Caer en Tentacion #5, 10/20/17: Raquel's Wounds appear to be Self-inflicted
Hello Patio, It is a pleasure to begin recapping this TN. This first week has been quite intense, with many twists and turns. I am looking forward to the many mysteries, surprises and revelations coming our way. So let's sit back and enjoy.
Present time
At Santiago’s house he is packing a bag, when Lola comes into the room she asks what he is doing. He tells to get Benji’s things ready because they are going to Valle del Bravo (town where Vicente lives – Carolina’s brother). Lola asks Santi, why, maybe her aunt lied. No the one that lied is Vicente; he knows where Carol is. Santi is yelling at Lola when he says this, and then Nico walks in to let them know that Raquel is there and wants to talk to Santi. Santi goes to see Raquel. Nico asks “what is going on?” Lola tells him “nothing just gets your things ready because we are going to see Uncle Vicente”
Santi goes to talk to Raquel who has just met Lisa; Raquel wants to know if Santi has any updates. Santi can’t talk about anything right know because they are getting ready to go to Valle del Bravo to follow some leads. Raquel says “what leads” some leads that Lisa has given us. He mentions that Carolina had been seen in that town with another man. Raquel has a slight reaction of shock but then tells Santi that he should let the police investigate that lead. Santi says that the police won’t do it so it is his job to do it. Raquel insists that he should not go, but Santi is determined to go.
At a road, the truck that Santi is driving to Valle del Bravo has stopped working so he is fixing it; in the meantime his kids are in the car asleep with the exception of Benji who is being tended to by Lisa. She walks over to Santi and asks him to not mention that she was with them to Vicente. Santi won’t but just needs Lisa to help him find the house that Carolina bought. Santi can’t believe that he was such an idiot and did not realize all of Carolina’s lies. Inside the truck Nico overhears this conversation.
Back at the scene of the accident Laura limping along discovers a red shoe, yells at Fernando to come over. She reaches down and grabs it with a handkerchief. She is sure it’s Carol’s Fernando is not sure. (But we all can tell that it is one of the Red shoes Damian bought her 3 years earlier.
At Raquel’s house she comes downstairs to find Miriam waiting for her. She has come to ask her to sign an authorization that will allow her to take Damian out of that hospital to another better hospital, closer to Miriam’s house of course. “Oh so you need me now” says Raquel. “Well, only because the doctor insists that his wife be the one to authorize, and since Carolina has not surfaced yet, you are the only one left.” (ahhhhh, she makes me scream). Raquel very patiently says that if she wasn’t in the situation she is in she would reply to that comment the way that Miriam deserves it, but she won’t. Raquel says “well MY HUSBAND is going nowhere he is fine where he is” Mia walks in and Monster Miriam tries to insinuate that Raquel does not want her father to get better care. Raquel tells her to not get Mia into this mess; well Miriam will do whatever it takes because Mia needs to know how Damian means nothing to Raquel.
At the offices Andres tells Damian they need to talk about what’s going on. Damian doesn’t have to tell him anything. Well Andres wants to know “what is going on with that woman”, “what woman?” Andres says “Carolina, you want to have her be part of our business?” Damian clarifies that the banquet business was Raquel’s idea, so he tells Andres to keep his nose out of this business. “I know those people, Carolina does not like you, and she is only after your money”
At school Joaquin continues to try to get Mia’s attention, he cuts her off and tells her that he wants to get to know her. She tells him why, and what for. He tells her because she is driving him crazy, he kisses her, and she backs away but then goes in to kiss him.
Present time
Damian takes Carolina home and tells her that it’s a good idea to go to Acapulco he would be honored to go with them; they (Raquel and Damian) like Carol and Santi.
In a car Joaquin and Mia are making out, she takes off her blouse, and then she tells him that’s enough. Joaquin says that’s fine but he wants to take a picture with her. He takes several selfies including one of them kissing. (This will not end up well, those pix will end up on social media, and they will probably haunt Mia)
Lola is in her room with her “friend” discussing the situation with Andres this “friend” tells her it’s not a matter of whether she wants to do it or not, Lola will do it because she will do it and she has no choice. She is convincing Lola to have sex with Andres, because Lola has no choice.
At Santiago and Carol’s house, Santiago is not sure about the trip, there are money issues and he is not sure it’s wise to go, besides do the kids really want to go? Carol does not like that Santi is not supporting the trip, so she tells him that since he does not want to go, “here are your cookies, your milk and have everything in your perfect little box” Santi notices the sarcasm in her voice and he explodes, and asks her “what is her problem with him?”
Present time
“Tell me the truth was she here with another man?” “I never saw it but in town they said she was here with a very elegant, rich man that was here to get her a house” “Show me the house” “I don’t know where it is. But go into town and you will find out in 5 minutes."
At Raquel’s house she is taking a bath, she has broken a picture frame of her and Damian. She lies down in the tub and she looks very upset she lets herself go under water and does not come out; she begins to lose control of the situation and appears to want to drown herself.
Three
years ago
Carolina
runs to Lola takes shoes away and chides her for touching her things. Lola had
just gone to get a sweater when she saw the shoes. Carolina immediately makes
up a story that she bought them from a friend and is making payments on the “imitation”
shoes. Lola says those are not imitation. Santi gets upset and says that they
can’t afford to be buying things like that, and leaves. Carol tells Lola to
please not say anything more. Lola says that those shoes are very expensive.
Carol pleads with her to let things be and not to say anything more to her
father because he starts telling her not to spend money, etc. etc.
Raquel
goes to Andres’s office and asks why he had to tell Damian about the
checks. Well Andres defends himself and
says that he had no choice because Damian was asking about the missing money,
and even hired an auditor because he thought Andres was stealing money. “You
put me in a bad situation” he tells Raquel. Raquel apologizes. Andres then asks
her to sit down and since she put him in a bad situation she should at least
tell him what the money was for. She tells him it is for the foundation and for
a small side business she is starting to help fund the foundation. He then
pulls out an envelope full of money and offers it to Raquel for her foundation.
She tells him she can’t take that because he is trying to buy her (go with your
gut girl) he says he is just trying to help the foundation. Raquel hesitates
but eventually takes the money because the foundation can use the help. She
leaves the office but stops and has a moment of hesitation again and then
leaves.
Present time
At Fernando Godoy’s house he is on the laptop, Laura asks him “what are
you looking for?” he answers that he is trying to verify some facts, she walks
over to him and from behind, hugs him and gives him a kiss. He tenses up and looks her way. She
tells him that she is grateful for the message because they were able to double
their ratings because of it. She asks what he is looking for, he tells her that
the day of the accident there had been a lot of rain, that they had not taken
that fact into consideration, including that the river level rose about 1
meter. This would mean that if Carol was dead the river could have dragged her.
Laura asks if he has already discussed this with Antonio. Fernando has already
done so, and they will be sending a team back out tomorrow. Laura can’t believe
that they will wait until tomorrow, there is a possibility that an injured
woman is out there. If the police do not go out today, she will get her news
team on it and they will go out to the site. Fernando does not want her to do
that because if they find something people will say he did not do his job well.
He will go out there today, Laura wants to tag along. Fernando does not think
that’s a good idea. Well she will go or else she will send her people. Fernando
has to allow her to go but not without first telling her that she is
blackmailing him into letting her go.
At Santiago’s house he is packing a bag, when Lola comes into the room she asks what he is doing. He tells to get Benji’s things ready because they are going to Valle del Bravo (town where Vicente lives – Carolina’s brother). Lola asks Santi, why, maybe her aunt lied. No the one that lied is Vicente; he knows where Carol is. Santi is yelling at Lola when he says this, and then Nico walks in to let them know that Raquel is there and wants to talk to Santi. Santi goes to see Raquel. Nico asks “what is going on?” Lola tells him “nothing just gets your things ready because we are going to see Uncle Vicente”
Santi goes to talk to Raquel who has just met Lisa; Raquel wants to know if Santi has any updates. Santi can’t talk about anything right know because they are getting ready to go to Valle del Bravo to follow some leads. Raquel says “what leads” some leads that Lisa has given us. He mentions that Carolina had been seen in that town with another man. Raquel has a slight reaction of shock but then tells Santi that he should let the police investigate that lead. Santi says that the police won’t do it so it is his job to do it. Raquel insists that he should not go, but Santi is determined to go.
At the scene of the accident Godoy and Laura are searching, Fernando
seems to want to stop looking, because it appears that there isn’t anything.
Laura wants to continue the search. She is dressed in rain boots, rain coat and
is limping as if she injured her foot. She continues limping along because she
is sure they will find something, Fernando disagrees.
At a road, the truck that Santi is driving to Valle del Bravo has stopped working so he is fixing it; in the meantime his kids are in the car asleep with the exception of Benji who is being tended to by Lisa. She walks over to Santi and asks him to not mention that she was with them to Vicente. Santi won’t but just needs Lisa to help him find the house that Carolina bought. Santi can’t believe that he was such an idiot and did not realize all of Carolina’s lies. Inside the truck Nico overhears this conversation.
Back at the scene of the accident Laura limping along discovers a red shoe, yells at Fernando to come over. She reaches down and grabs it with a handkerchief. She is sure it’s Carol’s Fernando is not sure. (But we all can tell that it is one of the Red shoes Damian bought her 3 years earlier.
Santi and the kids arrive at Vicente’s home; Vicente sees them arrive
and is ready with a rifle, just in case. Vicente asks them why are they there.
Santi tells him to calm down he just wants to know everything about Carolina. “Tell
me what you know of her, where is she?” Vicente responds that she is in hell to
look for her there because she is dead. Nico reacts to this and says “my mother
can’t be dead” Vicente clarifies that to him Carolina is dead; she died as his
sister the day she took Lisa’s side against Vicente. Vicente then tells Santi
that he should not be accusing him; instead Vicente wants to know what Santi
did to Carolina to push her into running away with another man. Santi reacts violently
to this comment and says he did nothing to Carol. Nico gets between both men
and calmly asks Vicente to tell them everything he knows because they want to
find their mother. Vicente sees their angst and says he will talk.
At Raquel’s house she comes downstairs to find Miriam waiting for her. She has come to ask her to sign an authorization that will allow her to take Damian out of that hospital to another better hospital, closer to Miriam’s house of course. “Oh so you need me now” says Raquel. “Well, only because the doctor insists that his wife be the one to authorize, and since Carolina has not surfaced yet, you are the only one left.” (ahhhhh, she makes me scream). Raquel very patiently says that if she wasn’t in the situation she is in she would reply to that comment the way that Miriam deserves it, but she won’t. Raquel says “well MY HUSBAND is going nowhere he is fine where he is” Mia walks in and Monster Miriam tries to insinuate that Raquel does not want her father to get better care. Raquel tells her to not get Mia into this mess; well Miriam will do whatever it takes because Mia needs to know how Damian means nothing to Raquel.
Three
years ago
Santi
and Raquel are at her house going over color samples for the remodel; they are
being spied on by Mia, when Santi notices her she leaves. Raquel finally picks a color and leaves.
Santi goes to tell the workers that Raquel selected her colors, he also tells
them to try to make less noise. Mia walks in on them and yells “when are you
going to stop with all of the noise?” Santi tells her they will be done soon. Then
Mia goes a little looney and says “my mother is so busy with you guys, I can’t
even eat, when are you getting out of my house? I saw you were too close to my
mother.” Santi and the guys are left speechless at the absurdity of Mia’s
complaints. Jovita shows up and tells Mia that she can go eat in the dining room.
Well Mia is not hungry anymore, she is actually disgusted. She begins to leave
when she trips, Nacho, the older worker tries to help her and she yells at him not
to touch her.
Raquel
and Carolina are at the pasta shop discussing their business venture. Raquel is
excited saying that this is the time for them to take risks, and Carolina is
apprehensive. Raquel says that the only thing they need is to have some
confidence. Carolina says she will try. Raquel then changes the conversation,
she wants an honest answer from Carolina about Damian, and about Santi, and
about herself.
At the offices Andres tells Damian they need to talk about what’s going on. Damian doesn’t have to tell him anything. Well Andres wants to know “what is going on with that woman”, “what woman?” Andres says “Carolina, you want to have her be part of our business?” Damian clarifies that the banquet business was Raquel’s idea, so he tells Andres to keep his nose out of this business. “I know those people, Carolina does not like you, and she is only after your money”
Nico and
Fede are at school, Nico asks Fede about Mia. Fede tells Nico to take some
advice and forget about Mia. “Well that’s the problem, I don’t think I can
forget Mia” says Nico.
Back
at the shop Carolina and Raquel continue with conversation, she says that she
senses Santi is not all in with the business that they are going to have, but
she wants Carol to know she will convince him, as long as Carol is clear that
she wants the business partnership with Raquel. Carolina says she is sure and
she is grateful for the opportunity. Damian walks in on them, and then Raquel
gets a call from the center, she will need to leave but can Carol and Damian
finish the meeting on their own. She leaves without first kissing her man. When
she leaves Damian and Carol begin their flirtatious ways.
At school Joaquin continues to try to get Mia’s attention, he cuts her off and tells her that he wants to get to know her. She tells him why, and what for. He tells her because she is driving him crazy, he kisses her, and she backs away but then goes in to kiss him.
In a
car Damian is with Carol. He pulls over and tells her that he can’t drive
because she distracts him. She asks what is this?” he says “this is inevitable”
he leans in to kiss her but carol gets a call and it is Raquel. Carol tells Damian
that “this is insane”
Present time
Vicente will talk but he needs the kids to go inside so he can talk to
Santi alone. Nico, Lola and Benji go inside and Vicente begins to tell Santi,
that he does not care what happened to Carolina; he used to care but not
anymore. Especially after she took his parents’ home away from him. “That is
the snake that she is, you don’t even know her one bit”. Santi does not pay
attention to Vicente and tells him to please tell him where Carolina is. Inside
Nico and Lola find a sweater that belongs to their mother. So they are assuming
that she had to have been there.
At Raquel’s house she is going over Damian’s accounts, she seems upset
when Cynthia walks in and asks her what’s wrong. Raquel shows her a set of keys given to her at the hospital, which belong to a house that Damian bought for Carolina. Cynthia says how do you
know? She knows because Lisa told Santi, and Santi is now investigating in
Valle del Bravo. She tells Cynthia that every day she finds a new detail that makes
her hate Damian even more, and she breaks down and cries.
Three
years ago
Carolina
and Damian continue in the car, she does not answer Raquel’s call. And she
tells Damian that she is leaving. “Does your wife know what you want with me?”
to which Damian says “does your husband know what you want with me?” she then
calls Raquel, and apologizes for not picking up the call. Raquel tells her that
she is now with Santi and that they seem to be “swingers” referring to the fact
that Carol is with Damian and she is with Santi. At this Santi begins to walk
away. Raquel then says that she is having a bright Idea why don’t they all go to
Acapulco. Carol says “Acapulco?” Raquel says that Mia is having some adolescence
issues and that going away would help her. She wants Carols help, Carol doesn’t
understand what kind of help, well “let’s all go away, sun, beach sand”
Carolina is going to check with her husband, “No need Santi already said yes”.
Damian takes Carolina home and tells her that it’s a good idea to go to Acapulco he would be honored to go with them; they (Raquel and Damian) like Carol and Santi.
In a car Joaquin and Mia are making out, she takes off her blouse, and then she tells him that’s enough. Joaquin says that’s fine but he wants to take a picture with her. He takes several selfies including one of them kissing. (This will not end up well, those pix will end up on social media, and they will probably haunt Mia)
Lola is in her room with her “friend” discussing the situation with Andres this “friend” tells her it’s not a matter of whether she wants to do it or not, Lola will do it because she will do it and she has no choice. She is convincing Lola to have sex with Andres, because Lola has no choice.
Raquel
talks to Damian about the reasons for the trip to Acapulco, and Damian thinks
the trip is a great idea. He will not be opposed to that opportunity.
At Santiago and Carol’s house, Santiago is not sure about the trip, there are money issues and he is not sure it’s wise to go, besides do the kids really want to go? Carol does not like that Santi is not supporting the trip, so she tells him that since he does not want to go, “here are your cookies, your milk and have everything in your perfect little box” Santi notices the sarcasm in her voice and he explodes, and asks her “what is her problem with him?”
Present time
Vicente tells Santi that he does not have much to tell him about Carol.
All he knows is that she came by a couple of times to accompany Lisa so that
he would not do anything to her. But with time he found out that Carol was not there
for Lisa or for him. She was there for herself, to get half of the house that belongs
to their parents.
“Tell me the truth was she here with another man?” “I never saw it but in town they said she was here with a very elegant, rich man that was here to get her a house” “Show me the house” “I don’t know where it is. But go into town and you will find out in 5 minutes."
At the offices of the pasta shop, Miriam is at a laptop, and Mia
arrives. She asks her grandma why she is there; well someone needs to take care
of the business while dad is in a coma. Miriam tells Mia to start coming to
the office so she does not have to depend on her mother anymore. She tells Mia
that Raquel was who brought Carol into the family. And if Carol ended up going
to bed with Damian it’s only Carol’s fault. (Man that women is pure venom).
Andres overhears them and walks in, Mia goes out of the office, and then Andres
tells Miriam to watch what she says to Mia because she is Raquel’s daughter after
all.
At Raquel’s house she is taking a bath, she has broken a picture frame of her and Damian. She lies down in the tub and she looks very upset she lets herself go under water and does not come out; she begins to lose control of the situation and appears to want to drown herself.

Sandie--Still have the recap to read, so thanking you in advance for what will undoubtedly be a great read.
Anon207: Your question from yesterday, "I thought Raq told Andres she wanted to buy a gift for Damian but didn’t want him to be signing his own check?"
Yes--that is what she told Andres, but as far as we know, Dam didn't get any gift(s) for which he ever thanked her profusely--or at least that we saw, to confirm her statement. When he questioned her, she dodged the question, for sure.
Now we know she claimed it was for the Foundation--although they both know any money going to the foundation came out of Legato accounts and Dam always signed those. So....obviously it was enough money to raise the scrutiny of Dam and his questioning Andres about it. Dam didn't know what the money was for. Meanwhile...we on the patio have been led to believe Dam himself bought a nidito de amor for him and Caro. How or where did he get that kind of money without raising a suspicion with "the accountant," i.e. Andres. Or...maybe he did know and was keeping that information for future use.
Excuse the ramble. Now to the recap--can't wait.

Thank you Sandie, I love these comprehensive recaps as I am usually asleep before the episodes end.
Is anyone sane in this TN? I haven't found anyone to like yet. Mia seems like a real brat, Miriam is obviously a witch, Santi is insane, Laura is really unlikable. And who is Lisa?
Does Benjamin have a table on the patio?

Sandie, this was extraordinary.
This is moving so quickly yet you captured every action, thought and nuance.
These families put the "d" in dysfunctional. An overused term overall, it does not seem strong enough to denote this sad, sordid state of affairs.
"I saw you were too close to my mother” bothered me immensely. Is there any validity to Mia's assertion". "Santi and the guys are left speechless at the absurdity of Mia’s complaints". A beyond troubled child.
“That is the snake that she is, you don’t even know her one bit”. I think all of the pictures of the main characters are not yet fully painted yet the images taking shape are dark and disturbing.
"Lola’s quandary “She is convincing Lola to half sex with Andres, because Lola has no choice" another brutal situation.
Laura is relentless but if there is someone who can get to the bottom of this, then I am relieved she is here.
LoriLoo, I am not finding anyone here likeable because everyone is suspect.
Lola and Mia are breaking my heart. Why did none of the parents realize what is going on? I don't think Mia turned bitter and self destructive overnight.
Having an affair is being self centered and selfish. Being oblivious or unheeding to the hurt being imposed on a partner is bad enough. But I've not seen anything to indicate Damian or Caro have given a moment's thought as to how their children are going to be affected. While never contemplating the tragic situation that now exists, they have effectively destroyed their families. And each other.
Honestly, I really don't know what to think at this point. Is Caro dead? Will Damian come out of the coma? Will have to wait and see.
All I know is that this recap was incredible Sandie. Thank you.

Thank you Jarifa, Anita, Loriloo and Diana for your comments. And sorry for the super late post.
Loriloo Lisa is Vicente's ex-wife. Vicente is upset at Carolina because in their troubled marriage it appears that Carolina took Lisa's side. She is the aunt that came with them to Valle Bravo and asked Santi not to tell Vicente she was with them

Wonderful recap! And a big Thank You to all of the recappers! I'm always an episode or two behind.
With the intensity of the relationship bet Caro and Dam so early, I have a hard time believing it took 3 years for them to decide to go off together, and just a weekend trip at that. And for neither spouse to know what was going on.
The flashbacks with the kids aren't working. At 3 years later, they would look a little different and presumably be in college.
That detective should be fired for feeding his journalist wife info that could destroy the investigation or a future case against someone.
I'm confused. Why would Caro take half the house away from Vicente if Dam bought her one? If he bought her her parents house than wouldnt have Vicente and Lisa gotten their split?

Sandie:
Thanks for filling in more than a few blanks for me. There is still no On Demand of it yet, so I much appreciate the detail.
Miriam is a piece of work and I think Mia may be a chip off the old block. Nico's a blockhead for mooning over her.

Thanks Sandie, for the Lisa clarification. Now it makes sense.
A couple of nights ago creepy Andres was having his way with someone on a couch. Who was that?

Good work, Sandi.
We need more backstory on Carolina's family of origin. I've had a creep vibe from him since he first walked into view and I suspect he has a criminal record, which would be a motive for Lisa having divorced him.
Mia is a total brat. We still don't know why she was bullied in school in the first place which made it necessary for her to change schools just prior to when the curtain went up on this tale. Are schools in Mexico just as bad as the ones here in dealing with this issue? Her behavior regarding Raquel and Santiago was completely irrational.
Totally agree that there should be at least one small change on each of the "kids" over the three years.
Is there any possibility that Andres actually knows something real about Carolina? Could she be an accomplice of his for the purpose of stealing Damian's rightful inheritance? Having gotten to that, could Miriam know about this and this whole thing was designed by her to get rid of Raquel?
The selfies Joaquin took will definitely be used against Mia and probably by him.
More later.

Thank you so much, Sandie! Great work!
Vicente seems like an interesting character. I have the feeling he'd want something in return for helping Santi.
I agree that Godoy and his wife seem to want to take all the credit for cracking the case of Caro's whereabouts. Not a smart idea for Godoy to help his wife with her story.
I thought Dam's comment to Caro about distracting him while he was driving was interesting. I'm surprised he didn't say something like "we could get in an accident if you keep distracting me." Could that have been a factor in the actual crash?
I wonder if someone will find Raquel in the tub before she actually succeeds in drowning herself.

Loriloo: Andres was having his way with Cynthia (Raquel's sister). There is some history there which I'm sure we will learn.
Carvivlie: I agree the whole house plot line is confusing. That's another story we need more clarification for. So far this TN has more questions then answers. For the first week of a TN we got a lot of content, much of it murky.

Great recap Sandie, thank you very much! You really have to play close attention to this tn or you can miss some vital things. Right now I feel like all is not what it seems or is at least not all black or white. We know Caro/Dam had an affair, but the rest of the he said/she said coming in from other players I'm taking with caution right now, it appears the writers have lots more up their sleeve. What about this house? I really wonder when Benji's paternity comes into question? I feel for the kids, what a horrible thing to be dragged through. Mia sure is a reckless self destructive girl and it's only going to get worse as her father's choices and sordid life are paraded through the media. Lola is hanging by a thread but like Mia, her mother's adulterous behavior is sure to make it that much harder.
I don't know what to think of Vicente just yet, but he's the character I find most interesting so far.
As annoying as Raquel can be at times, I enjoy her friendship with Santiago. She seems to get him even if he doesn't see it.

I am wondering what the reason was that Cintia ended up on drugs. Wonder if Andres or Dam had something to do with that. I also wonder why a fairhaired baby's features wouldn't have been looked at an/or pondered if Santi was as jealous and possessive as he seems to be. Only in Telenovelaland is this never done.
It's not uncommon in the latin heritage for a baby to be born very fair or blond. Several in my family were blond as children and have very dark hair now as adults. He probably wouldn't have had reason to question it as it never occurred to him that his wife was straying out of the marital bed. Pretty sure as things unfold that baby's paternity is going to cross his mind. I'm thinking Maury is going to show up to say...Santiago...you are NOT the father. That's when all hell is going to break loose between those two families. Especially if Miriam has anything to say about it. She fits the typical TN mother in law from hell. Her world, her son, her terms.
Thanks, Sandie. Great title and recap.
I was feeling guilty for finding Raquel a bit annoying, because after all she's done nothing to deserve this. But now I see I'm not the only one who finds her a bit over the top.
But at the end of the day, Damian did nothing to let her know he wasn't happy in their marriage. So shame on him. I'm thinking he's cheated before because he moved in on Carolina without hesitation. Plus, his primo Andres wasn't surprised to see Damian making moves on another woman.
That car "accident" was definitely a set up. But by whom? Andres?

You are welcome everyone, and again thanks for stopping by the patio.
Niecie: Agreed Raquel is a bit over the top, pushy, and does not measure her actions, this obviously is what brought Damian And Carol together, but she did not deserve getting backstab by her "friend" and her husband. Neither did Santi, although he had faults of his own.
Carvivlie: Completely agree Fernando Godoy is absolutely crossing the line passing information to his wife. He should get fired. He may be one of the only good cops though. We have seen that there are a couple of rotten cops in that PD already.
Again this TN has left us wondering so many things. Mostly questions, no answers yet.

And the questions will keep this story going! It will probably be a while before any answers are forthcoming.
I wonder whether Raquel's personality is Miriam's main objection. She is pushy in a way that could be regarded as declassee although Raquel clearly is well-meaning. She's not Anna from MCET but she is a long way from Regina in LC.
I am also inclined to suspect Andres regarding the car accident. He wants what Damian has and worked for, including Raquel. He may not care that Miriam wouldn't like his endgame because he might consider offing her as well.
I don't yet have an opinion on whether Damian has cheated before, but I'm sure Andres has tried to encourage him to.
