El Talismán #96 Wed 6/13/12 The Pig Is Roasted, Toasted and Crisp But LuLu Has Found The Way
Well My Friend.....As one approaches the end, one begins to see life as it truly is. M. Hercule Poirot
I've rewritten a little ditty for you to sing while reading this recap. It is sung to the tune of "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" from Evita. (Kind of imitating EJ over there at Abismo).
Don't cry for me El Talisman
The truth is Caray Caray never really left you
All through the mad days
We were not left unfazed
We kept our promise
To recap this *hot mess*.
Now on to the recap.
Pedro, Lucrazy, the Beltbuckle and Cameela are in the living room talking about Cameela's baby. The Beltbuckle is insisting he is happy about the baby, and Cameela says she wants a girl, named Mariana. Pedro seems to get the name right away. The Beltbuckle is so not happy with this name. He says she died, and Pedro says not only died, but murdered.
Jamie the "doc" is in alone with the Pig who is now sequestered in his bed, unable to move or speak, he can blink his eyes but that is about it. Jaime is saying, you are now truly incapacitated. The Pig is thinking maybe Doris or Valentin will figure out what Jaime did to him and help him. Jaime must be good at reading thoughts, cause he tells the Pig, noone will figure this out, so noone will be able to help you.
Lucas and Doris are having an after en flagrante little convo and Doris wants to know exactly what Lucas was hired by the Beltbuckle to do. Well since Lucas in the afterglow of the en flagrante tells Doris that the med the "doc" is giving the Pig is meant only to incapacitate the Pig, but not to kill him. He says he will marry Doris and the Pig so she can attain her very grand ambition of becoming the Duena of Altrash.
The Beltbuckle, who for some strange reason, is looking fine today, gone is the scruffiness of his habille, is telling his company that his wife Cameela is very happy with him. She is trying not to roll her eyes, and is uncomforable having his arm around her. Valentin comes in and tells the Beltbuckle the workers are talking and want to know about the Pig. The Beltbuckle's company is looking at him enquiringly and he tells them, oh, didn't I tell you? The Pig had a stroke.
Army and Angel are having a meeting in the kitchen, of their apt, and Army is worried that the Virus is going to cause problems, now that she has hit the street. Angel says we can't do anything else for her. Let it be.
The Beltbuckle tells his assembled company that "doc" is with the Pig as we speak, monitoring him. Lucrazy is suspicious and asks to speak to the Beltbuckle alone. She pulls him into the hallway, which leaves are unhappy couple Cameela and Pedro, quite alone. The first thing Lucrazy asks the Beltbuckle if he is doing something, like maybe killing Papa Pig? Lucrazy says you did all this just to get Altrash.
The workers of Altrash have assembled, Panchito, Tracy, Alberta and Val are all talking about what has happened to the Lord and Master of Altrash. Panchito is the only one that is truly concerned. Val tells them, noone can get in to see the Pig, per the orders of the new Patron, The Beltbuckle. Panchito is truly upset and wants the truth. Valentin tells them he is under orders not to speak.
Sarita and Gabe are having another meeting about are you marrying me, yes or no. Sarita is not looking like her usual perky self. She looks like she hasn't slept in days. She wants to know, if by bugging him constantly about getting married, if that is why he suddenly wants to marry her? (No actually it was that little belly dance that did it, but he isn't telling her that). He tells her now he wants to marry her, truly, and it isn't an obligation. She wants to know seriously? He says yes, seriously, (and now the annoying peacocks are screaming for all they are worth) he loves her forever. Many kisses.
Lucas has gone, and Doris is back talking to Brigette. Doris tells Brigette about what the Beltbuckle's plans are regarding the Pig and incapacitating him. She tells Brigette that Lucas will marry her and Don Pig so she can be the Duena of Altrash. Brigette tells Doris not to trust Lucas, he is very bad and he makes Doris nervous. Doris says that the Beltbuckle will not deter her from her ultimate misson. (Note to Doris: Too late honey, should have stayed at Altrash and protected your investment, jus' sayin'). Doris leaves and Lucy comes in and says she heard the whole thing.
"Doc" Jaime still in Pig sty , gets a call from Lucas. Lucas wants to know if the Pig is able to sign any papers. Jaime tells Lucas not to worry. While the "doc" is on the phone, the Pig is thinking to himself, maybe Doris or Val will get wise and save him.
Now that Pedro and Cameela, the unhappy couple, are alone, Pedro keeping his voice to a low hiss, wants to know if this baby is in fact, his baby. Cameela says yes, mi amor, the bebe is yours. Pedro grins his first big grin since Cameela left him. He is over the moon. Cameela raises her voice, to a normal tone, and asks Pedro if he wants coffee, he says no, also in a normal voice. They are trying not to get caught doing the low hiss. Cameela warns Pedro that they can't be caught hissing their little intimaticies, cause the Beltbuckle will suspect, so they kept up the inane convo. The Beltbuckle and Lucrazy come back into the room, and Cameela is on one side and Pedro on the other. Noone would ever know they have been low hissing each other. Doris comes into the room also,and wants to know what is going on here? The Beltbuckle informs her the Pig had a stroke. Doris wants to see him, like yesterday. Lucrazy or someone wants to know if it bothers The Beltbuckle that his ex wife is with his Papa Pig. They don't think it is the right thing to be done. Cameela asks after Sarita and Gabe. Lucrazy tells her they are indeed getting married, and soon her and Pedro will do the same, si mi amor? The Beltbuckle tells Pedro and Lucrazy that Altrash is in a bad way right now and something about tomorrow. Someone please fill in.
Doris goes into the Pig's sty and Jaime tells her the Pig is truly incapacitated, cannot move or speak. Doris wants him to go to the hospital, but Jaime argues with her and says it won't help him. He is truly done and stick a fork in him, he is truly roasted, toasted and crisp. I think Jaime tells her the decision for the Pig's treatment rests with the Beltbuckle. Doris tells Jaime to go. She will stay with Don Pig. Don Pig is giving her the stinkeye. He can express with his eyes and mind, but that's it. After Jaime leaves, Doris says you are marrying me, come hell or high water. She reminds Don Pig that they discussed getting married. The Pig, you are not going to beleive this, truly after Monday's recap, I can't beleive they did this to me again, but the Pig is, are you ready, ya sure, wait for it, PRAYING!!!!! I swear. He asks Dios to Ayudi Mi. Really not kidding. Now he decides to pray. Should have gone to Padre and confessed. Doris is telling him then she will be the Duena of Altrash. The Pig is thinking Maldita of Doris, The Beltbuckle is a disgraciato. Doris is saying we are so getting married. The Pig is saying to himself I'll kill you and I will have my revenge on everyone that did this to me. Lucrazy turns to Doris and asks what she is doing here. She says she is helping the Pig to look after him. Lucrazy wants alone time with her Papa Pig.
Panchito has cornered Jaime and is asking after Papa Pig. He wants to know what is being done and the condition of his Papa Pig. Jaime tells Panchito his Papa Pig had a stroke and is now incapacitated and there will be no reversal of his condition. For as long as he lives, this will be forever. Panchito is very upset. Jaime tells Panchito, his Papa Pig needs lots of rest.
Army and Angel have gone out to the Only Ice Cream Shop in Fresno and they meet up with Flor and her friend. Flo gives Army her laptop so he can contact Fabi. Angel is hinting around that he wants some alone time with Flor, so her friend leaves and they giggle at each other.
Lucrazy wants to go in to see her Papa Pig, and The Beltbuckle takes her off to the side and warns her again not to say anything. She goes to see Papa Pig and Pedro, Cameela and the Beltbuckle are now alone. The Beltbuckle wants Pedro to go, but Pedro says he will wait for Lucrazy. All of a sudden the Virus has shown up at Altrash. She comes into the room and the Beltbuckle wants to know what she is doing here? He hustles Cameela out of the room and puts her in her room. While the Beltbuckle is hustling Cameela to her room, the Virus is asking Pedro what the heck he is doing at Altrash. He lights into the Virus and tells her, it is her fault Cameela is stuck in a marriage she loathes with the Beltbuckle. She tells Pedro she would have ended up in jail, if Cameela hadn't done that, so the solution was to marry the Beltbuckle. Meanwhile the Beltbuckle is telling Cameela to stay in her room, not to come out and be exposed to the Virus. He doesn't want that indio to have any inkling the bebe is his. The Beltbuckle tells her this bastardo bebe is mine, all mine. Cameela is disgusted. Meanwhile, back in living room Pedro is telling the Virus and oh, by the way stop this fiasco, enough is enough already. He tells the Virus that Cameela is pregnant with his bebe. The Virus says, oh now I'm a grandma? Back in Cameela's bedroom, Cameela is telling the Beltbuckle to see after his Papa Pig. It isn't good just to have Doris looking after him. She tells the Beltbuckle that his Papa Pig needs more help than this "doc" is giving him and something about a year from now. And something else I didn't get, please fill in. Meanwhile back to Pedro and the Virus, she is happy to be a grandma, but Pedro warns her, that Cameela's pregnancy will be bad at Altrash. The Virus isn't fazed. This baby will be a Negrete (she is so clueless, the name has no prestige anymore and they do have money, but by the time the Beltbuckle leeches it out, there won't be anymore). They are interruped by the Beltbuckle coming back into the living room. The Beltbuckle wants to know what she is really doing at Altrash. The Virus says she came to talk to the Beltbuckle and gives him congrats on the bebe. He asks her what she *really* wants. Pedro excuses himself from this convo and goes outside. The Virus says she came to Altrash for, wait for it, not Mi Cheque, but Mi Dinero!!!!!
Lucrazy is now with Papa Pig. She approaches the bed and tells him she is sorry he is this way. She truly looks concerned. Doris is in there too. Lucrazy tells her Papa Pig he needs to get better. He is following her with his eyes. He thinks to himself he doesn't want to be this way, but maybe his daughter can help him. Noone else is attempting to help him, and everyone is an imbecile. Now Lucrazy is doing something really smart and I have to say, I didn't think she would ever do, but she tells the Pig to close his eyes if he understands her. And I think once for yes, twice for no, which he does. Now he can communicate. Doris can't beleive Lucrazy has figured this out. There was something about not permitting him to I think, please fill in. The Pig is saying to himself maldito again, and everyone there (Lucrazy and Doris) know the Beltbuckle is responsible for his condition. The Pig is thinking, no hija this guy is not my son. Doris says does Lucrazy think she is protecting the Beltbuckle? Lucrazy says she'll come back to talk to the Papa Pig again, Lucrazy leaves and Doris tells the Pig she isn't going anywhere.
Pedro is now in Val's office on a mission of his own, now that everyone at Altrash is busy, he can snoop around looking for proof of the blackmail that the Beltbuckle used against the Virus. Pedro is pulling out doors, looking in the desk, just everywhere. He sees the locked credenza but can't open it. He hears a noise and hides and it is Val and some guy. Val is showing this guy a gun and telling him what a sweet little pistola it is. They finally go, and Pedro comes out of hiding to continue his mission. He is searching some more and finds his gun, the one Val stole. Pedro wondering how his pistola wound up at Altrash. Now he wants to shoot open that cabinet. Pedro aims at the cabinet, but doesn't shoot it. He can't; he is thinking of Cami and the bebe and is afraid of what would happen if he does it.
The Virus and the Beltbuckle are now alone, continuing their convo. The Virus tells him she needs money and the Beltbuckle tells her that's her problemo. The Virus really needs the Beltbuckle to help her. She tells him he got his ultimate prize, Cameela of course, and this would be a big FAVOR for her, oh please, where is the sleepytime tea???? He tells her he'll give her money, but he isn't supporting her, evva and to leave him in paz. He also tells the Virus he doesn't want her anywhere near Cameela. Meanwhile, Cameela is in her room, praying to the Virgincita to ayudi mi. The Beltbuckle and the Virus are continuing their little convo and she tells the Beltbuckle she wants her own house, can't live with her son, his cousin or her sister. He tells her he will give her the money and wants her to leave he and Cameela in paz. He tells her this is the end of the gravy train, no more dinero. He tells her the Pig had a stroke and is completely incapacitated. She gets a sh*t eating grin on her face about that and is most amused. She thanks the Beltbuckle for the money. Lucrazy comes in the living room and the Virus tells her she is glad to be a grandma. Lucrazy is snippy with the Virus about Cameela, but the Virus tells her, she has to respect Cami now that she is married to the Beltbuckle. She also tells Lucrazy, hey now that Cami is married to that Beltbuckle of a brother of yours, the path is clear for you to marry Pedro es Mio. Lucrazy goes.
The Virus goes into the Pig Sty and sees the Pig all trussed up in his sty, all folorn looking. She mocks the Pig. She tells him Poor little you. She tells him you are nothing now.
There is a shot heard at Altrash. Cameela in her bedroom is worried about Pedro. She says oh Dios Mio and runs out of her room. It wasn't Pedro shooting his gun at the credenza, it was Val shooting that gun for his pal. The Beltbuckle comes out to see what is going on. Meanwhile Doris runs into Cami and they are wondering about that shot. Lucrazy has come out too, looking for Pedro. Pedro, meanwhile takes a quick look around the office and says Manana I will be back to find the proof.
Cameela and Doris go outside and Cameela says she was looking for the Beltbuckle to find out why there was a gunshot. Doris tells the Beltbuckle to knock it off his Papa Pig needs rest and calm, not gunshots. He tells them Val was testing a gun. Cameela wants the Beltbuckle to come back in the house. The Beltbuckle tells Cameela to get used to the guns. They all carry them at Altrash, see he even has one, and the bebe will be learning to shoot one too. Cameela is so not happy with that. The Beltbuckle stays and Cameela goes. She goes to the office and finds Pedro. She wants to know what he is doing there. He says there is so much keeping them apart, through no fault of their own, and that they love each other and nothing ever, ever will seperate them. Many passionate kisses.

Abismo de pasión #65 6/12/12: King of the Toads
Episode 65 - King of the Toads
June 12, 2012
Prologue
Date: Nine months earlier.
Location: Ciudad de Mexico
Deep in the bowels of the mysterious Televisa offices in D.F., a lonely and lowly scribe toils. He is not old, but his posture might make you think he is. He is hunched over an ancient desktop computer in a windowless basement room. The huge machine, running Microsoft Office 2004, lurches through yet another spell check. It’s running, running, running. His rheumy eyes roll heavenward as he spots the time—it’s 3:30 AM. He watches the little hourglass on the machine. It’s running, running, running.
The scriptwriter looks desperate as he falls to his knees beside the computer. “Virgencita, I swear, if you will keep this machine from crashing, I promise, I swear, I will stop using the ‘Elisa cries’ device.”
Tears fall down his face. He is ashamed. He knows he can do better. He cries, “But dear Lady Maria, What was I to do? They brought me a perfectly good script to refry, I admit it. I was so relieved! Our consumer research said the show was a popular favorite from the 90’s (we were able to find on-line comments from that bell-weather genius, Jarocha, from Veracruz, indicating that the original telenovela had been one of her favorites).
Then the MARKETING guys came down from the 19th floor. They said that updating the old script was all fine and good for us creative types but we needed to stretch the material by 20%—with no additional budget for extra writers to take up the slack! So, I spent a little more time on the La Anita business as product placement and if the camera lingered a little too long on the procesadora, the habaneros, the cenote, and the local scenery, well, I won’t apologize for that. Those things eat up screen time and we don’t have to pay them union scale.
“But then,” and the scriptwriter’s voice catches in a sob, then Carmina threw a crutch at my continuity person and now she’s out for a month, Gabino menaced one of the young writers and he filed a sexual harassment lawsuit (he wishes!!!) and my faithful co-writer up and got herself knocked up and is on MATERNITY leave? I’ll bet Caridad Bravo Adams never had to deal with this stuff back in the day! Who ever heard of such a thing?”
The Virgin, for her part, remains silent. “Madrecita, por favor, have pity on this weak man. I confess, here is how it came down. I was up on the set watching Angelique, and she had to redo a take three times. This is very unlike her, I must say, that woman is as ambitious as hell and a TOTAL professional, but CAN SHE CRY. She can cry while she’s telling a joke, cry while she’s pulling on her boots or cry while she’s having an in-between-scenes smoke.
I couldn’t help it, Santa Maria, the temptation was too great. My mind began to do the math. Let’s see, I have to write for 42 minutes of screen time, but if I add in an ‘Elisa crying scene’, say two-minutes, OK, three minutes, once, no twice a script. Whew, Mother Maria. I could just feel myself relax. Lady, that meant writing only 36 minutes of dialogue a day! After I added in a few more shots of Sergio lounging about shirtless and depressed (he’s always up for that), Alfonsina badmouthing Elisa (easy as pie—cut and paste) I was down to 30 minutes a day.
Holy Mother, I knew there were some risks. Those pesky fans on Caray Caray are always agitating for action and plot movement or romance. Good grief. They also have a problem with stupidity and idiot heroines. I could tell them, if they would listen, Elisa isn’t stupid, she is just being written that way.
I know, Lady Mother that these last few weeks’ episodes will have pushed them too far. But if you will just let this computer not crash…I’ll try to clean up my act. I swear…”
The computer rumbles and whirls as if a baby bird is caught inside. The young writer’s rosary beads click at a furious pace as he continues to implore the Virgen of Guadalupe for her help. Finally with a soft garumphh the computer screen changes, the small hourglass icon disappears, and a note pops up, indicating that the spell check is complete.
Immediately, the exhausted writer falls to his knees and sketches a quick sign of the cross, while placing his rosary back ‘round his neck and kissing the crucifix. Having said his thanks, he is already sending the script file to the printing room upstairs to be printed and bound.
He glances at the clock as he gathers up his things to go home. It’s 3:55 A.M. Perhaps he will remember his promises as he writes future episodes of Abismo de Pasion. Perhaps he won’t.
Today’s Recap
This Very Day In La Ermita, Yucatan
Don Augusto Castañon opens the door to ING who reintroduces herself as Ingrid Navarro, the mother of Gael—and Kenia. Augusto starts out with a bang, reminding her about of parenting skills, asking why, for example, she abandoned her child Gael with Lupe. But Ingrid fires back with the big guns—Kenia is a minor and he is much older than she is. If ‘Gusto doesn’t leave Kenia alone she will contact the authorities.
It’s a Bitch Being Under Age and Having a Bad Useless Mommy
Ingrid makes the quick trip to from Casa Castañon to Kenia’s. Right away she notices the beautifully set table, the flowers, she smells the cooking. Ingrid tells Kenia that she knows she is preparing for an evening with the Viejo Augusto.
Kenia complains bitterly to her horror of a mother for interfering in her life. Sadly, here, for just this once, Ingrid has the right side of it. Ingrid, quite correctly says that Kenia is a minor and if Augusto continues bothering her daughter she will denounce him (to the police). Boy is that a mixed bag of ironies. Do they have an emancipated minor status in Mexico? Won’t Kenia be 18 sometime soon?
It’s a Headline! Gusto Catfood Wants To Separate From Carmina
Meanwhile, ‘Gusto Cat Food tells Carmina that they cannot keep fighting, so he has taken a decision. He wants to separate from Carmina. Yippee.
Here’s Augusto’s song. If you play an instrument, play along! If you sing, hum a few bars. All of us want to support Assgusto in THIS decision.
King of the Toads
Sung to the tune of Roger Miller’s ‘King of the Road’
Got me an orange wife for rent.
The garden’s big, you can pitch a tent.
Can’t make up your mind—Need some help?
Carmina’s got Five Stars on YELP!
It say’s right here, “Two hours of bouncing tan,
Made P. Landucci a happy man.”
Am I a bad man? By no means!
I’m the King of the Toads!
Child Elisa surely ain’t mine
All she does is weep and whine
The way that woman whinges
Is it any wonder if I cringes?
She’s always trying to hug on me,
Lookin’ for my sympathy,
Am I a good Papa? By no means!
I’m the King of the Toads!
Girlfriend Kenia’s hot for me.
Like I told Ingrid, “She’s WAY past puberty!”
“She’s 17 if she’s a day
Who cares about age anyway?”
Today I’ll tell her to back down
That’ll keep her from coming ‘round!
Am I a good amante? By no means!
I’m the King of the Toads!
Last week I shot Damian.
Firearms accident can really hurt a man,
Take him from a respected Don,
To an incarcerated Con.
Plus, if that shot’d gone wider and higher
Dam’d be the new soprano in ‘Lupe’s choir!
Am I a good shot? By no means!
I am the King of the Toads!
Girlfriend Kenia’s hot for me.
Like I told Ingrid, “She’s WAY past puberty!”
“She’s 17 if she’s a day!”
“Who cares about age anyway?”
I am the King of the Toads! I am the King of the Toads! I am the King of the Toads!

A Masked Visitor with a paper bag on her foot hobbles her way over to the Augusto table…
Whew! OH MAN. Carlos por me a drink. This has got me waxing hopeful. I am giddy that he is leaving the Tiny Brown Spider.
Now maybe he’ll have time to get to a Costco store and get his glasses fixed. That will make it easier for me to write recaps without having to consider the possible deeper meanings or themes implied in the broken/obscured vision trope suggested by the star shape in the ruined eyeglasses. (You people who find this meaningful can head over to the rickety table hosted by the Alan Ginsburg look-alike twin Profs from NYU and UCLA Film Schools. The drink of choice over there is a triple espresso with a straight up tequila chaser.
I’ll bet’Gusto can find AA meetings in the basment of ‘Lupe’s church. I know a whole table of really kind (and very funny) people who are ready to believe the best of him if he heads over to the Patio of Lowered Expectations.
The Boring Tovars
Edmundo and Begonia have lunch. They flirt a bit before she starts mindlessly discussing town happenings . He still has feelings for her but he gets mad when her incessant gossiping brings Carmina. Augusto, etc. to their table. He gets mad and walks out of the restaurant. Big yawn.
One Line Songs
· Ramona tells Paloma that she does not own Gael. He is not her property. I LOVE RAMONA.
· Ingrid strolls her annoying assets back into the Blue House of Shame. Gabino and Ingrid fuss and fight about telling Gael about his father. If they do that then she won’t get another cent out of Alfonsina. Gabino, thinking back, perhaps, to his ass-chewing by Alfonsina earlier, says she is not going to get another cent out of Alfie anyway, but Damian will put out. Not while Alfonsina is alive….
· Alfonsina and Flo gossip about Paolo having it bad for Carmina Bouvier. Meanwhile Carmina has dinner with Guido and asks for his help. She cries and mumbles something about her marriage being ruined by Paolo.
· Alfonsina recruits Chente to be her personal spy. He is to report all meeting of Damian and Elisa.
· Meanwhile anvils line up as Lolita reminds Horacio that she knows almost nothing about him. He looks impactada and then tells her he has never been married. Why? Because he takes marriage very seriously. Run, Lolita, run!
Gael Asks Elisa to Be a Friend but Elisa is Still Being Written as Stoopid
Gael asks Elisa to talk to Damian about everything that is happening. Elisa continues stoopid. She she tells him that she prefers Damian to continue to believe that she and Gael have a relationship.
Whaat? Honest to Gawd, people. This isn’t just stupid, Elisa, it is downright mean. But Gael, who is supposed to be the rube here, gets upset and tells Elisa that is unwilling to continue with this farce. I love Gael. He tells her he needs to mature, too. He won’t play her game. After all he has done for her she just wants to use him. Ouchee. That must really hurt.
Paloma’s SQUEE is Heard All the Way to Petaluma
Gael seeks Lupe’s advice because Gael is hopping mad. He has feelings for someone who doesn’t correspond. Padre assures him that this has happened before and that Gael should move on.
Right at this moment, Paloma comes to see Gael for a talk. Paloma is confused. Damian and Elisa have told her two different stories—Dam told her that Gael and Elisa were novios. Elisa said this was not true. Gael tells her that Elisa told the truth. Gael and Elisa are NOT novios.
Paloma starts to cry. She wanted to believe Elisa. She has always been her friend.
Then she starts babbling Does the girl have NO pride? I guess not…Well, after seeing the People in Español photo of Mark I would probably grovel too, if a) My spoken Spanish were better, b) I was 30 years younger, c) and 30 pounds lighter. “At least you are free,” Paloma natters. “I wish I could respond”, he says gently. “Why can’t you try to see me with other eyes?” Paloma asks Gael to be given an opportunity as a NOVIA. After some wrinkling of his handsome brow he says yes, they're going to try! She SQUEES and kisses him full of happiness .......
Kenia Comes Calling For…Elisa
When ‘Gusto told Elisa that nothing is going on with Kenia, naïve Elisa says that she knows this (more stoopid from the bad writers) as she pledges her misguided loyalty to Augusto with a Buenos Dias and leaves his office to the front bell ringing.
She opens the door to Kenia who wants to see…ummm..yeah…Elisa. Yeah, she is worried about Elisa. No, of course the rumours are exxagerated, there is nothing going on. Oh, the scandal that Carmina is making.
Elisa says Augusto is in his study and doesn’t not want to see anyone. Maybe he’ll see Kenia? No, Kenia thinks that is a bad idea. Later, she calls him on the phone. He does not think they should talk. She is a minor! (Well. ‘Gusto, she was a minor in age when you kissed her in front of the Mayor, his Horse and everybody on the street last week! What were you thinking then????) He is not looking for any more problems in his life. Yep, Ingrid has him spooked. Guess he did not think much of that carcel chow.
Augusto runs into Camina as she comes in late. She tries to explain where she has been, but ‘Gusto is not interested. Desamor for sure.
Paolo Is A Loser Except When He Looks In Mirror
Moments after Augusto has bid Carmeana goodnight and headed to his room, Paolo, who has been following Carmina, tries to push right past Carmina into her house. (LOCK the door behind you, Carmina.) She resists him, calls him stupid, berates him and shoves him right out the front door. When he is not being a rapey-snake what does Paolo do?
Bereft, Paolo goes down to the Cantina and makes friends with a good looking bottle of tequila. They become intimate as he finishes at least one bottle and sleeps prettily at a table in the bar. His head is turned to the side and not face down with slack arms in ‘Gusto Catfood’s favorite overnight position. No, we in Vierville do not feel sorry for him as the proprietor offers him a cafecito with his bill as morning sun streams in through the bar’s open shutters.
The Tovar Family Sup Together
Begonia gets all dressed up for dinner at home with the whole family but Edmundo is delayed. It almost doesn’t happen. At dinner Begonia had to stop Sabrina from gossiping for Edmundo’s sake. Edmundo doesn’t stay for dessert. Meh.
Guido and Alfonisina Breakfast Together
They talk about Paolo’s problems with Carmina and Guido’s recent meeting with the Tiny Brown Recluse. Alfie wants to know why Guido did not trust her with this information before.
Guido is worried about Paolo. He is obsessed with this woman, Carmina. When their parents died, he tells Alfie, he felt responsible for Paolo, his little brother. If Paolo goes back to Mexico he, Guido, will go with him.
La Procesadora
Thirty second shot of peppers being processed in a machine. Really eats up the screen time. Damian and anf Flo walk in to the office. Damian has a visitor waiting. It is Elisa!

Refugio Para el Amor #25-26 Tue 6/12/12 He's Not Heavy, He's My Brother, But Rosa's Pride Weighs Heavier Than Her Guilt
I'm giving just bullet points tonight and I organized by themes.
Rosa’s Guilt Does Not Make Her a Better Person/Luci’s Origins Become Less Murky
Rosa’s Guilt Does Not Make Her a Better Person/Luci’s Origins Become Less Murky
-Rosa confesses to Padre Honesto that she gave away Claudio
and Aurora’s daughter, without consulting Claudio, and now she can’t tell him
the truth. Yet, she keeps whining about the guilt she feels. Padre gets majorly
frustrated and ticked off at her and tells her she had no right to do what she
did. If she won’t come clean to Claudio, well that’s just on her conscience. He later tells her he can’t help her further
and she best see a shrink.
-Rosa tells the Padre that she knows the baby was not
Claudio’s, and that’s one reason why she can’t bring herself to tell him the
whole truth about the child. She admits to the Padre that the only other people
who know what she did with the baby are Connie and Mati.
-After finding Hannah, Melissa, and Luci in the library with
Lorenzo, who’s using the phone to call his new boss at Inferno, Rosa blows her
stack and majorly reams Luci out for letting her insignificant relatives into
the house. Hannah and Melissa are absolutely shocked. The only other time
Hannah has seen her mother act this way was the first day Luci came into the
house. The two girls tell Pato what happened. He’s just as flabbergasted and
perplexed by his mother’s behavior towards Luci.
-Luci wonders why the heck Rosa hates her so much.
-Rosa meets with Connie and asks for her help in finding the
little girl. To do that, she needs to find the gardeners, Galdino and Paz!
-Back at Casa Torreslanda, Pato is asking Luci if she
finished high school/secondary school. She just had one exam to go, but then
her dad died and all this other bad stuff happened, so she didn’t get to take
it. Pato offers to help her register for and take the exam. Then he asks her to
tell him more about her mother and father. Mati has come into Pato's room with fresh towels. She drops the towels and nearly faints when she hears Luci say
her parents are Paz and Galdino Jacinto Flores. Mati immediately knows that
Luci is the daughter of Claudio and Aurora Linares!
-Luci helps Mati to her room, and Mati pumps Luci for more
information about her parents and childhood. She seems especially concerned
about whether Luci had a happy childhood. Luci only has good things to say
about her parents. She tells Mati about her father's dying words/wish, for Luci to find Rosa Torres...
Everyone’s Talking
About and Visiting El Inferno
-Aldo is keen to go see Lorenzo and hang out at El Inferno,
which is one of the hot clubs at the moment. Hannah wants to go too, which
causes Rosa to have a fit and yell at everyone. Max takes Aldo aside privately
to warn him not to go to a place like that or to take Hannah there. I’m sure
every Torreslanda and relative will have hung out at Inferno by the end of this
tn.
-Lorenzo gets a job at Inferno.
-Don Aquiles shows up at El Inferno, totally by coincidence,
and does not understand the concept of valet (he thinks the guy is saying
ballet) parking.
-Lastra and Ivan can tell from a mile away that Aquiles is a
hick from the sticks with lots of money. They want to relieve him of that money,
so they serve him the best and most expensive mezcal, introduce him to the
private salon in the back with the gambling, Lastra exchanges cards with him
and invites him back whenever he is next in D.F. , and they get their best
girl, Coral/Violeta to serve him. He doesn’t recognize Violeta, but appreciates
her assets, but she recognizes him.
-Another regular customer is totally crushing on Violeta. He
wants to walk her home, but she tells him Polo’s already got that job. She
clarifies that Polo is not her boyfriend (poor guy) and she seems to like the customer too. She is not freaked out at all the next day when he just shows up at her
apartment building. Stalker!
-Seeing how much she attracts customers, Lastra wants
Violeta to start working in the private salon. Seems he’s thinking that she may
be willing to offer more than drinks and snacks to the customers. She tells him
her only *other* talent is singing. He agrees to try her out as a singer in the
private salon.
Emperor Max of Empresas Torreslanda
-Although everyone else, including Pato, and especially Rod, want to invest in the new business venture, Max puts his foot down and refuses to agree. Rod is pissed and wonders why Max has no faith in him. He's sure he must have even trusted his first business partner more, who cheated him. Oscar wonders if perhaps that's why Max has such a hard time trusting others.
-Oscar reports back to Max on Linares, who's determined to clear his name. Oscar doesn't see the harm. Since he's guilty he won't be able to prove his innocence. He's guilty, right? Max assures Oscar of Claudio's guilt and he wants him to stay on the case. Oscar confides in Connie about his unease over this whole Linares matter.
-Looks like Max may have some competition for Vicky's heart in the form of that lazy, walking disaster, Aldo. Aldo drops by the beauty salon to score some money off of Connie, and takes the opportunity to flirt with Vicky. He makes her smile.

Het Het
-Fabian tells Magda and Paz that Ariche is so depressed
about Luci being gone that he’s even stopped putting an effort into his school
work. Fabian brings him around to Magda’s so that she and Paz can love him up.
He just wants to know if Luci is coming back.
-Magda and Paz call Lorenzo and tell him Don Aquiles is in
the city looking for them. They all need to be alert and careful.
-Paz finally asks Magda why she seems to know so darned much
about Don Aquiles. She admits that she was once involved with him, when she was
young and foolish, but then she realized what kind of man he is.
-Don Aquiles gets a flat tire on his way back to Chihuahua.
A perfect end to his unsuccessful trip to the big city.
Love Quadrangle 1:
Lalu-Boris-Hannah-Lorenzo
-Boris is blowing up Hannah’s phone night and day trying to
convince her to give him a chance.
-Both Lalu and Boris want to drop out of their school group
project- Lalu because she can’t bear to be near Boris if she can’t have him;
Boris because he can’t bear to be near Hannah if he can’t have her.
-After he gets run over by a pizza delivery bike on his way
out of Casa Torreslanda (he was warning Luci about Aquiles), Lorenzo gets
rescued by Hannah and Melissa. Lorenzo and Hannah are hit by the love bug, big
time. The girls bring him inside to tend to his bumps and scrapes, and H &
L can’t take their eyes off each other. Too bad Rosa would lock Hannah up in a convent before she’d let her get involved with a poor, uneducated guy like Lorenzo, and
especially since he’s the brother of her favorite punching bag, Luci.
Love Quadrangle 2:
Pato-Luci-Rod-Gala
-Rod tells Gala that he can’t marry her because he realizes
that he doesn’t really know her. For example, he never knew she was such a
cruel person. When she presses for details, he keeps mum about what he learned
about her war against Luci. Gala points out that he’s the one cancelling the
wedding for no reason, and yet he’s calling HER cruel.
-Gala proceeds to yell in anger, whine, cry, beg on her
knees, and then threatens to take her own life. Rod can only beg her not to do
anything crazy and tells her they will talk the next day when they are both
calm.
-Julie admits to a surprised Gala that they are in debt, and
she had to take a loan out on their NYC apartment, so Gala better do something
to get Mr. Torre$$landa back and down the aisle.
-Rod goes home and tells Pato that he doesn’t want to marry
Gala. Pato, being the most intelligent character in this tn, asks Rod if he had
the guts to tell Gala he can’t marry her because he’s in love with Luciana? Rod
is shocked that Pato knows, but Pato says it’s obvious. He asks Rod if he’s
spoken with Luci, and is not surprised that she wants Rod to leave her alone. Pato understands that Luci doesn’t want to
suffer, and warns Rod not to hurt her.
-Since he can’t fight his feelings for Luci, Rod decides to
move back to his apartment permanently, that night. When he gets there, and has
taken off his shirt in preparation for bed (thank you director/writers), Gala,
wearing nothing but a fur coat and her highest, black do-me heels, jumps his
bones. He does not resist. Well, he *does* weakly beg her to not do this to
him.
-The next morning, Gala is still playing seductress. She
must be really good, because Rod has been completely subdued back into a
cooperative bridegroom. Gala glosses over her Luci antics by pointing out that Rod
wouldn’t have be pleased had she been flirting with some guy, like he has been
with Luci. Rod doesn’t deny this. Looks like the wedding is on again.
-Later Rod feeds Pato dinner and Pato tells him what
happened that day when Rosa bit Luci’s head off about her brother. Rod wants to
see her and comfort her, but he’s keeping his promise about keeping his
distance. Well Pato wants to see her too, and nothing would happen if they are
both there.
-Luci hears a knock on her door late that evening. She is
shocked to find Rod at her door, holding Pato in his strong, manly arms.
Avances: Mati believes
that it’s God’s will that Claudio and Aurora’s child, Luci, was brought back to
them. She asks Rosa, “What would you do if the child showed up here?” Gala gets
ready for the big day, but overhears Rod say that he does not want to get
married.

El Talismán #95 Tue 6/12/12 The Just Desserts Cart Is Beginning to Roll In and Why is Everyone Wearing Blue*?
Recap by Rosemary la Otra
Antonio is pondering
how in the diablo Pig figured out he was poisoning him.
Rennie*, in a deep sea blue shirt, and Rita and Dr. Doh-mo
are arguing amongst themselves. When Doh
tries to exit, Antonio is there at the door and asks “Where do you think you're
going?”, and pushes Doh back onto the couch. Antonio tells them they could all
go to jail. Renato begs to differ that
he and Rita aren't involved. Antonio
tells them “of course you are, so listen up, here's the plan, but first where's
the bottle of poison?”
Pedro tells Margarito about the phone call he overheard and
that Lu and Antonio are poisoning Pig, and he wants to go to the police. Margarito points out the irony that Pedro
wants to save the man who has always hated him.
Maria and Manuel*, in his turquoise tie, are still basking
in the afterglow of their wedding with candlelight and toasts. Her hair is pinned up into a cute curly bob
that is attractive on her.
As Camila*, in a teal sleeping tank top, dreams of Pedro, a
new day dawns and Pedro*, wearing a navy blue tee, is sleeping on the couch. He is dreaming of Camila*, wearing a light
blue skirt, and even mumbles “Camila” aloud.
He is awakened by a presence and Pop! Goes the Sleazel (oops, wrong tn),
there stands Lu in her thigh high F-me boots.
She had overheard his mumblings, but will play sweet for the moment. She
asks why he didn't come sleep with her, and he tries to change the subject
about her needing to go visit her dad.
He also talks to her about changing her attitude, and living in the real
world, and being honest with him, if she wants this to work.
For our daily dose of comfort food, Army and Angel are
noshing on fries. Elvira comes out
wheeling the match to Doris' suitcase.
She's saying she can't stay there since Angel kicked her out, which he
denies. Then she goes off about how
Maria is worried Manuel will leave her for Elvira. The boys say as simply as they can “Manuel no
te ama” as if they were talking to a kindergartener. She isn't hysterical, but she is walking
around with that proverbial stick up her butt.
Forget the Sleepytime Tea, give her some Laxatea.
Of all the loose ends that need to get wrapped up, we waste
time on the Sarita / Gabe relationship.
Santiago*, in a blue rasperry shirt, is giving love advise to Gabe. I kid you not!
Meanwhile, Sarita*, in a blue denim jacket, and blue belt is
talking with Geno*, in her blue plaid shirt that is over a robin egg blue cami,
about poor Sarita's single status.
Sarita says she is going to try to get pregnant so Gabe will have to
marry her. Geno hurries and puts the
kibosh on that idea. Great PSA.
While Pedro* is changing into his blue-button-up dress
shirt, Lu stands out on the veranda berating Sarita for not being able to get
Gabe to marry her. Sarita screams a
CALLATE and just then Gabe and Santiago walk up and Gabe informs todo el mundo,
including Rude Lu, that he is going to marry Sarita. First Sarita says “en
serio?”, then she turns on Lu saying “now who are you going to marry since
Pedro is already married to Camila?”.
Really, isn't rubbing someone's face in it the best part of getting
engaged?
Pedro and Padre walk up and both think it is maravilloso,
but when Padre has Gabe alone he asks him if he's sure about this as it's a
very serious matter. WAIT! Isn't Padre the one who has been hounding
Gabe just as much as Sarita has? Gabe
admits his doubts, so Padre says he won't marry them, but then when faced with
the prospect of not marrying Sarita, Gabe panics and realized her really does
love her.
Aaaahhhh!
But wait... Geno is doing her work and those peacocks* are
blaring again. No, that's Sarita running
up to tell Geno the good news. Geno is a
bubble bustin' voice of reason saying given the circumstances of the proposal,
she thinks it was just a Pity Proposal.
Commercial: Has
anyone actually ordered the Fir Slim?
Antonio comes in and takes Camila's cell phone out of her
hand and locks her in the bedroom. Then
he tells Doris and Poncho they need to run some things to the post office for
F1, and finally he sends Domitila and Tracy*, in a blue hemmed skirt, to the
end of the ranch to clean the farthest cabin.
Here come the hoi polloi of Fresno, Rita, Rennie and Dr.
Doh, to El Alcatraz. Why have they been
called there? They hope to get
paid. When Maria (not Tia, but the nun
from Sound of Music) made those clothes using the drapes, she must have left
the valance. Rita* is wearing it as a
blue-gray ruffled dress.
Pig, sitting on the edge of his bed, takes a gulp of water
and runs with his mouth covered to el bano. We know from past shows this means
he has morning sickness and is pregnant.
Antonio sneaks in right then and takes Pig's gun from the nightstand and
shoves it in his back waistband.
Pig comes out of el bano sweating like a... well, sweating
like a pig. Pig tells Antonio he is not going to get away with poisoning
him. Antonio aims the gun at Pig and
says “Oh ya?”. They get into a fight
with lots of wrestling and screaming.
Camila is listening from her locked door.
The pig is on the floor, Antonio is hollering that no one
will come help him because nobody loves him.
He's pointing the gun. Pig is
calling him a coward for bullying him when he's so weak. Antonio replies “just like you did to me when
I was a little boy, you hit me and spat on me....” Pig blurts out that Antonio isn't even his
son, he is the bastard child of his mother and Antonio surprises us with the
answer that he always knew that. Sad.
Pig make a laughable grab for the gun just as Dr. Doh-Mo
walks in with a huge syringe. Pig tries
to tackle Doh and Antonio calls for Rennie.
The three guys hold him down while Doh sticks the syringe in Pig's
neck. Yes, the pig got poked.
Camila is hollering to get out. Rita hears this and thinks “Is Camila here?”
Antonio pays Renato
and tells him to go far, far away. When
Doh asks for money, Antonio throws lots of bills at him. lol
Pig, the bloviating ignoramus, has been silenced and is
immobile except for his eyes. His mind
is alert, though, and as Dr. Doh fluffs pillows, Pig thought bubbles:
-As soon as I can
move I swear I'm going to kill you!
-Bastard, you
betrayed me!
-I hope both you and Antonio burn in hell!
-I will rise as
the 12th Imam! (well, maybe
not that one)
Antonio gives his best diabolical laugh yet and puts the gun
back in the nightstand. What can Pig do
with it, after all? He then goes to
Camila's room and tells her that despite the screams she heard, she is to act
tranquila in front of people. Oh, and
Pig had a stroke.
Ho-ris is at the Fres-Ho House, engaging in pillow talk with
Lucas. He tells her that Antonio and Dr.
Jaime have bad intentions for Pig. I
hear The Incredible Mr. Limpit dolphin sounds as background music.
Lu and Pedro arrive at El Alcatraz. They walk into Antonio and his Chula. Antonio announces that he and Camila are
expecting. Camila concurs. I am trying to read the expression on Pedro's
face. Does he know it must be his? Is he doubting the pregnancy? Whatever, it's a shame he covers that
gorgeous smile of his with a thin lipped closed mouth grin.
Camila is very incomoda with Antonio's hand around her. They talk about if they want a boy or girl
and what about a name. Camila says she
wants a girl and to name her “Mariana”.
(Okay, who here suggested ust that this past weekend?) Antonio says “too bad she died”. Pedro says “no, she was murdered”.
Incidental: F2* and
her friend* are at the ice cream shoppe.
F2 is venting about everything and everybody, except for Camila, who she
kinda feels sorry for now.
*Who Wore Blue:
- Rennie
- Rita
- Pedro, twice
- Manuel
- Camila, twice
- Santiago
- Sarita
- Geno, layered
- Tracy
- Primer Impacto commercial gal
- Noticiero Univision commercial gal
- F2
- F2's friend
- The peacocks
- Doris (is excluded, as she had on no clothes)

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.

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.
