Caer en Tentacion #100, 2/27/18: New Suspects, New Aspects, No Prospects

Antonio and Godoy are concerned that they've now confirmed a third car was present that night and went through the gate.  It was registered to Raquel Cohen.  Godoy knows he's got to get to the bottom of this as anybody could have been behind the wheel.

Azucena has paid a visit to Damian and tells him the police want answers since the pistol has his prints on it and it appears that he shot Carolina.  Azu tells him to recover his memory ASAP cuz he's got lots of 'splainin' to do for the police.  Well, Raq may have second thoughts about that....



Dam's worst fears are are realized: Raquel, both families' kids, the police--Hell, the whole effing world--knows about his relationship with Carolina and the fact he had a child with her.  Dam, though, is at a lost about this last little tidbit.  Either way, no matter: he only wants his family back and fast!

Back at Santiago's, he and Raq are finishing a rack roll and he asks her to move in with him there.  She's of a mind to do so.  She must think about it over a PB&J or some such.  While she's enjoying her sandwich, Santi gets a call from Tonio with the bad news about the third car and it belonging to his new squeeze.

Some few weeks before the accident: Santi has Augustin come over to tell him the details of the loud discussion/argument between Dam and Caro.  Augustin balks and hems and haws.  Santi says he's hiring a private investigator.  We later see him hand her picture and a packet of pesos over to the mystery man with the caped coat who entered the construction site later on.  

At los Becker's breakfast table. Dam makes the excuse he's got extra work at Legato to catch up on; Raq tries to get Mia to spend the day with her doing mother-daughter stuff, but Mia refuses.  She doesn't want them "keeping an eye on the crazy girl in the family!!"  She's staying home with Federico.

At los Alvaro, Caro says she's going to the doctor on a Sunday.  Viewerville cannot believe a doctor has office hours in Mexico on a Sunday, and neither does Lola.  However, she lets it slide.  Caro gets a prescription for a vaginal infection.  Then, while at the catering offices, she notes that Raq receives a prescription of her own for the same vaginal infection.  

When Caro gets to her rendezvous with Dam at the office she rejects him outright and yells at him for asking her to stop bedding Santi when he doesn't stop bedding his own wife.  Guess who's got the same vaginal infection as she, lover--his wife!!  So, it is finally QUITS ONCE AND FOR ALL TIME.  Caro only hopes that it's not too late for her and Santi to patch things up!!

Miriam pays a visit to Damian's sick room and chastises him for letting the company go to hell in a hand-basket while he was chasing skirts.  No wonder the place is bankrupt and all because Andres was let loose to cause havoc there.  She warns him to get his head on straight and get the company running right again somehow since it's all that he's got left.  He certainly has no family and friends at this point.  In fact, Raq and Santi have become a hot item during his "absence".  Mimi hisses at him that Raquel's out for vengeance and is sleeping with him to get it; and in fact, Raquel also went after Dam, trying to kill him that night of the accident!  He scowls and tells Mimi to vacate the premises.

As for Raq, when she hears this she's totally flummoxed.  How?  What?  It couldn't have been me...do you think?  I don't remember going out that night.  Well, Jovita claims that she saw her leave the house.  Oh noes!!!--Santi tells her to comb her memory for what really happened because Andres has already alibied her by declaring the two of them were "together" all that night.  Raq denies anything to do with Andres!  Santi says well then do it because Andy could be lying to wriggle out of a jam and jail.

Laura still needs a confidential exclusive from the police.  She is there to guilt him into giving him something again or else, as she finally admits, her career is all she's got left and they are getting ready to fire her from the program.

Mimi accosts Azu at the office and accuses her of covering up for Raquel--or whoever might have driven her car that night: Feddy or....even MIA?????  "--Not a word of this, Azucena!!"

At the construction site, Augustin and Nacho kick around that the guy in the coat from the other day--Saldiva--turns out to be a P.I.  That means then, they realize, that Santi obviously knew ahead of the accident that Caro was cheating on him with Dam!!!  Oh noes!!!  Say it ain't sooooo!!

At the manse, Mia learns from Feddy that Caro is their daddy's lover.  However, he forbids her to say or do anything about this.  No!  He will handle it!  (Did she listen to her brother?  Inquiring minds want to know.)

Caro apologizes to Santi and tries for a reconciliation. On the other side of town, Dam and Raq tell the kids they're taking a vacation for two to Paris--a second honeymoon of sorts.  Feddy is happy with his papi.

One night of passion and 3 weeks before the accident, Caro's vomiting and taking a home pregnancy test again.  

Godoy comes looking for Raq but finds Cinthia instead.  They kiss and he tells her about there being a third car that night and it being Raquel's.  The question is: just who was driving it?????

Lola tells Bevo and Nicolas that she found an envelope of pictures of Dam and their mom stepping out on Daddy.  So, that means that yes, he knew their mom was cheating on him weeks before the accident!!!

Azucena, meanwhile, is kidnapped by Andy's goons.  He calls on one of the guys' cellphones and tells her she's being punished for betraying him to Damian.  She denies it all.

Feddy, meanwhile, has discovered something at the office and Andy comes in on him and surprises him. "--Ok.  So now you know! What are you going to do to fix this, huh?  Speak up!!"

Across town, there's a knock at Santi's door.  It is Damian in a wheelchair demanding to speak to his wife.  Santi tells him to get out.  She's there but doesn't want anything more to do with him.  They love each other.   Raq chose him instead because he doesn't cheat on her, doesn't lie to her, doesn't hurt her... Dam insists he wants to hear it from her.  Raquel enters the room and stares at Damian.  She looks over at Santi who shrugs in frustration.  She looks back at Dam and steels herself...............

Jardinera, the title clearly indicates this will be another exceptional recap.

My head is spinning - I can hardly comprehend everything that happened last night. SO frustrating to understand so little although there were some events impossible not to comprehend. Even for me! I keep asking myself if I really saw what I think I did.

Diana
 

I keep falling asleep on this show but what I didn't fall asleep on was Carolina having some sort of vaginal issues and then Raquel having some sort of vaginal issues and telling Carolina about her vaginal issues and then Carolina looking out of sorts about Raquel's vaginal issues.

Did Carolina have something and Damian passed it to Raquel or did Raquel have something and Damian passed it to Carolina? Either way, if I'm correct, Carolina was out of sorts because that meant Damian was still having sex with Raquel. Is this correct or was I sleepy on this part?
 

Thanks, Jardinera. Superb job. Back at Santiago's, he and Raq are finishing a rack roll - lol!

So anguish on finding out about Caro's cheating after her death was a fake caused he'd hired a private investigator. Yikes!

ITA with everybody that it's satisfying to see Lola standing up for herself. I like that she shared with her brother about the photos she found.

Anon207, you are correct on the vaginal infection of the two women. It's not clear who started it, but Dam is the common link. I'm puzzled because it seems to me Dam should've gotten a prescription too so he wouldn't re-infect his women.
 

I'm so excited to see this episode after your wonderful recap Jardinera!

So Caro wants to go back to Santi bec Dam won't take her. What about showing some respect to Santi, whom you don't love and cheated on for 3 years, and just be alone!


 

Thanks Jardinera!

Just a minor correction: Lola told Bebo and Nico about the pictures, not Laura.

That last scene was great. Finally the confrontation we’ve been waiting for. I can’t believe Miriam told Damian about Santiago and Raquel. And I’m kinda confused as to why Leo the PT suddenly cares about his patient’s marital status/issues.

I wonder how many times in those three years did the Beckers go on a family vacation. And it seemed to me like Damian suggested this one. He obviously couldn’t dare ask Raquel for a divorce but was perfectly capable of making Carolina ask Santiago for one. I loved the look on Jovita’s face when Damian said he had to go into work. Major side eye lol

I wonder what Santiago will have to say about the pictures.
 

So Caro wants to go back to Santi bec Dam won't take her. What about showing some respect to Santi, whom you don't love and cheated on for 3 years, and just be alone!

Carvivlie, my feelings exactly. I hope Santi didn't commit the crime, but if he put together Caro's ping ponging him based on how her grand thing with Dam was going, I'd understand him snapping. But I sure hope instead he talked to Nacho, who would've tried to calm him down.
 

Carolina and Damian are both like the "perro de las dos tortas." If they can't have one, they want the other one back, and end up with nothing at the end. These people don't know how to be alone. And if they're dissatisfied with their marriages, why not divorce anyway? Carolina wasn't even convincing when trying to get Santiago back. She was so impassive.

When Carolina was yelling at Damian, she told him Raquel had his medicine too. Not sure if she was being ironic about it.

Jardinera, thank you for the excellent recap. I love your sense of humor including "Feddy is happy with his papi".

Can someone kindly help me with the timeline? At what point did Santi find out Caro was cheating on him with Dam. While he and Caro were separated or after they'd gotten back together?

I keep remembering that when Santiago was told they "found" Caro, he kept asking if she was dead.

Also, I thought Damian knew Raq and Santi were together (present time). Guess that was wrong.

Why would he go to Santi's house except to unmask a murderer? I think he knows who it was so unless it is Nico, I fear it is Raq or Santi.

Yes, Jovita's "side eyw" was wise and all knowing.

And what on earth prompted the Paris vacation? Dam certainly didn't seem to be mourning Caro when they made that big announcement, did he??

So now we will finally see what exactly happened in those few fateful days before the accident.

Jardinera, I was so happy to be reading your fine recaps again. It's been a pleasure. Thank you.

Diana
 

As far as I know, Santiago didn't find out about Caro cheating on him with Damian until the accident, or perhaps shortly before. He still would've taken Caro back, though.
 

Thanks Anon207.

I think exactly when he found out is crucial, especially if prior to the accident. That might have driven him over the edge (so to speak)...

Diana
 

Jardinera654, girl this is juicy and good.

Ok first: OMG,who the hell does he think he is comin into this man's house like He got a right demanding anything?After the mess he has caused. He came into this man's house and had his way with his wife and passed on a vaginal inffection(that's why it's good to stick with one person)and he passin the germs around. Nasty. Santi better have himself checked.

Fede don't know how to be sneaky. He
Should take lessons from daddy. He did
It for three years, and didn't caught
Till nearly the end. This the 2nd time
He been caught by Andres snoopin, he's
Not good at it. He should stop Before he ends up dead Like azcue might,I hope not tho. Andy Need to be stopped. Hopefully between Tonight and Friday his day will come.

She doesn't want them to "keep an eye on the crazy girl in the family". Shes
Gonna stay home with Federico. Well Fede don't wanta be lookin at the crazy ass Girl of the family either.
She Should go busy granny, they can freak each other out.

Miriam is another nervy chick. Puttin
ALL THE BLAME for the company going
Belly up on damian,(while he is partly the blame too) but she knew what was goin On for along time cuz she was all reaping Some benefits from the washin & drying of the money too. And he probably knew she was that's he told her to get the hell out of his room. How long had assdres Been laundering money? Is that why the company went to the bankruptcy court when the old man was in charge? How did he Die?
Was the heart attack induced by a drug
Given to him by his loving wife, his
Faithful crooked nephew? More ??? And
3 more nights to go.We may not get any
Answers to these questions.

But the big question"Who.Killed.Caro?"

Thank you Jardinera654♡ Thank you very
Much♡ great recap!

 

Thanks Jardinera. I did not understand that the reason that Damian went to Santiś house was to confirm that Raquel did not want him. She told him that - what an ego! I wonder who Carolina was calling after the pregnancy test proved positive. Maybe she thought it was Damianś baby. We know from the police reports that it was actually Santiś. Something must have happened in the last three weeks as it seemed that both couples were going back to their partners.
 

ANON 207-yes, both Carolina and Raquel had vaginal infections, we don't know who gave it to who but the common denominator is Damian. Carolina was angry because he asked her to end her marriage yet he is still living with Raquel and has not told her the truth and to make matters worse, he is sleeping with Raquel.
 

The infection they both had was candidiasis. That's a yeast infection. Men don't usually suffer much from it, but they can easily spread it.

When Carolina finds out about the pregnancy test she texts "I need to see you." She's reaching out to Damian.

Anon1146
 

The writers are also playing with us, at the start of this we were all led to believe that no one knew about the affair, but now we know that almost everyone knew, they have now thrown in the fact that Santiago hired a PI but we don't know for sure that the PI ever gave Santiago information about Carolina and Damian's affair, I don't think he knew that Carolina was with Damian until the accident happened.
 

Gracias, Jardinera. Great work.

It would not surprise me if Miriam had offed her husband back in the day, but I don't think we will ever know. If I were interviewing the actors I would ask Julieta Egurrolla about that, since that is a question she would have had to answer for herself while playing Miriam.

We also don't know whether he was still alive when she began abusing Damian. However, it would seem that he had to have lived until Damian was in college and closer to graduation than to starting if Damian had to rescue the factory. Otherwise how could he and Miriam have had enough money to live on? It therefore makes no sense to have so much personal money co-mingled with company money, unless that is customary in Mexico or there is a tax advantae we don't know about.

As for who knew what when about the affair, I'd say that Raquel and Santiago had bad vibes about this and somehow didn't want to know the truth when it was looking them in the face in the final month prior to the "accident."
 

We really don't know for sure if Carolina's last pregnancy actually was Santiago's. Antonio told him that, but Antonio could've told him that to spare him the humiliation of having his wife die pregnant with another man's baby.

The question about the last pregnancy is, "Did Carolina & Santiago have sex 2 months before her death?" We know she had sex with Damian but did she sleep with Santiago as well? At that point he was staying at Nacho's house with Nico.

I would say yes, because Santiago asked for the DNA test on the last pregnancy. But at that point, he suspected Carolina of cheating on him with "somebody" and he needed proof (hence, why he hired the PI).

Did Santiago get those pictures before Carolina's death or after Carolina's death? Lola is assuming he got them before her death but there was a time period between finding the accident scene and finding Carolina's body that elapsed. Did Santiago get the pictures then?
 

Hi all. I believe the question is: did Zanti open the packet prioi to the accident. YES, LOLA, told the boys she found the package of photos in his room. When we're they given to him???


 

P.S. thanks for the correction 🙄
 

I'm reading the re-cap of episode 1. Santiago gave the PI a packet of money, but there is no mention of the PI giving him anything, so it would appear that Santiago got the pictures before the accident.

However, in the same episode, when Santiago & Godoy got to the hospital, Godoy wanted to know who Santiago was and Santiago told him he was a friend of the family. Then Godoy told him there were some items in the car that belonged to a woman named Carolina Rivas. At that point, Santiago claimed it couldn't be and then wanted to know where Carolina was. He then went searching for Carolina.

If Santiago had looked at the envelope prior to the accident, he would've already known Carolina was with Damian.

Also, was Santiago tossing and turning in his own bed or at Nacho's place?

Also in that same episode Antonio asked Santiago did he know why Carolina would be afraid of him and the "report" said Santiago was deranged. But obviously Carolina wasn't fleeing Santiago the night she died, she just thought she was having 2 days of sexytimes with Damian.

I'm thinking Santiago & Carolina "reconciled" and he moved back home but obviously she kept cheating on him. It's the only way I can think of that Santiago would think Carolina's last pregnancy could've been his.

Also, it was revealed in that episode that the Godoy cheating event happened one year prior to the accident.




 

Reading what you and Princess Juju wrote Anon207, now I'm wondering if Santi might have gotten the pictures from someone else other than the PI. Fede??

I am going with Santi knowing before the accident.

However, he might not have expected Caro to be in the car. Maybe.

Diana
 

Santi may have rec'd the pictures after the fact--after the accident.

Caro obviously had sex with Santi prior to asking for a divorce---or at least a month or 2 before asking, if she is having symptoms now.

I don't think Antonio would lie to Santi about who's baby it is because it is germane to the case.

Dam taking Raq to Paris makes no sense to me---unless he planned to kill her.
 

Thanks Jardinera. Your title provokes me to say: the whole bunch was in that third car: Raquel, Andres, Santiago, Fede, Nico and Mia who was driving the clown car! Everyone wants a piece of Carolina.
 

You pertty much hit it. A whole lot Of nastiness goin on. Gross. He Could have aleast used a condemn. Jerk.
 

Or he could have just stopped the cheating altogether. Not!
 

Nina: I'm not trusting that so-called Physician, who's helping Damian, etc.,


 

Lolz, I love the idea of the third car acting like a clown car,lol.
 

I think he's a physical therapist Steve.
 

They should have been fired that Barbara Walters wonnabe, her career is made up of fake news anyway. Laura is not. Very nice human being. So glad
Godoy is on to her and is finish with
Her.
So glad when 10:00 gets here. Damian never should have went to that house.
 

Jardinera thank you so much for recap, I wanted to thank you before tonight's episode airs.
I agree with the comments about Carolina, I was thinking she needs to stay away from Santi because now she is going to pass whatever it is she has to Santi and he does not deserve to get anything from this woman.
Tonight's episode promises to be an explosive one.
 

Hi everyone

Hello NiNa.....we misssss you over at Papa

kj
 

Hello Kirby. I think I may have lost interest in that one. I'll glance at it every now and then.I miss your snark over here, cuz there's a lot to
Snark about. Especially this last week
Of this tn. You been missin out on some fun stuff Kirby.But there's still
Time get on on it.
 

I want to thank you Jardinera from the bottom of my novela-loving heart. Nothing to add except that when Santi met PI it was to give him the down payment.

The PI didnt start looking for Santi until long after Caros death, so I think the pictures confirmed what had already been revealed regarding “the affair”.

Ohh weeeeeh the ANTICIPATION!!!!!!
