitiful and it pains him she’s such an empty-headed loser and he wouldn’t be surprised if the next servant in this house turns out to be Cam. What a deception, he says as he departs. Cam is in tears. She wonders what she will do. She loves her friend, but she also wants her father to be proud of her.
Blanca faces the seated tiger and says they both know very well who’s been giving Don Fer those strange pills. She can’t believe Mariana is willing to kill her own father for money. [Blanca hasn’t been watching enough telenovelas.] Blanca tells her money doesn’t buy happiness. She isn’t going to be happy with her sister’s leftovers. She’s envious of everything of Amelia’s, Luis’ love for her, Luis’ daughter, everything Mariana desired. Money will not solve those feelings of envy. Money will just be another burden in her life. Mariana tells her to shut up. Blanca continues—and that Hernán of hers will not rest until he takes it all away from her. That, says Mariana, is not her affair. Blanca says she ought to feel enraged by what she’s doing to Don Fer, but instead she only feels sorrow and pity.
Fer approaches Don Fer cautiously. He wants to offer an apology for everything he said to her. Carlos told him she was a good person and he trusts Carlos’ judgment. There’s something about Fer that makes him like her. They give each other heartfelt hugs. Blanca, passing by, sees this and is content he’s hugging his granddaughter even though he doesn’t know it is she. Fer cries. She has a lot of problems and is happy that Don Fer isn’t going to fire her. She needs the job, etc. etc. Don Fer wants to help her with her problems. Blanca has come back in the room. Fer thinks that as hard as she tries, she’s failing at everything and she’s not helping her father get better. He got very upset when she told him she and Carlos were back together. Don Fer would like to meet Pedro and talk to him. He thinks he could change his mind. He of all people, knows what it’s like to forgive a daughter (as Mariana looks on coldly).
Marissa and Ordoñez talk business. He’s prepared to go see the head of the company they will be considering for a large financial package.
Oh, my, Carlos and Jay are still at it, after all this time. Jay calls him back. In a normal tone he tells Carlos about Pedro’s crisis when Fer told him they had gotten back together. He just won’t accept Carlos and that’s the reason he wouldn’t let Carlos in to see Pedro while he was in the clinic. It was Pedro himself who requested it and also asked him to keep Fer away from Carlos. Carlos should talk to both Fer and Pedro to find out why Pedro hates him so much. It’s not normal. Carlos thanks him and leaves.

EPISODE #67 (Fri May 27) Pt. 5
Mariana speaks up. She doesn’t like Don Fer getting involved in Fer’s personal affairs. There’s no reason for Don Fer to speak to her father. Don Fer tells Mariana not to interrupt. She explains she needed to talk to him about business matters, even though he doesn’t. Blanca steers Fer out of the room.
Well, well, who should they run into but Ordoñez, on his way to talk to the person Marissa sent him to see. He’s surprised to see Fer there. Fer explains she works there and introduces him to Blanca as the bank attorney who works for Marissa, Carlos’ mother. Blanca shows him to Don Fer’s room. Fer parks herself on the patio by the fountain to wait for Don Fer to finish with his company.
Iggy comes in and Mariana introduces him. Don Fer isn’t sure why he’s there. Mariana apologizes for not informing him earlier, but it’s about a bank loan for a project….but Iggy’s mind was wandered away from business. So, he ponders, Fer works in this house. He wonders if Mariana knows Fer is her niece and it doesn’t seem as if Don Fernando knows this is his granddaughter.

Well, there it is folks. There's a lot to read but we have the rest of the weekend to digest it.
One thought before anyone might see Carlos as acting like a spoiled brat. I remember when my son and his future wife got quite serious about being together and even after they got engaged, a former girlfriend of my son's kept phoning him, writing him and wanting to get together for coffee, etc., without my DIL. She didn't like it. My son was just too nice to tell her to bug off, he was off the eligible list. She doesn't mind the friendships he forms at work or socially, but this was in a class by itself--a former girlfriend still pursuing him.
I sympathize with Carlos on that score. He DOES know Jay is around and still interested in Fer and ready to step in the first time he and Fer have a misunderstanding. Carlos will continue to have his suspicions until Fer tells Jay to bug off, but she's just too nice, so Carlos is taking the initiative.
We'll see how it plays out. Interesting that Jay offered Pedro his house and told Fer to make themselves at home. He wants to stay in the picture and have some daily contact with Fer.
P.S. Isy needs to see a head shrink. Maybe we could get an appointment with Jay for her and he'll turn his attentions away from Fer. Holy Cow, no, that's the wrong obsession to dump on Jay. It's still all about Fer and Carlos!!

We'll see how it plays out. Interesting that Jay offered Pedro his house and told Fer to make themselves at home. He wants to stay in the picture and have some daily contact with Fer.
P.S. Isy needs to see a head shrink. Maybe we could get an appointment with Jay for her and he'll turn his attentions away from Fer. Holy Cow, no, that's the wrong obsession to dump on Jay. It's still all about Fer and Carlos!!
Anita, through your words, you skillfully interwove richly textured detail into this beautiful summary.
"[Of course, we all know that is a death knell, a superstition as deeply held by us as by brides whose grooms see them in their wedding gown before getting to the church. Oh, I’m so sorry, Clarita]" and "unsisterly squabble" were among many favorites.
When I see children crying or acting too true to heart broken character in TNs, I get very upset. I want to think that they conjure up some horror movie memory as I can't bear the thought they are thinking of some real life painful fear or memory. "Paco says he can’t bear being shut up where there are no windows and he can’t see the stars at night. If Carlos can’t take him home, he’d rather be put back on the streets". Oh my. His "jailer" is enough to scare the staunchest soul. Let's hope the adoption process is greatly expedited so Paco can get home (steering clear of Luis of course).
I was also uncomfortable with Fernandas accurate words to her mother that seemed uttered without thought these emotional arrows were hitting their mark. And painfuly. "Amelia is sobbing silently as she hears the truth from her young daughter. Amelia is the one who sowed the seeds of unhappiness in Pedro, whether she was aware of the harm she was causing or not. Harm Fer can’t remove. He’s a changed man. He’s a man Amelia created with her disdain and scorn".
I'm still not sure Amelia knew the depth of destruction she wrought. Fernanda's words surely left no doubt. I believe Amelia needed to hear them and believe she also needs to hear them from Pedro's lips. But the fact Fernanda spoke so stoically was saddening. It as though part of her died as well. "Amelia asks for Fer’s forgiveness, tears streaming down her face. Fer becomes somber. Fer says she already forgave her". She has forgiven but has now buried any trace of the love and affection she had for her mother.
"Jay comes to see Adelina. She looks pretty sick". Yes, she looked terrible Anita. I hope Jay has been trying to treat her with fervor and dedication. Imagine her mother not coming to see her! Another poor excuse for motherhood.
"Lupe remembers all to well, others who have gone up north for jobs and money and are never heard from again". Of course she is right. What a shame he won't heed her advice.
Jay seems to virtually ignore Isy. I love that he didn't react to her confronting he and Fernanda. I wish Carlos could do the same but she is in his face at every unwanted opportunity. He has coldly dismissed her and told her he loves Fer. She will not go away.
I like to think Jay has pure motives for inviting Carlos to live with him but I suspect he does want to see more of Fer."Jay and Fer there is nothing. Jay says, oh, but there is. It’s friendship and that is something Carlos cannot destroy. Carlos says the only friendship Fer will have is with himself, Carlos". Such a silly thing to say but...Carlos has to fight daily to keep his relationship with Fer and Isy and Pedro are making it an uphill battle. Then, adding Paco, Don Fer's deteriorating medical condition, Luis and worry over his mother to the mix. He is dealing with too much.
Additionally, we haven't been privy to exactly how Jay feels about Fer and most importantly, is he willing to do anything untoward in that regard? We don't know if he is a straight up guy or not.I don't blame Carlos for being insecure and jealous. Too many walls ready to come crashing down around him.
I don't know where Amelia and Fernanda go from here. Passionate screaming and yelling denote there are emotions under the fire but cool civility may mean emotions are dead and perhaps unsalvageable.
Amelia, thank you for providing so much to ponder. And to savor.

Thank you Anita and all the dialog. I particularly wanted to read what was said between Amelia and Fernanda.
"where was her mother’s love, affection, kisses, hugs"
I remain unmoved by Amelia's whining.
"Carlos says the only friendship Fer will have is with himself, Carlos"
I keep thinking Javier will go off the track (he may yet) but so far the guy is above board despite admitting he loved Fernanda (who wouldn't) and Carlos's constant acquisitions and taunts. Fernanda doesn't know it but with Carlos she will have a life time of him having jealous hissy fits with any man she is in contact with. Male professor, oops, guy at the gas station, oh my, coworker, get out the baseball bat. It won't even matter if she acknowledges they live or if the man is interested in her or not. He plucked her young from an all girls school and she's his property. Grow up Carlos. I wonder why La Toodle draws her galans like this alongside the virginal, young, naive in love, girls?
I'm really, really becoming distressed over Adelina. Somebody please help that girl she is dying before our eyes.
That xxxker Hernan and his finger to Camila's forehead. Errrrrrr Errrrrrrrr
Why can Fernando always remember Carlos but forget everybody else?
The worst thing in the world for a homeless orphan is not a safe clean place where they are fed. Compared to a mansion, personal cook and gocart racing, perhaps, but way better than a box.
I'm shocked Mariana hasn't killed Blanca.

Thanks, Anita! This was an eventful episode for you to wade through for us.
I still harbor some suspicions about Jay's abilities as a doc. Adelina visibly deteriorating with each episode and nothing being done about it, and turning Pedro loose when he obviously still has major issues are two things that make me wonder.
Issy is losing all grasp of reality, and those around her are beginning to see it. For her, BSC would be an improvement.
Fer's reaction to Amelia's pleas was, for me, believable and normal. Amelia had twenty or so years to show even a shred of motherly love toward Fer, and steadfastly refused to do so. I would think that Fer's indifference is probably the best that she can come up with for her mother. And how that must sting Amelia; you can bask in love, you can mount a defense against belligerency, but how do you cope with indifference?
Iggy just keeps quietly gathering information and pondering how things are lining up. He will be the catalyst for something important, I think.
Luis is still his incompetent, sniveling self. Still trying to be relevant and failing at every turn, except when he can pull an underhanded stunt like getting Paco snatched out of the mansion and put in that dreary child care facility. I loved Amelia's dismissive attitude toward him. He'll probably have to go out and find some woman to beat up to make himself feel better.
I don't understand why don Fer seems to still have so much control over events when his mental state is so clearly not up to the task.
Thanks again, Anita.

Anita, I liked this recap. Theres wisdom in these here words. Especially fernanda. That little girl spoke some wisdom to her moma. And then her moma ask"if you forgive me why are you still treating me this way". And little fer turned it right back on her, "it is a reflection of how you taught me to be, when I was going through tough times where was her mother's love, affection, kisses,hugs? but does she know who did? her father that's why she is with him now". then all she could do is stand there and sob, cuz she was kicking her butt royally with the truth. I'm so loving this. And here was a really good nugget, "Amelia is the one who sewed the seeds of unhappiness in pedro whether she was aware of the harm she was causing are not. [I don't think she really gave a damn about the harm she was causing], Harm fer can't remove. He's a changed man, he's a man you created with your disdain and Scorn". I Would have said "with your hatefulness and meanness". but that is just me.
I am so happy that pedro raised her. I am so proud of the young woman she has turned out to be, no thanks to her mean ass Mama. Who's maybe not as mean as she was, I think she has changed, but I think Amelia still has some progress to make.
Isabella needs therapy. The End!!!
Camilla needs to take a page out of her bff's book, get some guts and stand up to her greedy daddy, now it might get her a slap. But you gotta start some where with these meanass people. I think her and dr. Jay would be good good together, if he could get over his obsession with Fernanda. They are never gonna happen. He need accept that and move on.
I hope that sweet little girl in the hospital don't die. Its just pitiful the damage her parents have caused her. She looks like shes dying from cancer, what she's going through is just as bad, "unloving parents". Her spirit has been broken, no-acount-dirty uncaring parents.
☆★☆★Happy Memorial Day people.☆ And please be safe at the beach!!! ★☆★☆

"And how that must sting Amelia; you can bask in love, you can mount a defense against belligerency, but how do you cope with indifference?" Yes, perfectly stated David.
Nina, I am hoping Adelina lives although I am very worried for and about her. Pedro, her steadfast rock (and caring supporter) seemed to be the only one there for her. Maybe Jav can talk some sense into her mother? I would like to see Adelina garner more support (Marissa? Fer?) and make progress in her therapy.

While I detest Amelia for what she did to Fernanda I don't place the blame for Pedro coming undone on her. That was Pedros's idiotic choice.
Tofie--I go along with you up to maybe 50% of the blame. Pedro's whole world came down at once. He fell off a tree, his house burned down, his wife divorced him, then she left him and took his daughter, his daughter is injured in a car accident, his "estranged" wife nearly dies and is left paralyzed, then she tells him and their daughter to go to hell.
On top of that was his outsized obsession with Fernanda never finding out Luis Montero was her biological father and his extreme methods to prevent it. Luis seemed to be getting closer and Pedro became desperate. A formerly gentle giant turns into a rage-filled aggressor.
Then there is Carlos. He couldn't deal with the emotional storm. Fortunately, he got help when he needed it, even though he fought it.

Thanks, Anita. Another great one!
I don't have a problem with the social workers removing Paco. They need a little time to investigate, to make sure he's not a pedophile or something, or maybe they need to attempt to find Paco's parents. It seems like Paco could live with Carlos and Marissa as a foster child until the adoption paperwork comes through. I noticed that the kids at the orphanage had no toys, and that's sad.
I didn't pick up on the wedding dress being a harbinger of bad things to come, but Cesar referred to La Bestia, or The Beast, which are the cargo trains that migrants from Central America take to come to the U.S. They ride atop the trains, and it's very dangerous. Did Cesar's father go to the U.S. and not return?
I think the doctors in this TN are pretty incompetent. Why don't they simply check the numbers that are imprinted on Don Fer's pills and do an Internet search to find out what they are? (This is a good idea for anybody whose pills suddenly look different. My pharmacy switched acetaminophen for aspirin once.)
And Doctor Jay, it seems he should have given Adelina some counseling on the spot when he saw her crying herself to sleep. Or at least a hug.
Thanks again, Anita.
