Por Amar Sin Ley, Season 2 Jueves 4/18/19, Episode 27: No Options


Violeta told Victoria about her husband's actions. Victoria told her that this was obviously intentional and that she would help her.

Paula came into Alejandra's office and was told that Gilberto would be returning to Mexico and Alejandra would meet with him. He would be paying the debts and revising Paula's contract. Alejandra said she will feel better after this is all done. Alicia said she was sorry for the misunderstanding. However, the nervous way in which she said it is a red flag.

Victoria asked Violeta how her marriage had been. She told her it had been normal. She loved her husband and their daughter. Their daughter was six years old and she and Andres had been married for almost seven years. They had gotten on well. This was incsistent with Andres' actions; neither could understand this. Victoria said she would go to see him and get to the truth. Violeta was worried about Sol, her daughter. She gave Victoria her address so she could get to work.

El Ciego and his accomplices talked about El Gringo and the club owner. El Chivo said he heard that El Gringo was in bad shape and the bar owner was alive. El Ciego wanted confirmation on this.

Alejandra talked to opposing counsel regarding her paternity case. Ricardo came in to tell her that the apartment was ready to move into.

El Cuevo updated his boss that he had not been able to get the names of the cops but he did find out that there was a female lawyer whose father had been kidnapped and that the two of them worked at the same firm. El Ciego said they knew what was to come next. He picked up his pistol and demonstrated. Alejandra is now their target.

Victoria arrived at the Camacho house to find him holding Sol and playing along with her fairytale imagination, telling her she was a princess. The maid escorted Victoria in and Andres told her she could go. She thanked him. Victoria introduced herself and said she needed to talk to him. He asked for a moment during which he sent Sol to her room. When he was sure she was out of earshot and that the maid had left he looked at Victoria who told him that his wife was in the women's prison charged with stealing his car. “Do you realize how much damage this is causing? Why did you do this to your wife?” she asked. He said she had no idea what problems were in his marriage and that he had no other choice.

Carlos told Alan to invite everyone important in the legal community to celebrate their new offices. He took the folder and said he would speak to Marta right away. As he got up Carlos told him “One more thing: Invite the entire Vega firm.” Alan was surprised. He told Carlos he should only invite Jaime and Alejandra because now was not the time to get into another duel with Ricardo. Carlos didn't listen; he was out to prove Mine Is Bigger Than Yours.

Andres told Victoria the same lies he told the district attorney. That he and Violeta argued all the time, that it kept getting worse, and that he decided they needed to get divorced. That when he told her that she became violent, forcibly took the car, and threw him out into the street. He had no other option. Victoria said that even if all this is true it wasn't adequate reason for an arrest. While watching her face he backed up and said “You're right; perhaps I exaggerate. But I was desperate.”

She got him to admit that this was a radical action. She started guilt-tripping him over having done this to the mother of his child. He told her she was completely right. He said he didn't want to hurt her but that he didn't want her to take everything he had. She said that they could go before a judge to negotiate alimony or settlement, that there should not be such pressure. He conceded. “Besides, I was under the impression that things were good between you. You need to come down to settle these things.” She said he needed to come down to the women's prison before this went before a judge. He finally said he would meet her there at noon to settle the matter. She suggested they drive there together to get there faster and he agreed. He shook her hand and thanked her for opening his eyes. He saw her to the door. [The music was quite ominous here.]

El Chivo was trying to get home. He saw a man who looked like he was keeping an eye on things. He later came back to their current hideout and told El Ciego that he had been followed and the guy knew where he lived. They were not sure whom he worked for. El Ciego decided to check on their weapons.

Roberto came home to find his father's red tie draped over the lock below the door handle. He laughed and said to himself “He's serious!” He ended up sitting down in the hallway until a blonde exited the apartment while still trying to close the back of her dress. She was followed by a long-haired brunette. Both were more age-appropriate for him than for Nicolas, who came out behind her and watched her exit. When she was going he asked whether Roberto had spent much time in the hall. Beefore he could answer Nicolas told him to come inside. Roberto expressed concern about his father overtaxing himself with not one but two younger women. “You could be a grandfather!” Nicolas told him not to worry and almost danced out of the room. Roberto shook his head and laughed quietly.

Alejandra and Ricardo went home to their new place, which was almost fully furnished. He surprised her by taking out the garter he had retrieved from her aborted wedding and said he knew it would bring him luck. They kissed and the situation took its natural path from there.

The following morning Conchita, the Camachos' maid, could not persuade Sol to eat her breakfast. She told her boss, who told her not to worry; he would take care of it. Conchita left the kitchen. Sol told her father she wanted to see her mother. He told her that she was working. She said she missed her mother. He said he missed her, too, and when she finished working she would come back. He told her he had a surprise for her. They were going on a vacation. She liked that, but asked about her mother. He told her that as soon as she finished work she would be with them. Then he picked up the fork to feed her.

Alejandra and Ricardo were getting ready to leave for work. Alejandra had a court date and she was a little concerned, but Ricardo was sure she would do well. They left for work after their first night of living together.

Roberto was dressed for work but Nicolas was still in his silk pyjamas ...and he had a hangover. Roberto handed him a cold bottle of beer which he immediately applied to the side of his head. He talked about getting a better pillow and then drank the beer. Roberto told him to relax and call him if he needed anything.

Sofia had to tell her clients that the fire wasn't an accident and that they needed to find out who actually had set it. She told them they needed to be patient because this would take time.

Tatiana called Juan to whine about not getting the job she interviewed for because she had no experience. He told her she had to keep trying, that she had no idea it was so difficult finding other work. She didn't want to go back to dancing and she had so many bills. [You already know this but...] Juan offered to help her. She told him No, he'd already done too much for her. He insisted and she went on about what a good person he was..... [sorry, I was getting sick]. She asked when she could see him and he told her he had a lot of work to do. She gave a fake apology for intruding on his time, etc., and he told her not to talk that way. He said to keep trying and he would help in ways he could. She kissed the phone, saying “You're a darling, Juan” although he had probably ended the call. She looked very pleased.

Sofia's clients were quite ajitated and she did her best to calm them down. She told them they would find the criminals.

Victoria went to the Camacho house to find Conchita there alone. When she asked for her boss and his daughter she was told they went on vacation. She thanked Conchita and stood out in the street with folded arms and a justifiable bad mood.
Sofia went to Javier's office to talk about the situation. He had a minor update and she went off to discuss the situation with the DA.

Alejandra was in court with Claudio Vidal in the paternity case. Opposing cousel wanted to question him and he was sworn in. The fist question was how long the relationship had been and he answered that it had been for three years. He asked whether he knew she had been married and whether she wanted a divorce. He answered Yes and She didn't believe she could leave him. Alejandra objected to this line of questioning as irrelevant and opposing counsel said that it was relevant because the woman wasn't getting a divorce and that he had lied to her about having had a vasectomy. Claudio stood up and said this was not true. Opposing counsel said that she was prepared to make this statement under oath. Further, his client had acted in good faith, incurring the expenses of her pregnancy and birth and claiming legal responsibility for the baby. Note that Gabriela held her husband's hand through this.

Alejandra stated that opposing counsel's points were irrelevant as they were there to determine the baby's paternity. Her client had good reason to suspect the child was his and he had every right to know and take his legal responsibility. She asked to present the test results. Simon (the cuckolded husband) got to his feet, but his wife pulled him back, telling him to calm down. He stared at Alejandra – or the judge – with the smug expression he'd shown before. The expert witness read the result, which showed 98-99% match between the baby and Claudio Vidal. Simon got to his feet, saying the baby was his; he had given the child his name. The doctor then said that this proved blood kinship between the baby and Sr. Vidal. Alejandra had no further questions and the defense had none. The witness left the chair and defense counsel pointed out that his client had the child registered as his and covered all the relevant expenses. Alejandra said that her client was prepared to pay those bills. Defense counsel asked the judge to consider what was best for the child, claiming that Sr Vidal was a man of lesser means than his client. Alejandra said that children are about more than money. A child needs attention, care, and love. Her client was prepared to provide those things and be a father.

Victoria went straight to Adrián's office and said she needed his help. She told him about the case and that she had believed Andres Camacho when he agreed to go to the women's prison and drop all the charges. Victoria felt like a prize fool for believing him. Now they would have to find him before being able to get her client out of jail. Adrián told her he would help.

The judge decided in Claudio's favor. Custody of the baby would stay with his mother and a schedule of vistation would be made. Court was adjourned. Before anyone else left the courtroom Simon approached Alejandra and threatened that his client would never see the child. Alejandra told him not to make anything of this because he was within his rights. Simon's stance was threatening and Alejandra reminded him that things would get very ugly because there were witnesses. His wife held him back as best she could and when he got free he went back in and said that all this will do is confuse the child. Alejandra carefully explained that it was in all the child's best interest to have his natural father in his life and to help take care of him. Simon was clearly reluctant to leave, but allowed Gabriela to directed him out of the courtroom. The courtroom then began emptying and Claudio thanked Alejandra.

Adrián told Victoria that a man who could deceive his own wife could decieve her and she was not to blame herself. She was angry that they missed the only chance to get her client out of jail. They could not prove the deception. They sat down and talked about it. Victoria said they needed a witness so she would need to talk to Violeta to determine who that would be. Her attitude changed during these thoughts and Adrián said he liked seeing her that way, looking for solutions. She asked him to come with her to see Violeta. They talked about this as they passed Roberto in the corridor, virtually ignoring him.

Roberto didn't like what he saw. He went straight to Juan's office and asked if he knew what Victoria was working on. Juan did not know and Roberto vented. He could not understand why Victoria had gone to Adrián for advice when she had always come to him. Then he changed the subject and asked Juan what he was doing later and Juan answered that he was spending the evening with his girlfriend. Roberto then realized that for once he was the Odd Man Out, between a junior colleague and a widowed father whose love lives were better than his. “But, you always did well with women,” Juan said to him. Roberto corrected him, “No, not all,” before leaving his office.

Victoria introduced Violeta to Adrián and told her everything in detail. Violeta said that none of it was true and her mother was there and saw everything. Adrián told her that it was important for her to tell them everything. Victoria told her that they believed her. He had lied to her. She explained the whole thing and Violeta became even more upset upon hearing that he had taken the child and run.

Oh, do I have things to say about this!

Andres most likely knew that his absence would make things exponentially more difficult for Violeta. They need to check airlines and his credit and debit card activity to locate him. The slime. I'm betting that Conchita will be a good witness.

I am wondering whether Simon was sterile and pushed his wife into get knocked up so there would be a baby to inherit his assets or for him to get an inheritance fro some older relative with antiquated attitudes. His wife looked like she was in cahoots with him on that. I wonder how he actually treats her and why she stayed in the relationship with Claudio for three years. As to the two actors, they definitely made up the husband to look considerably wealthier and a bit older (The hair doesn't shine, so the color is faked; the darker suit). I don't like the haircut on Claudio.

Carlos is an idiot for wanting to spend so much dinero on a party when he isn't bringing in more than he is.

Finally, Juan is about to become an idiot about Tatiana. I actually had hopes for him.
 

Oh, do I have things to agree with you about it all. Thanks, Urban. It was a very interesting episode.

I still don't understand how the two women, Violeta and Aurora could end up in prison so fast, to await their sentencing (or excuse for a trial), when all the police have is a sworn statement by the Andres. Maybe that's why Mexican attorneys have to do their own investigations.

I think Andres had everything ready to go--if they did come to investigate and interview Sol, she might have a different story--she wouldn't be there. And yes, I also thought Conchita would be a good witness, unless she values her job more.

Carlos is an idiot, agree. Loved your allusion to his being bigger than theirs--of course I know you meant the firm!

Of course Juan is going to be an idiot over Tatiana. Who knows, maybe she's a better match for him than bland, computer-savvy, Fer, who is sweet, just like Juan's mother.

Oh, oh, Ale doesn't have a clue she now has a target on her back. Tonight will tell (maybe) if El Ciego's aim is swift and sure or whether he has a real blind spot. Well, she can't die, she has to solve Paula's problem and finish unpacking for a long-term stay with Rick.
 

Thanks, Urban.

Poor Vicky. Duped by Andres. Any guy that would put the mother of his young child behind bars over a car can't be trusted. Hope he's not leaving the country.

Well we knew it was only a matter of time before El Ciego would target Ale. Why oh why don't she and the police detective realize there's no secrecy in his department. Just dumb.

The only good thing about the Juan-Tatiana thing is that Juan's girlfriend will take no crap. She'll dump him quick if he slips.
 

Thanks Urban. Strange, strange cases in this one. Can't imagine a husband sitting by while his wife has an affair for three years and then happily pays all the costs, medical and emotional (a baby in the house is a total disruption no matter how much you love it)and welcomes unfaithful lady back into his arms. Makes no sense at all.

And throwing a granny and wife in the penitentiary on a weak stolen car charge is also weird.

Also, while I'm being a kvetch, did anybody think the two sisters in the antro fire case were overacting. Lord! I've never seem so much scenery chewing in my life! Loved the dad's wild white hair though.

And yegods, Roberto's dad!!!!! What kind of medication is he on?...Triple strength Viagra!? I did enjoy seeing Robbie squat out in the hallway for a few hours while Papa did a Mission Impossible number with two broads.

Whew...now that I've vented...thank you so much UA. You come through day after day, week after week. Recapper Supreme. Muchas gracias.
 





When the cat’s away, the mouse will....poor Astrid on her cruise not knowing grandpa is having threesomes! Don’t think Astrid would be a willing partner. Does anyone know where Kirby is these days.? He would most certainly be woofing ....
 

Good questions all.

I've also been wondering whether Nicolas has been popping the little blue pills. I'm trying to remember what his health problem was last season.

Tatiana would not be good for Juan's career. Fernanda is a little unsophisticated but I think she can learn. And she definitely won't take any crap.
 

Wow Urban, the lawyerin bidness in this episode is jumpin.

That Andres guy is really a curious one. His wifey has an an affair for three Years, get knocked up, has the child, is forgiven by hubby. And was
Unusaully calm in the court room. Who-
Ever you are above that said he had the doctor go snipsnip on his joystick
And he couldn't have youngins no more,
Probly set this up for her to get knocked up was probly right. They did
Not count on the 3rd party not being a
Deadbeat daddy. He. Wants. His. Child.
Hey, here's a thought---adoption. The
Wife looked defeated,"honey this didnt
Work let's call it a day". O well.

What that guy did to his wife has made Vicky not trust men even more. And if
Adrian thinks he'll have a in with her
He better have another thought. She'll
Be friends but nothing else. She kept
Robby at arms length, and the first misunderstanding that pops up all she sees is those two guys that broke her
Heart. And thats why she wont trust a
Man with her heart. Well This is a tn.
We all know she'll end up with robby in the end. Maybe.

Thanks Urban. Now y'all have a nice Easter weekend.

Kirby, you there? I hope you're ok!
 

Carlos is just sad :-(
 

Adrian is driving me crazy. Almost more than Carlos!!

I'm enjoying the progress of Juan and didn't realize Víctor García was such a talented singer with a nice voice.

https://youtu.be/ebLfCXlKY04

I'm so surprised sometimes because it seems as if so many Mexican actors are also talented singers. I remember being surprised that Chantal Andere was a powerful singer. And who would have guessed about Kika Edgar??

Are American daytime actors talented singers in general like Mexican???
