Caray, Caray!

Tonight we are serving up a veritable plethora of Passion Pit provender. Welcome to the party and let your server know if you need anything else. Tequila, beer and wine are already on the table. (Warning: the order of scenes have been moved around slightly to accommodate the kitchen staff.)


Leftovers: That part where Horacio and Flor do not end up in a mad clinch, but Enrique and Flor do. Damian discovers them and blows his stack.


Steamed Stud Muffin: Steam one Damian over a full boil until he can absorb no more lies.
“Pardon me for interrupting!” Damian lets Flor have it, he couldn’t believe he blamed himself for her accident. Enrique starts to stick up for her and Dam nearly pounds his face into the wall. “Not a word! Not from you either Florencia!” 


Flor follows Dam into the house as fast as her little spiked heels will carry her. She just wants to explain, Enrique forced himself upon her. Dam calls bull***t on her. He spoke to Kenia and knows Flor lied about everything. “WE are over for good. Now get out of my life!” Alfonsina and Guido catch this last bit, and when they ask what’s going on Dam just tells them to ask HER.


Now papa Guido’s all over Flor’s case. Where was her head? Flor admits everything is all her fault. Pops tells her not to count on him for help this time. Damian had every right to tell her to go to the devil. Sheesh! 


Full of Beans: Cover dried beans with water and simmer until tender. Add Epazote to avoid flatulence and hot air.
Over at Casa Chisme Enrique gripes to Sabrina that Flor will
never forgive him, not to mention he’s broke. Not necessarily, she observes, maybe now the door will be wide open for him. Speaking of doors Begoña comes through theirs, what are the niños doing at home? “My job at La Anita is over,” says Enrique, “Sit down mom. Damian’s going to fire me.”  Begoña freaks at her own family’s chisme. I wonder, will she get on the phone or give it a rest for once?


Braised Asshat: Place one Augusto in the slow-cooker with one plump tomato. (Habaneros optional.) Set to high and simmer until the saxophones play.
Well we sure didn’t have to wait long to see the Assgusto/Kenia connection. Gael proudly shows her the fields while Assgusto ogles nearby. She loves how Gael is so passionate about los campos and apologizes for what she did. She’d like to meet Elisa and apologize directly to her. Assgusto and his coco frío enter the scene. Kenia gives him a delightful introductory kiss and explains it’s all her fault that Gael is late. Assgusto is mesmerised but manages to introduce himself. When Kenia hears he is Elisa’s father she wrangles an invitation to dinner so she can meet Elisa. She mentions something about Ingrid his mama and then gives Assgusto another kiss and hug goodbye. See ya later! 


Assgusto asks Gael what was she talking about? Gael reveals that a couple of days ago he discovered his mother is alive. He asks Assgusto if he knows anything about Ingrid Navarro. Nope, the name doesn’t mean anything to him, but Gael can count on him for any help he needs. He’s glad that Gael and Kenia (drool) are coming over.


Alfonsina Omelette: Take one Fina and crack her into a bowl. Add the bitter truth and whisk. Pour into a hot pan and stir gently until her forehead is set.
Dam is in his room unpacking and cooling down. Fina comes in and demands to know what happened. Dam says he ran into Kenia (who’s back in town) who told him about Flor’s fake pregnancy plot, then he just found Flor mouth-kissing Enrique Tovar at the stables! He makes the connection and accuses Fina of being complicit in the pregnancy plot. “Are you saying you knew nothing about the fake pregnancy?” Mom can’t answer. “Fine, then I’ll assume you plotted with Florencia all this time.”


Fina tries to defend herself without actually lying but Dam will have none of it. He heard she sent Flor’s x-rays to Merida for analysis. Well sure, she says, and they said there was nothing physically wrong with her. But she didn’t want to get between Flor and Dam and she sure didn’t want to keep Dam from going to the DF. He asks her how many other things has she hidden from him? She can’t believe he’s blaming her for what happened with Flor. “I”m not blaming you mom, I just don’t trust you. I don’t trust anyone.” 


TranquiliTea: Place dried chamomile, mint and lemon balm in a teapot, pour hot water over and steep for three minutes. Sip and visualize all will be right with the world.
Ramona visits Padre to get the chisme about Ingrid. Padre says it’s true, Gael’s mother is back in town, “risen from the dead”. But he suspects there is something else bothering Ramona. He suspects she fears the same thing will happen to Paloma, that Gabino will decide to tell her he’s her father. He advises Ramona to talk to Paloma but Ramona asks how can she tell her nieta that her father is a bastard (malnacido). Padre says she’s got  a right to know and if Ramona doesn’t tell her Paloma will feel resentful. And believe him, he knows what he’s talking about. 


Turkey Surprise: Clean one turkey and dress it well. Place in oven and try to forget about it until dinner.
Later that evening Assgusto, acting practically normal, brings Gael home and instructs a delighted Lolita to set two more places. Elisa is also delighted, all those years of working for them and it’s the first time dad has invited Gael to dinner. (Gael’s face is priceless.)


Elisa and Gael talk about how he is dealing with Ingrid. Gael says she doesn’t mean anything to him. He thanks Padre Lupe for who he (Gael) is. He is grateful to Elisa for being able to share his problems with her. He admits that Damian told him he should fight for Elisa’s love. She doesn’t look exactly thrilled.


Big Fish to Fry Tacos: Take the last big fish and fry it. Add just enough information to be dangerous. Wrap in soft tortillas and serve to the Big Cheese. Wait for your tip but watch your back.
Over at the ProCeSaDora Maru tells Ingrid that Damian won’t be coming back to work, he’s returning to the DF. Didn’t Gabino tell her? Ingrid is annoyed, he didn’t tell her anything and this news affects her big plans. GABINO slides in and wants to walk her home but Ingrid will have none of it. She’s got somewhere to go. GABINO pouts. Maru gloats.


Ingrid heads over to Hacienda Harangue-O to see Dam and annoy Fina. Fina is even more annoyed to find out she works at La ProCesADora. Ingrid turns on the water works and tells Damian she needs to talk to him about her baby she abandoned many years ago in La Ermita. “Gael es mi hijo and you would be very surprised to learn who his father is.” Fina thinks she and Ingrid should take it offline. Nopis, Ingrid heard Damian is leaving and she needs to talk to him NOW. Fina steps in for one last, desperate lob, “Lady, rest assured we will do whatever we can to help you. Get it?”

Ingrid tells Dam that Gael knows she is his mother but wants to know nothing about her. That’s why she’s here to beg Damian to help her get close to Gael. “And Gael’s papa, do I know him?” Dam asks, “does he live here?” Ingrid says the father’s name is well-known and loved by all the people of La Ermita. She promised she would never identify him and it's better for everyone, especially Gael, if she keeps it zipped.

After Ingrid leaves Fina asks if she revealed who is Gael’s father. No, but why does Fina suddenly care about what happens to Gael? 


Toxic Citrus Punch: Squeeze one Tangel-Ho until she squeals. Squeeze some more.
Over at Casa Castration (thanks Pasofino!) the Blood Orange is on her muletas whining because Assgusto ignores her and doesn’t care that she is injured. She’s also annoyed that the orphan is invited to dinner. She thinks this dinner is all very odd. The last time they had guests was when Stef invited Rosendo and Alfonsina, remember? That was the night she told him his wife and Rosendo...eran amantes! (Holy crap, they haven’t had guests since then? Not even Lucio and Blanca?) Saved by the bell!

Enter Kenia. “And who is this?” demands Agent Orange. Assgusto introduces Kenia, Gael’s friend. Carmina snorts in anger, “I am Carmina, Assgusto’s bitchy, rude and orange wife.” She stomps her muletas for emphasis and refuses to shake Kenia’s hand. Assgusto literally drools as Kenia leaves the room to join Gael. Orangina knows! Sweet.


Kenia joins Gael and Elisa. Elisa blasts Kenia for her role in Flor’s fake pregnancy. Kenia immediately owns up and apologizes. She didn’t know Elisa and believed what everyone says. “Good that you admit the truth,” snaps Elisa, “but I don’t want you in my house and we’re not going to be friends.”  Kenia wants to talk to Elisa alone. She convinces Elisa that Flor and her uncle are a couple of manipulators and they completely hoodwinked Kenia. The most important thing is that Damian knows the truth and it would be logical for him to dump Florencia.


Refritos: Take those beans from earlier, fry and mash like crazy until its too late.
Doc Tovar and Begoña are arguing really loudly in his office about Enrique. Paloma doesn’t even need to press her ear to the door. Begoña tells him what happened with Flor and Enriquito. I think she is more worried about her friendship with Alfonsina than Enrique’s job or anything else. Doc says it’s half Flor’s fault and this sets Begoña to shrieking again.


Doc visits Enrique in his room to get the chisme straight from the horse’s mouth. He tells his son he doesn’t think this girl is worth the trouble. Enrique is confused and he feels bad for making problems for Flor. Dad advises that maybe he did Damian a favor. Sometimes women take advantage and the worst of it is men find out too late. He speaks from experience. 


Habanero Salsa de la Casa: Take one plump, luscious tomato, add one young habanera pepper and one faithful clove of garlic, then add the grated, dried up old rind of one orange; grind in a molcajete until the orange disappears. Add fresh herbs before serving.
Elisa has forgiven Kenia and they are all seated for what promises to be a very interesting meal. Elisa is amazed by Assgusto’s good manners. Kenia asks for more salsa and Orangina just glares at her. Assgusto grabs the salsa and spoons it onto Kenia’s plate for her. Orangina is clearly annoyed and Elisa is clearly amused. Elisa and Gael talk about their plans for Las Tierras but they need lots of money. Kenia is interested. Orangina is annoyed. Saved by the bell!


It’s Paloma who needs to talk to Elisa in private. Assgusto notes they are just about done with dinner (doesn’t look like it to me) but Paloma is welcome to join them for coffee. “No!” interjects Orangina. “Yes!” interjects Elisa reveling in Orangina’s discomfort, “Join us.” Orangina is miffed and excuses herself, the meal doesn’t agree with her. Paloma asks Elisa what’s going on? Assgusto and Kenia make eyes at each other and Elisa whispers she’ll tell Paloma later.


Hot Mess Coleslaw: Grate cabbage and habaneros. Squeeze fresh lime over. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve with everything.
Flor begs Fina to help her. Fina scoffs, she told Flor to behave better than Elisa and now look at her, she’s worse than Elisa. She understands exactly why Dam told Flor to go to the devil and the best thing would be for Florencia to return to Mexico City. Fina kicks Flor out, she’s got her own problems to deal with.


Dam visits Padre to report he knows about Ingrid. Padre doesn’t understand why Ingrid approached Damian. Dam asks does Padre know who Gael’s father is? Padre says as a priest he cannot reveal this information. Dam also reports Flor is not the woman he thought and he’s decided to stay in La Ermita. Padre is excited to hear that Dam plans to look for Elisa tomorrow.


Taza de Chocolate: Add one tablet Mexican chocolate to 3 cups milk (or almond milk). Heat and whisk with molinillo until frothy. Add dash of Kahlua. Pour into two mugs and top with whipped cream for Lolita and Elisa to enjoy. Now leave them alone.
The young people say goodbye without Paloma getting to tell Elisa why she stopped by. It’s late so Gael agrees to walk Paloma home. Paloma admits Elisa told her about Ingrid. 


Elisa smiles and watches from her window as they ride away on Gael’s horse. Such a handsome couple, she tells Lolita. Elisa assures Lolita that she loves Gael like a brother. She asks Lolita if Kenia is interested in Gael. Lolita didn’t see any flirting, there was something else between them. Elisa reports that it was Kenia who helped Flor, and she apologized to Elisa. They giggle at how pithed off Tia Orangina was with all Elisa’s friends at dinner. And there was something else going on with her too.


GERD: Eat one delicious meal prepared by Lolita. Go to bed and look at Carmina.
Assgusto tells Carmina she was pretty obvious at dinner. Orangina hisses it was Elisa’s low-class friends. It’s too bad she can’t find friends of her own ilk. Assgusto tells her not to be such a snob. Estefania was never like that. (Man, these two really know how to push each other’s buttons!) Orangina explodes, of course not, she is very different from Stef! She doesn’t jump on the first man who comes into their house. (Erm, yes you do.) She accuses him of making eyes at Kenia. It was because of her that he invited them to dinner, right? How many years has it been since he dressed for dinner? He said Gael is going through difficulties and that’s why they were invited to dinner. She hobbles out in a fury to sleep in the spare room. 


Breakfast Humble Pie: Take the heart and manly bits of one hot stallion, add one Damian and fry in a pan until the stallion parts are shriveled. Top with pastry and bake until the workers cheer. Serve with scrambled huevos and a smile.
Gabino strides into work, at last things will be back to normal! “Not so fast,” smirks Maru. Damian strides in behind and wishes them good morning. Maru tells him Don Lucio is waiting in his office.


Lucio says he was surprised to hear Dam is staying. Dam says he called Lucio because he is ready to put together a contract between Los Arango and Elisa. Lucio isn’t sure that Elisa will agree to it. Dam is sure he can convince Elisa.


Holy Guacamole: Mix one roasted habanera with four avocados. Stand back.
Gael is at Casa Castration to meet Elisa. Lolita tells him she was waiting for Don Lucio but when he didn’t show up she left sola. Just then Elisa arrives home and is in a state because again no loans and she is ready to plant las tierras NOW. 


Elisa and Gael ride together to las tierras. She stomps around the fields ripping out old habaneros and crying that she wants to plant. Gael grabs her and promises to help. Everything will turn out, she’ll see. She cries on his shoulder and I swear I hear a bird of prey screeching in the background. Yikes! Up rides Damian and he glares at what he sees. Dude, it’s your own fault for jerking Elisa around and telling Gael to go for it. 



Avances: Paloma tells Elisa about Flor and Enrique. Damian tells Padre he’s making a play for Elisa. Gael and Damian butt heads.

Last night's cliff-hanger (Fred begging Ana not to marry his rival) is swiftly resolved. She shuts him down.

Chacho is still freaking out about the urologist (who he calls "the violator"). Nice to see a case of *male* infertility in the media for a change.

Boy, does Vins look sleazy. He's scheming with his boy hacker via a webcam in a public internet cafe, planning crime and destruction while bored-looking Mexicans check Facebook on either side of him. He's silly in his hat and sunglasses.

Rebe's dad glowers menacingly when he finds out that his ex was out with a younger man, but nothing comes of it. In fact, forget I wrote anything.

Pina lets Kari know that, even though the girl has her support in most things, amor hermoso belongs with Ana. Kari is unconvinced.

I am quite surprised at how little input Enzo is given in his own wedding. He doesn't even know what he'll be wearing, let alone what day the wedding will be. There's a storm in Monterrey, and all the flights have been cancelled. Chela gets really mad, which I could possibly understand if they hadn't thrown this wedding together the day before yesterday! I mean, was she really in such a bridal haze that she did not conceive of scheduling mixups like this? She flips out, and the girls (Candi and Lupita) kind of fall into a sort of a sympathetic freakout. Finally, once he realizes there's no other option, he decides he will drive. I'm somewhat confused at how horrified everyone is by this concept. They all gasp. Drive? Who could conceive of such a barbarity?!

Meanwhile, Frida is asking her boss for some extra money so she can look really good and make Monica jealous. The word she uses is "tupirla," meaning to squeeze or compact. Ew.

In another Pancho-Rebe baby scene, they change diapers and give a rather egregious product placement for some "pure, natural" nappies. Shameless. I guess they're trying to pack 'em in before the show stops, and they couldn't think of anything more subtle.

Kari makes yet another appearance at Fred's house. It's the baby, she says, skip the wedding and come to the doctor with me - I feel weird.

Predictably (I guess Chela saw it coming too), Enzo's car breaks down. He calls her to tell her what happens, but only gets as far as "I've got some bad news" before the cell signal is lost, leaving all the girls back in D.F. in utter hysterics. If only they had brought Pepe with them, Moni whines. Enzo decides to hitchhike, and after some trouble picking up a ride, Enzo employs the nuclear option from the hitchhiker's playbook - doing yoga in front of an oncoming produce truck (personally, I would choose a smaller car to step in front of, on account of its shorter stopping distance). He succeeds, and he and his daughter nestle into the back of the pickup truck, surrounded by luggage and fresh fruit!

Rebe's mom is trying to keep her promise and stay with the babies, but she keeps thinking about her youthful galan. She dumps the kids on Chucha and goes to make mushy eyes at him. He is very sweet to the cougar.

Chela really needs to get a grip. She's going crazy, and even wishes for death (seriously). While Chela bawls, Enzo and daughter get dropped off at the edge of some market somewhere. They get directions and Enzo pays the truck driver to defray his gas costs. Overjoyed, the driver gives a papaya as his mark of esteem. Then the weary travelers (Moni is whinging about the smell of the market) hop on some bicycles, ask for directions, and are on their merry way.

At the hospital (man, this show has really been monopolizing the studio's hospital set this past week or two - maybe shows in their final chapters get priority), Kari comes out of the doc's office in tears. There's been a terrible accident and the baby has been lost. Fred gives her a grudging hug, thinking that he'd rather be at the wedding fuming at Adrian. Either there was really a tragic failure of the pregnancy, or this is Kari's most brazen ploy to date.

The weary cyclists make it up the final hill, and a gasping Enzo thrusts the papaya into Pancho's hands. Someone informs the girls and then the priest, who had been in the process of informing the altar boy and the gilded crucified jesus statue that this wedding was not going to happen (no man, no marriage, right senor?). Enzo and Chela hurry to get dressed in their "traditional" Mexican attire (skin-tight mariachi for him, and I-forget-what-it's-called for her).

The ceremony goes off quite smoothly, except for a brief instant of panic over whether Vins, one of the designated witnesses, would show up. Eventually he does, evincing a foul mood and a ready sneer.

At the reception, though, things get real between Frida and Monica. They lock themselves in the bathroom and have a bit of a scuffle. Ana and Lupita bust down the door (sweet) and break up the fight. I bet Pepe will never hear the end of this from his two sisters.

The bride and groom do a -how can I put this in a culturally sensitive way- goofy dance to "la cucaracha," and everything is wrapped up for today. Tomorrow though, it looks like Fernanda might begin her deathward spiral. Back to the hospital set!

Today on El Talisman:

There were no refrito today, they started right in. Mariana, Cameela and Pedro are still at El Talisman. Mariana is assuring them she will give Pedro the divorce, and Cameela and Pedro thank her. They say they hope Mariana finds love with a new man. Pedro tells her again that she is like a sister to him, and he married her because he promised her Papa he would protect her and look after her. Mariana is like, wait a minute, you don't want to be with me because of Camilla? They tell Mariana she is contradicting herself. They just want Mariana to be happy to find love with another guy. Pedro assures her once again, he has always loved Cameela, never wanted Mariana's money and they only want her to get her memory back so she can see that what they have been telling her has been right all along. Mariana assures them she wants her memory back. Mariana leaves El Talisman and Pedro asks Cameela if she thinks Mariana remembered anything. Cameela doesn't think so. Cameela and Pedro are talking about Mariana not having her memory back and Cameela is jealous, Pedro reminds her he loves her and only her. Liliana, the social worker, has called Pedro and wants him to come to her office, she has something to discuss with him that can't be done over the phone. Pedro and Cameela go to the Social Services.

Domitilla and Tracy are taking a break and are talking about Pedro, Mariana and Cameela. Domi tells Tracy that Mariana isn't well and doesn't remember anything. Tracy says OMG you are so right, she doesn't have her memory back, but Pedro and Cameela should be together, as it was meant to be.

Valentin and Tonio have that gun and Valentin wants to know what Tonio is going to do to Pigorio. Now some of this I didn't get, so please fill in. Tonio asks Valentin if he knows where Lucrazy is. Valentin doesn't know. Valentin is more worried about Mariana. Tonio tells him not to worry about Mariana she won't say anything, because she has no memory of what happened. Tonio says something about a Dr. I didn't quite get, I think it had to do with Lucrazy.

Pigorio and Doris are in the hallway and she tells Pigorio she has come to see her girls. He is yelling at Doris and telling her that if she really loved her girls she wouldn't have left them. She gives it back to him and says what kind of class of Grandpa are you with your morals and something again about pantalones, is it the same as the other day? Please clarify. He tells her she doesn't know anything. He pulls Doris into his office and Doris says the only thing you love is Alcatrash. She says she loves her girls but she won't live there. All of a sudden, not really, but Pigorio grabs her face, and I swear he has got his tongue down her throat, but she is recipircating so at least she is breathing, (this is a big yuck factor for me, jus' saying), anyhoo, Doris breaks the kiss. She looks Pigorio straight in the eye and says she'll stay at Alcatrash only if Pigorio, wait for it, marries her! Pigorio calls her crazy and it will never happen. She can never be the duena of Alcatrash and besides she is a, wait for it *ho*, (now who is calling the kettle black , jus' sayin') She gives it right back to him and says you sure liked the way I kissed you and caressed you, non? He tells her to callate. She tells him the only way she will stay at Alcatrash if he marries her, punto. He offers her money, she wants to know how much. Pigorio says see I knew you didn't love those girls! Doris tells Pigorio she doesn't want the money, only to marry him. He tells her to leave and never come back. Pigorio wants Doris to accept the money. She asks him if this is his last word? He says yes. She says *her* last word is marry me. She kisses him and leaves. He throws his drinks glass against the door and it shatters.

Margarito has left Mariana outside of Manuel's office. She tells the receptionist she is here to see Manuel. Mariana is not looking well and looks dizzy. The receptionist says she'll let Manuel know she is here.

Margarito has gone to see El Capitan and asks him how the investigation is going into his son's death? El Capitan tells him it is still ongoing and he asks Margarito if he thinks Pigorio did it? Margarito says yes. El Capitan tells him that he could be right, but to let them handle it.

Manuel and Maria are in Manuel's office. He gives Maria the file of a patient that is having dreams or trouble sleeping. The receptionist calls Manuel and tells him Magaly(Mariana) is there to see him. He says tell her to come on back. She comes into his office and he asks her if it was hard being with Cameela at El Tal today? Maria excuses herself. Mariana says she thinks she is going crazy. Manuel says lets go home. They go home and he tells Mariana to relax and have some water. Mariana is looking out the window and Manuel asks what she is looking for. She says Santiago. She explains who he is.



Lucrazy is on the border of Alcatrash and El Talisman, and she is having a *vision* of her dressed in what looks like a wedding gown. Tonio is there and tells her Pedro is waiting for her. She wants to know where, he says just there, don't you see him? She walks over, looks down and there is Pedro with a bullet in his head, and he is obviously dead. Lucrazy starts screaming for realz and she is really *screeching* here. Tomas and Geno hear her and ask her what is wrong with her? (Now you know everyone thinks she is crazy, jus' sayin'). She tells them to leave her alone. She doesn't trust Tonio. She actually, wait for it, prays to Dios please let not this vision come true. Tonio comes outside and asks her Que Haces Aqui? She says she is thinking. He is still insisting he is marrying Cameela.



El Capitan and The Investigator (since I don't know his name, this is what I am calling him) are in El Capitan's office. El Capitan tells The Investigator that Pedro told him that Lucrazy tried to kill him. The Investigator asks El Capitan if Pedro pressed charges against her, and if he didn't he should. El Capitan says he hasn't yet. The Investigator says that the Negretes are all murderous thugs (he didn't really say that, but you get the drift).

Margarito has given Mariana a ride to the hospital so she can meet up with Manuel. She says Margarito you knew me when I lived here in Fresno? He says of course he did. She asks him about what happened to her baby? Margarito looks uncomfortable and tells her it is difficult for him to talk about, since he recently lost his own son. She gives him her condolences. Margartio tells Mariana that the loss of her baby was due to Pigorio Negrete and that he used violence against her. Mariana is shocked, violence? She asks Margo if he knows the Pig, he says he does. Margo tells her that Pigorio is muy peligroso, and if you go to Alcatrash again, don't go alone. She tells him she won't go alone again. He also tells her that Pedro stayed with her during this horrible time and took care of her until she disappeared. He also tells Mariana that the only woman Pedro ever loved is Cameela.

Pedro and Cameela are at Social Services meeting with Liliana the social worker. She tells Pedro that Santiago is not an orphan, his mother was deported. He knows that and says he doesn't think Santi has any other relatives. He tells Liliana how he found Santi. Pedro says he and Cami want to adopt Santiago. Liliana says great, lets get the paperwork together, and we need your marriage liscense (Ruh Roh). Liliana tells them Santiago needs both a mother and father that are married to have a stable home. She asks if there is a problem, Pedro-no, Cami-yes. Liliana says aren't you getting married? What about a civil ceremony? Pedro fesses up that he is married to another woman. Liliana wants to know QTH is going on here? You told me you were getting married. They tell him it is a long story. She tells them both to forget about it. Pedro wants to tell her the whole story but Liliana isn't listening. She just says Santiago needs a stable home, punto, and that is that.

Both Margarito and Pedro, seperately, go to visit Santiago. He begs them both, please get me out of here. Both of them tell him, it is going to take some time, both care about him, and to be good and stay where he is at for now. They are doing everything they can to get him out of there.

Pedro and Cameela visit El Capitan and tell him about the problem with Liliana the social worker. Pedro is really pithed at her, for not bending the rules a bit. El Capitan says he will see what he can do, but Liliana is just doing her job. He asks Pedro if he is going to bring charges against Lucrazy for trying to kill him? Pedro says no, (What, then get that alarm system Pedro, jus' sayin'). El Capitan doesn't think that is a good idea, of no charges. Pedro tells Cameela I am marrying you , so no worries, yeah right, sure, sure.

Pigorio and Panchito are in the back forty somewhere, maybe El Talisman and Pigorio is, wait for it, digging a hole! Panchito asks him what is he doing? He tells Panchito stop asking me questions and leave me in peace to dig alone! He says she is mine and noone else's. He stops digging and starts for home. He is out of breath. Pigorio goes to his room and Panchito tells him to chill out and think of his health. Pigorio thinks Doris isn't coming back. Pigorio is coughing and he tells Panchito don't worry I'm not dying yet. Panchito tells Pigorio you really need a pill, so he gives him one from the bedside table (Ruh Roh). Panchito asks him if he is ok? Pigorio says he feels better, but he looks exhausted from all that digging. Pigorio tells Panchito he really needs Doris with him.

Doris runs into Tonio and he asks her Que Haces Aqui? She says she came to visit the girls. He tells her once he marries Cameela ( I have to say here Tonio, note to Tonio, what are you smokin' dude. You belong in the manicomio cause she is never marrying your butt, jus' sayin') Doris won't be able to come to Alcatrash. She tells him I wouldn't be too sure about that. Doris has gone into the girls room and Lucrazy runs into Tonio and he says Doris is here, she says she knows all the yelling and fighting. She tells Tonio to leave her in peace. She tells Tonio she has had enough of his drivel, he is not marrying Cameela, Cameela is marrying Pedro, she says she has had enough of his blithering and illusions to leave her in peace and to stop the insanity already!

There were alot of scenes of Fabi, Army, Angel,Flor about the possiblity of Tonio marrying Cameela which I will condense. Army has to tell Fabi again, it will never happen. Tonio has tried to break up Cameela and Pedro alot, but it hasn't worked, because both know what Tonio is really all about. Flor and Fabi are relying on what Tracy said, but have major doubts. Army tells Angel about Tonio and Lucrazy and the attempts they made to break up Cameela and Pedro. Fabi and Flor are talking about Cameela and Pedro, and Tonio comes upon them and tells them Ya Basta, I AM marrying Cameela, or my name isn't Antonio Negrete,punto, and if you don't like it, I think he threatened them with boarding school again. (Note to Tonio: as if dude, you've been smoking the whacky tabbacy again, huh).

Doris has gone into the girls' room and is talking to them. They want to come live with her, but she tells them she is living with a friend for the moment, and they can't come stay there, but hey you can call me all the time. Flor is afraid that Cameela is coming to live at Alcatrash as Mrs. Tonio Negrete, but Fabi reminds her that Cameela is in love with Pedro and it will never happen.

Cameela and Pedro are back at El Talisman and Cameela asks Pedro if he is ok? He says he is but is worried about Santiago. He wants Santiago to come live with them. The next thing he says is, hey I have this great idea! Why don't Mariana and I adopt Santiago. (Say what??? Now I wonder what Pedro is smoking, is this an epidemic or what?). Cameela looks at him like he's crazy.

Tomorrow on El Talisman:

Lucrazy signs over her half of Alcatrash to Tonio.

****For Thursday 's recap we have the return of Blue Lass for regular Thursday recaps. I am so glad she is joining me with recapping this *hot mess*.
