Caray, Caray!

    • Ricardo “threatens” sex offender suspect #uno with the full weight of the law to put him behind bars , lock him up and throw away the key.  SoS1, aka,Tavio has a mouthpiece who shows the magistrate at the police station a writ of protection against  atrocities by the legal authorities.  Essentially he doesn’t have to give his statement yet and cannot be thrown in jail, either. (I believe.)

    • El Ciego has a few little things in mind for all the pesos he’s been piling up lately which he brings up to Carlos.  What’s the possibility Carlos can do a little cleaning up for him?  “--Oh, you mean money-laundering?”  El Ciego sniggers over to his guerrero, “--He said it, not me!! Well, you might say that, yeah.”  He notes Alejandra’s picture on the credenza behind Carlos.  Carlos, unshaken, says yeah, they can handle a few soapsuds here and there.

We pass through an excruuuuuuciatingly  uncomfortable moment with Alejandra as she witnesses Gustavo begging Isabel not to sign the divorce papers.  Isa tearfully explains she cannot trust him not to be unfaithful to her again, if not now then in a couple of years, thinking she forgave me once; she'll forgive me again.  Nope.  Not gonna risk it again!

Across town, Susana is ironing Juan's shirts when Fer arrives for a chat.  She offers to teach Fer how to iron his shirts (Talk about a walk down memory lane!  So, Fer doesn't know how to iron a shirt?   The suegra handed me Hubby's shirts the day after I got the engagement ring!  However, my momma already had taught me how to iron at 10 yrs. old! My suegra's suegra had done the same to her.)   They chat about how much Juan enjoys her company. FF>>FF>>

Back at AcheyBreaky Hearts, LLC, Isa and Gus are left to say one last good-bye to each other.

Sus and Fer discuss the how and why of Juanito's incognitos for days at a time.  The guy has a job to do and he's a very focused individual.  Fer just wants a little bit more acknowledgement.  Sus says don't worry.  It's not her.  Give it a bit of time.

So the ringleader frat boy had the gall to call his victim.  Paging Lorena Bobbitt!

Have at it, folks.

Note: Our resident attorney, relaxing on the lounge chair next to the Patio's Limpid Pool this afternoon has provided us with a crackin' good mini recap of the last 20 minutes of the episode.

  Alejandra accused Ricardo of being selfish and thinking only of himself. She was determined to deal with him only as a colleague and nothing else. She felt as though she had never been special to him. Paula tried to convince her to take time to think about this, but she would not be persuaded.

• Gustavo got after Ricardo, insisting that he was taking Alejandra's side against him and that he considered this disloyal. Ricardo wasn't able to get a word in edgewise.

Herewith are your court reporter's hastily jotted shorthand notes. (She pulled double duty today dealing with some pesky, nasty weeds and generally getting her hands dirty.) Tomorrow, she will transcribe, amplify and/or correct, if needed.

* Gus is confronting Ale repeating his pushy (selfish) attempts to leave Isy in ruin--it will serve her right for filing for divorce. She should of thought about that beforehand. Almost nose to nose, he tells Ale HE DOES NOT WISH TO BE DIVORCED. Y punto.

* Carlos is explaining to Alan why he didn't confront and accuse Ale about her behavior. He sure she's got a thing for Bust-a-man-te and he can't risk alienating her. Alan thinks it's mostly in his head.

* Ale tells Gus what he is proposing is not fair to Isy, nor to his son and she's willing to stand up against him for what is right. Gus is yelling that she doesn't have as much experience as he does and she doesn't know who she's up against.

• Marcia saw the dead body of her husband in a pool of blood after his suicide by gunshot. She became nearly hysterical with grief and needed to be held back by Roberto and Ricardo. Roberto got her out of the room, leaving Ricardo there. He knelt on the floor and moved toward the body of the godfather who had been a second father to him where he cried out in grief.

Ay de mi, where is Christopher Mason tonight? Without his literary talent, this episode will have to be in the ever-dull court reporting style.

Part 1 of 2
Rob is handing Fanny's problem with Albert over to Gus. He has to explain to her, why. He's recently uncovered facts that demonstrate Al fooled him into believing the shooting was an accident but he really meant to kill Ramon. He feels guilty about allowing him to go free and can't help her himself because, well, he represented Al. Gus is up to speed and takes over. Fanny doesn't understand any of this.

After last night's convivial phone conversation Ric had with Ale, she returns the call in the morning. Her dimples light up her face, smiling through the admiration Ric lays on her. She promises they'll see each other when she gets back. He says he'll be waiting for her. Ale is happy with the anticipation of a reunion with Ric.

• Fanny arrived at Alberto's house and marched right in. She slapped Berenice almost hard enough to knock her off her stilettos calling her a slut and demanding to know how long she had been fooling around with Ramón.

    • While Rob is busy winning Alberto’s freedom for an accidental shooting, Elena and Leticia have a chat about Ricardo.  Ric the Brick is still staunchly rejecting Exlena to her dismay.  She is checking up on him ahead of time to see if he and Alejandra are still “keeping company.”  Leti says not that she can determine.  Both are pretty much keeping to themselves.  In fact she’s getting on well it would seem with Carlos as just recently in a firm meeting she stated he wants her to set up a Women’s Shelter and supportive foundation.
   
      Hope springs eternal for Exlena who is thrilled to hear it, as it means that she’s got a chance at getting him to concede and return to her.  He’s too good a man and father for her and her kids,  aka topnotch husband material, to let go of.  She believes that Ric The Brick is capable of doing anything for her children, even forgiving her and giving her a second chance….eventually.  Leti, though, wonders why, with all the available proverbial finned finned and gilled vertebrates in the sea, why be obsessed with Ric?  Family picture or something more?  “--You only see him as father material.”  Well, if Leti had kids she’d understand, ok?  In fact, Exlena figures not only to get him to love her like before, but even more than what he felt before!  Hmmmmm.

While Alejandra laments with Paula over the major guilt trip the ever-scheming strategizing Carlos has laid on her, Gustavo promises his client that tomorrow will bring them a second audience/trial and he will manage to win over Oscar-winning Witchy Wife de Lorenza's blackmail  (gawd how Viewerville's missed Margarita Magaña) which he's certain the judge saw through.  "--Yes, it's said that you don't know who you really married until you get divorced."  It's good he didn't rule today.  (She's got to prove what she claims and she won't be able to?  Sorry, dude.  My money's on Lori.)

• Under the watchful eyes of her colleagues Victoria lured “Arturo” (hereafter to be known as The Rat With No Name) to the bar and he ordered drinks. Then he turned on the flattery. Leonardo saw this and went after him despite the others' attempt at holding him back. 
  “It that him?” he asked.
  “It's him,” Victoria answered.
  “Who are you?” their quarry asked, looking at both of them.
  “We want to know what you did to Olivia,” said Leonardo.
  “Olivia? Well, I did nothing. As far as I remember we had a damned good time in bed.”
  Leonardo punched him in the solar plexus with his left hand, which began a brawl worthy of a St Patrick's Day in Belfast. Half the bar got involved while the other half watched. Alejandra took out her cell and called the police, telling them to send a van with a team.
