Caray, Caray!

Sangre 51 1/2

intense!

the kiss, JJ reminds Aurora it was on live tv, she doesn't care, they spend the night together.

Rob really thought Aurora was on a work trip, Sara keeps calling her a slut, he should have gone (I would have liked to see him in Cancun), he has a headache and slides down on the bed, does this mean we won't be going to the beach, Sara asks.

and Cris begins his beatdown of Leo, the girls slow him down enough for Leo to run, Cris catches him outside ripping off his wig and top, but when a crowd gathers he leaves, Leo begs him not to leave him there like that, Cris lets him in, and at home the beat down continues, Meche goes for Dimas to stop him.

super cool Rob arises, he has a plan, sends Sara to her home with Emilio, calls Reyes, his dirty tricks guy, for a meet.

Paco and Paloma rendezvous at Aurora's house, (thought Sara might catch them) Paco is all guilt, he left Nat so he wouldn't have to make up an excuse, does he want to quit, nope, their on.

Horatio has come to pick up Sere for the Cancun trip, he makes small talk with Joaquin who doesn't, he doesn't like Horatio ever since he broke his daughter heart, she has a good man now.

kill someone?, Reyes wants lots of money this time in case Rob abandons him half way through like last time. (that still cracks me up)

Leo packs a bag and tries to sneak out, no luck, more beating and it's locked in his room, Cris takes his phone.

Leo is cowering in his room as Meche tries to calm Cris down, Sofi and Alexis arrive, he blows them off, then rants about no one to carry on his bloodline, and of course blames Meche, her feminine ways and all, Dimas shows and reminds Cris of the payroll, he has Dimas do it, the passwords are in my desk.

Sofi calls, Cris answers, says he'll kill her if she ever comes around.

Robs at the office trying to get into the system to get money for Reyes (didn't he a Negron just split over a million when they emptied the cayman account).

Paloma arrives and Cris finds out he was the only one that didn't know about Leo, a family of sickos, (Paloma calling Leo her sister doesn't help).

Susan/Ernesto arrive, someone reported a transphobic incident, she wants to see Leo, Cris slides into a heart attack, Leo blames himself.

Dimas is setting up the payroll when Meche calls him with the news, Rob says I'll do it, nope, good man Dimas shuts things down and gets Rob out of the office.

JJ asks Aurora to marry him, she knows he isn't the marrying type, routines and all, he says he's matured, wants to have a family with her, a home, the works, she drags it out, when JJ notices missed calls from Paloma, Aurora has lots too, they call, Aurora says she will be on the next plane.

 

Sangre 51 2/2

Dolores shows at the office for her check, her rent is due, Rob can't help her, does he have her call Meche.

at the hospital, faithful son-in-law is by Meche's side as she is being overwhelmed with calls from people wanting their money, do something Rob, I can't, she hands him the notebook with the passwords.

on the way out, Rob meets JJ and Aurora, he's too polite, Emilio is fine and at daycare, father is out of danger, etc. etc.

Meche returns home and tells Leo to pack a bag for a month, and on the road she tells him she has taken Padre Antonio's advice, they are going to a church camp where the psychologists and doctors will cure him, ah but they stop for gas, and Leo disappears.

Rob gets into the companies system, calls Reyes, he has the money, hurry and you can get "him" at the hospital.

Leo has found a quiet spot to put on his finest, makeup and all, he sends a video to all, he ment no harm, maybe Aurora and Paloma will be his sisters in another life, then downs a bottle of Ansiolithic pills, JJ gets the police on it, but where could Leo be, as the crosshairs of a sniper rifle fall on Juanjo...

Looks like this will end bloodthirsty!

Another amazing recap, deb! I don't know how you do it so well and so quickly, but I'm very grateful.

You captured it all. I can just say that I was surprised that no one came to Leo's aid as Cris was beating him publicly. I used to think that Cris would eventually reform and repent, but I now think that's highly doubtful. I'm not sure what sort of conclusion I want to see for him. He's a contemptible human being. He beats his son, he cheats his daughter, he blames Meche for Leo's being transgender. Death? Prison? Some kind of invalidism? I dunno.

I too thought that Rob now had a nice chunk of change from his smarmy arrangement with Negron. Surely he didn't keep that on his work computer, did he? So I too wonder why he needed access to it.

Dimas seems to have made a remarkable recovery, both physically (he was able to pull Cris away from Leo) and mentally (he apparently shut down the computer before leaving the office after Meche's call).

So now Rob has all the passwords, and there's no one knowledgeable around to stop him. Should be an interesting several episodes.

Will Leo survive? If they find him/her in time, they can probably pump his/her stomach. IF s/he's found in time.
 

Sangre

Thank you, deb!

Juanita, yes Cris is contemptible but I suppose there is always a chance that he will repent--perhaps on his deathbed. I'm sure his wife will forgive him, if no one else. If there is nothing left for him here, let him go to his beloved Emilio.

Paloma turned to look when Cris went down but she then raced up the stairs to Leonora. Good! I am hoping that Leonora will be saved.

Meche and Cris are from the dark ages. She believes in praying away the LGBT and he kept his wife isolated at home and incapable of functioning in the real world. It's all coming back to bite them.

I thought that Rob was accessing the bodega's accounts. Why would he dip into his own money when he can continue to rip off the family.

I was very disappointed at the Serena/Horacio hookup that allowed Aurora to take the moral high ground. Will Serena end up with Horacio? Ugh.

I am having a hard time rooting for Aurora and Juanjo. They do little for me and they still have a lot of maturing to do. Will the endgame have them packing up Emilito and driving off to Ushuaia? Or would the writers dare to kill one of them?

No Anita last night? BTW, where has Luis been? It's time to warn his wife yet again, HA!

Cris deserves no redemption. He's done nothing to show much concern for his daughters, and his son's only value is as his legacy. He didn't even care about Rob's treatment of Aurora until she was no longer pregnant with his future grandson (assume he wouldn't care if it had been a girl). I hope they don't give him a last-minute change of heart because it won't ring true.

Meche not deserving of much love either anymore. Then again, no one is, except Serena and maybe Luis if he's still around (he's suffered with Anita enough). I'd say Paloma but this affair with Paco is idiotic. I hope Jordan comes back. That kiss the other day that Aurora planted on Juanjo was a bit insensitive considering he just broke up with her supposed best friend. Maybe things happened that we didn't see, but it's not like Aurora took the high ground. Sere may have cheated on Juanjo, but only because someone didn't almost catch them in the act as happened many episodes ago with Aurora and Juanjo. She is no better than Serena and he's no catch. And Aurora should probably focus on her business and her family (especially Leo) before marrying again. Maybe Serena should be the one to go to France and leave all these jerks (except her dad) behind.

Sangre,

Luis, Juaquin, & Delores are the only innocent characters left on the show. Serena may be heartbroken but she's made her share of bad decisions in her relationship with Juanjo. The writers have mixed things up so much lately that it's even hard to empathize with the victims/protagonists.

Juanita, dondi356, Kelly
Agree completely about Chris. Up until last night's episode, I was hoping that Chris would have redemption of some kind, even after having an affair, turning his back on his daughters, and backing Roberto so many times. But last night, after beating sweet Leonardo/Leonora, my only hope is that Chris learns that Roberto's tinkling with car's breaks caused the accident and Emilio's death.
 

I meant brakes!

Sangre 52

Susan arrives at the hospital and unknowingly blocks Reyes shot, he shows at Rob's whose frantically awaiting for the call that the deed is done, Rob orders him around until Reyes gets loud about the last job, as Wilmer's sister lives in the same building, he wants double the money now.

detective JJ focuses on finding Leo, hears a train in Leo's video and they zero in on that building, finding the prescription bottle of Dimas, and later Leo, he is critical.

Sara wants to play and the clothes start to come off... but Rob takes a bath instead, and dresses nice to take Emilio back to Aurora.

at the hospital they reflect on how Leo was always dressing in the girls clothes, playing princess, oh until Cris beat him, he was 6 then.

Nat is fed up with Paco's lies and excuses and at the hospital tells Susan Paco has a lover, who? Susan asks revealing nothing, Nat doesn't know, and later we learn that when Mike told Susan about Paco's affair, she promised not to tell.

outside, Paco is there for Paloma, and kiss as they part, JJ sees, gets it, and doesn't like it, dad, Paco says he loves her, and back inside out of the blue, JJ stops Nat, tells her that he loves her very much.

JJ and Aurora are at her place when Rob arrives with Emilio, Aurora has him hide but Rob sees his jacket, the next morning Rob is watching, Aurora goes to the hospital, JJ stays with Emilio who has a cold, Rob follows Aurora, Sara sees it all.

later Nat tries to be nice to Paco, he wants to go over some work, and after she leaves he goes for his phone, Nat sees, he texts Paloma that he is finding their situation unbearable, when he finishes and goes to Nat, she is gone, next morning she comes home dressed super sexy, hung over, he wants to know where she has been, she gives him his excuse, went to a tasting (are these like every day) drank too much, got a room.

at the hospital Cris has totally avoided anything to do with Leo, couldn't even look at the video, Meche asked if that was a stone in his chest, but now he is checking himself out, he hates hospitals, has Dimas tell Meche who spent the night with Leo.

Leo awakes wants to know why he is still alive, because you are not good at suicide Paloma kids, Meche calls him Leo, nope, from this day on Leonardo no longer exists, he says.

Leo is not sure about going home, Paloma says Meche will control the beast, and we she her fixing up his room, with a more feminine touch, Cris will have none of it, Meche says if you beat him I will stab you, he decides to kick her out, nope, she holds her ground, and packs his bag, he leaves with out it.

Rob has been frantic to get a hold of Negron, he needs his cut and away from that stupid hag, are you talking about me Sara asks, she's had it with Rob, she sees how he is obsessed with Aurora, Rob loses it and rips on her from her cooking to her calling him cute, she slaps him, he punches her, grabs her, is he taking off his belt to thrash her, (that was probably the end of a show) she rushes out the door, he follows apologizing all the way, she's in her car he leans in but backs off as she has a taser, Dolores is watching.

Rob talks to Negron, Sara wants out, Negron tells him to fix it or Sara will tell Cris, Rob arrives at Sara's like it's a date, flower in hand only to see Sara's Realtor friend posting for sale signs, furnished even, Rob asks where she is, can't give out that information, especially to you.

so Rob heads over to Aurora's house where JJ is playing with Emilio who comes to him, we should take his temperature, feels warm, and in the house they go, JJ will call Aurora, no need to worry her, and goes for the thermometer, as Rob is focused on JJ's keys ???...

Muchas gracias, deb, for another terrific recap. I was glad to see Meche finally accept Leonora for who she is, and I was surprised and delighted to see Meche hold her ground with Cris. I thought the actress who plays Meche did a very good job of conveying determination coupled with discomfort.

I enjoyed Juanjo's chewing out "dad" for being unfaithful to Natalia, and especially with someone young enough to be his daughter.

Well, Sara's no dummy (as she keeps telling Rob). She had the good sense to put her house up for sale and leave, with no forwarding address for Rob. But he's no dummy either. I suspect Sara hasn't seen the last of him. And if/when she does, that might be the last of her.

I wasn't sure what Rob was focusing on at the end when Juanjo went to look for a thermometer. Rob's image got blurry, suggesting perhaps that he was about to lose control. Then that passed, and the episode ended. I guess we'll find out on Monday.
 

Sangre

deb, another great recap!

I'll just add that Natalia was leaning towards another bout with depression. She 'knows', but can't confirm, that Paco is cheating, thus his weak lies are starting to eat away at her. She basically told Susan that she'd die if its confirmed...and she had the same sadness in her eyes that she had a few weeks ago. But when she asked Susan how she would feel if Mike cheated on her, Susan said she'd cheat on Mike ('ojo por ojo'). Nat then realized that there's another way she could handle him.

I was shocked to see her walk in the next day in an enticing outfit, using the same excuse Paco used on her when he stayed out all night. But i think she eventually owned up to spending the night at Susan and Mike's. This is a new game for Nat and whether or not she can do it remains to be seen.

Rob has mastered the art of being cordial and controlled with everyone including Juanjo ... so everyone's guard is down. (I don't know if he was looking at Juanjo's keys but I've wondered if he planted recorders in Aurora's house.) On the other hand, Rob now has 2 potential threats, Reyes and Sara, and neither are afraid to retaliate for being burned. Watching them both remind him that he does not have the upper hand was priceless.

thanks guys, great comments!

and thanks Spanish Student for clarifying the Nat/Paco thingy, I missed some of that, I believe that Nat also threw out that she didn't want to know who the other woman was, but maybe she was just saying that, and later she did confront Paco about having a lover, do you want to go live with her (or something).

ok, Aurora can see that something is bothering Juanjo (his dad's affair) but he won't spill, it's not his place to be telling her, but after Emilio is asleep, and they are in bed together she does answer his question, yes, I will marry you.

 

Great recap, Deb, thank you!

I also previously thought Cris could be reformed or forgiven, but now the only way I can see it is if he goes to jail (which he certainly could), and then after a year or so, he has seen the light, he's not macho anymore, or something like that, and his 3 daughters forgive him. Or not.

I think that since Sara is the strawman, Rob and Negron can't get the Cayman Island money without her. And she's not too happy with Rob now, having finally gotten sick and tired of his pretending to like her, when he really is still trying to recover Aurora. She knows a lot, but who knows if she'll talk. Dolores has seen a few things recently, too, but she is usually too scared to say anything.

Paco is terrible of course, not only for his affair with Paloma, but also for not telling Natalia. He says he loves Paloma (he directly said that to JJ). But he also still loves Nat, and that just isn't going to work. He has to tell Natalia the truth, and face the consequences.

Meche has so many burdens, yet she continues to be strong. She even thanked JJ for saving Leo's life, and that must have been very difficult after all the anger she held towards him.

It also sort of looks as if the two families are coming back together again, the way they were at the start of the show. Of course, not Crisanto. No way.

The show is super exciting now, every day brings new action, revelations and life or death for a few cast members. I've also been noticing the loud sound effects and ominous music which make everything just a little bit MORE.

Ok, so Meche is earning back her redemption. Her punishment is lose all the family money that Rob stole to Sara, which is both terrible and hilarious. Meche will be fine back in the good graces of her family, Cris will be devastated but no one will care, and Rob is toast. Nice to see crazy Sara back on the scene making things better for viewers! I hope she has a lovely time in Panama.

And if Meche can get some of that money back, she can put it towards whatever Leo needs. Cris can watch his new daughter from the very distant sidelines.
