Casa de Castanon-Master Bedroom
Agosto tells Carmina that he’s been drinking. She tells him that she’s going to sleep in the guest room because now she doesn’t want to sleep with him. He doesn’t look concerned. Procesadora-Reception Area
People are working and moving boxes. Gabino triumphantly enters the office. He announces that everything will now return to normal. With a sly smile, Maru tells him not to be so sure. Damien walks in. Gabino is shocked and so am I that Damien chose to come to work wearing a really super cool crème Members Only jacket with a Fonzarelli collar. Gabino’s back stiffens. Damien walks over to Ingrid and greets her warmly. Maru tells Damien that Don Lucio is waiting in his office. Damien tells Maru to hold his calls. This will be a private conversation. Gabino looks worried.
Procesadora-Damien’s OfficeLucio Kravitz is telling all of Elisa’s business to Damien (I ain’t mad at him). He tells Damien that he’s happy to know that Damien has finally decided to stay. Lucio tells Damien that Elisa can’t get a loan to clear and plant the fields. She needs something to bring to the bank that shows she has a customer. Damien tells Lucio to write the terms of the contract (I think). Lucio says that she won’t accept it. Damien tells him that the agreement will be between her and him and she won’t have to rely about Gabino or Alfonsina. Damien says to leave it to him. He’ll convince her. Not in that jacket.
Casa Castanon-FoyerGael and Lolita are in the foyer. Elisa comes in the house and tells him that the banks won’t talk to her. She slams down her hat. She and Gael leave to look at the fields.
Dead Fields of Elisa Castanon Gael and Elisa arrive at the fields on his horse. He helps her down. She and her big boobs bounce over to the weeds. She is going to clear the fields with bare hands! She’s balling and tearing at the weeds. Gael grabs her and tells her that she has to remain calm. Everything will be alright. He pulls her into his arms and comforts her. Damien approaches on Mr. Ed. Gael sees him, pulls Elisa closer and strokes her hair. They break apart. Damien, still wearing a really super cool crème Members Only jacket with a Fonzarelli collar, dismounts and rushes over to Gael and Elisa. He’s holding a blue and white folder. Oddly, Damien and Elisa are color coordinated. It’s as if they called each other that morning. Gael protectively has his arm wrapped around Elisa as they walk towards Damien. Damien is celos and it shows on his face. Forgive me if I’m interrupting something, he says sarcastically. Gael wants to know why Damien is there. You are messing up my game, man!!!!! he says between gritted teeth. We thought you’d be in Mexico already. Damien says that he’s not going now. Why? She asks. Did you fight with Florencia? (oohhh good one!). Gael explains to Damien that Kenia explained everything to Elisa at the dinner. Damien changes the subject. Lolita told me where you would be. Damien hands her contract! She refuses at first. She doesn’t want any favors. He tells her it’s the same contract that other vendors have to sign. Don’t be so proud. It will be a good start for the two of you (he chokes those words out and tears up when he says it). She takes it. Damien painfully says “I won’t bother you more” and leaves. Gael tells Elisa that Damien doesn’t like seeing them so close. I think she tells Gael that if the shoe were on the other foot, he would fight for her. Help me out.
Casa de Familia CastanonLolita answers the rotary dial phone. What year are they in? Cuz, it’s Paloma calling from Dr. Whipped’s office and she’s sitting in front of a typewriter. She wants to speak with Elisa. Can Elisa come to the clinic? Elisa’s with Gael in her mother’s fields. They just left. Paloma hangs up the phone and looks bummed.
Procesadora-Gabino officeGabino and Ingrid argue. He wants to know why she was talking to Damien. His shirt is unbuttoned revealing his scrumptiously, hairy muscular chest. My fingers are twitching to touch it. Why aren’t I in this scene? He demands to know what’s going on with her. I got big blue Nerf balls, he whines. You ain’t been paying attention to me. You’ve been mean to me! Ingrid tells him not to worry about Damien. He tells her not to play with him. She calms him down with a little smoochy poo. He gets an adorably confused look on his face.
Procesadora-Reception AreaWhen Ingrid walks into the waiting room, Kenia is waiting to speak to her in the reception area. Kenia kisses Ingrid and tells her mother that she’s rented a hotel room in town. She’s coming back to La Ermita. Ingrid is outwardly annoyed. Maru wants to know who that girl is. She’s someone that I can’t get rid of.
Casa de Arango-Florencia’s BedroomFinally! Positive proof that these are not real Italians! The “Italians” are fighting. No one is talking with their hands or pounding on the table. I knew it! Guido says that they are leaving. Florencia doesn’t want to leave until Damien forgives her for tongue wrangling with Enrique behind the barn. Her father tells her that what she did was very bad; she’s getting a spanking when they get back to Mexico (she even will have to pick her own switch off the tree). Paolo, chilling in a chair, is listening to the whole thing. Florencia blames Paolo and says that she should have never listened to him. She knew it was the wrong thing to do. Paolo says that he merely suggested it. She’s a big girl. He didn’t make her clean Enrique’s uvula in plain view. Paolo tells them to have a good trip. Dad says their leaving in two hours.
Casa de Castanon-Carmina’s VanityCarmina is sitting in front of her vanity. Must I be treated to two images of her? Anyways, she’s imaging her secret tryst with Paolo at the smut shack baby smut shack. She’s interrupted by Lolita who is there to move so things into the guest room? She wants to know if they are Agosto’s or Carminas. Carmina says that they are hers (I think). Carmina continually fluffs her hair during the conversation. Carmina says that her stuff stays in the guest room? Lolita wants to know why Carmina wants doesn’t pay attention to her husband anymore. Carmina says that she shouldn't have to explain anything. She is going to live and let live. I didn’t get this conversation. If anyone else has an interpretation, go for it.
Casa de Castanon-Agosto’s officeAgosto remembers Kenia coming out of the cenote. She’s cute and has a very nice shape, but she ain’t no Gabino.
Casa de Arango-Alfonsina’s officeGuido tries to give the check back to Alfonsina. He doesn’t feel right about taking the check after all his family has put her through. She won’t accept it. She hopes their friendship won’t be affected by what occurred between their kids. He thanks her, swears to pay her back and leaves. The phone rings. It’s Ingrid. She wants to discuss her blackmail threats over the phone. I don’t recommend this. Alfonsina wants to know what she told Damien. You were there. You heard the whole thing. I told him that I was Gael’s mother. I want his help making Gael forgive me. I told him that Gael’s father was a well-respected man in La Ermita. Alfonsina tells her that Damien could have guessed that Gael was Rosendo's. Ingrid gives Alfonsina another opportunity to give up the Benjamins. Alfonsina tells her to name the place. Ingrid is not allowed at her house.
ProcesadoraDamien is still sporting his really super cool crème Members Only jacket with a Fonzarelli collar. Enrique comes in and gives his two-week notice. Damien tells him that he doesn’t mix business with his personal life. He is not gonna fire Enrique. He asks Enrique how he feels about Florencia. Enrique says he loves her, but she loves Damien. Damien tells Enrique that she’s all his and thanks him for helping him to see the light. He thanks him, but also says that they will never be friends.
Casa de Castanon-FoyerLucio encourages Elisa to sign the contract. He helped Damien write the contract. She has her pride and doesn’t want anything from Damien. He tells her to learn to separate business from matters of the heart. She will never make it if she can’t do that. She’s continues to protest. She’s getting on his nerves and mine. He grabs his hat and bounces. Unfortunately, I can’t storm out with him because I have committed myself to watching on Friday nights. Her lower lip quivers.
Castanon Green FieldsDon Agosto is angry because Gael is late for work again. Gael explains that he was in Elisa’s fields. Then Gael Kravitz tells ALL of Elisa’s business to her father. He says he’s only telling him because he is going to find out anyway. If he knew her menstrual cycle, I’m sure he would have shared that with him too. Gael tells Agosto all about Damien giving Elisa a contract. Question: Why are all 20 of the field hands (dressed in white) picking crops in the same exact spot?
Casa de Castanon-Elisa’s BedroomElisa flies into her room and slams down her hat. Lolita happens to be in there. Why do I have so many complicated problems? The contract. Her father. Don Lucio. Gael’s feelings. Damien. Why did Lolita tell Damien where she was? Why didn’t Damien go to Mexico? Her life is so complicated. Lolita says it’s obvious. He found out that Florencia was never preggers. Elisa discounts that explanation and says that Damien knew that chick was lying long before now. It has to be something else. She’s also annoyed that Damien told Gael to go for her. Lolita tells her to talk to Damien. Nah, she’s not going to do that. She’d rather complain. Lolita tells her that Paloma called and asked her to stop by the clinic. Lolita tells Elisa that she told Paloma that she was in the fields with Gael. Another problem. Great. Commercial.
Castanon Green FieldsAgosto and Gael are having an intense discussion about Elisa, the fields, Damien and the contract. Agosto says that Elisa will sign that contract over his dead body. Kenia interrupts. Did I come at a bad time? She’s come to talk to Gael (hopefully, it’s not to tell him a secret). Agosto immediately calms down, sprints around Gael and dives across a dirt road into order to get into the Kenia end zone first. He tells her that he and Gael were discussing problems at work. He is all up in her personal space. I’m here to talk to Gael, back up buddy. Lobo leaves her, but sits at a nearby table and stares at her while licking his chops. Kenia tells Gael that she knew Ingrid before she came to La Ermita. She met her the day she fell off the moto traveling the break-necking speed of 5 miles an hour. According to Kenia, on that day, Ingrid told her that she abandoned a baby at a church. Ingrid tried to comfort her by telling her that story. She tells him not to trust Ingrid because she doesn’t have good intentions. I didn’t understand the entire conversation. If someone has a better interpretation, go for it.
Hotel-Ingrid’s RoomAlfonsina gives Ingrid a check. Cha Ching! Ingrid says Alfonsina’s been very generous. The check is for more that she thought she was going to get out of her. “That’s it. You’ll get no more. Get out of Dodge”. Alfonsina says that she’ll leave in about two days, she needs to wrap things up with Gael. What real blackmailer will accept a check? I don’t recommend this. I’m always afraid that they’ll stop payment or something or I’ll misplace it.
Casa de Arango-FoyerFlorencia’s bags are packed. She’s waiting with her father in the foyer. Damien walks in. Guido apologizes to Damien. When they get to Mexico, she will be put in the Time Out corner immediately. Guido leaves the two alone. She tries to explain and begs for forgiveness. He doesn’t want to hear it. He doesn’t love her as much as he thought he did. She tells him that he will regret dumping her for Elisa. He doesn’t seem to give a flying burrito.
Dr. No Longer Whipped OfficePaloma wants to know if it’s true that Elisa was in the fields with Gael. Yes and I started crying, so he comforted me in his arms. It was wonderful! Don’t ya wish you were me? Paloma does not look happy about that. Elisa assures her that she’s not interested in Gael. She goes on: Right while we were about to make out, Damien comes riding up on Mr. Ed and he gets all jealous. Paloma tells Elisa that Damien caught Florencia and Enrique swapping spit behind the barn. Elisa is shocked. Paloma heard the whole thing when Mrs. Kravitz was talking to the Doctor. Commercial.
Casa de ArangoMrs. Kravitz apologizes for her son kissing Florencia. Alfonsina doesn’t care. She’s got major revenge to plot. You are the least of my concerns. She gives Mrs. Kravitz the big pointy stiletto and shoves her out the door! Alfonsina calls Gabino. Get your furry little chest over here!
RestauranteKenia is disgruntled because her mother is late. She wants to know why Ingrid wouldn’t let her give her a ride to the restaurant. Ingrid shows Kenia the check she got from Alfonsina. I got more money out of her that you did. Kenia agrees that its big chedder, but points out that Ingrid could have scored more if Gael got half of the Arango fortune. Ingrid agrees, but says Kenia messed up her game plan by coming to town. Even if Gael knows he’s an Arango, he hates Ingrid and will never give her a cent. She points out that he will eventually hate Kenia when he finds out that she’s is sister and has been deceiving him. Kenia says that she doesn’t care if he knows. She’ll stay his friend forever. She likes her brother. Kenia tells Ingrid that she better leave town immediately because Alfonsina knows that Ingrid knows that Damien and Gael are hermanos. She might have an accident, unnatural disaster or there may be a misunderstanding if Ingrid does not leave town soon.
IglesiaFather Lupe and Gael are arguing about Elisa. They both have great hair. They are screaming, waving handkerchiefs in the air and pounding on tables. Hmmmmmm. They may be Italian. Padre tells Gael that Damien is in love with Elisa and that he needs to accept it. Gael will not accept it. He tells Lupe that Damien told him to fight for Elisa.
Casa de Arango-Alfonsina’s OfficeAlfonsina wants to know if Gabino is loyal to her. He says yes. Does he know that chick named Ingrid that works in her procesadora? Yeppers, but not very well. I hired her because we needed a secretary. Alfonsina tells Gael to get rid of Ingrid. Make her disappear. Gabino is shocked down to his big blue NERF balls. Commercial.
Casa de Arango-Alfonsina’s OfficeGosh, he looks so adorable when he’s confused. With a straight face, Gabino tells Alfonsina that he is not a murderer. She says that she didn’t ask him to kill anyone. Are we being recorded? She (winks) just wants Ingrid to disappear. Did I say I wanted her dead (wink wink)? She only slept with my husband, had his baby, gave the baby to my brother so that I have to stare at him every day and now she’s back for more money. Why on earth would I want her dead? We’re not being recorded right? Scare her out of town. She doesn’t want her in La Ermita, much less at her procesadora. The NERF balls want to know why. Alfonsina says that none of his business. Just follow orders. He leaves.
Hotel-Ingrid’s RoomIngrid stops to admire her new shiny check, puts it in a Bible, and they puts it in her purse. Ingrid is quickly packing her grip. She appears to be following orders and getting out of Dodge City.
Casa de Kenia
Kenia rents a Pepto Bismal pink house. She gives the owner a check for a year in advance and gets a key.
ClinicElisa and Paloma discuss Florencia and how the grand love that she felt for Damien was a complete lie. Paloma tells her to go after Damien. No one will bother them now. Besides, it will keep you’re a$$ away from Gael. Elisa tells Paloma that she shouldn’t be worried about her. Paloma should be worried about Kenia.
La Hermita MercadoI want Ramona’s basket AND her bag. They are FA BU LOUS! She can keep the straw hat and the FDLS skirt. She and Lolita are walking out of the Mercado. Lolita has come to the market to find Horacio. She’s met him there in the past and he has helped her. Ramona gives Lolita a love candle. The flame of the candle will bring news of that man to her.
Arango StablesDamien (still wearing that really super cool crème Members Only jacket with the Author Fonzarelli collar) asks Horacio if Mr. Ed is saddled up. He’s going for a ride. Gael is cussing and storming towards them. Horacio jumps in between them.
Horacio: Hold up! Man, don’t roll up on my boy like that! Back up!Damien: I got this. He ain’t gonna do jack.
Horacio: Well then, handle your business! I’ll step off.
Gael: Are you mackin’ on Elisa?
Damien says, Ya damn skippy, I am. She’s cute and her body’s banging!
Gael tells Damien that he’s been in La Ermita the entire time and he’s not going to let Damien just step in and take her away from him. He’s not going out like that. Casa de Castanon-Kitchen
Lolita is putting away the groceries that she bought at the market. She’s wearing some really cute earrings. Agosto’s enters the kitchen. He’s lost his woman and his kid. He asks Lolita if she’s seen them. Elisa’s visiting Paloma at the clinic. She tells him that he needs to change his mood cause he’s always angry. She tells him that she has moved his stuff to the guest room? I am confused about this musical room thing (please someone interpret). He wants to know where is wife is. She doesn’t know. Smut Shack Baby Smut Shack
Paolo and Carmina are kissing…loudly and frankly, I am annoyed. In telenovelas, kisses should be seen and not heard. I can’t hear the dialog over the all that unnerving smacking. I never thought I’d say this, but please let them feign tongue kissing because the smacking is driving me nuts and not in a good way. From what I can gather, Carmina wants Paolo to continue to harass Elisa until he gets her. Paolo say he’s a little hesitant considering in the past week or so, he’s been pulverized by Damien and had a sawed-off shoved into his face by Agosto for breathing next to Elisa. Carmina says she hates Elisa and blames her for her baby’s death. She also says that Elisa is the cause of her marriage failing. Back at the Casa de Castanon-Foyer and Elisa’s Bedroom
Thanks to Gael Kravitz, Agosto demands to see the contract as soon as Elisa enters the house. He wants her to give him the contract. He will not allow her to do business with an Arango. His father took his wife from him! She says that it’s her business, not his. Oh my gosh, Becky! Her boobs are so big! He tells her that she can’t make that deal with Damien. He’s tossing the room, like he’s the DEA and the shepherds just alerted. He wants to know where she’s hidden it. She says that she has nothing to hide! He finds it! She grabs it and he tries to forcibly take it from her. Lolita jumps in between them! She will not allow him to hurt Elisa. You can fight me, but unlike your daughter, I’ll fight you back! AND I FIGHT DIRTY! (I just added that in. It would have been cool if she said it!) Elisa cowers behind her. He considers taking on Lolita, but she stares him down. He leaves. Annnnnnnnd on queue. Sobs and Tears.The Cenote
Dam Fine dismounts from his proud, white stallion and tightly secures its leather reigns to a near-by, low-hanging, oak branch. Urgent fingers, tearing at buttons, rush to release a body shackled by the constraints of a white linen prison! He marches towards the placid, clear water. Although once bound, his torso has suddenly been set free! Rapidly, Dam Finer yanks the shirt from his 300-like frame! Crouching down, he draws the cool water with a bandana of blue. Guided by powerful hands, the bandana slowly glides over his heated flesh. The delightful strawberry birthmark stamped sternum, his only imperfection. Damp blue material continues its voyage across his vast chest; beads of moisture roll over the tiny valleys of his abdomen and continue down the path of a very happy tra…Ramona! Now is not the time for your Jedi mind trick, Mayan mystical, mumbo jumbo crap! Why isn’t she wearing a bell? Oh Joy! She’s there to advise him and unfortunately, that advice is not for him to unbutton his jeans. Thanks to the unwelcome distractions, he STOPS washing himself and walks over to her. He certainly works out because those pecs are all plumped up! Blah blah blah, she says that she knew he would never leave La Ermita. He sure has a beautiful body profile. He says her advice is silly. I agree. This is not the time. He wipes is neck. More delicious moisture running down his ribs! Hard swallow by this recapper. Is she a eunic? Cuz she doesn’t seem affected by this. Blah Blah Blah friendship will last forever. Dam! There was another profile shot. Dam! There a back shot! Blah Blah! Blah! Some friendships will last forever and a woman won’t come between them. Great! She’s done? Skedaddle! This scene has stirred up many feelings in me that I am ashamed to express.
One last happy thought before I go. This was the last scene, so it will be the first scene on Monday. Oh Yes! Yes! Yes!Labels: abismo

El Mundo de Telemundo, Week of May 14, 2012: Discuss Amongst Yourselves
Hi guys! Here's a fresh page for the week's conversation.
Just in case you're interested and you have access to the channel...
MUN2 (or "MunDos"), Telemundo's bilingual baby brother, will be airing Ojo por ojo starting May 21 at 10pm central time. This 2010 Telemundo/RTI Colombia production has been shown in Latin America but this will be its premiere in the United States. The screenplay is based on Laura Restrepo's novel, El leopardo al sol. (Restrepo also wrote the novel on which Flor salvaje was based.) The cast of Ojo por ojo includes Miguel Varoni, Gaby Espino, Gregorio Pernia and Carmen Villalobos. Might be interesting, no?

Abismo de pasión #44 5/10/12: No Reservations Allowed for the Passion Pit Smorgasbord
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.

Una Familia Con Suerte #245-246 Thu 5/10/12 Fernanda sings her swan song, dressed as a flamingo.
Happy fun repeat of wedding dancing and horsetacular
departure.
Lo nuevo:
Alone, in a quiet room…
Moni: I still love you and always will. Say, nice jewelry. I
sincerely hope you will end up very happy with Frida even though you’re only
marrying her out of spite.
Pepe: That is totally not how it is (and if I say it enough, maybe I can convince myself).
Moni: If you say so. Lemme give you a kiss goodbye. SWAK! Aha! You do still love me! Good luck with Frida.
Pepe: Crap, now what?
Pepe: That is totally not how it is (and if I say it enough, maybe I can convince myself).
Moni: If you say so. Lemme give you a kiss goodbye. SWAK! Aha! You do still love me! Good luck with Frida.
Pepe: Crap, now what?
Babypalooza…
Fernanda: What sweet babies you are! Abue loves you,
although your parents seem a little indifferent, what with their not bothering
to think up names for you and all. Say, why did those nutjobs make the nursery
spin?
Pancho, RebeJr, RebeSr: Oh noes! Fernanda is sick!
Pancho, RebeJr, RebeSr: Oh noes! Fernanda is sick!
Da hood…
Pep boy: Well, that was a lovely time, even though my
sisters had to break up your stupid fight.
Frida: Love ya.
Pepe: I love you, too.
Frida: Thanks, liar.
Pepe: Crap, now what?
Frida: Love ya.
Pepe: I love you, too.
Frida: Thanks, liar.
Pepe: Crap, now what?
Honeymoon heaven…
Enzo: I have a secret, and I’m not going to tell you!
Chela: Whatever. Paquito needs a sister. Let’s get to it, bombon.
Chela: Whatever. Paquito needs a sister. Let’s get to it, bombon.
The room of doom…
Pancho: Let’s go to the hospital!
Fernanda: No! I want to die here! I’m sick of the hospital set! Gather the family round and promise you won’t run Avon into the ground!
Doc Oc: It’s been wonderful, mi amor.
Fernanda: I’m so sorry I’m leaving you alone.
Fernanda: No! I want to die here! I’m sick of the hospital set! Gather the family round and promise you won’t run Avon into the ground!
Doc Oc: It’s been wonderful, mi amor.
Fernanda: I’m so sorry I’m leaving you alone.
Afterglow…
Enzo: Salud, mi amor! Do not answer that phone!
Chela: They know we’re on our honeymoon; they wouldn’t call if it weren’t important… Egad! Doña Fer is dying!
Chela: They know we’re on our honeymoon; they wouldn’t call if it weren’t important… Egad! Doña Fer is dying!
Big house…
Vile Vice, alone: ‘Bout time you croaked, old thing.
Rest of family: Sob! Don’t die!
Rest of family: Sob! Don’t die!
Pina’s place…
Pina and Sebastián: slurp smack swak slobber
Ado: Wooo-hoooo!!!
Pina: Good NIGHT, Voyeuración.
Ado: Looks like you’ll be having a BETTER night.
Pina: Good idea. Off we go, Sebas.
Ado: Wooo-hoooo!!!
Pina: Good NIGHT, Voyeuración.
Ado: Looks like you’ll be having a BETTER night.
Pina: Good idea. Off we go, Sebas.
She isn’t resting in peace yet; she’s still smelling the
sulfur…
Vice: How dare you not give me everything I ever wanted and
don’t deserve, you mean old witch! You’re lucky you won’t live to see me ruin
that upstart Pancho!
Fernanda: I will not allow it! All your problems are your own fault, you selfish greedy loveless ingrate! Okay, enough of you. Bring back the people who actually love me so I can say goodbye.
Fernanda: I will not allow it! All your problems are your own fault, you selfish greedy loveless ingrate! Okay, enough of you. Bring back the people who actually love me so I can say goodbye.
Fernanda says sweet things to everyone individually…well,
she doesn’t get to Chela, Enzo, Candy, or MamaRebe, but maybe she didn’t have
anything to say to them…and then that’s that. Everyone sobs. Long scene of Doc
Oc saying goodbye, in which you can totally see Fernanda breathing. She moves
her eyes a little, too. I know, I should pretend I don’t see it, but I don’t
want to dwell on the dying. Rebe comes and reassures Doc Oc that they are his
family and he isn’t left alone.
Outside…
Vile Vice: Now’s my chance, while he’s all weak and
vulnerable, bwahahahaha!!!
Next day…funeral home…everyone in black and looking blue…
Pancho gives a short tribute which is nice and yet somehow
manages to be more about him than about Fernanda.
Frida doesn’t let the circumstances stop her from being
nasty and jealous of Moni, although they do refrain from brawling on the
coffin. Moni hugs Pepe longer than Frida finds necessary and reminds Pepe that
she loves him.
Freddy also hugs Ana, but for once Adrián isn’t hanging on
her like a barnacle and snarling at Freddy.
Vice’s Avon lair…
Señor Don David: Dude, I can walk through the lobby and
corridors of Avon with a cartoon face and not be stopped. Disabling the
security cameras and using the distraction of a fire alarm to shuffle millions
of monies into an offshore account and make it look like Pancho did it is a
piece of cake.
Vice: Awesome. Now let’s just stroll out, whistling and looking all nonchalant and totally innocent.
Vice: Awesome. Now let’s just stroll out, whistling and looking all nonchalant and totally innocent.
So the lights are flashing and the alarms sounding and the
sprinklers soaking everything, and Vice and Señor Don David are in the server
room working the black magic. Yeah, no one will be suspect Vice, even though
pretty much everyone else is at the funeral. Cartoonface takes the opportunity
to shake more money out of Vice. Too bad Tomás isn’t on security detail now!
Back at the house…
Fernanda joins Laurita in the family shrine. It’s handy how
the shrine is right next to the bar. Also, that is a freakishly nonreflective
mirror behind the bar. What is that supposed to be?
Casa ChelaEnzo…
Enzo: I still have a surprise for you! But I’m still not
telling you! It’s in Monterrey.
Chela: Okay, I’ll go find out tomorrow.
Chela: Okay, I’ll go find out tomorrow.
Restaurant…
Freddy: Bad form not to go to the funeral, Dads.
Vice: I hate dead people. Plus, los Lopez. Yuck.
Freddy: Enough. Boo, Ana is marrying that barnacle.
Vice: Bummer, dude. What’s the scene with Karina?
Freddy: Baby went buh-bye. So that’s that.
Vice: No baby! Hello, Ana! Go for it!
Vice: I hate dead people. Plus, los Lopez. Yuck.
Freddy: Enough. Boo, Ana is marrying that barnacle.
Vice: Bummer, dude. What’s the scene with Karina?
Freddy: Baby went buh-bye. So that’s that.
Vice: No baby! Hello, Ana! Go for it!
Casa Pina…
Ado: Soooo, Sebas…how was it?!?!
Sebas: None of your beeswax, you adorable weirdo.
Pina: Get lost, Ado dear.
Sebas: None of your beeswax, you adorable weirdo.
Pina: Get lost, Ado dear.
Restaurant…
Freddy: How is it you were so desperate to be with Candy,
and then it’s over, just like that?
Vice: When the chase is over, the thrill is gone. Gotta find fresh meat.
Freddy: Ew. So you’ve found new prey?
Vice: Nah, just a little snack of roadkill here and there.
Freddy: So why are you so giddy?
Vice: Bwahahahahaha!!! Er, I mean, no reason.
Vice: When the chase is over, the thrill is gone. Gotta find fresh meat.
Freddy: Ew. So you’ve found new prey?
Vice: Nah, just a little snack of roadkill here and there.
Freddy: So why are you so giddy?
Vice: Bwahahahahaha!!! Er, I mean, no reason.
Lovey dovey supportive Pancho and Rebe scene. Those babies
are so cute.
Avon…where somehow everything is not soaked…
And we learn that the property Pancho bought actually has
four separate homes. One is Lupita’s guardería (has anyone been working there
lately?), one is Chacho’s place, one is Tomas’s, and one is empty. He offers it
to Pina for the Pipa foundation.
Monterrey…
Enzo presents to Chela the beautiful and huge palace he has
bought for them. It even seems to come with pets! She does not seem
sufficiently thrilled. I’ll take it and you, Enzo.
Casa Lopez…
Ana: Get lost, corn hair! I’m not interested in anything you
have to say!
Kari: I just want Freddy to be happy. He loves you.
Ana: Well, that train has left the station!
Kari: I lost the baby!
Ana: Oh, no! What happened? That’s so sad! Why did you tell me this?
Kari: Truly, I want Freddy to be happy.
Kari: I just want Freddy to be happy. He loves you.
Ana: Well, that train has left the station!
Kari: I lost the baby!
Ana: Oh, no! What happened? That’s so sad! Why did you tell me this?
Kari: Truly, I want Freddy to be happy.
Building K…
Pepe: This episode needs some perking up, so here I am
answering the door in a towel.
Moni: Now that is a view I can appreciate! Oopsie, dropped my keys down there by my shapely gams. Be a dear and pick them up? I brought breakfast.
Peppy: I’ll run get dressed.
Moni: No need.
Moni: Now that is a view I can appreciate! Oopsie, dropped my keys down there by my shapely gams. Be a dear and pick them up? I brought breakfast.
Peppy: I’ll run get dressed.
Moni: No need.
Avon…
Lamberto: There’s been a fraud!
Pancho: Gasp!
Lamby: Yep, lots o’dough, off to vacation in the Caymans. And it looks like you did it.
Pancho: That’s ridiculous! Why would I steal from myself? Wait a minute…Iracheta!
Pancho: Gasp!
Lamby: Yep, lots o’dough, off to vacation in the Caymans. And it looks like you did it.
Pancho: That’s ridiculous! Why would I steal from myself? Wait a minute…Iracheta!
Monterrey mansion…
Chela: Ummm…it’s nice and all, but who said I wanted to move
to Monterrey?
Enzo: I’ve missed you so much! And I really like the job here. I don’t have to spend the whole day listening to Vice whine.
Chela: But we should make big decisions like this together!
Enzo: Fine, I’ll just sell the house then. Pout.
Enzo: I’ve missed you so much! And I really like the job here. I don’t have to spend the whole day listening to Vice whine.
Chela: But we should make big decisions like this together!

Telephony…
Ana: Freddy, I can’t believe you sent corn hair to tell me
about the baby!
Freddy: I did no such thing! Hello?!
Freddy: I did no such thing! Hello?!
Avon…
Pancho: How dare you!
Vice: Who, me? I am so sweet and innocent!
Pancho: You are not fooling anyone! Look at this!
Vice: Wow! You stole a lot of money!
Pancho: AAAAAARRRRRGHHHHH!!!!
Vice: Who, me? I am so sweet and innocent!
Pancho: You are not fooling anyone! Look at this!
Vice: Wow! You stole a lot of money!
Pancho: AAAAAARRRRRGHHHHH!!!!
Building K…
Moni: You’re so much like your father, which I am
contractually obligated to say because Pancho Lopez is the source of all
goodness and must be praised at every opportunity. Yet fortunately you are not
that much like him, so I love you and find you attractive.
Pepe: Fab. So, why are you here?
Moni: Just want to see how you’re holding up. So, are you really going to marry Frida? Do you love her?
Pepe: Of course!
Moni: You’re a terrible liar. Let me feel you up whilst reminding you that you love me me me.
Pepe: What are you doing?
Moni: Seducing you. Is it working?
Pepe: Yep.
Pepe: Fab. So, why are you here?
Moni: Just want to see how you’re holding up. So, are you really going to marry Frida? Do you love her?

Pepe: Yep.
PIPA headquarters/guardería…
Sebas: Great place, but stupid name for your charity.
Pina: Whatever. It’s going to be awesome.
Sebas: We gotta go. Avon emergency.
Pina: Well, the mascara will have to clump a minute longer. Ana, are you really going to marry that barnacle? Freddy loves you. Give him another chance.
Pina: Whatever. It’s going to be awesome.

Pina: Well, the mascara will have to clump a minute longer. Ana, are you really going to marry that barnacle? Freddy loves you. Give him another chance.
Babyville…
Rebe Sr: I really like Pablo, but I’m suspicious. Why is a
young guy into an old thing like me?
Rebe Jr: I want to meet him.
Rebe Sr: Hey, babies! Want to meet your new stepgrandpa?
Rebe Jr: I want to meet him.
Rebe Sr: Hey, babies! Want to meet your new stepgrandpa?
Monterrey, telecom office…
Enzo: Why are you still talking? I’ll sell the house. Grr.
But I’m too busy to talk about it.
Chela: I’m not mad about the house; I’m annoyed that you made the decision without talking to me!
Enzo: I said I’d sell it! I’m busy!
Chela: You’re not listening to me! We’ll move here! It’s horrible being separated!
Enzo: Yay!
Chela: I’m not mad about the house; I’m annoyed that you made the decision without talking to me!

Chela: You’re not listening to me! We’ll move here! It’s horrible being separated!
Enzo: Yay!
Avon…
Pancho: It had to have been Vice! He’s out to get me!
Sebas: But how did he get into the account? It isn’t easy to do. And it’s a lot of money, more than anyone would expect to steal without it being noticed.
Pancho: We need an auditor to look into it.
Sebas: We have to move fast, before someone accuses you of embezzling it.

Moni: Ahhhh. We cannot be separated.
Doorbell: Ring!
Moni: Do not answer that!
Peppy: I have never seen a telenovela, so I think it’s probably a neighbor.
Frida: Dartañan! SMOOCH!
Pepe: Gulp.
Frida: Breakfast for two… a purse… AHA! I accuse La Francesa, in the bedroom, with the…lead pipe, let’s say.
Pepe: Calm down, okay?
Frida: Have you met me?
Moni: Whoa there, Tasmanian devil. I will just wrap myself in the sheet and step aside whilst my lover and his fiancée wrestle in my bed.

about your relationship.
Pablo: Me, too.
Rebe: I doubt it.
Pablo: Me, too.
Rebe: I doubt it.
Building K…
Pepe’s forehead is bleeding and he’s got Frida in a
headlock, with his legs wrapped around her. Moni leaves them alone for a chat.
Frida: Do you even remember that we are engaged? You just run right over here to fall in bed with her?
Pepe: I’m really sorry for hurting you.
Frida: I am heartbroken!
Frida: Do you even remember that we are engaged? You just run right over here to fall in bed with her?
Pepe: I’m really sorry for hurting you.
Frida: I am heartbroken!
In the sala, on phone…
Moni: Daddy, that’s great that Chela and the baby are moving into the royal palace in Monterrey! What’s also great is that we are not on videophone!
Enzo: Yay, we will all live together!
Moni: Er, I am not going to be moving to Monterrey. It would make my renewed boinkage with Pepe so much less convenient.

El Talismán #72 Thu 5/10/12 Friqueando en Fresno
El Tal: Friqui
Camila, Friqui Sarita
Pedro is detailing to Camila his alternate Plan B for
everybody’s life, in which he and Mariana adopt Santiago,
which gives Camila another chance to say “¿¿QUÉ??” really loud. She tells him
this is not the brightest idea he has ever had, which is saying a lot.
Out on the lawn, Sarita is screeching to the Padre about
Gabriel’s lack of enthusiasm for her Barbie Dream House Wedding. Margarito
tries to interrupt, but Sarita is totally plotzing and won’t let him leave.
Finally the Padre disentangles himself by promising to speak very firmly to Gab,
and Margarito drags him off to intervene in the latest Pedro-Camila dustup.
Gabriel has a bro-talk with Juancho over a manly wheelbarrow
full of stuff. He confesses that he’s feeling pressured to marry Sarita.
Juancho asks if she’s preggers -- well, no. Then what’s the big deal? Gab
explains that the Padre was like a father to both of them at the orphanage,
which makes the whole thing sound kind of incestuous, but anyway, his opinion
counts big and he doesn’t think he can go against it. Juancho observes that
he’s in a world of hurt, then, isn’t he?
Apartamento Bermudez: Friqui Mariana, Friqui Elvira
Manuel has pulled out his Headshrinking Your Pretend
Daughter handbook and is leading Mariana through some kind of senseless
visualization exercise. He walks her through opening the little suitcase…seeing
the baby clothes…taking them out…then he asks her if she “senses a living being
near her.” Dude, that’s not a therapy session; it’s a séance. Apparently Mariana
thinks so too, and she jumps up off the couch chittering that she doesn’t want
to remember, doesn’t want to know, doesn’t care who she was before – Daddy, can’t
we just go back to LA? I want to be Magaly again! Maybe he skipped to the
past-life regression chapter.
Next he tries to get her into some art therapy, but all she
comes up with is a piece of typing paper covered with squiggles in number-two
pencil. He could at least have given her some crayons, jeez. Her disappointing
artwork gets her so overwrought that he has to sedate her. Then he bops off to
his real job and leaves her alone, virtually guaranteeing that someone crazy
will come knockin’.
Sure enough, ding-dong: it’s Elvira! She starts off only
half-crazed and manages to squeak out a coherent sentence or two about how Mariana
owes her money, but Mariana isn’t buying it. I don’t even know who *I* am, she
says, so how am I supposed to know who *you* are? Elvira starts panting and
rolling her eyes. I’m your adoptive father’s ex-girlfriend, she says – at least
I was until my ratty sister broke us up! I thought it was the other way around,
Mariana replies calmly. That sedative is really working for her. Elvira cycles
through a colorful series of marmot-calls before Mariana finally tells her to
leave or she will call the police.
Abogados de los Negrete: Non-Friqui Lucrezia, Which Is Friqui in Itself
The lawyer asks Lucrezia a lot of pointed questions about
whether she is signing over her portion of El Traz of her own free will,
whether she is under any compulsion, etc. Amazingly she appears dramatically
less crazy than usual, so the lawyer has no choice but to approve the transfer.
Tonio is pleased.
Lucrezia reminds her brother that his part of this deal is
to separate Pedro from “those two witches.” Hmm, let’s see: when Tonio started
“helping” her Pedro had less than one actual 3-D wife, and now he has two. Not
only are things not resolved, but they don’t even seem to be moving in the
right direction. Think, girl.
El Traz: Friqui Pig
Pigorio’s been popping the poison pills at an even higher
frequency than usual, and it’s not going well. He topples sideways on the bed
and sends Val for a doctor, but Val goes right to Tonio, who says that no
doctor crosses the threshold without his express approval.
Meanwhile, Doris flaps into her
daughters’ room and makes some vague maternal noises. Fabi tells her Tonio
threatened to send her away, and Doris points out that she is menor de edad and can’t be sent anywhere
without her mother’s approval. The girls say they want to come and live with Doris,
but she makes excuses and flaps away again. Fabi tells Flo that clearly Mom is
not an option; they’ll have to make other plans.
Police Station: Friqui Santiago
The social worker tells Santi that they are working on
finding him some nice foster parents who actually know how many people they are
married to. Santi is hysterical, and not in a good way. Hell no, he won’t go!
He only wants Pedro and Margarito! Remind me: why does anybody want to adopt
this kid? He appears to have no personality whatsoever and he makes a lot of noise.
Oficina Star-Crossed: Friqui María
Manuel sidles up to María – well, frontals up, actually –
and plants a nice hot kiss on her. She doesn’t exactly kiss him back, but she
doesn’t exactly resist either. I still love you, he tells her, as much as I did
the first time I saw you – and don’t deny it, you love me, too! She says she
doesn’t deny it, but she doesn’t want to talk about love. She made a promise to
her sister. What promise? She breaks away and runs out the door. Then they both
wander around for a while talking out loud to themselves, which is a great
advertisement for the psychiatric services at The Only Hospital in Fresno.
Manuel’s maunderings are interrupted by Raúl, who dashes in
to have a quick conversation about how cute it is that Manuel’s trying to win
María back and oh, by the way, I’m Mariana’s godfather and Pigorio killed her
baby. (Now was that so hard? We couldn’t have done this a little sooner, maybe?) Then
my captions say [SONIDO DE BIPPER] and he runs off.
Avance:
Lucrezia is threatening to kill Camila, but for which of the
many available reasons is not clear. [Yawn.]

Abismo de pasión #43 5/9/12: Villains celebrate victory but... it is getting HOT.. HOT.. .HOT... at La Ermita, and the heat is making some pranks backfire...
Recap by Marta Ivett
Old beans:
Elisa tells Lolita her dad keeps distrusting her. Lola says that is because of all the gossip about your momma. Elisa tells her about Ramona saying that some day the truth will be revealed. Lola says if Ramona says so, it must be true. Elisa senses Ramona knows something else but won’t tell her about it.
Ramona and Paloma talk about Gael and what it must feel like not having a family and suddenly your parent shows up out of nowhere after you believed they were dead.
Ramona asks Paloma what would she feel like to learn your parents are not dead but alive. Just asking…
Paloma says she would never accept them and would NEVER forgive Ramona. Just answering…
Alfie breaks the glassware off her vanity, Damian asks her what is wrong… same ol blood pressure story. Yes, she already knows Flo can walk. Dam says it was a big weight lifted off his shoulders. But he still will take her with Guido to Mex to get her looked at. Alfie agrees with that plan. Dam is very surprised she is in agreement. He thought she did not want him to leave La Ermita… Alfie says the most important thing is your girlfriend’s health… Dam is a bit confused/miffed… he just says good nite and walks out.
Ingrid calls mommy dearest… and brags about staying at a luxury hotel in Merida enjoying Alfie’s money while Ingrid sleeps on a spring mattress in the one INN in town… Ingrid tells her her situation will also change soon, you will see. Kenya says she heard things got complicated for her, Gael knows her little secret… She just talked to him on phone, he needed to tell someone his woes… Ingrid asks what did he say? That he distrusts you, that he can’t stand you. I would also have wanted another mom, anyone better than you! Ingrid warns Kenya not to call her again. Kenya says now that her half brother knows the truth, she feels like returning to La Ermita, maybe he will accept me when he hears that you don’t care about me either. Besides, I want to get to know him, I do want to feel like I have a family.
Ingrid is very angry. Threats Kenya that if she comes back to town, she will regret it for the rest of her life.
At Cast-allon, Assusto is drinking his woes away… Oroach-Ho is poking him that he should go to the town bar, instead of drinking his guts away in his studio… (I guess she wants him to leave so she can move freely). After Assusto leaves, phone rings. It is UnkaHunk. She does not feel safe to talk normal tone but she gives him the address of the ‘cabana’ to meet tomorrow. As she is about to hang up Elisa comes over and questions her talking in whisper on phone… no was not spying on you but I do find it strange… Oroach-Ho tells her that the call was from Paolo and that she was whispering because she just did not want DeadBrain to find out he called.
Did you know he is drinking again? … and of course it is your fault. (Elisa swallows a sour pill again)
UnkaHunk arrives at the ‘cita’ on time… and is thrilled at seeing Oroach-Ho so well put together. You are the reason I am staying at La Ermita… let me show you what I had in mind… (ok this is disgusting).
At town bar, Assusto spent the night there… the bartender sends him home, he does not feel like going home. He is fed up with Carmina and Elisa… he can barely walk, definitely not in a straight line…
Out on the road, Kenya is listening to music in car (well, hopefully she has a real good alkaline battery, but I don’t see the energizer pink bunny, he must still be in Sabrina’s VERY pink room).. Our favorite mule taxi ride has arrived… Ramona recognizes her as the girl that she helped the other day. The one Gael took to the clinic. Kenya says good that you know Gael. Can you please tell him to come help me? Ramona comments that Kenya suffers so many incidents/accidents that she might be better off traveling on foot… Ramona offers to give her a ride back to town, it is very hot out here… Kenya says just tell Gael to come help me… the car has A/C so I can wait for him here… Ramona tells her that less than 5 minute walk down that way there is a cenote there in case you want to cool off a bit. Of course 3 seconds after Ramona moves on, the car dies (ok Kenya, car 101 … batteries don’t last long on a car that is not turned on and has the A/C in full blast with the radio on…). Kenya is shocked… DUH!!
Quique asks Sabrina please to go see Flo and ask her to agree to a goodbye meeting with Quique…
“Help me Obi-Wan, you are my only hope.” Sabrina reluctant, but will try. But if Flo won’t, don’t blame me!
Tonita asks Alfie if she feels bad. Alfie is anxious to have Dam go to Mex with Flo. Tonita is surprised she wants Dam to leave. Alfie says of course not, but that is for the best for now. His girlfriend needs medical assistance. Flo and Guido come over. Guido excuses himself to make a call. Flo thanks Alfie for her support with Damian regarding the trip. Alfie says you were right, it is best he is away instead of here within Elisa’s reach… I am going to warn you about something. I want you two to come back here once you are married. I hope the ISSUE is solved by then. Flo is not so sure. Even if they are married, Elisa will always be a danger for her. Alfie says not if you begin to behave smartly. Flo says by the way, I want to go say my goodbye to one particular person. You know who. Alfie nods yes.
On phone, Guido, very nervous, is not so sure he can get together such a huge amount. Ok, will try.
Lucio and Elisa discuss the option of putting her lands on lien for the loan… there are other alternatives… Elisa still adamant to keep trying with banks… Lucio tells her about his visit to Damian, that Damian was willing to help them except that he is leaving town… Elisa mad at Lucio for having even tried that, she had told him she did not want anything to do with Damian. Lucio says he made it clear he was on his own initiative only. Elisa confesses to Lucio she is deeply in love with Damian… Lucio even more confused she does not want Damian to help her out. Elisa thinks the less contact with Damian, the sooner she will forget him.. Lucio tells her a famous phrase Nina used to say ‘that which is forbidden is most attractive’.
Elisa definitely wants to keep trying with banks and off they go.
Out on the road in middle of nowhere outside of town, Kenya is really hot, fanning herself with hands. She gets an idea, grabs towel and lightweight dress out of the trunk of the car and walks away happily.
Another one who is feeling Ermita Habanero-heat stroke is UnkaHunk (shirtless! I was missing that feature of this novela already)… he and Roach-HO are playing around at the little blue house that used to be her meeting place with Rosie. UnkaHunk says her husband (ToadBrain of course!) was right to tell him to stop going after young ‘uns… what the idiot didn’t know was that he was pushing me right into your claws… how did you get this hanky-panky place?... well, lets say it is sort of an inheritance… some of us are fortunate to have a pow-wow place like this, right? … you better not say anything about our meeting… don’t worry, I am a gentleman… you go first… what is the problem? We are far from town.. but we can’t take a chance… will I see you again soon? … VERY soon.. (wide smile in mirror by Oroach-Ho).
Out by the fields, or maybe by the road going by the cenote, is ToadBrain riding his horse… he is sweating (you know, the heat stroke thing), so he seems to have same idea as Kenya… at cenote Kenya is bathing (in her underwear?) … BrainDead can’t help but peek through the trees… he must like what he sees, as she is putting the dress on, he walks away but makes noise with the branches and she looks up but doesn’t see anyone.
Gabino barges into the ‘cabin’ and is yelling at Roach-Ho, he is jealous, if you were looking for a guy, why did you not think of me? (slap!!)… he charges her saying he will collect on all her pending debt but as soon as he puts some weight on her, she twists her ankle… suddenly we see a CARING side of Gabino? Are we still watching the same novela?...
At Dr Whipped’s consultorio, Damian comes over to appologize to Edmundo (I have taken back the nickname Inmundo since the guy has been doing good deeds lately) for doubting his diagnosis and questioning his expertise… Damian has it clear now that PP was never pregnant… Edmundo assures Damian there is no need for any other doctor to see her… he tells Damian he had given Alfie the name and contact info for a specialist in Merida (I remember Alfie told PP that she went to Merida and showed the x rays of PP to him and he assured her there was no reason for her not to be able to walk)… Damian is really impactado when Edmundo says he had told Alfie all of this, and suggested that she go show the other Doctor the x rays of PP to analyze… Damian says Alfie never mentioned any of this to him.
On his way out, Damian sees Paloma again… she asks him if this is it, they won’t see him for long again. He supposes so… Paloma assures to Damian that Elisa will be one who suffers his leaving again the most, and that Elisa is deeply in love with him. Damian doubts that, he is still resenting Elisa’s rejecting him and pushing him away. Paloma says it is logical, Elisa thought PP was pregnant so Elisa stepped aside… Damian says Elisa knows that already, and he was very hurt when Elisa told him she was not sure of loving him. Paloma reprimands him for being so proud and playing dumb. Elisa can’t disguise the love she feels for him. Paloma says this might get her in trouble with Elisa but she will say it anyway, Paloma believes his girlfriend PP was faking not being able to walk so that he would feel guilty and he would not leave. PP is not stupid, she knew she was losing you and she would do anything to keep you, even lying about being pregnant. Damian says the test kit just showed a false result. Paloma says heck no, those tests are VERY accurate… and if it shows a bun baking, you better put on the oven mitts to get it. Damian is still in disbelief. Paloma paints it to him another way.. why did she go take the test precisely in front of Elisa? Don’t you think that was pre-planned? Damian is interested in the rest of her theory. She mentions pregnant Kenya’s arrival in town, PP managed to get the test show positive using Kenya.
At Cast-ellion, Elisa receives a not so welcome visit…
PP: Hi, Elisa… I came to say goodbye, I will leave for Mex in a bit … with Dam.
El: Good for you. I had heard you were ill. I am glad you are better now.
PP: Well, the best medicine for me has been Dam’s love.
El: I also heard you were never pregnant..
PP: what can I say? Surely the pregnancy test was defective. But it is a non-issue anymore. I will marry Dam as I planned and we can order our first bundle in the honeymoon.
El: I hope you are very happy.
PP: Know something? I am so glad we had the accident, because it made Dam realize how crazy he is for me. You don’t know how charming and caring he was with me while I was ill. He is really desperate to marry me.
El: Oh goody. I am glad you realized there was no reason to worry about your relationship with him.
PP: Yup, you are so right. And now that you mention it, I was so dumb to doubt Dam’s love. Even after the fall from the horsie, I thought he would stay with me for pity, but I know now that his love is sincere.
El: He has always been very honest. If he did not love you, he would have told you.
PP: I don’t know why I came the other night to ask you to get out of our way. I was out of my mind. Now I see how he sees you… just like any … like any friend.
El: I am sure of it.
PP: Well, I will leave now.. as you can understand I have a lot to do. In any case, thank you Elisa.
Gabino has taken Oroach-Ho to Dr Edmundo’s exam room… Edmundo walks in, Gabino makes his exit, Edmundo checks her ankle, seemingly roughing her a bit… he finds it strange to find her with Gabino (the ankle is getting the worst part of this irony-charged discussion)… he tells her she will not be able to put weight on the foot for a while, she will have to use crutches. These injuries take a while to heal.
Damian has made it to the rectory to visit Gael… Happy greetings. Gael is surprised that Damian took time to come visit him if he should be packing his bags… Damian asks Gael if he has any contact info for Kenya, need to talk to her asap… Gael asks Dam why his interest in her.. but Damian has no time to answer, Ramona comes in to tell Gael that Kenya had a flat tire at the road near town and asked her to get Gael to help her.
At Arango house, the phone rings, Alfie answers but the other party hung up. Alfie is visibly nervous and jumps when Guido comes in… Alfie still speaks in favor of Flo when she tells Guido PP went to visit someone… Alfie notices Guido is very anxious… and asks him what is wrong. He confesses it is about his business… she pulls out the checkbook.. he is reluctant, it is a large amount, but he takes it as a loan.
At pro-ce-sa-do-ra, Gabino is surprised to see UnkaHunk there still, he thought he was leaving with Flo. UnkaHunk says now there is a new interest for him in town… Gabino is not interested enough to keep digging him so he leaves UnkaHunk with a wide smile on his face..
Elisa sees Oroach-Ho arrive home in her crutches. Elisa asks her what happened… Oroach-Ho is rather rude to Elisa … Elisa notes that Oroach-Ho is very put together, a bit too much to just go for a walk… Elisa also notes that something that she has always found strange in Oroach-Ho is that she does not have ‘girl’ friends to talk to or hang out with. Being locked in here must be fairly boring. Oroach-Ho says she prefers to be alone than to have friends like Elisa’s… they are not ‘my class’, and you might not admit to it but they are not ‘your class’ either. I don’t know why my dad ever wanted to leave Europe to come live in this low-life town. Elisa says ‘with that frame of mind, it is not so strange that you are alone and that things ‘happen’ to you’.
Sabrina comes to Arango house to see Flo… to say goodbye, my brother also wants to see you before you leave… he feels shy to come here… but he is desperate to see you… (Flo looks away and smiles).
Dam and Gael arrive to the car where Kenya is…She had no idea how to fix the flat. Gael goes right to fixing the flat tire…
G: what are you doing here? I thought you would be in Mex by now.
K: I cancelled my flight when we talked on phone and heard you so anguished. It was least I could do after you saved my life.
D: I am glad you are here, Kenya. I want you to explain to me if you helped Flo to use a pregnancy test of yours to make everyone believe she was pregnant with my child.
(K is shocked)
G: How could you do something like that??
K: Well, Flo told me a bad girl was after you, a girl who pushes herself on every guy in town, some girl named Elisa!
(wrong answer to give these two hunks, girl!)
G: Whoaaaa.. whoaaaa … whoa! Both Damian and Elisa are my best friends since were were little, and I won’t allow you to speak ill of them!
K: Forgive me Gael, but I had no reason to doubt Flo’s word. Even less when she was crying desperately, she said she was capable of doing anything to not lose you.
D: I demand you tell me the exact details of how you helped her with that prank.
K: Alright, but I assure you it was all her idea!
Lolita tells Elisa that Flo was limping inside the house but once she got out she was not limping anymore. Elisa says it was good for Flo to come. Ok Elisa is having a stupid moment, believes every word out of Flo’s mouth but does not believe anything from Damian. In any case, Damian is going back to Mex with her! Lola says she knows Elisa, when she gets in these stubborn moments, she is unshakable. But know what? It is not fair you compare Dam with that jerk UnkaHunk. Elisa says they are both the same. The only man who has treated her right and given her her place has been Gael. Maybe she should look at him with a different viewpoint. Lola likes the idea.
Gael is done changing the tire, he is visibly miffed at Kenya and Dam is gone… Gael tells her that the tire is fixed, but now the battery is dead so they will have to go back to town and bring Don Lucio’s truck to jump start the battery. Kenya thanks him. But she notices his change in demeanor with her. She asks him about it. He admits he is mad at her. He thought she was different. How could she lend herself to that silly pregnancy ‘game’? Kenya barks that how could she know his friend was not as Flo said? Gael barks back that people can say million things about Elisa, but it is all lies! IF you get a chance to get to know her you will see what a beautiful person she is. Kenya tells him that from the way he talks about Elisa it shows he loves her very much, and so does Damian. Gael gets mad again, says she is wrong there too, Dam told him to fight for Elisa, not to give up on her. If Dam was in love with her, as my friend that he is, he would have told me. Kenya says I hope she chooses the best man, you.
At Arango horse stables, Flo sends Horacio away… meets there with Quikie… She is very concerned about no one having seen him come here… they both say they wanted to see each other… he asks her if she cares for him, why does she leave… she has to, and also she had told him from the beginning she loves Dam.. he says that does not mean it does not hurt to see you leave… she likes to hear that, so much that she gives him a good-bye present: XXX. Here comes Damian with his horse… FLORENCIA!!
Previews:
The betrayal of Flo is revealed to Damian.. and the scandal spreads tomorrow.
Dam kicks Flo out of the house… you won’t keep on mocking me! We are through! And of course you are leaving today!! … don’t’ want to see you ever again in my life!!
