Caray, Caray!

EPISODE - Nov. 15, 2007:
* Rod teases Gavi for being late, Gavi sweetly bats her eyelashes and apologizes. They kiss in the palaba cafe.

* Dani hangs up the phone - she has a serious and sad look on her face. Elvis walks Grammy out of the room. Dani tells Nestor how worried she is about Pilar's health. Bruno calls Dani about where Rod is, she tells him that Rod has reunited with Gavi - they are together again. After she hangs up, she asks Nestor why Bruno is looking for Rod. Nestor says it's a grave problem and they could lose the farm.

* Bruno tells Fedra, Aaron and Minnie that Rod and Gavi are back together again.

* Rod and Gavi are together having a private lunch on their little rowboat on the lake. (looks more like a table and chairs on a canoe to me)

* Patricio and Fedra have an argument in the office about the fraudulent signed documents - she tells him that they are to blame it all on Gavi.

* Rod and Gavi are on their little rowboat in the middle of the lake near the waterfall. They toast their love with some tequila. They kiss.

* James, Roman and Crispin discuss a plan to save the agave crops and the farm. Sofia runs in with some valuable information she just received. Roman and Crispin leave to start their end of the plan. James and Sofia commisserate their losses due to the incompetency of Pancho de la Vega. James is depressed - Sofia is positive and says they will work hard together to overcome this and save Montalveno.

* Pancho meets with Priscilla (Laura Flores) in a restaurant. He works hard at sweet talking her. (not sure if she's buying it or not - she has a definite poker face right now). Lunch comes. Priscilla hands Pancho her card and leaves. He's proud of his new catch. As she leaves with the attendant, he hands her the phone. She calls Sharon to get her to call for a chauffeur for her - she so hates to take taxis. {thanks jardinera for the correction on the name}

* Jose is talking with Clarita about her conversation with Sofia. No sign of Pancho, only word about Rod.

* Isa mutters to her mirror.

* Jose and Clara continue talking. Clara talks Jose into staying at the apartment with her. Jose asks where Mariana is. Clara drops a few hints and makes Jose guess. Jose has no clue - and isn't very good with guessing games. Clara has to come out and say in San Luis Potosi with Rod! They celebrate.

* At night, Rod and Gavi are in the middle of a circle of tiki torches. She says it's perfect (so romantic). Rod says not just yet. He snaps his fingers and three mariachi come over to softly serenade them to the song "Por Amarte".

*** PASION PROMO #1 for tonight - "live the story that will enchant and steal your heart night after night - Pasion ... se acerca" - video of Ricardo, Santiago, Mario, and Camila. ***

* Isa asks Pancho where they are going to live - Japan or somewhere in Mexico. Pancho is shocked by the suggestion of leaving right now. Isa and Pancho argue over Pancho's new job and lady boss. He's confident. She's a bit jealous and upset. He leaves.

* In their romantic love tent, with rose petals spread all over the bed, Rod and Gavi make love.

* At the corporate offices, Nestor and Bruno have a heated discussion about who is to blame for the fraudulent exports. Nestor accuses Aaron and Larry the Snake - it would be just like them to do this. Bruno is so aghast that he continues to hold onto the thought that Gavi is at fault. Nestor asks him if he has any proof to substantiate blaming Gavi for this. Bruno doesn't have any and sits down in silence. Nestor then tells Bruno that Dani knows about this, but they haven't told Pilar anything. Aaron calls in. Bruno is angry that Aaron decided to travel to Miami instead of meeting at the office in Mexico. They argue. Aaron hangs up and tosses the phone on the table. He and Larry the snake laugh over their success. Bruno and Nestor are frustrated and upset over the diseased fields and damage it will have to the crops and the corporation's products.

*** PASION PROMO #2 -- cast list, starting with Fernando, and video clips ***

* At the Cascade de Tumul, Rod and Gavi are standing on the overlook over the waterfalls. They kiss.

* Video of the agave fields at sunset, twilight, dusk.

* Sofia, James, Roman, and fieldworkers are in the fields at night throwing grains of stuff on the plants to try to save the crops. Sofia stops, looks up to the sky and cries to her father for forgiveness. James sees her drop to her knees and wonders what's wrong. Sofia cries her guilt to him - over everything she's done to her brother and the family business - she thinks this is her penace for it. This time, it's James who has to give Sofia positive advice and support. They get back to saving the crops; with cheers and shouts of encouragement.

* Gavi and Rod in their romantic bed. Rod is half asleep. Gavi tries to wake him up to leave the bed. He doesn't want to, kisses her and pulls her back under the covers.

* Patricio and Lluvia are alone together discussing the fraudulent exports. Lluvia is scared that she will be implicated in the scandal also. Patricio has to work to calm her fears.

* Rod and Gavi together in the wooded area talking. They discuss where to have their wedding - they decide to have it in Mexico, with family, friends, and in agave fields.

* Crispin, James, Sofia and Roman are eating their breakfast in earnest after a hard night's work. James and Sofia wonder if they did enough. Ofelia gives them her positive prayers. SJ speaks up with her opinions about family. Ofelia asks how does she know. SJ says she is pregnant with her own child. Ofelia and Roman gives their opinions about parenthood.

* Meanwhile back in Mexico City, Clara is talking with Hilario. She is trying her best to convince Hilario to visit SJ. He hates the idea - and won't get together with that woman to raise someone else's child. She asks if he's sure about that. He looks stunned. She says he has to go, if only to find out the truth about the paternity. Hilario agrees to go to Montalveno and convince SJ to agree to a paternity test on the baby.

* Aaron finally arrives at the corporate offices and storms into his father's office. Aaron is still hot and determined to shout his accusations of fraud on Rod and Gavi. Bruno tells him that the authorities are now involved. Aaron continues with his ranting about Rod and Gavi being to blame for all this. Patricio and Bruno want to see some proof from Aaron to back up his accusations. Aaron starts to shout his proof in detail to back up his statements. Bruno and Patricio are stunned.

*** PASION PROMO #3 -- the storybook fairy of Pasion ... se acerca (the video showed a kiss between Ricardo and Camila) ***

* Aaron storms out of the office and down the hallway. Patricio stops him and starts to scold him about accusing his own cousin of fraud. Aaron says it may be hard to hear, but he is saving himself now and advises Patricio to do the same. Patricio asks about Lluvia being implicated. Aaron says that he is only interested in blaming the ultimate one responsible -- ROD!

* Pancho is on the phone with Priscilla, making a date to meet (the dirty two-timing dog). Pancho switches his tone to a more work-related professional one when Isa walks into the room with Ricky. Isa is suspicious. He tells her about his work-related dinner meeting. Isa says great, after she feeds Ricky, she will go with him. Pancho denies the request. She says fine, she will stay there, but tomorrow they will be moving. Pancho is shocked by the idea, and sweet talks her into doing exactly what he decides.

* Aaron meets with the authorities in a transcribed official session. Aaron lays out all the proof he has on the fraud and how it implicates Rod and Gavi. Aaron gives his statement about all the documents.

ADVANCE: Pancho is playing the enchanting schmuck; Gavi is enchanted to be with Rod again; Rod slugs Aaron in front of his aunt and uncle - motive, Aaron wants to put him in jail.

Labels: Destilando

Last night's leftovers: Boris thought Ivan was dead, but he's willing to make him the "for realz" head of Latin American operations and have him report on Mauricio. Mauricio tells GSD and Emilia that they can't go public because there's a new head of Latin American operations. GSD may finally be getting suspicious. Azul and Diego make out in the sewing room (am I a bad person if I hope someone gets stuck by a stray pin?) and Diego tells Azul he's going to keep the half of the boutique bequeathed to him by Eva.

Room of Sewing Porn: Azul can't believe Diego would go this far in respecting someone's final wishes. She hates that Eva gave him this gift. Diego tells her not to be jealous and he needs to keep working there so that they'll have a love nest. He intends to "pay back" all the money Eva invested in getting him the shop. "Who are you going to pay back?" Azul wonders (as do I). He says he doesn't know yet, but maybe some family member or someone Eva cared about, or he'll give it to a charity. He tells her he's working undercover so Mauricio won't suspect. Azul thinks he can become a great designer, especially since she's seen his Project Beach Runway entries. I find Azul's hairstyle change refreshing. She doesn't have Emilia's level of curl, but I guess she got over her daily straightening addiction at the Love Shack. And really, when you're married to a murderer and having an affair, do you really have time for all that blow frying?

Casa Moron: Awwww, Gustavo (Efrain's mechanic buddy who's looking for the car Diego borrowed) has brought over food to Lidia because "las penas con pan son menos" ("sorrows are lessened with bread"; come on, you know how a little ice cream or chocolate or tequila make you feel better after a bad day--or all three if it's a really, really bad day). He says they can share their sorrows and some food. Lidia's upset that he did this without asking and says they're sooo different, they live in different worlds, he's a mechanic, she's married to an important executive (uh, not if you signed the papers, you're not). He says he's not like her rich exec, but he would never have left a girl as pretty as her. Wow, pretty words AND food? Lidia's an idiot if she doesn't realize this guy's a keeper. She bites her lip after he leaves and then starts digging into the food.

Boris and Mauricio teleconference: Boris is pissed that Mauricio lied and didn't tell him Ivan was still alive. Mauricio says he'll go ahead and kill Ivan now, but Boris says now Ivan is on alert, so they're going to have to keep him working with them.

Room of Sewing Porn: much kissing and discussing how this is such a great place to meet. At least until Gaspar comes in to tell Diego Silvana's looking for him. His response is to tell her to come in. Uh, why? You're not getting a threesome out of this, I don't care how handy you are with a needle and thread. Silvana is likewise surprised to find Diego making out with Azul. Azul leaves to go get on with the rest of her day as Silvana smiles uncomfortably.

Mansion Malicia v 2.0, Dining Room of Doom: Mauricio starts spinning his tales and tells Emilia and GSD that he just got off the phone with Ivan, who is the new head of Latin American operations, and that Ivan called to threaten Mauricio that "you can't do anything you'll be sorry for later." I swear, that's what Mauricio said, although, it doesn’t make a lot of sense to say it that way.

Ceci and Andres pedeconference: Andres wants to know what's up with Ceci, she's been acting strange. Ceci says there's nothing, but she plays with her hair to keep from holding his hand. Oh, like that's not suspicious. Sorry, Ceci, but you may just have to sleep with Andres to throw him off track. I know, it's going to be a tough sacrifice, but we're all counting on you. Andres says she was really serious at lunch. Ceci says she's started thinking about the future, assuming they have one. Andres says Ceci's the love of his life and if it were up to him, he'd say that tomorrow they'll be married, happy, loving each other. Ceci backs away from his kiss and says she'd like to believe him. Andres says soon they'll be married and have an even better wedding than Azul and Mauricio, because he and Ceci will be married in the church. Ceci backs away from another kiss and says that will have to wait because she's decided to be a model. What, models don't get married?

MM v 2.0, DRoD: Mauricio claims to have thrown Ivan off by saying they don't have a lab to work in. Julio arrives, having been invited by Mauricio, who apparently wants him to confirm that he really did fire Diego. Julio says he had to, with Azul visiting the boutique so often. GSD thanks him for the support and Julio says he simply won't have a delinquent working for him. Mauricio looks pleased. I must say, Mauricio may think he's a badass, but Julio is a much better liar. We could eventually find out that Julio is actually Boris' boss and I wouldn't be a bit surprised.

Boutique: Azul is helping Gaspar hang some clothes on a rack when Tía Inés and Arnaldo walk in. Azul oohs and aahs over Inés' makeover, but we don't get to see the results yet.

Diego tells Silvana that Ivan's no white dove, but he's ready to leave the past behind. Silvana wonders why he'd do this "de buenas a primeras" (suddenly, all at once). Diego says he wants to get revenge for Eva's death. Diego offers Silvana an alliance again, and this time it looks like she accepts.

Now Gaspar and Arnaldo are fawning over Inés and holding up outfits. Silvana is on her way out of the boutique when Inés stops her to say hi. Silvana says she didn't recognize her, excuses herself, and leaves. Looks like Inés got some bangs, highlights, and is wearing a little more makeup than usual. I think what helps most is not having her hair pulled back the way she used to. Azul asks Silvana to wait while she asks Inés how she knows Silvana. Inés tells her about Silvana coming to visit Caty and getting in a fight with Emilia because she didn't know Emilia and Azul were friends. Azul tells Silvana she wants to talk.

Casa E&G: Gustavo is still looking for the car and tells Efrain he got fired. Apparently he was working on the car Diego borrowed on the side from his regular job and somehow that got him in even more trouble, which is why he got fired. Efrain offers him a job.

Boutique: Silvana tells Azul the same story about being mad that Emilia didn't tell her she was friends with Azul. Azul says they should go see Emilia, but Silvana refuses.

Arnaldo goes to check on Silvana and Azul, which Gaspar thinks is a good idea, lest they end up fighting. Azul says everything is fine, but she and Silvana have "something to do". Silvana agrees this time, and they're off.

Casa J&A: Julio invites Burgay in to talk about their deal. Since Burgay doesn't have a copy of the contract, Julio won't hand over any money. He tells Burgay he'd rather honor the contract with Diego than have to deal with bad publicity over legal issues. Since Burgay's got nothing, the meeting is over. Julio says something after he leaves to the effect that the business is getting away from Burgay.

Sewing Room: Gaspar comes in with some pink and blue sparkly fabric that would probably only be suitable for making another princess dress for Caty. Diego asks if Azul is still out there and Gaspar says she left with Silvana and he couldn't come tell Diego because Arnaldo was out there. Diego looks worried at the thought of Azul and Silvana going anywhere together. Or maybe he just doesn't want to miss the potential cat fight.

Street: Azul and Silvana are walking along when Azul's phone rings. It's Diego. Azul tells him everything's fine, she's with Silvana, and she's sorry she didn't tell him she was leaving. I guess they had arrived at Emilia's because she comes out to greet them and to assure them she didn't ever violate ethics (tomato/tomahto). Azul's like "yeah, we already know you didn't blab about us behind our backs, but we're here to talk about Caty."

Casa DC&D: Gloria comes over (run, Don Chucho, run…no man is safe!) to ask after Ivan. Don Chucho says Ivan's not there, but he is. Oh, please tell me Don Chucho's not flirting with Gloria. We need to find Don Chucho a girlfriend. Gloria says it's like when you're looking for wine and you find one that's "añejado" (mature). Don Chucho replies that older wines are better and now that they've gotten past "todo el parte médico" ("all the medical part"; what does he mean? ) she should sit and they'll have some of that wine she mentioned. Oh, please no, not Don Chucho! He can do so much better! We need more classy older babes on this show.

Casa E&G: Ivan tells Diego that Boris used Mauricio to ensure Eva's death and that Mauricio has now taken Eva's place.

Emilia's: The ladies have decided to work the Caty angle. Emilia will use her psych skills to help Caty remember the accident. Silvana can help because she's Nico's mother. And Azul gets to lie to Mauricio and/or sneak the kid out of the house. This is legally and ethically wrong in so many ways I can't even begin to parse it.

Casa E&G: Ivan tells Diego that he called a guy back in Prague who didn't know about Eva's death and had him denounce Boris to the cops on Eva's behalf. We see Boris handcuffed and taken away by two guys, after a third guy gives him "a message from his daughter" and kisses Boris on the cheek. Diego says this may have brought down the organization and Ivan agrees. Now, however they have lost access to the info that Boris had on Mauricio, so they're back at zero and are going to have to dig up the information themselves. Diego says he won't rest until Mauricio, like Boris, is behind bars.

MM v 2.0, Mauricio's Sinister Study: Mauricio wants Andres to get Ceci out of MM v 2.0 and back into her apartment. Andres mentions Ceci's sudden desire for a modeling career and says he's not going to let that happen. He'll start spending more and more time at the apartment until he ends up living with Ceci. Mauricio's like, whatever, just get her out of the house TODAY so I can have some alone time with my WIFE. I know it's just a language thing, but every time he calls her "mi mujer" all I can hear is "my woman" like he's going to drag her, caveman-style, into the bedroom. Which, to be fair, is probably his plan.

Efrain's Garage: Diego has returned the car, but Gustavo says the client doesn't want it anymore and he's now working for Efrain. Diego's got to pay for all the mileage he put on it, but the car's owner was hoping to get it back quickly so he could sell it. Efrain says all used cars end up needing money and work invested in them and the car may be slow, but it will get you where you're going and back. Diego says he has money from the boutique now and he probably can't afford to pay for it all at once, but if the owner will take it in payments, he'll buy the car. Quite a come down from the 'Stang.

Night falls in the DF.

Chez Swanky: Tía Inés v 2.0 sits nervously at a table with half her cleavage out and GSD gets shown to (or rather, pointed towards) her table. Sounds like Arnaldo called GSD to pick up Inés after their dinner together because he had to pull sommelier duty. GSD compliments Inés' new look. At length. Then he invites her to dance. She rests her forehead on his cheek. Well, at least GSD doesn't have a pet bunny, but he sure is sending some mixed signals there.

MM v 2.0, SS: Mauricio smarmily rubs Azul's shoulder while telling her they're not acting like newlyweds. Mauricio complains about Ceci running him out of Azul's room that morning "as if I didn't have rights over you." Okay, the caveman meter's definitely going up now. Now that Eva's dead, Ceci's not in danger, so Mauricio wants her to go back to the apartment. Azul begs him not to do this and he begs her not to do "this" to him (meaning sleeping in her old bedroom instead of with him). He wants her to move into his bedroom and she agrees to "sleep" together. He hugs her enthusiastically, but gets that flat, dead, serious face behind her back.

Back from commercials. Mauricio wants Azul's word that she'll tell him next time she's out of the house all day. Mauricio calls her on Emilia's lie that Azul was out looking for books. Azul says she didn't find the books she was looking for, but she does have some stuff that Emilia gave her out in the car. She goes to get it because she likes to read before bed. She leaves and Mauricio takes his frustrations out on the poor innocent chair. He crazies, "No, Azul, there's no way out when you have to be with your husband." Hm, I wonder what he means by that.

Casa S&I&G: Silvana tells Isela that, for the sake of Caty, she's united with Azul. Isela agrees that Caty needs help. Oh, I hadn't realized Isela had ever met Mauricio (snerk). Silvana says finally justice will come.

MM v 2.0, Azul's bedroom: Azul calls Diego. Bad move. Lots of blah, blah, blah that doesn't warrant translation "This sucks, I miss you," etc. Diego says it will take longer than they thought to unmask Mauricio. Azul is disappointed. And pouty.

Casa DC&D: My eyes! My eyes! Don Chucho and Gloria are sharing a brandy. They joke about the good wine and Don Chucho compliments her on her beauty. Gloria shares her 2 secrets to keeping a youthful appearance: pleasure and laughter. Don Chucho says she certainly doesn't deprive herself…of the laughter. He laments that Silvana only got Gloria's looks and not her happiness. Gloria blames it on Isela, but Don Chucho says it's because of losing Nico and not being able to have Diego. This gives Gloria an idea. Gloria, idea--two words that should never be in the same sentence! Diego comes in and Don Chucho remembers he was supposed to bring over some fabric, but he got distracted. Diego tells Don Chucho not to worry about it, he sees that Chucho had company--and a good thing too, because Diego was starting to worry about that. Don Chucho is confused. Gloria tells Diego he could have called, which gives Diego the opportunity to scold Don Chucho for never charging his cell phone battery. He also discovers the apartment phone was off the hook. Gloria winks at Don Chucho that maybe they didn't want to be interrupted, which confuses Don Chucho even further.

MM v 2.0, Azul's bedroom: Azul is packing while Ceci watches. Ceci is amazed that Azul agreed to move in with Mauricio. She's also worried about how to keep from having to marry Andres (don't fight it, Ceci, take one for the team!). Azul says it's a good thing Ceci hasn't accepted yet. Ceci agrees and says she couldn't accept until she knows for sure whether Andres is really the kind of guy Diego says he is.

Chez Swanky: GSD and Inés talk about how much better life is when you're doing what you love for a living. GSD wants to toast, but they've already drunk the whole bottle of wine at the table. Arnaldo comes over with another bottle, on the house. GSD accuses Arnaldo of trying to get them drunk, but Arnaldo says he just wants to add some "happiness" since it's been so long since he's seen either one of them so happy--he wants them to keep having a good time.

MM v 2.0, Azul's bedroom: Azul is telling Ceci she just had to call Diego, she couldn't take it anymore. Ceci says she needed strength before she had to go sleep with Mauricio. Andres walks up to the door and starts listening. Here's a little tip for the residents of MM v 2.0--check the damn doors before you start gossiping! He hears Azul say she doesn't know if she can stay with Mauricio, especially since she's starting to find out that what Diego said is true. Ceci says it's hard enough to be with a sick person, but especially one you don't love. Azul cries that she doesn't know what to do, if she'll be strong enough. Andres has heard enough now, and leaves. Azul swears that she was going to stay with Mauricio, but then everything changed. Ceci's like "yeah, cause he's a murderer." Azul says that's it. And also that she can't stop thinking of Diego for even an instant.

Casa S&I&G: Diego and Don Chucho brought Gloria home. Diego and Gloria fight over custody of Don Chucho. Gloria invites the guys to dinner and adds that "Isela's a great cook". She ain't your personal chef, woman!

MM v 2.0, SS: Andres comes to tell Mauricio that Diego already knows about Mauricio's illness and that the illness is the reason Azul married him. He says he overheard Ceci telling Azul it's difficult to be married to a sick person who you don't love. Mauricio says if GSD doesn't find the cure he and Azul will both die. Andres looks kind of worried about that.

MM v 2.0, Caty's bedroom: Azul asks why Caty didn't pray for her Mami when she said her prayers. Caty says it's because Azul is her only mommy. Azul asks who told Caty she couldn't talk about her other Mami and Caty's response is to put her hands over her ears and start chanting "I don't hear anyone. I only have fish ears. I don't hear anyone. I only have fish ears." Te lo juro, that's exactly what she says. Because fish don't have ears, I guess? Has anyone heard this one before?

GSD's apartment: Drunk!GSD and Drunk!Inés stumble in, laughing. Inés' dress is more sparkly and shorter than it looked at the restaurant. Emilia comes in and wishes them both good evening. Very loudly. And quite unexpectedly, I would imagine. It scared the hell out of me and Mr. 5ft, so I would imagine that GSD and Inés are ready to run. GSD realizes he's busted.

MM v 2.0: Azul sees a table set for 2 in some part of the house. With roses and a candle. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

GSD's apartment: GSD sounds like he's about to explain. Oh, no, never mind, he's scolding her for being at his house. Emilia says she just came over to give him some news and bring him dinner. Now Inés starts trying to explain, but Emilia will have none of it. She tries to give GSD back his keys. GSD says they have to talk and Inés says she's leaving. GSD tries to keep her from leaving alone and he complains that they weren't doing anything wrong, so she should stay. Emilia leaves. Inés can't manage to keep from smiling, although she only does it for a second.

MM v 2.0: I think the table is set near her bedroom. Azul stands in front of it with the scrap that remains of her wedding dress and inhales it. I SO don't want to know what it smells like. We get orange flashbacks, first to her and Diego kissing topless on the beach (did that actually happen?), then to Diego making Azul's beachwear. She packs the dress in her bag as Mauricio comes into the room and says "We're finally alone, my love." Oh, no, that wasn't creepy.

Tomorrow: Lots of ugly pajamas as Mauricio tells Ceci to get the hell out of his house. Azul defends her and Diego's affair to Clemencia. Piero compares Gustavo to Paco and gets told off for it by Lidia. Caty sees a picture of Paco and tells Azul she found his ID at her old house.

Before we get to the recap, I have to share with you something I found today. Amanda clued us in to Mayrin's likely Bond Girl appointment and well, I discovered these which might help to explain why. I realized her daily canteloupe show pales in comparison and is rather PG compared to what she's capable of, and oh we've been living quite a sheltered life at Farell. After all, as a straight woman I don't routinely search for such delights, so who knew. I thought about not even posting these because they are almost over the top, (and I hope they don't violate a blog rule), but they were just so impressive I had to share, plus I figured I'd give an eye tac[a] to the guys... so enjoy. HOLY COW! That's all I can say.

Juan continues snapping fotos and Kike runs over to him asking why he's not been using the flash, you know that little light that comes out to take a foto. Juan laughs at him and says but the camera is automatic and that he's offended, he and photography are one and the same and of course he knows what he doing. Kike reminds him this is his night and to please not leave him without any fotos. After he walks away to go kick up his heels on the dance floor (dar le al taconazo), Juan discovers the flash when he opens it up in his own face.

Drunk Alirio smahes into Juan and gets all offended as if Juan did it on purpose. Juan tries to calm him and Ali says he's as calm as a water tank and because he's a good guy he'll forgives Juan for his offense. He does tell Juan that he he would still like to take on that guy over there with the little wig and spectacles. Juan can't imagine why he wants to punch out Pastor. Alirio continues that guy has him seeing red at the office and besides he has to practice all that Juan has shown him. Juan is impactado as says not with Pastor you can't practice! He notes to the Santo that this wasn't told to him, and he walks off with Alirio in a headlock.

Nid is chatting with some ladies remarking she only has one left now to get rid of and Nid wonders how long it will take to get rid of the bitter cucumber. She gets up to dance the Cachi bombon and Anga sees his opportunity and asks her to dance.

Marely pulls Yadi aside and remarks that Nid is being really rude and that Alirio is going to lose it from watching her dance with some stranger. Yadi isn't concerned and runs back to the dance floor.

Juan is chasing Alirio but CL stops him and asks where he's going that he's the soul of the party and he's missing it. Juan says he just doesn't feel like dancing right now. Cl says with Nid and Anga dancing out there, he thinks maybe instead Juan is afraid of looking small time. Juan says only the devil causes him fear and he tolerates that. He decides to go dance because it's the Cachibombon and he rivals no one at that and leaves the camera with CL. We are treated to a bunch of people watching Juan, Pau watching Cl and Cl sliding a smug look her way. Everyone else admires Juans dancing.

Ivonne and Pastor are watching and commenting how drunk Perafan is. Next we see a very tipsy Pau, and her Mom is after her to slow down on the vino. Pau says she's just happy and celebrating. Ana doesn't get it because she hardly knows Kike and Yadi isn't exactly her favorite either, if it was MArely's wedding maybe she'd buy it. Pau says it's love in the air so she is celebrating that. her Mom tries to tell her not to let CL bug her but she gets up and goes over to Cl and Moni.

Pau asks why they don't dance. CL says he doesn't feel like dancing. Mon goes to the powder room and Pau begins to mock how happy CL looks with his wife. Cl says "ex-wife" and she arrived at the last minute, and anyway he has no obligations, so what? Pau continues on a drunken rant and CL suggests that they should talk about this elsewhere. Pau says they have nothing to talk about here or anywhere else. He reminds her that she came up to him. He thinks she should leave the wine and yelling alone, and not cause a scandal in front of everyone. She tells him again to leave her alone, and he reminds her again that she came to him.

Juan and Marely are dancing in the background but both barely moving as they watch what is going on with Pau. They were really funny. Juan remarks to himself that he was thinking he was the center of the world out there dancing, in reality he was there because of CL, while CL is romancing his palomita. Just as Pau starts to yell louder about CL and Moni coming together, and they should dance together, like very civilized people, and that is quite an excuse for showing up with her, and moni has snuck up behind them observing, Ana comes over to retrieve Pau because they are serving the chilaquiles.

Juan tells himself that's how the party was going when he realized Pastor and Alirio were about to come to blows, so he decided he was going to intervene. He stops Pastor and tells him to please stop, that he's going to have to leave the party, Juan knows Perafan and that he's just going around really happy (andarse muy pipa) ready to dance flamenco and Pastor says well let him dance I'll give him the castenets. Juan tells him to please go, and Pastor says he's the drunk one, why do I have to leave? Juan reminds him that Alirio lives here so how is he going to leave? Pastor protests, and Juan begs him to do it for him because things are going to get worse, but Pastor still refuses to leave because of that Mammaracho (combo of borracho and mamarse - both meaning to be or get drunk).

Inside we see Pau fighting with her Mom again, who begs her to leave, and Pau shouts back that she's not 15 and can't be told when to leave parties. Ana tells her she's not 15 but she's acting like she's two. Ana's pleas aren't working and Pau runs off into the party again.

Nid is eating chilaquiles and Anga comes up behind her noting she still loves chilaquiles. She says he startled her and he says very suggestively that he used to give her another feeling. She tells him she is always in panic from him and was startled to see him unexpectedly show up como conejito de mango (I think this means with attractive little biceps) after 20 some years as if it were nothing. She wonders how he came to be there. He says he was invited, and asks her to speak in private. Just then Fer also comes up and says he has something he wants to discuss in private. Nid asks Fer if it has to be right now, and he says yes.

Luckily Nid is saved by the ring of the boxing bell as Pastor and Alirio decide to resolve their differences the old fashioned way and Alirio yells he's going to pull a flower from Pastor's garden. Nid remarks it's her husband and a pan through the crowd reveals that everyone is impactado.

Juan runs up and demands everyone calm down. Pastor keeps mocking that he's trembling from fear at Alirio. Eventually Pastor gets within reach around Juan and slugs Alirion one right in the kisser! Go Gaytan!!! Rocky music plays and the crowd claps.

Ana finally suceeds in getting Pau to leave after watching the fight so she doesn't end up the same.

Anga and Nid are in the study discussing why she married that Mammaracho. Anga knows her well enough that it wasn't becuase of love. She confirms it was because of life. He tells her he's never forgotten her and he knows she hasn't either and he wonders if they still have a chance together. She reminds him that he wouldn't respect her if she was capable of cheating on her husband, he says he doesn't know, and she says but they can be really good friends for now. And he says essentially whatever it takes to spend time with her, maybe even tomorrow. She says she has to think if she can, but, well where would it be?

Juan attempts to retire Perafan who protests and continues to insult Pastor.

Downstairs Yadi is upset that all the guests left because of Perafan and why he has to do this tonight and that it's just not fair. She yells at her Mom. Fer says they should put on music and keep dancing. Juan comes strolling in and says ok let's resume the party. He gets the sad news that everyone left because Per put the fly in the cake, and Marely chides that he really only cares about one guest in particular and yes, she's gone too.

CL pulls up in front of the apartment with Moni and she asks if she should pull out so he can have her space. As she gets out she notes Pau's car behind them and asks Cl about it. Cl denies it's her. OK, now it's a little scary how lax the drinking and driving enforcement is in Mexico, but I would have thought more of wet blanket Ana than to drive with her daughter in that condition without so much as a comment!

Ana yells at Pau that she's going to take a cab if Pau does something stupid such as see if Moni stays the night. Finally after a yelling match, Pau agrees to leave.

Moni watches her pull away at the window and says "Bye Bye Licenciada!" Cl wonders what she said as he comes up behind her and gives her a kiss on her neck. She tells him the view is what she likes about this apt., thanks for the drink, but I'm going and he lost any privileges with her when he signed the divorce, so "Bye Bye Licenciado."

Juan drives Yadi and Kike to the airport and asks if he is happy. Kike says he is and he's had a day, everything happened today, screams, happiness, partying, deception, annoyances, cries, faints, everything. He asks about Juan and if he got to talk to Pau, Juan says he's bitter about that subject so let's not talk about it.

Ana and Pau get home and Ana lets her have it that she's sunk the lowest of ever. She continues that Pau's acting crazy starting with the drinking and ending up with the stalking at the apt. Pau protests that her feelings aren't being considered and Ana doesn't bite and tells her enough and goes up to bed.

At the airport Juan bonds with Kike and sends them off on their honeymoon to Acapulco. He tells himself he is envious of their happiness and that a crazy idea has now occured to him. As he's driving he tells himself that sometimes it's better not to think about great ideas too much, because when you do, then you tend to put them somewhere where they never come to fruition. He says sometimes this is for the good of people, but othertimes it's bad. He says as they say in his town, if you don't risk an egg, you'll never get a chicken!

Fer is still at Nid's house. She wonders why he's still here, he is drunk too and wants her to explain why she's been so indifferent. He starts yelling for her to tell him the truth and tries to kiss her. He tells her he's dying for what she can do and she insists on talking to him tomorrow. Marely surprises them and wonders what's up. Fer says, ok fine, he'll go, but he'll be back. Nid tries to tell Marely it's nothing.

At Pau's we see her downing more vodka and she's still blasted. Juan rings the bell and she's happy to see him and asks him why he's here. When he says he didn't get to say good bye she laughs that he couldn't make up a better story than that. He says he came to talk to her about something. She's glad because she was as bored as a turtle in an aquarium.

Marely badgers Nid for the truth about Fer. She denies it at first but when Mar says she's not a fool, Nid says it's just their version of the story that something is up with Fer, and says she can't be blamed for being such a sensual figure etc. Mar is simply gagging.

Juan says something is in his head that he wants to tells her. Pau yells at Juan "who doesn't have something in their head like a pain and sadness from a loss of love, or has felt a betrayal. " Juan asks what her pain is, that CL has taken advantage of her? She says yes that he's found the perfect excuse to make my life hell. She admits maybe it's her fault, but he's going to move to Spain and didn't even ask how I felt about it. Juan tells himself that he came here supposedly to be comforted, and instead he's doing the comforting and really he doesn't know if he should hug or kiss her, or choke her!!

Nid chews out Alirio for being such a goof. Perafan tries to make amends, but then decides nevermind and asks her where she's trying to go with her complaints. Turns out he's going back on the couch!

Pau is crying about how he's at his apartment with his wife. Juan tells her that this is not how a man who loves her behaves and that she needs to get rid of him. Sure CL looks right, has money and power but in the end he's only a cage of gold (empty). He's sick of seeing her upset by this man and she needs to do something about it. She's not seeing the person who really does care about her.

She tells him to leave her alone, that he's right, but she wishes that both he and CL disappear and that she disappears too and stops feeling etc. Juan worries about that statement. We see Pau in the bathroom seeing things blurry. The next thing we know glass breaks and she collapses on the floor. Ana runs downstairs and Juan breaks down the door to find her knocked out.

TV y Novelas awards on Friday!! Yeah!!!

Labels: Juan

• In the Presidential Suite the meter's running, the pesos are dwindling at an alarming rate; Frankie is spending what remains of Isa's stash in bars, while telling her he is taking business meetings.
  
  Isa moans, "Everything is turning out rotten, my life is a castle of diapers and misery." She's still getting the pro forma "Ma cherie," but behind her back Francisco tells us, "She's become very tiresome, I'm losing my patience here."
  
  Isa coos to li'l Ricky: "If Rod really loves you, he won't let you starve - and your Real daddy will get work, we'll have a nice big house and all three of us will be happy." [Saying it don't make it so, sister. --Ed.]
  
  A slice of life at the Presidential Suite: Frankie is asleep, it's past noon, Isa wakes him by pulling off his black silk sleep mask and says his meeting with the VIP must have been an invention; he denies it. She says she doesn't believe him and leaves.
  
  He calls the front desk: "There's some problem with our phone, I've been expecting important calls but it doesn't ring, will you try it for me?" In a moment the phone rings, Isa rushes into the room, and Frankie invents a conversation with the VIP, Milton Fontanet. "Oh, we should take a meeting? Where and when? OK, you know how punctual I am."
  
  Then: "Isa, he and I are meeting at La Normandie, you know how expensive it is, I need more money." "I gave you so much yesterday!" "My dear, it's an investment." "OK, li'l Rickie and I will come with you." "Oh, no, I told you yesterday, big important business meetings are no place for a wife and child, and he might cry. You wait here. Please prepare my blue suit and the matching shirt."
  
  
• Av* is setting the wheels of justice in motion. Convinced by Pammie's father's documents that the Montalvo Corporation has been making illegal exports, he suspends their certificate: they can't produce any more tequila. Since Aaron and Rod are both absent, the anvil is being applied directly to Bruno's head.
  
  Somewhere, Aaron and Oñate are celebrating a contract to supply turquoise tequila to a carnival in Nubatu, no, make that Lubatu; back home Bruno is saying no puede ser! more often than Clarita says como asi! and he's heading for another heart attack.
  
  Bruno thinks there must be a mistake, Av* says there's no mistake and scolds: "You should have paid more attention to what was going on around there."
  
  Videgaray comes in. He admits he's been hearing rumors about Aaron and dastardly deeds. Bruno's heard the rumors too but at least is pretending not to believe them. They realize if Aaron has transferred his own, private, money to the Corporation it, too, may be lost (since the accounts are frozen).
  
  Aaron calls. He denies all. Patricio arrives, he's shocked, simply shocked: "I'm as surprised as Aaron" is his careful contribution. He's charged with studying the documents. He gives up not only Rod and Mariana Franco as the people who signed the illegal shipments, he gives up his own girlfriend Lluvia!!! He looks like there is a NEST of cockroaches inside his mouth as he betrays these people he knows to be innocent.
  
  Minerva and Fedra, indignant that Aaron has fallen under suspicion of fraud, jump all over the idea that Mariana Franco is to blame for this mess.
  
  
• On the rural front, Mr. James is also doing the no puede ser! thing. There are three kinds of agave crud going on, and the third fungus is fatal. He's told he must burn all the six-year old agaves and the organic ones are a total loss, too, because there is no organic remedy for these cruds.
  
  "Where's Basilio?" James shrieks. "Well, he's gone -- his, uh, wife is, uh, indisposed, but really - you're barking up the wrong tree." James figures out instantly: it's not Basilio's fault! Francisco must have sold the copper sulfite instead of putting it on the agaves!
  
  Not wanting to watch the way James' horrible moustache is quivering during his queasy fit, one sorry batch of extras slinks out stage right. Instantly a second batch of extras, escorted by Roman, enter stage left. They are? The bank's goons. Oh dear.
  
  James calls Sophie at Pilar's place and shouts the whole story to her: "We have to burn the agave because Frankie stole the chemical, the bankers' dogs are here, there won't be any loan! It's my fault, I should never have trusted him!"
  
  Sofia sobs and tells him she'll be there on the next flight, they can figure it out together. Dani comes in and gets the Cliff Notes version (i.e. "We'll lose the hacienda!"). The sisters are hugging desperately when Elvis enters and says the sisters make a pretty picture. He has just noticed they're crying when Pilar enters asking, "who's going to the airport? what's all this?"
  
  Pilar forces the truth out of Dani and almost faints when she hears how bad the situation is. She is comforted by sweet Elvis. They agree Rod must hear what's going on, but they can't reach him. They also need to talk to Videgaray - but he's busy with Bruno.
  
  
• Gaviota and Rodrigo, in their elysian hideaway, are blissfully unaware of the disasters at home. They do a lot of kissin' and huggin' and have sex, we presume, for the third time in four years. Enjoy yourselves while you can, I say.
  
  Rod is worried about going to London and closing his Mexico offices, the difficulty of running the hacienda from across the ocean, etc. and he's also worrying for little Ricky, trying to figure out a way to keep him securely in Zwieback and diapers without Francisco filching the money for his aventurillas...
  
  At least he's not worried about the hacienda - he tells Gaviota there are some minor problems with the agave crop but James is handling them (see above). The bank has agreed to give him the loan with the current crop as collateral - the money is guaranteed subject to their inspection (see above). Gaviota muses, "I should have kept Las Mirasoles, we could have sold the place to get you out of debt. But I really wanted to stick it to Aaron -- and you were with that psychologist ... oh well, it will benefit a lot of worthy people..."
  
  "Heh, it will give Aaron a heart attack to find out we're back together." "Do you think the new baby will change him?" "Only death will change him."
  
  Gaviota wants to go back to the city early, Rod says no. The many things which must be worked out can wait a bit longer.
  
  They find a lovely waterfall and Rod says "This would be the perfect place to get married." **As a wedding musician I instantly objected: It's so noisy! Not a word will be heard! The wedding musicians will be wasting their lovely music! We played a wedding last year in a park right next to a highway; the preacher's mouth opened and closed pointlessly as cars whizzed by.**
  
  Oh, it's a private ceremony for two. Rod holds out the shell necklace and makes Gaviota swear to love, obey, and respect him blindly and docilely, and be very faithful in mind, deeds, and thoughts. "Now say, 'If I don't, may Tlascualtitli curse me.' " He explains Tlas* is goddess of the earth and eats women who don't keep their promises. Gav agrees to all the conditions, so it's "Good girl, you get your necklace."
  
  He's about to just put his necklace around his own neck but she stops him and makes him promise to love and dote upon her 24 hours a day, not to be jealous or make scandals in the street, not to be proud ("or a clown," he adds). "Now say, 'If I don't may I be trampled by elephants and be cursed by the goddess Gaviota.' " She hasn't decided what the curse will be, yet, but it will be worse than his, she promises.
  
  Eventually there's a minor glitch: Rod finds his precious trophy in Gav's purse and is surprised to hear it was a regift from Erika. There ensues a stupid conversation about whether (a) Gav kissed Blandie ("He kissed me, ok on the mouth, but I didn't kiss back, and then I set him straight and he transferred to Madrid"); (b) Rod kissed Dr. Erika ("Yes, but it was the night Isa left me and nothing happened...").
  
  Gav scratches the scab: "Was the kiss passionate, did she kiss you or did you kiss her?" His answers to both questions being wrong, she runs off to the bar and sucks down booze... Rod comes and finds her (gee, I wonder how he figured out where she was?). Sweet and calm, he gently reproaches her: "You shouldn't have done that, you promised to be with me 24 hours a day." She apologizes, they kiss and make up.

Tomorrow: kneeling among the agaves Sofia screams to the sky: "Forgive me, daddy, for not realizing in time!"; Aaron outlines what a disastrous mess they're in and blames it all on Rod; Rod and Gav have at least a few more minutes of happiness.

We pick up where yesterday's episode left off:

Diego and Ivan are in the field where Ivan last took Eva. Diego reads the letter that gives him half of the boutique. He tells Ivan that there is also something in the letter for him. Ivan reads the letter and finds that Eva has left him a fortune. He is surprised and grateful that she remembered him at all. He knows that she also left Diego money but he doesn't know where it might be, since Eva was planning on running away with and living happily ever after with Diego, so she didn't tell Ivan where it was. Ivan tries to give Diego the money she left him so that he can unmask Mo and Diego refuses.

Azul and Ceci are chatting at Cocoyoco. They see Katy playing with her dolls. Now we see the emotional damage that Mo has done. She is burying her mami muneca so that Azul will not leave. Nice job Mo, you sadist. No father of the year award for you!

Ivan and Diego are both mourning Eva. Diego blames himself but Ivan now blames Mo and Boris for her death and seems to have forgiven Diego for being the love of her life instead of him. They decide to unite, for justice's sake in the deaths of Eva and the others. Diego agrees but draws the line at bloodshed.

Azul questions Katy (delicately - much better than Mo!) why she is burying her mommy doll. Katy responds so that Azul won't be angry with her and her papi, since Azul is now her mami.
Katy parrots Mo and says "No one in this house should speak of her anymore".

Andres arrives, sees Katy digging holes in the garden and freaks out, screaming at Katy. Seems maybe Katy has learned a few tricks from Andres - like burying bodies in the garden! Mo arrives just in time to calm Andres down. Andres orders Ceci to come with him (and she does!) and Azul tells Mo not to let Andres speak to Katy that way. Mo calms her down too. He's really very good at calming everyone, except himself.

Diego and Ivan are still scheming, best of buddies now. They want to bring down the whole mafia so they need to plan and stay close to Mo. Ivan takes a moment alone to mourn Eva, there at the tree, lighting a candle and leaving a white rose. Uh oh, is our bad guy turning into the good guy? I'm all for it.

Andres and Ceci are driving and chatting. (Do we really believe that Ceci can keep her mouth closed about her suspicions? Not I.) She asks Andres if Leo has called or written. Andres says no and that he wouldn't expect it. Ceci says it would be normal on vacation to "give some sign of life". (Is that what she said? I think so but....duh.) She looks at him pointedly and he looks a bit guilty.

Diego half-carries Ivan back to Silvana's and drops him on the sofa. Silvana wants to know why they are back, since when they half-carried Ivan out that morning, it was to prevent problems for the women there. Diego tries to recruit Silvana in their quest for revenge. But Silvana refuses to unite with the murderous Ivan, not even to avenge her son's death. Even though Ivan claims he is not like Mo, Silvana does not want to be associated with anyone who can kill another human being. (This said by the girl with the gun in hand at the beginning of this novela?) Ivan understands and thanks her for her help anyway. Diego helps Ivan out of the apartment and they leave. (I think it would be better to leave poor Ivan in one place!)

Azul leaves Cocoyoco, telling Mo that she is going to visit her father and Emilia. Mo wants to take her. Suspicion oozes out of his pores but Azul makes her escape - or so she thinks. Mo calls Jacinto to have a couple of his men tail her at all times.

Clemencia is hard at work when Anibal comes in. She wants to work harder than usual to pay off the family's debt to Anibal. Anibal says that matter is between him and Diego, the best friend of his own son Paco. (Woohoo, someone remembers Paco!)

Lucia herself delivers the divorce papers to the Moran house. Manuel tries to take them but Lucia insists on delivering them personally to Lidia.

Azul visits her dad and Emilia. He asks if she is protecting Diego for love. She admits it. Dad's not too happy with her, marrying Mo but loving Diego, lying to the police, etc.

Manuel is such a wimp! He goes upstairs to get Lidia, telling her someone needs to see her in the living room but doesn't tell her who. How do you say wimp in Spanish? They come downstairs and Lucia is there. Lucia says she has come to bring her an invitation from Piero. Divorce papers. Manuel chips in how he and Clemi don't want their preciosa to stay with Piero, it's better for everyone. Lidia says she'll sign and Manuel jumps to supply the pen. Lucia gets in one last jab and Lidia flings the papers at Lucia and runs from the room. Manuel once again jumps into action, to pick up the papers for Lucia and says see how he is on Lucia's side. Wimpisimo!

Azul chats with Emilia. They talk about Katy and the accident. Emilia says that Katy says her mother died when the car went over the cliff. She thinks it's odd that Katy speaks of it as though she were outside of the car when it went over. But Azul, being the bright bulb that she is, says"But that would mean the accident wasn't an accident." Orchestra music...

Diego and Chucho show up at the boutique to see Julio. Diego announces that he wants his half of the boutique but Julio wants to negotiate. Negotiate what, says Diego. Julio resents that Diego is going to cause problems in his life.

Azul and Emilia are busy putting two and two together and figure out that if someone had removed Katy from the car before it went over the cliff, then the other two could have been saved and that Katy was a witness to the death of her own mother and her best little buddy, Nico. Not to mention that she saw the killer. Azul voices a suspicion that it could have been Mo but when Emilia confornts that idea, Azul denies that she suspects Mo.

Mo towers over Katy as she cries. She did as he said and buried her doll but Andres came and yelled at her. She has questions. Why did mami Liliana and Nico die and not me? Will you quit loving me because I'm bad and these ugly things happen because of me? Is it my fault that people die? Mo "comforts" her (I use the term sarcastically), standing stick straight, with his hands clasped in front of him, a frown on his face. I'm your father, I will always protect you, you're confused, your memories are all mixed up. Forget about all that and live your new happy life with your new mami. Whose names will we never ever mention again? Of course, those would be Mami Liliana and Nico.

Silvana explains to Isela about Diego and Ivan's latest visit. Diego and Ivan wanted an alliance and how she, Silvana, refused to lower herself to Ivan's level. (What is that thing going up and down during this scene?) Isela agrees that Ivan and Eva were dangerous people. She then seems to try to convince Silvana that the only way she will be able to find out the truth about what happened to her son is to stay with Ivan and Diego.

Azul is rehashing to Emilia her childhood event where she caught GSD kissing Auntie Ines. She compares it to Katy watching her mother and friend die. They both repressed memories. Emilia suggests that Katy will remember things better if they can get her away from Daddy Dearest.

Ines is crying as she listens to cello music when Arnaldo comes in. She cries how alone she is and Arny asks, "What am I, chopped liver?" (not a direct translation) Ines says she has a little right to whine.

Andres lays a pink rose in the garden, crying and talking to Tia Leo. The pink rose lays there, sadly in the dirt until SMASH comes a foot. Mo has arrived. With that evil look on his face, Mo tells Andres he needs to be more careful. Andres reminds him that he's standing on the lovely Leo. Mo doesn't need to be reminded though. He tells Andres to act natural but Andres can't, what with Ceci asking all those questions. Mo says he is tired of that estupida. She busted up his planned little shower party with Azul that morning and ruined his opportunity for a little you-know-what.

Julio has moved the discussion with Diego to the little back room. Julio wants Diego to design clothes but leave them under the Julio Corso name. Diego wants credit but Julio doesn't want Arny's father finding out that Diego is working with him, after kidnapping his daughter and everything. (Like GSD will ever accept Julio) Diego agrees because he thinks that it will be a great place to meet Azul without Mo knowing. Julio is not too keen on turning the supply closet into Diego's love nest with a married woman. Oh and, don't tell Arny. But he agrees.

Arny is treating Auntie Ines to a day at the spa and an extreme makeover. (Let's see, who is available for Ines? How about Efrain?)

Gustavo, still looking for his customer's car, goes to see Diego at Casa Moran but, conveniently, only finds Lidia home. They compare problems and agree that hers are worse. (How long has it been since we've seen Lidia between the sheets? She must be in withdrawal by now)

Ah, Azul's first visit to the Love Shop. Gaspar shows up and sends them to an area more private.

Mo is eating with Emilia and GSD at Cocoyoco. GSD reintroduces the idea of going public with the virus investigation. Mo tells him that even though Eva is dead, there is now someone else in charge.

Ivan is on the phone with... Boris. Uh oh that can't be good. Ivan tells Boris that the mission is complete and Eva is dead. Ivan is now ready to take over the mafia. But Boris thought he was dead so he gave leadership to Mo. Besides, Ivan betrayed him and it was a good thing that he had an alternate plan to kill Eva since Ivan didn't do it. Oh and by the way Ivan it was all Mo's idea to kill you. I'm happy you're alive.

Mo tells GSD that they have a new lab for him.

The Love Shop is in business! Azul and Diego are lovey dovey in the supply closet and planning how to hide their encounters from Mo. Diego announces that he has accepted Eva's last wish and has taken on half the boutique. Azul does not look happy...(Get over it girl, Eva's dead)

Until next time.....

At the airport, Gaviota insists on finding out what happened with the Psychologist. She tells Rod that the doctora is sure he can be with someone else. 'why did she say that??!! Tell me! Di me!!" He says it's a theory, she gets upset and insists that he tell her what kind of 'theory' that was. He tells her he's only in love with her and he's immensely happy about her. He clarifies that he'll love her until death. Gavi's eyes start getting dreamy as he insists: "so tell me, will you come with me or not??!!". He pretends to leave, she starts getting worried (what is it with this push and pull game!!? Geez), but then he turns around he carries her to the security belt. She pleads he let her go " I..I...I don't have any clothing to wear!!". They start sharing their issues with the security guy who's probably wondering why he even came to work today. The security guy asks Gav if she has any will power. She clarifies that she lost her will power 4 years ago.

At the hacienda, Sofie receives a vist from Dona Jose and finds out that Frankie lied about his real parents. Dona Jose tearfully explains that she's a servant and Frankie has always been ashamed of her. She talks about how Maximiliano de la Vega kicked her out of the house when he found out she's pregnant...like father like son....she admits he's shameless and cannot go around the world hurting people. She feels it was her obligation to let Sofie know so he stops hurting her and her family. Sofie gives Dona J her ring and asks her to give it to Frankie when she sees him. I think Dona J should pocket it and trade it in for some well deserved money, but that's just me.

At Le Suite, Frankie leaves an unhappy Isa with her baby to go 'look for a job'..she reluctantly takes some money from the safe for him....she actually asks him if it's enough...I'd think that by now she'd know better, but anyhoo... he say yes of course...so she gives him 2000 more pesos.

In some town...Rod and Gav go clothing shopping... as usual, she wants to pay, he says no, she says yes...yada yada. He wins, and they kiss. Rod buys some things for him too; he gets 2 identical necklaces made from seashells.


At home, Clarita is talking on the phone with someone talking about Gavi: "como asi!! she said she'd come pick me up to go shopping!"

In San Luis Potosi, Rod and Gavi arrive at this beautiful cabin by a lake. G: I can't believe we're here..this is like a dream!! R: It's a dream...I hope it doesn't turn into a nightmare...I don't want to wake up and not find you next to me! .G: i'll awlays be there!

At Jalisco, Sanwanna runs into the guy...I forgot his name...he has the bags under his eyes and gap between his front teeth. Guy with bays: so you're back from seeing Hilario? S: yes, and guess what...he's become a snob! She lets him know that she's pregnant and Hilario dumped her after he found out. S: but that's OK, i won't be the first or the last woman who's got a baby without a dad!

At home, Clarita is talking to Hilario about Gavi's issues....this time he's not asking for tequila. C: they want to send Gavi to Londres, Capital of Inglaterra...! On Monday we leave...come visit us!! H: so....if the Patron was with that Psicologa, does that mean he's no longer with his Isa? Claritat tells him the gossip; we get a closeup of Hilario with some expression....I'm not sure if he's feeling guilty or if he's planning on some horizontal mambo with the love of his life.

For a sec, we see Frankie in the restaurant having a drink.

Back to Hillie...he tells Clarita how he remembers when Rod and Isa announced their baby news. H:Rod looked so happy! C: I don't even now why he married her if he didn't love her!!

At the cabin, Rod and Gavi find out they have no phone connection. He promises they will talk to Clarita from a restaurant. She asks him if she's still the love of his life. They kiss passionately; he reminds her that last time he was with a woman it was 2 years ago ...a lady that worked at the Montalvo corp....and it was a beautiful experience! He was also with a woman 4 years ago...she was beautiful...first time they made love it was under a tree in the agave fields..."it was amazing and I couldn't get my mind of her since then....now I'm in love with an eexecutive f the CRT!! How funny huh?? In conclusion, you were, are, and will always be the only person I can love." They kiss, then Kiss some more. He tells her he loves her, then abruptly breaks away. She looks worried. He tells her he's scared of her leaving him; she'lll have to stay with him forever. R: take it the way you want...like a threat, or even like a marriage proposal..." Caviota, dreamy eyed: matrimonio???" They hug and kiss as we hear the song play before the commercials..."pooooooor amaaarteeeeeeeeeeeeee..."

The commercials announce the upcoming Pasion... a gorgeous brad-pitt-in-legends-of-the-fall looking Sebastian Rully is crying about Camila.... ah, can't wait can't wait!


Back at the cabin, Gavi and Rod kiss....G: you think I was going to accept coming here with you ad then leaving you? No way! Rod, you made my eyes dry from crying so much. Now you're in deep trouble, cuz you won't be able to get rid of me. You'll have to be with me day and nigh until God grants us life. Do you think you'll be able to do that? R: Gaviota you are my life!! Song starts playing..his shirt is off, he's laying her down on the sofa as they kiss...then we get a closeup of their kiss....they look into each others eyes....I guess we're supposed to guess what's happening there. :-O

Next scene is at the restaurant in Mexico.....Franks is asking for another cup of champagne.; the waiter tells him his friend canceled the card. Frankie is offended, they waiter says 'no worries sir, we'll put it on the cuenta Walking in come set of high heels...we see a closeup of her...she looks at him and glances away..he keeps looking with a face suggesting he caught his next prey....she looks away and sits down. He asks the waiter who she is...the waiter says "her name is Priscilla and she usually comes to drink tea, though sometimes she comes with a friend." Frankie slowing pronounces her name as he glances gleefully at her, with $$ signs in his eyes...."Priscilla..."

Isa calls her parents at the Bahamas asking for money...her mom answers...Isa desperately wants to talk to her dad. Her mom, from their mansion in the Bahamas: "Isa, understand we're going though a hard time!!" She is able to get her husband on the phone after she insisting he talk to his only daughter. Isa is angry and desperate, and begs him that he pay. He says he has no money and it's Frankie's responsibility anyway. She ran off with that jerk, so now she better get him to move his arse. I: well, Frankie's looking for a job dad...ha! In your face! Isa's dad goes for his next best excuse "well, I'm very, very disappointed with you! Ergh, how could you have lied to all of us! Find a way out of your own problems...you stopped being my princesa a long time ago...!!". Isa is left yelling "Papa!! Papaaa!!!" Funny that's he's not disappointed in is wife for being his daughter's confidant... well, who said life's fair.


At the restaurant, Frankie goes towards Priscilla reminding himself "hopefully you did't foget the technique". He approaches her seductively...tells her he knows her from somewhere...uh, I think we have a lot on common...I'm..Bond, James bond..aka...De la Vega, Frankie Slimey De la Vega Ichisomething...to your service mademoiselle. I know your uncle from the Club....he was close friends with my dad. P: oh, so our families are related. F: no, not really...cuz my dad traveled a lot so I grew up in many different countries...I'm what they call....ehe ehe...a citizen of the world. So anyway, what happened to don Salomon? Priscilla falls like a prey to his glam, and they decide to share a drink.

At the hacienda, Sofie and granny talk about Frankie's lies. All Granny can say is: "so, that means his mother doesn't grow Bonsai plants??". Sofie can't wait until they divorce...Dani reminds them that the marriage is not valid since that wasn't his real name anyway. Granny finds that to be one good thing among all the bad ones...

From the restaurant in San Luis Potosi, Rod calls Clarita. R: I kidnapped your daughter but don't worry, I'll bring her back! I promise I will do all can to win your love back. C:como asi!! you know I love you, but please don't make my Gaviota suffer!! Gavi takes the phone: Clarita, everything happened very fast! No, I'm not crazy ma! C: Hija, r u sure of what u'r doiong? G: no worries ma, I know what I'm doing. C: so tell me darn it, are we leaving or stayin!!! You promised Avellaneda you'd go to Londres Capital de Inglaterra. G: ma, no worries I'll call you later and let you know about that. C: Gaviota, I'm so happy that you're happy!! I hope the Virgencita protects you! Rod: is she upset? Gavi says no, and she starts explaining how she promised Avellaneda she'd go to London. Gavi suggests she stay for Rod. Rod asks her how important that trip is for her. Gavi says it means a lot, she will be representing Mexican tequila in the world. Rod: it would be the high of your career...make your dreams come true...OK, that's all I wanted to know...I'll go with you". Gav: you're crazy!! Rod: it's important for you and for me, it's the realization of your dreams!! G: what about he hacienda!! Rod: well, we'll work that out...! And he's not able to finish his sentence before she kisses him and they kiss passionately.

At the restaurant in Mexico... Priscilla needs to go. Frankie asks her if she can stay for inner with him...Priscilla says sorry, I gotta go. They both talk about their divorce...She talks about her ex husband...some very rich guy. And you? Well, i was married to socialite Sofia Montalvo... do you know her? P: No, but I did see Aron Montalvo and Pamela's scandal in the newspaper. Frankie: ah, Aron Aron..I told him not to do it but he's very impulsive. Priscila leaves... from the bathroom, she calls her friend Sharono..."Sharon, don't worry, I won't waste your money. I found a catch, he's Frankie De la Vega!! Please send me your driver..I gotta impress him...ya know...hehehe wink wink!". Oh yeah....it would be so nice to see her suck the blood out of him!!

At the hacienda, Dani anwers the phone "aaaaaah!! Cunada!!" to Sofie and Pillie "Gavi is with Rod!" they all scream at the phone, welcoming Gavi to the family. G: here, talk to Rod. Wait, I can't leave him alone...remember the psicologa cured him so I gotta be extra careful! Rod takes the phone, Dani: Rod, where can we call you if there's a problem? Rod: no worries, we'll be calling often. Are there any problems?? Dani, nervous:"nnno...nnooo...all is ...ooo...ook". They're finished talking, and Pillie mentions how she's so happy he's sharing his life with Mariana.

At the restaurant, Gavi and Rod slow dance to classic Mexican music...sounds like from the 50's. Suddenly there's a fan somewhere, cuz Gavi's hair starts flying back like a cover girl commercial. They hug, then we see them on a hammock as the music keeps playing... we see them holding a gardenia and kissing each other in slow motion....as the song keeps going ..."perfume de gardeeeniaaaa es tu amor " (your love is like gardenia perfume ")

Miami, Florida: Aron is talking to some guy about his plans for the future with Agave Turquesa

At her home, Pamela is upset at her dad for giving away the info about Aron's fraud. She wanted to do it slowly....her mom reminds her that the sooner they put that behind them the better. Pamela thinks that she would only feel alive when she sees Aron humiliated begging for mercy and forgiveness.

At the suite, Frankie arrives to meet a disappointed Isa who'd stayed up waiting for him. He gives her the details about his "meeting", and that eventually he'll find a position of his category. Isa is upset, she's desperate and doesn't want to wait any longer. Isa: for once in your life respond like a man!!! Frankie: I'm doing what I can!! Isa: please understand Frankie...all went wrong with me; my world shattered like a castle in the wind. Please hug me!!" Frankie hugs her as he thought bubbles: ur becoming so annoying and wasting my patience!

At San Luis Potosi: Gavi and Rod wake up on some white sheets in bed. He hugs her as she sleeps and whispers how happy she's made him. We know that won't last long because...

Tomorrow:
Gavi (with new hairdo) and Rod are swearing each other love forever by some waterfall...he wants to get married right there. Meanwhile... all sorts of problems are uncovered at the hacienda...
- James finds out about the sulfate problem and goes ballistic
- Bruno gets a visit from Avellaneda stating that CRT will suspend Montalvo tequila production
- Patricio accuses Rod and Gav of Aron's fraud

Anyone heard the internet rumor? Apparently, according to some bloggers, Mayrin Villanueva (that’s Miss Paula Davila folks) is rumored to be a front runner to play the new Bond girl in the next flick. It’s an interesting idea, but I’m not sure I’m crazy about it…

On to the show!!!

CL is dressed for the show and Miss Moni is quite impressed with her man. Before they leave, Moni has a question. She’s worried that Paula will be bothered by CL showing up with his ex. CL assures Moni that there will be no problem. CL also has some information for Moni. He’s moving to Spain and she’ll have to take charge of the business when he does. Monica accepts the charge and thanks CL for his confidence, but she wants to know about his sudden decision. CL claims to be tired and needs some “CL” time to start anew. Moni wants to know if this has to do with his personal life. CL should have been a politician. He deftly avoids the question and says that he’s currently in a crisis and feels that this is the best decision. Moni thinks it’s a little radical.

Is that seriously the Cachon house? Oh, yes, it is. Juan snaps some pictures of the true love of his life, his Lincoln. Marely comes out and wants to know why he’s taking so many pictures of the car. Juan explains that the wedding-car has great significance. Juan explains that the car symbolically carries the new couple into their new life. Marely isn’t impressed but Juan doesn’t care. He goes back to photographing the car. Marely gets Juan’s attention when she tells him that CL is moving to Spain. Marely drops the news and leaves for the house. Juan looks pensively into the sky. It’s kind of hard to take this scene seriously with all the pink balloons in the background.

At the church Kike psyches himself up for his upcoming nuptials. Fernando tries to calm Kike. They speak for a moment about Kike’s lovely suit, but Anga interrupts to greet Kike. Anga asks about the bride and the in-laws. Kike explains that they’ll be arriving together and in a little while. Anga excuses himself to get a seat. Kike looks like he’s about to puke out that pillow.

I have to admit that I expected a little more Bridezilla out of Yadira. She complains about Alirio being in the car, the fact that they’re late, that her flowers are wilting and that she’s hot. Juan volunteers to roll down the windows (because Lincolns don’t have air conditioning) but she shoots him down. I’m not sure why; I don’t think I’ve ever seen her hair move. Juan thought bubbles to himself about what Marely told Juan about CL. Nidia interrupts his thoughts to point out that with his hair like that, his nose looks bigger. Alirio joins in the making-fun-of-Juan fun. Juan thinks to himself that this is the first time that Alirio and the Cachon women have ever agreed. I was hoping that someone would point out that Juan looks like a leprechaun in that suit, but no such luck.

Back at the church Yvonne complains about being at a Cachon function. Pastor tells her to calm herself and to enjoy; she’s his date this afternoon. Yvonne wants to know why he didn’t come alone if it’s going to be such fun. Pastor explains that he thinks of this more as a joke. Also, he always used to come to these functions with his mother; he doesn’t want to be alone.
Paula and her mother show-up and greet Pastor and Yvonne. Yvonne happily points out that Paula is alone. Um, apparently Yvonne missed Paula’s dress. She may be coming a lone but I can guarantee that she’s not leaving alone! Paula retorts that she’s glad that the two of them (Pastor and Yvonne) are there because she knows she won’t be bored with the entertainment they’ll provide. Ana politely compliments Yvonne’s dress. Once they leave, Yvonne goes back to complaining.

Juan stops to kick everyone except Yadira out of the car. Nidia turns and gives Yadira some advice. Juan hurries her from the car. Bridezilla comes out again and complains about her circus of a wedding.

Ana scolds Paula for “playing” with the secretary. Paula, of course, thinks she did nothing wrong. Paula explains that Yvonne’s worked up about CL. Ana comments that she’s not going to miss that man one bit.

The Cachones finally make an appearance. They immediately run into Pastor and Yvonne. Pastor pays compliments to Nidia. Nidia moves to the Davilas. She greets them and then asks for CL. Yvonne explains that he’s not here and that he’s terrible. Nidia’s preoccupied because CL is her daughter’s godfather and he should be there. Nidia brushes off his absence and heads for the church. Right before she walks in, she runs into Ang. This causes her to spontaneously combust. Just kidding! She passes out into Alirio’s arms. Everyone worriedly flocks to her. Alirio begs her not to leave him alone. He begs Marely to tell him what happened. Marely doesn’t know.

P and I walk away from the crowd and talk about the spectacle. Yvonne thinks there must be something going on there. It was like Nidia knew him somewhere. What if Nidia’s related to Pastor’s brother? Pastor doesn’t see it. They debate whether it’s pregnancy, illness or an act in order to delay the wedding.

Fernando pulls Kike aside. He wants to take Nidia to the hospital. Kike’s not worried about Nidia; he knows that she’s strong and will be fine. Fernando can’t believe they’re going to stand there with their arms crossed while Nidia dies. Kike assures Fernando that Nidia will not die. He points out to Fernando that with the whole family watching, it might be strange if Fernando takes off with Nidia to the hospital.

Juan comments that it’s taking a long time for the sign to come up the road. He wonders out loud if the family forgot about Yadira. Yadira says that Nidia never forgets anything. All of a sudden she freaks out. Kike’s bored of her and decided to leave her in her wedding dress and pregnant with his child. Juan tells her not to even joke about that. He’s sure that Yadira and Kike’s love is for forever. Juan tells Yadira to stay put; he’s going to check on things.
Alirio figures out that it just takes some holy water to wake his Misses. There’s sparse applause. Alirio wants to know what happened, but Nidia just wants to get the show on the road.

Juan approaches Paula and Ana. Paula explains that Nidia fainted, but that she’s okay now. Nidia approaches and asks for the godparents; she wonders if they should be called. At that moment, the Farrell’s walk up to the church. I and P see this and immediately run over to greet CL and Monica. Juan can only think about Paula and how she’s feeling. Nidia tells Juan to go get Yadira. She turns to scold CL and Moni for showing up late.

Juan returns to the car but only finds a discarded bouquet in the back seat.

Nidia prepares Kike for the bride. Kike thanks Nidia for everything. Fernando boldly approaches Nidia and calls her his love. She shushes him. Fernando wants to know why she hasn’t wanted to see him. She explain that nothing’s changed. She doesn’t want him following her because she doesn’t want a scandal. Fernando protests. Yvonne observes the whole transaction with a pensive eyes.

Marely assures Paula that CL and Moni only came together because they’re Yadira’s godparents. Ana puts in her two cents – Paula shouldn’t care because she has nothing to do with that man. Paula shushes them both. Paula stares at them. Marely and Yvonne try to calm her.

Moni catches Paula’s evil eye. She turns to CL and tells him that she knew it wasn’t a good idea to go to the wedding together. Paula looks bothered. CL tells Moni not to worry about Paula. He says that it’s not their problem that the situation is uncomfortable.

Juan finds Yadira on the street corner trying to flag down a taxi. Good thing it’s her wedding day, because any other day and other dress methinks she would be picked up for solicitation. Yadira tries to pulls away from Juan but he won’t let her go. Yadira cries that she doesn’t want to get married. Juan says that if that’s the case then Yadira needs to have the guts to say that to Kike’s face. Juan reminds Yadira about her coming baby. Yadira still protests so Juan tries a different tactic. He carries her down the road.

Yvonne and Pastor loudly talk about how the Cachon family never seems to have things go as they plan. At that moment, Alirio comes rushing down the aisle screaming something about his heart being full of love. The bride has arrived! Nidia shushes him and pushes him into the pew.
The car and a very grumpy Yadira arrive. She reluctantly takes Juan’s hand to get out of the car. They argue under their breath but smile to those standing outside.

Dramatic music plays while Juan and Yadira weave down the aisle. Yadira smacks Kike with her bouquet. Before the ceremony begins, Juan gives the couple a speech about love and staying together until death. He tells Yadira to be obedient, which earns him one wicked look. Before Juan leaves the pair, he warns Yadira that he doesn’t want any more surprises. He steps behind the Pastor and snaps a picture.

During the ceremony, Alirio loses his cool. Nidia reminds him that she’s the mother and she should be the one crying. Alirio says that he’s very sentimental and that it reminds him of his and Nidia’s wedding. This does the trick; Nidia begins to cry.

Fernando stares at Nidia. Yvonne smacks him and warns him that Alirio might catch Fernando staring. Yvonne comments that Nidia’s a little old for Fernando. Fernando accuses Yvonne of being jealous. Yvonne comments that she can’t believe how her friends disregard their wedding vows. Fernando snaps back that must because she’s never been with a married man. Needless to say, this earns him a cold look.

Pastor decides to start a fight. He loudly talks about how good CL and Moni look together. Paula turns and scolds him. Their spat is so loud that even the soon to be newlyweds give them a look. Ana tells Paula to let it go. Paula tells Pastor to stop trying to instigate things.

The novios leave the church and immediately get a rain of flowers and a picture courtesy of Juan. Nidia runs into Anga again. He greats her and we’re left wondering if she’ll pass out again.

Alirio comes over to introduce himself to Anga. Nidia does manage to pass out one more time. Everyone wants to know why.

Guti drowns his sorrows in a drink and a cigar. His woman left him for another man. He smiles and says something along the line of those people should remember who is Ramon Guitierrez.

Nidia’s in bed and having nightmares. Marely and Alirio don’t understand. They want to know what happened; why did she faint twice? Marely assures Nidia that the godparents are taking care of everything downstairs. She wants to know what’s going on with Nidia. Marely thinks that they should cancel the reception and go to the hospital. Nidia asks about where “he” is. Alirio and Marely don’t understand.

Juan tries to cheer Bridezilla. She’s not having it. Yadira complains that whenever her mother is not the center of attention, she has to do something to bring all of the attention and focus back onto her. She accuses her mother of being able to die in order to get all of the attention. Juan reminds Yadira about how loving Nidia is toward her and that this is as though Yadira’s leaving Nidia (even if Yadira’s living at home). Juan tells Yadira that she looks precious. This gets Yadira’s attention. Kike rushes in to ask about the party. The guests are bored and Nidia has not showed up.

Pastor approaches Anga and wants to know who invited him. Anga wants to know why Pastor is so nosy. Pastor says it’s just that he’s curious. It’s interesting that Nidia passes out every time she sees Anga. Pastor asks if there’s something there. Anga says that he came to the party to have fun, not to gossip.

Alirio wants to know about Anga. Marely tells him to go downstairs and take care of the guests. Nidia assures she’ll be down once she gets her second wind. Before he leaves Alirio wants to know if it had anything to do with that man. Nidia claims that she was just overcome with emotion. Alirio leaves and Marely wants to know what happened. Nidia tries the same excuse, but Marely won’t hear it. Nidia says she’ll tell the truth as long as Marely swears not to say anything.

Ana and CL agree that they should leave. Paula thinks that they should have taken Nidia to the hospital. Monica doesn’t agree; it’s not every day that a woman’s daughter marries. Paula urges her mother to leave, but Ana won’t go without knowing about Nidia. Moni also will not allow CL to leave because they are the godparents.

Alirio approaches the microphone to make an announcement. He assures them that his wife will be down in a few minutes. He tells the guests to relax and enjoy the party. Juan starts the music. Moni tells them that she “told them so.” The music begins and the Davilas, the wet blankets that they are, leave just as the party gets started.

Nidia explains that she knew Anga and that he was her first love. When she married Samuel, she was still in love with Anga. Nidia begs Marely not to scold her. She explains that back in the day things were different; Nidia didn’t have an option. Nidia says that the positive is that if she had married Anga then she wouldn’t have her beautiful daughters. Nidia explains that when she saw Anga all of her emotions washed over hear and she was overwhelmed.

Alirio enjoys his drink and watches over the party. Alirio points at Pastor and complains about Kike inviting him. Juan defuses the situation and pushes Alirio to another part of the tent. Juan takes away Alirio’s drink, but Alirio just grabs another fresh one and goes on about Pastor. Pastor watches this with a smile on his face.

Nidia finally comes down to the party and announces her arrival. Oh, I guess Paula and Ana didn’t leave. Yadira glares at Nidia; Nidia watches Anga; Marely watches Anga and her mother and Anga blows Nidia a kiss.

Juan wanders around the party taking photos. He thinks how he wouldn’t change a thing. He thinks about the family and how happy he is for Kike. At the very end of the episode; he gets a picture with the two loves of his life.

Vocab: Privarse - “to turn blue” kind of like our “she was so sick she turned green before running off to the bathroom”

Would someone please tag this for me. My laptop is broken so I borrowed my mom's. I don't want to download the tagging program onto her computer. Thanks!

If you pre-ordered the LFMB DVDs from Amazon or someplace else online, you've probably already heard the news - the release, which was supposed to be next week, has been delayed until FEBRUARY 19!!

I don't know why. But it's a bummer. :(

Well we start out with the embarrassing scene of Dr Blandie picking up all his toys and going home. Actually, suffering extreme buyer’s remorse for the “Kiss of Broken Dreams”, he pecked at Gavi the night before. His poor heart is broken and he will be taking a job in Madrid and Gavi will be going to London. Personally I find this a bit self-serving as Gavi & Clarita would have been better off in Spain. At least Clarita would have had her TeleNovelas. Alas perhaps Dr. BlandHat is not as noble as we once thought. Gavi is all teary eyed at the thought of losing her mentor, but never to viewed as romantic possibility.

Over at Montalvo, Aaron is saying he is going to be very busy with the job & he doesn’t need anything from Rod. Aaron is gloating. Rod is same to you and leaves.

Gavi goes to talk to Av*, he tells her that her new boss will meet them at the airport and he will take them to their new apartment. Much luck, you’ll do a fine job in London. Gavi asks if she can give him a hug. She does and you just know Av* is totally looking forward to getting both Blandie and Gavi out of his hair and maybe he can actually enjoy his do nothing position as he milks the remaining time before his huge retirement settlement.

Now Blandie is giving Nancy of many tears a big hug. She is but a few tears away from complete hysteria. The hug continues, I am forced to wonder, had Blandie spent a bit more time groping that and less time pining away for Gavi, hmmmm. Would we be in the predicament we are now in?
Gavi comes forth to say good bye to Blandie. He does the “Hasta Luego” & puts his hand out for a proper shake. Gavi cries and give him a big platonic hug. Blandie turns and leaves. Nancy having given Blandie a much longer & closer hug, wails at her desk lamenting what could have been.

Over to the Hacienda, James is in the fields, the Agave disease is spreading faster than the new MRSA outbreak. James wants to call the CRT. How did this happen? Roman says the Agave did not receive the correct treatment, something isn’t right. Meester stern voiced James tells Basilio to wait for him at the house.

Now Erika stops in to see Gavi. Erika says she doesn’t have much time so let’s get to the point. Gavi is indeed a smart-ass, thinking Erika has come to revel in taking Rod from Gavi. Gavi tells Erika not to worry the earlier scandal created in the restaurant won’t be repeated. Gavi says she isn’t interested and she is pressed for time, Gavi is off for new adventures in a foreign land. She takes the tickets out and sneers, see see I am going. If you are in love with Rod that is your problem. Erika looks all wan and continues to talk in her monotone psychologist voice. Erika says she sat in silence at the restaurant and now it is time for Gavi to listen. She says Rod committed many errors and she could not treat him as a regular patient, that was her first error. Gavi gives her the “Ya think”? Erika continues she took Rod on the weekend to the “Villa of Locos, Not Loco enough for a Hospital, but Loco enough to pay huge fees for Yoga classes”, so she could know him better. Gavi inserts, yeah and you got to know each other real good. Erika continues, He was a man with a grande obsession for one woman. Gavi says, “Thanks for your treatment and miracles and now your are with him.”
Gavi can seriously do the snark when she wants, personally I would have wanted to do a serious smack down on the good doctor and her monotone voice.
We were friends..then well Rod was just so damn fascinating. Enough, Gavi wants details. Well as time went on, you didn’t call, you didn’t write, then the whole CRT event, the bad behavior at Dona Pilar’s that is when he began to share some very special feelings with me, that is when I fell in love with him. Gavi says, “You know what, I don’t want to hear anymore.” Erika for the sake of honesty continues, “Rod shared some beautiful things, but he isn’t for me, only you are in his heart. The night after the restaurant he came to me and said he would discontinue his therapy, because alas he is love with you. Gavi is muy muy muy impacted. I too am muy muy muy impacted. Was this confession not just the lamest thing you ever heard? She actually called that weekend of the scent fetish and the continued dinners, hair flipping, dancing, arm touching, “ therapy”. In all fairness I believe, there are professional girls being charged with pandering, who could as easily be termed a psychologist. Say Erika doesn’t this normally end up as a movie on Lifetime?

Rod is signing papers for his annulment, Videgaray tells him the Padre doesn’t see any problem with it. Videgaray says that Isa’s lawyer is still putting out demands. Rod says too bad, she isn’t getting a penny until she complies with his demands. Videgary moves on to tell Rod that Clarita donated the land to the church.

Back to Erika who is telling Gavi, now Rod is alone yet again, and you are running off to London. You must put away your pride and talk to him. Erika is crying, Gavi is crying..This is just so annoying.
Now Erika gives Gavi the Tequilia Trophy and says Gavi has to decide what to do with it. Gavi needs to decide, but poor Rod just loves her so much. In actuality, she is removing any trace of Rod should a lawsuit follow. The couch has already been torched just in case there were any DNA traces. Erika then tells Lassie to go find Timmie in the well. Erika leaves. Gavi doesn’t know what to do. The phone rings, it is Dani. Gavi asks why Rod didn’t call; knowing Gavi was on her way to London.

James is grilling Basilio; Basilio is trying to cover well, yes his own ass. He says he did what Frankie told him. James is calling the CRT. Basilio pretty much thinks of himself as a deadman.

Dani says Rod went to the apartment last night and saw Blandie was there. Rod gave up any hope for reconciliation. Gavi calls Margarita, Rod is gone. Gavi gets the airline and flight info and starts yelling for Nancy. Nancy doesn’t answer and we see Gavi pick up her purse and run out the door.
My husband said Blandie had Nancy in a closet, they finally realized their attraction.

Aaron is talking to his dimwitted father in the office. He will meet with some bankers and he is still trying to distribute his Turquoise Tequila. Aaron calls Margarita in. He starts giving her orders and does the CokeHead thing where he is telling her to hurry up and pounding on his brief case. Margarita tells him she is quitting to go work for Rod. Bruno gives her some orders and Aaron grabs her and throws her out of the office. Bruno just stands there and watches. Bruno is such a wuss, now this is seriously one man who could have benefited from an amante that would have covered his back.

Just when Av* is ready kick back, put his feet up and breathe easy…..Here comes Pammy’s father. He has proof of Aaron export irregularities to Europa Orient (I am not sure where that is, I guess we aren’t fighting terrorists there so they won’t come here…but I fear they may when they hear we have good Tequila). Dad pulls out a big ol book of copies of his transgressions. Av* says if the doc’s are true, this is a very serious dilema. Dad says check them against the CRT archive. Av* looks like he can’t believe his misfortune. His dreams of salad days are wilting. When Aaron dumped Pammie, Dad decided to look into the rumors of bad credit and misdeeds, it wasn’t easy, but now he has the proof.

Gavi runs up to the counter, ooopppss, sorry the plane is gone. She is too late.

Rod is seated in a bar, he is harassing the waitress for a big ol heaping helping of Tequila. The waitress now goes over to Gavi who orders the same. The waitress needs to find another bottle, Gavi is arguing with the waitress when Rod starts yelling for the waitress. Gavi gets up out of her seat as Rod is getting up to go chase down poor underpaid waitress forced to dress like a Scottish Bagpiper, I might add. Gavi and Rod come face to face.

An argument ensues, it seems to be about Tequila and who will get to be on the “I need a Transplant” list first. We all know the argument is not about Tequila. The waitress is trying to get them to each return to their own tables, should she call the police? This causes more cute couple snarking recalling their prior stint in the jail. Gavi is yelling Tarado at Rod which translates as "Git", so true so true. Soon every patron of said cocktail lounge is involved in the tale. Oh yes could this get anymore embarrassing, ah but of course. Gavi starts saying how he was just going to let her go to London, he didn’t care. He says, she is so freakin important she was going off on her career. She says, you didn’t call. He says, you didn’t want me; I was jealous crazy for love, a maniac. Rod continues, I had to see a psychologist. Gavi counters, Yeah one with 90 60 90 (centimeters I, guess that is hawt by metric standards), one who wines and dines you in fine restaurants. One who spends the weekend at a hotel, then you spent the night in her apartment. This causing murmuring amongst the thrilled listeners. I guess Gavi isn’t ready to forgive and forget.
Seriously if I was there, I be listening, commenting and throwing them down, cause there is a good chance these two AssHats are gonna pick up the tab.
Rod answers, yeah a lot you know about it..you were so busy with Dr Blondie, so distracted. You couldn’t call. Gavi gets teary and answered, I called ask you secretary and your sister, I knew you were suffering over your son. You swore, you swore, you would want me at your side in those moments, but that night you went to her, her apartment.

You can see the crowd is turning on Rod. Rod yells back, you wanted me to come to your apartment and cry like a little boy? “Yes, Yes”, Gavi yells back.
Right like he was too proud? This idiot has cried in nearly every location in Mexico City.
Gavi says she sat at home and suffered alone knowing he was suffering and he cared naught.
Gavi sits down at a table.
Women are glaring at Rod and men won’t look at him, the men move away as if Rod’s AssHattedNess could be catching and they don’t want their mujers to go all Gaviota on their asses.

Women pat Gavi and give her tissues. Rod is maniac and trying to explain how he needed to break his Gavi dependence. He rants he raves…finally gets down on his knees & says he loves her..Gaviota. Rodriego..much deep kissing. The crowd cheers. There is much face eating.
You know all these people would be retelling the story on the way home, my Gawd, strangers and now they know more about these two than they do their own spouses. It was kinda creepy fascinating, like you want to look away, but you can’t.

Av* is talking to some official, Aaron must be brought to justice.

Rod is having another Tequila, yes Rod if I was you I would have to maintain a semi drunken state for the rest of my days, just in case I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and had to face me. They talk about Gavi going to London. Rod says he thought she was in love with Blandie, being that they spent 24 hours a day together. Gavi tells him no, that Blandie is off to Madrid, because those Spaniards have been enjoying a huge surge in lifestyle, they are part of EU, they are enjoying a higher standard of living and something needs to damper that fireball and what could be better than Blandie. Six months of him and they will be back to herding sheep on mountainsides and the whole town sitting around watching a fuzzy black and white TV with rabbit ears on a Saturday night. Rod has an idea, he pulls Gavi to her feet and takes off.

We get to see an inside commerical with two people drinking a Blanco Gaviota. An infomercial for Tequila.

Rod & Gavi are standing in line at a ticket counter. Rod queries if it was Dani who told Gavi to seek Rod. No she says, it was Erika, she came to see me. Gavi starts telling him that Erika was very much in love with Rod and they had beautiful times together. Rod tries to play this off. Gavi like any true woman is not going to let him get away with it. She wants to know details. Finally to the counter Rod buys two tickets to San Luis Potosi. Gavi wants to talk..Rod says they need three days for their “Honeymoon” and to talk about their future.

Gavi is concerned because Erika said Rod now knows he can love another woman. Erika said this to Gavi and I was confused. I think it means Rod can LOVE another woman or at least until the physical act is complete. In other words, Rod is now like any other man. Gavi wants to know what happened..Rod keeps say absolutely nothing. Gavi wants to know just what was their relationship?
Yeah Rod millions of us are waiting for this one. I gotta say if Dude was a defendant in trial right now, and I was on the jury, he’d be getting life no hope of parole, cause damn Dude you are just screaming guilty as charged.
Rod tries to pull the don’t want to go with me? Fine I’ll go by myself, just go with me to the plane.

James is talking to Sofie on the phone, (Sofie who continues to wear her collection of “Death to a Marriage Outfits”, Sofie you are not a Southern Belle in Atlanta and wish as you might, Frankie did not die from a Yankee bullet..you do not have to wear black for a year). Basically James is passing on the news that the Agave is rotting on the vines. Sofie passes the message to Dani, the doorbell rings and the servant says Josefina Chavez wants to speak to Sofie. Jose comes in and announces she is the mother of Sofie’s husband. Sofie is muy impacted.

Gavi isn’t going anywhere with Rod without the truth. Finally he says he was attracted to Erika nothing more. He spent the night on her couch that was it, nothing happened. Gavi says how does Erika know Rod can love another woman? Once again, I believe this refers to the horizonal sense. Rod says beats me, it is a theory. Nothing happened, believe me, I love only you. He finally says fine good luck. Then turns around grabs her and carries her off to the airplane. The security guy is trying to scan them. If this was America it would be all over CNN.

Stay tuned..hopefully these people will shut the hell up in the next episode
Frankie tries to pick up a chick
Rod asks Gavi to marry him..

This leads me to wonder…Will he ever confess to trying to throw Erika the bone?
