Abismo de pasión #64 6/11/12: Lowered Expectations Continue

  El Refrito
  • Elisa hugs Assgusto. Assgusto recoils and leaves. 
  • Elisa hugs self. Huddles in the fetal position on the bed. Hugs pillow.
  • Gab and II blab about Gael and II getting caught by Alfonsina. They argue about telling Gael who his daddy is.
  • Dam gives Paloma the sad news that he saw Elisa and Gael passionately kissing. (Paloma needs to be added to the list of characters needing a peinado make-over.)
Lo Nuevo
Breakfast Table: Casa Castigo
Carmina fishes for info about Gael and Kenia's mom. Elisa is suspicious. Carmina tells her she's going to head to Sab's place and find out the latest chisme. Elisa asks her not to get into Gael's business since he's sensitive. Carmina says she's really more interested in getting dirt on Kenia since *mumblemumble* your dad is so interested in her *mumblemumble* Elisa says Huh? Carmina plays it off. Nada. Nada. Ask your father when you see him.

El Consultorio del Doctor Toofar
Doc is glad Dam is getting around without crutches and is confident Dam won't need the cane much longer, either. Dam is Dam Grateful for all Doc has done. Doc reminds him about his awesome friend Gael who was literally a lifesaver. Dam wishes that blood had come from anyone BUT Gael (Dam ungrateful if you ask me.) Dam won't explain to Doc why he said it, though.  Doc is sure that things are going to be just like they were in a few days. Dam doubts it. Things have changed forever.

La Estética-Un Toque de Glamour
Sabrina is helping mommy get gussied up to win back daddy when Pop! Goes the Sleazel! She explains needing to get her nails done and is asked to wait. She takes a moment to cry fake tears (*eyeroll*) and wish Be-gone the best of luck with resolving her marital problems. The Artificial Orange flavor then explains the she, too is losing her husband. Be-gone takes the bait and asks for a few more details. After asking for discretion (*snort*) Carmina explains that Assgu has a lover. Be-gone is shocked that such an upright and distinguished (*snort*) man would do such a thing and asks who the lover is. Some Kenia chick who was pregnant with Paolo Landucci's child, Carmina responds. Did you catch that Sabrina? Be-gone calls Kenia a "fichita"...whatever that means. Carmina has a few choice words as well (golfa among them) and is incensed that this little chit (fichita?) came into her house...her house(!) under the guise of being Elisa's friend just to lure her husband away. Be-gone is not at all surprised. What else does one expect from Elisa and her ilk? Be-gone tells Carmina she is living through the same pain Alfonsina must have felt when Carmina's own sister was running around with Rosendo. Without missing a beat Carmina says "or how you felt when your own hubs stepped out on you!" (She wisely didn't get into the details of WHO that was he was with.)

La Casa De Dios (y Gael y Padre)
Alfonsina comes calling. She is ever so grateful for his help in saving her son. Now, would he be willing to take a little bribey-poo and take himself and Elisa the heck out of La Ermita? Gael tells her that 1. He can't convince Elisa of anything and 2. He doesn't want/need her "help." Alfonsina knows he's always loved Elisa and if he took her away maybe she would realize that he is the one that is really best for her. Gael repeats he doesn't want her help and Alfonsina asks him not to ignore this "opportunity." She comes face to face with II as she leaves. Gael is a little confused to see they know each other and while II is indeed irritating, it is especially nice to see her irritating Fina. ji ji. II explains that they are they old friends and they met when she was preggers with Gael. Gael wonders if Fina knows who his daddy is. Fina says she knows nothing about his father and explains that II was in quite the economic straits when she was pregnant. Fina claims she really didn't know Gael was II's and II must have had a pretty powerful reason for dumping Gael on her brother's doorstep. Gael gets so frustrated about all the mystery that he tells II that she isn't his mother and he doesn't even care who his father is. His real family is Padre Lupe. He asks II to leave and not to look for him again. He throws both the old broads out.

Foyer-Casa Castigo
Well that was disappointing. Paloma, honey, didn't you learn from the best: Begonia? So yeah, Paloma slaps Elisa. I give it a 4. No real wind up or follow-through. Paloma yells at Elisa for not telling her about Gael. Elisa tries to explain. Paloma cries. Elisa swears there's nothing going on. Paloma never wants to see Elisa again. Paloma says Elisa deserves it that people have always criticized her based on her mom's actions...because Elisa is just like her and worse. Ouch. Now that was worse than a slap.

The Only Café in La Ermita
Fina wants to know why the fly (II) is back in her ointment. She tells II that not only will she not blackmail her again, she will pay her back the money she gave her before. II refuses and says Fina ruined her life. Fina thinks II did that on her own when she messed with someone who didn't belong to her (Rosendo.) Fina is no dummy. She knows II is just out for a buck and really not that interested in Gael. Fina says even if Gael were to find out, she wouldn't give him anything since Rosendo never claimed Gael as his (oh I can't wait until she finds out otherwise.) Fina makes TN threat #345 "You don't know what I'm capable of." II counters with #67 "You aren't going to touch a hair on my chinny chin chin because there is someone who knows about everything and if something happens to me, they will know who hurt me, so you better leave me in peace."

First commercial break and a "muy pronto" for Por Ella Soy Eva.

La Casa De Kenia
Um. This scene is a little nauseating. Surely it is enough to tell you that Kenia tells Assgu she loves him and Assgu tries to explain to her why they can't be together. She's sure she lerves him. He has to go to work, but she asks him to come back after work. Cheesy saxophone mood music sets the tone for this scene. Blergh.

Un Toque de Glamour-Parte II
Be-gone and Nem-HO share chismes. Mrs Carefully Calculating Loose Lips tells Be-gone all about Kenia and her brother in town and ask Be-gone to be discreet. Be-gone vows she is a very discreet person (*snort*) They both know what it's like to be betrayed by a husband. And Steffie's "behavior" gets dragged out again, and Elisa's behavior gets dragged out again. Be-gone mentions it's such a curse Carmina has been living (excuse me while I discreetly gag.) Mrs CC Loose Lips informs Be-gone that none other than Gael is Kenia's brother. Be-gone's little brain cells starts firing and she tells Nem-ho about II and her recent trip to the beauty parlor and all the questions she asked about Gael and how gossipy she was.

Pro Ce Sa Do Ra
Gab fusses at Braulio about the continued work at the Castañon tierras. Gab insists he's the one that "manda" and Braulio insists he's only going to listen to Joven Dam. Gab says these instructions are from Fina herself. Dam arrives. Gab explains he's following orders from Fina and doesn't want to get into trouble with her. Dam says he will fire Gab, but Gab is pretty sure he has Fina's full support and leaves. Dam wants to honor the signed contract and sends Braulio to oversee the project.

Cocina de Castigo-I heart Lolita
Elisa whines to Lola. Lola tells her straight up she's hurting a lot of people and it's not fair. Neither Gael or Paloma deserve it. Lola doesn't care her reasons, it doesn't justify what she's doing. What Elisa needs to do is confront Fina. Elisa has to take some responsibility.

Witch Mountain
Paloma whines and rails about Elisa stealing Gael from her. Abuela tells her straight up that Elisa hasn't "stolen" anything. Gael has always loved Elisa.

La Casa Azul
Pop Goes the Sleazel AGAIN!! Nem-ho tells II to keep Kenia away from Assgusto.

El consultorio-Parte II
Elisa comes to see Paloma. How does that girl keep her job??? Conversation turns to Dam and the wedding. Elisa explains there won't be a wedding. Doc wonders if the now in town Flo has anything to do with that. Elisa says no and wonders why Doc asked. Poor Enrique, he has it bad for Flo.

Pro Ce- Parte II
Enrique conveniently explains to Dam how much Flo loves him and that she has no interest in Quique.

Padre Lupe's Study
Don Lucio comes to talk to him about Maru and guilt about Bianca having only died a little while ago. Padre likes the Lucio/Maru match (and his basket of snacks) FF>>

El Consultorio-Parte III
Be-gone arrives and tells Doc Tovar to cancel all his appointments.

La Casa Azul
Nem-ho tells II to keep slutty Kenia away from Assgusto. II says she can't control Kenia. Nem-ho says II is living in her house. Get that kid under control.

Witch Mountain-Parte II
Elisa...Paloma...tears...earnest explicating. It was the only way I could get Dam to forget about me! I had to! Dad would go to jail again! Whatever.

Casa Harangue-o
Fina comes in calling Gab an imbecile and he explains about the Braulio/Tierras issue and she tells him she's berating him for a different muck-up. Why didn't he get rid of II???? Gulp. Fina wants to know where she is!  Gab tries to find out Fina's problem with II. Fina shuts him down. His job is to obey. Well, for obeying he just got in trouble with Dam. She figures its about the lands. Just forget it and let them work the lands. Elisa owes her a bunch of money anyway and the lands are the guarantee. Fina tells him to get along with Dam and not try to play smart with him.

Hacienda Castigo
Gael discovers work is continuing as usual on the greenhouse. He asks Braulio about the canceled contract, but Brau doens't know anything about that.

Back at the house, II has come to call and yes, Assgu recognizes her as the lady with the pearl necklace AND Gael's mom.  II informs Assgu that he should lay off her UNDERAGE daughter or she'll send him to jail!! Gulp.

Foyer Casa Harangue-O
Ugh. Another scene I couldn't stomach. Dam is home and Flo is waiting. She admits that she made mistakes that hurt the relationship. She wants a chance to win his love again. Dam admits he made mistakes, too...but it won't change how he feels about Elisa. Flo wants a chance to help him forget about Elisa. She starts to leave, but Dam stops her and asks "Do you really love me?" She answers "Let me show you how much. " They kiss. I wretch. Ji ji. Off key clunker as the scene ends. An auditory QTH? if you ask me.

Avances of a Capítulo Decisivo
  • Paloma cries and begs Gael to at least give her a try. 
  • Gael caves and gives her a kiss. Padre Impactado looks on. 
  • Did you get the impression Elisa saw the slimy Flo/Dam kiss?

El Talismán #94 Mon 6/11/12 The Truth Goes Round and Round

 

People like to talk, and in doing so they tell the truth. It puts less strain on the memory. M. Hercule Poirot

Pedro and El Viral are still going round and round about the Cami married the Beltbuckle problemo. Of course Cameela married Tonio for love says the El Viral and Pedro continues to give the gaseous one the stink eye. Pedro tells El Viral that is so not true. Cameela is in love with me, he says and not with The Beltbuckle, Prince of Darkness.

Manuel and Cameela are still talking at the wedding. He tells her it is very important to tell him, anything she knows about Mariana being at Altrash. She doesn't know anything she swears. She keeps looking over her shoulder to see what the Prince of Darkness is doing. Manuel is begging her to please help him. The Prince of Darkness must have some mind antenna or ESP cause he senses something is up, so he comes over to see what Manuel and Cameela are talking about! Cameela says she is just offering her congrats to Manuel and The Prince of Darkness says he came over cause he wants to get to know his bride's family better, (Yeah right sure, sure).

El Viral is giving her best lying, wheedling and ingratiating voice and tells Pedro, Cami, certainly does NOT love you. Oh, the horror of the lie, really, jus' sayin'. She says there is no chantaje. He wants to know if it is because of something the Virus did. Who, me, oh noes it wasn't because of me, it isn't my fault, notice something funny??? Her nose is growing by the second and the headband is getting tighter by the second too. Somebody call the hazmat team, there will be a gas leak soon, jus' sayin'.

Camella and The Prince of Darkness are standing alone now and she wants to talk to her brother. The Prince of Darkness is keeping her on a tight leash.

Not even 3 feet from them, is Army, Angel and Flor. They are talking about, are you ready??? Cameela is preggers!!!! They want to know where she got this info. She says she knows, cause it is well know all over Altrash, but she was told not to say anything, whoopsie!!!!!

Doris and Brigette having a little meeting at the Only Ho House in Fresno. Doris tells Brigette that the Piggy One is very sick, but she could care less about it. She just wants Altrash.

Rita, Rennie and Jaime are having a little down time together. Jaime says we should go to Florida, guffaw!!! (Aren't we really in Miami, jus' sayin'). They have lots of women there, with money, that are so willing and able to be scammed. They even have pics and everything, (Wonder if Rita did the research???). Jaime's cell phone goes off and it is Panchito on the other end. It is urgent for Jaime to come to Altrash the Pig is ailing.

El Viral is really getting desperate now, (Note to the Virus: The hazmat team is on the way, just in case you blow, jus' sayin'). She tells him to vete mi casa (since when is this YOUR casa), anyhoo, Pedro is so NOT leaving until he gets the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the TRUTH from the Virus. Pedro says Tell Me! El Viral tells him she can't tell him. Pedro says this is your daughter we are talking about, rememba her, do you? (Note to Pedro: she could care less, show her that money again.). He tells her again, Tell Me! She says, finally, without blowing, thank Dios for that, it is her fault.

Doris wants to know where this new Doctorocito came from, all of a sudden. Is he a client of Brigettes? She says no, but Lucas knows him.

El Viral is spilling all the frijoles to Pedro now. She tells him Tonio convinced her to buy the poison and she will be accused of trying to kill the Pig, but it is really the Prince of Darkness that is doing the deed. So Pedro says oh, so that was the chantaje, sending your lappy ass to jail???

We are back at the wedding and Cameela is thinking about the wedding interruptus with Pedro and she is crying. The Prince of Darkness wants to know why she is crying. She says she is thinking of her lovely aunt.

Manuel and Maria are seated and there is a judge and they are acceptoing each other and now they are married. Big Hug. Cameela is so happy for them.

Jaime has made it to Altrash and the Pig is in his sty. Jaime tells him once again that what he is feeling is the side effects of these new pills. Pig is done with that already, and tells him he doesn't beleive him anymore. Pig tells him he has been taking this med in one form or another for years, and it has never done this to him, evva. Now he tells Jaime to , wait for it, LARGATE Mi Rancho. The whole time Jaime talked to the Pig, whatever strength the Pig had, he used for a headlock on Jaime. He physically throws Jaime out of his sty. Panchito is right outside the sty and wants to know what the heck is going on? Jaime tells him to get another doc, he is so done with the Pig. Panchito goes into the Pig's sty and Panchito wants to know what is up, Papa Pig? The Pig can barely wallow. He tells Panchito he wants another Doctorocito and to tell NOONE, especially The Prince of Darkness.

Back at the wedding, The Prince of Darkness is talking to his lovely daughter Flor, the one with the avacadoes, jus' sayin'. He wants her to get along with Cameela. Flor tells her Papa Darkness she will try, oh so hard, to be a good little girl, she doesn't want to cause any problems and she will be nice to Cameela.

We are back to Pedro and El Viral. Now she is in her pleading mode, begging and pleading for Pedro not to runtelldat, to the cops. She so doesn't want to end up in the carcel. She says the Prince of Darkness may still put her there, if he finds out she confessed to Pedro. She says Cami will never forgive her for telling Pedro, and she'll be mad at her. (Say What??? Cameela would really love to wash you right out of her hair, jus' sayin'). By the Way, Pedro did NOT give her the dinero.

Manuel tells Maria she doesn't have to go back to her place. Maria says she needs to go, cause she doesn't really have anything at his place. He thinks that's alright, wink, wink.

Sarita and Lucrazy are coming down the stairs at El Tal. (Note to Sarita: You blew it girl, shoulda stuck your foot out and said , whoopsie, ah well). Sarita is telling her to get lost, she can't stand the thought of Lucrazy living at El Tal. Lucrazy is starting to answer when Pedro comes in and wants to know what is going on?? And of course she greets him with Hola, Mi Amor, Pedro es Mio, not the Pedro es mio part, but you get the idea. He wants to get her a spot of tea, she says she's good, but he goes to the kitchen anyways. He also said something about something being important, her Papa Pig and fiasco. Someone please fill in.

Maria and Cami have some alone time, and Maria wants to know how Camella is doing? Is the Prince of Darkness bothering her much? (Note to Maria: You can tell by her face, she hates him, jus' sayin'), Cameela says nah, I'm so with him. That's Cameela's story and she is stickin' with it. Maria tells Cameela she knows very well this is all the Virus' fault, and Cameela tells her never to tell a soul.

Lulu and Pedro have come to Altrash. Lucrazy has come to see her Papa Pig in his Pig Sty and Pedro is forbidden to come with. So he stays out in the living room and here comes, Tracy. He asks Tracy about why Cameela married the Prince of Darkness, Tracy tells him, her lips are sealed she can't tell. Swore to Cameela she would never tell. Pedro says it involves chantaje, doesn't it? She will not say. She says it is very peligroso and if she tells Cameela will pay a terrible price. Pedro wants to know what terrible price will Cameela have to pay. Tracy tells him very well. He follows her out of the room. Pedro is following Tracy when he is intercepted by Panchito of all people. He asks Pedro, Que Haces Aqui? He asks Panchito how he is? Panchito is very watchful of our Pedro. Panchito wants to know what he is doing in the hallway? Pedro is fast on his feet, and tells Panchito he was looking for Lucrazy. Panchito tells him you don't belong in this hallway, cause A). You could overhear something, B). There might be a killing you wouldn't want to be a witness to, or C). Doris might be doing the hootchie kootchie dance and you really wanna, oopsy, I meant you really DON'T wanna be seeing that. Panchito tells him he really shouldn't be wandering the hallways and leads him back to the living room. He asks Pedro to sit. Pedro starts asking little Panchito about Mariana. Panchito wants to know why Pedro wants to know? Pedro is really good at this I have to say here, Panchito is sweating. (Note to Pedro: Go to El Capitan and tell him you'll go to the Police Academy, but your speciality will be as a closer, jus' sayin. There's a woman named Brenda Lee Johnson that can teach you some technique, doncha know). Pedro asks Panchito if he is nervous. Panchito has the deer in the headlights " luke". Panchito wants to know why Pedro wants to know about Marina. Cause she was murdered, that's why, and if you know anything, anything at all you need to call the cops, right away, capiche. It would releive your conscience, in other words confession is good for the soul. Pedro also lets Panchito know that he knows that the Pig is Panchito's papa. Pedro says he has known for awhile,and reminds him to call the cops if he knows anything. He tells Panchito he won't tell anyone that the Pig is his Papa. He thanks Panchito and goes.

Meanwhile, speak of the devil's associate, Val is in El Capitan's office, being grilled about Mariana. El Capitan wants to know, what did you know and when did you know it, not really but he is making Val sweat bullet, er blood, er you get the pic. Anyhoo, Val's excuse is, are you really ready for this, ya sure, he was watching TV of all things a telenovela on the night in question. Not a telenovela but TV for sure, dude. El Capitan is being rather kid glovy with ole Val. He wants to know if he knew Mariana was in town. Val knows nothink,nothink I tell you, but is sweating those armpits up.

Manuel and The Prince of Darkness are having a little convo, and Manuel starts right in on the Beltbuckle. Didn't you know Mariana when you were kids? Oh, sure I knew her. Our ranches were right next to each other. So then Papa Pig knew her too, right, right???? Manuel explains to the Prince of Darkness that he is just trying to find out what happened to his Mariana and why she was murdered. The Prince of Darkness, I think, tells Manuel El Capitan was already out to see them, and that his Papa Pig is very sick (yeah in more ways than one.).

Papa Pig is in his pig sty ,in his pen and Lucrazy comes in. Papa Pig tells her to LARGATE. Pig tells her the only thing important to you is that Pedro. She tells him she is here for him. He wants to know why she played dead for so long? He tells Lucrazy she doesn't care nada for him. The Pig tells Lucrazy you put your half of Altrash in The Beltbuckle's hands and he is trying to kill me. He tells Lucrazy she doesn't care if he dies. Lucrazy says she does so care, and he says why did you give your half of Altrash to the Beltbuckle? He isn't even my son, or your brother. She is like say what??? The Pig tells Lucrazy it's the truth or his name isn't Greggorio Negrete (he really said that lol). She tells her Papa Pig to get some rest, and he tells her he is glad she is alive, cause she is truly his daughter, Lucrazy leaves, very verklempt. She meets Pedro in the living room and he asks how she is. She gives him a big ole hug.

Brigette and Doris are still talking and Doris thanks Brigette very much for telling her that Lucas knows "Doc" Jaime. Now Doris is on a mission to find out if the Prince of Darkness hired "Doc" Jaime to fiddle with the Pig's pills.

Jaime, Rita, and Rennie are together again, and Rennie is reminding Jaime that unless he finished the job for the Prince of Darkness he won't be getting any dinero out of him. Jaime wants to leave, like yesterday, he's done, he's had it, he's gone. He says he gottsta go, the Pig is dying in his sty and he is loco to boot. Jaime really wants to go. There are a whole lot of reasons why, and the sooner he gets to Florida, the better. He says someone is gonna call the police. He says those pills he gave the Pig are truly bad. Rennie is like wait a minute, the Beltbuckle is really trying to kill his Papa Pig? Jaime is like oh, yeah, didn't I mention that, gotta go. I smell some chantaje here from Rennie.

El Viral is still desperate. She is now calling Cameela's cell phone and can't reach her. She is wayyyy out of sorts. What if Pedro ratfinks me out, I'll go to la carcel (Just where you belong, better yet, how about the mental ward of la carcel).

Manuel, Maria, Cameela and El Beltbuckle are now together and he asks Cameela if she is ok. El Beltbuckle wants to make an announcement. Cameela says whatever you want dear, while she rolls her eyes. El Beltbuckle is about to make an announcement, gets everyone's attention, when he is thawrted by the door bell. Manuel goes to answer, and it is, really wait for this one, are you ready, ya sure, ok, it is El Viral of all people. She wants Cameela cause it is a big tragedy about to happen and she needs to see her alone, por favor. Manuela and Maria are pretty pithed off and want to know what El Viral is doing here. How dare she interrupt. Cameela leads her out of the room and they go to another room, and Cameela wants to know why she was interrupting. She tells Cameela Pedro knows it all, about her marrying the Beltbuckle because of chantaje. Maria has stepped into the room too. She begs Cameela to tell Pedro not to tell, or she is afraid Pedro will spill the frijoles. They want to know why the Virus thinks Pedro will spill the fijoles, because he knows about the chantaje that's why. Maria advices El Viral to go to the cops herself and lay it all out for them. oh perish the thought. El Viral calls Maria crazy, as if. Maria reminds the Virus she is a married woman now and is in love with Manuel so take that, ya bloody bird. They don't think Pedro will spill the frijoles.



Angel, Army and Flor are still in their little gang of three, and Army says his Virus of a Mama has GOT TO GO. His Virus mama just wants ATTENTION doncha know. Flor rolls her eyes.

Lucrazy and Pedro are back at El Tal. She doesn't want to be alone and is squeezing poor Pedro. He says he is going to the kitchen and will be right back. Pedro goes in the kitchen and tells Margo and Domitilla that Lucrazy is stayin' but not to worry he is fooling her until he can get some answers. They don't get it and so are not down with that.

Meanwhile Manuel and the Beltbuckle are talking and the Beltbuckle is telling Manuel that the Virus is very theatrical (ya think) and Manuel tells him she's just jealous cause I married her sister.

The Beltbuckle comes to join the ladies and they tell him it is all about the Rennie apartment excuse and she just needed some advice. (Oh, that will really go over, and this is a tragedy???). The Beltbuckle congrats Maria for her marriage to Manuel and says he and Cameela gotta be goin'. They go, and Maria and Manuel tell ole Virus she gotta go, cause she ain't welcome anymore.

Cameela, The Beltbuckle and Flor have come back to Altrash. Flor tells Cameela nighty night and is very nice to her. Cameela is nice back. Cami is on her way to bed, but the Beltbuckle wants a little kissy poo for his dreams. Cami says oh sure whaevva ya wants, she comes close to his lush lips and goes sideways and pecks his cheek. She goes to bed, he doesn't look happy, not enough for his dreams, lol. Anyhoo, his cell phone rings and it is Lucrazy. Lucrazy wants to know if he is still trying to kill Papa Pig? The Beltbuckle tells her not to interfere. About this time, Pedro has come back into the living room of El Tal and overhears what Lucrazy just said to the Beltbuckle. Pedro says oh, so now The Beltbuckle, Prince of Darkness is trying to kill your Papa? Lucrazy is like what, what, oh noes he isn't. Pedro, the closer, wants to know if that is the truth? No, No honey, honestly you misheard. He argues with her and she is Mi Amoring him to death. Pedro wants the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth of The Beltbuckle trying to kill their Papa. Pedro says he won't go to the cops, but wants the truth.

Get this, you will not beleive this in a million years, but Val is in his office, praying, yes that's right, praying to Dios that noone, especially the cops find out he was an accomplice to Mariana's murder. The Beltbuckle comes in and asks Val if he ever told the Pig about those pills. Val says of course not and not to worry. The Beltbuckle is scared that if the Pig has his blood analyzed or those pills that will tell the pills were poisoned. The Beltbuckle says the problem is you know all about them. That's another reason.

Cami is in bed sleeping when she is woken up by, no,no, not the Beltbuckle, but by Tracy. Basically the convo was about Pedro knowing some of the truth, but not all. Tracy tells her that Pedro wants her help. Cameela tells her not to tell or it will be a fiasco. Cameela tells Tracy she will find a way out of Altrash sooner rather than later, (ya only got four more days, jus' sayin').

Pedro and Margo are talking and he says he has to confirm thru Lucrazy that the Beltbuckle blackmailed the Virus into getting Cameela to marry him. Pedro also tells Margo that the Beltbuckle is try to kill is not Papa Pig.

Angel,Army and Virus are now together in the soon to be Angel's apartment, and Virus tells the boys that Pedro now knows the truth. The boys tell her that Pedro is so in love with Cameela and she has never, evva loved the Beltbuckle. Virus, it's all about her, doncha know, is just so sure Pedro is running to tell the cops as they speak. Angel tells the Virus basically, You did the crime now do the time (Really he did. Love the avacadoes on this young man). Army heartly agrees with him. The Virus is not amused.

Refugio Para el Amor #23-24 Mon 6/11/12 Mati Selectively Spills the Soup, and Luci Has Bigger Rocks Than Rod (But We Already Knew That)


I wrote way too much tonight. Tomorrow will just be bullet points style. Enjoy!

Rod shocks his buddies by saying he doesn’t think he can go through with the wedding. He denies that it has to do with another woman—he’d be doing it for himself. The guys think it’s just pre-wedding jitters—just a symptom of his upcoming loss of freedom. They remind him of another friend of theirs who freaked out as he was putting on his tie before going to the church. But he made it to the church, and has been happily married ever since.  Rod doesn’t look convinced.

In the kitchen, Gala is telling her girl friends about how she turned on the waterworks and the drama to get Rod back in line and with the program. One friend wonders what happens if Rod decides to back out last minute. Gala is not about to let that happen.

At Chapultapec Park, Estella tells Matilde and Claudio about how her granddaughter has stopped crying herself to sleep, but still asks every night when her mother is coming back. Estella hasn’t yet heard from her daughter. Claudio and Matilde try to cheer her up. Claudio turns the conversation to Matilde, pointing out how many years it’s been since they’ve seen each other, and it’s Luciana who’s brought them together. Mati takes a bite of food, looks shifty eyed, and keeps mum.

Rod’s buddies are still trying to talk him off the ledge. With this attitude it may be Gala who dumps him! (Rod wishes he were so lucky.) Gala comes in just in time to hear her name and asks what’s up. The guys tell her that they think she just might dump Rod before the big day. Gala sets them straight. She would NEVER do something so low down dirty, so horrible to someone. (Ahem, Rod!) It looks like that pair of rocks Rod was just growing have shriveled back to pebbles.

Claudio tells Matilde that Luciana is an angel. The three talk about how Claudio met Luci in that awful place where that man tried to take advantage of her. Claudio thinks it’s an interesting twist of fate that it was Rodrigo Torreslanda who came to her aid in Club Inferno. Mati points out that Claudio helped her as well. Claudio can’t explain it. Luci just seemed so fragile and vulnerable, and something inexplicable drew him to want to protect her.  That’s why he’s so concerned about her being in Casa Torreslanda, since he fears the two Torreslanda boys are like their papa Max and could harm her. Mati sticks up for her niños—they’re good people. Claudio is glad to hear it, but in any case, Luciana is no longer alone.

Gala tells Gabriel and Marcos to butt out of her and Rod’s private life, and lays a possessive kiss on Rod. It looks like his pebbles have shrunk further. The other ladies come out of the kitchen with the snacks and lighten the mood. They talk about the pre-wedding party, which will be for family and friends in the Torreslanda house. Rod makes an escape with the boys to buy ice (I bet the freezer is FULL of ice). Maybe that’s what his cojones are made of, since they seem to melt so quickly and easily.

As the youngsters bump little cars (no, not in the way Beto and Connie used to in Gancho), the older folks continue to chat. Claudio thinks meeting Luci has been a catalyst for him confronting his past. He tells Mati and Estela how he ran into Rosalena at his wife’s gravesite, crying with much feeling.  “Matilde, you know what Rosalena meant in Aurora’s life. Had it not been for her, the time I was in prison would have been even more hellish for Aurora.” Matilde stuffs her mouth with more food, and continues to remain mum. He’s grateful that Rosa accompanied his wife in her final days, and he’ll be grateful to her his whole life. Matilde is saved from a longer trip down Memory Lane when the young people come back to the table to snack.

Rosalena questions Frigida about where everyone is. Seems they left, except for Pato who’s locked up in his room. Even Frigida asks permission to leave for a while. Rosa is surprised that Frigida has any friends to go see. LOL! Frigida confirms that she has no friends—friendship doesn’t exist, at least not for her.  Her grandfather always told her that friendship is like a flower that you water (regar) and care for, but she’s never wanted to care for it, nor waste the water.

Gala’s scolding Valentina (blond friend) about even suggesting that Luci might make an appearance at the wedding like she did at the anniversary party. Valentina thinks she was the prettiest girl there and quite lovely. Gala puts the blame on stupid, useless (inútil) Frigida. Speak of the devil. Julie calls Gala to give her the update on Frigida. Valentina is as aware of karma as we are, and tells Gala the things we do to others are like a boomerang—comes right back at ya. Gala is not pleased that her friends won’t get with her obsessively bitchy program. 

 Luciana and Lorenzo tell the group how they ran into each other at the Torreslanda party. Lorenzo brags about how beautiful she looked, and Luci stops Mati before she spills the beans about her bucket of mud mishap.

Aldo and Pato are in Pato’s room playing a tic-tac-toe video game. Pato is really making great progress, but he’s starting to get a bit of cabin fever (this is a good sign). Aldo offers to take him wherever he wants to go, whenever he wants, except for work hours since his uncle is treating him like a Roman slave.  Aldo starts talking about what a looker Don Jerónimo’s daughter is. He wants to befriend Don Jero so that he can get to know his daughter. Pato puts a stop to that line of thinking. His father would kill him for fraternizing with the employees, and especially not with the daughter of respected Don Jero.  (Oh, that’s rich!) Aldo says it was a joke (broma).

Oscar brings Connie home and gets a big goofy smile on his face when she invites him in for coffee.  They join Max and Rosa who are also having coffee. The men go off to have something stronger, and Connie and Rosa kvetch about how handsome Oscar is.

In the library, Max begins to confide in Oscar about Claudio Linares. He wants Oscar to review some documents related to Claudio for him. He’s worried because years ago Claudio swore revenge, saying that he was accused and imprisoned unjustly. Oscar asks if it’s true. Max gets defensive and says that’s every criminal’s excuse. Oscar looks skeptical.

Mati continues her “mis niños son muy buenos” campaign about the Torreslanda kids when Luci explains to Claudio how Pato and Hannah planned and helped her with everything so that she could attend the party in style. Marianita bumps into Don Aquiles near the popcorn stand. He makes such a fuss that Violeta’s ears perk up and she immediately knows who he is. He has moved out of sight by the time she gets around the other side of the stand, however.

Claudio, Lorenzo and the gang talk about how hard it is to find work in small towns and also in Mexico City. Violeta breaks the news to Luci that she just saw Don Aquiles. Luci begins to freak out. They all try to convince her that it must have been someone else.

Meanwhile, Don Aquiles is hugging a stuffed killer whale (LOL!), while getting the Het Het update from his flunky on a pay phone.   I wish they had shown him playing all those carnival games to win it. Actually, he probably stole it from the hands of some little kid. He thinks the big city is just weird—men dressed like women, and women dressed like men! He waves his stuffed friend around as he describes losing track of Lorenzo. He’s going to go home soon.

Rod and the boys talk business over dessert (that deal Max won’t agree to) and bore the girls to death. The door porter rings about someone being there to see Gala, and she gets all mysterious about it. Rod is suspicious.

Back at Estela’s, Mati refuses a ride home from Claudio. He leaves, and everyone else mentions what a good, kind man he is. Mati keeps mum. This time she has no snacks on hand.

Max continues to tell Oscar about what a resentful person Claudio is. As his lawyer and his friend, he wants Oscar to be on top of this. Oscar doesn’t think it’s worth the effort for Max to be drawn into something like this. Does Max really think that Claudio is going to risk his freedom to do him harm? “No hay enemigo pequeño.” (There are no enemies who are insignificant/All enemies are major enemies.) “Claudio Linares is my enemy.”

Claudio says goodbye to Polo and Lorenzo. He wants to talk to Lorenzo soon about Don Aquiles, and he especially wants to talk to him if he starts working for the Torreslandas.

Inside, Mati is ready to go, and Estela wonders why she didn’t take Claudio up on his offer if she’s leaving so soon. Luci is sure it has to do with the beef between Claudio and Max. Mati doesn’t want to look for trouble if she can avoid it, and she doesn't want to talk about it.

Julie has taken Frigida, who refused to be taken out for a meal (why pay for something that she can get for free at work?), for coffee. Frigida has her designer bribe purse clutched to her bosom. Gala’s pissed and Frigida needs to fix it. Frigid explains how she ruined Luci’s dress. It’s not her fault that she made herself pretty all over again. Julie says it’s a shame, because they could have filled that “nice” bag with bills, bills, bills. Frigida is determined to make it so.

Now we see Gala’s mysterious guests. It’s the fricking press! She’s called a hostile takeover press conference, forcing Rod to play the perfect, expectant groom to the whole world. (Nicely played Gala.) After the press and their friends have left, Rod’s ready to blow his top. He doesn’t like surprises.  Gala tries to kiss his anger away.

Hannah’s friend Lula has found out that her crush, Boris, has a crush on Hannah and she is ticked off. She bitches and whines, and blames Hannah. She thinks Hannah was trying to make a fool of her. Hannah swears that she’s not interested in him, and she’s going to tell him.

Aldo whines to his uncle about all the heavy lifting he’s had to do and that he needs an assistant. Max tells him to go to the gym and get in shape instead.  Aldo keeps trying. He has the perfect candidate—Luci’s brother. “Do you know what no means? I make the decisions here!”

Melissa’s wrapping up a visit with Pato who wants to know where Hannah’s been. Melissa and Aldo get him up to speed on Hannah’s love life complications. Max comes in and continues to scold Aldo, while Pato looks on with an amused smile. Later, Aldo continues to put more effort into getting out of work, than doing work. This time he’s whining to his mom, and pretending to have back problems. He thinks he should be doing more important work.  Connie’s not buying it. She tells him to get one of those mover’s back braces, take an aspirin, and get some rest. She goes to bed and turns the light off.

Lorenzo tells Polo about his boring, uneventful work at the funeral home. Polo doesn’t think the crap they have to put up with in the club is that great either—just ask his sister. Lorenzo is wide-eyed impactado.

Mati and Luci talk about Frigida and Gala being in cahoots to ruin her dress to keep her from the party. Luci finally tells Mati about Gala ruining her book and flushing her necklace.

Rod interrupts Frigida’s late night snacking to ask her to get Matilde. He wants to speak with her in the library. Mati tells Frigida that she’s in a tattling mood, and just might tell Rod what Frigid did to Luci the night of the party.  When Mati enters the library, Rod says he wants to talk to her. Well, Mati wants to talk to him too, and it’s about Luciana. What a coinkidink! That’s who Rod wants to talk about too. He’s crazy in love with her, but he’s getting married to Gala in 10 days. Mati begs him not to hurt Luci—she’s a good innocent girl who doesn’t deserve to be hurt. Rod swears he wouldn’t hurt her. “Perhaps not intentionally, but your girlfriend sure would.”

Frigida tries to convince Luci that SHE was the one who left the mud filled bucket in front of her own room. (Now how exactly would that work?)

Luci feeds Pato dinner and Hannah enters and tells them about her fight with Lula. Pato and Luci are sure that a friendship as old as theirs won’t end over this. Luci thanks Pato again for the surprise of the dress and Hannah and Melissa’s help. Pato wants to know why she was so late, and why she wore a different dress. Ruh, roh!

Lorenzo is not pleased to hear about Luci’s one night in El Inferno from Polo and Violeta. Lorenzo wants to make Lastra pay for harming his sister, despite Violeta and Polo telling him to stay clear of Lastra, who already paid with a few days in jail.

Meanwhile, Lastra is still plotting with Ivan to get Luci back in his clutches. He wants Ivan to offer Luci’s brother a job. In fact, he thinks he can get both Luci and her brother to work there. No one puts him in jail! Plus she humiliated him and scarred him. She deserves what’s coming to her.

Oh, now Mati is finally letting it all out. She tells Rod about all of Gala’s antics—the book and the necklace. “A jealous woman is a very dangerous woman.” Rod can’t believe his ears.

Gala is at work looking over the pictures from the party to put in the magazine. The problem is that all the photos are of Luci or Luci and Rod. She’s not a happy camper.

Lorenzo continues expressing his small town thinking to Polo. He thinks Violeta’s work at a place like El Inferno is shameful. It’s not the same for Polo because he’s a man. Polo (who is quickly becoming one of my favorites), tries to set him straight. Violeta is good, positive, and has a good heart.  Lorenzo admits this is true. She even accepted him into her home, after not having seen him for years. Polo loves Violeta. He is sure she’ll make a great mom someday. Lorenzo says he’ll be the godfather of their kid. Polo’s not so sure Violeta’s interested in him. Plus, he has nothing to offer her. Lorenzo advises him to get a move on before some other guy swoops in and snaps her up.

Luci and Hannah have just finished telling Pato the tale of the ruined dress. Pato wishes they had told him before, but Luci is so over it now. Luci leaves them alone to talk. Pato tells Hannah she can’t blame Boris for not falling in love with Lula, and instead falling for her. “You can’t give orders to the heart.”

Rod and Mati continue to talk. She’s not telling him this stuff to gossip. It was he who provoked all of this. Does he expect his fiancé to just accept him giving gifts to another woman? It was just a b-day gift, Rod says. “There are no good things that appear bad.” (No hay cosas buenas que parecen malas.) “Don’t play with Luci’s feelings! Don’t hurt her! If Gala did something like this, it’s your fault. You’re about to get married. Why are you sniffing around someone else?” After another plea to not hurt Luci, she leaves him to sulk.

One of the town gossip ladies has coming knocking on Paz and Magda’s door late at night to tell them the hot chisme. She helps herself to an elephant ear cookie, and tells them Don Aquiles left town. He’s surely in D.F. chasing after Luci. Paz is sure Lorenzo will keep her safe.

The next day, Golden couple Gala and Rod, looking mighty spiffy, appear on the cover of Caras magazine. Luci looks at the magazine and remembers her last round of hot kisses with Rod. As she returns to the house with the magazine and groceries, Rod drives out the gate and hops out of his car. She tries to ignore him, he wants to know why she never told him about the necklace, she doesn’t answer the question, he grabs the magazine and looks at it, then he demands that she get in the car, she refuses.

Mati’s still in a truth telling mood and tells Pato her theory about Frigida being the culprit behind the ruined dress. Later in the kitchen, Mati and Frigida trade insults. Frigida says if Mati tattles on her to the big bosses, she’ll just tell them who paid her. Mati says she’s no gossip (well, only when she wants to be). She’s no saint, but she has ethics. Anyway, when Rod goes after Gala for all the crap they pulled, Gala might just throw her under the bus.

Rosa’s guilt is now affecting her appetite. She tells Connie that the terrible thing she did is eating at her. Padre Honesto told her to be, well, honesta. She needs to confront her guilt head on, in order to be at peace with herself. The only way to do that is to tell Claudio Linares the truth. Rosa tells Connie about Claudio being out of jail and finding her crying at the tomb. Connie tries to make Rosa feel better and tells her to think before she acts. What she did with the baby is better than that child growing up knowing that her mother was dead and her father was a criminal.

Rod continues to behave like a caveman and forces Luci to get in his car and go with him, so that she can tell him the whole truth. (Dude, didn’t you just hear the whole truth from Mati?) He takes her to a park and she stalks off angrily. He demands to know why she didn’t tell him about what Gala did. She says it was her business.
R: These things shouldn’t be hidden. It’s abuse that should be reported, don’t you realize?
L: You know what I realize? That you are going to get married. And I don’t want to get myself mixed up in your plans. And there was no reason for me to do so.
R: You know quite well what I feel for you!
L: And you think that I’m happy in this situation?
R: No! This thing about me getting married…
L: You are getting married! And you’re going to get married and go live with HER! And I’m going to remain in your house, working!  And you know what? I want to do that in peace!
R: No one could be at peace in a situation like this. I can’t permit an injustice like this.
L: Injustice? What’s unjust is that you’re doing this to me when you’re about to get married. You know what? You’re girlfriend is right. She’s just defending what’s hers. I know my place very well.  I beg you to not approach me and tell me these things.
R: What are you saying? That you want nothing to do with me?
L: Exactly! And I don’t want any more problems, and especially not with your mother. I’m sure she’s going to ask where I am, and if she doesn’t find me she’s going to be really angry. So TAKE ME HOME!!!

Whew! We just found out who has the boulders and who has the pebbles between those two. Rod is totally whipped. He apologizes for causing her so much trouble. She begs him to understand that she needs this job. She doesn’t want to leave Pato, Hannah or Mati. And now her brother is here and she needs to send money to her mother. Rod seems to finally get it. Luci marches back to the car.

One of the gossip ladies gossips with Paz and Magda about Don Aquiles, who never goes anywhere, going to the big city, just when Lorenzo left. How curious…

Lorenzo is cool with Aldo not being able to give him a job. They shake on it as amigos. Don Jero comes up with Vicky on his arm and Aldo tries to flirt with her. Don Jero shoos him off to work. “Don’t even think about letting that kid chat you up. He’s a real disaster.” Don Jero explains that Aldo is Don Max’s nephew.

Claudio meets with Lastra’s lawyer about clearing his name. The other lawyer thinks it will be difficult. Oscar comes to see him. Oscar says Max is very generous and wants to come to an agreement, to avoid problems in the press. Claudio is not playing that game. Max may be rich and powerful, with a good reputation to protect, but he (Claudio) has nothing to lose. He shows Oscar to the door.

At breakfast, Lorenzo tells Violeta about winning all that money gambling. Violeta tells him about the gambling in the back rooms of Inferno. Lorenzo wants in. (DON’T DO IT!)

Hannah lets Boris down gently, while Lalu stalks them in the background. She listens as Boris begs Hannah for a chance, and then approaches them and agrees with Boris! She wants Hannah to give him a chance. She loves Hannah lots and will never stop being her friend. The three of them are cool with each other again.

Magda kicks Don Aquiles’ door down, roughs up Procopio, and makes him tell her where Don Aquiles is. Magda seems way too upset for this to just be about Luci.

Frigida is doing damage control with Pato and putting the blame on the chauffer for the misplaced bucket of goop. She then calls Gala and tells her the cat’s out of the designer bag. “Estúpida!”

Aldo’s telling the family at dinner about Lorenzo. Luci gets to listen in as Aldo says he’s sure Lorenzo will get a job at el Inferno. Luci nearly drops her platter.

Gala decides to make Rod forget all about the mischief she’s been up to by greeting him in her apartment with sexy lingerie and passionate kisses. Rod’s not in the mood to play. “We can’t go on like this.”

Padre Honesto comes for a house visit. Rosa speaks to him alone in the library and still refuses to tell Claudio the truth.
PH: Why? Do you think Aurora would have survived if you hadn’t failed her?
R: It’s not that. Aurora was going to die. There was no remedy for that. That’s why I was to take care of her daughter.
PH: And you didn’t take care of the little girl?
R: No. Not only did I not take care of her, I gave that little girl away.

Avances:  Mati realizes that Luci is Aurora and Claudio’s daughter. Gala cries about losing control of everything. She greets Rod wearing only a fur coat, and seems to be in total control of that situation. Rod admits his great love for Luci to Pato.

Refugio Para el Amor #21-22 Fri 6/8/12 The Lovelorn Can't Make Up Their Minds

 

Rod and Gala are talking in Rod's room after the Torreslandas party. She starts right in about Luci's "amante" crashing the party. Rod reminds Gala that Luci was at the party because of Pato and she has the right to a private life, even though he isn't happy about this at all. Gala accuses Luci of leading Rod around by the nose. Rod thinks she is lying about Luci.

Aldo has taken Lorenzo to Inferno to meet up with Violetta. Lorenzo says he can go, but Aldo wants to stay cause after all he took Lorenzo to his party, now he wants to go with Lorenzo. They cut in front of the line, and Aldo somehow manages to get them in.

The party is still going on at Torreslanda. Hanna is trying to set up her friend Boris with Lola her friend. Lola is really into Boris. Lola is going outside to wait for her Dad and Boris goes with her. Now Hanna and Melissa are line dancing and Hanna tells her she hopes everything goes well with Boris and Lola, and wasn't Luciana like a fairy princess tonight? They really like her and they think Rod was very taken with Luci tonight.

Gala is crying, oh, boo hoo for you! Rod tells her not to cry. Gala says you like that SERVANT more than me!!!! Boo Hoo! Gala claims that Luci is obsessed with Rod and she will not ALLOW that servant to steal her fiance. Rod also promised to take Gala home.

Now we have Luci in bed, but she isn't sleeping. She is thinking of Hot Bod Rod and that kiss! She is very conflicted about him.

Pato is in bed too, not sleeping thinking of Luci. He thinks about when she walked into the Torreslanda party and he is smiling.

Hanna is dancing with Boris now. He has come back into the party after making sure Lola's Dad picked her up. They start a slow dance. She tells Boris that her friend Lola is very in love with him. He says so sorry so sad but I'm in love with you Hanna. He wants her to be his novia. He tells her she doesn't have to answer now, she can just think about it. She tells him she thinks of him as a friend or a brother. He tells her to think about it.

Lorenzo and Aldo are now inside Inferno. Lorenzo wants to look for Violetta and asks Polo the bartender if she works there. He says yeah she does, and Violetta is almost behind Lorenzo. He is telling Polo he knows her from back home in the North. Polo tells him she is right there, Lorenzo turns around and at first Violetta doesn't recognize him, he tells her his name, Lorenzo Jacinto Flores, then she finally gets it and gives him a big ole hug. He can't beleive it is Violetta either in costume. She begs him not to tell her Mama Magda what kind of job she really has, and oh, by the way did she come with. He tells her no on both counts. He brings Violetta over to the table to meet Aldo who has another girl on his lap. Aldo introduces himself and says that he is Lorenzo's boss??? (Someone clarify, I could have sworn that is what he said to Violetta). Aldo Torreslanda. Well ole Lastra is sitting nearby and perks up his ears at the Torreslanda name. Lorenzo also asks if he can stay with Violetta and she says sure we are like family.

Max and Rosa are getting ready for bed, and he is happy the party was such a success. She asks why he is so preturbed about Vicky coming to the house. He says he doesn't want his employees to think they are friends. Snob. Anyhow, Rosa says something about Jeronimo's wife abandoning the family for a married man, and leaving Vicky and Jeronimo when she was a little girl. Max gives Rosa the stinkeye which she doesn't see. Rosa says poor girl and Max rolls his eyes which she doesn't see either.

We have a Hot Bod Rod sighting. He is alone in his room, no shirt on, looking out the window and thinking of everything Gala said to him. He is especially thinking of the "amante" part.

Rosa has gone back to see Padre Honesto. The guilt about Aurora and her daughter are eating at her. She tells Padre about Luciana coming to the party last night and how she looked like a queen. Padre reminds her that Luciana was only there for Pato. Rosa tells him she provokes her something fierce. Padre asks her if she is thinking of Aurora again. She says Max really liked Aurora and she is still thinking they were involved. He tells Rosa to talk to God and why didn't she talk to Claudio that day at the cemetary? She says she is a coward. He extends his hand to Rosa but she doesn't take it. Padre leaves and she cries.

Mati and Luci are in the kitchen. Luci is dressed in her native dress. She tells Mati that Lorenzo is coming by to pick her up and then her and her brother and her friends are going to Chapultepec Park. She wants Lorenzo to see it. In comes Frigid and right behind her Rod the Bod. Well Rod would like a word with Luci in the biblioteca (library) if you please. He leaves and Frigid gets on Luci's case and tells her to hurry the Master, oh um, Rod is waiting for her, hurry up. Luci goes and Mati gives Frigid the stinkeye. Frigid says she hopes Luci gets a reaming, but Mati tells Frigid that that can't be cause they were dancing last night and she looked like a princess! Frigid is all out of sorts, and Mati asks her sweetly if she would like a cafecita. Now Frigid is giving Mati the stinkeye.

Luci comes to the library and he tells her he always wants to know the class of person working in his house. Luci wants to know what the hey he means by that. He says he needs to protect the family and he is pithed. She starts to get up from her chair and leans toward him, almost in his face, and tells him well if you don't like me, I'll just go. He wants to know who that guy was that crashed the party last night, her lover, her husband, her boyfriend??? He wants to know and no lies now. She tells Rod the Bod that she came to the big city to find a decent job and all she could find was a maid's job. She is a decent girl and a hard worker. Her brother left the North and came to Mexico City too. That is the guy that crashed the party, Lorenzo Jacinto Flores, her brother! She gets up to leave and tells him Adios! He begs her to stay. He tells her Pato really needs her and to please forgive him. Then of course here come the smoochies. He keeps kissing her and apolgizes for that too. He just can't help it. She is kissing him back, but then pushes him away. He is getting married soon. He says everytime he is near her, he can't help kissing her. Luci tells him to stop, she just can't. He tells her she is so beautiful and he drags her back and holds her. She says she can't again. He says it is inevitable everytime he is near her. He wants to be with her. He tells her it is the truth, every word. She puts his hands off of her, and says she just can't. He is crying, she is crying. Mati comes in and says her brother Lorenzo is here; Luci goes.

Julie and Gala are working out at the gym. Julie is worried about how bad she looks, but says ah, it must be the late party last night. Gala is witching as usual about Luci. She is now blaming Frigid for everything that happened last night. If the Estupida has just done what she told her, Luci would have never made it to that party, doncha know. Gala is also mad cause Rod continues to live at home using the excuse of Pato's accident and that he wants to be near Pato. Julie thinks that's a stupid reason, cause all Pato does is lie there all day in bed. When does Rod spend time with him? Gala doesn't like Pato either. Julie suggests they get their own place, sooner rather than later. Then Gala would be calmer.

Frigid is listening at doors again, and sees Mati coming back, so she runs to the stove and is stirring a pot on the stove. The phone rings and Mati answers and says its for Frigid. Well Frigid has a funny look on her face cause it is, wait for it, Gala the horrible. Frigid gets on the phone and yeses and noes Senorita Gala. Mati is in the kitchen the whole time. Once Frigid gets off the phone, she leaves and Mati says to herself. Oh, so it WAS Frigid that caused all this mess with Luci. Gala is very bad.

Hanna is in Melissa's room and she wakes Melissa up. She tells Melissa what Boris told her last night and she just knows that Lola will be pithed when she finds out.

Luci goes to Pato's room and tells him that Lorenzo is here, staying with her friend Violetta and that Lorenzo is her bro. He tells her she can go. She says she will be back by tonight. He tells her he understands love, it makes the world go round.

Lorenzo is at the gate and Luci meets him there. He puts his arm around her and they start walking, when who should drive by in his sporty car, Anyone???? That's right, Mr Hot Bod Rod, who just had to check out Luci's bro and gives him the death ray before he continues on. Lorenzo tells Luci Mama Paz wrote a letter for her and she tells him they are going to Chapultepec Park.

And here we have the comedy of the episode, its Don Aquiles at the hotel. The desk clerk is talking to him thru the glass. He tells Don A there is a cheap place to eat down the street, I think a Chinese Place. Don A so doesn't like that, he thinks it is food for poor people, the clerk also mentions bread and milk too. The clerk says if you are looking for something better, go to Chapultepec Park, uh oh. He goes and drives his big SUV around and finds the park.

Rosa is confessing to Jesus on the Cross in Padre's office. Padre comes in and she tells him she wants to confess. He tells her to go tell Claudio she lied to him about Aurora and her daugther. Meanwhile, Claudio is back at the cemetary and has brought another beautiful bouquet of white roses to Aurora's grave. He is talking to her again, but no sound. Rosa is at the gate, sees Claudio and pauses as if she is going to go in. She changes her mind and leaves.

Oscar and Conny are out to brunch it seems. He is asking if he can ask her a personal question. He wants to know, as attractive as she is, why doesn't she have a boyfriend or lover? She says she has friends for the theater, shopping. She asks him the same. Why doesn't he have a young thing? He says he had a very demanding girlfriend and they have broken up. He tells her he wants something different. He tells her she is different. She smiles at him. (Note to Conny,what are you waiting for woman, snap that gorgeous man up , jus' sayin').

Luci and Lorenzo have come to Violetta's bringing food. Violetta is going to the park too, and says she'll be ready in five minutes, while she is eating. Lorenzo gives the letters he got from Mama Paz and Mama Magda to Luci and Violetta, and Luci goes downstairs to use Dona Estella's phone so she can call them in Het Het.

Jeronimo and Vicky are having breakfast and discussing Max and Rosa. Jeronimo says they are good people. Vicky says that Rosa comes to the salon she works at. The phone rings and Vicky answers. It is Max wanting to meet her at the park cafeteria for a talk. She tells her Papa it is a client and she has to go. She goes.

Luci is downstairs and Dona Estella and Marinita (Thanks Vivi) are there. Luci calls her Mama Paz and thanks her for the letter. Mama Paz tells her to look out for her brother Lorenzo. She promises she will. Ariche talks to Luci too. He wants to know when she is coming back. She doesn't know, they tell each other, they miss each other. Magda comes on the phone and wants to talk to Violetta. Luci says she isn't there, she is getting ready so they can go to Chipultapec Park. The phone goes back to Paz and she gives Luci her blessing. There is a loud knock on the door. It is a desperate girl that wants to be let in. Dona Estella lets her in. She tells Dona Estella her name is Serena and she is running from someone she owes rent to. She can't pay it, it seems.

Rod and Gala are together in an apartment ( I have to say here, I don't know which apartment, I don't know if its their new one, or his, I don't think it is hers). He is staying at the apartment from now on. She wants to know why now. Isn't he worried about Pato? Rod gets a call from his friends, Gabe and Marco, who are coming by later. Gala is all happy and leads her Hot Bod Rod to the bedroom so they can get, you know, en flagrante!

Max and Vicky are at that cafeteria at the park. He doesn't want her at his house again, it isn't decent he says (What???? You are an old dog, jus' sayin') She says she played it cool and Rosa never suspected a thing. She says he is right and she won't do it again and asks for his forgivness (Note to Vicky: You are NOT a doormat, don't let him treat you like one, just break it off with him already, He aint worth your time, jus' sayin'). But she says it is her job afterall. She wants to spend a little time with him. They go to get en flagrante.

Rosa is in Pato's room when Aldo comes in. He is complaining it is Sunday and he needs to rest up after all the work he did last night, Oh Please Aldo, really. He says he woooorrrkss ssoooo hard. Oh, please, Aldo needs help. He says Luci's brother Lorenzo helped him out last night. Well Rosa is so not happy with that. He needs permission for Lorenzo to come to the house. She leaves all pithed off. Pato thinks.

The whole gang of Luci's friends are ready to go to Chapultepec Park. There is Violetta and Polo, Dona Estella and Marinita, Serena , who is tagging along, Lorenzo, and they run into Claudio outside. He had come by to see Luci, she invites him to come too. And there is Mati who came to visit Dona Estella. Claudio calls to her, and asks if she remembers him. She has a sour look on her face, but she comes along too. They all get to the park and Luci is riding the carousel lost in thought. Dona Estella and Mati are at a table right by the carousel and Claudio sits with them and Claudio talks to Mati, she still has that sour look on her face.

El Talismán #93 Fri 6/8/12 DADDY LOVES ME–HE LOVES YOU NOT or OOPS DADDY’S BEEN SLEEPING AROUND (AND SO HAS MOMMY)

Recap by Anita

Your Intrepid Reporter feels some of lo de antes bears repeating.  Antonio and Camila are having an intimate breakfast in the kitchen with Tracy and Alberta in attendance (and all ears, of which Antonio is keenly aware).  The conversation is one sided.  The Ant says Camila must eat for the sake of *HIS* hijo.  He wants him to be born healthy and can’t wait to see him riding horses.  What about names, my darling, he tries engaging her in conversation.  Camila isn’t into playing his game, so he asks Tracy if she would like an hija or an hijo.  She sputters whatever God sends.  Antonio goes on and on about his future heir.  He’d like a boy since he already has two girls.  In the background Bertie is bug-eyed impactada.  And, he declares to all ears present, he wants her to get pregnant again just as soon as this baby is born.  Camila is seething.  The Ant continues, oh, and what about taking childbirth classes. 

He will not stop, so Camila excuses herself abruptly to go get some air.  Antonio follows her out to the porch.  She turns on him—why is he keeping up this farce. Well, my dear, he says, twirling his non-existent mustache, that’s what she agreed to—to act like a happy couple waiting for their first child—and someday she *will* come to love him.  Never.  She’ll always love Pedro.  Antonio wants to shut her up quick.  He doesn’t want to hear that name.  So, no more pretense; she has to behave as if it is real. 

Fortunately for a gagging Viewerville, the scene switches to Maria’s apartment where the cousins are having an early morning conversation.  Army congratulates Angel for getting half-way to first base with Flo before mama bear “catched” them.  Angel is cool with mama bear and apparently she is with him.

We next see Flo & Fab having a phone conversation (YIR seems to remember it was a very strict internado—no skyping or e-mails, but I guess phone calls before breakfast are ok).  Flo tells her sister all about her date with Angel and that Army sends bunches of kisses (poor thing still must not have her number).  They hang up and Flo admits to herself that she can’t stop thinking about Angel—he’s such an angel.  Bertie rushes in to interrupt her daydream with the *BIG* news.  Her Papa and Camila are expecting a baby.

Once over her initial shock, Flo just doesn’t believe it.  At 15 (or is it 16, 17, or 18 now), she knows the baby tale and can’t believe Camila could have gotten pregnant that fast.  Bertie looks at her in surprise.  Well, well, it’s like this…Flo stops her.  She’s talking about how it could be possible when Camila hasn’t been happy with The Prince of Swirling Darkness of the Giant Shiny Beltbuckle since day one and the two spend all their time fighting (and don’t even sleep in the same room, don’t forget).  Bertie comes back with, if it’s not his hijo, then how could the Ant be so happy about it.  Flo, exasperated, is running out of arguments, but she’s sure that baby is not her daddy’s. She reminds Bertie that Camila was with Pedro before she married the Ant.  It’s probably Pedro’s kid.  She’ll never accept that kid.  Flo is going to find a way to get out of there.  She wants to leave *right now* and go to Canada to join her sister.  Bertie says that if Camila wasn’t happy with Antonio, she’d be the first to get out of here—why hasn’t she left.  Could it be that Antonio did something to force Camila into marriage (oh, Bertie, you are so close).

Elviral has emerged from her lair at Maria’s to find Angel and Army in a happy mood.  She tries to crush it by announcing that Angel’s mother is getting married.  Angel is happy for her and so what.  Elvirus notes cattily that Maria told her she wasn’t including him in her plans.  She’s not telling him this to hurt him, btw, just telling the truth.  Elvira can’t go along with what Maria is doing—not thinking of her son first.  In fact, just wait, after they are married Maria will forget all about him.  Angel reflects on that for one NY minute.  He knows his mother very well, she wouldn’t do that, but he *is* sure that once they are married, his mom and Manuel are going to live at Manuel’s, leaving this apartment to him.  And the first thing he’s going to do is throw her out.  Elvira is stunned.  He says he’s tired of her interfering in everybody’s lives—look what she did to Army and Fab, then she successfully separated Pedro and Camila from achieving their happiness.  He’s not going to let Elvira ruin his mother’s and Manuel’s happiness.  She continues as if she hadn’t heard him, saying that Manuel isn’t worth a thing, especially for having gone out with two sisters at once.  (She doesn’t realize the big door she just opened; Angel doesn’t even need to ring the doorbell to go right in).  Does she mean the way she forced Armando to go out with both the Negrete sisters at the same time?  Keep it up and she’ll have to deal with him.  Angel storms out.  Armando is left with the lethal e-Virus.  He leaves, too, before she can infect him.

Maria arrives at her office to find a beautiful bouquet of red roses and a note to follow the arrow.  Talking to herself in true telenovela fashion, she finds a ring box on a side table, opens it and says, if he thinks she’s going to put this ring on her finger herself….Manuel, waiting at the door, finishes the sentence that no, he’s going to put the ring on her finger and he’s not going to take no for an answer.  Some sweet, mature, smoochies and hugs follow.  They are both deliriously happy and don’t want to wait another four hours to get married.  How about this afternoon, Manuel suggests.  Well, ok, says Maria, but first she wants to have Angel at her side.  Manuel gets a date with a judge.

Now, what any Talismaniacs remaining in Viewerville have been waiting for….the tender reunion between the prodigal daughter and her loving father.  Well, not quite, it’s more like the resuscitated daughter and the pithed off father.  Pedro and Lucrazylessnow are in the living room at El Alcatrash talking to Don Piggorio.  Doris is present and hovering over the Don.  Lulu is explaining that Antonio was behind the faked death and planned the whole thing in order to send Pedro to jail.  She was too frightened of him not to follow his orders, so she couldn’t let El Pigsty know she was alive.  Doris says they ought to leave because Gregorio isn’t feeling well.  Ignoring his rising blood pressure, the Don yells that no, he’s fine.  Just because he’s having a little trouble with his legs doesn’t mean he can’t defend what belongs to him.  He’s not going let anyone take away what is, Wait for It, MIO. 

Don G tells the re-living daughter that from now one she will stay at El Alcatrash, and cannot leave.  Pedro reminds them that Lucrecia still has to go to the police.  Lulumenoscrazy wants to talk to her daddy alone, so Pedro leaves.  Lucrazynotsomuch explains in a perfectly rational tone, that her happiness lies with Pedro.  Don G tells her she needs a psychiatrist if she thinks Pedro loves her, she’s obsessed.  Lulu retorts that maybe she’s crazy and maybe she’s not, but the one who really needs help is Don G because of his relationship with Doris.  Lucrecia tells her dad to stay out of her life.  El Piggorio pleads, can’t she see he’s up to something?  He married Camila por la Iglesia (#1).  What does she think he’s doing with her?

Out of doors, Camila is getting her 30 min. a day in the exercise yard.  Pedro sees her and approaches.  He desperately wants to know what it is that Antonio has on her to have pressured her into this ridiculous marriage.  She tells him to vete, he can’t be seen talking to her.  He needs to forget about her, go find his happiness elsewhere, like with Lucrazy.  How can he do that, Pedro indicates, when he’s married to her por la Iglesia (#2).  Camila says that can be taken care of by starting annulment proceedings (YIR wonders if Bishop Juan Cristobal will make an appearance). Camila tells him it’s over, acabado, finished and to leave her in paz. Pedro says he can’t.  If it’s over, why did she help him find Lucrecia.  He reminds her that while he was being held in the jail, she promised that she would always love him.  She admits to loving him, but they just cannot be together.  He pleads with her to tell him what made her marry Antonio; if he is to help her he needs to know.  Camila says she *can’t* tell him and to please leave her in paz.

Pedro goes back to El Tal, has a talk with Margarito about the same ole, same ole, but this time he’s convinced it’s Elvira that holds the key and surely she knows what forced Camila into that marriage.  He’s basically eliminated everyone else.  Money is the bait to get her to talk.  All he has to do is put the money IN and the words will come tumbling OUT, just like a vending machine.

At El Trashcan, Doris calls a press conference in the kitchen to let the assembled audience know that it turns out Lulu is alive and well (really?).  Ok. That’s it.  No questions.  No further comments.  She’s outta there—must get back to El Porkie.  He has retired to another room, obviously in distress, leaving Lulu stewing in her own juice.  Doris wants to call the doctor right away.  He says, no way.  It was merely the shock of seeing Lucrecia alive after all the tears he shed.  Although he’s happy to have her back, she obviously needs a specialist.

Don Gregorio begins to unload on Doris.  He begins to talk about his past obsession with Matilde, Don Bernardo’s wife.  He suffered terribly from this obsession, even going to the length of killing for it (woohoo says YIR, are we going to get a reveal next Friday at 2:45 pm—like he *did* kill his never-before-seen wifey to be free for Matilde).  Doris tries to calm him down, it’s not good for his health.  He can’t, he’s on a roll.  He tells Doris she need not worry; he likes her, but isn’t obsessed with her.  She’s only good for sex.  She’ll never wake the passion in him that he had for Matilde (is Viewerville supposed to feel sorry for him that he was unlucky in love).  Doris is hurt; he has no right to insult her the way he just did.  Don G says he didn’t mean to offend her, but that’s the way it is.  He moans that it’s terrible to love someone and not have them love you in return.  He’s empty inside.

The Don’s convinced that Lucrecia has inherited this obsessive trait and it’s manifesting itself in her ridiculous attachment to Pedro.  Antonio managed to avoid the trait.  He notes that the Antonio-Camila coupling is not the same (you could a fooled me, YIR thought it *was* obsession), although he has no idea how the Ant got her to marry him.  Maybe, says Doris, it’s because, Wait for It, HE’S NOT YOUR SON.  El Piggorio nearly has a fatal infarto then and there.  Doris tells him she has always known that little nugget of information.  She reminds him of the friendship between her mother and Don G’s wife and she overheard the words spoken right by his wife.  Don G tries to deny it, but Doris claims he knew all along, too, but didn’t tell because of the shame knowing he had a wife who was not just unfaithful, but produced a child as well (YIR says woohoo, is this going to be another reveal—who is Antonio’s bio-dad and do we care?).

Doris leaves him.  Don Gregorio is sitting there mulling over what has just happened.  He’s furious and throws a glass at the door and it shatters.  He comes to the conclusion that he only has one child, his daughter.  Panchito comes running and wants to know what is troubling him.  Don Gregorio takes a second look at Panchito—well, valgame Dios, he does have a son, even if he is the son of a servant.  He tells Joven Pancho (out of respect for his new status, YIR will now start calling him Joven Pancho) to keep an eye on Antonio and if he leaves, quick send for the notary, because he wants to change the terms of his last will and testament.

Meanwhile, in another part of the house, Antonio walks in to see his lov.. er, sister talking to herself.  He freaks out and lights into her.  She tells him, in quite a normal tone of voice, that it’s all out in the open and Daddy knows all about his complicity.  She’s sure Daddy cares about her and she is important to him.  He tries to get her to wake up, Don G never cared for her, either one of them for that matter.  How is it that she can believe him now when she never believed him before.  Lu is so mad she threatens to take back the management of her part of El Trashcan that she signed over to him.  Antonio says she’d better not.  She looks squarely into the face of that shaggy overgrown facial hair of a glowering smirker that she’s not afraid of him anymore.  She’s not alone any more, Pedro will defend her.  So there, take that, bro (and I’ll see you behind the caterer’s trailer after the scene is done).

Sometime earlier, Elvira, having struck out borrowing money from Maria to pay off Rennie’s apartment, decides that Antonio will lend her the money and she’s going to go see him right now.  (Oh, YIR remembers that Elvira is on the phone with Camila, just as the local metropolitan area emergency weather announcement interrupts and cuts off any further conversation.  Just as well.  We know what Antonio will say and we’re much more interested in the outcome of Pedro’s tantalizing offer.)

In the spacious, country kitchen at El Trasholacan, Bertie and Tracy have their noses glued to the window watching the Pedro-Camila encounter out in the side yard.  Bertie wants Tracy to go out and separate them before Antonio sees them.  When Tracy won’t because she wants them to have a chance to talk, Bertie begins pestering her again to tell her what’s going on.  Tracy is just about to spill the beans when they are interrupted - again, this time by Flo.  She’s convinced everybody in this house is crazy; everybody is fighting all the time.

Antonio, roaming around the house, runs into Florencia still in the kitchen and announces his pride of fathership, yep, after all these years, it’s happening again.  She’s going to get a baby brother.  Flo announces she’s leaving to join Fabiola and may the three of them be happy together.  Nah-ah, ain’t happening that way, clues in the Ant.  When this baby is born, Fabiola is coming back and all five of them will be here, togetha.  Flo comes right out and asks how does daddy dearest know this one is his.  Flo obviously has his number.  (YIR didn’t see that one coming.  Score points for Flo.)

Camila returns to the house and is surprised to see Lulubell.  She reminds Camila that she is her cuñadita now and she’s not taking any guff from her.  She’s pithed because she’s convinced Camila told Pedro that she was alive and where to find her.  Camila denies it.  Well, that had better be the truth she says; Camila is married to the Ant now (dang YIR knows she wants Aaron more than she wants Rafael), so leave Pedro the h*ll alone.

Doris has made a quick trip to Brigitte’s House of Masked Pleasures.  They are confabing in the office.  Brigitte is incredulous that Doris went and told the Pigsty that she knew about Antonio’s doubtful parentage (man, YIR can’t wait to see Antonio’s face when he finds out—he might even be happy, but not about losing his inheritance).  Doris is aware that it was a no-no and will interfere with her future plans, but she could not bear Don Gregorio’s stinging words that he only wants her for sex, but never as a wife.

Back with Maria, she’s rounding up the wedding party.  Maria calls Angel and gives him the happy news.  He’s surprised by the haste, but wishes them well and of course he’ll meet them in the judges chambers later this afternoon.   Once Angel says yes, she wants to make sure Armando and Camila will come.  He’ll take care of Armando and Maria will call Camila.  First Angel calls Flo and asks her to go to his mother’s wedding with him.  Yep, a little hasty, but really, it’s not a shotgun wedding.  Flo swoons, of course she wants to be with him.  She’ll meet him there because she’ll go with Camila and Antonio.  Then she accidentally reveals the news of Camila’s pregnancy.  Que? says Angel.  When Maria calls El Alca for Camila, Antonio answers.  He’s emotionally cold, but promises to be there with Camila.  After hanging up, his true intentions are clear—he wants to go so he can tell everyone he and Camila are expecting *MI* hijo.

Pedro has called the office of El Capitan and wants to come in.  He’ll be right there.  He shows up at the precinct with Lulubelle.  She is sounding so perfectly rational and reasonable, viewerville is astonished.  She fills in El Capo with all the information she’s willing to share.  El Capo thinks it’s hard to believe that Lu merely walked out of the cabaña just before the conflagration.  Why didn’t she come forward right away.  Her answer is that with everything she had gone through, wouldn’t it be understandable that she was committed for a time.  She assumed there would be an investigation and she was mad at Pedro; they had argued, just like any other couple.  El Capo stops her.  Wait, wasn’t the “couple” really Pedro and Camila?  The Capitan reminds her that Pedro was actually married to Camila por la Iglesia (#3) at the time.  El Capo thanks them and tells Lulu that she can’t leave the area without permission, while they continue their investigation.  When they are ready to go, Pedro excuses himself and tells Lulu that he has something to do before going home.  He tells her Margarito will come for her and no, she cannot go with him.

The wedding party has arrived at the judges chambers.  The invited guests are dressed up and waiting for the ceremony to begin.  Manuel approaches Camila and in a lowered voice takes her aside.  He wants to know if she knows anything to inculpate the Negretes in Mariana’s death.  Camila’s eyes open wide, but denies knowing anything.  Manuel wants to know if she is prepared to let the killer or killers get away with  murder.

Lastly, Pedro shows up at Maria’s apartment, where Elvira has been sitting kvetching about how could her sister do this to her.  He opens up his briefcase and….it’s manna from heaven.  Elvira has never seen so much dinero—not in her wildest dreams.  This probably isn’t as much as MI CHEQUE, but it’ll do in a pinch.  Pedro makes it simple:  tell him what made Camila marry Antonio and the money is hers, all of it, no strings attached.  Elviral hunts the recesses of her mind for the answer to her dreams.  Elvira makes it simple: Camila is with Antonio because she loves him, now, give her the money, it’s, Wait for It, MIO.  Not so fast, sister, Pedro says she has to tell her the truth.  Elvira insists that’s the reason, so now the money is MIO.  Pedro reminds her that she and he both know Camila on her own would never have married Antonio.

AVANCES—Unbelievably and happily, there are no avances, only finales.  Next Friday, June 15, is the big 2-hour unraveling (there is no wrapping up in this tn).

Amorcito Corazón Discussion #4-8 June 4-8

Please forgive me everyone. I got way behind this week and I sped through the chapters, so I may have missed everything a few things.


Main Events:
  • Marisol goes to find her destiny (Juancho) while her destiny goes to the DF to find his destiny (Marisol.) Marisol sees Juancho getting on a bus and after coming home is convinced her amor is  in the DF. Juancho arranges for a radio station to help him look for his media naranja. No one listens to the radio except Juancho.
  • Fernando tells Isa that Poncho was bragging about taking her virginity. Isa never wants to see Poncho again.
  • Isa and Fernando's hijas become buddies.
  • Hortensia accuses Isa and Fernando of being lovers and later gets Isa fired. Too bad Isa thinks it's Fernando's fault. Isa plans to get work in her carrera: Architecture.
  • Willy finds out Lucía is a monja and wants to win her over (I guess he loves a challenge.) He has lots of scenes and I understand 5% of what he says. There's the schtick in the priest's robe and then some rather kinky shenanigans with Lucías stolen habit. ¿Hay alguien que me puede ayudar?
  • Doris, a former fling of Fernando's arrives in the DF...much to Fernando's dismay. She teams up with Poncho to make trouble for Isa. 
Other Events:
  • Beba and Hortensia look for Willy and get robbed.
  • Cecilio has it bad for Zoe.
  • Álvaro and Zoe are getting divorced. I think Zoe's divorce lawyer is a creep. Does Álvaro get everything because of the prenup?
  • Isa's dad pays the bill for mom's home. Dad's girlfriend is a beech. Isa's mom has a relapse. Dad and mom are not officially divorced.
  • Zoe wants to work.
  • Hortensia starts classes with Willy tomorrow (you know, just to protect her friend.)
Everyone is related:
  • Lucía is Fernando's sis.
  • Willy is Bárbara's brother and they are both Juancho's cousin. Willy and Bárbara's mom, Lala, is giving sewing lessons at the church.
  • Juancho is Marisol's "amor."

  • Hortensia is Fernando's suegra.
  • Isa is Marisol's teacher.
  • Beba is very involved with the folks at the school and can arrange a meeting between the principal and Hortensia.
  • Did I miss anything?
A joke I get:
Isa's last name is Cordero (Lamb) and Fernando's last name is Lobo (Wolf.)

A joke I didn't get:
novata/novicia: I assume a play on novata (as in innocent/green/inexperienced) and novicia (novitiate)

Weekend Discussion: Men In Uniform

I'm going to ask for some help here as there aren't a lot of novelas whose heroes (or villains) are military officers, cops, or other men who wear uniforms.  If anyone can think of any beyond this list, please assist with a link!  This entry will be considerably shorter than last week's, so there will be multiple photos of those gentleman who wear uniforms well.  Starting with.....

El Mundo de Telemundo, Week of June 11, 2012: Discuss Amongst Yourselves

Hi guys! I'm hoping something in the next line-up of shows catches my interest. I really miss your conversation. I tried Ojo por ojo on Mun2 but found it a huge turn-off. Now, as you've noticed, Telemundo has been running teasers for Rosa Diamante. That's one I'd like to take a look at (if they ever air it!). The actor Mauricio Ochmann is getting star billing and I like him a lot. I notice that Sofia Stamatiades (Hilda in La casa de al lado)is in the cast as well. The story must have something compelling, given the number of remakes: Perla Negra aired in Argentina during 1994 and 1995; and in 1998 there appeared both a Mexican version, Perla, and a Brazilian version, Pérola Negra.

Here's your page. Enjoy!
