Tu bebé esta muerta
Part 1 of 3

The doctor told Lucia that the baby was premature and needed to be in the NICU. A nurse entered the room to tell him that the ambulance arrived to transfer the infant to the hospital with the appropriate facilities. Lucia allowed them to take the baby.

Isaura made Rafael see that if he keeps Lucía's daughter he will always have Fernando's shadow. She told him she needed his decision about next steps ASAP.

Leonardo decided to finally call Casilda after seeing that there were a zillion messages from her. Alejandra was peeved at this and he said “Priorities, priorities.” How charming.

Casilda cried when Isaura came into her room, asking the usual question in this situation. Isaura was less than sympathetic, telling her that she had to stop crying and listen to her. She would have her baby and Leonardo if she did as she will be told.

Rafael paid to make Lucía believe that her baby died. The accomplices include the nurse who took the baby from the delivery room, the ambulance personnel, and a doctor [I don't think he was the doctor in the delivery room]. He told Rafael that the baby's lungs had not yet fully developed and that the baby would need to be in an incubator. Isaura was in on this. She kissed up to Rafael who said that he was capable of doing anything to have Lucia. He went off alone as the ambulance drove away.

Lic. Andreu visited Fernando in the prison infirmary. He asked Fernando what he has heard about Lucia but Fernando did not want to talk about this. As to the case he was doing his best but was being blocked on every side by people in power. This needed money and influence, but that was lacking. [One had to wonder whether the correction officer at the desk was also corrupt.]

Leonardo and Alejandra visited Casilda and wanted to see the baby. Isaura talked about the baby being pretty as she led Leonardo to Casilda's bedside. Alejandra told Isaura to get some rest while she visited with Casilda and the baby, but Casilda protested that Isaura knew everything about the baby and she wanted her to stay. Alejandra and Leonardo looked a little confused at this.

Rafael entered the hospital and Toña thanked him for paying for the ambulance. She asked how Lucia was and he paused before saying “You have to be strong.” Lucia was then heard saying “No, no!” and Rafael excused himself and headed in that direction. He paid off another accomplice named Fabian, then entered an office where the corrupt nurse handed him the death certificate. He handed over a laptop case full of cash.

Toña called Alejandra to tell her that the baby had died a few hours after birth. Isaura was in the room with her when she got the call.

Rafael informed Lucía that her baby died, she became hysterical. He yelled for a nurse to bring a sedative.

Paulina visited Diego at his office; they had not spoken in a while. Business had been going well for him, but his love life was in the crapper. She told him that Fernando's life had taken an about face and Diego tried walking out on this, blaming this on Fernando's own mistakes. She didn't let him get away.

Tu bebé esta muerta
Part 2 of 3

Alejandra and Isaura arrived at the hospital and Rafael told them that a nurse was with Lucia and had given her a sedative. She didn't want to see anyone else. Alejandra did not accept this and ordered him to step aside. Isaura put on a show of grief for Toña's benefit.

Lucia opened her eyes when she heard Alejandra's voice. She was not happy to see her, telling her “You won. You didn't want me to have a baby with Fernando.” Alejandra denied this, saying that all she wanted was for Lucia not to suffer. She cried as Lucia accused her of loving no one and ordering her to leave. Isaura entered as she left and faked sympathy.

Rafael asked Alejandra what she was doing there. She replied that she had the right to know what happened with her daughter. He tried to pull rank, but Alejandra swore to Rafael that he will regret taking Lucia away from her. When Pilar arrived after having been told by Isaura she told her the same. She left the hospital not understanding what happened.

Pilar went to see Casilda to congratulate her on her baby. She wanted to see her but Casilda told her that the baby was in an incubator and that she wanted to go out for some air. Pilar went to the nursery and found Leonardo looking into it at Lucia's baby. She congratulated him and he talked about the baby's future needs. He also expressed concern that Casilda was not connecting with the baby. He thought this odd. Pilar said that maybe Casilda's maternal instinct will come gradually. Casilda watched through another window and may have heard this conversation.

Alejandra visited Fernando in the prison, which he thought odd. She told him she did not believe he had killed Roxana and assured him that she will help him get out of jail.

Rafael went to see Heriberto to rub his nose in the news that he was going to see Lucia next and that he was the only person she trusted at that moment. Heriberto guessed that Rafael benefited from the death of Lucia's baby. They segued to some vague comments about future business and Rafael said that Lucia wanted her daughter buried next to Jacobo and asked if that would be a problem. Heriberto said it would not. “I will do anything to help this poor girl,” he said. [Cue all viewers cringing.]

Fernando commented on the irony of the situation. Alejandra finally told him that Lucia's baby died shortly after birth. He flashed back to Lucia's last visit when she was trying to tell him about being pregnant. He began to cry. He later talked to Marta to ask why nobody ever told him only to find out that she didn't know that Lucia was pregnant. Lucia had disappeared and Marta had been unable to reach her. Fernando blamed himself for this and told her he did this to protect Lucia. Further, that he was going to get out. She warned him not to build up false hope.

Toña tried to get Lucia to eat, but she would not. Rafael arrived and got her to leave him alone with Lucia. He started by telling Lucia that he had no experience of this but that he thought he would go mad if this happened to him. She said that was how she felt. He then told her that he had seen to the burial of the baby in San Jacinto next to her father. She cried, saying that she hoped her daughter would be happy with him.

Tu bebé esta muerta
Part 3 of 3

Stupid Michelle went back to Alfredo who got up from bed saying he had to go out. She was not pleased and got on his case, accusing him of not wanting to be with her. He made another nasty remark about her selling cakes. Same old, same old and he won another round.

A few days later the corrupt physician released Casilda and the baby, saying that the baby exceeded her prognosis. Casilda asked “But what if something happens?” Isaura tried to tell her not to worry. Leonardo arrived and when Isaura tried to hand the baby to Casilda she refused, telling Isaura it would be better if Leonardo took her. Isaura handed the infant to him, explaining how to support her head, and he took the baby from her while Isaura said she would take care of the suitcase. Casilda was not even dressed.

When they arrived at Leonardo's place he told her they needed to go to the cemetery to support Lucia. Casilda refused, saying she didn't want to deal with death. Isaura told him this was likely to be PPD which was very common. He left the room and Isaura warned Casilda that if she didn't clean up her act she would end up losing Leonardo and everything else. In the end she handed the baby to her and left to go to the service. Casilda ugly-cried.

Lucia said her last goodbye to the daughter whom she thought had been buried. Toña, Isaura, Pilar, Gabino, and Rafael were there with her. Alejandra watched from the back seat of her car. Rafael offered to take her home (or wherever) but Lucia did not want to leave yet.

Paulina visited Fernando and encouraged him to focus on the future and the business they wanted to start. She promised she would never abandon him.

Lucia apologized to her daughter for not being strong enough, then said that she would change. She would become strong and hard so that no one could hurt her again. Everyone who had ever hurt her would pay, including Fernando.

Alfredo had the gall to go to Alejandra's place; Isaura could not prevent him entering. He told her she was about to make a serious error getting a killer out of prison. She dismissed Isaura and told Alfredo off, saying he had some nerve saying this after the pain he had caused Lucia. “Why don't you take care of your girlfriend? You could lose her.” She then told him that Michelle had come to her once seeking employment. His jaw dropped.

Lucia visited Rafael to ask him to be her ally so she can take revenge on all those who have hurt her, in exchange, she is willing to be with him. He accepted this.
 

"MUJER DE NADIE" Episode #34:

UA: I see we're now heading to the Stupid Phase of Idioticy.

Lucia, Lucia, Lucia ugh: WTH ? You're making a deal with the Devil's Spawn Rafael ?

Casilda: You're complicit too!

Steve Boudreaux
 

Mujer de Nadie

Steve, ITA with your whole comment. We really are in the Stupid Phase of Idioticy.

So now Lucía wants to take "revenge" on Fer? Why? And why on earth would she choose RAFAEL, of all people, to be her accomplice? And why would she start a relationship with someone right after her baby "died"? And Michelle went back to Alfredo? UGHHHH! So many stupid things that make me want to scream.

On a scale of Fernando to Michelle, how annoying is this telenovela starting to get?
 

Mujer #34

We are now 11 episodes away from the end. Anything can happen now.

Lucia's behavior can be attributed at least in part to Rafael's ability to take advantage of her grief which compounds Alejandra's attempt at making Lucia as unfeeling as she herself usually is. Add in Isaura's sympathy act and you have Lucia's current issues. We can only hope that Rafael is dealt with before she recovers from the pregnancy.

Michelle is easily manipulated because of her insecurities and Alfredo has had lots of practice.
 

Mexicana

Sometimes I have to feel sorry for Andrea; everything keeps going wrong. Of course, she set herself up for failure very early. Or, actually, the telenovela writers did, more fun this way.

Sebastián is a jerk, I don't know how many times I've said this. In fact, I need an abbreviation, I'm too lazy to keep typing "Sebastián is a jerk", so now it's "Siaj!"
I wish Diego would just get over the guy instead of staying with him for a bit after his accident.

I don't understand how don Jaime is so poor all of a sudden.

Marcia is all upset about what René has done with Luis, but this should be settled fairly quickly.

Tyler wants Gonzalo to tell him about their father. Did Andrea prep her crew at all?

Andy
 

"MEXICANA":

Andy: It won't be long before Tyler figures out he's being scammed.

Steve Boudreaux
 

Mujer

Urban, thank you for every horrible twist and turn. I can barely watch as these awful villains manipulate the lives of both Fernando and Lucia for their own financial vain ( dreadful , greedy Isaura) or to have Lucia ( Rafe, Heri, Alfredo..ugh.

I cannot stand to listen to puppetmaster Isaura's grating, shrill, gravely voice As she fakes concern and love for Lucia. By comparison , she makes Ale look like a good guy . I hope Ale is able to help Fernando get out of jail ( how ??) The only other person who could help Fernando is Paulina, and she is ill. And I am hoping for an enormous anvil for Awful, heartless, calculating Isaura.

We have jumped a couple sharks with Lucia turning to scheming, smarny Rafael . I guess her true love for Fernando was not true if she accepts all these lies Rafe has been telling her. The storyline of telling Lucia tbat her baby has died is hurtful for anyone who has actually lost a baby which is a traumatic experience . This scenario will lush Casilde over the edge . Does she realize this baby is Lucia's daughter that Isaura has brought her ? How can she allow this considering how good Lucia has always been to her ?


 

Mujer #34

I don't think anyone told her that she was given Lucia's baby. Isaura knows that Casilda is somewhat unpredictable so she would never have told her this. I hope there isn't enough if a time jump for anyone who knows them to notice that the baby looks like Lucia because that would mean that Lucia would have to do the nasty with Rafael.

One thing that Isaura would predict is a very outraged reaction at the kidnapping of Lucia's baby. However Casilda is far from being in her right mind at this time, so who knows? Since they were in the same hospital I find it shocking that neither knew this.

What is obvious is that Leonardo and Alejandra are in the dark about this. Isaura knew that Leonardo did not want anything to do with Casilda and this would have given him an out. He could have easily married her for her future fortune but didn't. There could be the beginnings of a conscience in him.

There definitely is in Alejandra. I am beginning to think that she will die saving someone's life. Right now she is the most likely to end Rafael's. Unless this producer pulls a bait and switch on us.
 

Mexicana

Steve, It won't be long before Tyler figures out he's being scammed.

He may already know, Steve, that's one of the mysteries in this novela. I have been thinking lately that he does know, but there are a few things that argue against it.

If he doesn't know, he must be the most gullible man on the planet   :-)

Andy
 

It seems that the only hope that Fernando has of getting out of jail are Ale, Paulina who has confessed her love from him , and Diego whom Rafe asked to lie and say that Rafe and Diego were together when Roxy was killed . His lawyer has been shown as a competent and good guy .

I cannot believe that this story will have to be wrapped up quickly with so few episodes left.

Will Casilde put the pieces together and figure out that the baby Isaura handed over to her is Lucia' s ? Anyone who lies to a mother that her newborn has died is truly amoral and evil .I hope karma treats her in the same horrendous way. She has become as despicable as Rafael and Heri. This storyline crosses a boundary .
 

Mexicana

I had left a comment yesterday afternoon with a few thoughts. not sure if you saw it Andy or SpanProf so am repeating it here:

"Sofía certainly looks yummy, but she just as certainly has a harsh side. Quite harsh". OMG Andy, she was truly frightening in the airport scene. And in front of her daughter??? I thought there was a slight possibility she and Mario might make up but...but after she threw the rings in his face and after the LOTR throwing of the rings into the fire, that doesn't seem likely. Of course, his sleeping with Gladys didn't help.

I didn't understand what happened at the restaurant, thank you for explaining that. Katya has a lot of growing up to do.

"A happy Gladys scores! Mario, he's not that happy" made me smile. Mario did seem miserable, rolling the suitcase out right afterward wasn't terribly romantic. Gladys can do better. Ignacio seems to be an odd match for Sofia, but I really like him. I wondered why he rebuffed her, now I understand. I do like how lovely he treats her daughter.

Dona Maty and Maty went at it! I wouldn't discount Maty!!

Every time I see Gonzalo, I like him less and less".

To last night, Andy, loved "Siaj!." That accident was horrific and Diego is lucky to be alive, let alone walking.

It appeared the doctor gave Gonzalo good news about Helena? Not sure why he went in her place, was she afraid and asked him to go instead?

I can't remember if it was last night Gonzalo got caught snooping or not. He has such a great family and he continue to chase what he will never have.

I am not too worried about Luis. I think he will show up in one piece.

Diana
 

Susanlynn, have ever seen Yo Compro Esa Mujer? In the prologue a woman gives birth to a son that is taken away immediately. She was told he was born dead and locked up on a family property for about 25 years and she went mad. Over the top, but the villains were Alma Muriel and Enrique Rocha.
 

Urban , no I have never see that tn.

Isaura has sunk to a new low . Losing a baby is a terrible shock because you are expecting life and instead are dealt a death. It can cause the mother to fall into deep depression if she doesn't have love and support from the father and loving fami!y and friends. It was unbelievably cruel of Isaura to do this to her own step daughter . It will be hard for me to keep watching , but I need to see her punishment for this horrible act.
 

Mexicana

Diana, you are right, I missed one of your comments, shame on me.

Nacho has a problem with sex, he's always finishing before his partner really gets going. Sebastián has referred him to a urologist. Paulina heard him make the referral and thought it was for himself, Sebastián. So this is why he won't give me a chance, she thinks. Then she believes he is in love with Katya. Almost every possibility in the world, but never does she consider that he might be gay.

Andy
 

Mexicana

Thank you Andy for all the information and wry wit.

After tonight's episode, Paulina believes she has even more reason to suspect Katya and Sebastian are a couple!

It seemed Andrea trying to keep her "cast" of actors together is turning into a full time job. Her eyes nearly popped out after seeing Maty! I am not sure what she said to Mario and Gladys but she has not had a good day.

And the bathtub scene with Gonzalo and Andrea didn't make me laugh, but feel very uncomfotable. Gonzalo does nothing to make me smile.

The dialog is way above me and I'm catching very little so I'm having to go on actions and facial expressions. Boni has expensive (and good) taste in autos but have a feeling he won't be purchasing anything soon.

Ignacio learns something new.

Diana
 

"MUJER DE NADIE":

Susanlynn: Buckle up bevause we're going to into the STUPID & Incompetent Stage of this Telenovela.
More winning by the villains UGH.

Mujer #35

Gracias, Weirdo.

I must say Rafael has excellent taste in jewelry; that emerald and diamond necklace was gorgeous. I wonder if it came from this website.

In contrast, the fashions on the Paris catwalk were awful.

At last we finally see the infamous red dress, but it doesn't look quite the same as in the title sequence. Heribreto should have had a coronary right on the spot.

Fernando was in prison for almost a year and a half. If it's been six months since the births of the two babies Lucia would have recovered physically and thus probably has done the nasty with Rafael, who at least isn't abusing her physically.

Which I think Alfredo is doing to Michelle. Not allowing her to visit her mother when her brother returned home is evidence of that.

The question now is who will find out what Isaura did?


 

"MUJER DE NADIE" Episode #35:

UA: I see Gullible Lucia went to France with Crazy Rafael & had a good time.

Weirdo: Not shocked Jackass Diego tells Carlos that Claudia was a prostitute.

I wonder how long before Paulina tells Fernando that she has terminal cancer.

Steve Boudreaux
 

"MUJER DE NADIE" Episode #35:

Weirdo: Going to feel sad when Paulina eventually passes away from terminal cancer.

Steve Boudreaux
 

Mujer

Weirdo, thank you for providing the bullet points. Wow, things are moving fast. I couldn't believe it when I saw Fernando walk out of jail and into Ale's car. Wow Ale came through for him .

What did Diego say to Fernando that made him go BSC when he visited him in prison ? Did he tell him that he lied and went along with giving Rafe an alibi? Does Fernando know that Rafe told Lucia that Roxy was pregnant with Fernando's baby ?

You used to be advised to wait 6 weeks after delivering a baby in US. I don't think Rafe would be put off longer than that unless he is playing the long game , has really fallen in love with Lucia, or is satisfied having her as a trophy to show off in public.

That conversation between Isaura and Ale was fierce . Who knew Isaura would turn out to be worse than Ale.!! I don't think either will survive . Ale, however, seems to truly love Lucia . She helped Fernando get out of prison, and she visited what she thought was her granddaughters grave. Issues has just gotten worse and worse in her greedy, unscrupulous manipulations.

Poor , damaged Casilde is on the edge . I am sure that she will eventually reveal the truth about the baby to Lucia.

Heri and Gert are disgusting .

Michelle..idiot...do not care about her and smarmy Alfredo.
 

Mujer de Nadie

Susanlynn, ITA about Ale and Isaura. There's absolutely NO WAY Isaura will be redeemed. Ale has chances.

I didn't watch the episode, so I can't answer your question about Diego. Diego has a Ph.D. in enraging people, so I don't doubt that he said something annoying. Ugh.
 

"MUJER DE NADIE" Episode #35:

Weirdo: Strongly confident that both Isaura & Alejandra will NOT be among the living in all likelihood.

I also do NOT see Michelle, Carlos or Diego getting their Karma anvils.

Hello, all I just wanted to check in. I have been reading sporadically and I saw your comments the other day Weirdo and Urban. Thank you for your kind thoughts. Things did not go better than we hoped, unfortunately, or I don't know maybe if you look at it from the perspective that mom is no longer suffering than things did indeed work out for the better? Shrug, it's hard for me to believe that but my sister is a nurse and she says death from liver cancer can be very long and painful so perhaps it's a blessing that mom didn't have to suffer longer. The doctor's told us less than a year ago she had about 2 years max, and told us right before I left for California that it would be a month or two max, in reality she lived less than 4 days after I got there and she wasn't even conscious for most of it. She was awake and alert most of the day of my arrival right up until the time I got there and for about 20 mins after my arrival - then she mostly slept until her death. I feel like she was waiting to see me and my siblings agree; wish is nice I supposed but I so would have liked to experience that whole day with her alive and well.

My mom was a wonderful and loving person. Nothing like the mothers we see so often in these novelas, lol! There were no arguments over who gets what because really no one cares, none of us really want anything except our MOM and we can no longer have her.....She lived with her 91 year old mother - my grandma - who thought she was going to live out her golden years with my mother at her side after losing her husband about 6 years ago, and now she is facing the rest of her life alone. She's not actually alone, she's surrounded by my siblings and my cousin who will take care of her but I know she feels alone and scared. Actually I can't even imagine how she must feel....

Until last October I never once thought of losing my mom. It's weird, I suppose; but like I said her mother is 91 and I always envisioned myself lived with my mother someday, like she did with hers. I'm not married and never really pictured myself married so it was easy to imagine. My mother was only 69 years old and she was always healthy until the cancer, no major health concerns, issues, or episodes. Heck, I can't remember her ever being in the hospital for anything other than pregnancy in her entire life prior to this horrible illness. No amount of time would have been long enough, but now she's gone and for the most part it doesn't even feel real yet. It feels like she's at the store or just gone somewhere, but not dead. I suppose the harsh reality will just become more and more real as time goes on.

Anyway, I just wanted to check in and thank everyone for their thoughts, prayers and support. I am back home now. I just got home late Wednesday.

I haven't kept up with viewing Mujer but based on reading your recaps this recap Princess, Weirdo, and Urban it looks like it took a hard left at loony and just kept going. I am not ready to come back to recapping yet, maybe in a few weeks, but Mujer will be over by then it looks like. I may catch up with viewing La Herencia (I'm not as far behind) and be able to join the patio again at least in comments for now.

Dear Darcy...

My heart breaks for you. For your family.

I am sure your mother was waiting for you, and after seeing your face and feeling your loving presence, was comforted in her mind and soul and able to release from this life and begin her journey into the next.

As difficult as her loss is, at least her physical suffering has eneded.

Your pain will linger as you have much to process and the absence of her in your life will be long felt. Losing my mother was the worst day of my life and I still miss her, all these years later. I can tell you the pain does lessen in time.

May the memories you created and the love you shared help sustain you in your grief and may God comfort you all.

We have all missed you dear one. When you are ready to return, we will be waiting for you with open arms and hearts.

Diana
 

OT....((((Darcy))))....I am so, so sorry for your loss . Losing a loved one is heartbreakingly traumatic . Your world seems to turn upside down.

I started watching telenovelas about 15 years ago after my mother died . She lived to be 90 . Tbe telenovelas offered a little respite from reality of loss.

I lost the love of my life, my soulmate suddenly and without warning three years and 10 months ago. I am grateful that he was happy , loving, and loved by many, and then gone...no suffering . Since then , three of our good friends have passed away , and now my best friend since junior high has cancer . Grief is the price we pay for love .

You are a good daughter . Your mother was blessed to have loving children unlike the characters in our novelas. Those left behind have to find a way to pick up the pieces and keep living because that is what our loved ones want us to do. And just because someone we love is gone doesn't mean our relationship With him or her has to end . Love is stronger than death. Life has to end , but love doesn't. Love remains .

We have missed you . You have become a wonderful part of the patio. I escape here everyday. Perhaps the patio can offer you a bit of an espcape , too.

" To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die." Navajo saying
 

Darcy, I am so sorry to hear about your mother’s passing. Take good care of yourself.
 

OT

Darcy, I am so sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine what you're going through. It must be a nightmare. At least she passed away peacefully and didn't suffer a lot.

Your comment made me cry, amiga. And I'm not a sensitive/sentimental person. I cry very rarely and almost never at written or filmed material.

As Susanlynn said, our love for the people who have passed never ends. I'm certain that if there's life after death, your mom is watching you and your relatives. If there's not, I'm certain she died being proud of you and happy that she had such a caring daughter.

They say that time heals all wounds. I hope yours and your family's deep wound heals fast. I can't even begin to imagine how your grandmother feels...

I missed your top quality recaps and great, smart comments. You are an important addition to any patio. I hope I see you on the La Madrastra patio in the Univisión page, or in the La Mujer de mi Vida patio in the Telemundo page whenever these ones start.

Again, I miss you, Darcy. Mental health is very important, so take your time. I'll send good vibes to you and your family.

Darcy, I am very sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. This is a hurt that really stings. Hang in there.

Best regards,

We miss you, Darcy, and our condolences on your loss.

You have been a good daughter and she waited for you. Please take it easy and relax.
 

OT

Dearest Darcy,

My sincerest condolences to you and your family. Losing my mother was the greatest pain I have ever suffered, but I agree that time heals all wounds...though the scar remains and covers the pain. After 13 years, I still miss my mom. My consolation ever since that day was the thought that my mom would now be with me in spirit at all times.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May God bring you comfort in knowing that your mom is resting peacefully in His arms.


 

OT

Very sorry to hear about your mother, Darcy. My deepest condolences.
We miss your voice on the patio but take all the time you need.

Darcy --- I'm so sorry to learn that your mother has passed. I'm sending you (((HUGS))) and prayers.

Darcy, my deepest sympathy. I can feel through all your writings the loving family your mother fostered. Sending prayers for your comfort.
 

Mexicana. I just got back from a week's vacation and am finally caught up on the episodes I missed. A few comments: Marcia is so good and kind to everyone! Andrea keeps undermining Erika in a creepy way. Nacho is right that Sebastian is hiding something serious, but he's wrong about what it is. I'm willing to bet that Sebastian will come up with a "convincing" story about why he's in bed with Diego and Nacho will believe it. Helena is a truly worthwhile person. Rene and Andrea do look like delinquents, especially Rene.
 

Mexicana. Andy, doesn't don Salvatore have a garage full of antique cars? I would think that might help him out of his economi predicament.
 

Mexicana

Welcome back SpanProf! I hope you had a wonderful time on your trip.

"Andrea keeps undermining Erika in a creepy way" was exactly right! I am conflicted about Andrea but I'm cutting her a bit more slack than Rene and especially Gonzalo

I also think Seb will come up with some harebrained explanation. I really like Nacho but he seems a bit well, gullible :) Umm, sort of like Tyler...

Diana
 

Mexicana

"Andy, doesn't don Salvatore have a garage full of antique cars?" As far as I know, yes, so I'm puzzled by this new lack of funds. We'll have to see.
