Caray, Caray!

Ok, maybe it's me but this episode just pithed me off. It didn't help that there were NO English subtitles so I was unable to fall back on them during the important conversations (and there were only like, what, two of them...maybe?)

Lo Refrito
BANG!
Horacio: You are so screwed.
Carmina: No I'm not, you are. Ooo! Paper! Note from Kenia! Wait, we do have a way out. I'll keep my mouth shut and you keep your mouth shut.

Dam: Break up with Pal. You've got the road open for Elisa.
Gael: Dude. I broke up with Pal about four episodes ago.

Lo Nuevo the Short Version

• Carmina and Horacio get their stories straight. He was helping her move to Begonia's. Too bad Gael saw them drive off and can verify that she was NOT gone "all afternoon."
• Chente goes crash with Paolo's Phallocycle. Escuincle Baboso needs a kidney transplant. Tonia is gonna be screwed.
• Padre and Gael talk really fast. I'm pretty sure Gael's synapses are starting to fire and he's wondering why Padre has always insisted that Gael and Dam be best buds.
• ToadHead's body is discovered and Elisa wails and irritates all of Viewerville.
• Carmina mentions ToadHead shooting himself before she's supposed to know how he died. Ooops. Elisa yells and demands to know how she knew that.

Seriously. That's really it. But if you insist on details:
Lo Nuevo in Detail
In Which Flashbacks and FF>> Opportunities Abound (Not necessarily as aired. I did some condensing)

• Quique kvetches to Doc Dad about Sabrina's relationship with Paolo. The other girls the Italian Stallion has knows were experienced (code for sluts), but Sabrina is innocent. She could really get hurt. Doc Dad agrees to talk to Begonia. As he leaves, Quique asks Pal to go to the movies with him. Doc, the greatest freaking boss ever, grants Pal the rest of the day off. He'll take care of the filing she never does. 
• ING interrupts Doc's filing to tell him she'll be at a restaurant in Mérida around 8. He should meet her there. Later in the episode we see the stands her up. He tried to tell her he was going to be busy dealing with a family problem but ING wouldn't listen.
• Elisa sits under a tree and flashesback to one of her last conversations with Dad in which she tells him she and Dam will never work and ToadHead tells her he just wants her happy. Lolita arrives to tell her that Papá has sent for her.
• Guido calls Flor from jail. Quique isn't paying the bills anymore. Flor tells him not to worry. She and Dam are back together and he'll be paying the legal fees. They're getting married in two weeks! And since Fina is so worried about appearances, she'll make sure you're out for the wedding. Guido warns Flor about marrying a man whose mother will always be butting into the marriage. Flor and Guido hang up as Fina and Dam arrive. Dam assures Flor Guido will be at the wedding...his mom will take care of that. Flor smirks. Fina flicks the fan.
• Sabrina and Paolo snog in the plaza. She gets a craving and Paolo goes to get a snack. Chente (now fully bandanahanded) macks on Sabrina. Paolo comes up and calls him an escuincle baboso and runs him off.  Chente steals and crashes the Phallocycle. Lolita screams. Paolo is pithed...his moto has been trashed again!
• Carmina and Horacio have the truck all packed. Carmina tells him that they are to say that he came to help her move all her crap to the Tovar's and they were gone all afternoon. They never saw ToadHead. They drive off, unaware that Gael has seen them leaving. He rings the bell but no one answers.
• Chente is unconscious in the street. The folks with heart call for an ambulance and a doctor. Paolo gripes about his moto. At home, Doc and Begonia are discussing the Sabrina. Begonia thinks Paolo is an ok guy since he has the Carmina Orange Seal of Approval. All that rapey snake business was Elisa's fault. Doc is pretty sure that it's a bunch of bunk since the whole world knows Carmina hates Elisa. Begonia lets him know that Carmina will be staying with them since she is having marital problems. The Ho arrives on cue and thanks Doc. Doc reminds her that it is HIS house and he doesn't want her there. If he has to, he'll say exactly why. Begonia is confused, but  Quique and Pal arrive just before the can of beans and worms gets opened. Doc is needed at the Centro de Salud.  
• Gael ponders why Elisa didn't tell Damián that they weren't hermanos and flashes back: to a young Gael preparing for a funeral and being told he has the OBLIGATION of saying good-bye to Rosendo. Padre comes home. Gael asks him why it is so important he and Damián be together on tragic occasions...like burying his sister; like when Rosendo died. Gael reminds Padre that he told him that is was his DUTY to say good bye to Rosendo. Padre says it's because Rosendo paid for his schooling. Things get heated (that's code for I had trouble understanding and the Spanish CCs are crap.) Padre thinks Gael is accusing him of keeping secrets. Gael says Padre didn't tell him about Dam's upcoming wedding nor did anyone tell Dam that Elisa is not his sister.
• Chente is not dead. Doc Tovar explains that Chente's kidney is injured and there is internal bleeding. A transplant will be needed because this was the most convenient way to out Tonia about the Gab business. Of course, Brau is ready to sign up for testing because Chente is his son. Tonia insists on being tested too, you know...just in case. She is so screwed.
• Elisa and Lolita arrive home and the wailing begins. It grates on my nerves. I ain't recapping this hot mess.
• Maru and Lucio return from their dinner date. He is embarrassed because she had to pay. He left his wallet. Maru finds the wallet between the cushions. She drops it as she hands it to him.The both reach down. Sparks, but no contact. They are interrupted by a phone call. It's Lolita telling him that Toad is dead
• Begonia is indignant. Carmina is not the one who should have been thrown out. It should have been Toad. Carmina claims she hasn't seen Toad since the day before.
• Padre and Gael talk fast (remember the code.) Padre talks about Dam and Flor. He fusses about Gael and Paloma. How would Gael feel seeing Pal with some other guy? Gael claims nothing would happen. Gael leaves in a huff. I need help with this conversation.
• Quique and Paloma are strolling the plaza now that the Chente emergency is under control. Quique admits there was a time he was prejudiced (predispuesto) against her 'cause of gossip.  Pal messes with Quique and says she felt the same way at one time. She talks him into buying her a snack, but we'll never know about it because it was edited. QTH? Was the female vendor topless? They run into Dam and Flor. Flor brags about getting married soon and says she'll invite Pal. Pal says she doesn't go to weddings that are doomed for failure. Almost girl fight. Quique admits it upsets him that Flor is marrying. Pal can't catch a break from any guy.
• Elisa won't leave her Papito's side. Lucio manages to drag her away while she wails and screams. He takes note of the gun, the note from Kenia and a bag. Horacio arrives on the scene and recites his alibi to Lucio as Carmina instructed. Lucio calls Carmna at Begonia's. Carmina pushes until Lucio tells her Augusto died. Carmina acts surprised. Begonia goes with her to the house.
• In her bedroom, Elisa wails some more. Elisa figures Lolita was sent to fetch her so he could say good bye. Elisa thinks Toad must have killed himself because he felt he was responsible for Kenia's death.
• Dam tells Flor she didn't need to be so rude to Pal. Flor starts to figure out that Dam is not as happy about the wedding as he should be. She accuses him of wanting to keep it secret. Dam really doesn't answer that question.
• Carmina arrives and hugs Lucio. She plays the role of grieving widow. She wants to be with Augusto, but Horacio tells her the authorities are there. That stops Carmina in her tracks. Lucio  tells her that Toad killed himself (se quitó la vida.) They roll out the body. Carmina wants to know where they are taking him and Lucio tells her there has to be an autopsy. It's the law. Carmina says it's clear he shot himself with the rifle and why can't they just let him rest in peace. Ruh roh, Lucio never told her HOW Toad died. Just that he killed himself. Elisa arrives for one more round of screaming: How did you know he shot himself if you weren't even here?? Answer me!!!!!!!!!! Yeah. Whatever. Nothing is going to happen. There are too many episodes. left.

We open with our heroine Helena at the cemetery. A strange guy in a hoody (Juan Carlos, now JC) is lurking behind trees. She has flowers for him because it's his birthday. Along comes another woman, and another, one leaves a red bra on his tombstone, the aunt of one of them comes along (she also was one of JC's conquests).

Here comes a batch of mariachis accompanying a couple drunk women, one in a fur coat, they call themselves JC's courtesans and say "He shared with all but gave his heart to none."

Heroine, who's been watching this in amazement, says "That guy deceived all of us, he just deserves to be forgotten." Dozens more women arrive as the mariachis wail. Behind the tree JC whispers: "Helena, you are the only one I've ever loved. When will you forgive me?"

MONTHS EARLIER...

In Acapulco: JC pulls up in a nice car and a nice white suit. The Grand Resort hotel is opening, joint project with a US firm. Reporters swarm him - he blabs smoothly, then grabs one of them and makes an appointment for later.

With his buds Santiago y Fernando by the pool, all three are ogling. One sidekick is married so he's sad looking at the unavailable fruit. JC says to the other: "don't ruin your life, there's time to get away from her, jeez, you already smell married." Then: "Remember our code: no very young women; old women and single mothers don't exist." JC wants his own children, not somebody else's.

"A goddess" arrives in a red dress. JC moves in and though his line is very crappy, she takes a look at him and immediately accompanies him into the empty hotel where they proceed to make out against a wall...

... while her FIANCE, an old gringo dude, turns out to be boss of the US company and is signing papers to join his gringo $$$ to Grupo Imperio... He says his future wife is "The ideal woman: young, beautiful and only opens her mouth when necessary."

While bragging about the up-to-the-moment security of the hotel, they turn on the closed-circuit tv feed and JC's groping with the affianced goddess is shown to all, with the result that the old gringo dude tears up the contract and leaves snarling, "You'll be hearing from my lawyers."

In Mexico City: In her son Lalito's bedroom, Helena practices a presentation on her six-year project, the eco-touristic Majagua Beach.

She lives with her parents. Her dad has been grouchy with her for years - I think he'd like to charge her rent. He scolds her for a marriage that left her with debts. He hands her a hefty private school bill she has to pay. He says nobody will pay attention to a project created by a woman. Helena's mother is nicer.

Turns out Helena had an appointment today - made three months earlier - with JC himself - to discuss her project! But he's in Acapulco... She sits down to wait, and she waits and waits, but then she gets a call from her friend at the hotel where she works - she's needed. She leaves her notebooks with the G.I. secretary saying, "This is my entire life, put these right in JC's hand." She leaves.

Moments later, of course, Adriano Reyes the boss re-arrives from Acapulco after the shattered deal, followed by everybody (the evil Plutarco, JC's buddies, JC, etc). The secretary gives Helena's notebooks to JC and he immediately tosses them in the trash on his way in to his boss's office. Because no project cooked up by a woman could be any good.

The boss yells at him and says, "Unless you come up with a project as good as the one you just ruined with your skirt-chasing, you're fired and so are your buddies."

Behind the hotel desk, Helena fixes something very efficiently for a guy connected with the Canadian "Alberta Trouble Company" [sic]. Impressed, he says she's over-qualified for her job and hints he might have something for her (his business is in competition with Grupo Imperial)

Later she goes home and her son (who is not horrid so far) reminds her that if her project is a success they will be able to buy a house and a dog.

In the hot tub: Plutarco and his girlfriend play wet footsie. He is married to Antonia (the plus-sized sister of big boss Adriano Reyes, himself a sexist skirt-chaser), whom his girlfriend calls "the manatee." Antonia calls him and he goes home briefly (after all, she IS the boss's sister). She is dressed in lingerie. There are sadly going to be a lot of fat jokes. Plutarco spurns her and goes, I guess, back to the hot tub, where he plots with his girlfriend to kick JC while he's down.

In a big house somewhere: JC goes to see his mother Eugenia who was in the theater and now has memory problems. She says she can fix his woes.

Finally: Helena gets a phone call from Grupo Imperial and goes in. She think's it's JC calling her in to discuss her project, but instead it is Rebeca Oropeza, who mocks her for thinking she could see such an august personage as JC: "He doesn't have time for you. But he left this for you. You're fired."

I've lost track of what chapter we're on. Was today 54 and 55??

'Nando, Isa and Manuela
Manuela and Ceci  crash a celebratory dinner thrown by Zoe (who's living with Felipe now.) Manuela proposes a toast to her new job at 'Nando's company. 'Nando drops the "I'm not hiring you" bomb. Manuela runs off to the bathroom to freak out. Ceci and Felipe think 'Nando was harsh. Zoe was fine with it.  Manuela spends the rest of the episode playing emotional blackmail. In a flashback we find out that she does have a history of deep depression and trastornos emocionales (emotional disorders) and that she feels like Sofia "took what was hers"; however, IMHO she is faking it for most of this episode. Because of Manuela's history, Horty is able to guilt 'Nando into hiring her (Isa helps to guilt him into it when she hears about Manuela's past and how much Manuela's disorder intruded on his marriage.) Manuela also plays Ceci like a Stradivarius.

Willy, Lucía and Beba
Beba continues to dream of her wedding with Willy. Horty tells Jorge about this "wedding" and her concerns that Beba is being taken advantage of. Willy calls it off with Beba and tells him he's madly in love with another woman. This breaks Beba's heart and she hits him with a vase and knocks him out. He recovers quickly. Willy really did seem repentant...thoughts? Opinions?

Later, Beba goes to visit Lucia. Willy also visits Lucia and tells her he wants to introduce her to his mom as his pre-novia. Beba overhears Lucia and Willy talking marriage (Lucia talks him into waiting and he respects that.) Beba gets very upset and in heart attack moment #1 Viewerville thinks Beba is going to tell all. She doesn't. Lucia, still misreading the situation tells Beba that true love will come knocking on her door one day.

Willy goes to Beba's house again and begs forgiveness again. Beba says she'll forgive him IF he confesses his past to Lucia. Willy says he will, but by the end of the episode he still hadn't.

Barbell (Thanks, Julia!), Marisogullible and Knuckles
Barbell is hanging out with Knuckles and talking to Mari-so-dumb on the phone.  She is still feeding Mari-so-pitiful the ol' "Juancho is still pithed" line of bull. Barbell swears she'll keep working on behalf of Mari-so-stupid. Barbell hangs up and tells Kuckles she's doing her part to keep them apart, what is Knuckles contributing? I can't remember what he said and I forgot to make a note.

Jorge the Tool
Makes his mother think he'll be staying a little longer 'cause he loves her, but really it's just to keep his nose in her business. Jorge gets his thugs to kidnap Willy. They bring him to a secret location. Jorge threatens Willy's family and then the thugs beat Willy up and leave him in the dirt. After this little chore, Jorge heads to Isa's for a late night visit. He tells her how worried he is about people taking advantage of his mother. The next day he sends flowers to Isa's office. Can we say d*****bag on this blog?

Leo and G-mina
G-mina has decided to give Leo his tranquilizante* every 6 hours instead of every 8. Leo spends the rest of the episode loopy and sounding drunk. G-mina's plan is to get him to sign documents which I assume will give her all the money. He manages to call Isa and slur to her, but G-mina catches him and hangs up. Isa rushes over, convinced that something is up. G-mina had Leo hidden in, you guessed it....the closet. This was definitely not funny.
*would mean tranquilizer or anti-anxiety med? Pharmacist hub and I discussed this and he thinks with high blood pressure an anti-anxiety would be prescribed. Are we expecting too much of the TN medical community?

Heart attack moments #2 and #3
There was a scene with Lucia and Reina (and Reina's MC Hammer pants) and they were looking at a house with a Realtor. I missed exactly what Lucia said, but the Realtor seemed to indicate that Lucia's word was good as gold. Feel free to fill in my blanks, but I got a "something is going to go wrong" vibe. Heart attack moment #2 was when Lucia called Beba while she was eating lunch with Jorge. I thought for sure Beba was going to go back on her word (Heart attack #2 and how silly of me! Beba would never do that.) Then I thought for sure Jorge was going to be a putz about the money (Heart attack #3.) So far he's not.

The That's So Creepy Award goes to...
Whoever obliterated the "de Lobo" from Sofía's tombstone. Who could have possibly done that???

The Hubba Hubba Award goes to...
For the scene when Willy takes off his shirt for some medical care from Lucia. It ends in a kiss that is interrupted by Lala. I laughed out lout when Willy tried to cover himself.

Part I- Recap by Madelaine

Mexico City:

Rod is served the divorce demand by Lic Barrerra. He tells Rod that Luci wants to divorce him. Max comes in and wants to know what Lic Claudio Linares' associate is doing there. Lic Barrerra tells Max it is nothing to do with him, but with Rod, he gave Rod a document. Max wants to know what type of document? Rod tells Max that Claudio is Luci's lawyer. Rod tells Max that Luci sent a demand for divorce. Max is surprised. Oscar has come by and Max tells him to take charge of Rod's problem. Rod is starting to introduce Oscar to Lic Barrerra but Oscar says he already knows him. He met him in Claudio Linares' office. Oscar is handed the document and Oscar is shocked to see it is a demand for divorce. Rod says he knows what it is. Rod tells Oscar that Luci wants the divorce, with no drama, and right away. Oscar is completely shocked!

Magda, Paz, Ariche and Vio are all with Luci at Vio's and Ariche is asking after Rod. Luci is saying well he isn't here. Paz is sitting drinking water cause she is trying to get over the shock that Lorenzo is in the hoosegow. Vio takes Ariche off to get a treat with Marianita. Paz now turns to Luci and wants the why and how of how Lorenzo ended up in the hoosegow. Luci tells Paz about how Lorenzo took money that didn't belong to him and gave it to a client that needed it. It was 30,000 pesos . Paz is crying along with Magda by this time and now Paz is very pithed. Paz just can't beleive that Lorenzo is a thief, especially 30,000 pesos worth, this family is not a family of thieves, Magda is trying to calm Paz down, and Paz says thank goodness Galindo is dead, cause if he wasn't he would die of the shame. Luci cries. Paz is grabbing Luci and wants to know where Lorenzo is being held. Paz wants some face to face time with Lorenzo. Luci tells her she won't be able to see him till tomorrow and Magda echoes this. Paz says they've only been in the D.F. a short time, and look what they found. She can't beleive it and she wants to know why Luci never said anything.

Aldo is in the hallway and catches up with Rod. Aldo wants to know if Rod talked to Max about Don Jer returning to work. Rod admits he did but the decision is up to Max, if he rehires Don Jer. Aldo says Vicky will feel much better if her Papa comes back to work there. Rod tells him to stay away from Vicky and that Aldo caused this mess. Rod doesn't have time right now, but wants to talk to Aldo later about something serious. Aldo goes and Oscar is now chasing Rod down the hall. He informs Rod that Lastra is supposedly taking care of the Lorenzo matter, manana. Oscar also begs Rod to forgive him for being nosy but why the divorce? There was something said about family and little by little something I didn't get. Someone please fill in.

Het Het:

Theo sees Copio all sad and in the dumps and wants to know what's wrong. He finds out Don A has fired poor Copio. Theo can't beleive it. Neither can Copio cause Don A was like his Papa. Copio thinks it is the end.

Don A is going through a ton of paperwork on his desk and doesn't like what Copio did. He is blaming all his problems on Copio and Dona Luchita.

Don A is putting up help wanted posters around the wall in town. Copio sees them and is way upset.

Mexico City:

Mati is in Rosa's bedroom and wants to know if Rosa wants something to eat. Rosa has a sleep mask on her face and tells Mati she wants nothing. She is telling Mati her head hurts (I bet after all that lying and desecrating, jus' sayin'). Mati wants to know if this has to do with Claudio, Rosa says no that isn't it. Mati then says whatever you say. Rosa tells Mati she doesn't want anyone to disturb her rest. Mati says ok and goes. Rosa takes a pill, lays back down with that sleep mask and curls up in the fetal position under a blanket and it appears she is trying to make herself as small as possible.

Vio is visiting Estella. She informs Dona Estella that Paz knows all about Lorenzo now, but not that Luci is divorcing Rod. Estella thinks that Luci should just tell her Mama all. Vio says she is worried about herself too, cause her Moms thinks she is a nurse, when in fact Vio works at the antro. Estella wants to know what Vio is going to do. Vio says she doesn't know.

Now we have Rosa the Pious (gag) on her knees in front of Jesus, begging for forgiveness for the 1,000 time. (Note to Rosa, Jesus is not listening to you, he's done, the lord of hellfire is waiting for you, jus' sayin'). She is repenting and has her rosary clutched in her cold hands. She is begging for forgiveness for what she has done to Claudio. She is pleading with Dios to forgive her, over and over again. Max comes in and asks her why is she talking to Dios? Max wants to know why she isn't talking to Max cause she's got some 'splaining to do. He'll wait for her in the library. He goes and she is still on her knees begging Dios to forgive her.

Oscar has gone to Claudio's office. He wants to know why the demand of divorce from Luci. He says he knows Claudio is in charge of the case. Oscar tells Claudio, his client, DEAD TO ME ROD, wants this divorce as soon as possible. Claudio says Luci wants that too. Oscar has a suggestion for Claudio. He says what if Rod and Luci meet, have some alone time, to maybe kiss and makeup? Oscar says he has never seen a guy so in love before as Rod is with Luci. So Claudio says so you beleive in Rod cause he is Max's son, that's right, right? Oscar says he just wants the two to have some alone time, to have the opportunity to talk and then if they still want the divorce to proceed. Claudio tells Oscar he doesn't know about that cause Luci has a broken heart and is grief stricken. She will want the divorce.

Rosa has made it to the library. Max has his back to her, but you can tell he is pretty pithed off. He tells him she's here, she's listening. Max finally turns around and wants to know why she was with Claudio? Rosa says she wanted to tell Claudio about his daughter, now you know.

Magda is making dinner and Paz and Luci are talking. Luci says she didn't want to tell her Mama about Lorenzo cause she didn't want to worry her. Paz wants to know when she was going to tell her. And now Paz wants to know what Rod thinks of his BIL being a thief? Luci tries to explain again, Lorenzo did this for a friend. Paz is so not having that. Nothing justifies what Lorenzo did. Magda tells Paz tommorrow is another day, please be calm. Magda is making carnitas. Paz says excuse me Magda but nothing is good, she is very upset. Vio and Serena pick this time to come into the house dressed as nurses! Vio informs her Mama she is off to work! Luci is so shocked she has to sit down. Vio is giving Luci the look like, don't say a word, not one word. Magda is very proud.

Rosa and Max continue their discussion in the library. So Max says oh, so your suffering is based on Claudio, when in fact it is based on Luci. Rosa tells him Claudio hates him for sending him to the hoosegow, lo these twenty years. Max then says, oh you think you're a saint, but you are a liar cause you know very well Luci is Claudio's daughter. She says, I think , she feels bad for her crime against Claudio but she just can't tell him. Max says he didn't know his Rosa had turned into the enemy, her crazed love for her son has caused this divorce of Luci and Rod. He says he or Rod will never forgive her. She can't beleive it and wants to know if it's true, really true. Max tells her Rod and Luci are going before the judge tomorrow to get a divorce. Max goes. Rosa is shocked for half a second and then is all happy, happy, joy, joy, and says por fin (finally). Rod and Luci will be seperated. That's not wrong. Now that woman is finally going to be seperated from our lives. Rosa is smiling again, saying por fin.

Back to Vio's and Magda is asking Vio if she doesn't need something? Vio says she doesnt' need it and Serena is a nurse too. Serena introduces herself to Magda. Magda gives Vio the blessing and insists on giving Serena one too. Luci is staring at this the whole time and says not one word. Serena thanks Magda and says now they will be protected. Serena is looking uncomfortable.

Pato is in his bed having a little convo with Hanna and Melissa. They tell Pato that Rod would not listen to them about Luci. He wouldn't beleive the truth. Pato, bless his very intelligent brain, says Gala engineered this whole mess, to seperate Luci and Rod. Hanna says not only her, but Julie, Rosa, and Lastra. Pato tells them Rosa has always hated Luci and there was noone there to defend Luci! Pato is pithed. Rod picks this time to come into the room. Hanna and Missy turn their backs on him. Rod welcomes Pato back home and kisses his forehead, as Pato is giving Rod the stink eye. Pato asks Rod what in the sam hell is going on!

Oscar and Conny are in a cellar type bar, having a great time. They are having a drink and talking about Rod and Luci. Conny can't beleive that Rod and Luci are divorcing. Oscar tells Conny it wasn't Rod and Luci's fault, but that others caused this to seperate them. Oscar tells Conny his suggestion about Rod and Luci having some alone time to talk, and maybe reconcile. Conny thinks Rod is confused. Oscar is complimenting Conny and wishes that Luci and Rod could be calm, like them. Oscar asks Conny when they can, I think BE together, Conny giggles. They are smooching now, when they are interrupted by, wait for it, Gala and her posse. Gala is grinning from ear to ear and Oscar and Conny are, sigh, not pleased.

Vio and Serena have arrived at Inferno still in their nurses' uniforms. Ivan is having one big yuk about that. Ivan wants to know if it is fantasy of one of the clients that they are dressed this way. Vio explains that her Moms thinks she is a nurse and so she had to dress like this so her Moms could see. Lastra comes out too and has a big yuk and says oh, Lorenzo is a thief, Luci is a rat, and Vio is a liar. Vio tells Lastra that Rod should have put him in the hospital. Serena reminds Lastra she is *actually* a nurse. Lastra just laughs. Ivan I think, has a thing for Serena.

Hanna and Melissa make themselves scarce while Rod and Pato have their confrontation. Pato starts right in on Rod about the divorce. Rod tells him Luci is the one that wants the divorce. Pato says that Luci adores Rod, why would she file for divorce? Pato wants to know why Rod didn't defend Luci. Luci wants nothing to do with Rod, she wants the divorce.

Rosa is on the phone with Julie. Julie tells Rosa she's been thinking about her all day. Rosa wants to know if Gala is with her. Julie says no, she is out with her friends, but I'm here so tell me, what's goin' on? Rosa is telling Julie, finally, (Rod has come into Rosa's room, but she hasn't seen him) that servant and Rod are divorcing, finally seperated and that it's great! Rod grabs that phone, hangs it up and hurls it like Sergio Sendel against the wall. Rosa tells Rod she is sorry, but its good Luci is going. Rosa, in her pious mode, says one day Rod will forgive her. Rod tells Rosa since she seperated him from Luci, he is seperating himself from Rosa. He goes and Rosa is so shocked she has to sit down. She has a mad look, as in insane, in her eyes.

Meanwhile Max has returned to the library to make a call on his cell. He is calling Vicky, who seems to be somewhat releived he is calling. She tells him Don Jer is sad, but ok. Max tells her to shut up and listen carefully. He wants a meet with her tomorrow, be on time and don't stand him up. He wants to have a serious convo with her. He hangs up on her. Vicky is upset.

Back to that cellar bar and Gala is asking something about why Julie isn't with them. Oscar says he and Conny are now in a formal relationship. Gala asks if it bothers them, she and her posse joined them. They say no. Gala's cell phone rings and its, wait for it, Julie of course, who informs Gala about the Luci/Rod divorce. Julie has the usual champagne in her hand, and tells Gala their plan worked. And the divorce is happening manana! Gala (gag, we should call her Gagme) says it is the best news of her life, eva. She hangs up. Oscar and Conny want to know what good news. Gala says that Rod and that domestica (drink) are divorcing. Conny says oh, so finally you managed to seperate Rod and Luci, congrats, you must be very happy, while Conny looks like she wants to hurl all over Gagme. Valentina (bless her sweet heart, this girl should NOT be on team Gagme) says oh, but Luci is so nice, Gabe told me so. Well, Fernanda and Gala are so not having that so they feed Valentina a cookie, lol. Gala says now this ridiculous marriage is at an end! Oscar says life is funny and mysterious. Conny tells Gagme she must be so very happy. Gagme says the happiest of all is Rosa, who is very tranquil now and that Gagme and her posse are going now. Gagme congrats Oscar and Conny for being novios and she takes her leave. Oscar remarks he can't stand Gagme.

Luci is at Estella's taking a call from Claudio. She asks about Lorenzo when will he be free? Claudio is hoping soon. Claudio is working on that. He also says he called about the divorce proceeding. He says she and Rod will meet tomorrow and it will be over. She says that soon? He says it will be final. He wants her to be sure. She says she is sure, and wants it done now. Luci no longer wants to be married to Rodrigo Torreslanda!

It is the next day and Claudio and Luci have arrived at court. They go into a little meeting room and true to his word, Claudio tells Luci he will leave her with Rod for a few minutes alone, they may reconcile, who knows. Luci says she has nothing to talk to Rod about and she doesn't want to talk to him. Claudio says she could regain her happiness. Oscar and Rod arrive. Oscar greets Claudio and he asks Luci how she is. Luci says she's ok. Rod is staring daggers at Luci. Oscar and Claudio leave. After the lawyers have left, Rod and Luci do a staredown of each other, and Rod says Luci and Luci says Rod. They continue that stare. Rod says so now we are alone. Claudio didn't want this meet, it was Oscar that suggested it. Rod wants to know why it is that Claudio is representing Luci in this divorce. Why do you want to be free, Luci and what is Claudio to you. (Note to Rod, you should know that your *sainted mother* caused this and you are still asking Luci WHY, For shame, boy, for shame). Luci tells Rod that Claudio is very important in her life, and you know what Rod, he's my lawyer. So don't insult Claudio, cause if you do, you are insulting me. She tells Rod her relationship with Rod is broken, very broken and he never defended it. He tells Luci the secrets did it in, as you well know. (Oh, Grow up Rod, what about your *sainted mama*'s secrets and lies along with her satan's minions, jus' sayin).

Estella, Paz, Magda and Ariche are enjoying breakfast together, and Paz is waiting for Luci to get back. She says Luci is meeting with the lawyer about Lorenzo, (she thinks), and is worried. Magda tells her to have faith. Magda wants her to be calm. Paz gets up and thanks Estella for the meal, Ariche is staying to help walk Marianita to school with Estella, she likes Ariche. Magda says Paz is a worry wart always worrying. Paz and Magda are not the only ones worrying, so is Estella. She thinks to herself, what will Paz do when she finds out Luci and Rod are divorcing right now.

Paz and Magda are back at Vio's and Paz is praying to that iconic picture of the Virgin of Guadalupe that Luci brought to the D.F. with her from Het Het. She is praying for herself and her children. Magda comes in and Paz is crying. Magda gives her a big ole hug and tells her to have faith. Paz is worried about this meeting with the lawyer and Lorenzo. Paz says she thinks Luci is suffering, she can tell it by looking in her eyes, and she has lost that wonderous light that was in her eyes when she got married in Het Het. Paz says the Virgincita will see them through, and Vio has heard everything, and is sad. Magda and Paz don't see her.

Now your recapper has to tell you here that I caught about half this conversation between Rod and Luci, so for whatever I missed or got wrong please elaborate in the comments. Luci is telling Rod about what happened to being together in good times and bad? He asks about her secrets, what about them? Well she says the divorce will be final. She says she wanted to spend the rest of her life with Rod, but he really doesn't want to. For some reason Rod thinks that Claudio is behind this fast divorce, but Luci says you are offending Claudio again. She says she trusts Claudio. She tells Rod it is better we go our seperate ways and then I can go back to Het Het. She gives Rod the folder, he glances at it and throws it on the sofa in the room. Rod wants to know if she is sorry she ever married him. He wants her to answer. She just looks at him,and she has big tears in her eyes and just looks at him, as one big tear rolls down her cheek, sad, very sad.

Gagme is in her office and calls her money hungry mama and tells her to be ready to go somewhere with her.

Padre Honesto is in his office and Rosa walks in and wants Padre to hear her confession.

Oscar and Claudio are in the waiting area outside the room where Luci and Rod are meeting. Oscar has called the office looking for Max, who isn't there. Oscar leaves a message and hangs up. Claudio asks Oscar if he is nervous. Oscar says no, he wishes that Rod and Luci would reconcile. Claudio tells Oscar that the divorce was caused by the Torreslandas. Oscar asks Claudio what his interest in Luci is. Claudio tells him it is to defend her, like the night he defended her against Lastra. He likes Luci. Oscar is puzzled by this, and Claudio tells him, it isn't like he's thinking. Claudio tells Oscar he is fortunate to have met Luci. She's generous, and a friend. He tells Oscar it's funny that Luci has the same birthday as his daughter did. (Note to Oscar, listen carefully and don't forget a word of this conversation), he continues and tells Oscar that Luci is nineteen the same age his daughter would have been (Oscar keep listening). Oscar has a little dawning look on his face, but he isn't there yet. Claudio tells Oscar that, wait for it, Luci is like a daughter to him! Now Oscar is really thinking!

Now Rod has the nerve to ask Luci to think of giving them another chance. She wants to know why? What about trust? She tells Rod no. He doesn't trust her, doesn't beleive her,not even once, and he broke her heart. She gives him those papers again and she says she wants a total end. She is shoving those papers at him now, looks him in the eyes, and cries. 

Part II: Recap by Anita

Roselena and The Padre
Roselena has rushed into Padre Honesto’s inner sanctum without even knocking.  She must consider herself a perpetually welcome trespasser.  (And by the way, have we ever seen the poor Padre helping anyone else outside the TorresLanda household and family…his time is constantly consumed by Roselena’s anguish.)

This deranged woman is demanding to be confessed.  The purple stole goes on, he’s listening.  The penitent is on her knees, accusing herself as having profaned the tomb of a newborn.  She had those baby remains placed inside the coffin of Aurora Linares.

The Padre is horrified:  “What did you *do*?  You defiled the tomb of one of God’s little angels to hide your sins? Your crimes of the past?”  Roselena:  “Yes, and I would have done even more, much more to protect my children.”  Padre:  “This has nothing to do with protecting your children.”

What does it matter to Rose:  “Claudio is at peace after seeing the remains of his little daughter resting next to his wife.  He even had the two bodies cremated.”  Padre looks like his cookies are going to get tossed.  Rosa continues piously:  “Claudio accepted the lie and at this very moment Luciana and Rodrigo are getting a divorce and that ‘revision’ will be far away and out of our lives and no one will ever learn the truth.”  What more could she want.  Now, the daughter of Claudio Linares *is* dead.

Padre can’t quite take it all in.  He can’t believe there is such wickedness in her heart.  One lie begat another.  And now she’s drowning in her own poison.  She tells Padre he can’t judge her, only God can.  He tells her that unless she is truly repentant, she’s essentially never even gonna get close to the pearly gates.  After all this, God has turned His back on her.  She begs to differ.  She has confessed, now he *must*  absolve her.  He’s obligated, as a priest.  She opens her arms wide to receive absolution.  Uh uh, ain’t gonna happen.  He removes the stole.  What she’s done goes beyond the limits of his priestly duties.  May God forgive him, but he’s not going to give her absolution.  She’s thunderstruck (we wish it were for real).

Oh, goody, Rose is home.  Oh, no, she looks awful.  Mati wants to know how she is, where was she.  Rose is demoralized, saying that God turned His back on her and she’s at the gates of hell.  Mati wants to comfort her, but Rose recoils as if Rose herself is tainted and undeserving.

Patricio and Matilde
Pato and Mati are talking up in his room about Luciana.  Pato is saying that if only his condition were different, he’d find a way to be by her side to protect her, to console her, to… (we think he was going to say querer her), but Mati interrupts.  He continues, saying that he is trapped in this body and he accepts it, but Luci & Rod don’t deserve this kind of suffering.  Frigidaire is listening at the door.  She’s overjoyed (we know this because she has a one-sided smile on her face) when she hears Rod & Luci are probably signing their divorce papers as they speak.

Vicky and Max
Vicky is waiting for her Osito in their den.  She calls Nicole to let her know she’s waiting for Maximino so she can talk to him, but he hasn’t shown up.  Nicole doesn’t want to hear from her again until her personal problems have been solved.  She gives her two days.  She hangs up on Vicky just as Max walks in.  She complains, with a smile, that she had to give up work to meet him.  He demands to know what is more important to her, her job or him.  He is, of course.  In fact, Nicole told her not to come to work today or tomorrow.  Good, says Max, he wants her to come with him, right now.

Meanwhile, Aldo is looking for Tío Max.  The receptionist tells him he’s not available and he won’t take calls, either.  Aldo is sure he is the exception, but he’s not.  Max won’t be available until dinnertime.

Max is taking Vicky for a ride in the country.  Something tells her this is not a Sunday pleasure drive.  She’s begging him to give her daddy his job back.  Her dad is not to blame for “their thing.”  Max corrects her—“her  thing.”  (Remember, Rod already asked him to give Don Jer his job back, but Max didn’t actually say what he was going to do.)  She’s the one who betrayed him, tried to be slick.  He had asked her if she was going out with Aldo and she denied it.  Vicky protests, it was only a couple of times and nothing happened.  With a fiendish chuckle he points out that that constitutes a betrayal.  He speeds up.  Max is frightening Vicky.  He says since she’s always complaining that they never have enough time together, this time they’ll have many hours together.  He grabs her—together—and alone.

Later, in some post-coital pillow talk, El Oso Malo with the great big teeth tells Little Red Vickyhood (ok, so it’s not the story of the wolf, but he could easily be one):  “Don’t ever betray me with anyone, ever.”  He’s going to make sure she doesn’t.  Max starts to choke her to death.  The look on his face is pure malice.

El Oso Malo has gotten up and is sitting by the crackling fire pouring out some chilled champagne.  Viewerville watches in disbelief as the first tired old telenovela beanie twist is used in Refugio.  El Oso just happens to have a vial tucked inside his pants pocket.  He pulls it out.  He puts a few drops in one of the glasses.

Vicky comes down the stairs.  She isn’t looking too happy after what was supposed to be a memorable Roll in the Swiss Mountain Hideaway Hay Chalet.  She says he frightened her.  She thought he was going to leave marks on her throat.  (Just marks, dearie?  Weren’t you scared you were going to die?)  Yep, in true telenovillain style, he hands the doctored glass to Vicky.  He chugalugs.  Vickyhood chugalugs reluctantly.  He addresses her:  “Did you know that a person’s word is better than a contract?  It demonstrates integrity.”  He tells her what he liked about her, her innocence, her simplicity, her candor, her ingenuousness, her generosity.  He grabs her by the hair as he tells her to keep on being like that.  He kisses her forcefully as she begins to go limp in his arms.  She passes out and he continues to manhandle her.  He talks to what seems like a lifeless body:  “Why did you betray me with my nephew, Aldo.”

Magda and Lorenzo
Magda and Paz are ready to go visit Lorenzo in jail.  Violeta and Fab are going with them so they won’t get lost in the big city.  Paz wonders if they’re going to let Lor out today.  Maybe that’s what’s keeping Luciana.  Vio looks guilty.

Paz arrives at Lorenzo’s cell.  He’s muy impactado.  She’s muy furiosa with him.  Aldo’s arrival interrupts the scolding Lorenzo is getting from his a-ma that her hijos were not brought up to rob or steal or do anything dishonest.  He knows that.  He tries to tell her it wasn’t his fault.  Aldo explains how it went down and that it was his fault and he promises to get him out of there.

Paz needs to talk to Luciana, but was told she’d be with her lawyer.  Lor has the number.  Aldo offers to call.  Lic. Bar answers.  Lic. Lin isn’t there.  He tells her that Luciana is most likely in the judge’s chambers signing her divorce papers.  Paz has another swooning episode.   

Magda and Fab, who were in the waiting room, rush into the holding area to help with a wilted Paz.  Lorenzo, meanwhile, tells Aldo that he only has a few more hours to fix this (bail, recognizance or withdrawal of the charges, we assume) or he’ll be transferred to the Big House in the morning, from where it will be nigh impossible to help him.  Aldo is still waiting to hear from his Uncle Max.  He’s sure Uncle Max will get him out.  It doesn’t look good right now for Lorenzo, though.  Back in the waiting room, everything is in a flutter.  They are telling Paz to calm down, but she says how can she with one child in jail and the other getting a divorce.  She calls on Galdino beyond the grave to help her.  Aldo offers to drive them anywhere they want.  Paz accepts, but would like to go say goodbye to Lor first.  She’s calmer now and does so.

Aldo has brought the vecindario folks back home.  Paz didn’t know Aldo and Rod were cousins.  Apparently that gives her an idea. 

Rodrigo and Luciana
Rod & Luci are in the little waiting room alone, together, continuing their confrontation from the previous hour.  The lawyers were hoping this might  lead to a reconciliation.  So, Rod says, these are the reasons for the divorce?  She’s accusing him of not being understanding, sympathetic, of being inscrutable, mistrustful and incompatible?  Luci doesn’t know about any of those terms.  It’s something Lic. Bar came up with—standard language.  Rod throws the folder down and turns her towards him.  Here they are, face to face, like enemies, after having loved each other so much.  They both have tears in their eyes.  Hot Head Rod still thinks he’s the aggrieved party.  There is no reconciliation and they are next in the judge’s chambers.

The lady judge asks if they are sure about going ahead with the divorce.  She’d like them to take the time to think about it, talk to each other beforehand.  Rod says they already did that, so, yes,  move forward.  The judge asks them to sign the document.  Luci does without hesitation.  Rod hesitates, he looks at Luci, who stares straight down.  He doesn’t really want to, but then he signs.  The judge pronounces them unhusband and unwife.  Rod and Luci independently seem aghast at what they’ve done.  Rod holds back his tears and bolts out the door.  Linares comforts Luci.  Oscar leaves to get copies from the secretary.

Now, Oscar is outside the judicial building on the phone with someone named Toni saying that they’re done and to prepare the papers.  He stops Luci as she goes by, while Rod is leaning against a column further away.  Oscar wants to know if Luci has a ride.  She answers yes.  He says he’s so sorry.  Rod and Luci barely and briefly look at each other.  Claudio steps forward to show he’s the one taking care of her.  Rod watches as she gets in the car with Claudio.  His eyes are red.  Rod is a broken man.  He turns and walks the other way.

Claudio Linares
Linares and Luci are back in his office talking about what she just went through.  Linares says that a divorce is always tough and worse when the parties still love each other.   Luciana says that evidently there wasn’t enough of it.  He knows she divorced him still loving Rodrigo.  She says she won’t deny it.  But she also recognized that love means suffering.  She and Rodrigo could never be together.  

Norma interrupts to tell Lic. Lin that Barrera will be seeing Lastra on that matter they had pending.  He tells Luci to stop worrying about Lorenzo.  Barrera is the man of the hour.  Luci admits she went to see Lastra on her own, but Polo wouldn’t let her see him.  She was willing to beg.  That gets Linares’ dander up.  He doesn’t ever want her in a position where she has to beg anyone for anything, ever, especially from that desgraciado.

Linares is telling Luci that the official divorce papers will come in a few days.  She must keep them safe, as safe as her birth certificate.  (Inquiring minds want to know what hers says.)  Barrera calls back, he couldn’t get in to see Lastra and wouldn’t answer phones.  Luci panics because time is running out.  Lic. Lin says to trust him.  There’s a knock at the door.  It’s Melissa.  She wants to know where things stand with Luci.  Luci answers that she and Rod are divorced, so there’s no longer anything binding her to the Torreslanda family.  Melissa tells her how much Patricio wanted them to stay together.  Luci is worried about him.   

Het Het
Theofilo, the big hunky lug tells Procopio he’s sorry he lost his job, but he talked to Don Serapio and he now has a job in the funeral parlor.  Procopio agrees to the terms that it’s only until Don Serapio returns.  Don Aquiles is trying to get rid of the Siamese Chisme Twins who are trying to tell him that Procopio found a job and is working with Theofilo at Don Serapio’s Funeral Home and Telephone Central Station.  Don A vows that Copio is going to be the first client—‘cause he’s going to die.  It seems as though Don A is losing his grip on the folks and businesses in Het Het.

(Please forgive your recapper.  As much as she loves Don Aquiles colorful language, it’s hard to translate freehand.  She prefers to pay more attention and tries to be accurate with the main storylines.)

Estela's Place
A box is delivered to Estela’s apartment.  It’s wrapped in pretty paper with a bow on top (one of those tv gift boxes that don’t actually have to be unwrapped).  It’s for Marianita from her mother en el otro lado (EEUU).  My how trusting she must be, unless she used Transporte Zuleta—De Puerta a Puerta, Inc.  It has a magic wand and a compound word: rompecabezas (jigsaw puzzle), something for Estela and a card from Ofelia.  Ariche likes the puzzle, Marianita likes the magic wand.  He tells her to wish with it real hard.  She wants her ma back.  That’s what she wishes for.

The Girls On Team Luci
Conny, Melissa and Hannah are in a restaurant-café, talking about Claudio Linares, Rod and Luci.  H&M are sorry they failed at their attempt to get the angry lovebirds back together.  Conny says that as long as the ink isn’t dry, there’s still hope (you hope in vain, Con).  Melissa is on her way to see Linares for the next revision in her thesis.  To her mother’s question, she admits that she likes Linares a lot.  Melissa wonders how old Linares is.  Conny does a little quick math and offers that he’s older than she is (which doesn’t tell us a thing).  (Did anyone in Viewerville note the dates on Aurora’s grave?  It said 1967-1995.  She was only 28 when she died.  If Luci is 19, then this must be 2014 already.  I would guess Claudio to be about 50 or a little more—which is just about right when Aurora was alive.)

A Pair of Mean Girls
Julie and Gala are in Cemetery Man’s office.  (Remember, he’s not the one complicit with Roselena on the desecration of the two tombs, just for delaying the exhumation.)  Gala wants to know what he means by the tomb of Aurora Linares is no longer here.  He explains that the exhumation of the bodies has just taken place.  Julie catches the plural—bodies?  Yes, he continues, the remains of his wife and daughter.  Gala picks up on—daughter?  Yes, he continues, exhumed and then cremated, at the request of Lic. Linares.  Julie, ever concerned for the feelings of others, remarks that it must have been a very difficult moment for him to face alone.  Cemetery Man surprises them both when he tells them Sra. Roselena Torreslanda was with Lic. Linares at the exhumation.  Quick-thinking Julie comes back that it was obvious that she held the deceased in high regard.  Sra. TL remembers her with much affection (while Gala smugly smiles at Julie’s chutzpah).

Rodrigo and Oscar
Rod gets back to the office accompanied by Oscar.  He tells Oscar he was at the point of embracing Luci, kissing her.  He wanted to ask her to forget everything and then run away with her.  Oscar wants to know why he didn’t.  Rod says he was trying to figure out when that moment was when everything fell apart, broke, but he couldn’t.  Oscar doesn’t know what to tell him, except that maybe that moment hasn’t come yet and their love isn’t completely broken.  Maybe it just needs time.  Rod isn’t convinced.  Maybe love can be put back together, but not the pieces of a broken heart.  How is it that it’s so difficult to end a great love with just a simple signature.  But it’s all over.  Rod changes the subject.  They have to get Lorenzo out of jail.  Oscar tells Rod it’s not going to be easy.  He gets a call from Lastra.

Old Don Jeronimo (as opposed to young Jeronimo in CME) gets his job back, on Max’s orders.  Rod tells him it was only another compound word: malentendido (misunderstanding).  Don Jer praises Max’s and the whole family’s saintly virtues.  (If he only knew what this virtuous man is doing to his daughter at that very moment.)

Patricio, Mati and a Call from Rodrigo
Mati is with Pato, trying to get him to take his meds.  He doesn’t want them, but she sweet talks him into taking them saying that they are essential to his recuperation.

He wants to know if his mother returned from church.  Yes, she’s back but went straight to bed with a headache, that’s why she didn’t come to see him.  Pato is scheduled to go for his first hydrotherapy that afternoon.  Rodrigo calls him on a teleconference channel.  Pato says:  “Rodrigo, please, tell me no” (Dime que no).  Rod matter-of-factly tells Pato as much as he’d like to tell him that, he and Luciana are divorced.  In Pato’s face, it’s clear he needs to process that information—whether to be sad for the two of them or glad that maybe now he has a chance with Luciana himself.  

Rosa and God
Rosa talks to God:  “Why are You turning your back on me.  Why are You shutting the doors of Heaven to me.  I need Your pardon.”  She doesn’t care if Padre didn’t absolve her.  She needs the Lord’s forgiveness.  Pato arrives on silent wheels in the middle of her supplication.  He tells her that Rod and Luci are divorced, just the way she wanted.  He leaves.  Her body language tells the whole story.  She’s free of this burden.  She dries her eyes.  She relaxes immediately, her face slackens, she’s calm, she can smile.  She thanks the Heavenly Father, thanks Him for listening to Her [sic].

Endings
Luci returns to Vio’s apartment.  She says out loud to herself that she lost him, forever.  Vio comes in to console her.  She’s divorced.  It hurts so much.  Vio tells her that her a-ma already knows about the divorce.

Downstairs, Estela and Magda are talking about Paz and all her problems in Het Het and now her hijo problems.  Luci comes in and wants to know where Aldo took her mother.  Viewerville finds out right away.  Paz has shown up in Rodrigo’s office.  He and she have a lot to talk about.  Well, anyway, she does.  He gets to listen.  Luciana, meanwhile, hightails it out of the vecindad to catch up with her a-ma and arrives at the TorresLanda compound word: rascacielo (skyscraper) at precisely the same time as Max steps out of his car, without Vicky.

Advances:
Paz lectures her (bad boy) ex-SIL.
Roselena celebrates (her secret triumph) with her family.
Claudio Linares meets Paz (she swoons again).
Where in the World is Vicky (that's my question).
