Caray, Caray!

FUGITIVAS #19 Part 1

Nicolas is still being chastised by Ismael for his handling of the Fugitivas case.

Florencia decides to perform her due diligence in checking Lisset’s “references”. She first calls Erick and of course, his summary is glowing! Lorena, sitting right there with him, beams her approval. Next, Flor calls Lorena, who coughs into the phone, telling her (whoever she is supposed to be) is ill but also raves about Lisset. Flor has heard enough and hangs up as Erick and Lorena excitedly celebrate. Florencia comes in and gives the good news to Lisset; Charo is NOT jubilant. 😊

Patricio offers Amanda coffee as Ismael enters the office. Patricio tells him about the Estefania interview. Marta listens outside and then comes in. She isn’t happy at whatever was said.

Someone is in the kitchen with Charo and she isn’t liking it! She tells Lisset they aren’t friends as Lisset loads up the breakfast tray to serve Arturo and Florencia. Arturo meets her and (remarkably) doesn’t bite her head off. Vincente comes to the table and Arturo’s hair stands on end as usual, yelling at him.

The entire staff has gathered in Nicolas’ office. Nicolas offers an apology although somewhat half-heartedly. Everyone files out, Marta last. She talks with Patricio and Ismael about Estefania…Do they want to offer her protection? Enlist her help? Marta and Patricio have another conversation about Estefania later, Marta getting very upset. If anyone can interpret the upshot, kindly share.

Lorena checks on Frida who claims to feel better. Lorena tells her to rest and that she cares about her. The two friends hug murmuring “te quiero mucho”. Lorena admits her love with Ismael is impossible. Frida admits she and Dario kissed as Lorena smiles…But there is the fly in the ointment, Carmen, Frida admits.

Nicolas calls Vero much to her delight.

Charo comes in to complain to Florencia, but she is in a funk. Florencia seems to realize Ismael is delving into Juan Pablo’s death. I believe she tells Charo she wants to tell him the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth (whatever that is).

Lisset pulls back the covers on a bed and Vincente is still in it! She apologizes and he eventually laughs. He goes back to sleep and she takes her mop and bucket and leaves.

FUGITIVAS #19 Part 2

Brenda runs into Alejandro outside; they are cordial and smile at each other. To be honest, he looks smitten. He takes off as she stands there smiling.

Nicolas and Vero have cokes and conversation. He tells her what is going on but what can he do? Ismael is his superior. Vero wants to put in a word to Florencia. Nic seems happy at this and kisses her hand.

Ismael is on the phone with someone; something about mucho dinero.

Vero goes to Florencia right away about Ismael and the Fugitivas! Florencia looks shaken AND stirred.

Cranky Arturo calls Vincente who blows him off, going back to sleep.

Lisset goes into Charo’s room. She sees a phone and just as she is going to pick it up, Charo catches her. She lies, saying she was just going to use the restroom. The phone rings and it’s Arturo. She swats Lisset out of the room and then locks her door behind her as she leaves. Charo goes into Vincente’s room handing him the phone. Arturo starts yelling, Vincente pleads he has a headache. Charo urges him to make nice but Vincente tells his agitated father he will see him in the morning.

Dario comes in to check on Frida (still sitting on the bed with Lorena). Lorena makes a hasty retreat giving Frida a knowing look behind Dario’s back. He sits on the bed quite close to her and he leans forward toward her but then pulls back right before he kisses her. She smiles after he leaves

Brenda and Patricio discuss idiot Nicolas and Estefania, but I was lost as to what was said.

Ismael pays an unexpected visit to Alejandro. He asks if he has seen Lorena. He says if he does see her, to warn her that she needs to be careful as she is in danger! Alejandro looks concerned.

FUGITIVAS #19 Part 3 of 3

Arturo bothers Florencia about her brother. AGAIN. Basta, this is getting tiresome. She complains about Ismael working on the Fugitivas case and especially Lorena Martinez. He later summons Gabriela, trying to enlist her help.

Brenda and Alejandro are on again. She arrives with a bag but the food is set aside as they kiss. She wraps her legs around him as he carries her into the bedroom. We later see afterglow…

Florencia and Ismael are at a restaurant…

Lisset is fiddling with the vacuum (which she’s likely had little experience with). Luckily, Vincente comes in and fixes it. There is a knock on the door, it’s Gabriela! Lisset quickly hides out of sight as they talk. Gabriela tells him his father is worried about him. Vicente is rude and cold to her especially when Lorena is mentioned. I say dump him on the spot!

After Florencia and Ismael part outside the restaurant, Nicolas comes slithering up to Flor. She puts her finger on his lip tantalizingly and then pulls away and gets in her car.

Then, the one really pivotal event of the episode occurs. Lorena and Lisset are on the phone. Lorena flashes back to the day she went to deliver papers to Juan Pablo to sign. She recalls him opening the door (barely dressed). Her eyes alight on a dress crumpled on the floor behind him. It’s a black and white striped dress. All of a sudden, the recognition comes flooding back…it was the exact same dress Florencia gave to Gabriela to wear after the wine mishap! Lorena tersely tells Lisset that it’s Florencia. Florencia was the amante of Juan Pablo!!
