La Que No Podía Amar #81 Wendesday 4/18/12 He’s BAA-AAACK! The Clenbuterol-contaminated Cowpie Hits the Fan!

by Audrey (posted by Elvira, a few screencaps added by Elvira)


Lo del pasado:

In Ana Paula’s bedroom, AP is confined to the bed. It’s time for Rogelio’s operation, and María, Margarito and Dani keep vigil with Ana Paula, praying for the safety of Rogelio’s operation.

Later, Cinthia makes a visit to AP’s bedside. They worry over Rogelio’s operation. Cinthia wants to know if AP really loves Rogelio. If so, she is willing to help Rogelio accept AP with her baby in exchange for AP helping her marry Gustavo. Cinthia tells her she doesn’t need to give her answer right away, but think about it. AP looks like she’s about to hurl.

Lo de nuevo:

Gustavo comes into the room, interrupting the tense moment. Cinthia makes a show of look how she is starting to “get along” much better with her cuñada. AP looks even more horrified. Gus asks Cinthia for news about Rogelio. Cinthia is going to call Ernesto again. AP begs to be advised of any news.

After Cinthia leaves, Gus is very pleased to tell Ana Paula that her brother Miguel now has a carpenter job with a friend of Mercedes — he introduced them. This makes AP feel much better. He’s really excited because he’s brought Ana Paula a gift - a book about the stages of pregnancy that they can read together. Ana Paula gifts him with a pleased smile.

María is polishing a silver bowl in the main salon and then drops the bowl in the fright of her life: “Rogelio!” Rogelio is sitting there in his wheelchair. He has a cold, hard look on his face. He left trusting that María would let him know of anything that happens at the hacienda. Why didn’t she tell him that AP was ill? María protests that they didn’t want to worry him since his operation was so delicate and important. Rogelio reminds her that AP is the most important thing to him!

Back in AP’s bedroom, Gus is still gushing all over Ana Paula in his excitement about her having his baby. Gus goes on and on - he’s so in love and excited. AP smiles at him indulgently.

Meanwhile, in the salon, María tries to stop Rogelio from rolling off to see the Mrs, she wants to “explain things”. Rogelio is having none of that. Margarito comes in wearing blue plaid pajamas. He is delighted to see “el patron” and runs to him to give him a hug. Rogelio is delighted to see Margarito up walking. “But what about you?” wonders Margarito. Rogelio tells him his operation will wait, he’s ready to see his wife now. Margarito now tries to stop Rogelio. “Let me pass, chamaco! You look good in blue hahahah.” and Rogelio rolls out of the room.

Ana Paula and Gus are enjoying the book together. She shows him a picture of what the baby should look like right now. Cinthia comes back in, she wasn’t able to reach Ernesto. Ana Paula is very anxious that they get news about Rogelio’s operation immediately. They go off to find Mercedes new number, leaving the doors open. Ana Paula hugs the pregnancy book and prays that Rogelio is OK.

María and Margarito are still in the salon, freaking out together. Margarito wonders if el patron already knows that Ana Paula is going to have Gus’s baby? “No - he just knows that she’s ill!” Margarito wants to warn Gus, but no, Maria doesn’t want Gus talking to Rogelio. María is in total helpless freak-out because there really is little opportunity for damage control at this point!

Chio and Mercedes at the Hernández (that’s Ulises & Macaria) Eatery talking about Mercedes' plans: the lovely house she and Ernesto are setting up in San Gabriel, blah, blah, blah. Chio offers to help decorate now that they are friends again. Mercedes gets a phone call from Ernesto - Rogelio has gone AWOL!

AP is sitting quietly in bed reading her book. Rogelio rolls up to the door smiling. He pauses, waiting for AP to sense his presence. She does. “What are you doing here? What about your operation?”. He rolls up to the bedside. “I found out you were ill and couldn’t even leave the bed. I’m here to be with you.” he answers, kissing her hand. AP starts to get upset. Rogelio asks AP: “What’s wrong? What (kind of illness) do you have?” Ominous music!!!

Back at the eatery, Mercedes has quickly surmised that Rogelio found out something about AP’s illness or pregnancy and leaves the building in a panic. She explains to the pursuing Chio that Rogelio didn’t have the operation. When Ernesto arrived at the clinic, he was told that Rogelio had suddenly left to attend to an emergency. She had got to warn her baby brother ASAP!

Rogelio is still at Ana Paula’s bedside, trying to get her to answer what is wrong. “Did you have another nervous breakdown? I was so worried. And why wasn’t I informed?” Maria appears - trying figure out some way to prevent the inevitable disaster. “We didn’t want to worry you before your operation.” explains AP. “That’s right,” says Maria, “and before Ana Paula was in bed, she was taking care of hacienda matters.” Rogelio is gratified. Ana Paula explains she did it because she’s come to love his lands. “And me?” asks Rogelio, “have you learned to love me?” Ana Paula looks up at María helplessly. Rogelio insists that María leave them alone. Rogelio gazes lovingly at his wife, who is now looking away uncomfortably.

Cinthia is in the salon ranting to Gustavo. Cinthia is worried about Rogelio and she can’t believe he didn’t at least take Hugo with them so that they could maintain contact. Now that she’s “in charge” and there are so many problems at the hacienda, she need to be in contact with her brother! Cinthia is freaking out about all the things going wrong at the hacienda and how she will be blamed. Vanessa has chosen other cattle suppliers for her packing house, and Vanessa’s family’s company has always bought their cattle from the Monteros ever since Cinthia was an child! And now they lose their most important client on her watch! Gustavo thinks she should be able to work things out with Vanessa, but Cinthia tells him that Vanessa doesn’t want to help her out, and when Rogelio finds out, he’s going to be furious with her! Gustavo comforts her.

“You love these lands?” Rogelio is asking Ana Paula at her bedside, “and me? You gave me a hope!” Rogelio pauses and smiles at her. “My love, listen. Could it be there is something deeper between us than a contract?” AP can only look miserably silent and starts crying. “I can’t Rogelio” says AP. Rogelio doesn’t get it. “You have to understand,” says Paula between her tears, “that when I escaped from here, I was with my then boyfriend, and I’m pregnant!” Cara de impactado from Rogelio. “You’re what?” “I’m expecting a baby.” answers Paula. “A baby? From your boyfriend?!!!”

Miguel and Dany are walking up into the haciendas veranda, waxing poetic about all the possible futures of his new furniture business. Tia Rosaura comes along, poo-pooing things, not wanting to lend much of “her” money as it needs to be saved carefully in case they are kicked out of the hacienda. Miguel reminds her that that money belongs to Ana Paula, and anyway, he’s determined not to live off Rogelio anymore. He now has a business opportunity with a friend of Gustavo. Now Tía is all impressed that he really is changing. “Yeah, no thanks to YOU!” says Miguel ironically.

María comes out running in a panic. She doesn’t know what’s going to happen or what to do! Rogelio is already here, and he’s with AP now! Caras de impactado! María doesn’t know who told Rogelio that Ana Paula was sick - which is why he returned. Tía says “Oh no! We have to hide her pregnancy from Rogelio!” Miguel points out what a futile effort that will be (we can’t cover the sun with a finger), he’ll find out eventually. “Well, we’ve got to go and interrupt them before Ana Paula tells him anything! He’ll go crazy!” panics María, and the four hapless messcateers rush off towards Ana Paula’s bedroom to prevent a tragedy. Margarito, who has been miserably hiding behind the furniture through this whole conversation, covers his head with his arms in despair, feeling very guilty about the horrible situation that he unintentionally provoked.

Back in Ana Paula’s bedroom, the ominous music is coming to a crescendo: “Of course! Of course you’re going to have a nervous breakdown if you are married to one man and pregnant by another!” Rogelio realizes bitterly. Ana Paula reminds Rogelio how things really were back then. That she was only with him because of the contract, and that when she ran away, she thought he had ordered her boyfriend killed. “Well, I’m glad you realized I didn’t send someone to kill him, but I never imagined you would go sleep with him! Why?” begs Rogelio in anguish.

Rogelio reacting to Ana Paula's news.

“You have to understand that my circumstances with you were different back then.” begs Ana Paula, “That what I felt for you then is different than I feel now.” “And what do you feel now?” asks Rogelio sneering at her. “Pity? affection? or love?” “I’m very confused” AP tells him. “So I imagine.” Rogelio answers skeptically. “I came to care for you, I swear it!” cries AP. “And when did you realize that you cared for me,” asks Rogelio, “when you discovered you were pregnant?” “No, Rogelio, don’t think that about me!” implores Ana Paula

Ana Paula is in tears over Rogelio's reaction. . .

. . . and Rogelio has tears of his own.

Rogelio doesn’t believe her. He concludes that she now says she cares for him because her boyfriend didn’t accept responsibility for the “chamaco”. And now she needs him to take care of not only her brother, her aunt but this new baby too. Ana Paula is devastated that he sees things this way - “it’s not true! If you think that you don’t know me at all!” Rogelio is furious and yells at her for not even have complied with the darned contract! AP tearfully admits she hasn’t and that she did indeed marry him to help her brother. Rogelio says he doesn’t really give a damn about that contract. But it hurts him so much that she has been making a fool of him all this time. How she must have laughed every time he made a romantic effort. And in the meantime she was enjoying nights of passion with that imbecil! He thought the accident that caused his paralysis was bad, but now he met her, came to love her, and this is worse, because she is killing him! AP can only weep and repeat “Don’t tell me that.” over and over. “Why did you make we want to change, Paula? Why did you make me believe I could fall in love and be happy again?” asks Rogelio. “Forgive me! I didn’t want to hurt you. I do care for you Rogelio Ana Paula cries. I only wanted.....” Rogelio interrupts bitterly: “You have caused me the worst unhappiness of my life, Paula!” So that’s why everyone around him has been so secretive, and he like an imbecile not knowing a thing! Ana Paula tries to grab his hands as she keeps apologizing, pleading with him not to think this way. “Don’t touch me!” says Rogelio in disgust as he looks at Ana Paula collapsed on the bed crying. He then wheels himself out of the room as she calls after him weeping inconsolably “Rogelio!”. What an intense scene! ¡Qué grueso!

She leans into him, begging him to understand . . .

Efrain is slinking into the Hernandez business again! Consuelo gives him a pretty smile, but he doesn't notice and goes right over to the counter to check up on Macaria. She’s feeling much better now that she knows Miguel wasn’t responsible for Maripaz’s death. Efraín starts hitting on Macaria big time, trying to get Macaria to leave with him for a bit of fun. Consuelo looks through the bar window and notices Efraín in full flirt mode. She turns away in annoyance. The chat-up succeeds, and Macaria asks Consuelo to mind the business while she steps out for a short bit. After she agrees, Consuelo notices that Macaria is following Efraín out.

Miguel is marching down the hacienda hall going to protect AP while Tía tries to stop him - “We can’t all bust in there together! It’ll look suspicious!” Miguel and Dani should go first, and just ask casually about the trip. She shows them how it’s done: “We must stop and listen at the door first. Rogelio might be with her! We first need hear what they are talking about!” Miguel ignores her and bursts through the door first anyway. Ana is in the bed weeping loudly. “Did you tell Rogelio?” asks Tía in a panic. “Yes, he now knows I’m pregnant.” admits AP. “No, no, no! You didn’t tell him you were pregnant!” screams Tía, followed by much wailing and tearing of hair and gnashing of teeth, as Miguel comforts the devastated Ana Paula.

It’s dusk at the town plaza, and Macaria and Efraín are snuggling up and kissing - did they just finish a tryst? Efraín tries to send Macaria along now to “be a good little wife” to Ulises who has been feeling neglected. Macaria looks pretty guilty - she’s can’t be loving with her husband at the same time she’s cheating on him! LOL! Effer doesn’t see the problem - Ulises is her husband after all. Effer tells her that Ulises thinks her lack of affection is due to her grief over Maripaz, but if only he knew...! Still, Macaria willingly accepts more kisses before leaving. Consuelo comes along in the distance and sees them together kissing. Busted!!!! A crying Consuelo leaves without them noticing her.

Back in APs bedroom: “But how did he take it? What did he tell you?!!!!” yells Tía in a full Mentirosa screaming fit as she rushes the bed. She’s jumped on by María and Dani who remind her (yet again!!!) that Ana Paula needs her peace. Miguel continues comforting Ana Paula who is sobbing uncontrollably, and then she rolls over in bed and faints! Dani checks her pulse - she’s not good. Dani yells at María that AP urgently needs a doctor. Miguel and María leave to see if they can locate Dr. Ernesto. Despite Dani’s protests, Tía just won’t stop pestering and shaking Ana Paula to get her to wake up as Dani starts taking vital signs.

Nasty Bruno, walking down the street, receives a call from Rutilio who wants money and help hiding. Bruno tells him that he blew it - the San Gabriel police chief now knows that Rutilio was in jail for rape and murder. Bruno tells him he said he wouldn’t help him if Rutilio didn’t control himself, so now he’s on his own to hide himself as he can. Rutilio reminds a frustrated Bruno that Bruno has to help him, ‘cause if Rutilio goes down, he’ll takes Bruno down with him.

Gustavo is in the kitchen calmly drinking coffee. María comes in asking for Ernesto or Mercedes, AP is in bad shape and she needs the doctor ASAP. Gus dial’s Ernesto’s number for María and tries to run off to see Ana Paula. “No! You can’t go see her! Rogelio is back!!!!!” yells María as she grabs him. “And if he sees you with her, there’s going to be a tragedy!”

Tía comes across Bruno in the hacienda and calls him over. She’s all freaked out because things are starting to turn the color of ants! That is, things are becoming very ugly - Rogelio is back and already knows that AP is carrying someone else’s child! Bruno is simply delighted to hear it! He can only imagine the fury that Rogelio must be feeling. “Well, AP is doing poorly.” “How poorly?” smiles Bruno hopefully. “Well, I don’t know if she is going to lose the baby - only the doctor can say.” Rosaura tells him. “Even if she loses the “escuincle” (brat), the damage is already done,” says Bruno smugly. “You don’t think there is any way to fix this?” asks Tía worriedly. Bruno is convinced that even if she loses the baby, Rogelio, just knowing that AP was in the arms of another, will come to hate her and banish her from his life. This is not at all what Tía wanted to hear!!!

Gus and María argue in the kitchen - he needs to be with AP. “Don’t be so stubborn (necio)!” scolds María, “Rogelio already knows she’s pregnant. Dani is taking care of her, but she needs a doctor. You need to locate Ernesto NOW!”

Consuelo runs back to the eatery, where Ulises is putting up the chairs, visibly upset. Ulises insists on knowing why she is so upset, so Consuelo finally makes up the story that when she went outside just now, she saw someone who reminded her of that nasty old man Rutilio. Ulises reminds her not to go outside at night by herself, but don’t worry he’ll always be looking out for her.

Dani is in AP’s bedroom tending to her as she sleeps fitfully, telling her to be calm. AP must be feverish. She calls “Rogelio, Rogelio” as she tosses and turns.

Mercedes comes into the hacienda with Ernesto - “What a relief that you came to the town first!” Ernesto can’t believe Rogelio returned to the Hacienda. Gus comes rushing in to tell Ernesto that AP is doing very poorly after she argued with Rogelio.

A lonely, sad man in black sits alone in his study, glaring at everything, remembering back to his romantic dinner with Ana Paula when she accepted the “real” ring from him signifying his love, and the time in his bedroom when she gave him a glimmer of hope that she might fall in love with him. The memories are very painful for him at the moment. María interrupts with something to tell him, but Rogelio kicks her out. He then takes their wedding photo out of his portfolio and tears it up. Ouch!

Ernesto comes in to examine AP who has been thrashing in her sleep. Dani tries to shoo Gus from the room as his presence can cause all sorts of problems. Gus begs not to be separated from the woman he loves and his baby. He insists that in fact he will stay the night to watch over AP.

Cinthia is in the kitchen to get the scoop from María about what Rogelio knows so far. María informs her that he only knows about the pregnancy. “No reason for him to know that Gustavo is the father then,” concludes Cinthia. “ Why do you say that?” asks María. “Because if she gets ill again and she loses the infant, what’s the point?” This attitude really ticks María off: “That’s what you would like, right?” Cinthia feels perfectly justified in her point of view. “That spawn is the impediment for all the good things that could happen to me!” rages Cinthia. “Don’t call it that!” yells María. “ Why not? Because of that 'escuincle' Gustavo doesn’t want to marry me anymore.” responds Cinthia. “I can understand that you care deeply for Gustavo, but not because of that should you wish that infant to die!” implores María “Well yes, yes!” yells Cinthia. “That is my greatest wish, and I hope it’s fulfilled!” as she flounces out of the kitchen. Poor María is horrified. She looks like she is experiencing her worst nightmare.

Consuelo is looking sad wiping down the bar when Macaria returns. Macaria apologizes for being late as she ran into an old girlfriend. Consuelos says “Right, a girlfriend whose name starts with ‘E’ and ends with ‘N’.” “Why do you say that?” asks Macaria. “Don’t lie, I saw you. You and Efraín kissing!” Consuelo tells her. Consuelo reads Macaria the riot act for “rolling around” with another man just after her daughter died, and the man Consuelo is in love with no less!!! Consuelo is so hurt. Macaria is a deer caught in the headlights.

Oh - here we go! Rogelio is in his study looking like he might be borracho. He’s holding some some jewelry and crying “Why, Paula, Why?” as he smashes the shell jewelry with a liquor bottle. Was this the necklace AP used to wear from Gustavo?

The peones are talking in the kitchen with María glad that el patron has returned. But María tells Hugo that Rogelio is NOT to be disturbed this evening. The peones wonder if something went bad with the operation.

It’s early the next morning, first light and the cocks are crowing. Lots of happenings at the Hacienda del Fuerte and surroundings.

Wow, Guscake DID spend the whole night in AP’s room watching over her from a chair next to the bed. AP is still out of it. “Ana, you’ve got to get well, and I’m not going to let anyone hurt you or our baby.” Gus tells her. Miguel comes in to see how she’s doing. Her fever has gone. Miguel convinces Gus to go take a break, shower, unwind and he’ll watch over AP.

Cocks are still crowing. Macaria is sitting up in bed, while Ulises sleeps beside her, remembering Consuelo’s angry lecture. Can we say remorse?

María is praying in the kitchen - while standing and holding her cup of tea no less, LOL! - asking God please not to allow another tragedy to occur in this place, to give serenity to my child Rogelio. Margarito bursts in, causing Maria to send her tea cup flying. Margarito’s crying upset because it’s his fault that all this is happening. Margarito confesses that he was the one that unthinkingly told el patron that Ana Paula was ill when he answered the phone yesterday morning. He wonders whether Ana Paula will forgive him. Maybe he won’t be adopted now. He needs lots of comforting.

There is loud banging on the study door. Rogelio is still in there. Gus comes in, ready to talk about Ana. But, obviously, Rogelio is three sheets to the wind. Rogelio seems confused about who this “Ana” person is that Gus wants to talk about and doesn’t link the name to “Paula”.

Efraín enters Cinthia’s bedroom in his usual manner, and kisses his sleeping beauty awake. But she’s grumpy as she just got to sleep and she kicks him back out. And how strange that everything’s quiet at the hacienda, she wonders, what could have been happening?

What’s happening, is that Rogelio is still drowning his sorrows, trago by trago (swallow by swallow) while Gustavo looks on, rather amazed. “And why do you want to talk about Paula - excuse me! ‘Ana Paula’? ” Rogelio slurs sarcastically. He wants Gus to join him in the tragos. “You’re too far gone says.” Gus disgustedly. “No, not far enough!” answers Rogelio, laughing sarcastically. “Are you now going to tell me why you came to see me in Mexico?” asks Rogelio. “What’s going on with Paula?” he asks, “What new pain is she going to cause me now?” Gustavo is not going to have the conversation he so desires with Rogelio so drunk. Rogelio doesn’t want Gus (he calls him goose) to leave. “They say drunks and children always say truthful things. You know what’s the worst thing? The woman that I love, because you know I would give my life for her, is expecting another man’s child!” says Rogelio as Gus looks down with angry frustration into Rogelio’s tear-stained drowsy face. Fin.

Gus comes to talk to Rogelio, while Rogelio has been imbibing in various alcoholic beverages.

Gus listens in frustration as an intoxicated, devastated Rogelio explains the cause of his distress. . .

. . . and drunken, weary Rogelio looks up at Gustavo, unaware of the reason why Gus wants to talk to him in the first place.

Avances:
Cinthia warns Mercedes that it’s all over for AP and her ‘escuincle’ now, while Bruno schemes with Rogelio to name Ana Paula’s child as his heir.

Abismo de pasión #28 4/18/12: truth serum bombs away!! a whole bunch of truths that feel like a bomb blew out the brains of the receiver



 Recap by Marta Ivett



Fina refuses to deal with anyone with Bouvier last name, even if the lands are no longer actually Estefania’s… truth serum bomb 1: Elisa confronts her that it shows she was just faking it when she came to her house to ‘try to make ammends’… Fina calls her dumb and says if she made the sacrifice to invite her to the party it was to show her that her son was engaged to someone much more worthy and he has nothing in common with you anymore… Elisa has more emmu… “ I feel pity for you.. you have your soul full of resentment and all you can give anyone around you is bitterness” .. With this Fina runs out of emmu and tells her to leave… Elisa repeats to her that she will make those lands productive with their help or without, even if only to prove to Fina that she does not need anyone least of all her. Once Elisa is out of the room, Fina is so full of anger she can’t even manage to get out of her chair, as if she had sat on a chair that had superglue on the seat. She knocks the photo of Rosendo to the floor since all she can move is her arms…
 
On her way out Elisa runs into the one person she would rather not have run into.. (well, besides Paolo)… Flo asks what she came for. Elisa says ‘your step mom’.. Flo asks Elisa about her necklace… Have had it for many years… Damian gave it to you? … yes… so curious, he gave me one that is identical. He told me it gives good luck. … Elisa says yeah that’s what they say… (not wanting to prolongue this ‘fake-a-fest’ she just leaves…
 
At Lucio/Blanca’s Blanca is heading to work… she is willing to stay but Lucio is in his depressed-pitiful-me mood… truth serum bomb  2: I am a no good oldie! I could not even return Gabino’s blow!... if course I am useless! That is why I was denied work! And won’t accept Damian’s offer, he would only be dissappointed to realize I am finished!... Lucio ends up yelling at Blanca to leave… she leaves upset (come on Lucio, don’t take it on her!)
 
Out on street Florencia walks to Damian. He approaches her inviting her to take her riding again, he just gets the necklace/amuleto thrown at his face… truth serum bomb  3: ‘I don’t want to wear the same thing you gave you dear Elisa!’… ‘ what is up with you now, Flo?’  … ‘I don’t want you to compare me to your little friend!.. how do you dare give me the same thing you gave her once?’…  ‘ lets see! For starters, I did not give it to you, you asked me to give it to you… I was even throwing it to the trash and you would not let me because in your own words, you ‘loved’ it?’…  ‘well I take my word back! Here it is so you can toss it, burn it or do as you please with it! (oh don’t Flo! He will wear it forever!)  … ‘don’t be childish! .. (boy, you got that nail right on the head, Dam!) it is not that big a deal! You don’t need to get like this’… ‘I will behave as I please! I am fed up that all our arguments are about Elisa Castanon, and I won’t stay in this town 15 more days!’… (she is running away, he calls out for her, to no avail)
 
At the fashion house, Blanca is nervous arriving late, can’t even get to open the door with the keys, her hands are shaking… Elisa says no problem, Blanca tells her about Lucio being in a depressed mood..and even shouted her out of the house… Elisa is in disbelief… Blanca says it is Gabino Mendoza’s fault!!...  and even after having cost Lucio his job so long ago, he won’t stop harrassing him!... Elisa says God will help my godfather… God will help us all! (and she gives Blanca lots of kisses)…
 
At Arango hacienda, Flo is de-briefing UncleHunk about what happened at the restaurant with Dam hitting Kike for what he said about Elisa… UncleHunk says pay Dam back with the same currency (darle sus ‘picones’ LOL, an eye for an eye)… flirt with someone in front of Dam… ‘and who could I do that in this ugly town?’… ‘that is your business, you will know’…gotta go, I have my own business to handle…
 
Dam arrives at Cielo Abierto to see Gael (my God that is one beautiful white horse)..
[these men and women work in the fields all day and wear white shirts and dresses?
These clothes could be used in a commercial for Clorox Bleach… they GLOW!! ]
 Gael happily receives him and has a worker take care of the horse (or should I say cuaco … now I know when Gael talked to Padre Lupe in the early eps that when Dam came to see him he felt less because Dam had a great car and he moved around ‘a cuaco’ = on horseback…)
Gael thinks Dam came to say goodbye… but Dam says he will stay a few more days, Dam asks Gael how is the business… Gael debriefs him on the status of AssGusto and his business… everything came on a downspiral since Dona Estefania died… Don AssGusto did not feel like fighting for it… your mom never wanted to buy AssGusto’s crops again, the greenhouse burned down… and he did not want to replant it again…  Dam is in disbelief remembering AssGusto as one of the most motivated workers in the region… Gael agrees, but says only a miracle could save these lands…
Dam asks Gael then why do you stay and not just look for work elsewhere?
Gael can’t let Don AssGusto down.. he gave him the job since Gael was a kid… truth serum bomb 4: and also… because of ‘my chamaca’ Elisa… she asked him and he can’t deny her anything…
Dam’s face changes to realization that Gael is interested in Elisa as more than friends.
Dam: you care a lot about Elisa, don’t you?
Gael: I love her with all my heart.
Dam: a little while ago I asked you the same and you would not answer me. (Dam is teary eyed, almost has trouble swallowing) Why, Gael?
Gael: Well, because I did not trust you… but I did feel jealous of you!
Dam: of me?
Gael: Yes.. then later I realized that was silly because you are in love with a woman you will be marrying very soon!... and in any case, whatever happens, after so much time, we are still the same close friends as ever…
Dam: yes… of course.
 
At Tovar house… Kike is in bed with his mom giving him a massage… he says he is not planning to work at the procesadora again. They don’t treat him right and now with Damian hitting him… Mommie says AW HECK NO!! you will NOT quit,  not after all I had to do to get that job for him.. besides that will give his father more reason to call him useless…  they say Damian was a brute for tossing him against a table at the restaurant. When Kike tells her Damian hit him because he made an ugly comment about Elisa, she comments that it shows Damian does not know Elisa.. Kike says for Damian Elisa might as well be a white pigeon(blanca palomita).  GossipGirl can’t believe Damian can do that kind of show in public in front of his fiancee. Kike guesses right Damian does not care about Flo enough. GG says he must love her if he is marrying her.. Kike laughs almost in her face reminding her the world is full of marriages between people who hate each other (this seems to have hit a sensitive nerve in her, she pulls away and changes to serious)
 
At La Anita, seems it is Maru’s turn to be the target of Gabino’s tantrums… he nags her inefficiency and her ‘arthritic’ hands, she won’t take much crap from him, she is no machine, she can only work as fast as her hands will let her… he threatens he will toss her to the street just like he did Lucio… Fina shows up and he of course changes demeanor and fakes like all is well and there is no problem...  
 
Fina summons him to the main office and asks him about the greenhouse he burned years ago from AssGusto, asks him what chance does that greenhouse have of getting productive again… He jokingly doubts it to be that easy, they would need lots of money, maybe ‘one of those things they call a credit line’… truth serum bomb 5: Fina tells him what she intends is that the Cast-Bouv should have not a chance in heck to progress… she wants him to watch every movement of Elisa… she does not want that greenhouse up and running again and she does not like surprises… he says not to worry, he will take care of it… Her face in the end seems to say ‘you better, cause I am the boss’
 
At fashionhouse Blanca is nervous knowing Lucio is alone depressed at the house. Elisa says don’t worry and go home to take care of him, I will take care of the business…  then she will stop by to say hi to him. Since she could not see him yesterday.. truth serum bomb 6: Blanca says of course, you just ran since Dam told Lucio that he was afraid to fall in love with you (Elisa is very nervous) … you should feel flattered rather than terrified… that means Damian might return the love you feel for him…  Elisa does not want to allow herself to believe they have a chance… Fina and AssGusto would move land and sea to prevent it. Besides, Dam is engaged… imagine what BotoxQueen would say, ‘he is stealing the man from Flo when he belongs to her’… Blanca agrees… Elisa says the only way to take him out of her head/heart is to find another guy… Gael .. Gael is Paloma’s… Blanca says don’t worry, with time you will see things are not as bad as you think… I will go now and take care of something that has me worried on my way home…
 
Paolo calls Castanon manor and Orangina, looking orang-ier than ever… takes the call.. truth serum bomb 7: she is more than happy to tell him Elisa is at the fashion house… once she hangs up Lolita comes to her, tells her you have been behaving very strange trying to serve Paolo on a silver platter to Elisa… you might spend a fortune in advertising, but I ain’t buying… I know you are up to something stinky. Orangina says ask me if I care about your opinion. Lolita says watch your steps, because Elisa is not alone in this house, she has me. Orangina laughs… ‘you are nobody’… ‘que linda!’… (Assgusto comes in to break the stare-off) Lolita walks away, he tells Orangina he went to a Merida bank to try to get a loan to pay his debts… seems they denied it… Orangina bursts on him, she is out of patience… he says he wants to stay optimistic.. is that so bad? … she says ‘we keep on sinking deeper and deeper and I am fed up. Sell it all and lets go away!’  truth serum bomb 8: AssGusto says ‘Carmina, believe it or not I want us to be a normal family. I want our relationship as a married couple get better, and I also want to have a good relationship with Elisa. If the lab results say that Elisa is my daughter, my whole life won’t be enough time to make it up to her…’ Orangina tries to fake concern that if he finds out Elisa is indeed Rosendo’s daughter, he won’t despise Elisa even more’… That seems to be a very touchy subject for AssGusto who immediately changes to demand that Orangina (how about not eating any more carrots, that might normalize your skin color and make you feel better)  get answers from Inmundo about her own tests that they are waiting for. AssGusto volunteers to talk to Inmundo to get the results, of course Orangina says she will take care of it herself.
 
Flo arrives at Tovar house… GG is happy to welcome her… says Kike could not even get up to go to work. Flo excuses herself and is ready to leave, but GG won’t let her, actually she walks her right to Kike’s bedroom (thank Goodness he was dressed enough) … GG immediately leaves them alone… Flo came to appologize to him, he says the one that should appologize is Dam… Flo comments that Dam does not give her her place… Kike says I wholeheartedly agree with you.. Flo says she thinks she was wrong about Dam, she thought he loved her, but seems she was wrong. She needs a man to support her, take care of her… Kike says Dam is dumb, if he does not realize what he has right in front of him… they kiss…
 
Blanca goes to La Anita, she has to talk to Gabino.. .Maru seems unable to make her calm down.. Blanca is angry enough to show every wrinkle on her face…  Blanca won’t leave until she talks to Gabino…  Blanca tells Maru about Lucio’s hospital stay and current deppressed state. Maru gets alarmed… Blanca sends Maru to find Gabino. A bit later Blanca is in Gabino’s office waiting when she hears Gabino and Carmina are approaching so she goes out another door… but stays behind the door… and listens… she hears when Orangina asks Gabino to intercept the lab results that are coming for Dr Tovar… paternity test of AssGusto and Elisa… (Orangina needs Assgusto to continue believing Elisa is Rosendo’s.)
truth serum bomb  9: Gabino tells Orangina ‘what are you talking about? You and I know perfectly that Elisa is daughter of AssGusto, and that your dead sister never betrayed her husband with my boss… it was YOU who were sleeping with Don Rosendo, you were the one that was going to run away with him!! (Blanca has just got an ear full! ‘My God!’ Come on Blanca! Run to someone who can help you can help you think clearly about what to do with the info… wait, that might mean you have to go out of town a bit to find someone who’s not either nutso, unstable or just plain sane enough to do the right thing instead of using it as gossip fuel)
 
(In commercial break we see some flash clips… including a fire, Elisa and Dam are out on street watching scared… one clip that called my attention is Gabino approaching Irene from behind… could these two know each other from earlier?)
 
Tovar sister Sabrina walks in on Kike and Flo. Flo is quick to react and slaps him silly acting offended yelling Damian did good in treating him like he did… and runs out.
Sister yells at Kike… what have you done?...
 
At procesadora Gabino tells Orangina he won’t do anything without getting anything in exchange from her.. truth serum bomb 10; she needs his silence and his help to continue her schemes… he forces himself on her, they kiss passionately  (more like he smudges her wildly)..
Blanca runs out very scared/upset… Maru says can’t find Gabino, since he feels the owner, … Blanca makes/begs Maru promise she won’t tell Gabino or anyone she was there…
 
Orangina shows her strength pushing Gabino off her. Gabino tells Orangina he had high expectations of their kiss… and she did not let him down. truth serum bomb 11: She says she only felt sick… she tells him get your man watching the town entrance, those paternity tests cannot reach Dr Tovar or AssGusto.
 
At plaza Blanca is crying telling herself that she knew Estefania was innocent…
 
Damian is by the lake, Ramona walks to him… she tells him he looks like he is part of the view… he says he is about to leave, she says that’s what she heard, she has also heard around that he is about to get married… everyone in town knows what is going on with Arango family… do you really want to leave the place you were born at? … truth serum bomb 12: he says nope, he loves La Ermita, the more he sees it, he loves it more but he is committed to elsewhere… Ramona says there is no commitment worthy of doing if you are not convinced you want to do it… don’t have to be a fortuneteller to figure out some things… don’t fight your destiny (Ramona sounds like Yoda from Star Wars ‘Luke! Its your destiny!’) boy… your life is already written… it will be no use to try to run away… (and in a rare tender moment Ramona and Dam put their arms around each other in a sweet comforting embrace…)
 
Kike and Sabrina are still arguing, he realizes Flo used him, Sabrina says surely he will be fired from the procesadora with this stunt… GG walks in.. surprised Flo already left… she was bringing coffee and cookies. (tea party, anyone? This woman needs some help)
 
Orangina goes to Inmundo’s office… she insists he change the paternity test results… she mocks his proffessional ethics… he is a sickly human being.. betraying his wife and thinks of abandoning his family… but God forbid he stained his little white robe…
He says he realizes she just used him, to watch and control her husband… truth serum bomb 13: she confirms it in a sarcastic tone… never cared for you… had sex with you just for a physical need… Doc says after all Paloma was right. If Assgusto comes by again asking for Orangina’s test results, he will tell the truth… Orangina says don’t dare me, I can hurt you too, and even if you complain about it now, you have to admit that with me you lived a high you would never have had with your wife.
 
Blanca has spent a couple hours at church. Padre Lupe asks her if she is ok… she had to think… Padre asks for Lucio, is he better? … yes, but from this point forward ALL of us will be better…
 
Blanca goes to Huarango hacienda… Tonia nervously tells Fina someone’s come to see her. Fina comes out to find out who.. its Blanca. Fina asks what she is there for…
‘to play Bingo, what else? … no… you wish… I am here to to talk to you.
Fina guesses wrong that Blanca is there to rat about Gabino hitting Lucio…
Nope, you have no clue why I came to talk to you, I am here to talk about Estefania… Fina won’t hear it… Blanca won’t stay quiet… truth serum bomb 14: what if I told you all these years you have been so wrong to hate her so strongly? Fina accuses her of always defending Estefania, despite all the harm she caused!. Fina wants Blanca to leave. Blanca says don’t worry, I will leave now. I want you to come to my place tomorrow. Don’t worry, both you and AssGusto will be very surprised when you come to my house to hear what I have to say.’
 
At procesadora, Gabino is in a worse mood than ever, and rattles at Maru that she is not done with the report.. Maru says no problem it is next month’s report so I will finish it tomorrow. Gabino finds this as the perfect excuse to mangle her and fire her on the spot.
 
Flo and Paolo, she is worried she went overboard with Kike… he kissed her, and she liked it!... she is afraid Sabrina will spill the frijoles to Damian… Paolo says just tell Dam your version… Flo wants to forget the jealousy plan and just ask Dam to leave for Mex.
 
Fina looks at a photo of Rosendo and asks herself if its possible she could have been wrong all these years…
 
Maru comes to Hacienda Huarango to tell Fina that Gabino fired her. Fina begins taking Gabino’s side… she says Maru will receive her due severance pay… Maru is not there to ask for severance pay or get the job back… truth serum bomb 15: she just wanted to tell Fina what happened… Fina keeps backing up Gabino… Maru warns Fina that Gabino is after her, and if he does not get her, he will try to steal everything she has… in walks Damian and finds out Gabino fired Maru… he gets outraged… Maru says she only came to tell Fina about what happened… Maru leaves. Dam argues with Fina not to let Gabino fire Maru after all the years he spent at the procesadora… Fina is not willing to argue about that.
 
Outside at the fountain, Flo meets with a fairly down spirits Dam… she says she has been looking for him, haven’t seen him since early… he says that’s better, so we can avoid silly arguments… she is in appologetic mode…if she puts up jealousy rages is because she loves him…  he tells her no problem but just stop acting so childish… she asks him to tell her he loves her… he does… but not very excitedly… and then she asks for them to leave soon… he insists she can leave but he will stay… she says what difference does it make for him to leave a few days earlier or later… he says you don’t get it… truth serum bomb 16: I am staying for good… I am taking my place at the head of my dad’s business.  And with that Hiroshima size blast, we are left with impactada Flo face.
 
Previews:
We see Orangina yelling at someone to shut up at Castanon in front of AssGusto
We see Damian telling Flo he is stayin to take over business.. (VO: but we all know the reason is Elisa)…

Una Familia Con Suerte #213-214 Wed 4/18/12 "I am as lonely and deserted as a fat dog!"

Tonight was the first time I heard that the show is in "ultimas semanas" (last weeks). By driving us all to distraction with these double episodes they have been burning through it! Our recapper hell will be over soon. Anybody know just when?


The only time I'm going to say it: I swear by my dead mother, even though Frida moves my needle, it's you I love and I'll do right by you.

Ana and Lupita are both feeling good and enjoying Adrian with stuffed dog and flowers. They're very cute, I'm glad to see Lupita playing puppets with her doggie (saying if Adrian wants to kiss Ana, she'll pretend she's asleep). He tries to press his suit but Ana says stop the car! But she tells Lupita later that she likes him! They'll get out tomorrow. Ana says she's learned her lesson and will never do it again.

Auditor-Barbie is flapping papers around with her badly-hatted assistant when Candy shows up with flowers, flaunting her boobs and introducing herself as Vince's WIFE. She knows her husband and how to manage him. She doesn't want any problems. She sashays out. The auditor is amazed - crazy encounters with two women associated with Irabien.

Pepe's back with his Sirena, but he's a bit sad for Frida. Pancho jokes that Frida is "not of our class."

He's upset that Frida lied and implied "something" happened the night she spent at his apartment. And Frida admits to her boss that she lied because she was desperate.

Vince tells Enzo about Candy's plan to be never boring. "You better not lose her." "But I can't control the seductor inside me!"

Auditor-Barbie sucks up to Pancho a lot. He says he'll take her on huge long tours of Avon. She makes a simpering face and agrees. Her assistant mocks her.

Chela, Candy, and Rebe gossip about Auditor Barbie. FF

Freddy tells Ana he's going to work at Avon, be more independent, cut the umbilical cord, also, he and moms are going on vacation so he wants to say goodbye. Ana tells Lupita his insecurity and his kiss with Karen , she hasn't forgiven him. But Adrian is grown up. "Are you ready to be a stepmother?"

Frida doesn't want Pepe's pity - if she can't have his love she wants nothing. Stomps off.

Enzo tells Pancho about being offered the job in Monterrey. Enzo's waffling about it - he thinks the baby is too young to move - Pancho suggests he try out the new job temporarily, see how he likes it.

Once again it's a full moon in Mexico!!

Lupita and Ana are home. The incredibly handsome Tomas shows up with flowers. Pancho's jealous that Lupita is so happy to see her BF. "That's life," Tomas advises him. FF He is amazed at how wonderful she is. "I admire and love you more than ever." FF

Adrian and his daughters show up unannounced in Ana's bedroom! Daughters Irasu and Melanie meet Temo. FF

Monica has worn the WORST clothes since she came back from Paris! And her neon hair! Frida shows up AGAIN and threatens Moni with her crutch!! Moni says "you lost. And I'm not in Paris, I'm here!" On one foot Frida wants a punching match! It's just pathetic. Pepe drives up and sees the end of this ridiculous scene. Frida is hysterical. Moni is secure enough to leave and let Pepe take sobbing #2 to her home. He gives a very strong, careful explanation to her. She stumps off to her shack.

In her skintight dress Auditor Barbie slinks through the plant with Pancho, whose shirt is unbuttoned most of the way to his belly button. Boxes come crashing down and crush Pancho right on top of Auditor Barbie! She strokes him, he pulls himself away. That wasn't a very good demonstration of good practices on anybody's part! She hugs him in front of all his employees.

Leaving for the airport, Freddy calls Ana to tell her he loves her. She can't say much with Adrian sitting right there on her bed waiting for an answer to his daughter's question: "Do you like my daddy, Ana?" He continues to press his suit. FF

The gossip about the hug is sweeping through Avon. Sandra spreads it to Quetita at the very moment when Auditor Barbie and Pancho, holding hands, go into his office.

Meanwhile at home Rebe is sobbing "I am as lonely and deserted as a fat dog." I liked that one. She and Candy decide to go visit Pancho at work, where Pancho served booze to Auditor Barbie to serve her nerves after almost being crushed by boxes of perfume. She massages his hand very thankfully. Many employees mass outside his door waiting for them to come out. Quetito decides to go in - "I really love Rebe! I didn't know my boss was like all other men!" Auditor Barbie is leaning in closer, closer...

Enzo tells Chelo the plan: to go and give being president of Company X a try - while he's gone, they'll try out various candidates for his job.

Candy and Rebe hear the gossipping Avon girls - "Pancho and Isabella are ... they kissed in the warehouse..." Rebe sobs. Pancho and Isabella have a goodbye kiss witnessed by horrified Sandra and Quetita.

I think Rebe is pretty hysterical as a hysterical pregnant woman infuriated and miserable because she's too pregnant to compete with Auditor Barbie. She asks for a lot of treats and continues crying. He does a good job of reassuring her. Him, and the donuts.

Meanwhile Candy, after warning Sandra not to gossip, spreads the gossip about Auditor Barbie and Pancho to VInce, who isn't happy to hear it.

Chacho is happy with Viagra.

Adrian is, reluctantly leaving, but he and the girls will return tomorrow. He's such a barnacle!! They kiss for a very long time. She accepts his offer to be novios but they have to go slow because she still has some feelings for Freddy.

Good God, Auditor Barbie has actually barged into Rebe's bedroom while she's in her jammies eating treats! Candy leaves. How do you feel? "Do you really want to know? After a productive working life, now I'm in bed feeling like a gigantic milking yard (dairy farm, jail, wayside inn are other translations offered by wordreference.com) and everybody at work thinks you're having an affair with my husband and you ask me how I feel?" After repeating herself several times she asks Auditor Barbie to leave. then she apologizes to Pancho. I think Auditor Barbie has cheek transplants.

Napoleon! And a transvestite named Salome! I guess she's not a transvestite, she just looks like one. She gives him an itty-bitty statue. Or is it a voodoo doll? He has some machinations in the works which are very expensive. She says she's his, unconditionally. It's vengeance on Candy he wants - "we'll make her sorry she was ever born." Fear.

Pancho cheers Rebeca by saying there are some things she can do besides cry. Fix up the baby's room! Decorate the house for Christmas!

Tomorrow: Napoleon has a spy camera in Vince and Candy's bedroom and he watches them play policewoman and suspect. Auditor Barbie blubbers over Pancho.

El Talismán #56 Wed 4/18/12 Schemes, Finding the Past, and Another Caper

Previously on El Talisman:

Tonio goes to see Dr. Manuel about Mariana.

Panchito warns Claudio not to go to El Alcatrash.

Today on El Talisman:

Panchito tells Claudio he knows about how Claudio likes Flor and not to go to Alcatrash cause if he gets caught, Pigorio or Tonio will kill him.

Army and Angel talk about Fabi and what happened in the hotel room when El Viral caught them.

Panchito and Claudio continue to talk. He asks Claudio if he is in love with Flor and how was it to see his Papa in LA? Claudio tells Panchito it went badly with his Papa and that Margo was helping Pedro look for Mariana in LA. Panchito thought bubbles how he will tell Pigorio about this.

Fabi and Flor are talking about El Viral and what happened when she caught Fabi and Army.

Tia Maria and El Viral are talking about what El Viral did when she caught Fabi and Army together and what El Viral did. Tia Maria tells El Viral you are so cruel how could you do this to your own son and his poor girlfriend? Tia tells El Viral she shouldn't punish the poor girl for the sins of her Grandpapa and her Papa. She says you should apologize to Army and Fabi and you need to concentrate on what you are going to do with your life and on your son and daughter. El Viral tells Tia that she is upset because she has little money and she needs to start looking for another man with money. Maria tells her to stop doing that and to look for a man she loves instead of money.

Rennie and Rita are talking and they can't wait to get that money from Tonio. Rita tells Rennie she wants to be Tonio's new girlfriend. Rennie thinks she is crazy and that Cameela will never give up Tonio. Rita basically tells Rennie where there is a will there is a way. She wants Tonio all to herself with his hacienda and all his money and his handsome self.

Padre Sebastian, Cameela and Pedro talk. Pedro tells Padre they are going to go back to Fresno now that they are back together and haven't found Mariana. Pedro says that he will take care of that paperwork so he and Cameela can finally get married. Padre warns Pedro he needs to tell Lucrazy and to be firm about it. Also Cameela tells Padre she can't wait to tell El Viral they are getting married.

Valentin and Pigorio are talking. Pigorio wants to know where Tonio is? He isn't answering his cell phone. Pigorio sends Valentin to look for Panchito.

Fabi and Flor are still talking about Army and what happened, and Fabi thinks she ought to break up with Army over what happened with his Mama. Panchito kind of listens at the door and hears the gist of what they are saying. He is filing this away in his memory banks for future use. He tells the girls he doesn't gossip (yeah right) and won't breathe a word of what he heard. He sees Fabi is very sad.

Tonio is talking to Dr. Manuel. He wants to know if he knows where Mariana is. Manuel plays dumb, and Tonio tells him the sad story of how Mariana married a man that doesn't love her and what this man, Pedro Ibbara, wanted was her hacienda and her money. Pedro is a very bad man. Manuel doesn't look like he beleives him, he is giving him the puzzled look. Mariana is listening outside the door and is upset that twice in one day some man is looking for her. She really doesn't want to know anymore about Pedro. Tonio tells Manuel if he sees her or needs more info to contact him at mio rancho El Alcatrash. Tonio leaves.

Army and Angel are still talking about the debacle at the hotel, when Tia Maria overhears. She encourages Army to talk to Fabi and tell her not to be upset cause El Viral is loca. Angel encourages Army to go find Fabi and explain.

Fabi and Flor are talking about Army too. Flor encourages Fabi to go look for Army and talk to him. Fabi thinks she ought to break up with Army. Flor just rolls her eyes.

Pedro, Cameela and Margo are all driving back together to El Tal. They stop at a pastry shop, and while Margo is inside they look at the wedding cakes the shop also makes. Margo comes back out and says he needed to stop to get something for them to eat, and they laugh and say hey this one with the cakes. Many smoochies between Pedro and Cameela and Margo laughs.

Pigorio is talking to that guy again (don't know his name) about Doris's divorce from Tonio.

Bridgette and Doris are also talking about the divorce and Brigette tells Doris to be careful she doesn't end up in the street with nothing.

Lucrazy and Tonio take a meeting. She tells Tonio about Cameela and Pedro being back together and how they are getting married. Tonio says don't worry about that. We found Mariana and that will put the kibosh on that. Lucrazy wants to activate the Yenny plan with the pics and the gaslight of Pedro. They are in agreement they will do this. Tonio tells her about the meeting he had with Manuel and that he told Manuel that Pedro is a very bad man. They are very happy to stop Pedro and Cameela.

Manuel and Mariana talk. Manuel tells her she needs to confront her past in Fresno and to find out what is true, what isn't and also who is good or bad. Mariana doesn't really want to go, but she says Manuel is right and they need to go to Fresno and find out what is what.

While on the road Pedro takes a call from Padre who tells him he is sending someone named Beatrice to pick up those papers from Pedro about either the divorce from Mariana or declaring her dead. He tells Pedro a flight number she will be on and also to give the papers to her. Pedro calls Tia Patty to tell her this info about the papers and the flight number of Beatrice and to have everything together when he gets back so they can deliver these papers to the airport. Tia Patty repeats the flight number. Panchito is also listening to this and puts this in his memory banks to tell Pigorio.

Panchito meets with Pigorio and tells him about the papers, the flight and about Mariana and Pedro and what he overheard Tia Patty talking about with Pedro. Pigorio is freaking out. He tells Panchito to find Valentin and not to ask any questions. He says Valentin is better equipped to take care of this. Panchito told Pigorio that he thinks Mariana is coming back to Fresno. Pigorio and Valentin meet again, and Pigorio tells Valentin he is to kill Mariana tomorrow at the airport when she arrives! Valentin doesn't want to do this for fear of the police presence and Pigorio says too bad find a way cause I ain't going to the carcel! Pigorio wants Valentin to kill both Mariana and Pedro at the airport.

Army and Angel break into El Alcatrash again! The find Nana outside and put a hand over her mouth so she won't scream. They tell her they won't hurt her they are only looking for Fabi and that Army really needs to talk to her. Nana agrees to be quiet and they ask her to go find Fabi. She does and tells Fabi Armando is outside. Fabi is so happy. She goes outside, Angel introduces himself to her and goes around the corner so Fabi and Army can talk. Army apologizes up and down about what happened at the hotel and that his Mama had no right to do what she did. Fabi accepts his apology and tells her his Mama will have to deal. Angel tries to hurry Army along before they get caught. Flor is so worried about what is taking so long. She wants to go out there to see, but Nana tells her, let Fabi and Army have some alone time. Finally Flor is tired of waiting and calls out to Fabi that she is coming out. Army wants to leave, but Fabi wants him to meet her sister. Army is panicked.

Margo, Cameela and Pedro make it back to El Tal. Pedro tells Margo to get some rest, and Cameela too. Pedro is bringing the bags up to the room when here comes Lucrazy. He tells her she has to leave. Lucrazy is not happy. He tells her he and Cameela are back together, and he will give her money to rent an apartment, but she can't live at El Tal anymore. She tells him about how Cameela is the one that set up the Mariana phone calls to him and he can meet the woman that called if he wants too. Lucrazy tries to tell Pedro that Cameela is the crazy one.

While at Madame Brigette's Pigorio asks if Katerina is there. Madame I think tells him not. Pigorio runs into the Notary there, and the Notary (who is also the PI) tells Pigorio that Pedro wasn't only in LA to find Margarito, he was there to find Mariana as well. Pigorio is very pithed off.

Mariana is having nightmares about Fresno. She asks God to aid her in her quest for her past. And there we end.

Advances:

A hodgepodge of scenes of Mariana, Pedro, Pigorio and Tonio.

El Abismo de pasión #27 4/17/12: Hotheads and Cold Beds

Oficina Tovar:

Carmina still has her tongue in the Doc’s ear. Between pants & gasps, she repeats that if he really loved her he’d falsify the blood test. At least tell me why, he says, but she refuses. The Doc carefully weighs his training, career, professional ethics and reputation against Carmina’s bazongas, and…the bazongas lose! Go figure! Guess they didn’t weigh quite enough.

“You’ve lost me forever,” snarls Carmina. “And you’ve lost ME forever,” says Ed. Good doctor!

On her way out, Carmina takes advantage of Paloma’s lunch break to steal the address of the clinic in Mérida. Hey, it’s only strike one – she’s not out yet.

Procesadora La Anita:

Damián snags Braulio to show los Landuchi around the factory. Florencia’s first observation is that the workers just look so tacky in their little outfits – couldn’t Dam make them wear something cuter? It’s not a casa de modas, he snaps. Really, girl.

Everybody puts on hair nets and dust masks for the Learning Channel tour of habaneros getting bathed & fluffed. Even with only their eyes showing, the Italian contingent looks bored to tears. Zesty Damián looks like he could pinch peppers all day.

Finally Flo starts whining about the heat and runs on home, while Paolo heads to the procesadora office to visit his new bestie Gabino. While Braulio fills Damián in on the real story behind Don Lucio’s “retirement,” Gabino spins Paolo the Arango-approved tale of Eliza coming onto him in the street. (OK; Blue Lass has changed her mind – he can’t be redeemed, no matter how nice he is to his horsey.)

Casita Azul:

Gabino shows up for a rendezvous with Carmina, “right on time,” he points out, just as she asked. But I thought you didn’t want anything to do with me? She circles him like a jungle cat and asks exactly what he would be prepared to do “to have a woman like her.” “Anything,” he says, and somehow he manages not to look like a whipped dog when he says it. (Dr. Tovar, take note.) I think we see where this is going…

But no! He wants trash-on-the-barrelhead, while she wants to run a tab. Scuffle, hiss, lárgates-all-around. Strike two for Team Orange!

Casa Padrino:

Damián drops by to visit Don Lucio and oh, by the way, offer him his old job back. Don Lucio demurs – are you really sure it’s your place to do that? Why are you going back to Mexico anyway – just to prove that mama's not the boss of you? Damián, in a confessing mood, admits not only that Lucio’s partly right, but also that he always dreamed about returning home and taking over the procesadora…but he has another reason to roll besides cutting the apron strings: he’s afraid he might fall in love with Eliza.

This is a telenovela, so of course Eliza is just about to come through the door with a pitcher of water. Cara muy impactada de Eliza, pitcher muy impactada on the floor. Eliza rabbits off. Oopsie, says Blanca – clumsy me!

Casa Castañon:

Paolo shows up to mack on Eliza, who asks him what part of “not even remotely interested” he doesn’t understand. After he leaves, Carmina keeps her part of their little devil’s bargain by telling Eliza she should think twice. After all, she doesn’t have a lot of options in this town. Heckuva marketing plan there, tía.

Assgusto™ sort-of apologizes to Eliza about his latest outburst, but she wants to talk peppers. What if Doña Alfonsina really means it about buying up? Why can’t we plant the fallow fields, Daddy? Why? Why? Assgusto bahs, humbugs, and storms out as usual.

Casa Arango:

Damián walks in the front door and is greeted by Lady A, who demands to know where he was, what he was doing, and who he was with. Unsurprisingly, this gets up his nose, and he tells her he went to offer Don Lucio his old job back. You QUE QUE QUE??? He looks Mommy Dearest full in the face and enunciates very carefully: yes, his old job. At the pro-ce-sa-do-ra.

She squawks that he has no business hiring useless people. Oh, you mean like Paolo? Anyway, I thought you wanted me to take an interest. Alfie gets a gleam in her eye. Well, if you move back here, you can make all the decisions you want…once you’re married, of course. She’s not taking any chances. He says he’ll think about it. (Well, she didn’t say married to whom!)

The Only Restaurant in La Ermita

Damián joins Florencia and Begoña’s brats for dinner out, arriving just in time to keep Enrique from admiring Flo a little too much. The kids switch into rapid-fire gossip mode, running through all the latest scandals, real and imagined – the slap at the party, Eliza coqueteando a Gabino, the altercation with Don Lucio – they are amazed that Damián knows none of this. (Well, maybe he has other things to do -- like be a grown-up.) Then Enrique laughs that no one should be surprised about Eliza and Gabino: after all, she goes with everybody.

Uh-oh.

Dam elbows aside all the incensed middle-aged women in Viewerland and goes to the head of the smackline, where he picks up that pup and tosses him across the cantina like a sack o’ habaneros. He then storms out, with Flo following in tears – would you defend me like that? Would you? Damián can’t answer, which is answer enough.

Casa Arango: The Big Finish

Eliza makes a formal visit to Doña Alfonsina to talk business. Were you serious about buying up our crop? It doesn’t matter, says Alfie smugly, because your father would have to agree, and he doesn’t. We don’t need my father, says Eliza, holding her pointy little chin high: I will be planting my own fields. You go, girl!

More happenings around town:

Useless Vicente has his first day of actual real work at the procesadora. It doesn’t go well.

Ramona warns Carmina to lay off her niece. Listen here, witchy – no, you listen, slutzy – the conversation goes nowhere, and even the mule doesn’t think it’ll do any good.

Eliza fondles her amulet and looks all goofy. [Ai Virgencita, thank you for not giving me the dueling-amulets scene! I promise to be very, very good until my next recap.]

Irritating Ingrid™ pretends to sprain an ankle in front of Gael to gain access to the house. Padre Lupe is not best pleased but misses a chance to come clean – one of many, no doubt.

Carmina tries unsuccessfully to bribe the nurse at the blood lab with a string of pearls. Strike three!

Avances:

Lots of amulet action, and Enrique lobs a soft grounder to Flo on first base.

La Que No Podía Amar #80 Tuesday 4/17/12 That darn blabbermouth kid

La que no podía amar (LQNPA) April 17, 2012, Cap 80
That darn blabbermouth kid

This is another short bulleted recap, which hopefully will be expanded later. (UPDATE: It's been as filled out as it's gonna get!)

We start out with a screencap:

Rohell, garbed in fetching hospital gear, looks serious after hearing from that blabbermouth M-Grito that Cupcake is bedridden.

RECAP IN BRIEF (Events are not necessarily listed in order)

* It looks like Rutile is believed now to be the culprit for Maripaz's demise and Miguel is (finally!) off the hook. Macaria and Ulises apologize to Miguel. Consuelo does too, and she and Miguel hug and make up.

* Sinthia is now officially the Weakest Link. She has messed up the cattle thing soooo badly. She's told by the officials that this doping the cattle thing could land her (or someone) in jail. She begs Effer for help, but he tells her to accept the blame for messing up. She took the guards off the cattle, just to defy Cupcake and now she (Sin) is going to have to accept the consequences for that.

Sin is desperate for Effer's help, but it's not forthcoming, since she's been such an idiot. She also earns points with Effer by calling him "stupid." 

* The Gustavito gives Cupcake a rose and tells her some mushy stuff about how he'd die if anything were to happen to her or the hijo. Then he tells her about Miguel's good news. She's thrilled. Gustavito moves in for a kiss but Cupcake doesn't seem all that eager to be kissed by him. Tia walks in on this (interrupting the almost-kiss) and rips the Cupcake a new one for allowing all this to happen.

Prince Charming . . . NOT.

Cupcake really isn't totally into getting this kiss, but she doesn't resist it either. Fortunately Tia comes in to save the day. (Seriously, Cupcake? This is in your HUSBAND'S house. True, he's been a douche, and true, he's not a "real" husband . . . yet . . . but he's trusting in YOU. Use some decorum. And you too Gustavito! You eat Rohell's food, boink his sister, and now are putting the moves on his wife, while he blissfully is unaware and trusting.  Sheesh!)

* Sin complains to Bruno about the clenbuterol. Somehow it's Cupcake's fault, she thinks. Really, she is too much.

* Mersnotty freaking out by the Gustavito's near miss with Rutile and his gun. Shrieking and carrying on as I FF>>>

* Sin thinks that when the clenbuterol crap (however you spell it) clears from the cattles' bodies (a few days) that they should be good to sell. Vainessa, however, says no way, that the cattle are contaminated and she's not buying them! Sin tries to play the friendship card with Vain, but Vain, who is for the moment showing common sense, is not going along with this. She even threatens to sue Sin if she doesn't sort out this mess. Impactada look from Sin. Vain says she'll get her meat somewhere else, she's not going to let her business suffer because of Sinthia's idiocy. (Remember, Sin ordered the guards off of the cattle, which then allowed them to be tainted yet again with clenbuterol crap.)

* Vain even goes on to say that she now sees why Rohell never allowed Sinthia to handle her half of the Hacienda—she's incompetent! Also, it's revealed that if they lose this account, that the Hacienda could be out half of their profits. Vain also reluctantly admits that when Paula was in charge, things were going okay. So this is all Sin's doing. Sin responds to all of this by kicking Vain out.

"Don't put the blame on Cupcake!" Vain yells at Sin.

* More crap with Team Evil. The Gustavito knows that Rutile worked for Bruno. The Gustavito also knows now that Bruno was the guy that Mersnotty saw kissing Cupcake. Gustavito now connects the dots and figures that Bruno sent Rutile to beat him up, thus separating him from the Cupcake, and threatens Bruno and says if he ever finds out that it was Bruno that was behind his beating . . . Bruno tries to imply that Rohell ordered Rutile to beat up Gustavito. He leaves in a huff and Bruno displays a sh*t-eating grin.

Sneaky Bruno smirks as a huffy Gustavito leaves.

* Tia comes in and puts in a word for Team Rohell. What a great guy he is, generous, blah blah blah. She tells Cupcake that she loves Rohell. Cupcake claims that she loves both guys. More claims of confusion. FF>>

* Effer talks with Ulises and Macaria about that Rutile guy. They're trying to connect the dots more about him being the culprit for Maripaz's death. After Macaria leaves, Ulises and Effer talk about Ulises's marriage. Yeah, right. Ulises says that at some point it feels like he and Macaria became less of a couple and more like Maripaz's parents. He's afraid that Macaria doesn't love him anymore. Effer looks concerned about this.

* Sin cries on the Gustavito's shoulder about being such a complete and utter loser and hopeless at running the business. Gustavito gives her encouraging words, not aware of what a complete dipshit she really is.

* Cupcake writes Rohell a very lovey-dovey, touchy-feely letter to Rohell, hoping for the best outcome for the operation, telling him that she "querers" him, and ending the letter by giving him a "strong hug." All very affectionate, so you know Rohell's going to lap that up.

* Cupcake gives this letter to Maria (who will relay it to Ernesto). She and Maria have a nice little chat where she thanks Maria for her support, even though she knows that her complicated situation (impregnated by the Gustavito) will affect Rohell when he finds out. Maria smiles and says she doesn't see any reason to make things more difficult for Cupcake. Then it comes out how Sin is treating poor Maria like crap, even though Maria raised her from infanthood. Maria is very hurt by this and cries that Sin makes sure to remind her that she's just a servant. Cupcake comforts her.

Sin, you bruja, you made your NANA cry. That is seriously not okay.

* More with Sin and Gustavito. She can count on him to help; he thinks it's troubling that there's someone trying to sabotage them.

* Bruno spins some BS tale to Ulises, saying that he didn't know what Rutile was up to and that he's told the police everything he knows, but it wasn't enough to help. Ulises has no reason not to believe this.

* Rohell is writing a letter to Cupcake, while wearing black satin jammies. He displays his dimples to great advantage and he remembers (as we are shown flashbacks) all the good times with Cupcake—her offering him a taste of her ice cream cone, the many kisses they shared, and so forth. He remembers her saying that if she fell in love with him, all she'd care about was him. This brings on even more dimples as he smiles, all hopeful and oblivious to what's really going on at home, thinking good thoughts of love about his blushing bride. Then the nurse comes in to ask him how he's doing. He says he's fine, but nervous, since tomorrow he's having an operation that will change his life forever. Then he gives another dimpled grin. Aw, Rohell, bless your heart, your trusting, hopeful heart!

Writing a letter in his satin jammies.

Remembering some of the good times with Cupcake, while also remembering what she told him about if she falls in love with him, he'll be the only thing she'll think of. 

Hopeful and dimpled.

* Sin and Bruno talking about the cattle problem. She tells him all her concerns. He advises her to suck it up and ask Vain for help.

* Chio appears and I hit the FF button. Sorry. (Okay, I didn't hit the FF button but I felt the need to check my email just then. Just saying.) Actually, she's looking for a good carpenter. Gus does know of one, as it happens.

* Mersnotty tries to make nice with Cupcake, since Cupcake is the incubator for Mersnotty's niece or nephew. She also tells Cupcake that the Gustavito would "die for" the kid. Cupcake is touched, I guess.

* Tia gets into an argument with Bruno about all that's going down. Bruno has a plan, however. Rohell will be gone for a while, Cupcake can have her baby (or not) and in the meantime, they can conspire to get everything signed over in Cupcake's name, and then Bruno can get his lands back, and then start to manage the Del Fuerte Hacienda. He has a lot of contacts and can repair the soon-to-be-trashed reputation of the Hacienda by saying that it's no longer in the hands of the Monteros.

* Tia enjoys rubbing it in with the Gustavito how his single (cheapskate LOL) rose does not compare favorably with Rohell's (hideous) large floral arrangement. She makes a big production of finding somewhere to put Gustavito's lone rose, making sure the Gustavito sees Rohell's lavish gift in the process. The Gustavito gets the message loud and clear.

* Sinthia approaches Cupcake in her sickbed and asks Cupcake if she really cares for Rohell, and if so, Sin will help clear the path for Cupcake, encourage Rohell to accept Cupcake and her kid, as this will leave the field clear for Sin to swoop in on the Gustavito and marry him. Cupcake looks a bit incredulous at hearing this offer.

* Things are going bad for Sin, who is now regretting her arrogant mishandling of the cattle thing. Vain just isn't in the mood to let her business suffer due to Sin's idiocy. David looms in and says to Sin that he's the only one who is left supporting her. Sin replies that it's a lie; had he been truly "supportive," he wouldn't have cut off water to the Hacienda. Ouch!

* Rohell is about to go to be operated on, and he calls home. Big mistake. He gets that blabbermouth kid M-Grito, who lets slip that Cupcake is bedriddin and too ill to come to the phone. Rohell tries to act like he's not concerned, and M-Grito immediately realizes that he blabbed where he shouldn't, but the DAMAGE IS DONE, DAMMIT!!! You can see the wheels spinning in Rohell's mind as he digests this news.

Rohell is shocked to hear about Paula's mystery illness.

Little blabbermouth realizes too late that he's stuck his foot in it.

* Later, Cupcake, M-Grito, and Maria all pray for Rohell's well-being as they wait for news on his operation. Which never comes. Night falls and still no news. 

Many prayers for Rohell's wellbeing.


Avances: Rohell returns to the Hacienda, STILL IN HIS WHEELCHAIR. That darn kid! He's ruined everything! We see Rohell talking with Cupcake, his face at first hopeful, but then she drops the bomb and you see Rohell looking shocked and striken. I think she's going to make Rohell cry.

Here are some select screenshots:

Still hopeful, Rohell rolls into Cupcake's room.

She drops the bomb. . .

. . . and I think she made him cry!

Poor Rohell, still absorbing the shock.

That is all I've got in me. Put a fork in it, I am done!
