Caray, Caray!

FUGITIVAS #29 Part 1

Ester’s sting is to lure two wealthy women into investing in some sort of product (real or imagined) that she claims is destined to revolutionize the beauty industry! As we rejoin the group at the restaurant, Isadora is excited and happily hands Ester a check, but the other woman, Adelaida, grabs the check out of her hand! She isn’t going to invest because she doesn’t trust (the product, Ester, or both)! They leave the table to discuss…

Dario is quite gentle as he provides Matias with a bit of background as to what happened with his grandmother and grandfather with the outcome of Marta ending up in jail. I believe Dario says it was an accident but Matias again repeats that Marta is an assassin. She is your abuelo Dario pleads. He sits next to his son in the booth and tells him “te amo”. With that, they finish their dessert and at home, he hugs his son.

Adelaida and Isadora continue to argue about the check and when they return to the table, Ester is quietly seething. Montse, quickly and correctly surmises that some not-so-subtle subterfuge is needed. She suddenly speaks up and offers the amount Ester was asking for! She shrugs and declares to the table that this is an excellent opportunity and prepares to write a check. Sensing they are going to be frozen out of the deal, Isadora looks imploringly at her friend. She and Adelaida quietly discuss this turn of events as the fugitivas hold their collective breaths. Ahhh, here’s Frida, pretending to be a waitress. The women hand over the check all smiles, she and her hermana are all in! I believe they want their lawyer to review the contract. Because the contract likely isn’t worth the paper it’s written on, Ester purposely knocks a drink over and hands Frida the check under the table, to deposit ASAP!

Arturo berates Vincente for not calling him and having to find out from his mother he isn’t in Buenos Aires. Where are you Arturo barks? Vincente tells him he is here in Mexico working at a foundation run by his friend’s father. Vincente has already had enough and hangs up.

Matias returns to his room and finds the note and cookies. We hear Marta’s voice as he reads the letter, asking him to forgive her. She loves him with all her heart. He puts them down on his desk and lies down on the bed.

Carmen starts an argument with Dario.

Arturo visits Ismael as he rolls his eyes. He’s concerned about Florencia.

FUGITIVAS #29 Part 2

Frida goes to deposit the check. The cashier’s eyes are wide as saucers when she sees the amount. When she excuses herself, Frida panics, asking if there is a problem.

Alejandro bursts into Ismael’s office unannounced. Nicolas gets rid of Andrea so he can listen at the door. Arturo and Ale immediately start jawing at each other, Alejandro clearly baiting him. He assures him that he is a primary suspect as all of the evidence proving Lorena’s innocence was taken in the break-in of his apartment. After Arturo leaves, Ale talks about Vilchis, who will be able to prove Lorena’s innocence and asks about protection. They shake hands and Ale leaves.

Lisset gets a text from Frida the check has been deposited. Montse, Lisset and Lorena make a hasty retreat waving adios to their new friends. Ester quickly follows suit…

Gabriela enters Flor’s office. She compliments Gabriela for convincing Vicente to stay in town and then tries to pump her about Lorena's relationship with Ismael.

Alejandro calls and gets Vilchis’ sister. He’s not here she barks and as she is being consistent once again, promptly hangs up on him.

The fugitivas all meet up, Ester demanding they kiss the ring as the plan was successful thanks to her.

Nicolas goes to talk to Gabriela when Vero interrupts him by putting her hands around his neck. Nicolas disengages himself and tries to ignore her. Gabriela calls Arturo and Nicolas gains entrance. I’m not sure but I gathered they don’t have Vilchis’ name but know whoever it is, is going to get protection. Arturo is furious. In the middle of this, Florencia walks in not pleased to see Nicolas there. Art tells him to give them a minute. What they said was over my head.

FUGITIVAS #29 Part 3 of 3

The fugitivas return to their room and Marta is there. She is hysterical, equal parts anger and hurt consuming her; she calls them all traitors. Frida tries to ask her to wait so they can explain but she asks them to leave. Calm down Montse says. When Ester intervenes, Marta flies at her screaming she is a vibora telling her grandson she was in jail. They physically fight and have to be separated and Marta pushes Frida away sending her reeling. I’m not interested Martta tells them. Frida then turns her ire at Ester for causing all of this!

Alejandro gets a call and his eyes widen but we are not shown who is on the other end or what was said.

Frida tries to quietly talk to Marta in the kitchen but she isn’t having it. Marta claims her relationship with her grandson is ruined! She cries as Frida takes her in a hug.

Alejandro meets with Vilchis. He asks if it is true he would provide protection; he also asserts Lorena is innocent.

Brenda in on another screaming jag, yelling at Patricio when Isamael walks in.

When the fugitivas confront Ester, it is so obvious she could care less about Marta. Ester then gives Montse a black drawstring bag. Is it supposed to be their shares? Unless I missed something, no one is bothering to take a look!!

Despite trying so hard to grasp the dialogue, much of this was beyond me. I hope what I did write was conveyed correctly…Kindly add or correct anything I missed or got wrong.

Question, who is the mother of Matias? I don't think Carmen is the mother since she's just a relatively new girlfriend of Dario since she had a past before that Frida knew
 

FUGITIVAS

Thanks you, Diana, for your very fine recap. Yes, this was heavy on conversations. ; )

I had some time tonight so here are some of the conversations and, of course, my comments.

It always aggravates me that they focus on the death of the abuser and not on what the abused Marta was suffering trying to protect herself. Uh, if the abuser didn't attack Marta, he wouldn't have ended up falling down the stairs. Matías doesn't like that they lied to him. His father assures him that he is the one that matters the most to him and if that means Marta has to move, so be it. Matías loves her but needs time to process it all.

Vicente tells Arturo he is living with Gabriela.

Carmen is upset that Dario won't tell her what he was talking to Matías about.

Arturo tells wants Ismael to forgive his daughter. Ismael will not talk about his daughter with him.

Arturo thinks Ismael is nuts if he thinks he killed JP. The only certain thing is that Lorena killed JP. The judge found her guilty so he must have had sufficient evidence against her. Alejandro comes in unannounced and tells Ismael and Arturo that he reported to the police a robbery at his apartment last night where various things were taken including Lorena's file. He asks Arturo if he has any idea why anyone would want that file. When Arturo denies any involvement, Alejandro tells Ismael that a few days ago, Arturo had come to his house to threaten him. If he didn't make a public statement apologizing for what he had said against him, Arturo was going to declare war against him and he thinks it has started already. Arturo explodes admitting he did go to see Alejandro but only to ask him to stop defaming him. He sees he is now defaming him calling him a thief. Alejandro smirks and tells him he knows how to handle people like him. Alejandro taunts him telling him to threaten him again. He makes it clear he is going to continue his investigation until he finds out the truth and destroys Arturo once and for all. Arturo sarcastically responds that he is so afraid!!!! and leaves.

Yes, Nicolás did tell Arturo that they were talking about some witness but they didn't have his name. Arturo doesn't get this further investigation when Lorena was found guilty. Arturo doesn't understand why Alejandro is so obsessed with Lorena. Nico smiles a smarmy smile and says that hormones rule!!! Nico admits his relationship with Ismael isn't going very well. Since Ismael are now working closely with Patricio and his daughter, he has been pushed aside and not informed about anything. He asks Arturo to put in a good word for him. Arturo will try since it is good to have somebody like Nico by his side.

Arturo tells Vero about the witness who is gong to be protected. She asks if he has an idea bout who that could be. He says he does. She asks what he is going to do. He will solve the problem like he always does.

Arturo tells Nico he will talk to Ismael about him again but Nico needs to let him know about everything going on at the prosecutor's office. Arturo understands that Nico's immediate boss Salvador Nájera is well-positioned in the upcoming elections. Nico says he and Ismael get along well. Nico reassures him he will let him know what is going on.

Marta has told all the fugitivas all to pack up and get out. Her mind may be changed when she heard from Frida that her fellow fugitivas felt like that had to go along with the scheme because Ester had threatened to turn them all in including Dario and her. In anger, Marta asks why didn't they tell her what was going on from the first place?? Marta is especially hurt that Ester told Matías
she was in jail.

Amanda is furious because the judge won't give them a court order to seize Alejandro's phone. She is sure they will track Lorena down that way. Ismael will talk to the judge. She suggests that Marta help them out. Patricio says no to that.
