Por Amar Sin Ley, 7/5/18 Chapter 91: A Killer Revealed and A Killing With Two Fates Sealed
Parte 1~
We return to the bar for Uni’s double dose of what we--along with Loony Leonardo--all suspected and have waited for lo these many endless weeks. It’s Alan calmly paying off the bawling, pathetic Pedro’s decrepit and morally lacking lawyer with a gym bag full of bills. Alan’s demeanor and expression is straighter than straight, a manner and mien only a sociopathic psycho killer could succeed at. He savors the memory of the murder he’s gotten away with in much the same way he savors the taste of his high-priced sipping whiskey. He thinks back to entering Carlos’s room once his cousin had finally gone, viewing the still sleeping slut, and then holding a pillow over her frightened femme del fatal hasta el final….until she lay lifeless. Poom!
In another part of the city, Ricardo, Roberto and Leo are enjoying happy hour together once again. Leo gives the other two the news about his having accepted a position in N.Y.C. with a high-priced legal firm and is taking Olivia with him immediately after their wedding. Rob is closed to heart-broken but bears up as he should. His best bud is soon to be a bye-gone. We’ll give him that and hope he matures a bit with this news.
Weeks later…….
It’s Leo and Oli’s long awaited wedding day. Juan shows his mama his expensive new suit he’s wearing to the event. She tells him how proud she is of him and how successful he looks. (Viewerville still says the proof’s in the puddin’ which will be when Juanito gets his very own office. Gawd knows, Alonso’s got enough of them emptying out now to choose from! With 4 open offices does Juan even begin to think of asking Rob for one of them? Inquiring minds want to know.) He tells her he’s going to get rich and famous at Vega (well, successful and very well off) and he’ll return to her all the riches he’s received both figuratively as well as literally. (I say, back her in a catering bidnez and she’ll be just fine.)
Back across the tracks, Gustavo and Isabela leave for the wedding together. They have plans for a family outing the next day with a soccer ball.
In Down-Town, D.F., Benjamin’s trial for money laundering Ramiro Dorante’s stolen condominium cash is being tried again. For what it’s worth, Carlos admits Benj meant to stash the cash in a laundered fashion, but despite the video presented he never once knew nor was he told where that money came from. The prosecuting attorney essentially says he knew it wasn’t clean and hid it, never once declaring it as he’d have no doubt hoped, in a remorseful reparation. That’s got to count against him!
In the end the judge gives Benji six years and he has got to give the cash back to the defrauded condo buyers. Benji whines and protests to no avail. Carlos says he’ll appeal, no doubt supposing that if he doesn’t get the dude out El Ciego is not going to be a happy camper A.T. A.L.L. Benji, if nothing else, asks that his son doesn’t learn he’s now Benji The Jailbird but, as we soon see, Karina has different plans.
At the church somewhere in Up-Town, D.F., Lonnie walks Oli up the aisle and gives her away. Leo and she make a very handsome and happy couple. The mass begins, then ends with a tremendously overlong and overdue kiss. (Viewerville cheers and weeps the tears of Love’s triumph as we always do in a finale boda.)
At the reception, Oli confides she thinks Victoria should give Rob a decent chance. She thinks the two are meant for each other. Vicki is seriously considering this—especially when Rob tells her no, he won’t be going for the garter cuz he doesn’t believe in marriage, as she already knows, and besides, all he wants is standing there right in front of him……
Back in Down-Town, Jacinto brings a bag o’ bills to El Ciego with a request. He’s leaving for parts still unknown. However, he wants E.C. and Co. to kill every one of Vega and Associate’s legal beagles. They need to learn that people like him need to be respected! E.C. takes on the contractual...er...obligation.
Well, to Ric the Brick’s credit, he catches Oli’s garter and mentions to Ale that he now has another one which will go with hers in his keepsake box on the coffee table. “--Must be fate,” he tells her. Now that he’s gotten the final adoption paperwork approved, he’s free to pursue her again and will. He wants a chance to “go steady” again. Just then Carlos arrives to the reception. He watches Ale and Ric chatting across the room and sheds a wee tear. Ric the Brick has hung in there with Ale. But, yep, she's still a will-o'-the-wisping—or is it fickling--along. She is happy for him but after telling Ric she understood about the kids thing early on, she’s decided it was too tense for her.
Nope, Ale says she’s not afraid, but she wants time to consider if being with him (a divorced man with half grown kids) is really what she wants. He’ll still be there trying to persuade her he’s right for her. She’s the love of his life, after all—or at least, he thinks so at this point. He breaks away from her then—or she from him (does it matter?) and Carlos and he butt heads. She’s free, yes, but so is Rick now. Carlos says he’s proved his innocence of the P.L. murder and so he’ll be leavin’ Ric in the dust where Ale’s concerned…..and blah, blah, blah. (Ric can do better as far as this corner of Viewerville’s concerned. And, Carlos may be a cheat and a wee bit crooked, but he's so much better looking and better built than the wimpy Ricster. Now if he could just get a bit of blond babe streak back into his hair…...) FF>>FF>>
Juan and Fer are taking a twirl on the dance floor. Viewerville duly notes that either Juanito needs elevator shoes or Fer needs to make do with flats. In any event, he proposes and she accepts. Money be damned. She just wants lil’ ol’ him.
Karina pays a final visit to Benji. She’s taking their son and he’ll never hear from them ever again. His son is going to know all the bad stuff Benji ever did if she has anything to do with it. He shamefully tells her that Leticia meant nothing and she’s heard it all before and has him talk to the hand. He screams at her as she walks out of his life a final time.
~~end parte 1~~
===============================
parte 2 ~~
The reception lasts into the wee hours of the morning.
Vicki and Rob return to Vicki’s apartment/condo. She admits she had a great time at the wedding. He tells her he’s ready to give her a good time every day of the week if she’d just let him. He admits he loves seeing her smile and he mentions then that he believes she’s really bewitched him. He is fascinated with her. She drives him crazy with desire. They kiss. They keep on kissing. (Viewerville wonders: will they or won’t they?)
Gus and Isa get home and realize they’ve got a flat tire on his car. He doesn’t want to have to change it right then and there in her garage. She doesn’t make him. El Ciego’s Goon Squad continue following and watching them for their opening. Gus and Isa group to the condo together.
Back at Vicki’s, she and Rob are roasting the couch but she finally says NO! She agrees with him that they both want this. She agrees but says they really have to think of the consequences. He says it’s not about thinking; it’s about feeling. They begin the longing lip-locking again. She backs off. What’s to consider? She doesn’t want to become disappointed in him so much so that she won’t be able to face him at the office. What? Does he profess how much he loves her or wants or needs her or whatever? No. He tells her they’re adults and can handle anything that happens with maturity. (Speak for yourse’f, buster! As for me, I say Victoria pay attention to those alarm bells going off in your head right now.)
Rob pursues the kiss and touchy-feely factor but eventually Vicki begs off. “--You are too important to me to take a risk and lose you. He is perturbed and says he simply doesn’t understand, but at least he realizes she does care about him a little bit. They kiss some more then he stops, knowing that he had better or he’ll try doing something stupid—really stooooooopid—to ruin it all. He quickly admits there’s one thing in life he hates: having to take an ice cold bath which is what he’s about to do once he gets home. “--Good-bye, Beautiful.” He kisses her good-bye (to his credit) and picks up the clothes he’s thrown around. He says something about not ruining it? Anyway, he leaves and she’s left to ponder where she goes with him and her from here on. She’s definitely as frustrated as he is but also angry in that the dude couldn’t commit-- and in Viewerville’s opinion, that’s what she’s definitely been looking for. (Rob needs a reality check-in with his Papito to explain the facts of life.
In another part of Up-Town, Gus and Isa return to what should be remarried bliss in the bedroom. FF>>FF>>
Ale, Paula and Jaime return home now. Ale admits she got a bit sentimental remembering her wedding day and the dress and all that….Jaime tells her to learn to leave the past in the past and look towards a bright new future. They talk about what Ale will do with her love life and Paula reminds her life’s too short to waste, but she does want her to do whatever makes her happy along as it’s the man who will make her happy. They have another bit of whiskey as a nightcap.
At Vega’s law offices, Rob and Juan are looking over Leo’s left overs. They’ll need to hire a few more criminal lawyers to get this done, but in the mean time they do what they can to sort through it all.
The next morning or whenever it was supposed to be, Isa and Gus and Luis are to head out for the family day. She drives out in the black Mercedes with Isa driving and suddenly Mr. Clean and another goon open up with assault rifles. They must shoot off a hundred rounds a piece. Isa is bloody. A minute later Gus arrives to see that not only Isa but Luis as well are dead as door mice. Viewerville sheds a tear for Gus. Boring as this relationship was to Viewerville, he had still worked so hard at making up for his marital mistake; now, to have it come to this…. But, on a much brighter side, he and Isa finally got it together and got it on one last loving time. So…..
Ric is riding up the elevator with a blond babe dressed in skin tight pants and CMF heels. She recognizes him. They chat politely and get off on the same floor—Vega & Associates. She goes in to speak with Alonso. Ale better look at her 6 cause there's competition arriving. There’s a new blond babe on the horizon at Vega. (Now, Viewerville admits that it is a bit long in the professional tooth, but this is the first time it has ever heard of a professional woman going to an appointment with the head of the largest and most famous law firm in all of the D.F. / the country of Mexico dressed in skinny CFM tights/jeans? and CFM heels (and an ugly, albeit designer and mighty expensive, print as it may be that she’s wearing. At least she could have brought a jacket along to look a bit more professional in this circumstance? After all it turned out to be a job interview. —She is just too tasteless for words—and yet I’ve delivered quite a satisfying few on the topic. Cheers!) Turns out she’s got three other job offers and has a fabulous resume, including studying in Boston. Toot, toot, Toots! Her horn’s a-blowin’. Suppose that’s the reason we figured she could waltz into Lonnie’s in such lean, mean lounge-wear. She’s introduced to what’s left of the Lil’ Rascals and they accept her into their bosom willingly.
Afterwards, Lon and the crew determine what cases they can handle and what needs a new lawyer hired in to handle. A few minutes into this discussion Ric gets The Call from Gus. The firm races to the police station to be with him in his time of need.
Meanwhile, El Ciego hears that Mr. Clean and the other goons in his charge blew it big time by killing the family and not the lawyer. He shoots one of the goons in anger and makes Mr. Clean beg for his life. Yes, he will give Mr. Clean another chance but he better make good!
At the police station, Gus explains the family day and that Luis forgot his shoes so he’d gone back up to get them (?) The murders happened in the meantime. Gus tearfully tells Lonnie that he knows this was done because of what they were about to do to Jacinto and did do to Ramiro. He swears he’ll find the ones responsible and make them pay! Oh, the pain, he cries. He cannot deal with such pain! Lon and the others look on and the gals give him a grand hug. Outside the courthouse? Or police station? Juan has learned, and reports to Rob, that from the number of shots and wounds to the body and the manner it was done, the shooting shows ties to organized crime. They agree that Jacinto is part and parcel of this kind of people. It’s unjust and brutal. Rob agrees and replies that nobody but nobody messes with the Law Firm of Vega and gets away with it!
A bit later the bodies, having been released, are now at the funeral home. Gus is there waiting for the others and crying his eyes out. He swears to his family that he’ll get those responsible. Lon and Ric arrive. Gus tells them, crying hysterically, that it should have been him in a coffin, not his family! Lonnie says he’ll make the responsible one pay for this. “--What good does justice do since it cannot bring them back?” The others begin to arrive to pay their respects……...
We return to the bar for Uni’s double dose of what we--along with Loony Leonardo--all suspected and have waited for lo these many endless weeks. It’s Alan calmly paying off the bawling, pathetic Pedro’s decrepit and morally lacking lawyer with a gym bag full of bills.

Tsk, Tsk, Kirby Johnson! Always a killing at the end of these things. Me, I was expecting an attack but NOT the way it turned out nor the who.
Blue: Hope I get it all right. Correct anything you deem dumb and dumber....
Steve: Hope it meets your standards.....je-je.....

Thanks, Jardinera. Fine part 1. Alan’s demeanor and expression is straighter than straight, a manner and mien only a sociopathic psycho killer could succeed at. Great line, I was thinking the same thing, only without your knockout eloquence.
Another great turn of phrase: frightened femme del fatal hasta el final
Hmmm, after Benji’s sentencing, the judge and Carlos exchange a look. Wonder what that’s about.
I like Ric's looks just fine, dark eyes, nice shoulders, bowed legs and all, but he doesn't have his threads custom-tailored like Carlos does. Anyhoo, after all this indecision on her part, Ale should just give Carlos another opportunity. He's going to continue stalking her and patting her down and she's going to continue letting him, so just get back together already. Then, if she finds she's lost that loving feeling, give Ric an opportunity, if his dance card is still open.

Hey all, I don't know if anyone here watched Vino el Amor a while back, but DisGraciela, Kimmy 2 Ramos, showed up last night as Sofia, the blonde who wedged her way into the elevator with Brick. She was wearing a pair of pants made, it appears, from a cheap K Mart slipcover or the drapes from her trailer.
Kirby: "She was wearing a pair of pants made, it appears, from a cheap K Mart slipcover or the drapes from her trailer"....LOL!! Couldn't have said it better and wish that I had!

Niecie: Ok. Points on Ric the Brickster's looks. To each her own, je-je. ITA, go with Carlos now. She really is horny for him me thinks and should act on it once and for all. Why mess with a divorced dude with half-grown kids. She's too young to be at that point in her life. Start anew, even if it is with Carlos the Crooked.
And yep, I missed mentioning the look between Carlos and the judge.
Ava/Blue: I do think the fin will be fun!

So I guess Victoria was just a chase the entire time for Roberto? He left it pretty clear yesterday that he’s interested in a friends with benefits relationship, but not much more. Ironically, Victoria has said in the earlier episodes that she wasn’t interested in getting committed to anyone either, and she did tell Roberto once that she was dating just to have sex. As sad as the situation is now, she did have this coming. Hopefully she finds someone else who’s worth her time.
I think Alejandra should do what she told Ricardo, and just stay alone for a while. She needs to stop wasting everyone’s time. Her laissez-faire behavior shows she’s not that into both of these guys, otherwise she would be with one of them. It’s like she doesn’t want to deal with their baggage, without realizing that she herself has a ton of it too. What does Ricardo even see in her? Her childish behavior should have kept him away by now.
Good riddance to Olivia.

Olivia, girl bye. I'm so glad I won't have to see her in season 2,well that's if I'll sign up for it.
I like Kimmy. I read that Ana Brenda isn't going to be as involved in the second season as she was in the first because she wasn't prepared for it and had other plans. Well no loss there either. The lesser we see of her, the better.

Unless I fell asleep, Gus hadn't discovered Isa and Luis dead. That scene ended with El Gato and the other goon looking at them and the show ended with Sofia being introduced to Roberto, Ricardo and Victoria.

Sofia is the Alejandra replacement for both her place at Vega and her place with Ricardo. I believe Sofia has the same legal specialty as Alejandra and I don't think she'd be afraid to go toe to toe with Elena.
What would serve Alejandra right is if both Ricardo AND Carlos decided they were tired of Alejandra's foolishness and both of them kicked her to the curb.
Alejandra was so wimpy, I was rooting for everyone but her to get Ricardo. I was lowkey wanting Ricardo and Elena to get back together.

I wanted Elena and Ricardo to get back together too! I thought that when Elena had the accident, Ricardo would have realized he still loved her. It seemed to be going there.
There still is Victoria, but I doubt that will happen.
I thought they said Sofia would be the new penalista? As in replacing Leonardo?

I thought I heard "international law" somewhere in her interview with Alejandra.
Maybe they write Alejandra off the show by saying she had to take some case in the US.
With Alejandra, there was always an excuse as to why she couldn't be with Ricardo:
Carlos in jail
Carlos on trial
The Kids
Elena
Elena & The Kids
Alejandra is Not A Possession (but Carlos was the only one treating her as a possession)
Ricardo Is A Divorced Man With Kids
The bottom line is Alejandra doesn't know what she wants, doesn't want to hurt anyone's feelings by making a decision and wanted to feel better after Carlos cheated on her and Ricardo was there and fit the bill. You couldn't root for Alejandra because she refused to root for herself.
Elena is immature, narcissistic and cheated on Ricardo but I can't blame her 100% for the relationship's breakdown. Ricardo fell in love with the kids and Elena came along with the deal. The cheating was just a nice excuse to ditch Elena when working long hours at the office didn't give her the hint. I think the accident forced Elena to see how she was wrong.
Now that she's allowing Ricardo to formally adopt the children, I wonder if the children's father shows up in Season 2 to contest the adoption (if he's still alive)?
There will be at least 4 job openings at Vega: Leo, Olivia*, Benjamin and Leticia
I think Alonso was interviewing Sofia for a senior attorney position but I think the only one of the 4 who are leaving Vega who was a senior attorney was Benjamin. Olivia and Leticia weren't and I don't think Leonardo was a senior attorney either.
I don't think Alonso was hiring Sofia to replace Leo/Oli/Leticia/Benjamin. I think this is a new senior attorney position that has nothing to do with the above 4, and Alonso will be hiring 4 more attorneys in addition to Sofia to replace the 4 who left.
I'm not sure if Gustavo is a senior attorney or not.
*Olivia might not be able to practice law in the United States for a long while so if she's going with Leo she might as well start her family while she gets her qualifications to practice in the United States in order.

Thanks two oh seven.
I like Kimmy too. She was just deliciously hateful in Vino, but enterprising, smart, and resourceful. Well, dishonest and a liar too, but she was the bad girl and she did it justice. I usually have trouble hating anyone as pretty as her, but I laughed when she rolled down the stairs.
If she is Ana Blanda's replacement season 2 might be fun if she is anything like the parts she has played in the past. At least she has some pizzaz. AB just seemed matronly the whole time.

Hi, y'all
Wishing you good closure on your season finale tonight. I'm sure you already know El Chapo 3 is replacing this on Monday. They're now announcing the estreno of La Piloto 2 on *Sunday* July 29 at 10pm/9c.
And if you're thinking "No way, not my taste, what else is there?" here's a list

Hi Jardinera, thank you for the recap. I hot more than I expected. Last night, in San Antonio, it ended with Isa being savagely shot at. Immediately the 10:00 news started. It did not show any of the rest. No crying Gus or no dead child. No phone call to Ric from Gus. Just Iss being shot and i was over. I dont mind that the recap is a spoiler for me, at all. I am just wondering if those parts will be shown tonight. Feels so weird, dont know how that happened.
Thanks for list Kat. You read my mind and others too, I’m sure. Even though drama novelas have violence too, it doesnt compare to the narco novelas.
Bien hecho, Jardinera. You have the makings of film noir in your opening paragraph about Alan: Alan’s demeanor and expression is straighter than straight, a manner and mien only a sociopathic psycho killer could succeed at. He savors the memory of the murder he’s gotten away with in much the same way he savors the taste of his high-priced sipping whiskey. He thinks back to entering Carlos’s room once his cousin had finally gone, viewing the still sleeping slut, and then holding a pillow over her frightened femme del fatal hasta el final….until she lay lifeless. How apt for this situation!
No way in hell should Alejandra take Carlos back. He's still tethered to El Ciego and that could mean certain death in Season 2. He also still seems ridiculously naive about what this means in that he has kept photos of Alejandra on his desk and his bookshelves at home and he knows now that El Ciego does not respect his boundaries.
If Alonso doesn't give one of the vacated offices to Juan I will freak.
As soon as I saw that completely inappropriate outfit on Sofia I realized that the writers felt they needed a true Fashion Felon for next season. There were a few Class B Misdemeanors in this series but not even a Class C Felony on that front. This is the perfect actress for this and I guess she is meant to be Alejandra's next competition for Ricardo (whom I think is far handsomer than Carlos).
I looked up El Chapo and it was done as a joint venture between Netflix and Univision. There are only 22 episodes between the first two seasons. Most of the actors don't look familiar to me and Pablo Escobar appears as a character in the first two seasons, so some of this is based on real people. I hate that they ventured into the narco stories, but at least they're keeping them short.

Ugh, tough episode although you did it justice Jardinera. And like others, my telecast ended with the brutal slaying of Isabela. I did not know the child was killed also. We just saw her body heaving and buckling with the rain of bullets. Really a bloody, brutal scene. Sadistically so I thought.
So now I'm trying to rewind my mind and think back to some of your clever turns of phrase, which I always enjoy.
"He watches Ale and Ric chatting across the room and sheds a wee tear. Ric the Brick has hung in there with Ale. But, yep, she's still a will-o'-the-wisping—or is it fickling--along."
I am perhaps not as tired of Ale as others, but I do find her parents increasingly tiresome. Paula's lines are always the same, as are doting Daddy's. Ale's their adored child and they just want her to be happy, yada yada yada. Okay. We get it. I'm sure she will be some day. Next!
And yes, the bloom is off the rose with Victoria and Roberto. So he's not into marriage but just wants Vicky to go with her feelings and hop into endless bed with him. Well, he doesn't really know her if he thinks that approach will work. But I did chuckle when you described them as
"roasting the couch".
They certainly were. Surprised it didn't burst into flames.
Thanks Kat for the schedule update. Looks pretty grim. I'm watching Corazón que Miente because the evening offerings just seem vile and depressing...for me anyway.
And thanks Jardinera for consistently turning out great recaps in spite of a very busy work schedule. And that "Next!" was for you m'dear and in memory of our good friend Carlos.

Olivia's bridal gown was perfect for her, if a little old-fashioned. I suspect Fernanda will have something similar when the time comes.
The friends-with-benefits thing doesn't work for Victoria, at least not in a colleague environment. That's why a number of US corporations have "no fraternization" rules. We know that Roberto is the way he is because he was abandoned by his mother when he was a small child, so he needs a good talk with his father and a good shrink. We have yet to hear Victoria's backstory.

Thanks Jardinera, you certainly got a doosie of an episode. I'm just glad that it's over tonight.
Thanks Kat/5ft for the list. Not sure I want to jump into Bella but it is in the best time slot.
Thanks JudyB, for the "Next!" I immediately thought of our Carlos. I also use "Nopis" all the time, another of his gems.

Jardinera this episode was bitter and
Sweet. Your recap hit all the notes.
The wedding was sweet. The murder was
Bitter.
Durantes wanted all the Vega lawyers
Dead. I thought they'd hit the church
Wedding. Nothing more bitter than a wedding gown with blood all over it.
But I guess they'll go after them one by one. They really need to be careful
I kinda thought they'd get isa & luis,
I just thought Luis would survive.Sad.
Hey I was watchin that court case when
They started showing the tape of Benny
Taking the dirty money, what was that
Thing some body put under the desk?Did
Y'all see that? And then the look the
Judge and Carlos gave each other after
The case was over. Is he Really gonna help Benny or no? Shadey people.
I noticed Juan is shorty shorter than
His future bride. I noticed it early on. They're still cute together.
I wonder if we'll see Melina again.
Gus is a single guy now, To soon? Yeah Yeah.
Gotta get the bad guys first.
That was a lovely wedding gown oli had
On. She was actually a happy bride and
Leo was a very Happy groom. They and letty dodged the bullets.
Carlos is still a crook, Hes still up
In crookedness with El ciego. I hope he never gets ally. But she may not get rick either cuz the competition has arrived.
Disgraceful from "wine of love" or vino al more. Whatever, more mayhem on
The horizon. Maybe she can get with Carlos. Cuz I still want to see ally &
The brick together.
Alan is a very cold blooded heartless souless creature. He murdered this woman for no other reason than to get
Carlos out of the way. Who's next or
Not? Cuz he clearly don't have what it takes to be a lawyer. Without Carlos he's got nothin. He is pretty much a useless human being. Takin up space.
Thanks Jardinera654

Great part 2, Jardinera.
My TV broadcast ended with Isabela. Very disturbing the way the camera stayed on her body pounded by so many bullets.
I can see ale wanting to spend time being solo. But how about going all the way and moving out & getting her own place? Mom & dad mean well but she gets way too much little princess treatment.
Since Alonso told Sonia he needs a penalista to replace leo I do believe she's a criminal lawyer. Those loco pants tells me she's a maverick.

Sofia's hair isn't particularly neat, either. If I were a judge I'd be sending her home to change.
Fernanda isn't that much taller than Juan; she's wearing serious FM stilettos. Without those he is a little taller than she is.
You're right; the wedding would have been the best place, unless the intent is to knock them off one by one with Alonso being the last one standing.

I dont blame Vicky for not giving into Rob.
He say it's not about feelings,he just
Sees Vicky as a conquest. Those other
Women give into him cuz they can't resist. Vicky can give him a nibble &
Send him on His way. He can't seem to
Understand that cuz he is hotstuff on a griddle. "It's not about thinking, it's about feeling" he says. I don't suppose he means feelings of the heart
Stick to your guns Vicky,cuz when he's
Done feelin you he'll just go fine somebody else till he can get back to her. And she better make sure he wears 3 Condemns. Better safe than sorry. Or
Just wait until he puts a ring on it.

I love, love, love the recap, and today's comments are superfine, too -- hope we are able to keep the patio open a little longer to wrap up.
Hopeful! Looking forward to watching part 2 with my mother. We enjoy watching a novella with an excellent plot and cast of actors! Please let us know when it resumes!
