Imperio de Mentiras #30: Lies, Lies, And More Damned Lies!


Leonardo is having it out with Elisa over her not telling him about the trip to N.Y. C.  Oh, it was just business as usual.  He's more pissed that she went with Curly Locks, aka Fabulous Fabricio, than that she didn't bother to call and let him know at all.  He was really worried.  Really worried!!  She knew he was in Acapulco and it was only for a really short time so she's there to say hi.  Riiiiiiight.  


At the hospital, Victoria is getting more and more upset because nobody will listen to her complaint that Renata is mentally ill and cannot manage with a baby.  Missing are those unselfish, grandmotherly instincts that say we'll pitch in as a family and take the baby under our wing. Vicki would rather force her daughter to have an abortion.  However, the doctor attending Ren doesn't see the nutty and is emphatic that it's the mother's choice, not Victoria's. If there is some medical reason to prevent it, then pursue it legally through the courts; have her declared legally incapacitated.  Otherwise, talk to the hand cuz this face ain't listenin'.   (Here, here!  A cheer goes up in this part of Abuelaville.)  Eugenio walks up about this time and after the doc leaves he tells Vicki he'll work it out and not to worry.

Back at Fernanda's, Curly Locks wants to know who this little kid is and why Fern spurns him generally and then is caught laying in bed with him.  She refuses to answer fully.  She claims he's her nephew and the son of her long dead sister who she conveniently forgot to ever mention to Fab.  She does admit that her so-called housekeeper is really her mother.  Not just that but Fern's been stressed all these years taking care of the family, so much so that in order to earn such a big keep Augusto forced her to do things....she had to sleep with him for one.  Fab has heard enough and walks out the door.

Over at Adriana's apartment, she's made dinner for two.  Unfortunately for her, Jose Luis is too henpecked to join her.  She tries to seduce him but he's really very uncomfortable with her approach and reminds her they are only friends and colleagues.  He's sorry if he gave her any other impression and even sorrier if he embarassed her this evening.  After all the evenings they ate together and chatted with each other.....He was just needing a shoulder to whine on....  Her answer is well, yes he did and he has embarassed the hell out of her and please get the F... out.  He leaves (and probably wonders if on top of all the other crap ready to fall to pieces around him he's got a pending sexual harassment lawsuit about to crush him).

Back at los Velasco, Elisa has no intention of fighting with Leo all the time, she says.  She's exhausted with all the family trauma and drama to have to listen to him give her the 3rd degree.   She's outta heah.  Leo is forced to give in since he's never been so in love before with any woman as he is with Elisa.  (Yeah, way out of your league, dude.  Once you get hold of the brass ring you'd be a fool to let it go, right?)   He begs her to stay.  "--Forgive me???????"  She has him right where she wants and needs him to be.....They kiss and make up.  He's her knight in shining armor and she's his distressed damsel always in a jam that only he can save her from.  A stitch for every rip as they say down Mexico way......

Once again at the hospital, Ewwy corners Ren's doctor and suggests Realnutty truly needs to be put into a psychiatric hospital because of her mental issues.  The doctor agrees to transfer her.  Vicki later emphasizes to Ewwy that Ren has to abort that child.  The medicines she needs can cause malformations in the fetus, not to mention she tried to throw Momma down the stairs--tried to kill her, actually!  Unfortunately, Ren was the one who ended up losing her balance and took that terrible tumble.  

Next day, it appears that Curly Locks has bought into Fern's hardship tale of woe.  He understands and will be there for her if she needs him.  (What a boyscout!!!)  They hug and make up.  Next topic up for discussion is Renutty's stable condition physically...and whether she'll lose the baby.  But, that's not the real reason he wants to chat.  Nopers.  When they started this plan for him to woo Elisa, he was never told when she talked him into returning from London,  that Elisa and Augusto were involved with the Mafia and stolen art!  Whaaaaa?  It really complicates things for the two of them.  It means everybody at Cantu is liable and that means both of them, in particular.  He's not sure about sticking around and continuing with the original plan.  

Up at the prison, Marcelo gets a taste of prison pecking orders.  He gets beaten up so he understands that he's at the very bottom of said order.  It is  pay to play for Marc.

Meanwhile, Elisa is having coffee with Leo and gets a call from the family telling her that Ren's being transferred to a mental hospital.  She doesn't like the idea.  

While El was away, Don Justino died and Leo's  going to the funeral.  He mentions that he's not cool with Ewwy's "great concern" over the recovering Sonia.  El figures it's simply that he's a gentelman above all.  He'll overlook her bad actions with that two-timing BIL of hers.  Besides, why must Leo always think the worst of people???   Leo's certain there's more there there and he wants to investigate, and besides, that is his job--to think the worst of people and look for the truth.  She has to agree to let him at least do that much, not that she's one bit happy about it.  (Have to admit that part of Viewerville is wondering if these two are really destined to be together.  Talk about your total opposites....) 

Now at the mental hospital, Ren's pychiatrist says the "intervention" is done.  Vicki will never forgive herself, but she knows it was for the best and Ewwy agrees.  

Down at the police station, Mario finally tries to make up with Adriana.  He also admits the tension there is because he's jealous and so in love with her.  If she doesn't feel the same then it's okay, but he can't stand their not being friends as well as partners.  She agrees and accepts his apology.  

After Justino's burial, Leo says a last good-bye to Julia and their unborn child.  

Elisa walks into the dining room and greets a hung over Maria Jose.  She's been drinking her meals recently and Elisa is not only aware, but in total disagreement with Majo's  attitude issues.  Majo does learn from El about Ren's being transferred to the psychiatric hospital. Has she seen Dario?  No, says Majo, and she doesn't plan to, either. (Yeah, tell me another one, Majo.)   FF>>FF>>

At Grupo Cantu, Fern insists nobody at Grupo Cantu is liable for anything except Elisa who's been signing for things left and right from the beginning.  As long as Fab and Fern don't sign off on anything they are safe and on schedule to take the empire over at the point that El is eventually caught.  This is his opportunity to come out smelling like a rose.  Don't ruin it, Dude!

At the psychiatric hospital, Ren realizes she's been moved to someplace new and again she wants answers about her child.  The nurse cannot really say more than ' Let's wait for the doctor.'  Ren explodes; she begins screaming and scratching at the nurse because the nurse cannot answer her about her pregnancy.  Just then her psychiatrist, Dr. Omar,  comes into the room.  She complains to Omar about the nurse giving her a hard time and all she wants to know is about her pregnancy.  She feels pain below donchaknow....  She suddenly throws off the covers and discovers she's been bleeding.  The nurse is sent out for a team to assist.

Across town later that evening, we find that Theresa and Reynaldo are having dinner together.  She complains about how her husband shows her little or no attention.  (Oh woe is me.  This place apparently isn't classy enough to have violins playing.....)  Reynaldo is only too happy to pick up the pieces of her stone-cold broken heart.  He's unhappy also, but he is truly attracted to her and wants to take up where they both left off oh so many eons ago. She has a moment of conscience, but only a moment.   No, it's not right but it is what it is.  They kiss.

Back at the manse, Majo's been ignoring Dario's continual calls.  He finally texts her:  "--Majo, I love you; answer me, Love.  Don't leave me like this."  She calls him and asks what the hell does he want already.  He loves her is the reply.  She cannot stand him anymore is the retort.  He says if she really wants him gone out of her life then come to the hospital.  Click.  One of his goons lays a handgun on the table opposite him and leaves.  

El arrives at the hospital lounge.  She asks Vicki and Ewwy what happened on the stairs.  Vicki says Ren wanted to kill her and fought and it was Ren who ended up falling down the stairs.  Nobody's been allowed to see her yet.  Just then Dr. Omar walks up to them and says Ren's been given tranquilizers and is only able to see one visitor at a time.  Vicki follows Omar into the hallway.  El remarks to Ewwy afterward that she's so sad for her sister.  "--First the business with Marcelo, and now this."  Ewwy answers that there are things we just cannot hope to understand in life. (Now that is really deep, Dude --not!)  Hopefully they'll have some answers soon.  

Vicki sees that Ren's been tied down for having attacked her nurse.   Dr. Omar leaves.  Ren wants to know what's happened to the baby.  She doesn't want anything to do with Mama.  Vicki tries explaining that Ren wanted to kill her and fell down the stairs instead.  Ren then notes the restraints and that she's now a guest in a psychiatric hospital.  "--But I am not crazy!!  I am not crazy!"  (The problem is that the way she's been acting, she is must certainly be out of her everlovin' mind!)  

Majo has decided to visit Dario afterall. (Did we ever doubt it?)  She goes up the stairs unaware that Mario is right behind her.  

Leo, meanwhile, is chatting with Marc and his new defense attorney.  Marc is suspicious.  What's Leo want in return.  Why is the attorney there?  He supposes that he wants Marc to tell him where the rest of the stolen pieces of art are in return for getting him the attorney? (I think)  Leo is surprised he would suggest it.  Marc explains that JL was there the day before interrogating him and asking about the other pieces.  "--He seemed very interested in fact."  Leo suggests that they probably figure that whoever killed Augusto must now be in possession of the rest of the pieces.  Marc says that's really interesting that just yesterday he'd come asking him.

Outside the hospital Vicki and Dr. Omar meet up with El.   Vicki explains Ren attacked a nurse and had to be restrained.  El says she's not leaving till she sees her sister.  The doctor explains Ren had another episode and really shouldn't be further upset.  El wants just a moment or two.  The doctor finally agrees.  Vicki stops her for a second to mention that the baby was lost, but that Ren doesn't know it.  She asks her not to say anthing about that to her sister.  El leaves with Dr. Omar.  Vicki turns to Ewwy and asks him to meet with Omar after Elisa's gone to have him fix the files. (Did I hear that correctly?????)  Her wish is once again his command.

Mario, at the same time is on the phone with Leo reporting back about Majo.  Mario has confirmed with the nurse that Majo is in Dario's hospital room right now.  Leo tells Mario to hold off till he gets there.  This girl's put herself in danger again and he's going to deal with Dario once and for all!! 

Behind the closed door,  Dario asks Majo why she's there.  She says she wants to put an end to his harassing her and her family.  He disagrees.  She's there because she loves him, he insists.  (Mind games.)  He admits to being a naughty boy by taping their lovemaking.  However, he did it because it was the only way to keep her close by.  He is sorry for all the wrong he dun her and her sister.  He's in Luuuuhhv.  He can't undo what he's done.  (Wow, that's comforting.)  Oh, he knows that she feels the same for him as he feels for her.  She sniffles a lot and finally decides to leave.  He rips the wires out of his arms and tries to grab her.  But,  he suddenly stops in lots of pain.  "--Tell me that you don't love me.  Tell me that you do not love me and then just get out.  You'll never ever see me again!!"  Majo looks like she's fighting against the urge to race back over to him.  Suddenly she looks down and sees that he's bleeding profusely.  It is apparent this protected little princesa has never seen anyone bleed profusely before.  Her expression is hmmm....complete stupifaction.

Comments:
Jardinera, thanks, for a very lively recap. I fell asleep watching this last night. I have only one comment: the look of disgust on Fabricio’s face when Fernanda talked about having to sleep with Augusto was really off putting. Fernanda should give him the boot just for that. How could she even deal with him after seeing that look on his face in reaction to her tale of woe?
On we roll!
 

Jardinera, very nice, thank you for a clever, witty recap. I especially liked: 'talk to the hand cuz this face ain't listenin' among a dozen others.

I'd betcha a mouse in the corner would tell a far different tale than the 'tale of woe' that FerNasty sold to an incredulous FabPoodle. Like maybe that nobody forced her into a relationship with Aug, but rather she pursued him, because as we know, she is an evil, immoral witch. I am beginning to soften on Poodle a little, seeing that he is not exactly all in on this scheme. And he only sees the tip of the iceberg. He would have an even more unsavory look on his face if he knew how this job involves murder.

Boy oh boy, have we ever seen El-logic before. I was only gone to NYC for a quick trip with Fabricio, you shouldn't mind, sugar plum. Will next time be like:"I only slept with him once Leo, you brute, and the other night you and I did it three times. Don't be mad." Pout pout pout.....and you're leaving nose prints all over my skirt, quit it!

A bunch of people owe poor J Louis an apology. Wow, no wonder Adriana is single, she knows NOTHING about men. She sure had a bunch of egg on her face. And I felt bad for her, she is not hot even when she tries to be sexy Maybe she COULD give Mario a second look.

Victoria and Ewww are two peas in a pod. Evil murderers. And this one a grandchild? Beyond unforgiveable. This just reinforces my suspicions about Victoria having something to do with Augusto's murder. Poor Renutty has no one on her side. She is just flat helpless. Her two sisters are crazier than her, and Mom Vic is beyond description.

Dario and Majo. How cornfuzing. For them and all of us................
 

For instance, why would JLouis have 'forced' it with Frog Face when he could just wait a few hours and set the sheets on fire with slim trim younger Adriana? Correct, he wouldn't have. Nice try writers. And BTW what does that have to do with any of the other twenty story lines in this show?
 

Jardinera, I applaud you for a recap well-done! So many gems throughout but my absolute favs were:

talk to the hand cuz this face ain't listenin'. AND He's her knight in shining armor and she's his distressed damsel always in a jam that only he can save her from. A stitch for every rip as they say down Mexico way...... Pure perfection!

Jarifa, I think Fer was able to put up with Fab's off putting look because she knew she was getting to him and he was swallowing everything she was spitting out.

Kirby, I could just DITTO your entire comment.

I don't believe a word Fer said! In the first few episodes, when we first met her mother, Fer chastised her for having "forced her" to have a relationship with Augusto. I even have my doubts about that. And again, Fer supposedly had a serious relationship going on with Fab and she NEER mentioned a having a sister. Jardinera's title is perfect--LIES,LIES, AND MORE DAMNED LIES!!

Kirby, ITA that Vic-ious and Ewww are two evil peas in the darkest of pods. What Vic-ious is doing is unimaginable! We expected her to somehow have Ren abort the baby, but with all that bleeding that Ren saw, could the doc have also done something to permanently ensure that Ren never gets pregnant? I shiver just thinking about it!

I also agree that Adriana knows nothing about men, but I have to add that JLuis knows nothing about women either. He continuously seeks her out to cry on her shoulder, spends ALOT of time at her apartment and even SLEEPS there! Come on! It never crossed his mind that she is a WOMAN??? Adriana may not be a bombshell but she's not bad on the eyes either and she certainly doesn't look like a run-of-the-mill "buddy" either.

I'm done with El and Leo's lovesick puppy looks. He's an idiot and she a ditz...well maybe they are made for each other LOL




 

Oh and BTW, Jardinera, you did hear correctly; when El followed the doc to go see Ren, Vic told Ewww that he needed to make sure that the doc "doctored" the file. She wants the file to indicate that the abortion was "natural."
 

"She wants the file to indicate that the abortion was "natural.""

OH? As in she is just so cray cray that Mother Nature ensured that she would not reproduce?

Following that then, if that's the way of nature, the entire US population could comfortably fit in Texas and Florida.
 

Kirby, you're right, I shouldn't have used "natural". What I meant (and it's just my interpretation of what Vic intended) was tha Vic wants the file to show that the baby aborted due to the fall...and not to her request that the baby be intentionally aborted.
 

MEDICOS

Jardinera, you did a superb job with your recap.

"Reynaldo is only too happy to pick up the pieces of her stone-cold broken heart" was pretty perfect.

The hideousness of these story lines was evidenced by the free flow of blood with more to come.

Dario. Sinner, not saint.

Marcelo. Lowest of the low in the jail caste system.

Jarifa, I agree that Fab seemed to regard Fer as something he scraped off his shoe as she spun more of her story which I suspected was peppered with lies.

Adriana is pretty and intelligent. She deserves so much more than panting after a married man. He rejected Adriana's advances but not his wife's pleas of "no" when she clearly told him she not want to have sex with him. Cringe worthy.

"Ren then notes the restraints and that she's now a guest in a psychiatric hospital". My heart went out to her.

"Victoria and Ewww are two peas in a pod. Evil murderers. And this one a grandchild? Beyond unforgiveable". Thanks Kirby. You said it and now I don't need to.

Thank you Jardinera.

Diana

 

First, Medicos? Not. Sigh. Sorry.

One of my comments didn't make the cut and paste which came right after the Marcelo paragraph.

Renata. Having her child taken from her in the cruelest way possible by the person who should have loved, cherished and cared for her and protected the most. Her own mother.

Diana
 

Hi all! Sorry. I just don't understand Dario recording their lovemaking. He did it just so he could feel close to Majo all the time? Naw. Perv territory if you ask me. Also, it was his daddy who sent the nasty thing to throw her off Dario. I do believe that Majo is starting to realize her new Luhhv is exactly that! Perverted and sick! A good lay, but a sicko. Is it just that she's so desperate to have a boyfriend at this point in her young life? She is the one who needs to be seeing Dr. Omar!!

Vicki cannot be redeemed after this IMNSHO, either. Two evil peas in a perverse pod.

Adriana is plain, provincial, and unsophisticated as a female catch. She ain't one. Barefoot, dressed in a drab brown dress that does anything but show off what little bit of femininity she might/must? have. Even pairing the two of them--JL is way over 6 ft. and she's so petite. Why barefoot at dinner? Sheesh!





 

Jardinera, thank you that detailed retelling of all the lies swirling throughout this episode. They surely gave this show the right title because it is full of lying liars who lie. I always love your snappy recaps and your take on things.

I cannot stand any of these people , except Leo , who seems dim for an undercover cop, but his heart is in the right place, and he seems to be very empathetic and protective . Unfortunately, those good qualities have so far been ineffective .

I think that Adriana is much more attractive than JL , who as Kirby noted at the beginning of this sad saga, is a doppelganger for Fidel Castro, who was not what I call good-looking . I thought that She looked cute barefoot in her nighty . She thought so, too, because she was putting the moves on JL...and again....why JL? Mario would even be better.Maybe all these people are all better off single.

So is Fern telling Curly Fab the truth about sleeping with Auggie , but lying about Juanito being her sister's son ? Again ..why? It is getting extremely hard to sort out who is lying to whom and why ? Juanito is Fern 's son, right? But we still don't know his daddy???

I think the problem with the Elisa character is that she doesnt really have much to do or say . Rinse and repeat . She is threatened and goes to NYC without telling Leo. He finds out and is hurt\confused . An undercover cop is all about lying , so Leo should be better at knowing when people lie to him . As a cop, I would also expect him to be less gullible and wishy washy than he is . i think he should be more confident and decisive .
 

Geez....what bloody episode. ..Ren and then Scariodario. Yuck.
 

Susanlynn: You're right about the blood this time! As for Leo? He is thinking with his lower brain........
 

Jardinera...ha....so are all these other dudes ...that is going to get them all in trouble one way or another.
 

This is the most disgusting episode I've seen in a long time.
Jardinera thank you having the stomach to recap it. Very well done by the way.

Victoria needs to be strung up butt
Naked and have hot sauce and garlic
Dumped on her, and then sprayed with horse raddish. What she did to
Her daughter was totally illegal.
And that bathead rugrat that helped her do that should be doused with spicy Honey sauce and mosquitos let loose On him. I can't stomach these two people. What's takin so long to out Them? I dont like fer but just dont know of shes as bad as these 2

Speaking of...she lied through her teeth to poodle boy. That boy could
Very well be his. Does she even have a dead sister? If she did she
Probly murdered her. So they are
Planning on taking over the company
What's she gonna do with roughead?

Poor Mario. A nice guy with bad hair. Hes better than jl. And who
Knows his hair could change if they
Were to get together. But she'll never know she hung up on old guy.
And it's not his hair, hes just a nice guy.

Poor marc, they're gettin ready to
Off him. I wish he would survive but the opening credits says he wont.

Somethings gotta give. Soon.

Leo might very well be better off without elisa. She is so protective
Of tio rug. I'll ne glad when that bubble is burst.

Majo and dario. These two are very
Exhausting. I kinda dont care, and he is bleeding out. Stupid dario.
These people are hopeless.

I feel so sorry for ren. I the only
Person that did drive her nuts is her mother from hell. If she was angry kind of descent person she would have offered to help with her
Grandchild who was healthy in the womb. Was that a botched abortion
Cuz there shouldnt have been all that blood. Fix the files. I hope
The truth comes to light soon. But it probly wont cuz everything else is lagging.

Thank you Jardinera.

 

When I first saw that bloodon Ren's sheets I'm thinking maybe the doc poured that on there to make her think her baby was dead & then tell her her baby wasn't dead just
To make vic-cious think he did. That's evil what she did to her own child. I thinks she hates renata. And why would ren trybto kill her? I think ren knows something about that bitch and she been keepin her doped up for year to keep her quiet. Evil! Evil! Evil!
 

Maybe Ren saw Vic in the bathroom and knows she is a man. And Ren and her sisters are all adopted.

Rug's gonna kill her the night he finds THAT down there. :-)
 

Nina, “ Victoria needs to be strung up butt
Naked and have hot sauce and garlic
Dumped on her, and then sprayed with horse raddish.” That really cracked me up, Thanks for the laugh!
 

Kirby stop being naughty😱Lol😉
 

Kirby you never know he might freakish anyway. The man is a sadist, ain't no tellin what he had sonia doin. Poor woman, she had to go to the gym to stay in Shape.
 

Gracias, Jardinera, Sorry I'm so late.

I also didn't believe a word out of Fernanda's mouth. No mention any time of any sister. She will be the death of somebody at the end.

I was cringing at the sex scene of Teresa and Reynaldo as well as Adriana's humiliation.

Not surprised that Eugenio arranged for the abortion. Based on all of Renata's past behavior, though, she would have to have been tied down for the duration of the pregnancy. Even if sh's off the psych meds now that is no guarantee there wou;d have been nothing wrong with the foestus.
