Monday, 45
So here’s the thing. I’m on vacation now and didn’t get to the show until about half way through. Good news is that I think the first half was mostly about Isabel telling Alberto who she really is because the last half that I did see was the fallout. Or the start of the fallout. So if someone can fill in details for the first part, I’ve recapped the rest below. And doing this on the phone so sorry about any weird spellchecks.
Monday, 45, last half of the show
Isabel, after telling Al she’s his mother, wobbles into he atelier while thinking about their conversation. It didn’t go well and she almost passes out. Blanca comes over to help and Isa says she “told him and he didn’t believe me”. The girls ask about this but Blanca says it’s nothing and she’ll take care of Isabel.
Later, she tells Ana about him taking the truth badly. Blanca, still there, says she has to give him time. It’s hard for him to Isa says Cris also knows and threatened her. Al never wants to see her again and wants her out of Velvet.
Clara comes to see Mateo. He gives her a gift as a peace offering. Clara isnt having it after he believed Barbie over her. He apologizes for his error and when she opens the box, it looks like purple heels, which she rejects so her taste isn’t all bad
Emilio talks to Isa who doesn’t want to leave. She wants to talk to Al again but Emilio knows him and says to give him time to calm down.
Al, meanwhile, orders Ric to bring him Emilio’s head. Or maybe just Emilio but there’s a tone there. After Ric leaves, Al fills Mateo in on the whole “madre” thing.
Monday, 45
Isa and Emilio are still hashing things out and Isa is not doing well. He goes to get water for her pills while she begs god for more time.
Al now confronts Ana while looking for Emilio. He asks if she knew. She says yes and he is not happy with her. He has proof that Isa is a killer and won’t listen to Ana, who tries to defend Isa.
Cris comes to Valeria to tell her about the whole thing. Val is surprised to find out Al’s mom is Isa, who Cris says is dangerous. She’s also worried about the scandal is people find out that Al’s mom is a killer. Which they wouldn’t find out if everyone would quit telling everyone else about it. These people are terrible at secrets.
Carlos, who we hate now, is working when Sara interrupts and tells him she wants nothing more to do with Velvet or the contract. It’s personal and she won’t tell him why. But it’s an order.
Ana fills in Marga and Luisa on the whole “madre” “scandal” and about Isa’s health issues. Carlos calls and seems she forgot to meet him for a date. He tells her it’s fine and to take her time, he lives her, blah blah, but his face says he’s quite annoyed.
Val has gone to Enrique with the “madre” “scandal” and tells him her mom said this worried about this dangerous woman. Enrique is worried about the effect on Velvet, as though New Yorkers would care.
Ric is at Luisa, busy sewing away. Marga and Luisa come in and Ric jokes (sort of jokes) that he’s a better seamstress than Marga. She has to inspect his work and is impressed. He’s good. He’s also a good guy who found someone to help Luisa with her singing career. She has to go somewhere for this and Ric will go with her, but then who will care for Michael? But yay for Marga because she offered to babysit. (Thankfully no Pedro today unless he was around earlier).
45
Isa is still resting when someone knocks on the door. Val and Enrique are standing there looking like grims reaper and demand to know if it’s true. Val is rude and Enrique says they will defend Gloria. (Not sure what this is about- pretty sure Gloria can defend herself). They offer to pay her to leave and threaten her if she goes to the press (because the Times has nothing better to write about).
Alberto is at home talking to Gloria, who is as empathetic as you’d expect. There is a long conversation with these two and I missed it, but in the end, Gloria says Isa had an amante and hurt Ben. She lied about everything, basically, so being her usual self.
Back at Isa’s, Emilio has come in and told the reapers they can’t be there (even though they own the building?)
And were out.

K., here's a bare bones account of what I I recall of the first part of tonight's episode. I see that you've now written a lot more than I'd expected, and so probably much of what I've said just covers the same ground, but I thought I'd post it just in case there's something of use.
Cris comes to see Sara. She warns Sara not to come between Alberto and her or she (Sara) will be sorry. Sara is calm, seems somewhat contemptuous of Cris. Tells her that her fling with Alberto isn't fun anymore.
Rick comes up to Luisa at Velvet and asks her to help him with a customer: Randy Brave. Luisa is stunned, she's a huge fan of Randy Brave. Rick tells her he's here at Velvet, and she should come with Rick to see him. Rick tells Randy that Luisa is a very good singer. He plays a video on his phone of her singing. (I thought the sound on the phone was terrible. She's a much better singer than the video made her seem, but I'm apparently the only one who is unhappy with the video.) Anyway, it turns out that Randy is there with his wife, and Luisa goes with the wife to help her choose some outfits.
Val comes to see Enrique. She's somewhat upset, because she kicked her mother out of the house. No, she didn't have her committed, she sent her off to the Hamptons. Enrique assures Val that in time, she'll realize that she did the right thing.
Carlos comes to see Isabel. He tells her that the doctors have told him her condition is very poor. She really needs to start dialysis at once, and she can no longer work. Carlos wants this meeting to be a secret. I'm not sure why. What's most important is that the smile on Carlos' face disappears as soon as he isn't facing Isabel. I again have the feeling that Carlos is a a weirdo and a fraud, and perhaps dangerous.
Barbie tells Enrique that she'd like the two of them to travel to Italy. When he says he has too much work to do, she says she'll visit her parents in Los Angeles for two weeks, during which time Enrique will take care of the problems at Velvet, and then they'll go to Italy. He says he'll try, but he can't promise.
Ana meets with Carlos. She says someone has told her that he did something (I don't recall what) to someone at his company. She mentions the name Kelly (or perhaps Kitty) Mendez. Carlos says he doesn't know anyone by that name, and he never did anything bad to anyone.
That's about all I can fill in about the first part of the episode. The main thing that happens in the episode is that Isabel tells Alberto that she's his mother, and he doesn't believe her. Much of the rest of the episode deals with how he and others respond to the revelation.
