Caer en Tentación #36, 12/11/17 Lunes: The Waiting Game

Chapter 36: The Waiting Game

Just the facts tonight, dear readers. Almost the entire episode takes place in the present.

Raquel watched Santiago escort Alina inside his home. She did not see that he brought her there to allow her to meet with Bebo with the goal of helping him. She was outside in her car, thinking of how another rejection was a judgement on her value as a woman and a person.
Bebo wanted to find work and Santiago offered to hire him. They went to talk about it, bith Bebo telling Santiago this would be difficult because of differences between him and his father.
Lola looked at Alina, then at her brother. She suspected that something wasn't right.

Caer En Tentacion #35, 12/8/17: Gabriela condemns Christian for her sins, and no amount of rice will fix that phone.


After Christian walks into the apartment with his lover, Gabriela argues with him about cheating on her (the nerve). He tells her that she was doing the same, she denies it and then he says “why are you dressed like that (as she buttons up her coat)?” She calls his lover a “zorra” (derogatory name for a woman that sleeps around) and the “zorra” defends her self. Gabriela tells her to shut up and then walks away leaving Christian and the Zorra in the apartment. Christian suspects that Gabriella was waiting for a man, without realizing that Damian the coward is hiding inside. Christian and his lover leave, and Damian comes out of hiding only to drop Gabriela’s cellphone in the water in order to get rid of the recording Gabriela made of Agustin.
Present time:
Santi goes to Alina’s office to pay for her services; she tells him that she is going to defend him for "free". She has a personal conflict against Ruedas and will gladly go against him for free. And besides if Ruedas is defending the Becker family they must be trying to cover up something dirty. She then says “I suspect they may be partially responsible for Carolina’s death."
Cynthia is in Godoy’s apartment serving him a drink. She is glad he stayed. He tells her that he cheated on Laura; Cynthia says that “we all cheat because we can become attracted to people who are not our partner.” Godoy confesses that he is no good because not only did he cheat on Laura but he is also the reason why she limps.

Caer EnTentacion #34, 12/6/17: Release Or An End To Mourning?


We get another eyeballer of Raquel and Santiago finally having a bit of sexual satiation.  Unfortunately, SN’s pillow talk is muffled due to her unique way of mumbling in such a low baritone that much is lost of the conversation.  I do believe that Santi still feels guilty somehow—whether it is the lovemaking or the fact he remained blind to Damian and Carolina’s cheatin’ hearts.  Can’t say.  Raq is a bit negative and too clinical about what just happened between them.  It could be that it has just been a means of release for the two of them, despite their obvious feelings for each other but also that their “period of mourning” is passed, but Santi doesn’t agree.

He cannot forget Caro and what she and Dam did to the both of them, destroying their lives, making fools of them, etc., nor get it out of his head.  Raq does think about her past relationship with Dam also.  There is no relief, perhaps it is just a momentary release for the two of them after all. They agree they love and care for one another.  Oh well….nothing puts a damper on a promising relationship like continuing to bring up one’s past bedtime habitués.

Caer En Tentacion #33, 12/5/17: There’s Always Sex

When The World Around You Is Crumbling, There’s Always Sex

When Mia and Raquel return from the psych session, Jovita gives Raq the news that she’s got company: Gabriela is there to gripe about Santiago’s poor workmanship and his lackadaisical attitude in getting her kitchen finished. Otherwise, she’ll be forced to take action. Raq reminds her that she’s the one who raced to employ him. He’s excellent, Raq insists and comments that Gabi is simply upset that unlike other men, he’s not kneeling down at her feet enthralled.  Gabi gets more than miffed at that and starts to leave, but not before Dam gets home.  Gabi whispers in his ear when kissing her greeting that she’ll meet him at his office but not to worry, she’s said nothing to his wife.

When Nicolas finally arrives back home with the medicine for Benji, Mia’s there waiting.  Lola takes Benji to his room.  Mia wants to know where she stands with Nico.  She wonders why after their steaming the sheets a time or two he’s been avoiding her—and IT. (I think.)  He tries to show her he’s sincere, but though the heart is willing, the hamster in his Hayne’s is on strike.

Chapter 32: Illicit Relations and Their Price Tags

Mia listened to a message from Julieta on her voice mail about the conversation with Raquel. When Raquel came into her room to talk to her she was not willing. Raquel did not allow her to put her off this time. She sat down and asked her whether she did it. Mia finally showed her mother the cut marks on her inner thighs. Raquel told her she loved her and they would get help for her. She cried as she told Mia she loved her with all her heart and that she was not alone. They finally hugged, both crying.

Caer En Tentacion #30, 11/30/17: Highlights and Now Everyone Hates Carolina

[Princess Juju may have a fuller recap ready.  I will put up some highlights.
I think of this episodio as "Tiptoeing Through The Garden Of Eden."  Don't ask me why. --Ed.]


Nicolas comes back to the Becker manse that morning looking for Alina’s missing present.  He’s ready to blame it on Federico or some such, but Mia holds them out to him: “--Did you come looking for these?”  Dunno whatyertalkin’bout.  UHMMM>  She accuses him of possibly sleeping with the new jefa.  He’s been ignoring her.  She tells him she cut herself again.

Agustin gives his statement and tells them that Nacho as well as Santiago knew about Damian and Caro and possibly that Nacho did the murderous deed at Santi’s behest.

Caer En Tentacion #29, 11/28/17: My--OUR--Lyin' Eyes


  We continue as Santiago and Raquel have a heart to heart while the mattress burns.  He can’t deal with any of this.  He’s a fool in everyone’s eyes. He’s got no self-respect left!  She/they destroyed him, his life and now they want to take his child from him!! They destroyed both of them and how can she say they’re better off?  He proclaims his love for Raq and asks what’s the matter with her.  He kisses her.  He says he loves her, and wants to make love to her.  She won’t go further than to share his kisses—with all that’s been done and said and threatened and advised recently.  The kids are watching their every move as well as Screamin’ Mimi de Miriam.  Suddenly there’s a call from the housekeeper that Mia’s been way too long in the shower and Raq races off.  He removes his wedding ring finally and throws it into the flames.  (Yeah, we’re right there with ya, Santi.  Ten points for coming to terms finally!)

  3 Yrs. Earlier:  Augustino and Nacho are waiting for Santi to come have a beer with them.  Nacho says it’s the best way for Auggie to give Santi the necessary truth to open his eyes about Carolina.  Auggie isn’t agreeing.  It’s not their place, but Nacho disagrees.   He’s their friend and needs to know the truth, even if it hurts.  Santi sits down and gives them the grand news that he’s going to be a papa again.  Santi gets up and comes back.   Nacho pushes Auggie to give up the truth as he saw it.  The air and joy goes out of Santi.

Later that night Santi calls Raq and asks if Damian has told her about the argument over at his house earlier.  Nope.  He’s out of town on business and hmmm, Caro’s gone to Valle to help her sister-in-law cope.  Odd, but nothing more is said.  Raq will ask him when he returns.

  At the loveshaque-up, Caro and Dam argue about the kid being Dam’s and how it will be a stab in his eye every time he sees Santi carrying him in his arms.  Well, Caro didn’t mean for this to happen (so she says but Viewerville wonders); this has got to end and she’s told him this numerous times ad infinitum ad nauseam.  They begin to make love but Caro isn’t really into it.  She (we believe) stops poor Dam in the midst of his passion to pack and leave.  She heads off down the highway and he drives after her.

Caer en Tentación #28, 11/27/17, Lunes: Mrs Robinson to the Rescue


Chapter 28: Mrs Robinson to the Rescue

Why didn't you tell me anything?” Santiago asked.
Because I didn't know,” Carolina told him. “The way I was feeling I didn't want it to happen this way. I had a little fainting spell, and I didn't want to tell you until I was sure. That's all.”
Caro, why didn't –” He stopped himself for a second. “Let me just see the doctor out.”
As he left the room Carolina adjusted to sit up straighter and took a deep breath. She had not planned on telling him at all or at least in the immediate future.

Caer En Tentacion #27, 11/24/17: Truth’s come to the forefront, Lies continue to hover


Present time

Godoy and two other officers go to Santi’s house to tell him he has to go to the police station to make a statement about Carol’s murder because he is being accused by Vicente. They then put him in hand cuffs. Godoy tells him his Miranda rights.
Rafa tells Raquel that he can take her to Cynthia. Federico asks her where she is going “to pick up your aunt, I won’t be long” she says.
Fed then gets a call from Mia “Fede I know you won’t lie to me, tell me what is going on with Nico” Fede doesn’t understand the question. She asks if Nico is going out with his boss. Fede says he doesn’t know what’s going on. Mia then just imagines the worst and feels sorry for herself.
At his bosses office she tells Nico that she doesn’t want him to bring any girlfriend problems to the office. Then he gets a call letting him know his dad has been arrested. When he hangs up she acts all moody and says “it was her?” Nico tells her no “it was to let me know my dad was arrested”
At the police station Antonio chides Santi for having gone to threaten Andres because that complicates his situation especially because along with that there is the accusation from Vicente.

Caer En Tentacion #26, 11/22/17: What Did They Know And When Did They Know It?


Antonio visits Raquel on business.  He needs her statement.  Mia wants to know what’s going on and why the police want to take her into custody.  “—I went to the company to your uncle’s office and took away a gun.  Give me a chance to speak to this man and I’ll explain afterward.”  Tonio walks into the living room and informs her that Vicente has signed a formal complaint against her and Santiago for his sister, Carolina’s, murder and attempted murder of her husband, Damian.  This is all she needed, but it was to be expected.

Mia goes up to her bedroom and leaves another message on Nicolas’s voicemail.  Nico is having a grown-up dinner at an elegant restaurant with Cougar Boss Lady.  He’s thanking her for the clothes and the meal, and tries to refuse her giving him a lift home after.  All the recompense she wants is to enjoy his smile and his can-do-it attitude.  (Righhhhhht.)  All the while he’s feeling like king of the cock-walk, Mia is screaming insults at him into the phone because he’s not returning her calls.

Crooked Coke-pushing Cop (?) tells Cinthia that she was a fool for telling her big sis about the affair with Dam, especially since it was before they Raq and he were even married.  SinCin wanted to make her understand Dam was not the best of hubbies.  Well, she can’t stay there.  He’s got lots of visitors coming in and out doing lots of things that may tempt her.  She lies and says she’s in control and tries seducing him so she can stay anyway.

Caer En Tentacion #25, 11/21/17: The Forest For The Trees


Laura and Lola are getting coffee.  Well, Laura’s getting information and Lola’s getting screwed by the press.  Oh, she’s there to accuse Lola of having an affair with Damian as well as with Juan The Stalker-Abuser.  And what about Tio Vicente and his relationship with her mama and papa and her papa with Raquel?  After all, he’s just formally accused Raq and Santi of murder and conspiracy to murder (I supposed that’s what they call it in Mexico.)  Lola, upset and naïve beyond words, tells this reporter who, besides believing she sits on the right hand of Dios and thinks she’s better than her husband at detective-work, (--why, she is woman-reporter; hear her roar? )  that Tio Vicente is a vicious drunk who’s always spouting off senseless and meaningless crap.  Therefore she really had no knowledge of ol’ Tio.  And, Raq and papa are just helping each other out to emotionally.  So back off and keep our family and Raq’s out of the papers, the press, tv.  She’s never to darken their door again.  Got it?

Santi finally reaches Nicolas at his new job.  WTF?  Well, Dad, I tried to tell you I’d gotten a part-time job.  You weren’t listening.  And, no, I am not quitting university.  –Cougar Boss-Lady likes hearing that.  She also needs to hear she’s not looking too old and wrinkly these days, even though she’s getting very closed to her use-by date.  She sends him on an errand to a client to smooth the way for her business relationship with them.

Caer en Tentación #24, 11/20/17, Lunes: Blackmail


Chapter 24: Blackmail

With apologies for the missing finesse...

In some half-drunken edition of the Truth Game Carolina said something about Santiago always comparing her to Raquel, which Damián knew was a lie. It was difficult to determine whether it was that or teasing, as Santiago did not think this amusing. Raquel decided that Santiago had to have been teasing her because she was young, beautiful, an excellent cook, etc. Carolina then went on about Damián, saying that he was a good man, loyal, etc., while Santiag tried to divert this conversation to less personal information and commentary. Raquel poured another drink, saying that this should not cause problems between “intimate friends”.

Caer en Tentacion #23, 11/17/17: Raquel is lost Between the Betrayal and the Lunacy


Present Time:
Godoy is outside of the cabin letting Raquel and Santi know that Vicente is going to file a complaint against them accusing them of murdering his sister Carolina. Santi says “what did he say?” and Raquel Says “we have a right to know what he said” Godoy then tells them that “he is sure that you planned the murder so that you could be together, he says he saw you earlier in the cabin together, you know what I mean” Santi then tells Godoy that he is obviously lying he is a drunk and how are you going to believe a drunk. All Godoy can tell them is that they have to be careful of Vicente and of the press, because the news will be filtered to them. Santi then very accurately tells Godoy, that the filtering will be done by Laura because of him. Godoy denies giving any information to the media (but we all know that he does). Santi offers to open up the cabin for him to investigate, but Godoy does not have a search warrant, Santi says “go get your warrant and I’ll let you in” Godoy leaves, and Raquel and Santi are left to feel an utter disbelief of their situation.
At the Becker home flowers are delivered, Jovita is taking them in when Cynthia asks if they are for Mia, Jovita said no they are for you. Cynthia grabs them and looks pleased. Rafa calls her and she tells him that it’s a good thing he called because she needs the supply of drugs; she has some clients that are very interested. He tells her you already have the supply look in the base of the flowers. She does and finds a bag with the drugs. She looks worried. Rafa tells her she is now in and can’t back out.

Caer en Tentacion #22, 11/15/17: Guilty in the Eyes of Vicente and So What?

Part 1/3
Raquel is standing in front of Santi, nude from the waist up, demanding he look at her and asking if they didn’t have the right to do what “they” did to them, to feel what “they” felt. Santi is extremely uncomfortable. Fortunately for the moment, a noise interrupts. He and Raq can’t see it’s Vicente, having peeped enough to confirm his opinion of Raq and Santi. He backs up in his drunken haze and knocks over a potted plant. The noise stops and Raq approaches Santi and begins to unbuckle his belt. They begin to kiss unemotionally.
 
There’s a knock at the door. No, it’s not Vic, it’s Rosa, come to warn him that Vic is on the loose and possibly dangerous. Meanwhile, Raq has picked up her tops and locks herself in the bathroom.
 
Juan is at Lola’s door demanding to be let in. He’s in the post-aggressor mode of being sorry, apologizing and promising he’ll never get out of control again. He loves her, he needs her, and if she leaves him he swears he will kill himself. (Wish he would.) Lola puts up a weak defense saying he’s done this before, but lets him in, then falls for his crap, again. (If anyone is dangerous, it’s Juan.)
 
Vic goes to Lisa’s and raises a ruckus. She’s terrified, but hears him accuse Raq and Santi of messing around in the cabaña.
 
Mia and Nico finally get it on and are enjoying a brief afterglow. (Nico must be relieved after three years of frustration.) Nico has to get ready to go for his interview for a job in an attorney’s office. Mia’s insecurities return.

Caer En Tentacion #21, 11/14/17: Living Dangerously



Carolina admits to Lola that it’s her test and suggests to her that it’s best to wait till you’re married to have kids (PSA#1001).  She determines she’s not preggers and calls Damian right away to let him know.  She’s been worried her kids might tell Santiago—Why?  (You figure it out, Dam.)

At the grand manse, Santi has finally finished the kitchen remodel.  He and Raquel are sad to see this day come because now they’ll have to forgo their daily chats and heart-to-hearts.  Santi thanks her for helping him get on his feet financially with the business.  Thanks to her and Dam he’s now having to turn away business.

Godoy and Antonio discuss the fact that both Caro and Dam were alive, and he was actually conscious after the accident.  Godoy conjectures that he must  know who Caro’s murderer was; they also must assume it was somebody close to them, somebody in their inner circle who was extorting them for the cash.  Why?  Because, says Godoy, there were no complaints filed for extortion or harassment or anything else by Dam and to have done that would have exposed his and Caro’s great sin to both families.  Godoy suggests they concentrate their efforts on finding who in their group of acquaintances could be the criminal.

Caer en Tentación #20, 11/13/17, Lunes: Revelations

Chapter 20: Revelations

Carolina made up an excuse about her hair being wet; she told Lola that she had had a headache and needed to take care of it. She went on about how since she began working everyone is questioning her actions, demanding to know where she was going and what she was doing. “Now you're acting as though you were the mother and I the daughter,” she told Lola. “What is the matter? What's with you?”
Well, it's that since you've gone back to work you have no time for me. You're not around when I need you. That's what is bothering me.”
I'm here,” she said. “I'm here to talk to you. Tell me what's happened.”
Now I don't want to talk. I don't feel like it; it's over. I've solved the problem. Okay?”
Carolina nodded.
Okay. Okay.” Carolina left the room without another word, took a breath, and tried to lean against the wall. Nicolás arrived at that moment, allowing her no time to think about what had just happened. When he asked about Lola, she told him that Lola didn't want to talk and asked him what this was about. He pleaded ignorance, then asked whether she had been showering.

Caer En Tentacion #18, 11/9/17: One Disaster Averted, but an Earring Might Give Them Away

What Swims In The Sewer Stays In The Sewer.....

3 yrs. Ago: Carolina avoids an embarrassing showdown with Raquel by racing out of the bedroom and bumping into Raquel.  Damian escapes down that back stairs.  Caro later realizes she’s lost her earring on the bed and texts Dam to look for it and find it or their jig is up.  Raq accidentally steps on it but Dam distracts her long enough and they argue together so that she forgets to look on the floor for what she stepped on.  She goes to take a shower before a lunch date with Gabriel and her hubby.  Dam locates it afterward and pockets it.  He joins Raq and Gaby for lunch.

Caro gets home and Santi comes in after griping and yelling about Dam and her going behind his back with the kids, all because Dam gave Lola a job and he doesn’t want the kids or his wife working.  “—WE are those kids’ parents, not the Beckers!  I am tired of his/their meddling with my family and in my bed!” Caro doesn’t quite know what to make of that last comment.  Santi uses Caro’s phone to call Dam and angrily tells him they have to talk and soon.

Laura chats up Juan and sizes him up pretty quickly as a dangerous predator.  Afterward, Laura has Lola come to her house.  She warns Lola that Juan is a psychopath and is dangerous.  She asks Lola if he was the one who beat her.

Andres bribes an attendant at the rehabilitation center where Cinthia is being treated.  He is allowed into the room and, as soon as he realizes she’s practically comatose, tries molesting her.  (Yes, if we hadn't already guessed, Andy has a very difficult time keepin' in his pants.)  Suddenly she attacks him and the orderlies pull Sin off him and chase him out of the hospital room as they begin to put her into restraints.

Caer en Tentación #17, 11/8/17: The Problem Is More Than Jobs and Money; It’s Also Cheating and Lies


Three years ago, at Santi's house, Lola walks in on Carolina and Damián arguing about Cheatin’ Dam “cheating” on Cheatin’ Caro with his own wife. Lola wants to know what’s going on and Dam, the professional liar, covers quickly. He tells her they were discussing the possibility of Lola working part time at the company office and was just trying to persuade her, knowing how Caro feels about Lola finishing school first. Lola thinks this is a great idea and Dam washes his hands and tells them to work it out. Lola says she can talk to her dad, then leaves the room.
 
Now Dam leans toward Caro and wants to talk. Caro wants him to leave—sarcasm dripping from her cheatin’ lips—now that he and his wife are getting along, go enjoy her. She asks him rather unconvincingly to leave her in peace and escapes to her bedroom to think, pace and reflect. He leaves and has to call Raquel to tell her the two-family brunch is off. He has an emergency to deal with back at the factory.
