Caray, Caray!

Recap time!

• At the jail Santiago sees a woman who is wearing a bracelet that is identical to one that he had gifted to Carolina, he accuses the woman and her husband of having stolen it from his dead wife. It does not help matters any when Antonio questions the woman and realizes that the inscription on the bracelet had been erased.
• Alina gets a phone call about Santiago's melt down and runs off to see him- oh this is right after she finishes having sex with Nicolas, who is hiding out at her house because she has led him to believe that there's an active warrant out for him because he punched Andres (more on that later)
• How did Alina get Nico to sleep with her? By telling him that he owed her for representing her father, she won't take cash, checks or credit cards, just penis. Then she tells him she loves him (lies!)

Antonio tells Alina that if there is no physical evidence tying Santi to the crime, he still is a suspect for being the master mind. Alina asks “what makes you say that?” Antonio replies “the fact that the gun is his and the Beckers have evidence that he owed a significant amount of money to Damian.” Alina looks taken aback.
Raquel goes to see Santi. She looks weak, exhausted and tells him to resist because she needs him with her. She says she knows he did not do it. “Do you know who killed Carolina?” says Santi. She replies “I don’t know who killed her, but I do know how much you loved her, so you would not kill her.” “I thought you knew” Raquel says “no I have some ideas maybe, Miriam, Andres and possibly Vicente he is so unstable, but on the other hand Damian’s family always thought you guys were with us because you were interested in our money.” She then says “if I knew something I would tell you” Raquel continues and says “it’s important to know who took out the gun from the drawer” she speculates that maybe Carol, Santi says “what you think she took the gun out to commit suicide or to kill Damian?” {Ok patio, I need to stop here a minute…now when Raquel found the gun in the drawer she actually handled the gun right? So what is this supposition that Carol took the gun…My head is spinning…someone please tell me that Raquel did see the gun after Carol was already dead!!}

Part 1 of 2
En el presente
Godoy and Antonio discuss the current state of the case against Santiago. They're working on comparing the fingerprints. Godoy tells Tonio that actually, there is something more important to add to the case. The Becker's lawyer says he has evidence to use against Santiago. Tonio says that until they get fingerprint results, they have nothing. They should have the results later that afternoon. Godoy is convinced this was not merely a crime of passion. Much more is in play. Godoy is going to go back and interview Vicente. Oh, and by the way, says Tonio, Laura was here asking about him. Be careful, he warns, a woman hurt is dangerous.

Miriam apparently saw Alina there at the police station and asks Rueda why she's there. He tells her she has information for him on Santi's case and will be presenting it to the judge. He does warn her that the fingerprints might not match, but not to worry, he has another card to play. It seems Santi borrowed a lot of money from Damian but never paid it back. Dam wrote him a very large check. Miriam is pissed that Dam never mentioned it. They agree that this is enough to put Santi behind bars until he rots away. Rueda says they can't use it right now, but later it could be used as a motive for the attempt on Damian. [ed. note: If this were the case, wouldn't Santi have made sure Dam was dead and not just knocked out?] Rueda proudly puts forth his theory--eliminate Damian; eliminate the debt.

Sorry for the late post, yesterday was crazy. I had a pet emergency, my kitten has a UTI (and a heart murmur!) and we had to rush him to the vet, in addition to that it was my step dads 72nd birthday and by the time the day was over I was DEAD. Below is your recap!

• Santiago is arrested, the bullet fragments belong to a gun owned by his dad, a gun that Santiago insists has never left his house, but it looks like it has and he is headed to the big house.
• Andres takes Raquel home, Cinthia says she will take care of her sister and make sure she gets better. Raquel's doctor thinks it would be a good idea for her to be in a hospital where she can rest and where they can control the environment and make sure nothing upsets her.
• Raquel is put to sleep and later Mia visits with her, Raquel keeps calling for Santiago who she says only wants to take care of her.
• Cinthia tells Fede that they need to stick together in order to help Raquel, Mia, again makes everything about herself and accuses them of excluding her and not thinking about her and her feelings.

(Scenes not necessarily in order)
Epoca Actual
Raquel tries to get away from the couple that is preventing her from leaving. She is now fully cognizant of who she was with, but not exactly where she is. The "hostage takers" tell her she cannot leave, that her family has been notified and Andres Becker is coming to pick her up. The man persuades her to take her medicine and lie down.

Meanwhile, Santiago has been at the house and after being told the woman he's looking for was there but left, has been sent on a wild goose chase to the local Greyhound station and maybe they can help him. Santi talks to a police or security officer at the bus station.

Rueda reports to Andres that apparently the gun that was used to kill Carolina belonged to Santiago. If it turns out to be true, a judge can put in an order to have him arrested. They think things will work in their favor and against Santi, especially with him alone with Raquel and outside the city. He can be charged with flight.

Some scenes have been combined to provide continuity.

Nacho thinks he knows who the ideal murder suspect is. Santi tells him to spill it, now. Ok, it's Miriam. Think about it. She's someone who knows every move they make, someone who is a master manipulator, who despises everyone around her, so why not Miriam. She could have planned it, she could have been responsible.

Santi can't believe she would ever want to harm her own son. He begins to recall how Dam gave them everything they asked for (and more). He concludes Dam did it just to distract him from figuring out what he and Caro were doing. Nacho still recommends taking their new suspicion to Antonio. After all, they put him in jail with no verifiable evidence, only circumstantial. Now Tonio should be willing to investigate Miriam.

⦁ Lola tearfully admits to Raquel that she's preggars with Juan's baby; that he was a big mistake, has aggression problems and has beaten and abused her throughout; that it was just a physical attraction and he's the only guy she's ever been with so yeah, she knows it's his demon seed.  He showed up at her mom's funeral; he was supposed to get help and promised that he'd changed but he hadn't.  They'd done the deed this last time and she'd foolishly not taken any kind of protection.  Now there's a burnt bun in the oven that she wants shed of.  AND. no, Papi can't ever know!!

⦁ Santiago is at Alina's law office laying the law down to her for abusing a minor.  She tries to divert, but Santi's no fool.  He sees through her kind of beauty and as much as tells her so.  She's a grown, accomplished and beautiful women who could have it all.   What's her game, anyway?  "--But what if I told you there was a mutual attraction?"  Fageddabowdit, says Santi.  Nobody messes with his son and hurts him.  Got it?  She offers to introduce him to another lawyer.  He refuses, saying she's a great attorney and he/they need her help with Benji's custody.  So, it's her decision to do it or not.  (Viewerville figures, she's going to keep her clothes on from now on where Nicolas is concerned, if she doesn't want professional problems, let alone to be thrown in the clink herself.)

En el Pasado
A tearful Carolina confesses to Damian that it was her father who attempted the violation. He used to fondle her inappropriately when he got drunk. At the same time he would beat Vicente unmercifully. He never beat her. In fact, when he wasn't drunk, he was nice to her. He treated her like a princess. One night he showed up drunker than usual and it was obvious to both young siblings that he intended to attack Caro sexually. Vic intervened. He knocked out the dad and later dragged him away. His body was found in the river the next day. Everyone assumed he fell in because he was drunk. He did it to save her.

At Raquel's house, meanwhile, she and Santi continue their heart-to-heart talk about--who else, Caro. Santi feels Caro deserves someone better than he--he's just a simple man with an ordinary life and an ordinary household. Raq tries to dispel his impression by using the same words on him that three years later he would use with her, "If you could see yourself the way I do, from my perspective, you would see yourself differently. You are a man of great accomplishment."

• Mia is out of surgery, the operation was difficult and she needed blood transfusions, but at least she's not dead, yay?
• Santiago is trying to comfort a distraught Raquel, she blames herself for being distracted by her relationship with him and not paying enough attention to Mia and her issues. Uh, someone needs to remind Raquel that Mia's issues are not something new.
• Miriam is seething, she vows revenge on Raquel not only for the slap but for flaunting her relationship with Santiago.
• Andres tries to tell Mimi that the most important thing now is for Mia to get better, Miriam tells him that the only way for that to happen is for Raquel to be dead.

Andres finds Mia bleeding on the bathroom floor.  He screams for Miriam.  One look and Screamin' Mimi starts running around in circles asking "--What do we do?"  (Try calling an ambulance-Duh!)  Later they've called a private physician? to make a house call.  He brings up another "S" word: Suicide.  (The mental state of Miriam and Family is not lookin' so good when it comes to custody.) Will the doctor allow himself to be bribed into silencio instead of notifying the policia?  He's got to get back to saving Mia's life.  Leave that for later, ok?

Raquel looks for p.j.s in Santiago's drawers and finds a different kind of pistol instead.  Turns out to be Santi's dad's pistol and the only thing that remains from his father and something she cannot ask him to get rid of.  He refuses.
