La Candidata, 8/16/2017 Chapter 47: Emiliano is Guilty, and Regina makes a hard decision


Jose is distraught and tells Natalia that it’s her fault that his mother died. If he had not met her nothing would have happened to his mother.  Natalia feels he is being unfair.  He is also upset that he kept him from killing Omar. Natalia tells him she kept him from killing Omar because she did not want him to go to jail. Jose replies that he risked everything for her and they killed his mother because of it. Therefore how does Natalia want them to continue with the relationship?

At the hospital, Teresa is told by the doctor to complete the forms and to give them her husband’s information because they have to inform him that she has lost the baby. Teresa says that they are not going to tell her husband, because this is her responsibility and no one else needs to know.

Regina and Hernan in her office, she is questioning him about whether what she is hearing about Emi and Alma is true. Hernan comes back and very straight forward tells her “you should find out what really goes on in your house” Regina did not like the sound of that, and promptly asks Hernan to leave.

Chapter 46: Regina Announces Her Candidacy

La Candidata 8.14.17 Chapter 45: Alonso Leaves Everything for Regina

Cecelia explains to Hernan that she can’t control herself and she feels herself sinking deeper and deeper. She begs him to help her because her family won’t and he begs her to start from zero and move on. She hugs him but he pulls away after a second because he can’t fall in her trap anymore. She asks if he still loves her, and he does, so she asks him to help her. At that moment, he kisses her but they are interrupted by Mauro, who needs to speak to Cecelia. Hernan promises to call her later and walks out as Mauro closes the door. He demands to know what the plan is and Cecelia reminds him that he asked her to keep Hernan under control. Mauro wants to know if she will betray Alonso but Cecelia confesses that her plan with Hernan involves Isela and he shouldn’t tell Alonso, under any circumstances. Mauro demands she start talking or he will tell Alonso.

Regina believes Alonso is planning something because he would never give up his candidacy. Daniela reminds her that Alonso wanted to win his family back but Regina is doubtful because the presidency is his life’s work. Daniela thinks she should use his announcement to her advantage, just like he has used her, but Regina doesn’t work that way. Daniela urges her to rethink her stance because these are the rules of the game.

La candidata Friday 8/11/17 Capítulo 44: Emiliano Against Alonso--OR--Regina Has A Real Bad Idea--OR--Alonso and Mario Tap Dance Well When They Have To

Regina's house--Regina is with Gerardo and suddenly Emiliano cannot be found. Nobody saw him leave. Gerardo will help her look but where? Regina decides to go to Cecilia's.

Ceciia's apartment--Emiliano has gone indeed to Cecilia's and he walks in on Cecilia and his father having sex. (Unimás censors cut this scene that was pretty tame and only a few seconds long) Alonso is oblivious to Emiliano's presence but it seems that Cecilia might have caught a glimpse of him before he bolts down the stairs and out of the apartment. The slam of the door distracts Alonso and he wonders what that noise was. Cecilia asks Alonso if he left the door open. No, he doesn't think so. Cecilia quickly runs down the stairs but sees nothing.

At the hospital--Mario comments to Hernán that he didn't know that he had changed professions. Besides being a mediocre journalist, he is trying to be a policeman. Mario has no reason to answer Hernán. Hernán wonders if Mario will feel the same way after Almirón gives his statement to the police about all of the crimes he has committed. Suddenly the elevator doors open and a couple of detectives arrive with a few uniformed police officers. A couple of doctors immediately start talking to them. Hernán walks over to join the crowd as Mario stands alone. (sort of like the cheese stands alone??)

Regina and Gerardo are making love. They  both don’t want to let go. Gerardo says

 “I want this moment only for us”

“You know that can’t be, as a matter of fact we should not even be here, I should have been stronger”

“I wish that Teresa wasn’t pregnant, I know it was a trap, but when the baby is born I will love him as much as I love Ximena.”

“I don’t want the baby to separate us”

“It’s not just the baby separating us, it’s everything”

Regina says “you know I love you, and I will love you all my life, but I have a son and I am selfish for being here”

“No you are, not selfish you are the perfect woman for me, I will love you always”

La Candidata Martes 8/8/17 Chapter 41: Mario Explodes In Front of Cecelia


Chapter 41: Mario Explodes In Front of Cecelia

The world has very little love to offer. I often think that some people actively avoid it because they see weakness in it. The weakness is in their inability to be strong in the face of real adversity, when those they love are threatened. They push them away in the name of power or social position. The smart ones who make this mistake live to regret this while the others are content with shallow satisfactions achieved through nefarious plots. The political forum is the main arena for this.
D.D.

Omar entered the bedroom suddenly, catching Marcia on her cell phone. She ended the call quickly and told him she was talking to her mother. She sarcastically asked whether that was forbidden. Strangely, he did not snatch the phone out of her hand to examine it. She left the room.

La Candidata 8.7.17 Chapter 40: Omar Orders Mario's Death

Alonso wonders who bought the diamond bracelet as Mauro explains that the purchase was recent and it was done at a store they have credit with. Magda offers to call the store as Mauro and Alonso discuss how to best handle the situation with the media. Magda comes back and reveals that Emiliano bought the bracelet. Alonso immediately assumes it was for Cecelia and asks Magda if she knew. Magda had no idea and Mauro reiterates that they need an explanation since the charge was made to Alonso’s government. Alonso reminds him that it is now his government and promises to go talk to Emiliano as they handle the press. They both look at him for a second and Alonso orders them to get moving. Once alone, he calls Cecelia and asks her where she is. She tells him that she is being a babysitter, as requested, and Alonso tells her that he is on his way to talk to her and orders her to get rid of Emiliano. He hangs up.

La candidata Friday 8/4/17 Chapter 39: Teresa Will Ruin Gerardo's Life--OR--Isela Fights for Her Own--OR--Ximena Confronts "No Exit"

Regina's office-- The interview from hell goes on. Regina takes and explains the photos by saying that it is common for senators to get together to discuss policy issues. Regina sees the real problem being the interviewer's intention with asking about the photos. The next thing she knows the interviewer is asking about the relationship Regina had with Gerardo way back in college. At this point, Gerardo is watching the interview in his office and Teresa is watching and even baiting Regina as she sits in her kitchen. Regina considers Gerardo a friend and a person with whom she shares the same political values. The next tactic the interviewer uses is saying that Regina had presented herself as a defender of women along with the support of her husband and son until this change. "What change?" asks Regina. She goes on about being a dedicated mother always concerned about her son. Whoopsie: She hasn't mentioned her husband. The next question is if Regina is getting a divorce. Regina tries to skirt the issue saying that that is her private life. The interviewer explains that when she is running for president that is no longer true. The people want to know. A very tired but still pleasant Regina explains that divorce is an option for couples that cannot find another way to solve their problems. Cecilia is watching, too, and smiles at that comment. Regina continues that before getting to that decision, couples must exhaust all possibilities to try to solve their problems. The final question is if she Regina is personally in favor of divorce as a last resort. Regina answers that she is. Alonso is watching in his car and tells his driver that his wife just sunk herself all on her own.

Regina and Gerardo go on with their conversation on whether or not they want to be together. Regina thinks they have everything against them. He moves in for the kiss, but she pulls back…

At the San Roman-Barcenas house, Cecelia debriefs the remaining two “girls” telling them that none of that has happened and sends them off. Emiliano is crying like a baby in the corner. Cecelia tells him, “Do you know what you did? Do you know what happened?” Emiliano says, “Another girl has died because of me.” Cecelia tells him that this is not like what happened with Florencia. Emi says, “But I was really just trying to be cool. I never thought anything like this would happen,” Emi cries. “Well it did happen”, says Cecelia. “And now we have Alma who is dead now. But now, what we have to do is get rid of her body.” Emi looks up at her in disbelief. Cecelia says she is going to call his father and pulls out her phone. “No!” says Emi. “You can’t do that!”
Cecelia says, “I don’t think you understand! This horrific thing has just happened in the Governor’s home…no…the home of the next President of Mexico!” She slaps him and calls Alonso. Alonso says to her, “So did you finally get rid of the prostitutes?” Then Cecelia tells him that there was an “accident” and one of them died at his house.

La Candidata, 8/2/2017 Chapter 37: Teresa is pregnant! (Or one death, two bombs and a baby)


At Alonso’s office he asks Omar what he has done with Lorena Sanchez, Omar explains that they just took her in order to get all the incriminating evidence she has on them. Alonso seems appalled (only because he didn’t think of it himself). Since Alonso resists the idea of doing something to Larreta, Omar says “forget about it” a la Donnie Brasco  he will take care of Larreta himself.
Alonso says “you will not do anything” and Omar responds that Alonso will not tell him how to handle his business.  Mauro interjects that they should find solutions instead of arguing. Alonso agrees, and surprisingly so does Omar. He says that the campaign is going to hell and it’s all because Alonso could not control Regina. Especially because she found out about the other woman (well at least about one of the women). Alonso says that “this is precisely why they can’t make Lorena disappear, Regina would be the first to suspect” Alonso then says that they think carefully what they are going to do next.

Vice is nice but incest is best” could have been Caligula's motto; now it appears to be Cecelia's., thanks to her mother, the Agrippinilla of our tale. One can only imagine what her parents had been like for her to push her own daughter into something as perverse as this. Caligula and Nero would be proud of her.
  • D.D.

Chapter Thirty-Six: Gerardo or Your Family

Regina looked inside Cecelia's home and from the door saw Emiliano in only his briefs. She ordered him to get dressed immediately because she was bringing him home. He refused. She told him to get dressed so she could speak with Cecelia. He backsassed her by saying that things were fine until she showed up. Cecelia demanded to know what this was about and told her she would not be threatened in her own home. Emiliano said they were busy. Regina got tough with Emiliano and ordered him to get dressed so she could talk with Cecelia. He insisted that they talk in front of him. Cecelia sent him back to the bedroom so she could talk with Regina. After she smirked at Regina in a Mean Girl manner.

La Candidata 7.31.17 Chapter 35: Cecelia Begins Her Revenge Against Regina

Regina tells Alonso that she is no longer scared of his threats because she now knows who he is. Alonso warns her that she doesn’t know what he is capable of but Regina reminds him that he doesn’t know what she is capable of either and declares that she will beat him. He wonders how because she’s young, and a woman, but asks if maybe Gerardo is her endgame though he notes that Gerardo won’t win either because he’s a loser. Alonso then declares that she is no one but his wife and therefore has no power to win. Regina reminds him that the people know the truth but Alonso explains that the people are easily manipulated and will believe anything they tell him. Regina reminds him that the people have woken up to corrupt politicians like him and will make the right decision. Alonso sighs and tells her that she doesn’t have the resources to win, especially because he will make it his personal mission to destroy her. Regina asks if he hates her so much but Alonso shakes his head and tells her that the people will hate her because he will make sure she loses everything she holds dear. Regina warns him to leave her family, and Emiliano, out of this, but Alonso laughs it off. He tells her that Emiliano will never forgive her for what she did with Gerardo but Regina reminds him that he did the exact same thing. He moves closer other and Regina asks if he’s so cowardly to hit her too. Alonso warns her not to cross the line but Regina confesses that she expected him to act exactly like he is acting. Alonso holds back and tells her that she is also nothing special, she is just his wife. He leaves and Regina breaks down crying.

No-tell hotel room--It turns out that it is room service at the door. Wise Gerardo decided that they did need to eat before going to work even though Regina is in a rush.

Regina says then they will be continuing together as a couple as well as working together in the senate. Gerardo likes the way she is thinking. Regina thinks they will have to get their own party. That is why Gerardo thinks that working with the Popular Force Party is an excellent choice for them to start with. There is more laughing, kissing, canoodling on the bed with Regina's phone repeatedly pinging and ringing. She chooses to ignore it. Post-canoodling, reality demands attention. Regina checks her phone to discover that her mother is out of the hospital and has called three times, Natalia and Emiliano have called, too, as well as there being countless messages from Daniela.

Cecilia is frozen with complete shock at Alonso’s cold demeanor towards her and does not move. So to show whose boss Alonso says.
“Did you not understand, or do I have to repeat myself?” of course all this was done in front of Lorena to Cecilia’s dismay. She leaves with tail between her legs. Lorena takes the opportunity to tell Alonso that Cecilia is dangerous and he should consider getting rid of her.

OR: Omar Goes Around the Bend OR: Too Much Coke and Insomnia Do Not a Pretty Cecilia Make

Cecilia's apartment--Hernán arrives at Cecilia's and in her drugged state she answers the door. He is not happy with her less than enthusiastic greeting and wants to know if this is how she treats her friends. Lifeless Cecilia has no time to fight with him and closes the door. Suddenly, she comes to life when she hears him shouting through the door that he has info on Lorena Sánchez. This time when she opens the door she is all perky. Hernán knows where Lorena lives and also that Larreta is not the only guy she is seeing. As a matter of fact, right now she is with somebody very special: the Gov. Voilà! He has a video on his phone of Alonso and Lorena having sex. Cecilia can barely look.

The hospital--It is morning and Regina and Gerardo have fallen asleep on a couch in the waiting area next to each other. They wake up and the doctor informs them that Noemí made it through the night but now she has an infection so they are running tests to see which antibiotic will work the best for her. Gerardo tells Regina that they need to be positive. Regina is worn out but does show a sign of life with a smile when she realizes that he spent the whole night with her. Gerardo wants to always be there in her arms but it is 6:00 a.m. and Regina tells him the time has come for him to get going because she needs him fighting in the senate. She cannot count on her fellow senators because they will do whatever Larreta or Alonso tells them. He will call her later. They have a quick kiss and he is gone but not soon enough. It just so happens that Mario has arrived and his first question to Regina is what was that guy Gerardo doing there. Barely hiding her annoyance. Regina pretends he asked about her mother and tells him that she made it through the night. Mario catches on and asks how his wife is. Regina adds that she now has an infection and is in isolation. Mario returns to his original question about Gerardo. Regina stands up and tells him that Gerardo came to open her eyes to what kind of a man her father is.
