Chapter 46: Points of No Return

Mostly just the facts, with only the most important conversations.

Santiago called his children to tell them that Carolina had a bad night but will be in the hospital for a night. She had lost one of a pair of twins and wanted to see the doctor about the remaining one. Santiago agreed to look for the doctor and then asked her what she meant when she was talking in her sleep. She told him she had gone to work rather than to see Elisa. Shew had lied because she knew he wouldn't approve. There was no argument about this; he went to look for the doctor as Carolina breathed a sigh of relief in his wake.

Damián and Raquel arrived. Santiago told them he was looking for the doctor and would get them some coffee afterward. Raquel said she would accompany him but Damián said he would wait in the lobby. When Santiago and Raquel left Damián did not wait. He found Carolina's room and went in.
What are you doing here? Are you crazy?” she asked him.
Be calm. We just got here and saw Santiago outside. Carolina, I've waited –”
Don't come near me,” she said.
Why?”
Don't you get it? This happened because it's our punishment.”
Don't say that.”
You know that.”
No. You're mistaken.”
I have to remain calm, Damián. To take care of my other baby.”
There is another baby? It's mine, too.”
I'm asking you to please leave. If you really love me, you will leave. Please.”
Damián reluctantly left the room, looking once over his shoulder as he was out the door. Carolina looked away from him, then turned over on her side so that her back was to the door and no one passing by could see her pain.
Raquel and Santiago returned with coffee and Damián said he needed to go home to talk to Mia as he had promised her. Raquel kissed him and let him go. She told Santiago she needed to stay to talk to Carolina for a few minutes.

Santiago and Raquel sat down to coffee and to talk about their children. Lola returned at that moment with Benjamin. Raquel got up and kissed them both, then left. Santiago told Lola that he intended to continue his relationship with Raquel, whether she liked it or not. She looked displeased.

Fernando and SWAT team members were en route to the Becker house where Rafael was forcing Cinthia to search for money and other valuables. She was frightened and did not comply easily. He began shouting at her and holding her at gunpoint. She had a few things in a cloth bag and he grabbed her by the hair and pushed her ahead of him. He then handed her a cell phone and ordered her to call her sister. She flinched and he placed the muzzle of the pistol at her head and shouted at her to “Call your sister!”
Outside Jovita was on her way home from grocery shopping when she saw the police car pull up. She was sufficiently shocked to stop as Fernando came out of the car and asked whether there was another entrance. She told him there was a back door and he quickly explained that Cinthia was possibly in danger. He had her unlock the gate and remain outside away from the doorway as he went inside with two armed men.
Cinthia was becoming hysterical and Rafael was getting impatient. He grabbed her by the back of the neck and pushed her forward toward a double door.

Mia had just finished telling Miriam her twisted version of recent events.
Therefore I was right. Raquel was with Santiago.”
Yes, Grandmother. They were together. I saw them.”
Ay, I'm sorry, but your mother has no morals.”
No. And you have no idea how I feel when I see them together, Grandmother. It breaks my heart. And the worst of it is I can't do anything about it because I can't talk to my brother and –”
With me, with me. You can tell me everything, my love, please. I knew it. I knew they were together from the beginning. But fortunately your father has us to defend him.”
Grandmother, I don't know what to do.”
The first thing we will you is you will come to live with me. I don't want you to spend one second more with your mother.”
She cupped Mia's head in her hands as the girl faced her. She looked both confused and frightened.

Cinthia was extremely frightened as Fernando spotted her and Rafael, who turned her around to use her as a shield. Shots rang out from several directions with Rafael returning fire. Finally he turned around to face Fernando while aiming the gun toward Cinthia. He had his left arm over her left shoulder and across her body as he tried to move backward. He shot to his right and that was his last bullet. The other SWAT team members closed in on him and grabbed him from behind. Cinthia went to Jovita, who was standing by the police car. She started sobbing. Fernando cuffed Rafael behind his back and shoved him into the police car as Rafael shouted at him. Raquel arrived before the police left and Cinthia ran into her arms. Fernando tried to tell her that all was well.

At the police station Alina tried to se Bebo, telling Antonio that the boy had the right to see his lawyer. Antonio agreed, but said that it was not possible at the moment. Bebo had gotten into a fight and was badly hurt.

Inside the Becker house Fernando pointed to the bag of jewelry on the coffee table, saying that Rafael had that when he was apprehended. Raquel said that the contents was hers. Cinthia asked what would happen to her, claiming guilt. Fernando explained that it would depend on whether Raquel was going to press charges against her. Either way the jewelry would be entered as evidence and would be returned to Raquel shortly. Raquel exchanged a meaningful look with Jovita and told Fernando that she would not be pressing charges against her sister. He replied that Rafael would do some time and that Cinthia had the opportunity to start over for a new life without problems. He most likely didn't see the hard look Raquel gave her.

While all this was going on Lola vented at Santiago about how could he possibly have a relationship with the wife of the man his wife had cheated on him with.

Damián came home to find Mia in one of her usual bad moods. He told her he wanted them to see the psychologist.
So Mother told you everything,” she said, sarcastically.
Only what happened in the consultation. She suggested I talk alone with you. Didn't you tell me to spend more time with you?”
You don't want to.” She looked down at the floor.
Of course not, my love. Don't say that. I want us to talk.” She still was not looking up. “Look at me. I want things to be as they were.”
That won't happen.”
Why? Because you think you don't matter to me? Because you think my family doesn't matter? You're mistaken. Now more than ever it does.” He took her hand. “The only thing I want is to see you happy, my love.”
Then, let's go on a trip together. Just the four of us.”

Raquel told Carolina not to feel guilty about losing the baby. She had lost one herself after her twins and felt very bad about it but it wasn't her fault. She told her to focus on the one she would have. Carolina started crying.
I'm not a good person, I'm not a good mother,” she cried.
How can you say that? You have two marvelous children; they're treasures! They are a reflection of their mother. They are beautiful. You are a great mother, Caro.”
Carolina continued to cry, saying that her life will never be the same as before. She will be taking care of the new baby and won't be working. She apologised again, saying that when she got out of the hospital she would have to leave all that. The two women embraced.

Raquel was at the police station explaining to Antonio that she was not pressing charges against her sister. Antonio told Alina that this wouldn't get Bebo off the hook for attempting to sell stolen property. Alina pointed out that if there is no charge, the property is not stolen. She asked Raquel if there was any chance she would change her mind and Raquel said she would not. Especially since she didn't want to see an innocent person prosecuted over things he himself didn't steal. Alina then pointed out that there was therefore no crime committed and she insisted that they free her client. Antonio conceded that he would have this further investigated. Alina then insisted that there also be an investigation into the lapse in security that allowed the fight to take place.

Fernando filled Santiago in on what had happened at the Becker house and assured him that nothing fatal happened and that Rafael would do several years for this. Raquel came out of Antonio's office, they embraced, and she started venting about Cinthia, still not believing that she could do such things. He asked about Bebo and whether he would go free and Alina appeared to tell him that he would. She explained she would have to oversee the process and that Bebo would be released. Raquel watched her manner carefully, noting when Santiago took her hand and how Alina kissed him before departing. She said nothing about this but her reaction did not go unnoticed by him.

This was in the nightly news report, which also included mention of a related incientn of police corruption. Laura did not relay any details of that.

At the hospital Santiago explained to his children that their mother had lied to him about being with Aunt Elisa and why. The doctor came out and said that Carolina was better although sad about the loss. He thought it best that she go home and resume her normal life. As he left Raquel returned and told him that Carolina will be coming home to her old routine.

Later Damián told Raquel that he had talked to Mia about the psychologist and that she had calmed down. She was pleasantly surprised.
Raquel, I want to do everything to recover our family,” he said.
You know I love when you talk like this because I feel like I'm talking to the Damián I fell in love with. My man, the most handsome... I love this.”
Like that,” he said. He embraced her, but stared at the ceiling.
Raquel talked about Carolina giving up the business. He did not look pleased, but said nothing about it. Raquel told him she felt better because she was feeling guilty about possibly having pushed Carolina into the business and causing the problem. Damián told her that she had nothing to feel bad about. Raquel felt better because they would then have time to recover what they thought they had lost. He agreed. It was good that she did not see his face, for its expression was one of resignation rather than relief.

Carolina came home from the hospital to decorations and flowers from her children while the Beckers left for Acapulco where they played on the beach. On the surface, both families looked perfect. Damián tried calling Carolina but she did not take his calls. A few months later Carolina took off her robe in front of Santiago and he took her picture nude, in profile, obviously pregnant.
The Beckers returned from Acapulco and Damián said he would be checking up on the office while Santiago showed Carolina some plans he had drawn up for a construction project of low-cost housing for working-class people. “If this works out it will change our lives,” he told her. He left to go to work and her cell began ringing. It was Damián and she did not answer.

Lola was out swimming at the beach when Patricia approached her to talk about Juan, blaming her for his current mental state. Lola stated several times she didn't want to talk to her, which Patricia took as a snub. She accused Lola of thinking herself better than everyone else, pointing out that she (herself) hadn't been as lucky when parents were being handed out. This didn't end amicably.
Carolina was cleaning the kitchen and removed a heavy earthenware pitcher from the top shelf. She moved a chair into place so she could climb up and dust the shelf. She was wearing wedged shoes rather than flats and slipped off and fell to the floor. She was in immediate pain, but managed to get her cell phone off the table. She tried to make a call, but Damián called at that moment. He had not expected her to answer. She told him she had fallen and was afraid of losing her baby. He immediately left the office.
Santiago and Nicolás talked about work and about Bebo's progress. Santiago said he was doing well and that Nacho was proud. As they got to the car he suggested that they call Carolina and Santiago discovered he didn't have his cell phone. Nicolás tried calling it in case they could hear it, but they could not. As they got into the car Santiago told him to call the house.
Carolina was being wheeled into the emergency room of a different hospital from before. A doctor asked Damián if he wanted to be present for the birth and he said Yes.

Raquel came home from working at the foundation and told Jovita that things were going well and she was closer than ever to Damián. She was still operating the catering business in Carolina's absence. She realized that the baby was about due.
The baby was only moments away from birth. Damián was in scrubs, coaching Carolina to push.
Raquel called the Alvarado house, where Santiago and Nicolás both realized that if Carolina wasn't there she had to be at the hospital.
Carolina pushed hard and sweated. Finally the doctor said “Congratulations. It's a beautiful boy.”
He put the baby on Carolina's chest and asked Damián if he would like to cut the cord. Damián said “Yes.”



¡Feliz Navidad, amigos!

UA: Feliz NAVIDAD! I see that the Latina Mrs. Robinson is going to try & knock up Santiago next.

She must be very horny!
 

While I'm at it, Laura is getting on my nerves. I hope someone whacks her soon!
 

The person most likely to whack Laura is Juan and he should not be running around loose as he is. The second most likely is Rafael, who could do it through connexions in the slammer.

I can't wait to see Damian squirm while explaining how he came to be in the delivery room with Carolina.

We haven't seen Alina with a man her own age so it will be interesting to see if she really goes after Santiago or if Raquel is just paranoid because of Damiantha's infidelity. Alina is sufficiently perverse that it's not out of the question for her to want to boink both a young fellow and his handsome father.

Miriam can't be trusted if Mia moves in with her.
 

Thanks, Urban.

Surprise! Uni had this posted OnDemand this a.m. which proves they can do it when they choose to.

Carolina’s story about having “deceived” Santiago being about going to work was so lame I cannot believe he really believed it.

With each episode Damián continues to prove what a piece of work he is. His lack of concern for Carolina is unbelievable. Showing up in the delivery room, really? Cutting the umbilical cord? How was he planning on explaining his presence if found out being just a “friend of the family”? Next episode should be interesting.

Godoy needs to learn how to drive he almost hit Jovita.

Good for Santiago and Raquel going ahead with their relationship no matter what the kids think.

Steve, yes Laura needs to go, too. Mia should go “missing in action” and take Cintia and Miriam along with her. I thought Rafael was going to do us a favor and get rid of Cintia at least. So many unsympathetic and obnoxious characters.

I had such high hopes for this one. Now I just want to find out who knocked off Carolina and Damián.




 

Urban: Thank you for the on point and to the point recap on a holiday night.
========================

Dam's "present for the birth" - true shocker of the evening!!!!!!

"Mia had just finished telling Miriam her twisted version of recent events." LOL and Mimi's interpretation is just as twisted. The two should bee "exited" together!

"an investigation into the lapse in security that allowed the fight to take place" (something I simply couldn't make out- so thanks!)

"wearing wedged shoes rather than flats" yep-a total ditz. Not sure that Santi's contribution to the gene pool is much better.

Dam's being present for the birth - true shocker of the evening!!!!!! Definitely front row don't miss t.v. as well as the whopper of an excuse he'll give and Raq and Santi's gullible responses.....
 

Jarifa: Damian died ? I thought he was still in a coma ?
 

Thanks Urban! Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!

How convenient that Carolina lies with another lie. I was surprised that Raquel said she lost a baby after the twins. Carolina claims she wants to change but still keeps the affair going.

When the doctor sees Santiago with Carolina, that’ll sure be interesting. I wonder how she’ll get out of that one.

Who would’ve thought that Mia’s idea for the vacation would actually work. Although Damian still tried to sneak in a call to Carolina, Raquel was obviously satisfied that they consummated a reconciliation of sorts.

I’m pretty sure that picture that Santiago took of Carolina pregnant is the same one that Raquel found. The fact that Carolina gave it to Damian is frustrating.

I too am glad that Santiago told Lola that he and Raquel are going to continue their relationship. I find it funny and cute that Raquel is jealous of Alina.

I think we all know what the DNA results will say.

 

Thanks, Urban.

“The first thing we will do is you will come to live with me. I don't want you to spend one second more with your mother.”

I get angry with Mia, then I realize how young she is and that her mental issues have never been addressed well (though Raquel is not to blame - as a mother, not a psychiatrist, she's done the best anyone could).

Hmmm, so Damian has fathered two sets of twins?

This last hospital must respect patients' privacy, unlike any TN hospital I've seen, if no attending staff say a word when Santi arrives and assumes the daddy position as Damian retreats!
 

Meant to add: If Mia lives with Miriam, will the abuela see that the girl has mental issues? I can see Mia only getting worse if she lives with Miriam.
 

Steve, Damián is not dead yet but for me he is as good as gone.
 

In the grand scheme of things the DNA test results will be a small matter, especially if the results are faked. Miriam could want Benjamin to be Damian's for two reasons:

-- to have someone else to manipulate
-- to hurt Santiago

Santiago is the only father that child has ever had no matter what the DNA results say. Either way he is also the sibling of Nico and Lola.

So how old is that child? If he's 2 shouldn't he be talking?
 

A while back I posted a link to a video about coma survivors. Both had brain deterioration, so if Damian is in a coma for more than a couple of weeks -- especially in view of Miriam's murder attempt -- he can't possibly make a full recovery. Since the writers have kept him in that coma this long it feels to me that they are trying to make up their minds about what to do with this.

BTW, the actress who plays Mia is actually 25 years old.
 

Urban good recap. Didn't like Damian in this tho. He stole santi's place.
No, santi wasn't there, but that was down right dirty what he did.Dont care
If that was his baby.I may have again forgotten, is benji his baby? Still he
Shouldn't have been in there, cuttin cords, wearin blue scubs,Coachin other peoples wives in the birthin room just weren't right. Well what's done is done.

Satan's spawn and Satan's mother are
Agreeing on stuff, evil stuff. That's
Never good. And now the little demon &
Miriam are gonna live together. They
Need to be eliminated.I just dont like
Those two people together. They're bad
Enough alone plottin,now they're in it together plottin.

Urban,"BTW,the actress who plays Mia is actually 25years old, Well Good For her,her character sucks. On The Show, she's probably a very nice girl.
I really don't like her character, no
Body knows how she got like yet? Its like she Hates her mom because her dad cheated, and Damian had to be forced to do it, so it Has to be mom's fault, cuz daddy is perfect. We now know all her DNA came From evil grannykins.

Wake up damian,wake the hell up, 2018 is Coming. Or since all this has been happening maybe it's 2020 or 1,in that
World (tn).

THANK you Urban.
 

Urban, you conveyed every emotion, every action perfectly. Your narrations are always flawless and this was no exception.

Admittedly, Damian and Caro should not have gotten together, stayed together and hurt everyone in their orbit. I also have no idea how he will explain his presence in the delivery room either. But the one thing I felt, I truly believed after watching that scene was that Damian loves Caro, and she loves him. I can't explain it, can't condone it. But I totally believe it. The expression on his face tugged at my heartstrings. I believe he is a consummate liar but think at least in this instance, there was real, raw emotion.

While Caro has made devastating, hurtful mistakes, I believe she was devastated by the loss of the twin. She has paid dearly for all of her sins.

"Lola vented at Santiago about how could he possibly have a relationship with the wife of the man his wife had cheated on him with". Lola, the most insightful of the offspring was spot on. Despite the friendship and/or love Santi and Raq are feeling, nothing can erase or compensate from the origin of others relationships.

Urban, you brought up an interesting point about Alina. I had thought Nico was just a means to his father but perhaps an "adult" relationship is beyond her.

"I’m pretty sure that picture that Santiago took of Carolina pregnant is the same one that Raquel found". I thought the same TF!

This last hospital must respect patients' privacy, unlike any TN hospital I've seen, if no attending staff say a word when Santi arrives and assumes the daddy position as Damian retreats!" had me grinning Niecie.

I hope Mia does not go to live with her grandmother. The girl's issues now are seemingly irreparable, they would be even worse under her evil influence.

I wonder what trouble Bebo got into in prison.

Thank you Urban.

Diana
 

In all our collective years of viewing we have dealt with a tremendous lack of medical realism in these programs. The lack of respect for patient privacy is particularly painful although sometimes in the real world this works against the patient. We don't know whether Damian will wake up from this coma but I can tell you that in the real world he would be unlikely to be mentally intact even without Miriam's murder attempt.

As for Alina, I am having serious issues now about how her perverse preference for guys who are barely legal contrasts with her professional competence. This does not send a good message.
 

You're right urban, "This does not send a good message"about professional
Behavior. Look at what she does behind closed doors at the office. The woman
Obviously is twisted somewhere.And the
Other guy's son,is he even still alive alive?
There are truely some weird people in
This show. Is This gonna still be on the the first two months 2018?
 

Thanks Urban for a great recap once again.

I speak no Spanish so I cannot begin to appreciate the ambiguity of "te engane" - the phrase Carolina mumbled to Santiago in her drugged state. But she managed to explain it to Santiago to mean something like "I tricked you", or "I lied to you" adding the qualifier "about where I was" - not with my sister in law but at the catering shop. (Quite different from her guilt ridden utterance initially to Santiago - I cheated on you. She was blaming herself for having sex with Damian when the miscarriage happened.)

Both Carolina and Damian became smooth liars with the start of their affair. (Well, it's possible that Damian has never been quite truthful to Raquel at any point given his sex drive.) And both Raquel and Santiago have accepted their lies because of the emotional/physical attachment Raquel and Santiago have for their respective spouses. (The children do not seem quite so gullible.)

Not looking forward to scenes of Mia and Miriam - a real witches brew.
 

Benjamin is also a constant reminder of the affair between Carolina & Damian (should the DNA tests say Damian is the father).

So if the logic is that Santiago & Raquel should not be together because their relationship is a constant reminder that Damian & Carolina cheated, then Benjamin should be given up for adoption right away because he also is a reminder that Damian & Carolina cheated.

That's not going to happen and Santiago & Raquel should determine the course of their relationship ... without their now adult children's input. The only child's feelings that should determine the course of Santi/Raq's relationship is Benjamin.
 

ITA Anon207.Benji is the innocent one
In this whole mess of worms brought to
Life by these screwed up adults, poor
Kid. Rather santi & Raquel have a life
Together should land squarely on their
Shoulders,not their half baked kids.
