Abismo de Pasión #67 6/14/12: People have personality transplants and make numerous annoying house calls. It’s just another day.


Last night we left off with Ramona revealing her huge secrets to...wait for it...a man who already knew and who cannot say a thing about it to anyone else! Ta daaaaa!! Nice going there Ramona. You gonna tell Gabino next?


She also tells Padre that Carmina was pregnant before she married Augusto and she’s going to ask Don A if he was doing the horizontal bop with his sis-in-law prior to marrying Stef. Padre advises against that, who knows what kind of scum will float to the surface if she stirs that pot? Ramona thinks Elisa and Stef’s reputations have suffered too long, it’s time to unlock the chest and let the truth fly out. Padre totally agrees and he, too, has had to keep quiet; he would like to see this business cleared up, but it wouldn’t be worth all the wounds it would open. OK then, she says somewhat sarcastically, so she has to keep her mouth shut. He ominously says that decision is hers, just so she is prepared to deal with the consequences.


Bedraggled Begoña visits Carmina to inspect her decor and give advice about being dumped. She says a separation doesn’t necessarily mean divorce. All relationships go through rough patches and a separation gives a couple time to reflect. Carmina’s jumping out of her skin about now and tries to get Be to leave, but Be pulls Carmina back down on the couch, lol. Be says since Edmundo and Augusto are such good friends shouldn’t they be BFFs too? Carmina gives her biggest fake smile. (Is Fina losing another ally?)


Elisa gripes to Lucio about their contract with La Anita and in so doing reveals to him that it was Alfonsina who loaned her the money. QUE??? Why didn’t she tell him that before? He’s furious to hear the terms. Elisa says so what if Fina ends up with her tierras, they served their purpose if they help her papá. Bah humbug, says Lucio. Furthermore, there’s something else he wants to talk to her about, he heard she and Dam broke up. Is this also part of her contract with Fina? No comment, and Elisa runs off.


Padre ribs Gael about his novia, not Elisa but Paloma. Ha! He saw them last night. They start to dance, no wait, it’s just Padre and Gael doing their body language thingie. Padre’s not criticizing Gael, in fact he was happy to see Gael and Paloma canoodling in the dark. He’s just not sure it’s fair to Paloma if Gael is merely playing around. 


Sabrina finds out Begoña went to visit Carmina and thinks it’s a bit odd. Begoña claims it was just because she thinks they should become good friends like their husbands. Sabrina suspects maybe mom wants to wheedle her way back into dad’s good graces, and won’t this pith off Fina who can’t stand the Castañons? Begoña admits that Dad might be her reason, and Fina can lump it if she doesn’t like it. Heh, just wait until Edmundo finds out his wife is trying to get friendly with his ex-lover.


Lolita reveals to Elisa that Begoña came to visit Carmina, which was weird since Carmina has zero friends. Poor Tia, muses Elisa, no friends and now a separation from papá. Whoa, that’s news to Lolita. Dad is moving out and Elisa’s going with him...and Lolita too. Elisa feels like leaving the house will be burying the last memory of her mamá. Nope, says Lolita, her memory is still in your heart. Awww, the I Love Lolita table is buying a round for the house!


Night has fallen and Elisa moons over her pic of mom and Blanca, she even kisses it. Oh gosh, please don’t start crying. Whew! Saved by Paloma who has come to apologize. (I’m having a deja-vu here.) Paloma spoke with Gael and he confirmed what Elisa told her earlier. “What a shock that you believe him at least,” snips our heroine in a rare moment of sarcasm. Apologies, excuses, and Elisa suggests they not let a misunderstanding ruin their friendship. Pretty gracious if you ask me. 


There is another thing Paloma came to tell Elisa. When she and Gael were talking one thing led to another and...and...Yes, He is my boyfriend! Squeeee! Jumping up and down. Happy happy joy joy. They hug under the swaying anvils.


Paloma is worried. What if Damian finds out? Elisa tells her not to worry, she can blab to the whole world that Gael is her novio. Maybe Paloma should be asking Gael about this little detail instead of Elisa.


Dam feels the static cling when Clingwrap drifts over to the Proce to annoy him. He rebuffs her and she whines she’s only trying to be friendly. He reminds her that she betrayed and lied to him and he doesn’t want to make the same mistake. (Damian, let me insert one of my best bits of advice. Never go back to a job or an ex. There is a reason it ended in the first place. There. I’ve said it. What you do with this excellent advice is up to you.)


Flo clings and coos that she just wants to show Dam that she truly loves him. Poor Enrique walks in just as Dam begrudgingly allows Flo to kiss him. Enrique sadly puts his documents on Dam’s desk while Flo glares at him. Weird trips incorporated, as my girlfriends and I used to say. After Enrique leaves Dam accuses Flo of being rude. “What, I should give him a hug and a kiss?” she asks. Enough of that stupid conversation, Dam and his short cane leave with Flo hovering nearby.


Augusto visits Lucio to ask him a favor. Can Elisa and Lolita live at Casa Lucio? (Oh Em Gee! This has got to be the first good idea EVER to come out of that toothy mouth. Say yes say yes say yes.) Lucio says yes, hooray!! Augusto tells him he’s going to separate from Carmina, he’s moving out from the quinta, and he thinks Elisa and Lolita would be better off with Lucio. Lucio invites Augusto to live with him too. (No no no no no!) Augusto says no (whew!), he wants to be alone. He’s been a bad husband, blah blah blah, his life is a disaster and Elisa has been the victim. He says he’d like to give her the love she deserves but he just can’t. (Pffffft. I’m immune to that sympathetic yet highly annoying violin music. I’d like to swat you like a fly you dunderhead.)


Ingrid visits Kenia to push her idea about Kenia hooking up with Damian. Kenia is annoyed because mom put the kibosh on her deelio* with Assgusto.
*too gross to define


Clingwrap is still clinging and macking all over Damian, this time in front of Guido. Dad wants Flor to explain what is going on. She didn’t tell dad about it before because he was preoccupied with Tio Tightshirt, but she and Dam are back together. Happy hugs. 


Dam finds Fina and rips on her for firing Paolo without letting him know in advance. Furthermore, Gabino had no right to fire Paolo because Dam already fired Gabino. Fina claims she didn’t know Dam had returned to work and it’s not fair to fire Gabino because he had nothing to do with Fina and Dam’s disagreement about Elisa’s tierras. She doesn’t want to argue about a mere employee, she’s rather talk about his feelings for Florencia. Big eyeroll from Dam. Fina wants to talk to Padre Loopy about their wedding. Bigger eyeroll, why the rush?  He and Flo need time to work things out. 


Tonia interrupts, phone call for Dam, another mystery woman. Surprise, it’s Ingrid Navarro. She knows he and Gael are good friends and she’d like to talk to Dam ASAP, like in 20 minutes. Fina gives Dam the botox death glare and demands to know who called. “It wasn’t about Elisa and that’s all you need to know. Don’t hold dinner for me,” he snaps as he defiantly hobbles out.


Assgusto gets home looking for Carmina. Lolita says she’s out, but she’s prepared a yummy meal for them and they have a guest. “Hey there Don Augusto,”  chirps Kenia. Cara impactada de Assgusto, probably because she’s wearing a dress that leaves absolutely nothing to the imagination. I can even see her belly button through it. He doesn’t like the idea but Kenia begs to stay. She wants to fix the bad feelings between them all. Augusto says those bad feelings have been going on for many years. Elisa suggests maybe Kenia had better go and she runs to grab Kenia’s purse, allowing Assgusto and Kenia to low hiss (thanks Madelaine) at each other. He says they are over! She refuses to accept it. 


Fina summons Chente for his first assignment. Follow Damian and find out where he went and whom he met. Then report back pronto! 


Paloma gets home and asks Ramona if Gael has been by. No, why should he be? Paloma says it's normal for novios to visit novias at home, isn’t it? Que que que?? Come on Gran, complains Paloma, I told you this afternoon but your head was in the clouds. Ramona huffs but doesn’t remember. (Memory anvil?) Ramona asks if Gael told Paloma he loves her. “No, but all in good time. Aren’t you happy that he’s finally paying attention to me? “ Ramona admits that what she feels is terror because she thinks this will cause Paloma great suffering. Paloma calls Gran a wet blanket and stomps out.


Augusto drags Kenia outside and scolds her for coming on to him. She reminds him he’s going to be a free man and they can be together. She’s turning into a Clingwrap too, and he says his breakup wasn’t for her, and if he wanted someone else it wouldn’t be her. She says she’ll go if he promises to come to her later at her house. “Forget it.” She advises him to reconsider because if Carmina discovers her there then Elisa will know about the whole scandal. Aw shucks, he says, since you asked so nicely I guess I’ll see you later.


Fina visits Pathetic Paolo in his messy room. She doesn’t understand what he sees in a woman like Carmina Bouvier. She’s married, poor, and unnaturally orange. He should look for a woman of his own class. Paolo asks does she really think that is something that someone decides? Whatevs, says Fina, she doesn’t like how it’s affecting his brother. Guido is desperate and all he wants to do is leave with Paolo. Paolo is getting the picture, the truth is Fina doesn’t want Guido to leave. He tells Fina not to pretend with him. He doesn’t understand what Guido can offer to her, he knows she just needs a man by her side. SLAP! Its a dainty one but its a direct hit. “I won’t allow you to disrespect me! The only reason I don’t kick you out now is that I don’t want to give your brother another headache!”


Horacio drives Dam to La Fonda to meet Ingrid. Wow, Chente’s little horse must be fast because he’s right there. Dam gets on II’s case about abandoning her job. She says she was very sick but she’s not there to talk about work. She needs his help on another subject, her daughter Kenia is doing badly because she’s madly in love with him. “No puede ser,” he says but then he recalls Kenia telling him he can count on her any time. Ingrid knows he didn’t do anything to lead her on but Kenia is young and impressionable. She just wants Dam to talk to her.


Assgusto tells Elisa that he talked to Lucio about Elisa and Lolita going to live at Casa Lucio. The sleazel, resembling Regan from The Exorcist, creeps over to the door to eavesdrop. Assgusto says he vants to be alone to get his life together. Elisa doesn’t believe he should do it alone, they should stay together. He wonders why, considering he has been such a crap dad and all. Aw, here come those violins again. She says maybe, but he is her papá and she doesn’t want to lose him like she lost her mamá


Pop! goes the sleazel! “You wanna know why dad wants you and Lolita to live with Lucio?  Because he already has another house and woman waiting for him.” Assgusto tells her to callate already. Orangina reveals his mujer is none other than Elisa’s friend Kenia. Assgusto says he made one mistake but he’s not going to repeat it. Then he runs from the room. Way to stick up for yourself dude.


Back at La Fonda Irritating Ingrid (II) is still pleading her case for Kenia. Dam agrees to see her to tell her he doesn’t have corresponding feelings. II says she hopes he’s able to fix his problems with Elisa and Gael. They have been like brothers since they were kids. “Not gonna happen,” he says, “wer’e not friends much less brothers. He betrayed me.” He defiantly hobbles off. The ancient first aid kid hanging askew on the wall cracked me up.


Irritat-Ing calls Kenia to say she just had coffee with Dam, and he is very interested in her. Kenia is livid, II had no right. II says she’s just looking out for Kenia’s interests. Some mutual insults and Kenia hangs up. Kenia says to herself that mom is right, she shouldn’t waste any opportunity. “I hope Assgusto shows up soon.” 


Fina gets all over Flo’s case for not keeping a tighter leash on Damian. A while ago some woman called him and he left. He said it wasn’t Elisa but how can they be sure?

Vicente shows up with the 411. Dam went to La Fonda and he met a woman. He doesn’t know her name but she used to be GABINO MENDOZA’S secretary.


Horacio drops Dam off at Kenia’s and says he’ll be back in half an hour. Ingrid lurks. Dam enters the darkened house. He hears “Yoo hoo, I’m in the bedroom.”


Outside, Ingrid intercepts Elisa who has come to talk to Kenia. II says Kenia is busy so beat it. “My dad wouldn’t dare show up....” assumes Elisa as she pushes her way into the house. She enters Kenia’s bedroom just in time to see Kenia kissing Damian. 

Elisa looks shocked. Damian looks guilty. Kenia sure as hell looks shocked. I look a little confused but am utterly delighted at this mess. 


Avances: Damian was set up! Elisa accuses Dam. Dam sees Paloma kissing Gael and she tells him there never was anything between Elisa and Gael. Will there be a reconciliation?

Refugio Para el Amor #29-30 Thu 6/14/12 It's A Nice Day For A White Wedding



These Epi's were heavy so I snarked them up a bit. 

The Day Before the Wedding: Mexico City

Max has gone to see Claudio Linares in his office. Claudio wants to know what the heck he's doing there. Max tells him to quit protesting, accept the settlement and move on. Claudio tells Max he is the fraud, besmirched his name, ruined his reputation and his prestige is gone. He wants all of them back. He spent twenty years in the carcel and now is face to face with Max. Max is claiming he wants to help Claudio, but Claudio isn't buying it. He tells Max my wife and child died while I was in la carcel, and he calls Max a coward. Claudio wants his honor back. Max leaves and Lic Barrerra has come by. He is going to help Claudio to try to get all these things back he lost, by doing some investigating. Meanwhile Max has gone back to his office and tells Oscar he needs to do some snooping to see exactly what Claudio is up to.

Rod and Rosa are still in the library discussing if he is getting married or not. He assures her he is. She actually wanted him to marry in the Church not a civil ceremony, but seeing as Gala is divorced that can't happen. Rosa doesn't want any surprises. He tells Mama Rosa to calm down there will be a wedding. Rod goes and Rosa has another talk with Conny about Luci. Conny can't understand why Rosa is always going on and on about this girl Luci, she's obsessed (you can say that again). Conny says she remembers Claudio as a gentleman and is Rosa afraid of the consequences of telling Claudio everything that happened with Aurora and the baby. She just tells Conny she doesn't want Luci anywhere near the family anymore.

Rod encounters Luci and she says they have no more to talk about. Afterwards, Mati brings something of Rod's for Luci to iron. You can tell Luci doesn't want to do it but she does. She prays to the Virgincita again to please help her get through this.

Hanna and Pato are doing a puzzle. They are discussing the wedding. Pato doesn't think Rod will be happy with Gala and Hanna agrees. They will miss him though, when he moves.

Vicky and Aldo are going on a date to Inferno. Vicky tells her Dad she won't be home late. Aldo is a real gentleman. He opens the car door for her. When they get to Inferno, he seats her and they are having a blast, although Lastra is lingering.

Rod encounters Luci again and tells her tomorrow he will be getting married and that he just wants her to know he will always love Luci forevva. She isn't buying it, he is marrying another woman for goodness sake! He tells her he never talked about love with another woman, and that she is the one and only he has ever done that with. He looks at her, as if he is going to kiss her, but he tells her he will love her forevva and he leaves. She is standing there crying, and says you are my one and only forevva.

Frigid the Rigid has opened Luci's letter, looked at it and we still don't know what it said.

Het Het:

Magda is in the office with Copio, when the Don A arrives. He wants to know what she is doing there, missing him perhaps. She gives him a song and dance and leaves. She didn't get what she came for. Magda goes home to Paz and tells her that Don A is back and she didn't get the deeds she was hoping to get. She asks Paz if maybe she has a copy of the deeds in the stuff she brought from her house. She wants her to think really hard about it. These deeds are in Galindo's name, not Don A's and it is only right for her to live on her own land and house. She says she will help her look and help her claim what is rightfully hers. They go take a walk outside and sit. Ariche comes and tells them he wants to see Luci really bad. They tell him maybe soon. Magda tells Paz, hey, let's go to the D.F. and see the girls. Oh, Paz doesn't want to do that. Paz says there are many problems and they go home. Back at home now, Paz opens up to Magda and tells her that she has been keeping a very BIG secret from Magda all these years. You see Luci isn't really her daughter!!! Magda is shocked. Paz tells her as soon as Luci was placed in her arms, she felt as if she were her own. Paz is crying and saying that Luci's real Papa is now out of la carcel and she worries that Luci will run into him in the D. F. Magda will not be detered and tells Paz that they should go to the D. F. anyway, it will give Paz,some well, paz, and that they can see Violetta and Lorenzo too. Uh Oh! Magda has been searching thru Paz's boxes and found a little case. Paz opens it and it is Luci's baby clothes, pics, marriage certificate and on the bottom??? The deeds to the land and house. They are both overjoyed to have found them.



Wedding Day:

Frigid is in charge of everything. Setting up, driving everyone crazy. Everyone is getting ready. Julie and Gala at the apt. Rod and the family at home. Pato and Hanna can't stand Gala but have to respect Rod's decision. Julie is in a zebra striped dress and Julie a nice gown, white, with a veil draped in the back, not on the face.

Luci has decided she will be in the kitchen, during the ceremony. She won't be able to handle seeing Rod get married. Mati agrees she can do that, as Frigid is busy all over the compound making sure all the stuff gets done. Also Padre Honesto has decided to attend the ceremony, by invitation of Rod, even though he will not be performing the ceremony itself. Mama Rosa is impressed. Pato tried to convince Luci to come outside and be by his side during the ceremony but Luci won't budge. Max is walking Gala down the aisle and Julie is following. Luci has gone outside, but she really can't see anything, and goes back inside. Meanwhile, Luci is in her room, looks at the Virgincita, cries and asks the Virgincita to por favor ayuda mi. She remembers Sabine warning her she would cry many tears. Luci says to herself she is sick of crying.

The judge is there, with Rod and Gala and gives Gala the pen, she signs. He gives Rod the pen and.........

We interrupt this Wedding Ceremony with this little ditty:

It is a parday of the song, "For What it's Worth, by Buffalo Springfield

There's something happen' here

What it is , is perfectly clear

Hot Bod Rod refuses to sign

He's gettin' so much resistance from behind

Stop, hey what's that sound Mala Gala has just gone down.

The battle line's being drawn

Rosa and Gala are right, and everbody else is wrong

Frigid is the back up for the two

And poor Luci's employment is on the line

Stop, hey what's that sound, Rosa is lookin' to take Luci down

What a field day for the paps

A crowd is gathering in the streets

It starts when your always afraid

Step out of line, Rosa comes and takes Luci's job away

Stop, hey what's that sound, Frigid is goose stepping Luci out the compound.

Back to the recap.

PANDEMONIUM:

Rod is about to walk off and Gala of course is down. Rod picks her up and brings her to the library. Rosa has put alcohol under her nose to wake her up and as soon as she does, she is beggin and pleading with Rod not to do this to her. He asks for forgiveness from her, but she is going down the manicomio road and slaps the crap out of him. Everyone is shocked that Rod didn't marry.

The paps are going wild outside, getting in everyone's face and asking questions, they are removed from the compound. For their part, Hanna, Aldo and Pato, and Melissa are glad Rod didn't get married.

Meanwhile Luci is even praying to her dead Papa to help her thru this. There is a knock on the door and it is Frigid of course. Frigid asks Luci if she's happy now, cause Hot Rod didn't get married. Luci can't beleive it. Frigid tells her she wouldn't want to be in her shoes. Frigid leaves, and Mati comes and Luci says she will leave the Torreslanda's house, she can't stay anymore. Mati tells her to go to the kitchen and calm down, but Luci says, oh so I can run into Gala and Julie and they can insult me some more, oh no, can't do that. Mati tells her she will defend her from all abuse and come to the kitchen. Mati leaves and Luci gets a call on her cell. She thinks it is Lorenzo, but it is Lastra. He is threatening her again. He will tell the Torreslanda's what kind of a chippy she really is, unless she meets with him. She tells him she will meet him, manana at a park close to Violetta's apartment. Luci goes down to the kitchen, and Mati is preparing tea for Rosa. Luci leaves and goes to her room.

Everyone is yelling at Rod, Rosa, Julie and especially Gala. She is truly pithed and over the edge. She wants to know why Rod did this to her. Max clears the room. She accuses Rod of loving Luci and this is why he did it, for the SERVANT, right, right!!!! Rod tells her that isn't so (Liar, Liar pants on fire) and he says he wants Gala to forgive him and that's all.

Rosa, Conny and Julie are all in the same room and Julie goes off on Rosa. She calls Rod a patan, and a, wait for it, I had to look this up, too funny burro del mundo! Too funny. Julie is just pithed off, cause there goes all the money she was counting on. Julie says she wants justice, and Conny defends Rosa and says Rosa had no idea Rod would do this to Gala.

Gala, after raising all the hell she can, finally goes with Julie. They go in the chauffer driven car and Gala doesn't even bother to hide her face from the paps at the gate.

Max, Rosa and Rod are now in the library and he tries to explain why he didn't marry Gala. He tells them, he doesn't love Gala and if he had married her he would have been miserable. Rosa can't beleive he didn't marry Gala, after all this, (well, I kinda gotta side with her here, he should have broken up with her before going to the altar, jus' sayin"). Rosa wants to know what Max thinks. He says Rod made his decision and will face the consequences, punto. Rosa gives Rod the death ray and leaves. Rod leaves too.

Luci is going to her room and Hot Bod Rod is there. Rod just wanted Luci to know he didn't get married and it was all because of her, punto. He actually leaves without touching her. After Rod goes, Luci again turns to the Virgincita, and asks why didn't Rod get married (Note to Luci-Look the Virgincita has aydudaed you today, Rod didn't get married, told you why, and yet still ya gotta ask??? Come on now!!!!). Luci has all her pots on the bed and she leaves and goes to Mati's room. Mati tells her Gala won't bother her anymore, but Luci has come to talk about Rod. Luci says she wants to leave the Torreslanda's and move in with Violetta again. Mati gives Luci a hug and tells her she will miss her Musho.

After Rod leaves Luci's room, Max is in the kitchen, and knows precisely where Rod has just been. Max wants to know if Rod wants some coffee? (Memba a couple epi's ago, when Rod had sucked face with Luci, Max was having coffee and saw where Rod had come from lol) anyhoo, Max says you didn't marry because of Luci right? Rod admits it and says Luci has stolen his heart, little by little and he is now profoundly in love with her. Rod says he feels bad for what he did to Gala, but glad he didn't marry her. They interrupt this talk of Luci by talking about some problem with a factory in Miami that Oscar is checking into. Then it is back to Luci. Hot Bod Rod says he wants a relationship with Luci, but Max tells him that Luci is the kind of girl you have an affair with, not marry (Note to Max: You are a big time snobby jerk). He tells Rod to take a little vacay and he'll be fine when he gets back.

Conny and Oscar are having some alone time and Oscar thinks the house is pretty tense. Connie say, oh, and how. Conny tells Oscar, of course Gala blamed all this on Luci. She also tells Oscar that Gala is very jealous. Oscar wants to know if Conny is jealous. She was when he went to the theater with Julie. He likes that. Oscar tells Conny he prefers to be with Conny.

Hanna and Melissa are in Pato's room watching a movie and Rosa comes in loaded for bear. She wants the girls out so they can give Pato some peace. Pato is fast asleep. She takes the remote and turns the TV off. But Hanna and Melissa start telling her about the movie, turn it back on. Rosa sits down and Hanna puts her head in Rosa's lap and Melissa offers Rosa popcorn. Rosa is so not down with this and leaves the girls to the movie (Some Mama, won't spend quality time with her daugher and neice).

The phone rings and of course Frigid the Rigid answers and it is Julie on the other end wanting to talk to Rosa. Rosa gets on the line and asks how Gala is doing. Well this sets Julie off. She tells Rosa, Gala was so traumitized by what happened she had to take a sleeping pill. She says the reason she called is evidently when Gala was getting ready she left some of her stuff and she wants it back. Rosa says she'll check. Julie also lets her have it about Luci causing all of this, Luci this and Luci that, which is triggering the hate button in Rosa. Of course Gala is nowhere near down and out, but sitting right next to her Mama grinning as Julie is going on and on. Rosa insists she doesn't know how Luci caused this. Frigid hears this and eggs Rosa on of course. Rosa gets off the phone and Frigid tails right behind her. After Julie hangs up the phone on her end, she sees that Gala has taken her ring off, and her Mama Julie asks what she is going to do now? Gala swears that she will now be concentrating on venganza against Rod. She swears to it.

Luci is in her room packing, she is leaving in the morning. Rosa and Frigid show up in Luci's room and Rosa lights into to her about all the problems she caused with Rod and Pato, she tells her to pack her things and Largate! She hates Luci and wants her gone. She wants her gone so much she is throwing Luci's things all over the room, Frigid is helping her, and Frigid takes up the box of pots and slams it on the floor. Mati has come in by this time and begs Rosa and Frigid to stop this madness. Mati tells them you can't throw this poor girl out on the street at night, wait for the morning. Luci is checking her box of pots and says yes, I am leaving in the morning. Rosa doesn't want that. Frigid is still throwing Luci's stuff around and Luci and Mati tell her to stop and Luci says, alright I'll leave now. While Rosa is yammering at her for breaking her trust, blah blah. All this time they are screaming at Luci LARGATE. Luci tells them, as she is stuffing her clothes in the box of pots and suitcase she will leave so they stop insulting her. Frigid is now kicking her stuff around. Rosa tells Frigid to goosestep , I mean escort Luci off the property never to return. Luci goes with stuff hanging all over the place. Mati and Rosa are alone and Mati lights into Rosa and tells her what craziness have you just done? Rosa tells her she did it to protect Rod and Pato. Rosa leaves and Mati prays to Dios to forgive Rosa and to forgive Mati herself for never saying that Luci is Claudio's daughter.

Rosa is now in the chapel, praying her rosary, riddled with guilt, as she SHOULD be. Max has come looking for her. He wants to know what the heck she is doing, she says she is praying to releive the suffering (Note to Rosa, go check into the nearest manicomio or better yet, Max you do it) He asks her why she got rid of Lucy, it was to protect her boys she tells him. She tells Max that both Rod and Pato are in love with her and she had to go. Max thinks she is crazy, cause Luci is the only one that was able to connect with Pato and send him on the road to recovery. Max tells her she is completely LOCA. How right that is. He leaves and she goes back to her rosary.

Frigid is goose stepping Luci to the gate of the compound just yelling at her and Largating every few seconds (and by the way, she never gave that letter to Luci). Frigid yells at the guard at the gate that orders of the Patrona Rosa, this girl is never, ever to darken the doorway of the Torreslanda's again, evva. And there is of course another LARGATE and poor pitiful Luci is going out the gate, with her stuff still barely in that box and a half open suitcase.

ADVANCES:

Stalker guy tells Violetta he is in love with her (Watch out Violetta)

Gala calls Rod and says it was because of Luci we didn't get married right?

Aldo is doing something fishy at Max's office

Max calls Vicky and demands to know where she is? She is at Inferno. Max isn't pleased.

Hanna asks Rod if he is in love with Luci and was she the reason Rod didn't get married? He nods.

El Talismán #97 Thu 6/14/12 Tomorrow, Tomorrow…


Gregorio’s Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Slumber Party:

Everybody is finding Papa Bear’s bed just right today. Now that Doris is gone, Elvira climbs in and arranges herself in various seductive poses, reminding him of what he’ll never enjoy again. Oh and by the way, she tells him, all that money you were so fond of? I now have direct access to it through my daughter. Elvira promises to come back and visit…again and again and again. But first, she must give him the goodbye he deserves…a hefty slap. Take that!

Doctorcito comes in to give Gregorio his next injection and Panchito shucks and jives his way to the bedside, promising he won’t be any trouble. Aw, gosh, he just wants to be near his Papa. Okay, says Dr. J, but you owe me one – if I ever run into trouble at El ‘Traz, you have to help me. Sure thing, boss, yessir. While the doc is distracted, Pancho palms the medicine bottle. Gag thought-bubbles a lot of stuff we don’t care about re: how he should have treated Pancho better when he could still move his limbs. Too late, rutabaga.


La Casita de Frascos:

Amid the high-anxiety smoochies, Pedro manages to tell Camila he has a plan. Gabriel and Sarita will get married TOMORROW and everyone from El ‘Traz will be invited, including the servidumbre. He will take the opportunity to case the joint for the medicine flasks with Mommy Dearest’s fingerprints – all she has to do is make sure Antonio stays at the wedding.

Camila rabbits off to tell Antonio to put down the pistol and take her home; she’s nauseous. Pedro pauses to say goodbye to the cabinet – “I will come for you TOMORROW!” he pledges – and is surprised by Valentín, who wants to know – all together now – “¿Qué haces aquí?” Pedro swears he was just out for a stroll and Camila who? Val threatens to tell Tony that Pedro was sniffing around; Pedro threatens to tell El Capitán that Val killed Mariana. Cara muy impactada y twitchy de Valentín. Round one to Pedro.


Antonio’s Casa de Amenazas:

Out in the sala, Camila is having another one of those “what planet are you from?” conversations with her mother. Camila confesses that the baby is Pedro’s, and Elvira tells her to just keep quiet about it. Not for long, Camila says, because Pedro’s gonna fix all this TOMORROW. Your baby will be rich, quoth the Nutmother; what else do you want? Oh, I dunno, maybe not to be held captive for the rest of my life by a psycho pistolero monkey?

Antonio is skulking around in the hallway growing his beard on fast-forward, and overhearing this conversation makes him even snarlier than usual. He gets Elvira alone and tells her if she knows what’s good for her, she’ll find out the details of Pedro’s little plan and report back to him toot-sweet. “What about my dinero?” she asks. All right already, he says; I’ll do a wire transfer. But after TOMORROW, Camila is shut up in the house until the baby’s born, and I only want to see you if you’re changing diapers. What a mensch.

Elvira dashes into Camila’s room, cries some crocodile tears, apologizes for being Joan Crawford in a headband, and promises to help with the Pedro Plan. Camila appears to fall for it hook, line and sinker…but does she really tell her mother the whole story? And does Elvira really pass it all on to Antonio? Guess we’ll find out TOMORROW.


El Departamento Three-Way:

Elvira shows up to tell Rennie she’s ready to buy him out. He says he & Rita are flying out TOMORROW and she can move right in. Since they’re still married, no property transfer is necessary. She suspects a trick, but he says he’d do anything to be divorced from her. She flounces out after wishing them a lovely plane crash and death. Rennie promises Rita a whole new world of adventure and absolutely no more with the getting married.


Back at the ‘Traz:

Doctor Jaime comes back to give Don G his evening injection, and Panchito slips the brown bottle back into his maletín. After he leaves, Pancho tells the pig that he swapped the “medicine” for vitamins, and he’ll be up & around in no time. Stalwart piglet! Too bad he only uses his life-giving powers on one-celled organisms. Oh well; maybe he’ll have a chance to save a human being later.


Around town:

-        Geno and Tomás announce that they too are getting married TOMORROW, and Antonio says, “What are they putting in the food over there?”
-        Angel asks Flor to be his novia, and she gives him the capital-K Kiss.
-        Doris calls Lucas on the phone and tells him that she must marry Gregorio TOMORROW.
-        Pedro admits to Gabe and Margarito that he should probably have a Plan B in case something goes wrong. Ya think?


Setup for the Showdown:

Against all odds, it appears that TOMORROW has actually arrived, and El Tal is in a flurry of wedding preparativos. Margarito joshes with Gabriel that it is his last chance to escape, and Gabe answers that he doesn’t have anywhere to go. I think he’s joking. Pedro has gotten Sarita to make Lucrazy her madrina just to keep her out of everyone’s hair. Oh, and he’s paying for the wedding, so I guess poor Sarita figured she’d better go along with it.

All the El Tal men are looking dapper in black and white, and Lucrazy struts in wearing the skintight bright red dress with slutty side cutouts that every bride dreams of seeing on her maid of honor. Cue the bullfight music: Camila makes a grand entrance on Antonio’s arm, and the two couples flare nostrils across the room as a super-duper drumbeat of doom builds to a crescendo…

Amigos, this bodatón is gonna be OPERATIC.

Abismo de pasión #66 6/13/12: The younger villains have a bad day, Tangel-Ho better brace for the big reveal... good guys huddle and put their thinking caps on



Recap by Marta Ivett



Refritos:
Guido and Alfie conversation about Paolo and Tangel-Ho… Tangel-Ho should feel flattered that Paolo is jealous of her.  Guido is more worried about Paulo. He asks her a favor, to fire him from the procesadora.
What would you get out of that? Maybe he will want to return to Mex. And what would that mean with the offer I made you?  Guido tells her he has watched over Paulo as a parent since their parents died, if Paulo returns to Mex, he would have to go too. Alfie is not a happy camper with that response.
 
The procesa…
Dam and Flo arrive. Flo offers to stay with him, he says no need, just like there was no need for her to walk him there. Maru tells him he has a visitor waiting. Flo turns around interested.
IT’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s cry me a river Elisa!
 
lo nuevo...
 
 
Barbie, haven't you heard you should think about it before you sign on the dotted line?
Dam is very cold staring at her, she seems a bit sorry.
-You came alone? Where is Gael?... what can I do for you?
-we need to talk about my lands. Why did the works continue?
-Because there is a signed contract.
-But I don’t want anything to do with your business…
-Even if you don’t want it, we have invested money and we won’t lose that investment. You more than anyone should be interested in having the lands produce.
-In the end all of you will end up keeping the lands and everything they produce!..
-why do you say that?...
-because I know, and that’s that!
 
 
 
one of my favorite scenes of the night... where can we find diva wrestler outfits for these girls? or at least boxing gloves!! ding ding!!.
When Elisa leaves Dam’s office, Flo confronts Elisa … Flo wants to know what she talked with D…
-It was a business matter…
-I am sure D won’t return with you. he understand his place is with a woman like me, not with the daughter of the woman who killed his father!...
-(slap!) This is so you won’t talk to me like that ever again. (Slap!) And this is so you don’t mess with my mother again!
 
 
 
Talk to the hand!
At rectory, Loopy/Gael..
Gael overslept, Loopy is doing his fav pastime, having coffee and eating… Loopy mocks Gael… you went out late last night and came back late.
Maybe you have something to tell me.
Nope. I will just go to work now.
Don’t you want breakfast?
Lost my apetite!
 
 
 
next time fill out request for time and call the absence line and turn your 'out of office' on.. btw, feel free to just run out anytime.
 Inmundo at office, Paloma arrives, she is very happy.
What happened to you yesterday?
I had something urgent to do and had to run out.
You could have told me.
 I swear it wont happen again.
Did you fix the issue?
Yes! I talked to Gael… (she is ready to give him the two hour explanation but he cuts her off)
-don’t worry, I am in a hurry. Could you organize the records file? All in all, I am glad you are ok.
 
 
 
I couldn't sleep so i dont 'want anyone to sleep at my boo boo's house either!
Paolo arrives at Casa Castigo, yelling he wants to talk to Augie, he is drunk. He walks right over Lolita. Augie comes out of studio to face him.
Nothing to talk about. Leave my  house.
I wont go until we talk about your dear wife.
(Pop! Goes the sleazel)
Well Hello, Mrs Carm Bouvier. Why don’t we tell your husband what we have?
Are you crazy?
Why don’t you tell him about how many times we met alone, and made love?
 
 
 
The hacienda was the whiner hot spot for the night for sure!
At hacienda, Tonia catches Alfie heading out, heard they fired Gabino.
Nope, you heard wrong. He still works there. Vicente’s issue is solved, from now on he will work for my son.
 
Flo arrives to hacienda mad. She ran into Elisa at procesa…
she hit me! The wild one hit me!
 
 
 
Back to Casa Castigo… the argument/confrontation hot spot... the more the merrier
Guido arrives right in middle of the cock fight…
That’s enough! Paolo, get out and wait for me outside! I am sorry mr castigo for any trouble my brother caused.
I am thankful but tell your bro that next time I won’t respond.
Guido and Paolo leave, Tangel-Ho opens her excuse no’s 563 and 334 and blames it all on Paolo… Don’t worry, I don’t feel like getting it cleared up. But remember what I told you earlier, it still stands. Augie goes back to studio. Lolita just stares and nods to Tangel-Ho from wall.
 
 
 
too many chiefs, indians confused...
Dam and Chente at Dam’s office at procesadora…
Sorry, Charlie but I don’t need assistants.
It was a favor my parents asked Alfie for.
In that case I will talk to Braulio to see where we place you.
Your mother said…
My mother’s orders are not my issue.  Shouldn’t you be studying instead of working? I will let you work for me with the condition that you study in afternoon. If you want to work here you have to continue with your studies.
So you will let me be your assistant?
I already told you I don’t need an assistant, but you can be a messenger.
Chente feels offended taking it as a demotion. Chente leaves, Dam smiles.
 
 
 
back at whiner's hot spot for the night...
Flo arrives to hacienda in a huff and whines to Alfie…
That wild animal Elisa hit me! my dad should hear about this.
Alfie says no way, surely Dam will defend Elisa.
And what? We just forgive and forget and nothing happened her just like that after what she did?
Yes, you will need to keep quiet. We don’t want to re-unite Elisa with my son. Don’t complicate things, the one that might end up losing is you.
 
Guido and Paolo arrive at hacienda.
Paolo is offended at lack of support from big bro. But Guido wants to hear none of it.
-This is the last straw. You will go back to mex with me today. How far do you want to go with this lie?
-You really think it is a lie? Would you believe me so stupid to talk to her husband if it were a lie?
-Even if it were not, it is obvious you don’t matter to this woman.
-Leave me alone.
 
 
 
the aftermath debriefing after the confrontations...
Elisa arrives home mad about the confrontation with Flo. Tells Lolita about it, Flo told her Dam went back with her. Lolita already knew, Horacio had told her. Elisa questions why she did not tell her before.
-Didn’t want to hurt you. it is obvious Dam wants to forget you in another girls’ arms.
-That does not justify him! Why Flo, or at least why not wait a while?
Lolita reminds Elisa the problem (the lie about not loving Dam) is getting huge and when she wants to fix it it will be too late.
-With so many problems, this house seems like a nuthouse. When it is not one issue, its another…
-what happened now? That Paolo came to make a scandal here about Tangel-Ho and him.
Elisa impactada.
 
(first comm brk)
 
 
 
Sorry, Gael, just when you thought you were beginning to know your sister... she starts acting a bit loopy...
At Cielo abierto fields, Gael is leading the workers, Kenya arrives.. Gael greets her with a hug. She is looking for Augie.
-What are u doing here? Why ask for Don Aug?
-I was at Elisa’s and was going to invite her to eat, she asked me to take a message to her dad. Nothing else.
-yah right. Nothing else.. 
-I was going to ask you why you are in middle of the issue Elisa/Dam?
-I already told her I don’t want to play that script anymore. I am trying to take her out of my heart. I accepted Paloma.
-No, Gael, that notion of ‘one nail takes another nail out’ doesn’t work.
-Ah! ah you too are in love. Tell me who it is.
(Kenya is smiling happy that he seems to worry about her life)
-I love it.
- what?
-That you talk to me with that big brother jealousy rage.
 
 
 
Ramona the voice of conscience... love her! 
At cemetery, Ramona is at Estefie’s grave, sees Augie arrive, she tells him where the toumb is, tells him:
-Stefie must be smiling in heaven because you finally decided to come see her. It’s the first time, right?
-yup. Didn’t know besides curandera you are fortune teller.
-You are here because of the love you once felt for her.
-I found a picture of Elisa’s mom in her room…
-And you realized you haven’t forgot her.
-Haven’t forgot her betrayal. I ended up with a dry empty heart. 
-But something has changed, no?
-I have begun to feel again, to love. It feel like I am betraying her now, her the worst of women. What hurts most is that I have the certainty I won’t love any woman as I loved her. Estefie doesn’t deserve my love.
-Careful what you say, maybe one day you will regret it.
-I hope one day I will be able to forgive her.
-And if that is a hard concept, think how hard it will be to forgive yourself, because one day you will want to. One day the whole town will know Stefie was innocent of what everyone had said about her. I assure you next time you come here you will be kneeling at her toumb asking her for forgiveness.
 
 (Augie leaves, Ramona remembers the accident…and stefie’s words: I had to stop them)
 
 
 
 
Dam, please learn a little from your old pals and start using some brain cells...
At procesa, Lucio arrives. Maru tells Dam Lucio is here.
Dam happy to see him.
-How’s the drumstick?
-Leg is good now, thanks.
-I am here to talk about the contract with Elisa. Read it and came to conclusion that the procesa must comply with it.
Dam is in agreement. Elisa came by to talk about it too. Also, Alfie is in agreement, since putting the lands to produce will be good for the business of my dad.
Lucio does not understand what Alfie is getting out of it. (Lucio’s brain gears might be old but they still work) unless… it is not a simple loan…
Dam asks what he is thinking…
Lucio is sure Alfie loaned that money to Elisa in exchange for something else…
what?...
hasn’t Elisa told you anything?...
we barely talked, guess you don’t know we split. 
Why? What happened?
(Paolo is making a scandal at Maru’s desk and they hear it from inside)..
Dam and Lucio come out as Gabino is firing Paolo. Paolo turns to Dam, and tries to eat him up since he thinks it is Dam’s order, but Gab says it is orders from Alfie. 
Dam surprised Alfie wants to fire Paolo.
Paolo whines to Gab,Thought you were my friend.
Orders are orders, man!.
Go to hell! All you go to hell! (I can see Paolo walking out, telling the truck ‘And that goes for you too!!’)
Dam, Lucio and Gab are there still,
-What are you doing here, Gabino? I fired you.
-Excuse me but you  better talk to your mother.
Lucio laughs it off… we will keep talking another day.
 
 
 
 
a little surprise visit... surprised me even!...
Gael arrives at dr office … stands behind paloma. Tippy toes around her desk unnoticed. ‘IF you leave everything messy, he will fire you.’ She is so happy to see him, big hug. Gael extends Kenya’s invitation to Paloma, but Paloma is busy fixing the Dr’s files, all the records are out of order. But she won’t let him off easy…
- But if you want you can come see me tonight.
-Ok.
He leaves but first she demands a kiss goodbye.
- See you tonight.
Paloma is in la-la land.
 
 
 
orangina's bad day is not quite over yet...
Tangel-Ho in bed, depressed… Elisa comes in.
Elisa asks about the Paolo scandal, heard something from Lolita.
Elisa is not really happy with what is happening with Tangy-ho,
-It doesn’t make me happy because it affects my dad. I never liked the idea of you two married, but I would have wanted to see it work out.
Tangel-Ho accuses her of poisoning her marriage and her baby’s death since she was a kid. If the baby was not dead, things between Augie and her would be different.
-You have blamed me for it all my life. It has been many years of carrying that guilt.
Tangel-Ho repeats her accusation recording..
-no, you don’t know how much I would have wanted to have a little brother. And what I would have given to have him here now. And don’t blame me for his death and for the life you have led.
-So easy to say that, you wanted a little brother and I wanted a son. No, you have not suffered what I have. …
-I only know what my dad’s life has been like at your side. In any case, the only one to blame for her disgrace, is you, tia. You tangled him up and confused him until he married you, but he never stopped loving my mother, because not you nor anyone will get her out of his heart. …
-(the wounded animal still has some fight left in her) If it were true, why does your dad have a lover at this time in his life?
-lover? no, my dad has no lover…
- It is the talk of the whole town. …
-you know I don’t care about the latest cover story of the Ermita enquirer…
-you are so stupid, don’t even realize one of your ‘amigas’ is in bed with your dad…
-you always blame everyone else, because you can’t accept your own errors…
-it is Kenya, you stupid…
-leave Kenya in peace, how can you think of her…
-you need to open your eyes, realize what happens around you once and for all!
 
 
 
Kenya the stalker... going after her prey in public?
Kenya finds Augie in middle of town square… She wants to hug him telling him not to avoid her anymore, he tries to shake her off him… he realizes people are looking at them… she keeps saying she loves him, - I like you as a woman but I can’t love you, can’t love anyone!...
Augie is trying to shake her off him so violently, Gael comes to them..
-Don Augie! Let go my sister! What is going on here?
(comm brk)
 
 
 
Back at Dr office…
Nancy Drew-wanna be finds a clue...
Paloma is still working on the patient files, runs into the one for Carmina…… she at first resists, but can’t help it but open it. She must have found something amusing enough, from her facial expression.
Ramona walks in and catches her with her hands on the dough…
-I came to the market and figured I would stop by to check out your workplace.
Paloma visibly scared.
-I noticed you got scared when I came in.
-I was just distracted.
-no, you got scared, as if I had caught you doing something wrong.
-I was just filing away some records. And ran into Elisa’s aunt’s record… hey, grannie, do you remember the exact date when Stefie died? ..
-yes, why.
-Because according to this record, Dr Tovar said Carmina was pregnant right after Stefie died, but that was well before Carmina got married.
 
 
 
Big bro realizes he might have a stalker for a sis... 
Back outside at plaza, Gael asks Kenya and Augie What is going on. He seems a bit miffed now… Was Augie bothering Kenya? Kenya jumps in Augie’s defense, says she was asking him about Elisa and Dam. Augie follows her lead, gets a bit irritated and says Kenya has no right to meddle in my daughter’s business… all but orders Kenya to leave that matter alone… Augie leaves. Gael stares at Kenya  suspicious.
 
 
 
Ramona keeps putting the puzzle together...
Back at Dr Tovar… Paloma says Augie was such a two-faced jerk… he was acting so offended about Stefie’s death but he was already sleeping with her sister (hold the presses!! Wasn’t Paloma only 9 or 10 years old? She seems to have a great memory then)…
Ramona is mad at her
-Don’t talk to anyone about this.
Ramona takes a few steps away.
Paloma tells Ramona that she and Gael are dating..
We see that Ramona feels herself out of breath…
-Did you hear me? …
-yes, we will talk later…
Ramona leaves, Paloma mumbles: I have a strange grandma.
 
 
 
Kenya took the cookie from the cookie jar! Couldn't be!
At Casa Castigo kitchen, Elsa tells Lolita that Kenya and dad have something going on. Lolita laughs at the thought. That is crazy! Sorry but your aunt comes up with some stories! Elisa had asked Kenya and Kenya assured her there was nothing between them. Lolita says Tangel-Ho is crazy to confront Kenya. Elisa is sorry for TangelHo, dad has never loved her. Lolita wonders how Augie has tolerated her so long. Elisa is wondering how true is the Kenya story. Lolita says Tagel-Ho would lever allow it. Elisa is sure that the only woman her dad has loved and will ever loved is her mom. Lolita agrees with Elisa.
 
 
 
 
 
Don't worry Brau, i will teach Chente some toughness... but neither of us has figured he is a chip off the old block
 
Dam/Braulio at procesa… Dam tells Bra Chente will work in afternoon with the condition he will study in the mornings.  Braulio surprised Chente agreed. You all owe my mom the favor. Brau was concerned while Chente was Gab’s assistant. Btw, Gab won’t leave. He still has my mom’s support. Brau content with seeing Chente away from Gab.
Meanwhile we see Gab and Chente buddying up. Gab laughs that Chente will get his salary cut in half. Chente wanted to work for Gab, not Dam. And the worst is will have to go back to school. Give me a hand.  Gab refuses, … welllll…. unless you want to win money working for me, unofficially… very quietly.
Those two share a sneaky smirk smile…
 
 
 
Alfie has found a new target to whine at and talk down to... will Guido take this for long? Isn't he a bit old to allow her to manipulate him?
At hacienda, Alfie is reprimanding Guido for talking to Augie… you are worrying about those folks too much. Guido sorry for what Paolo could be doing to them, Alfie asks what if Paolo is telling the truth? It is those women and their reputation. Guido says besides Tangel-Ho what he is worried is what could happen to Paolo, what Elmer Fudd could do to him. Remember what happened with Dam. Yup, that is true. Augie has always been violent… angry Paolo comes in, confronts Alfie about firing him from procesa.  Guido defends Alfie. Paolo yells at him: if you think you will make me go back to Mex, you are wrong, I will go back whenever I feel like it!
Alfie stops Guido from following Paolo.
 
 
 
Advance confession... what a concept!...I am about to do something REALLY explosive that will open a HUGE old can of worms!...
At church, Ramona goes to see padre… reminds him what she had talked to him righ after Stefie’s death, reminds him at the time she thought Stefie was riding in Rosie’s car by mistake. (poor padre is in such a tough spot here… but he hides it very well) Padre confirms he remembers that. Ramona says ‘then I came to ask for advanced forgiveness(what a concept!!), what I will do now is serious. I am about to unmask the real woman who should have been in that car. I will talk to Augie to tell him who was really Rosie’s lover… I will tell him it was his own wife, Carmina Bouvier.
… Credits roll…
 
Previews:
Augie: SHUT UP Carmina!!
Carm: (in front of Elisa) Didn’t I catch you kissing Kenya?
Flo and Dam plan wedding…
Seems Kenya arranges a meeting with Dam… but is she really arranging a meeting of Dam and Elisa?

Refugio Para el Amor #27-28 Wed 6/13/12

Well, Friends, it looks like there's no end in sight for the 2-hour episodes! I have an awfully hard time staying awake enough through two hours of this "stuff" to write a recap afterwards!

In fair Mexico, where we lay our scene, Pat gets a little field-trip when Rod hoists him awkwardly down the spiral staircase to see Luciana (thereby getting around Rosalena's decree that he stay away from Luci). He drops his brother off and makes himself scarce, but not before receiving the ugly clay heart she made the other night while thinking of him. It must be special Indian clay, because it's looking pretty solid for not having been fired in a kiln or even given time to dry. Also, Jana and her friend are in this scene, but they don't contribute anything of interest. Anyway, Pat wants a few words with Luci in private. He explains that his mom doesn't necessarily hate her, but rather is jealous of the girl's importance to her son. Then he explains that he really wants Luci to be with him, but only if she does it freely. He tries to ask her an "important question," but chickens out and mutters something about how much she means to him.

Maximino, meanwhile is sipping wine with his young bud and fretting about the risk of his affair (which one?) coming to light.

Linares is at the Church, finding out that maybe his daughter isn't quite as dead-and-buried as was previously assumed. He plugs the guy working the graveyard desk-job for info, which cannot be found.

Frigida, for her part leaps at the chance to tattle on everyone for the little field trip downstairs., the instant Rosalena comes home. She makes that smug face she always makes.

Now it's Rosalena's moment to "act" (as in, a melodramatic display of over-performance that could only come from an actress determined to show strong emotion). Everything is going to hell! Not even her children respect her wishes! Matilde tries to defuse her ("at least they're in your house, right?"). But Rosalena just freezes like a deer in headlights and shows the camera just how wide and teary she can become. She blames herself for that business of Linares' daughter, whatever that means.

If you make a clay heart, it means you're in love. So what are we to take from the fact that Luci is now making some cruddy little vases? Is she dreaming of keeping flowers fresh?  She's an ok sculptor, but her true strength is in how she manages to make all this pottery without getting her bed or room messy. Frigida pops in and threatens her some more. Ho-hum.

And it's STILL A FULL MOON IN MEXICO!

Gala overhears Rod talking about how little he wants to get married. They is some scary muisic, even though she already knows how he feels about the wedding. He tells his buddy there's no other lady, he just doesn't love Gala (though he's too much of a wimp to confront her again without sleeping with her.). He's 100% sure. Once she has heard enough, Gala strides in and humiliates herself some more by exercising her powers of denial and rubbing herself all over Rod.

Lastro calls up to threaten Luci. Matilde thinks she should ask Pat or Rod for protection, but she really doesn't want anyone to know that she once worked at el infierno.. She asserts that she cannot ask the boys for help, especially not Rod!

Maximino is beginning to develop an idea about the lost child of Linares - the kid's age would be just right. right. He also grumbles some more about the fraud. He sees himself as the victim and Linares the villain.

In a brief but enjoyable interlude, we are treated to the delightful sight of Violeta dancing terribly in her new sexy devil outfit and singing something.

Rod is releasing his anger at the punching bag, and Gala comes in to refresh him and to act even more needy! God, Rod is weak!

Rosalena yells at Luci some more. Blah. Frigida makes that smug face again! She has Luci come out to receive and wait on Gala, just to torture the poor girl. There is an interminable scene here where they badmouth Luci, and Gala gushes about how much Rod "loves" her and "can't bear to be without her." Frigida intercepts an airmail for Luci from a courier on motorcycle.

Later, in private, Gala begs Rosalena for help! She needs to keep Rod, and wants some mommy-manipulation to seal the deal.

The world-business mag has a story about Torreslanda fraud, and an odd cover. Max says "this means war!" Linares released the story to the press.


Back at the house, Frigida gets a-snooping into Luci's letter! But we don't find out what's inside. The big cliff-hanger is that Max shows up at Linares' for a confrontation. Also, according to the advances, the wedding is tomorrow!

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.
