Caray, Caray!

Papas #29. Part 1

Melina is looking at a couple of baby pictures. One is Lila, I’m assuming the other one was Emi because abuela was mentioned.

Paulina is accusing Tino and Aide of losing Lila. They said she chose to leave.
Melina is listening.

Scarlet feels bad that Emi has left. She feels it’s their fault, she doesn’t want to lose another sibling. She breaks up with Íker and he.’s ok with it, as long as she’s happy.

Sabrina tells Poncho they’re going to live with Cheno and form a family. Poncho doesn’t want that and tells them bye.

Nazario tells the twins he’s going to be their manager. They mention Silvana, he calls her a witch, she’s very bad and they need to forget her.

Paulina is still fighting and threatening Tino and Aide. She tells them the next time she sees them she’ll have news of Lila. They don’t understand how she’ll find her when they can’t.

Bill and Emi enter their hotel room, Emi is excited. Bill says tomorrow they’ll go to the places he went as a boy. Emi asks if Ronnie was with him. He says always, and has tears. Emi doesn’t want him to cry but he says they’re tears of happiness. Then Emi asks how he now’s Paulina, Bill says that’s for another time.

Circe is at the club apologizing to Valerio. He says he’s been distant to her. They start to dance and he thinks she’s looking at someone, he says Checo. She denies it. He ends up apologizing..She goes to the bathroom and he pulls out his drugs. He looks like he’s putting the powder in her drink.

Tino and Aide are looking at pictures of Emi. Tino is worried that Emi will stay with Bill. They don’t really know him, his life and his values. Aide thinks he’s a good man and Paulina is the dangerous one. They fear Paulina will find Lila and turn her against them.

Melina is showing the picture of Lila to Paulina. Her abuela had written on the back that she doesn’t understand why she left. Paulina wants Melina to help her because she’s in the house and can find out things.

Circe is pretty high, Valerio is excited until Circe starts to feel bad. He says the wife of the PR can’t vomit there and pulls her away. Checo starts to follow but the boss stops him, he should be taking photos of the guests. Checo says he is, and is putting them on social media. He seems very worried about
Circe. Valerio has taken Circe to a room, he tells her they’ re in a safe place. He undresses and gets on top of her. She tells him no and goes to the bathroom..He pulls out the bottle he used and reads it.

Bill is telling Emi about starting his business. Along the way he met Paulina. They were friends at first. He then married but lost his wife and son(to be)in an accident. He felt he’d never be a dad but life had other plans. Emi apologizes for the way he acted the other day.

Circe wakes up with a horrible headache. She wakes Valerio, who is very unsympathetic. He tells her to go back to sleep. She thinks she was drugged. It happened once but she feels worse this time. But she wants to get breakfast.

Pancho doesn’t want to move in with Cheno. He’d prefer to go to his uncle’s. Serena points out he’s a minor and her responsibility. He agrees to go with her.

Valerio and Circe are now at their house looking for something for breakfast. Valerio wants avacado toast. Aide comes in and suggests that now that he’s working he can contribute money for the household. He’s supposed to be working and paying rent while Circe is in school. He doesn’t think he should be paying for all the family. Tino comes in and says he’ll respect them. He says he was joking. Aide had noticed Circe wasn’t well.

Cheno tells his family Serena and Poncho are going to live with them. Chachito is the only excited one. Chofis is texting URI. Checo says to value her. Cheno is talking room sharing. Chofis keeps her own room.

Papas #29 part 2

Tino and
Aidé are at the computer. They can’t believe Lila has no social media. They have to find her before Paulina. Melina comes in to get something for a client. When she leaves Tino suggests they ask her help. Aide says no.

At the studio Nazario is talking about the kids being famous. The rest don’t agree and leave to go shopping. Gibron tells the kids they were great. Natalie asks Pipe if what her dad said about Silvana is true. Pipe says no.

Everyone helps get Serena’s stuff from her apartment..Chofis gives Poncho a pep talk, ending with the school is close.

Aide thinks they should send a message to Lila through social media. She may have hidden herself from them but maybe sooner or later she’ll read the message.

Nazario is criticizing the kids sings. Gibron tells them not to listen to him. Prisma is nervous about starting at Maximax, Nazario doesn’t look happy.

Emi is back, Bill doesn’t stay, but Aide mentions a meeting. Emi is too tired to talk about his trip, tomorrow he will. Tino thinks he’s not tired but annoyed with him.

Cheno and family are toasting. Chofis is the only one that doesn’t look happy. All the boys will sleep together. Sabrina says she’ll start supper. Chofis wants to help. Cheno tells Poncho he’s serious about is mom and will be there for him, not to replace his dad but to have someone to talk to.

Circe tries to get Valerio up to clean. He’s not moving. She tells him she’s taking his jacket because it’s cold.

Aide tells Melina she doesn’t think this wonderful client of hers exists. Melina tells her she’ll be surprised when she finds out who it is…Tino wonders if something happened with Melina. Aide tells him no, and this is the problem, nothing’s happening.

Hernan tells Gisela he has a great opportunity but he needs capital. It will be a real success. Gisela doesn’t offer him money-yet.

Prisma is greatful or the opportunity to work at Maximax. Nazario thought she would give him a hand but they have something else in mind. Suddenly the guy who works for them tells them a policeman is here. He is there about the disappearance of Lila. They deny she’s disappeared. If she had they’d be looking for her. Then Paulina bursts in and accusing them of hiding Lila.

Gibron is talking to Clara Luz about Nazario. He senses Clara Luz doesn’t like him. He asks about the four of them being parents and she explains. She wonders if he’s interested in the twins or Nazario. He tells her Nazario but he’s not ready to explain why yet.

Nazario doesn’t like Prisma talking all the time. No one must know she’s behind his designs. Also don’t ruin the plan to get the twins. She doesn’t seem to understand, but I’m sure MeLina will figure it out! Once again she’s at the door.

Paulina is sure her daughter needs her and Tino and Aide have done something. The policeman suggests they need a lawyer,

Hernan is telling Fisela how much money investors in his plan would make. She hears shouting and runs out.

Rudolf is looking for Clara Luz when a delivery man is at the door with flowers for Clara Luz. Rudolf opens they card, a sweet message, signed Gibron. Clara Luz arrives home and Rudolf accuses her of cheating.

Circe is telling her girlfriend that Valerio doesn’t meet her physical or emotional needs. But she wants to save the marriage. Her friend doesn’t think she should, it’s just her pride hanging on to the marriage. She reaches into the jacket and finds the bottle Valerio used in her drink.

Paulina is accusing Tino and Aide, they say she deserted Lila twice. Suddenly Lila walks in and tells the detective she’s Lila and obviously has not disappeared

PAPAS

Liz, thank you for your exceptional recap.

I had a very hard time following things tonight so your explanations were extremely helpful.

Melina is omnipresent and that is very worrisome. She has her eyes and ears on every important conversation and no one seems to be all the wiser. I can only think she is the reason Lila has miraculously appeared. Am I right?

Valerio should not only be kicked to the curb, but he should be brought up on charges. Circe will likely realize what happened and hopefully set out to rectify her huge mistake. I can see Tino tearing Valerio to pieces if he finds out.

Nazario is just a vile human being. If he takes out that mustache comb one more time, I'm going to lose it. Prisma seems afraid of him and cringes when he touches her. I'm frustrated he is riling Rudolf up by making it seem Gibron is making a play for Clara Luz.

I like Bill and it seems he has a genuine affection for Emi who could certainly use a friend now. Hopefully, Tino will lose his jealousy...

So where has Lila been? Hopefully we will find out.

MONTEVERDE #20 Part 1

Carolina gives Oscar a loving, lingering kiss as she tells him they have no future together. More kissing ensues as she softly says “Oscar” and then walks out the door.

Lucia and Franco are having a heartfelt talk; she cries because she is in love with him. “Franco por favor” she pleads. Julieta enters, silently listening, taking it all in. Franco tells Lucia he’s sorry but she is too late. Crushed, she wishes him the best with all of her heart. She leaves heartbroken as Julieta leaves undetected, Franco in heartbroken agony.

Carolina and Andres are saying goodbye to the women as Father Gabriel hustles them out.

Angelina and Gloria are having breakfast as Juan David arrives. Angelina was worried about you Gloria chirps a bit accusatorily. Angelina gets him out of the room and asks where he went! Mi tio’s he answers and apologizes. Their talk is interrupted by Gloria’s braying. Angelina kisses him, he seems only slightly mollified.

Nestor greets Oscar telling him he knows Eva is back in town. She means nothing to Franco Oscar says. Did he say she left him for another man? Nestor dodges a bullet and strides away.

Lucia tells Rosalia things did not work out; Rosalia says she is sorry and Lucia cries, taking her leave.

Julieta and Franco are in the car and she brings up Lucia; she wants the truth. She needn’t have bothered. What she saw made Julieta understand the situation perfectly. She tells Franco she wants to take the trip. Solo. She turns up the music so Franco won’t argue.

Angelina and Juan David seem to continue being the loving couple they are, despite Gloria.

Andres rushes to Sister Celeste’s arms. Father Gabriel seems a bit overwhelmed. With Andres distracted by a food vendor, Father Gabriel tells Celeste Carolina has something important to tell her. “Carolina what is it” Celeste asks. Carolina admits she fell in love with someone in Monteverde. Oscar Leon. Celeste’s eyes are as big as saucers as she stares incredulously.

Eva introduces herself to Doctor Rosalia. She hands her a bottle of pills and Rosalie gives her an injection of some sort. Nestor walks in (no knocking or patient privacy, no Patient’s Bill of Rights here!). Eva seems charmed by Rosalia and (unbelievably) Nestor pipes up saying Rosalia is his daughter! For once, Rosalia is speechless as she whips her head around to look at him!

“Oscar Leon?” Celeste asks Carolina, eyebrows arched. Carolina tries to defend herself…Celeste goes on a long speech I couldn’t follow but mentions the lawyer is working on the case and something about fraud. There is a flashback of Carolina when she and Carlos were married where she found a fax on the table, then calling Carlos, telling him that it came.

Eva is surprised that Nestor has a daughter. She congratulates him; Rosalia smiles. Nestor then asks Eva to come for dinner that night, (completely disregarding her telling him they are over). After she leaves, Rosalia calls him on it. She and her father argue and he asks her to please come to his house for the dinner. She agrees.

Father Gabriel takes off with Andres. Later Celeste asks Carolina what happened. She says she found Oscar frustrating at first; then things changed over time. Her smile gives her heart away; she is smiling and clearly pining for him. Celeste is not terribly supportive. She doesn’t want any problems.

Angelina and Juan David go off on their picnic. Gloria seems sad…

Diana
 

MONTEVERDE #20 Part 2

Julieta and Franco are at the bus stop. In the end, it seems she did the right thing by bowing out rather gracefully (a bit late but…) He tells Julieta he is sorry and they hug each other. She kisses him, takes her bag and strides away as he waves. He looks conflicted.

Eva walks outside of her and Oscar’s old house. Oscar comes up asking why she is there. She mentions Franco and he shuts her down screaming at her to leave, which she does without argument.

Carolina comes out in civilian clothes wearing a cute black and white striped shirt. Father Gabriel and Andres say goodbye and Carolina gives the good Father a hug. Celeste hugs her sister and Celeste and Father Gabriel are off.

Lucia is riding her bike down the road as a car honks at her. It is Franco! What are you doing here she asks. In answer he picks her up, literally sweeping her off her feet. They kiss passionately; he is obviously profoundly in love with her. I love you with all of my heart he affirms. He holds her hand; will you be my novia he asks? Yes, she answers and is luminous as more ardent kisses follow.

Juan David enjoys his sammie until he finds out Gloria made it. Angelina is feeling amorous and starts kissing her husband until…oh no. Is it? Could it be? Yes, unbidden interloper Gloria calls out, she has come to join them. Juan David has a look between indignation and disbelief. Angelina welcomes her mother.

Carolina and Andres are at the bus stop; She hugs her son and they pinky swear.

Celeste, who seems kind but made of stern stuff and Father Gabriel chat in the car.

Oscar enters his old house; everything is covered in sheets. He starts removing them and throws all of the bric a brac on the tables, in boxes and on the mantle into a trash bag. He finds pictures of him, Eva and Franco and rips them to shreds. He shows up at the Padre’s where Eva opens the door. He throws the bags down as she stares, startled.

Lucas and Rosalia meet up with Franco and Lucia, delighted their friends reconciled. Pizza is suggested but Rosalia and Lucas have other plans – dinner at her father’s!

Back “home”, Doris comes out and asks how everything is; a taken aback Celeste says fine as the good padre smooths things over. Juanita comes out and spirits Celeste inside.

(Why the usually smart and savvy Rosalia invited Lucas, Franco’s best friend to accompany her to the dinner is confounding. But it is done). “Buenos noches” Rosalia says when they arrive. She explains she brought her novio Lucas, who looks unhappy and extremely uncomfortable. Eva arrives bringing baked goods. Rosalia introduces Lucas who looks like he’d rather be anywhere else. Nestor tells Eva she is hermosa; she sort of purses her lips and walks away.

Juanita and Celeste talk as there is a knock on the window! It is Father Gabriel and I have to smile.

At dinner, Lucas stares stonily. When Eva questions him, he reveals that Franco and he live together at the ranch. “He is my good friend” Lucas says, staring at Nestor, openly baiting him. Nestor’s eyes flash and Eva looks uncomfortable. Nestor lets Rosalia know he isn’t happy.

Moises tells Oscar he misses Andres. Oscar cheers him up.

Lucas and Rosalia leave; Eva likes Rosalia but mentions Lucas’ attitude. Nestor says it’s because of Oscar. Rosalia is extremely upset and scolds Lucas for his attitude (again, she should never have invited him). A surprised Lucas tries to talk to her and makes the mistake of grabbing her arm. A furious Rosalia pulls her arm away and tells him to leave her alone!

Another excellent episode full of surprises. The biggest for me was Julieta bowing out. I didn’t think she would. The hour flew…Jarifa, I am hoping you can kindly fill in the pieces of conversation that were over my head.

Diana
 

MONTEVERDE Extras parte 1

Thank you, Diana.

Gloria takes over the conversation and informs Juan David that he that the least he least he could have done was to have left THEM a note. Angelina thought he had abandoned THEM. What explanation does she have for THEM? Juan David explains to his wife that he had to get out of there because of her mother's snoring. Gloria says she will get some ear plugs for him. He thinks Gloria should do something about her snoring. Angelina says her mother insists she doesn't snore. Suddenly, Gloria cannot find the sugar and teh conversation is over.

Néstor tells Oscar to not allow Eva's presence bother him. That is not so easy for Oscar because she ruined his life. She never let on that there was something wrong. Then out of nowhere she told him that she was going because she had fallen in love with another man. Is he supposed to welcome her with open arms? Néstor answers definitely "no" but after so many years, she shouldn't affect him like she does.

Julieta tells Franco that she knew she had lost the battle when Lucía showed up at the wedding . He has never looked at her the way he looks at Lucía. It hurts her to the bottom of her heart but she is grateful for his honesty. She asks for a lift to Zacatillo.

Rosalía injects Eva with the last dose of something. She charges her nothing.

Carolina blames it all on the good father saying if he hadn't insisted that she teach Moisés none of this would ever had happened. He is outraged. Celeste tells her sister she went too far this time. Celeste has arranged for Carolina and Andrés to stay at a convent in Chiapa de Corso until her legal problem is solved. . Carolina comments how very far away it is. Her sister is sorry but that was all she could find. She also spoke to the lawyer who found out there is another person involved in the fraud: a Rafael Narváez. Carolina does not know him. The money used as a down payment for the purchasers of the apartments was transferred to an account belonging to the Faxo Corporation whose fiscal residence is in the Cayman Islands. Carlos told her that Faxo was a customer's company. Celeste says he lied to her. Carolina realizes now that Carlos had it all planned out.

Carolina is not happy that Andrés will be cooped up in a convent. Maybe they could stay in a small town in the area. Celeste says there is no money for that and that Carolina has to accept her situation. The important thing is that she and Andrés will be together. Celeste says the lawyer thinks her case can be resolved soon and then she can go back to her reality.

Rosalía tells her father that she overheard him the night before telling Manuel that he and Eva had been lovers. He asks her not to tell anyone. It happened long ago and should stay in the past. She asks if that is why he invited Eva over for supper. He makes it clear that he invited BOTH of them so they could get to know each other better.

Celeste demands to know if there was anything more than talking about their love that happened between Carolina and Oscar. Carolina has to admit they kissed each other. Carolina says in spite of that, she is sure there will be no problems. She talked with Oscar and told him that it couldn't happen again.

Julieta asks Néstor if he loves Lucía. He never answers the question but apologizes to Julieta for hurting her. He never expected Lucía to return and turn it all upside down. They wish each other happiness, kiss and leave.

Celeste gives Carolina directions to the convent in Chiapa de Corso. Her contact is Sister Bridget. The good father will keep Carolina in his prayers.

Juan David is worried the sandwiches that Gloria made could be poisoned.
 

MONTEVERDE parte 2

Andrés tells his mother the only thing that matters is that nobody separates them. For that, he would go to the ends of the earth. Carolina promises him they will never be separated.

Celeste apologizes to the good father for the situation with Carolina but when her sister came in need it was the very day the bus was leaving for Monteverde. She could see no other option and is sure that the good father would have done the same to help a brother. He agrees he would have. He warns her that it will not be easy to escape from a flirtatious Oscar León. She assures him she can take care of herself. He tells her what a success Operation Genesis has been.

Oscar returns all that is left of Eva' s belongings he had. He doesn't want to see her again.

The good father will make sure Celeste gets her luggage without it being noticed and he does so via the window.

Lucas says he and Franco are such good friends they are like brothers. One time they liked the same girl but he backed off because he would never betray his best friend and never over a woman. He looks at Néstor and adds "that's a no-no, right?" Néstor is angry with his daughter. He told her not to tell anyone about his relationship with Eva but she must have told Lucas. He wants to talk to her tomorrow.

Rosalía tells Lucas how he ruined the evening for her. He knew how important it was for her. Lucas says that Néstor angers him and she cannot be so naïve. Néstor is only doing all of this to impress Eva. It has nothing to do with her. She says even if that is true, he didn't have to go announcing what they did. Néstor guessed that she had told him everything. She makes her point again that Lucas didn't have to say a thing. He apologizes for getting carried away. She says he betrayed her trust and made her look like a gossip. She won't be forgiving him for that. She doesn't want to see him ever again.
 

"HILOS"
Howdy from the Alamo City, CarayCaray Family.

Jarifa, Diana, UA, Novelera, Darcy, Babachita & Co: Surprised y'all haven't been watching this Telenovela in the closing stretch.

Ramiro went complete NUTS & slapped Romina, then pointed his gun at her, while taunting Carolina & Co., over the phone. Will they rescue Romina in time ?

We'll find out in Friday's Gran Final.
 

MONTEVERDE

Jarifa, thank you for your insightful and marvelous summary. Your detailing was superb; you shone the light on so much.

"Angelina thought he had abandoned THEM" had me smiling away. I didn't realize it was a two for one package deal! Manuel needs to convince Gloria to marry him pronto!

"Rosalía injects Eva with the last dose of something". Hmmm.

Julieta did have some self pride and was glad she ceded in the end. I thought the writers were going to drag the triangle out and was pleasantly surprised this was resolved so quickly.

"He looks at Néstor and adds "that's a no-no, right?" Lucas was exactly right! Did Rosalia really think Lucas was not going to defend his best, life long friend? What did she expect? Further, he was spot on saying "Néstor is only doing all of this to impress Eva. It has nothing to do with her". Nestor went from ice cold to warm and fuzzy inviting her for dinner? Nopis.

That said Nestor is unbelievable. "Néstor tells Oscar to not allow Eva's presence bother him" had me shaking my head. He is shameless, unrepentant and a cheater and liar to boot.

I am grinning anticipating what will happen now that Celeste and Carolina have switched places. This should be fun!

Jarifa, thank you for your valuable time. I savored every single word.

Diana
 

hilos

Watching Tamara’s madness take over is scary. That body must have sent her over the edge.
I hope Romina will survive.

Padre S. is so ready to give up his vows, but up close, Carolina never looks like she reciprocates. I feel sorry for Salvador. But his primary relationship is with his daughter. Manuel still seems in love with his wife. But she seems unable to reciprocate here as well. Carolina needs some counseling. The Padre probably does also.

I hated that Alonso died. I really liked him.

I have enjoyed this tale. The production is more lush than usual. The actors are first rate. I like the music.

I suspect we’ll have some surprises tonight and then it will wind up neatly. We have Tamara and Ramiro who need anvils.

I’m worried about the Padre, though. His is a sad tale with his awful mother forcing him into the priesthood and then hiding the pregnancy. His joy is that he knew his daughter all along and they have a powerful bond.

We’ll know tonight. First, we get the World Cup Drawing in an hour! So exciting.

Babachita
 

MONTEVERDE

Diana, that Néstor sure is something else. I so agree that Rosalía NEVER should have invited Lucas to supper unless she wanted some drama. She also never should have told Lucas what she found out either. Duh! I, also, was pleasantly surprised that Julieta gave up so easily.

Somehow, I cannot see Carolina leaving town. Guess we will get more answers tonight!
 

O/T

Looks like Monteverde is being preempted tonight for the 2 hour finale of Hijos. Im happy that those watching will get to see the last 2 episodes in their entirety.

Thanks Diana.
 

Papas #30. Part1

Two years earlier Lila tells her parents she’s leaving and doesn’t want them to know where she is. The house where she felt secure isn’t that way anymore.
In present day Lila doesn’t want her mother and doesn’t want anyone touching her. Aide says to give her her space. The detective tells Paulina to drop her charge, she wasted their time

Rudolf is mad at Clara Luz when the twins and other parents come in. Clara Luz asks Prisma to come with her. Nazario is his typical self. Meanwhile Gibron is trying to place Nazario in one of the places his dad was.

Lila only came back because of the message she got from Aide. She tells Paulina that she sent her a note, which we saw, telling her she didn’t want anything to do with her. She also tells her parents she’s going, after looking at a picture of the family. Tino asks Lila for at least an address or phone #. She hops in a cab and is gone at Paulina once again threatens Tino and Aide. She’s sure they did something bad to Lila.

Valerio says he’s been looking for a place for them.
Circe wants to know about the small bottle, he says they’re to help him sleep. She tells them misuse can be dangerous.

Checo is looking at his pictures and he calls someone about all the girls being drugged. Then he’s on the computer writing an article.

Aide tells Tino it’s better to leave Lila in peace. Tino doesn’t agree, He leaves and Gisela comes in. She thinks sometimes it’s best to leave your husband. I guess she would know.

Scarlet asks Emi about his trip and says she’ll always be his sister. Bill calls him wanting to go th therapy with him. Emi thinks it’s a waste of time. Bill thinks it will be different now that he’s with him. He agrees when he sees Íker with friends. Then Paulina calls Bill needing to see him soon, it’s urgent.

Aide interacts with Alexander, who thinks she’s sad.

Nazario gets Rudolf all worked up over Gibron, then yells for Prisma that they have to go to Maximax. But je has taped their conversation and Rudolf says he can kill Gibron.

Paulina is telling Bill how horrible Lila was with her. She talks about forming a family them him, Emi and maybe Lila.

Tino is bothered that Emi is going to therapy with
Bill. Emi says he’s convinced him to return to therepy.

The twins wonder why no one is talking. So Rudolf and
Clara
Luz snap at each other some. Gibron calls her she she yells at him for sending flowers and causing trouble.

Emi is at therepy with Tino and Bill. Tino says they already decided to not push him in therepy. Bill thinks it’s important that he goes. Emi sides with Bill. Later Bill invites the whole family to eat with him at a cafeteria. Tino is the only one not for it. But gives in as Emi wants it. Bill wants them all to get to know each other better.

Nazario is telling Prisma how he wants her to do the design. While he gets a text Melina comes in saying how nice they’re working together. The text is about Clara Luz. They seem to be eating with
Bill too.

Íker tells Tino about Scarlet ending it with him. Tino is surprised. Íker doesn’t want to go to the dinner but Melina joins Tino in convincing him he’s part of the family.

Clara Luz tries to talk to Rudolf. He seems to apologize but then she says she’s going to see Gibron the next day and he is angry again. She says this is why she never married him.

Liz


 

Papas #30 part2

All are at Maximax discussing business. Tino is praising Nazario’s work but Melina says something to Prisma that makes me think she knows who’s doing the work. She mentions she’s meeting her famous client.

Hernan and Gisela are talking when Valerio and Circe come in arguing. Sounds like he made other plans in place of the dinner. Gisela tells
Circe she must go with her husband..

Gibron calls Clara Luz, he needs to see her and Rudolf. It’s very important. She says Rudolf won’t want to see him, he says it’s very serious and he didn’t send her flowers. He calls Rudolf, but for some reason Nazario is hanging around. Rudolf refuses to meet him and he says it’s very important and concerns Nazario, be very discreet. Nazario asks what Gibron wanted and Eidolf makes something up.

The grandparents aren’t going, it looks like they have a date! But our lurker knows! Circe is trying to get Valerio to leave the club to get to the dinner. She goes to the bathroom and
Valerio tells his supplier the drug didn’t work. He suggests a higher dose.

Nazario says he forgot something at the office. He tells Prisma to go on. Then he calls Rudolf and says he needs him. Rudolf tries to tell him no, then gives in. Meanwhile Gibron texts him to meet him outside. Melina watches Rudolf leave, I think Nazario was watching Gibron.

They are at the dinner. Aide texts Circe they’re waiting. Circe is really high. But she insists they go to Bill’s dinner.

Nazario is at Maximax, Melina sees him. Oh, he’s there to meet Gibron. Gibron wants Rudolf, but Nazario says he’ll keep him company. Gibron ends up telling him he knows who he is.

The cafeteria is one of Bill’s. Everyone is impressed. Then Valerio shows up alone. He says that Circe fell asleep in a taxi. Tino is almost strangling him.

Nazario pushes Gibron, he falls down. Nazario thinks he’s dead. Melina comes in and tells him to go. He runs, and Gibron starts to get up. Melina hits him over and over again.

Liz

PAPAS

Thank you for your great recap Liz.

Melina is a stone cold killer. So cagey of her to tell Nazario Gibron was dead! She wanted him to think so of course and had no compunction about doing him in herself. I keep saying Iker can't be her son...now, I'm sure he isn't! (fingers crossed).

"Paulina once again threatens Tino and Aide. She’s sure they did something bad to Lila". I'm sure it wasn't Tino and/or Aide but it WAS someone. "The house where she felt secure isn’t that way anymore". Something dire happened to Lila, she is terrified out of her wits.

I felt a bit of pity for Tino as Lila is cutting him out of her life and Bill is crowding him out of Emi's life (not Bill's fault).

I thought Gisela had more taste than being with low class, lying Hernan.

Valerio is totally out of control and is dragging Circe down with him. She needs to leave him and have the marriage annulled.

I'm liking Bill more and more.

Great job Liz!

Diana
