Caray, Caray!

So, La Guerra, Ana Maria Torres can’t come play at Pancho’s house she is in training, but she tells Frida to fight for what she wants, (apparently not having met Moni or asked Pepe who he loves), Freddy needs to rescue Ana, begs Pancho, Temo is rescuing Rebe from her veil of tears, someone needs to rescue Pancho from the hot Auditor, Lamberto needs someone to rescue him from Tax Fraud charges as he is whisked off to jail in front of an astounded Agatita (or Katita).

Freddy starts on his campaign to wait outside the bathroom door until Ana opens up although she cries out for help behind the lock. Pancho orders two drinks with Bella until Rebe and Temoc come to rescue Pancho. Temoc asks leading questions about how Freddy is going to help Ana. The maid Chucha fills Rebe in on the lastest with Ana.

Freddy and Ana talk through the door about her inability to forgive so she drove Freddy into Kari’s arms but she is sorry now. Still the tears flow as if a truckload of fresh onions were delivered to the set.

Moni still in her pheasant (no not peasant) jacket talks with Chela with Kari in tow. Chela is barely civil to Kari but acknowledges that she is Moni’s BFF but still her actions toward Freddy = against Ana are eating at Chela who leaves the room.

Frida keeps trying to cuddle up to Pepe and tell him how marvelous it has been with him giving her his total attention all day every day for all these months. She tries to kiss him again and again he gives in. This story line is so smarmy on Frida’s part and so bloody lame on Pepe’s that I think I am going to have a little cry.

Candy and Vicente continue to toast amorously under the sword of Damocles unaware that their idyllic honeymoon is going to bring on the killer bees very, very soon. Kiss and sip while you can lovers.

The Auditrix offers to come back at a more convenient time and Rebe says yes things are quite a mess here with Ana. Pancho really wants to ignore the fiasco in the bathroom and entertain the hot auditor. He gets the call about Lambi and continues to act the ass (heehaw!) They argue about convening back at the office when he can concentrate on the audit at hand, and she leaves then Rebe starts to cry again about oh so many things.

Lupita and Tomas watch the Auditrix leave then come in to tell Pancho and Rebe that Ana is taking some really strange pills and they are all scared. Across the garden, Chela gets the call and leaves Enzo and Paco while she rushes to the family summit meeting. Chucha goes for a key to get Ana’s bedroom unlocked. A major intervention takes place with the Analemia (sorry all you dedicated medical folk, I couldn’t resist the urge.) Pancho orders Lupita to call Doc Oc while Analemia screams and her eye makeup almost runs, well no, it must be those plastic glue-ons.

As she is left at her door step after a forced romantic moment in Pepe’s car, Frida tries with all her might to make the next meeting with Pepe one of lovers, I think. He goes off to check the family. Frida should be aware of how second string she would always be with the Lopez gang or maybe ask Enzo how it goes when the summit is called.

Katita or is it Agatita, Pancho’s secretary has followed to the police station and tries to comfort Lamberto behind the cell bars. He doesn’t understand how he could have been accused of such infamy when he has always been so honest.

Analemia continues her denials when Pepe comes in she stands up to get away from the intervention but falls unconscious into her Papancho’s arms with the full junta standing around. After commercials she is out cold on the bed while Pancho phones to hear Doc Oc give the important information that she needs to be brought in. Brilliant.

The Auditrixy and her blond assistant, Jimena, discuss how missed an opportunity she had to have a sexy dinner with Pancho but the chaos that ensued made that impossible. She is so impressed with this fine specimen of a man, that Audi hopes the irregularities in the books at Avon were not Pancho’s fault.

Sandri and Chacho discuss his need for rescue from impotence I think? What is old and doesn’t function well anymore and how awful is this for a man. Lumbria (fire? or libido) is something else for Sandri. She would rather have the love and faithfulness of a man, that is sexy to her. He still thinks he doesn’t deserve her but she has other plans in her splendid red satin peignoir. He is about to get a fun lesson in middle age compensations.

Isabella (Auditrix) and her assistant Jimena talk about the ideal kind of man like Pancho who is not intimidated by high functioning professional women. They need a plan to find them if they can’t steal one from a high functioning but pregnant woman like Rebe.

Chela finally calls home to update Enzo and Moni who is still in the pheasant jacket that Ana is gravely ill in the hospital again, and now being examined by Doc Oc.

Freddy calls home to scare his MomsAmors that he is in the hospital but explains quickly that it is Ana he is there for sure and he regrets that he will not be able to go away on their trip tomorrow. Adoration is there to encourage Pina to accept that to be really happy, Freddy will eventually be with Ana.

Auditrix has called Pancho again and is offering very kindly to help with the problem with Lamberto’s arrest. Pancho doesn’t want to let go of anything but she reminds him of the chaos surrounding him and this is the least she can do. She realizes that there is some mistake that a man like Lamberto has been accused of so many accounting sins. She makes a call but is told it is not likely Lambi can be sprung this late in the night so we see a forlorn Lambi crying at the gray cell walls. The sky has indeed finally fallen on our poor gallo pequeño. He knew it would come to this end somehow but he swears to the gloom that he has done nothing wrong.

Pancho has his turn to cry for his wonderful daughter Ana. Moni comforts Pepe about his sister and they bond but we see a dark room with Frida replaying her pitch at Pepe and giving him kisses which he does return but doesn’t initiate: DOESN’T INITIATE, FRIDA, are you listening???

Doc Oc and his staff review the weak condition of Ana whose resistance is very low. Chela says it’s because she hasn’t eaten for so long. Temoc cries. Then in the chapel, Pancho cries some more. The very pregnant Rebe can still run as she rushes into the chapel. Pancho is then concerned for her and they leave.

Auditrixi and Jimena discuss that they have no update from Pancho but he is passing through the most difficult time. So Audi has turned into a good one for sure. She appreciates Pancho and looks like she will solve his fiscal nightmares if she can.

Doc Oc affirms that Ana has been taking these dastardly pills for some time and she is now at risk for general renal failure. He can’t lie to them that this could be fatal. We are subjected to another bout of crying all around.

Pepe hears that Doc Oc must wait to see how Ana reacts to the treatment. For now her vital signs are stable. Temoc takes it the hardest or maybe Chela. Ana is so important to all of them.

The Family lawyer show up to rescue Lambi telling him that he can get him out but has to talk to Pancho who is now occupied otherwise with his ill daughter. The fine must be paid and so Lambi should hang cool while the lawyer can get the mess straightened out when he can get Pancho’s attention. Lambi understands but cries some more.

The family has been up all night apparently and discuss how Enzo needs to take Chela to see her baby and Dona Fer thinks Rebe better go rest to protect her babies. She resists leaving Pancho but finally agrees to go with Enzo and Chela for a rest.

The universal phone ring tells Pancho that someone is calling Ana for work, he answers just as Chucho’s phone rings exactly the same and he gets astounding news.

Enzo and Chela leave Rebe resting with the promise that he will go to work since no one is in at their level at Avon and Chela will be across the garden with her baby if Rebe needs anything.

The phones keep ringing, Frida calls her AMOR Pepe and finds out he can’t come for her. She looks ready to fly to the hospital. Moni looks worried on the side. And here she (Frida that is, I know this is coming so fast) comes in the hospital to jump Pepe while Moni watches sadly. (Did I say how much I HATE this story line? But no one is listening to me.) After commercials, Moni stomps out of the waiting room. To add insult to injury Adrien shows up and in front of Freddy asks Pancho how the lovely Ana is doing and how concerned he is for her.

Lovely Barbara in that one shoulder cocktail dress for breakfast gives tea and sympathy to Rebe who is in bed but still dressed with makeup and jewelry just in case.

At Avon, Dona Fer takes over the audit and assures Auditrix that Lamberto is honest as the day is long and if anything of his accounts is off she is sure it is nothing more than an error. She acknowledges that he is an extremely nervous type which doesn’t look good but means nothing.

Enzo tries to assess the office needs with Agata while Chela calls saying there is no milk for Paco but Ador’s mom shows up behind her with a bottle all ready so all is well and one baby is saved! Whew!

Pina actually shows up at the hospital to comfort Freddy and even hugs Pancho. Sandi pulls Chucho into a medical office hall way concerned that he is not all functioning apparently unaware of the Lopez debacle. Doc Oc shows up to say Ana probably needs a kidney (riñon) transplant.

Dona Fer helps Lami get through the audit questions and says the overcharges (recargos) will have to be repaid. Lambi laments that he has no money.

Moni cries in Enzo’s arms that Frida showed up to take over Pepe so she came to Enzo’s office to cry.

Lupita tells Rebe there is no news but Rebe begins to cry again that Pancho is so worried he is at the hospital. She continues to cry to Barbara.

The slick politico shows up and asks to see Enzo. He thinks Enzo must want more than to be a vice president? He offers Enzo a presidency in another company. Too slick to understand all of it.

Moni pouts dry eyed about Frida’s invasion to Chela. Pancho cries to Lupita that he is not a compatible match to donate a kidney to Ana and she is probably going to die. Pepe points out that one of the kids may be compatible. Temoc says he will give anything to save Ana. Pancho has to tell him he is too young. Adrien actually works on Temoc to distract and calm him. He is so good with kids.

The slick guy keeps urging Enzo to do business so Enzo finally agrees to take his papers to think about the offer when he looks at the papers he says but this company isn‘t here. Where is it ? Monteray is the happy answer. So it seems it is an offer to be president of his company. Enzo is still puzzled but gets rid of the political for a moment.

Moni gets the “lucha para el” speech from Chela. Who cares if it is Frida, Fulana or Mongana. It is time for Moni to realize her own worth and fight for Pepe if she wants him back. Chela gives her the best step-moms pep talk as if she were one of her nieces. Moni looks full of determination before we go off to commercials and tales of the prostitutes dogging the poor secret service guys on their visit to Colombia. Oh noes! Those pesky Colombianos make us smoke stuff, sniff stuff and now xxxx stuff? For shame! (Sorry I couldn’t help it.)

Pancho has a woman doctor explain the bulimia process and effects to him. Seems very thorough and well presented.

Chacho and Sandru wait for the doctor to cure his problem and restore his self esteem. When he is called by the receptionist, Sandru makes him go into the doctor’s office alone. The doc takes out a glove and prepares to check his prostate to see if there is inflammation, but Chacho doesn’t let go of his jeans or his lollipop so how is this going to happen? This is a bit of stupidity in an otherwise fairly straight forward “all medical all the time” episode. Is this the comic relief?

Adrien and Freddy square off about Ana and who has the right to love her more.

Moni shows up asking to talk with Tomas about what has happened. Tomas updates her while Frida glares.

Chacho minces out of the office and teases Sandra with his problem but then proudly assures her that his equipment is all just great. He hobbles out of the office with her in tow.

Pancho visits the sleeping Ana. He cries that he tried to give her his kidney but cannot. He hopes she knows he would do anything for her.

Candi adjusts Vicente’s tie as he plans to go to the office in his suit I think. They kiss and he leaves. She calls Chela who is putting on makeup.

Pepe shows up in the waiting room saying he is not a match to Ana either so it remains for Lupita to be tested. Frida all proprietary as though if she acts like Pepe’s lover she soon will be, but he sits across from her and can see Moni walk in behind Frida. Moni is playing the conversation in her head of Chela’s pep talk to fight for her love. She walks right in with a warm smile and sits down next to Pepe giving him the most passionate of kisses which he obviously enjoys. As Moni walks away, Frida acts all bent out of shape (why did she assume what she obviously assumed? Who knows why they are making all the poor girls in this show such mindless immoral wretches, can you all see smoke coming out of my ears right now?)

Doc Oc talks to Pancho alone to say that he has tested his two children and only one is compatible to make an organ donation and it is …..Lupita.

Next time: More tears, the scary pre-operation moment between the sisters, and the reentry of Vicente to the office so I think we shall see soon what he thinks of the irregularities in the books…

El Refrito
Padre is proud of Gael.
Alfie receives Guido the visitor in her recámara. He arranges a job for Paolo in the procesadora.
It’s Ingrid Navarro (played by Isabella Camil)! Gael’s mama is back!


Lo Nuevo
Padre gives Ingrid a piece of his mind for having abandoned her child. She had no other choice! She had nothing to offer the child! Padre tells her that Gael may be a grown man,he doesn't need a mother. Padre always had the feeling that for her, Gael was a problem. Gael thinks his parents are dead. Ingrid understands that her sudden appearance is going to shake things up, but she wants to get her child back. Padre thinks she has no right to bother Gael. She is going to fight to get him back. She takes her rolling bag and leaves. Padre prays.

Elisa calls home and explains the Gabino/Lucio drama to Carmeany. Elisa asks her aunt to explain to dad she’ll be with her madrina. As Carmeany hangs up, Lola asks who was calling so late. Carmeany lies and says it was a wrong number.

Blanca talks to the unconscious Lucio. Typical “you've got to get better/don’t leave me alone/I need you” TN dialogue. Elisa comes in to check on Lucio. Blanca (wow she’s a drippy crier) asks if Elisa called home. Blanca is glad Elisa is there with her. Pessimism and tears…until Lucio wakes and wants water, wonders why Blanca is crying and asks who died . That old scamp!

Dam comes looking for Flo in her bedroom. He sees the amulet and throws it in the trash. Flo asks why he did that. Dam explains he now thinks it’s not worth it. It’s a bit of foolishness. He bought it to help his father and a few days later he died, so the amulet is not as lucky as he thought. Flo tells him not to think of it as an amulet but as just something pretty. She rescues it from the trash and puts it on. Smoochies and sax (not a typo.)

Gael comes looking for Padre in the church. Padre tells him he’s praying for God to give Gael strength to face the problems life is going to throw at him. Gael doesn’t understand and Padre explains that suddenly he realizes that Gael is grown and while Padre has given him everything he could, decisions about Gael’s life are all in Gael’s hands. Padre Lupe is Gael’s dad…not bio-dad, but you know what I mean. He tried to give him as normal a life as he could. Padre explains further how much he loves Gael and how everything he did was from the heart. He knows he may have made mistakes, but he cares about Gael and loves him like a son.. Gael would never judge him harshly. They hug. Fabulous scene. *recapper gets misty eyed*

Meahwhile, Ingrid has arrived at the hotel and is being shown her room. The Lady of the Inn (played by one of the gossips in STuD) is nosy and asks her how long she’s staying and if she’s seen Ingrid before in La Ermita. She seems familiar. Suddenly Ingrid is messing with her hair and appears to me to be trying to hide her face. Ingrid denies having been in town before. Nosy Lady of the Inn says she must have confused the guest with someone else and leaves.

Lucio is annoyed at having to stay at the hospital. Dr. Toofar says he can go home, but must rest and may still have a headache and dizziness. Doc asks if they will be pressing charges against Gabino. Blanca says yes. Lucio says no. He thinks it would just make things worse.  Blanca tells Elisa to head home. She has to rest after spending THE WHOLE NIGHT at the hospital. As she leaves she asks Doc if he has the results of the blood test yet. He doesn’t, but he will let her know as soon as he does.

Gabino is waiting for Elisa right outside the hospital. He asks about Lucio and Elisa tells him he’s fine, but if anything had happened to Lucio Gabino would be in jail. Gabino says everything is ok, so there's nothing to pay. Thanks to the CC I know is mush mouthed line was that he wanted to kiss Elisa the night before and find out if she was as skilled as her mother (lines I wish I *hadn't* gotten a translation for.) Elisa tells him not to talk bad about her mother.  Doc T comes out and asks if there’s a problem. Elisa says it’s nothing she can’t solve herself. Gabino slithers away.

Is it sad how much I 1. Love the theme song and 2. Look forward to seeing Steffie with little Elisa in the opening credits?

Lola tells Assgusto how worried she is that Elisa did not sleep at home ‘cause Carmeany is a beech and didn’t tell anyone about Lucio and the hospital and OMG the orange ho’ is in the next room eavesdropping and smiling like crazy. *recapper seethe* Assgusto, of course, thinks the worst of his daughter. She must have spent the night with someone.

Paolo clearly enunciates his disgust with the coffee. Dam comes in and finds out that his mami has found a position for the Lay-about-Paolo at the procesadora. Dam goes to his mother’s room to ask about it. She’s miffed he doesn’t ask about her health first. He asks about her health like a good little mama’s boy. Alfabitch says she’s fine and now will answer his question. Yes, Paolo the Slouch will now be working at the procesadora as a favor to Guido. Dam is non-plussed. Paolo doesn’t even know how to clip his own nails! He doesn’t want to work; he just wants easy money and will cause problems. Alfie is willing to run the risk. Dam doesn’t seem to be interested in running the place, so she has to find someone who is. Paolo may not be an Arango, but he’s like family. Dam argues that Paolo el Perezoso hasn’t the ability to run the Arango procesadora. Well, at least he’s interested, says Alfie. What bothers Dam more: that Paolo will be in charge or that he’s staying to get close to Elisa? Dam says Elisa has nothing to do with it, but mom thinks it does.

Elisa arrives home only to be thwacked by Assgusto. *recapper seethes again* Assgusto accuses her of spending the night with Paolo and tries to backhand her, but Elisa explains everything…even about calling the house and leaving a message with Carmina, who comes in and plays like she completely forgot. *recapper seethe rage seethe* Carmina tells her to wash up and change so they can go to Dr. Toofar’s office. Elisa says no way. Assgusto offers a feeble-ass apology. Elisa doesn’t accept it and tells dad he will never hit her again. Assgusto stink-eyes Carmina. Carmina manages to look a smidge contrite, but it’s just a ruse *seethe seethe seethe*. Lola has seen all of this and she looks pithed.

Alfonsina and Bore-gonia gossip about the Gab/Lucio fight and Gabino in general. Bore-gonia comes up with a take on the fight that makes it look like a flirty Elisa is to blame. Alfie agrees that must be what happened.

Dr. Toofar tries to explain to Paloma about his hugging the Orange. She knows what she saw and “hugging” is very different from “about to kiss”; but really he doesn’t need to explain it’s none of her business. He asks her not to tell anyone since really anything there was between he and Carmina is over. Paloma is glad to hear this and tries to explain that aside from him being married and having a family, Carmina is also a selfish, unfeeling, self-serving spider who will do whatever it takes to get what she wants. Doc doesn’t think Paloma should badmouth his little Naranja o’ lava luvin’. Paloma says she knows what’s she’s talking about- that woman has caused all kinds of suffering for Elisa.

Elisa is applying make-up to cover the bruise left by her ass of a father. Lola apologizes to Elisa for telling Assman about Elisa not sleeping at home. Elisa thinks the blame lies squarely with Carmina for not giving Assman the message. Lola connects the Elisa called/wrong number dots and asks Elisa if she wants her to tell her dad that Carmina hid the information about Elisa’s whereabouts on purpose. Elisa says it won’t help. Tia Naranja hated her since even when her mom was alive and will do anything to destroy her. Lola says as long as she’s around she won't allow that.

Paolo makes a visit. Tia tells him Elisa probably won’t see him and would probably be pithed that Paolo is there. This leads to a conversation about whether the stuff they say in town about her is true. Tia says she can help him and he can find out  for himself if what they say is true or not. Paolo wants to know why Tia is so ready to help him. She tells him that’s her business and to trust her. Paolo: slimy, lazy and blinded by Naranja’s *ahem* assets.

What you are about to hear is a montón of mierda . Tia apologizes to Elisa about not giving Assman the message last night. Elisa doesn’t believe a word of it and knows Tia did it so the father/daughter relationship will continue to disintegrate. Tia monologues about being sorry. She wishes they got along better and how untrue it is she wants their relationship to be so bad. Tia says she wants the three of them to have a normal home life and she’ll do whatever she can for that to happen. *recapper wretches* Segue to the doctor’s appointment. Tia says the reconciliation ball is Elisa's court. Elisa agrees to go with Tia.  Tía cancelled the appointment. The results aren’t ready. Well, says Elisa, let me know when they are. I can go with you and get my results to. Cara naranja impactada de Tia. Elisa explains about the blood work Doc took the night before.

Assman talks to Doc about not being able to get Elisa to the office for the blood sample. Doc lets him know he took advantage of the Lucio situation and got the sample and the two samples have already been sent to Mérida. Doc will let Assman know the results when they are ready. Soon they will know if Elisa is his daughter.

Alfabitch meets Hot Horacio. She gripes about references but Gabino vouches for him. After Alfie and Gabino leave Hot Horacio and Tonia talk. “So you’re Lolita’s friend?” “So your husband is the one that won't leave Lola in peace?” Tonia gets huffy and leaves to show him his new living arrangements.

Gael is back at work on the Castñon habanero fields. Assgusto arrives (with cracked glasses). They blabbity blah about swallowing pride—Gael to come back, and Assman to accept him back. Blah blah habanero production. Problems, hard work yammer yammer. And that’s not just about habeneros. You love Elisa, don’t you? Asks Don Assman. Gael admits he does and in respect to her he won’t be standing around “a brazos cruzados.”

When Padre catches up with Elisa on the street he mentions her bruise. She tells him she bumped into something. I don't think Padre believes her. He walks with her to Blanca’s shop. He is aware that both Dam and Gael have feelings for Elisa and have since they were young. He asks Elisa to please be cautious and not let either boy get hurt. Elisa assures Padre she has made it clear to Gael that her feelings for him are purely platonic and as for Dam, he’s marrying someone else and it’s clear that to him she is just a childhood friend (stable smoochies nonwithstanding.)

Alfie wants Gabino to tell her about the Lucio business. (Before he really gets going he tries to sit down and Alfie shoots him a look and he gets back up…it was quite funny.) Gabino mumbles through his version claiming he was just being sociable and saying hi to Elisa. Lucio hit him for no reason. *lying asp*  Alfie leads the witness and Gabino agrees that yes, what really happened was that Elisa was flirting. That is what Gabino is to tell everyone.

Alfie, Paolo and Flo browbeat Damian into taking Paolo for a tour of the procesadora.

Paloma returns the dress to the shop. The girls kvetch about Gabino and then Tia. Paloma notices the bruise and Elisa explains. Paloma asks what Elisa would do if she had some dirt on Tia; something that would make Assgusto throw the Orange out. Elisa thinks that would cause a huge scandal and though she doesn’t think Daddy loves Tia, he still would not take kindly to being a cukold twice over. Besides, she may be a shrew but Tia does love Daddy. Elisa doesn't think she could do something like get her aunt thrown out since she's sick. *recapper eyerolls*. Paloma leaves (probably to stop herself from spilling the frijoles.)

Doc considers Paloma’s words about the Odious Orange and POP! Goes the Sleazel! ™ in she walks. She asks if he talked to Paloma. Doc tells her there is nothing between them. A decision the Orange made, not he. She asks if he is in love with her and we get to hear all over again how he is BSC in love with her. He knows that she and Assman are trying to save their marriage and Orange goes into manipulation mode. “Woe is me! Assgusto has never forgotten Steffie! How do you save a marriage like that? He loves a ghost and I love another man. I love you! ” Kiss of the spider woman! Any lines said after that is a bit…er…garbled. Oh wait! I catch a “show me” and a “fake the paternity tests”! Doc is ethical quandary impactada.

Avances

• Paolo is staying for Elisa!
• Rumors fly!
• Damian gets pithed!

The notary looks like he is going to blackmail her.

Tonio goes to see El Viral with the pills and he tells her she will have to doctor them up again. She doesn't want anymore to do with that, but he puts her in a chokehold and tells her she better or he will go to the police.

Army and Angel are unpacking at the apt and they talk once again about Flor knowing what he did with Flor and that he is a coward and she will never forgive him.

 Previously on El Talisman:

Pigorio and Tonio are arguing about Alcatrash and how Tonio and Lucrazy will never get it

Tonio has flashbacks about Pigorio abusing him as a kid.

Today on El Talisman:

Pedro and Claudio are in a car on the way to LA and they are talking about Mariana and going to see Margarito.

Yenny and Lucarzy meet, Lucrazy wants to know if Yenny followed the plan. She says she will and Lucrazy thought bubbles how she will be spending the entire night with Pedro without interruption. Yenny calls Cameela and tells her she will have to go to LA tomorrow and meet with the personnel director named Gloria Espinosa. Cameela says she can’t wait to go and is very excited. She hangs up with Yenny, Lucrazy and Yenny have essentially sent Cameela on a wild

Goose chase to a boss that doesn’t exist and by that time Lucrazy will be pregnant with Pedro’s child.

Cameela goes to the hospital and tells El Viral she is going to LA tomorrow for the job. El

Viral is not happy, but Cameela tells her we already talked about this.

Padre Sebastian calls Pedro on the road and tells him the orphans are coming from Mexico.

Angel and Army talk to Cameela and Tia Maria is there too. She insists on getting a plane ticket for Cameela and Angel makes the reservation. Army and Angel conspire to go to Alcatrash that

Night cause Fabi still isn’t answering Army’s calls.

Cameela runs into Tonio’s lawyer he tells Cameela he is finally free but in a lot of trouble. The lawyer tells her about the lawsuit Rennie is bringing against Tonio. She feels bad and calls Tonio and apologizes and says it is all her fault that Tonio is in all this trouble. She hangs up and tells the lawyer she is going on vacation.

Fabi and Flor talk about Army and how Fabi wants to meet him at the hotel.

Father Sebastian has flown to LA and runs into Cameela at the airport. He tells her about the orphans and why doesn’t she go with him. She says ok.

Meanwhile Lucrazy is in Pedro’s bedroom dressed in slutty attire and thought bubbles what a wonderful time her and Pedro will have tonight.

Army and Angel storm the gates of Alcatrash, well they attempt to, and almost get caught by Valentin. They hide out and don’t get caught and they get onto the grounds. In the meantime,

Fabi is dressed in a very short green dress and goes to the hotel looking for Army. The receptionist tells her he isn’t there. She is bummed and thinks he doesn’t love her anymore. Meanwhile Angel is caught by Tracy and Panchito. Panchito tells him to go home. Tracy and Panchito go inside and Tracy thinks this is Jose for Flor and goes to tell Flor who gets all excited and does her hair, she is almost out the door and Army runs in and she thinks he is Jose. He is telling her to be quiet so he can tell her something. (I think he wants to tell her about the stunt he pulled on her) but she wants a kiss. He runs out and meets up with Angel who are caught by a really mad Tonio. He tells them to get out. Tonio is mad cause he met with the lawyer who told

Him that Cameela went on vacation. He wanted to know where, but the lawyer doesn’t know. Tonio gets in his car and drives off.

Padre told Pedro to meet him at the beach, where there is a beautiful table set with plates and glasses and candles, Pedro is QTH when here comes Padre Sebastian and Cameela. The Padre

Tells Pedro and Cameela he set this up so they could talk and work through their problems. Cameela and Pedro are not happy but the Padre tells them to work it out. Cameela asks if Pedro has his cell phone, he doesn’t and Padre tells Cameela if you don’t want to stay then come on with me. Pedro and Cameela argue and stay there as the Padre gets in the taxi and leaves.

So Pedro and Cameela are stuck and accuse each other of betraying the other with Lucrazy and Tonio while they drink a nice bottle of champagne. Suddenly Pedro asks Cameela if she loves him, she says yes with all my heart and he tells her he loves her too, and the next thing you know they are kissing and doing the deed. They are very happy afterwards.

Tia Maria meets Sarita and Rafa . They tell her about Cameela and Pedro being together and how they set this up with Father Sebastian.

El Viral has another meltdown in the hospital. She wants to know where Army is and why is she all alone, etc. Tia Maria finally comes in the room to calm her down.

Tonio called Lucrazy just before he left Alcatrash to see what was up with Cameela and where is Pedro. Lucrazy says she will find out. She runs into Tia Patty who tells her that Cameela and Pedro are together in LA. Lucrazy is hopping mad. And here comes Tonio and he tells Lucrazy so much for your brilliant plan.

Pigorio is at Madame Brigettes. He sees the notary and tells him he wants a new will like yesterday. Pigorio tells Madame Brigette that Doris is his. The notary goes into one of the rooms and it is Doris with the mask on (sorry don’t know her alter ego’s name) and she tells the guy she do lots for him if he gives her the info she wants. She unmasks and he is astounded to see it is Doris.

Mariana and Dr Bermudez are still talking. He says he is glad he found her and she is like the daughter he never had. I believe he said he never married and was happy at least to have her as daughter. She asks him why she can’t remember anything that Margarito said. Dr. Bermudez tells her maybe she doesn’t want to remember. He leaves and she is thinking and all of sudden she starts remembering her marriage to Pedro and when she was in the hospital and Pedro was talking to her. There is where we end.

Monday on El Talisman:

Pedro and Camella see Mariana on the beach and Mariana sees Pedro.

Labels: Talisman

Tropicana Orange Chick (Carmina) has just asked Dr. Whipped (Edmundo Tovar) to falsify the blood test. For some reason, she doesn’t want her husband (Agosto), the bi-focal led geriatric version of Clark Kent to know that Elisa is really his kid. At first, he refuses because he and not Superman are buds. Tropicana, not liking that response, gathers her gear and tells him goodbye. Dr. Whipped yanks Tropicana back into his arms and begs her not to leave. The door opens and Paloma, Dr. Whipped’s employee enters the room to witness the lovers in an “embrace”. The doctor demands to know what Paloma is doing there. At first Paloma tries to come up with an explanation, but then says she doesn’t have to invent anything because she saw some unusual things happening outside of the doctor’s office. For instance, it isn’t every day that one sees an orange woman with blond hair and rather large breast implants, sitting in a horse drawn carriage outside of a doctor’s office. Based, on that….I probably would have followed her too. Tropicana tells Paloma that she was only there to discuss the results of a test. Paloma doesn’t buy that story and leaves. Once Paloma leaves, Tropicana and Dr. Whipped argue and blame each other for getting caught. Tropicana explains to the doctor that his employee is the best friend of Elisa! Frantic, Tropicana says that she doesn’t want a scandal and doesn’t want to lose anything. The doctor says that he will talk to Paloma, but Tropicana says no. She will talk to Paloma. I think she also tells him that they are definitely over and rushes out of the office. The doctor looks worried.

I don’t know what the next scene is about. Forgive me. I haven’t watched a telenovela weeks and I am very rusty! My cc isn’t working that well and I am helpless without it. I’m guessing the dialog. If I’m wrong….PLEASE CORRECT ME! In the kitchen is a man name Braulio who is wearing a black and white plaid shirt with a lovely snake-skin neckerchief. Tacky. Just tacky. He wants to know where Vincente, his son is. Tona, the female, says that she thinks the boy went to the plaza. Tona is making tea for Alphonsia, who is sick. Braulio leaves to search for the boy.

After learning that Tona is taking the tea to his mother, Damien takes the tea and tells her that he will deliver it to his mother.

Vincente is in the plaza smoking a cigarette with some friends when he is discovered by a friend of the family who is wearing some sort of Mumu. As she begins to yell at him, Vincente’s friends abandon him. Braulio arrives and starts yelling at his son, but the woman lies about why Vincente is there. His father tells him to go back home and help his mother. Vincente turns and gives the woman a big thank you smile. During this scene, it becomes very obvious that Braulio is extremely attracted to the woman in the Mumu. In order to break the sexual tension happening between the two of them, the chick in the Mumu stops her friend Horacio (who happens to be walking by) and pretends that they have plans together. She grabs his arm and he escorts her away.

Damien and his mother are lounging in bed together. He wants to know what’s wrong with her. He’s such a good son. So attentive to his mother. I should show this scene to my son. She tells him that she sad. He’s going to Mexico in the morning. He’s got work to do. Whatever their talking about, it must be very important because extremely intense orchestra music is playing in the background. She wants him to stay another day or two for her. He says he’s got stuff to do in Mexico.

In the next scene, Elisa is hanging up her white dress. You remember! It’s the cute one that she was wearing when her father slapped the taste out of her mouth for daring to be at engagement party. After hanging up her party dress, she picks up a music box and the sound of the music brings on a flashback scene of her as a child with her mother. I think she asks her mother why she’s an only child. Because we only wanted one, says her mother. Oh my gosh! I’ve only been watching this show since Monday and since Monday, this chick has cried every day. Either I missed a lot or she’s premenstrual. She says something is her fault. I really don’t care what it is because I’ve decided she’s a whiner and I don’t like her.

Horacio and the chick wearing the Mumu are finishing their meal in a restaurant. Horacio asks her about her relationship with Braulio. She discounts the relationship because he’s married. The waitress hands Horacio the check, but he doesn’t have enough money. The chick in the Mumu pays the bill. Horacio is quite the catch.

Oh, this might be interesting. Tropicana visits Paloma and threatens her. If she opens her mouth about what she witnessed at Dr. Whipped’s office bad things will happen. She may have told her that it would look bad for Elisa if everyone found out that both her mother and her aunt slept around on her father. It would destroy him. Tropicana even threatens her grandma with a ‘’terrible accident”. Grandma walks in just then. Commercial.

At Dr. Whipped’s home, Agosto and Dr. Whipped discuss the upcoming paternity test. Whipped looks extremely uncomfortable. I don’t know if it’s because he feel’s guilty about sleeping with Agosto’s wife or if it’s because he is going to falsify the paternity test for Tropicana. Agosto also wants to know about the tests that Tropicana took. Whipped discusses Tropicana with the Agosto. Let me just say that this is a clear, ethical and legal violation of her rights. Someone should alert the American Medical Association and have him disbarred or de-doctored! Tropicana, we learn, is suffering from depression, but has recently trying to work on her marriage. Whipped says the results should take about 15 days. I don’t know if he was talking about the DNA test or Tropicana’s tests. Hmmmmm. Begona, Whipped’s wife comes out to tell Agosto goodbye.

Gabino and Horacio meet somewhere. I was wrong. I guess Horacio is a gentleman after all. He tells Gabino a woman had to pay the bill. He needs a job. He wasn’t happy about that. He tells Gabino that he was looking for him earlier, but couldn’t find him.

Damien tells his fiancé, Florencia that he wants to stay some additional days with his mother because she’s not feeling well. His mother asked him to stay and he’s not going to deny the request. In the process of packing, Florencia protests. She tells him that he thinks about everyone else but her. He asks her to stay there with him, and then he tries to seduce her with a kiss (in real life, that only works on men).

Tropicana and Elisa are somewhere outside near a big tree. It’s late, but Tropicana’s boobs are still out, still fake and still big. Tropicana asks Elisa if she has spoken with Agosto. She informs Elisa that her father wants her to accompany him to Whipped’s office in the morning. Elisa tells Tropicana that she is very worried about Tropicana’s health. She said that her health is what the visit is all about. When Tropicana turns to leave, Elisa stops her and asks what she told her father. She is referring to the night that her Agosto, slapped the tastes buds off of her tongue at the engagement party. Remember? It’s the night she was wearing the white dress and Damien molested her in the horse stable. The horse stable with one horse. Anyway, Elisa wanted to know how Tropicana knew where she would be. I think Tropicana told her that Paolo Laducci told her where he’d seen her or something like that. Tropicana tells Elisa to find a husband because she tired of supporting her. They are going to Whipped’s office in the morning. Elisa goes back home and Tropicana looks pleased.

Elisa is walking home when she is stopped by Gabino. He’s insults her father (yeah, that will impress a girl), so she slaps him. Don Lucio, her godfather comes to her aid, and Gabino gives him a good beat down. Lucio is bloodied and unconscious lying in the grass. His wife thinks he’s dead and screeches out his name. Commericial.

Gabino stands patiently by whilst the women try to assist Lucio.

Damien and Florencia tell her father (Guido) that they will stay a little while longer because Damien’s mother isn’t feeling well. Seriously, my son’s name is Erik. Get him a copy of this episode. This is how sons should feel about their mothers. Anyways, Florencia and Damien are practically sitting on top of one another. They hold hands and present themselves as one unit and one mind to her father. She caresses her fiancé’s cheeks and chest. He father wants Florencia to leave with him. Florencia explains that she and Damien want to stay together. She prompts Damien to say something in agreement. “Verdad, mi amor?” Damien clears his throat and struggles to get the word “si” out as if some is strangling him. He lies and says that his mother would love to have Florencia stay with them. That lie required all of the strength and acting ability that he could muster up. He’s just a straight man who wants to hang around him momma and if Elisa happens to be in town and accidentally falls into his bed while he’s taking care of his momma, he was only doing what a good son should do. He didn’t actually say that, but I’m sure that’s what he was thinking. Her dad says that people will talk and he doesn’t want to her reputation ruined. Damien doesn’t look like the type of guy that any girl could want to stay a virgin around for too long. I think her father has missed that boat. She assures him that she will be safe. Guido leaves and Damien thanks her for staying. They will only be there for two more weeks and she makes him promise that they will not be apart.

A terrified Elisa bangs on Whipped’s door. Begona, the doctor’s wife, upset about the banging, opens the door. Without asking Elisa why she's knocking like that, (I think) Begona tells her that this is a decent house and instructs her on how to knock on a door. Basically Elisa tells her that this is no time to lecture her about her family. She demands to speak to Whipped! After hearing the shouting, Whipped appears. Elisa vomits out the entire story! Gabina whupped up on her godfather! She begs him to come with her. Where is he? Blocks away and her godmother is afraid! Hmmmm. She’s run “blocks away!” No one called the ambulance yet? While the Whipped hurries to get his bag, Begona asks if it’s true that Gabino Mendoza beat down a defenseless geezer. Elisa confirms the story. Whipped returns with is bag, but no car keys or saddle (so I assume he doesn’t have a horse) or anything that would assist him in getting to the patient quicker than on his two feet. Neither the doctor, his wife, Elisa or don Lucio’s wife has called an ambulance as far as I can tell. The doctor has chosen to run “blocks away” as well. Certainly, by now, don Lucio is seeing the pearly gates of heaven.

Paloma’s abuela wants to know why Tropicana was in her house. OK, I am just going to throw this out there. If you don’t agree with me, please let me know. Is the actress that plays abuela on the wrong show or did the make-up people make a mistake? Clearly she looks like an extra from the Planet of the Apes. Don’t judge me! Rewind the tape and look closely at her costume. OK, forgive me. Back to the recap. Grandma knows that whatever the reason for Tropicana's visit, it can’t be a good one. Paloma keeps her mouth shut.

Tropicana has obviously taken some etiquette and poise classes, because in the next scene, we see her sitting in a chair like a tramp. Her mother taught her well. OK, she was in the privacy of her own bedroom, but I don’t want to see all of that. She and Agosto discuss the upcoming paternity test. He tells her that he went over to Whipped’s house to stress the importance of the test. He also tells her that he and the doctor discussed the results of her test. Agosto is concerned about Whipped…he seems so insecure and restless. He wants to help his friend in any way that he can. Whipped has done a lot for the family, he says. Tropicana tries to change the subject by tempting him with sex. He rebuffs her and tells her that he has to take a shower first. Gosh, he is so spontaneous. Now I know why his philly has been jumping the fence.

In the next scene, Paolo tells Guido that he wants to stay with Florencia. He doesn’t want to go back with Guido. I may have misunderstood this, but I think back at home, Paolo was accused of messing with or violating an underage girl. He says it’s his word against hers and then there was something about a son. He swears on the memory of their parents that he never messed with the girl. Guido doesn’t understand why his brother wants to stay in that one horse town if the allegations aren’t true. Paolo says various reasons. He may want to get a job or something. Guido smells a rat. He reminds Paolo has been mooching off of him for years. He points out that Paolo doesn’t like to work. He is employed by Guido and gets paid for doing nothing. Paolo agrees and tells him that that’s exactly the reason he wants to change. He’s tired of living off of Guido. He’s gonna try to get a job in the morning. He asks his brother to give him a chance and let him show him that he’s changed. I think Guido tells Paolo that he has to do well because he will be on his own there. Commercial.

At the hospital, Elisa is trying to comfort her Godmother. I supposed that someone finally called the ambulance to pick him up. Elisa blames herself, but Godmother says the blame lies on Gabino. He’s always hated Don Lucio. She promises to make Gabino pay for this. A nurse comes out to get Elisa and shows her into an examination room. Elisa wants to know how Don Lucio is doing. The nurse tells her that the Whipped is on his way. Whipped enters the room and tells her that Don Lucio is getting X-rayed or something. He wants to know her blood type. He tells her that he has to take her blood because Don Lucio may need a transfusion if he has to have surgery. He wants to see if she’s compatible. He tosses her into a chair and he is going to draw the samples himself. He promises not to hurt her. She looks concerned about the size of the needle.

Tropicana is at home in bed. She is worried because she needs the blood of Elisa. She’s been lying for years and wants Agosto to continue to believe that Elisa is not his.

Back at the doctor’s office, Whipped completes the blood draw and writes Elisa’s name on the vial.

Tropicana jumps Agosto, the sex machine, as soon as he enters the bedroom. He wants to stop and lock the door. She assures him that they are completely alone in the house. I don’t agree with adultery, but I’m starting to understand why another farmer plows his with his mule.

Back at the hospital, the doctor tells Elisa and her godmother that the X-rays went well, but Don Lucio is still in a coma. They will have to wait to see what happens. Godmother is having a nervous breakdown in the waiting room. The doctor tells Elisa to try to keep her calm. Godmother tells Elisa to go home and get some rest. Elisa refuses to leave her, but agrees to call home.

Gael tells the priest that he is going to start working for Agosto again. The priest tells him how proud he is of him. Gael goes to bed and reminds the priest to turn out the church lights.

Guido visits Alfonsina (Damien’s mother) bedroom. She has been pretending to be sick and jumps into the bed, fully made up with jewelry and her shoes on. Guido gets hops on the bed with her. This is the strangest custom I have ever seen. Everyone has been in her bed today. He has come to tell her that he is going back to Mexico in the morning. He tells her that his entire family is gonna stay at her house. She’s say’s really…it’s not necessary that everybody and your dog remain at my house. He agrees, but tells her that Paolo wants a job. She says that he will begin work tomorrow.

While the priest is turning out the lights, a woman named Ingrid enters the church and introduces herself as Gaels mother.

Credits!

Sorry. It’s been a while. I am very rusty.
