Por ella soy Eva #8 and #9 7/26/12 and 7/27/12: The Lion (or Puma!) Roars.
Eduardo comes home early, and Lalo helps sneak Juan out of the house. Helena gives him her project. At the office, Fernando and Santiago (Mutt & Jeff) are eager to see it. But Helena calls, and then he can’t bring himself to show them. “No puedo. Es una canallada.” Mutt & Jeff still haven’t been paid, so they beg JC to turn in Helena’s project.
Lucía is upset because of her sweetheart Sebastian. After she slept with him the first time, he got out of bed, went out the door, and disappeared from her life.
Eduardo finds Juan’s shirt and interrogates Sylvia. She dodges so he pressures Lalo. “If your mama has a boyfriend, he'll separate you from your mother. He’ll seem nice but hurt you when she's not looking, and she won't believe you.” Later Sylvia tells Lalo that Juan is good, and if anyone tries to hurt him, his mother will protect him.
Juan brings a bus tour to Viajes Moreno. Helena agrees to take Juan on a private tour of the city.
Plutarco and Rebeca are half naked, lying on the desk, and Antonia is just about to enter the office.
Now, Friday's episode.
The Surprise Behind Door No. 1Antonia walks in and is shocked to see sweaty bodies groping on the desk. Alas, it’s her brother and his bimbo, not her husband and his bimbo. In the other GI lust-nest, Rebeca and Plutarco are getting dressed. She promises she’ll never again be unfaithful, and by the way, she’d like to take a taxi to the tourism bureau instead of going with her driver (Plutarco’s spy). Fat chance!Guess Who's Coming to Work?
Antonia tells Adriano and Plutarco her wonderful news: she’s decided to work full time at the office. Plutarco warns that she she’ll be bored (in contrast to sitting at home watching telenovelas?), but she can’t be dissuaded and she’s eager to spend more time with him. He does not share her enthusiasm.True Confessions
Helena takes Juan to an old convent, her favorite spot to relax and contemplate. He magically produces a romantic picnic lunch. He asks about other boyfriends, and she says she’s been unattached because men think a single woman is desperate and will tolerate anything. She asks about his past. Who was his first love? He answers, “Would you believe me if I said you’re my first love? I’ve never felt like this with anyone before.” She confesses that when she met him, she thought he only wanted to take advantage of her, but now she knows he could never hurt anyone. Juan suggests that for their next picnic, they should bring Lalo. His suggestion activates her love button. Juan urges her to present him to her parents, so he can clear the air with her father, especially now that they’re novios. But she’s worried about her dad’s health, and she wants to wait until her project succeeds and she can move out.The Best Moment of the Show
Juan takes Helena home and watches from behind a tree as Eduardo comes out and yells at her, calling her a cualquiera and saying she brought a man home to “revolcarse” (roll in the hay). But when he manhandles her and calls her a streetwalker, Juan can’t take it anymore. He tells Eduardo that he’s Helena’s novia, and being her father doesn’t give him the right to mistreat/abuse the woman Juan loves (querer). Juan is appalled that a man could humiliate his own daughter like that and not appreciate what a treasure she is. Ed says that when Juan gets what he wants from her, he’ll throw her in the trash. Juan swears that he’ll never hurt her. Ed replies that Helena is an adult and if she gets hurt, that’s her problem, but if Juan hurts Lalito he’d better watch out.Two Styles of Exchanging Ideas
Once inside, Lalo asks his mom, “If you marry Juan, will you still love me?” She assures him that everyone, even Juan, knows that her son will always come first. He likes that. Silvia tells Ed that Helena has a right to find love. Ed tells Silvia she hasn’t got a brain in her head, and I think he smacks her.Not Everybody Loves Juan
Plutarco tattles to Adriano that he thinks JC diverted GI bus tours to another travel agency. Then he calls the bank to set up an account for his “mother,” but it’s really in the name of JC’s mother.
Later Pluto asks Adriano to approve his project, but Adriano will wait until he sees the final version. He warns JC that unless he turns in his project ASAP, Adriano will have to accept Plutarco’s proposal for PlayaM. He asks about the diverted bus tours, and JC denies any knowledge of them.
Where's Hippy Ed When You Need Him?JC looks for a way to use Helena’s project without hurting her. Mutt & Jeff accuse him of falling in love. Mutt reminds him that if he wants to keep Helena instead of stealing her project, he’ll also have to explain to her that he’s not Argentinean, and he’s really the Juan Carlos that fired her. So JC asks his father how to fix his problem and not hurt Helena. Dad says women don’t understand reason, and things will go better for him if he uses the project. He should use Helena until he’s tired of her, then pay her off and forget about her.Time to Hitch Up Your Chones
In the morning, Mutt & Jeff give JC a pair of tacones (high heeled shoes) because he said, “The day I suffer for a woman is the day I wear a skirt and tacones.” In response, JC demonstrates that he has decided which side he’ll play for. He shreds the PlayaM project CD.

Abismo de pasión, #96 7/26/12: Hey Alfie, Gweedo may be free but Gabino’s gonna cost you.
To: the writers of the Pit
From: Novelamaven
Cap’n Sylvia went to sea / In a beautiful pea green boat / She took her honey and plenty of money / And asked me to give you this note:*
“When I return in two weeks I expect to find these folks alive and kicking: Don Lucio, Dolores, Padre, Ramona, Maru, Braulio, Enrique, Doc Tovar, Paloma and Gael.
Feel free to smite and blight as you see fit any of the following: Gabino Mendoza, Paolo “the momzer” Landucci, Alfabitch, OmegaBitch (aka the Killer Orange) and Chente.
Use these characters however you wish to keep the story moving along: Elisa, Damián, Flor, Guido, Begoña, Toña, Sabrina and the old lady** who was whispering “Hush mah mouth – I bet I can squeeze that old Arango broad for enough pesos so I can ditch the asilo and retire in St. Tropez.”
Love,
Sylvia
*With apologies to The Owl and the Pussycat and **Goodnight Moon.
Tonight:
Dolores stares, incredulous, as Horacio is taken away in a squad car. A wanted criminal – this is the man she chose as her life partner? Gabino watches the show. From his expression, you’d think he was at a cockfight and he’d put his bet on the winner. (Are those bloody feathers on his chin? Nah.)
Outside the bank in Mérida, Don Lucio kvetches that Dam is forcing him to lie. He’ll have to go along with the story that before he died, Augusto set up an account for Elisa. Although both men suspect Gabino pocketed the Cielo Abierto money, proving that will take time. Right now, Elisa needs cash to pay off her loan to Alfie. Otherwise Alfie will seize the greenhouse and the harvest.
Doc Tovar’s office
Elisa stops by to ask Paloma to attend tonight’s mass for Augusto. Why does Paloma seem so distant? Elisa needs her more than ever right now. Paloma starts to say she has her own tsuris but then, remembering who the protagonista is, apologizes.
Paloma’s not buying Flor’s pregnancy story and thinks Dam has his doubts as well, official blood test or no.
The Killer Orange is seen deftly driving a pickup truck down the highway and thought-bubbling: “Gabino’s got the Horacio problem covered. Now I’ll dispose of that bastard Guadalupe.”
[Audible gasps from the Lupe table.]
Braulio comes upon the desolate Dolores, and offers a shoulder to cry on when he hears about Horacio.
[The Braulio and Lolita tables edge closer together on the patio.]
Hacienda Harango: AlfaBitch, her fan (I mean abanico, not fanático, and Flor.
Flor announces she is going to Mexico to pick up her wedding gown. Alone. AlfaBitch really wants to go along. She would handcuff herself to Flor if she could, but she is handicapped by the need to flick and fan at dramatic moments.
Enter Dam. He -- and he alone -- will accompany Flor. ”¿Sabes qué?” he says brightly. “Creo que también podríamos aprovechar para ver a un ginocólogo. Quiero ver el primer ultrasonido de mi bebé.” (You know what? I think we could take advantage of the occasion to see a gynecologist. I want to see my baby’s first ultrasound!)
Alfie fans, smiles approvingly. Flor looks haunted. (Oh honey, this is just the opening salvo.)
Knock knock. Who’s there? Gweedo. Gweedo who? Gweedon’t think you’re innocent. Gwee just dropped the charges ‘cause gwee don’t want a scandal in the family.
Gweedo maintains he is innocent – it’s that rotten creep Gabino that Alfie should be accusing. Dam is in his corner. Alfie sighs and fans.
[Some at Gweedo’s table begin to take heart. Maybe, just maybe ...]
Hacienda Beltran -- where a deal is a deal
Smarmy Gabino is no more. This is rabid stick-waving, frothing at the mouth Gabino. And he has no intention of letting the señora cancel the sale of the hacienda just because Alfonsina Arango has outbid him.
“¡Ahora me viene con el domingo siete, ruca!” (I’m pretty sure she’s not pregnant so here our familiar idiom means: Now you’re springing this on me, old lady!) He orders her to vacate his property.
She tries to give him back his check. He tears it up and grabs her from behind, pressing his forearm up against her fragile throat. “Now you have no check, no hacienda, nothing!” She gasps and then goes limp. Is she ... ? Yes, she is dead. And Gabino – with no remorse, with no sign of panic -- digs her grave and buries her body. She won’t have to leave her hacienda after all.
At Casa Bien Castigado, Elisa assures Lucio that they can speak freely. The aunt is out, she took the truck somewhere ...
And the aunt has trucked right on into an audience with the Bishop – she has something very grave to tell him about Padre Guadalupe Mondragón!
[On the patio, there are murmurs of dismay: How much weight will the words of a Godless Orange carry?]
Elsewhere in the big city, Dolores visits Horacio in jail. She wants a divorce and an annulment. Horacio will not oppose her. Braulio (sort of the anti-Gabino, no?) waits outside. He hugs her reassuringly.
He loved me. He really loved me.
Back at Casa Castigado, Lucio tells Elisa about the account her father set up for her (¡sí, me querías!) and explains she can use the money to save the greenhouse. She may have to cede half of Cielo Abierto to Gabino though.
Honey, I’m home! Gabino strides into the Blue House, and thwapppp – he slams Irritating in the kisser. “That’s for telling that bastard Gael that I beat you – now you have something to complain about for real. Get out!”
But Ing’s not leaving without her money – and didn’t he say he loooved her?
Love? Hah! “¡Eres un premio de consolación!”
“If I leave”, says Ing, “I go straight to Alfie and I tell all – how you defrauded the ProCe, how you covered for Carmina all these years.”
“Now” leers bandanahand, “I can’t let you out of this house – alone or ... alive.”
[Someone on the Patio hisses: “Do it, Gabino. You’re already going to hell ... JudyB looks sternly at her tablemate and silence is restored.]
Ing keeps braying, alternately taunting and wheedling, claiming she was just playing on Gael’s sympathies. Gael is the key to the Arango fortune. Their only obstacle is Alfonsina. (Dam would give Gael his share, she is sure.) Would Gabino have the guts (agallas) to kill that woman?
At Hacienda Arango, “that woman” affects surprise at Gweedo’s vigorous defense of his dignity and innocence. He’ll be living in the hotel in town, he says, not in the hacienda. And he, in turn is amazed at how vigorously Alfie defends a momzer like Gabino Mendoza. Nor is Gweedo any too happy about Flor and Dam getting married.
“But Gweedo” counters AlfaBitch, “Flor is knocked-up! We’re gonna be abuelos!”
In the Blue House of Shame, Ing presses on, calling Gab a coward, all bark and no bite (perro que ladra no muerde). He’s never bloodied his own hands with murder.
Has she? She doesn’t answer.
Then she asks what some on the Patio have wondered: If Ing is the runner-up, is Alfonsina herself the Grand Prize? Not at all, answers Gab. “Alfonsina Arango is the most despicable woman (la mujer más despreciable) in the world”.
Ingrid thinks he should take that thought and run with it ...
Carmina gets back home just as Lucio and Elisa are leaving for the special mass. Would the aunt like to join them? Nah. The rotten orange has no use for churches and souls or eternal life.
Elisa and Carmina agree to talk later about the check that Gabino supposedly gave Augusto as an anticipo for Cielo Abierto. It must be somewhere in the hacienda because it’s not in Augusto’s bank account.
At Hacienda Harango, Gweedo asks if Dam is marrying Flor only because she is pregnant. Or does he love her?
Dam does some awkward tap-dancing around the question. He truly cares for Flor, he says, and he promises to be a good husband and father.
Gweedo notices Dam is wearing black. “Why are you in mourning? Who died?” Dam explains that he is going to a funeral mass for Elisa’s father, Augusto.
Rural Health and Organ Transplant Center
Toña is feeling well enough to nag at Braulio for spending time with Dolores. “You never stopped loving her, did you?”
Braulio says he never regretted his marriage until he found out how Toña had deceived him.
[Some on the Patio whisper that Braulio is fibbing here, but no one seems to hold it against him.]
But now Toña hits him back with a big fat whopper of a lie: She never told him about Gabino because ... sniff sniff snivel ... Gabino abused her ... he took her by force! If Braulio doesn’t believe her, ask Alfonsina!
And right on cue – there is the black widow herself. “Tu mujer está diciendo la verdad” she lies.
In the vestry we see Dolores, Elisa and Lupe. Each is weighted by grief. All mourn Augusto. But Dolores has also lost her dream of marital happiness. And Padre? He looks more despairing than we have ever seen him. Of course he will help Lolita with the annulment. “But what crimes exactly was Horacio accused of? Anything here, in La Ermita? “No, padre” answers Lolita.
Avances: Alfonsina and Florencia put on their little black dresses and go crash a funeral mass. Elisa is not amused.

Refugio Para el Amor #79 Thu 7/26/12 The Long Goodbye
-Luci falls asleep peacefully over her books, cradling her engagement ring; while Rod has a restless night and slams their wedding bands against his night stand.
-The next day, after Luci’s exam, Rod arrives at the vecinidad and he and Luci manage a civil and pleasant conversation. He gives her the box with the wedding bands, tells her not to open it till she’s alone, and says she’ll know what to do with it. His “adios” sounds sort of final this time, but I wouldn’t bet on it. He beats a downspout in frustration. Luci looks at the rings, then closes the box, looking more determined than before.
-After an exhausting first day back at the office, Rod puts Pato to bed for a nap. Before he goes to sleep, Pato wants to speak to Luci to hear how the exam went. He is majorly annoyed that Rod went to see her that morning after her exam, and that he dumped the rings on her.
-Pato asks Rod a deeply personal question. Did he make love to (pure, innocent) Luci? NimRod admits that he did. Pato is livid that after taking her virginity, Rod is tossing Luci aside, in addition to not protecting her. If he were healthy and strong, heck, even in his current state, he would have protected her and wouldn’t let her go!
-Pato continues to make Rod his b!tch by making him call up Luci for him, stand silently as he speaks to her happily, and take down the phone number of the Het Het funeral parlor so that HE can call her when she’s back in the pueblo.
-Aldo comes to El Inferno to keep an eye on things, on Max’s orders. This bugs the hell out of Ivan and Lastra, who don’t seem to know what the heck Aldo’s doing there. Aldo mentions to Lastra how angry the jefe was about the Lorenzo-jail affair. Lastra says HE’s the boss at Inferno!
-Marcial el Estalker, shows up in Vio’s dressing room, and she has to yell for security to get him to leave.
-Connie remembers Rosa’s harsh words about her decrepit body, then the witch herself arrives to drive the dagger in deeper. What’s a younger man like Oscar want with an old hag like Connie? Connie ignores her and goes to bed to dream of her upcoming dirty weekend with Oscar. Atta girl Connie!!
-Rosa la Loca invites Padre Honesto to the dinner where Rod will be served up on a platter to Gala, so that he can witness how she’s kissed and made nice with Rod. Her family is better than ever! Padre very reluctantly agrees to attend.
-Gala looks for the perfect rubber band dress to help her trap Rod at the dinner. Valentina tells her she would have better luck if she wore a long skirt, peasant blouse and band around her waist. Atta girl Vale!!
-Rosa boasts to Julie that the ambush dinner for Rod is all planned. Rod will be clueless (as usual), Julie and Gala will just happen to drop by to say farewell on their way to the farewell dinner Vale and Fernie have planned, then Rosa will invite them to stay for dinner and invite V&F and their novios over as well.
-Rosa’s veneer begins to crack and her crazy shows through when she finds out that 1) Pato, Melissa, and Hannah have disappeared shortly before the ambush dinner; and 2) Boris dared to set foot in Hannah’s bedroom earlier, and was alone with her there. Mati is the lucky winner who gets the tongue lashing for all of this.
-Paz gives Lorenzo and Fabian the blessing for the first day of their taco biz, and gives Luci the blessing for luck on her exam.
-Luci takes the exam with a lot of other young folks, and seems pretty confident in her answers.
-Lorenzo and Fabian find a perfect spot to park their bike and taco canasta (basket), in front of a convenience store. The store owner lets them stay since their tacos will drive people inside to buy drinks. They immediately draw a crowd of young neighborhood maids. Either the tacos are really good, or the maids are drawn to the cute boys selling them. I think it’s both.
-Melissa brings Claudio her final thesis chapter. He’ll review it right away so that she can schedule her final exam. She’s very nervous about the final exam, but he assures her she will do marvelously. This makes Melissa’s heart pitter patter, and a huge grin comes to her face. Claudio is clueless about his effect on this lovely young woman.
-Boris organizes a romantic scavenger hunt for Hannah, which takes her around the city to pick up various gifts and notes, and ends right back in her bedroom with a sweet kiss and a rose.
-Unfortunately, for Boris, the scavenger hunt takes Hannah right by Lorenzo’s taco stand, and they make moon eyes at each other before she runs off to the next clue.
-The old Padre has been feted and buried, and Procopio looks exhausted. But after this big funeral, he and Theo have enough to pay the phone bill. With all the sadness and crying, he’s not so sure the funeral biz is right for him. He’s thinking about going back to Don Aquiles, who was way more fun than a weepy funeral, even if he was always in a foul mood. Aquiles thinks Copio is a gossiping traitor when he overhears this. He also seems to think he’s betraying him with Luchita.
-Luchita and the Gossip Girls rub it in Aquiles’ face how successful and in demand Copio has been since he left Aquiles. Aquiles blusters that he doesn’t want Copio back, but we can tell he doesn’t mean it.
Empresas Torreslanda
-The Pueblo folk start to say their goodbyes to the big city. Vio takes Luci, Magda, Paz, and Ariche on a tour, which ends at one of the city’s beautiful old churches. They each pray to the Virgin. Ariche asks the Virgin to look out for the people he loves; Luci asks for protection and for help forgetting Rod; Magda asks for protection for Vio; Paz asks for strength to tell Claudio the truth, and the strength to handle it if Luci decides to leave her. Ariche gets a Virgencita statue to take home to his mama.
-Claudio tells Norma he has decided to surprise Luci and her crew by flying with them to Het Het for the weekend. But he’ll be back in time to continue working on his case. Things are looking good now that the judge who originally oversaw the case has agreed to reopen it. Norma is impressed by his love for Luci. He says she, and her family, have turned into the family he never had. Oh yeah, and he still has to talk to Paz about that urgent matter.
-Luci tells Estelita that she doesn’t think she’ll ever come back to D.F. Never say never Luci!
-Not yet knowing that Claudio is traveling with them, Paz hyperventilates and tries to figure out how she will take him aside to talk alone in the airport.
-Lorenzo and Vio have tearful farewells with their mamas at the airport. Vio promises not to lie to her mama anymore.
-Hannah, Pato, Melissa and Boris come running up to the airport security gate, surprising Luci. They wanted to say farewell. Hannah grabs Luci into a hug, and Pato gives her a huge, lovely smile. *Sigh!*

Abismo de pasión #95 7/25/12: Dam is no Gene Kelly but i believe he can dance decent... and despite being dealt nothing but lemons lately, he smiled!!
Dr T argue with Sabri re Paolo
Lolita and Padre still arguing...
BegoneYa and Senora Beltran.. seems BegoneYa just learned Senora sold the hacienda and is poking for info on who is the buyer. Senora puts her down cold, never been interested in your gossip, and now that I am leaving town, i won't fall for your games. (in comes Alfie). BegoneYa wants to gossip to Alfie, but Alfie not interested in BegoneYa's latest gossip and gets sent packing harshly. Senora Eduviges Beltran is surprised by Alfie's visit. Alfie came to make an offer for her hacienda. Edu says too late, just sold it. (YESS YESS YESS!!)Alfie insists you can undo that transaction (NOO NOO NOO!!), I WANT that hacienda for my son Dam and will pay whatever.

Dam says One more or one less problem with my mom is the least of my worries. But will Elisa be ok with it? Gael says Elisa needs the money. Gael will try to convince Elisa. Dam tells Gael he is marrying Flo. Gael thinks Dam does not know about not sibs, have to get his conscience clean.. you are not sibs. /I know that. / And even then want to marry Flo??? what is WRONG WITH YOU?? (that's what WE SAY!!) (Gael gets mad and barks back at Dam:) I WILL be with Elisa because I DO care for her! (no! don't lower yourself to be a pinch hitter, Gael!!) Dan does not want to engage in argument: I will go see my uncle at church.
Dam asks Loopy to cancel the 'amonestaciones'. Loopy happy misinterpreting as Dam cancels wedding as a whole, but Dam clarifies he only wants to cancel the church ceremony, will still get married by civil law. Loopy mad at that idea because Dam don't love Flo. YOU LOVE THE OTHER ONE (La otra?, Loopy, are you in wrong soap?). Dam shrugs shoulders, saying 'It doesn't matter anymore. Elisa and I will never be together. Now it is Elisa who wants us apart. Loopy understands Elisa's reasons. Dam thinks Loopy knows Flo is preggers. Loopy barks angry to Dam about getting Flo preggers.(NOO NOO NOO!!)

Forgive me for what i will say now, but listening to you, i can't help but feel ashamed of being your son.
Lolita and Horacio... Lolita questions Horacio about Carmina and him leaving the quinta. Padre Loopy was here accusing Carmina of killing Augusto. That can't be, i was with her. Yes you said that, but then why did Gael see you and her leaving the quinta. Horacio tries to confuse her about the time and daylight/dark... 'Ok, will tell you the truth. I was outside waiting for Dona Carmina to pack her bags. I never saw Don Augie. I can't tell whether he was here or not. If he talked to her, that is something only SHE would know.'
Gael visits II. Came to see if she was indeed changing her ways, but can see she has no intention to. (NOO NOO NOO) What are you still doing here? you ask me for help and i gave it to you and i see it is for nothing, Just so it is clear, I dont appreciate being utilized!
Gab at procesa... Maru mocks Gab about having seen him with II after II had left procesa suddenly and quietly. Later on he was asking for II. And II came several times to ask for him.. and now they are waltzing around town together. Gab angry she is messing with his private life, Maru says dont care, noone does. Gab leaves, Maru makes a 'off with the pest!' gesture.

Lolita/Elisa. Lolita worried about something Horacio said to her. Elisa says go settle things with your husband. Lolita says have to go see him in a bit anyway to close shop. Masoquist Elisa wants to talk to Carmina about something related to Cielo Abierto. Lolita questions Elisa letting Carmina stay in the house. Masoquist Elisa too generous to kick her out. She is all alone.. yada yada. we are each other's only family... yada yada. After all that happened, need to give her a chance to show she changed.. yada yada. (YESS YESS YESS) Lolita totally against it. Have to get this woman out of here and out of your life to be more at peace. (NOO NOO NOO!!) Elisa can't kick her out, my mom would never do that. (YESS YESS YESS)
Carmina/Gab at procesa... Gab offers himself to Carmina. Gab reminds her he gets 'paid' one way or another. (YESS YESS YESS) Carmina just walks away basically turning him down. (NOO NOO NOO) Carmina wonders of Horacio would betray Gab. Carm sells it saying if Horacio 'sings', both Gab and Carmina are finished. Carmina is trying to convince Gab to get rid of Horacio. Gab says will take care of that imbecile today. Gab makes an anonymous call to the police to tell on Horacio's whereabouts in La Ermita.
At Merida, Dam makes a huge withdrawal from his personal account. Bank guy says it is a huge amount. Dam and Lucio exchange smiles. Lucio says 'i told you they would have a stroke about the amount'. Dam tells the bank guy don't worry, just moving it from one account to another. Bank guy tells them about the steps and that Elisa will have to come get the money later. Lucio says no prob.
Gab yelling at workers at Procesadora... In comes Gael running and punches Gabino for hitting II (note no worker lifted a finger to stop him). 'You will learn to respect her, whether you want to or not!' Gael is taken away, and Gab walks away to shake off the blow (Gael got him good!).
Lolita and Horacio at shop... Horacio trying to make ammends their earlier argument. Lolita still does not understand why Loopy questions Carmina and Horacio. they hear sirens. Horacio gets visibly worried. Lolita goes on about Loopy's accusations to him. Horacio seems to be trying to get a promise of solidarity at last second: 'Promise you won't doubt me anymore?/ i promise./ i love you lolita. you are the biggest thing that ever happened to me. i dont want any more distrust and misunderstandings between us./ you are my husband and i swore to be by your side always. [Kiss]/ i love you. [More kissing] / Lolita wonders about the sirens... /Love you.
Cops come right into shop. 'Horacio Ramirez, you are under arrest for the Campeche felonies!.' They cuff him. Lolita impactada.

Por ella soy Eva #7 7/25/12: ULP!
That's the sound of Helena swallowing the Argentinian BS hook, line, and sinker! This is still funny, but it's getting a little hard to watch. However, JC does begin to wince - it's his gastritis - is his conscience attacking his stomach? Or maybe it's his pride as a womanizer, and he can't believe he's hanging with a single mom? Anyway, she brings him in her house to get her mom to give him some tea and call the Doc, who gives him some powerful meds and tells him to get sleep and less stress. Fat chance, right?
Lalito walks on in! He pouts, but looks like's about to crack up. He runs to his room and thinks his mom won't love him anymore. Nonetheless, Juan comes up and wants a man-to-man!
Dude, Plutarco is a jerk - he claims he's too tired to give his wife a hug. WTF?? She cheers up, though, when she finds the stolen plan de playa majagua - she did her thesis on it, which Plutarco never read. Looks like like he's gonna steal that, too. She's pleased by the attention and tells him he's so moral. You're so generous, so kind, etc, and Plutarco looks pretty disgusted.
Man-to-man, Juan is great fighting it out with the kid. He threatens that Helena will be miserable without him. The kid eventually relents, saying "my mom is really great, so I guess you must be all right if she likes you. "I'm glad," says Juan. Lalito says you better not hurt her, menso. Helena comes in, is happy to see the issue resolved, puts the kid to bed. As they say goodnight, Juan's eyes bug out when he sees a file named "playa majahua" on the computer in the kid's room.
In the morning he overhears about the mortgage and the lack of money to pay for Lalito's school. You can see his conscience rolling around behind his eyes, but it isn't really connecting with his brain. He's pissed that everyone will be leaving the house for Lalito's game (a perfect opportunity for snooping), but he has to go with them. He winds up getting excited, though, when Lalito scores a GOOOOLLL!
That night, Juan will cook dinner. Lalo says hey, that's for girls, but Juan begins to indoctrinate him with chauvinism - none of the best cooks are women!
And the result of their hard "manly" kitchen-work: a lasagna. "I didn't know it was so hard," Lalo says. Juan: "That's why it's a man's job!"
Lalo has fallen for Juan just as fast as his mom did! He now wants him to come to the father-son soccer game and to come meet all his friends at school. At dinner, Juan impresses the ladies with his story (possibly true) about his mother who still thinks he's 10 years old. (Juan's mother was a well-known actress before she married - now she has memory problems which may or may not be Alzheimers.)
Speaking of Juan's mom, Plutarco's mustached flunkie Onesimo pays her a visit on his boss's orders! He chats with her, realizes that she's kind of stuck in the past, and starts telling her what a fan he is (she was a famous actress or something)... He winds up leaving with an autographed photo from her glory days! Plutarco has a plan to use it against Juan...
Juan is back to snooping around on Lalito's computer... but the playa majagua file loads super slowly and he reaches under the desk to curse it and fiddle around with stuff to make it go faster (?) "This machine must be from the 1970s!" Just then, Helena's mom comes in with some tea for him, he jumps to attention to pretend he wasn't snooping, and slams his head on the underside of the desk! He stammers some nonsense about dropping his pills and looking for water, but fortunately Helena's mom is just as easily-fooled as her daughter and grandson, and launches into that familiar I love Helena, she's a great woman, and you mustn't hurt her again speech. She also mentions that they took out a mortgage on the house to support the Majagua project. All of this guilt-inducing stuff proves to be a bit much for our slime-ball antihero, and his gastric conscience acts up pretty severely.
Onesimo fills his boss (Plutarco) in on his chat with Juan's mom. He mentions that there are some money troubles and her husband is at work all the time (Onesimo says he's an "anotario," but I think he means "notario," notary, and this is just supposed to show us what a dunce Onesimo is).
Next week: see what happpens when Helena's dad comes home to meet his daughter's new man!

Por ella soy Eva #6 7/24/12
Por Ella Soy Eva July 24, 2012
The show began with a bit of the conversation between Juan Carlos and Helena. Helena asks him not to play with her feelings and to be honest with her. She poured out her heart to him, and you can tell that Juan Carlos is beginning to feel compunction for some of what he’s doing and how he’s treating Helena. He’s falling.
We begin our actual show with Juan Carlos daydreaming about Helena. The guy is falling fast. Fernando interrupts Juan Carlos and informs him about how Plutarco is withholding his and Santiago’s salaries. Juan Carlos confronts Plutarco and lies about the project being finished. Plutarco demands to see it, and an argument begins. Adriano walks in, puts an end to their argument, and reminds Juan Carlos of their deal. Juan Carlos is in quite a bind.
At the same time that’s happening, Helena and Lalito are about to have lunch, but first, a mother/son talk takes place. This was a good scene because it showed an honest talk between them. She basically said that despite any jealousy, anger, or hurt feelings, Lalito can always talk to and confide in Helena, and that their bond of love and trust is very strong.
They eat lunch, and Lalito notices that his mom is somewhat distracted. She TELLS HIM THAT SHE’S DISTRACTED BECAUSE OF WORK RELATED STUFF. He, in turn, asks her if she’s told Juan that she won’t be his girlfriend. Lalito’s grandfather’s influence is very obvious in how he talks to Helena, quite demanding and authoritative. Why Helena hasn’t put her son in his place is still a question.
Back at Grupo Imperio, Plutarco and Rebeca are talking. He wants more information on what she knows regarding the project. She doesn’t give in so easily and lets him know that she doesn’t appreciate when he takes advantage of her. He doesn’t even compensate her with any type of gift, jewel, trip, etc. This gal knows how to manipulate things to her advantage. She gets her way…so far.
Helena continues to think about Juan and is pretty bummed. She asks her friend Lucia id he’s called yet, and she says no. I love these two friends’ interaction.
Plutarco and Onesimo talk. Plutarco’s just purchased two pieces of jewelry for Antonia and Rebeca. He wants to get them off his back. He asks Onesimo what he knows regarding Rebeca seeing other men.
Plutarco gives one of the pieces to Antonia. They talk, and she says that rather than buying her expensive gifts or meals at fancy restaurants, he should just show her love. She misses and wants Plutarco to be intimate with her. He’s not happy with this but has no choice!
We then have some nice family scenes with Juan Carlos and his parents. It seems to me that his mom might be beginning to have some kind of illness. She talks to and thinks of Juan Carlos as a little boy. She’s smart though and perceives that her son has trouble with a girl and flat out asks her son if he’s in love. Juan Carlos’s dad is a different story. He’s tougher and seems to be somewhat of a macho type of man. He thinks it’s time for his son to find a woman who can take care of him properly.
At the Moreno home, the family is eating dinner. Eduardo is mentioning a trip he’s going to take to reunite with some of his military buddies. He lets Lalito know that he won’t be at his upcoming football game. They talk about an upcoming father/son game that they will be in, and Lalito lets it slip that he played football with Juan on the beach in Acapulco. Eduardo has a fit and grills Helena over who Juan was and why he was playing with Eduardo’s grandson. Helena fibs, but Eduardo is not very happy with her answers.
Juan Carlos continues to try and be Don Juan and call one of his many girlfriends. However, even though he makes plans with her, it’s obvious that he’s somewhat distracted. He’s probably thinking about Helena.
Helena and her mom get to talk. Her mom wisely advises that Helena take things slowly and to be careful with what she does. Silvia asks Helena if she’s falling in love with Juan. The answer is avoided. That parallels what happened with Juan Carlos and his mom.
Plutarco gives Rebeca the same gift he gave Antonia. Rebeca loves it and can’t really focus on much else. Plutarco uses this to his advantage and threatens to take it away from her if she doesn’t spill the beans regarding the project. She lets him know that the Canadian competition is going to sponsor a small travel agency called “Viages Moreno.” Plutarco begins to remember his conversations with Felix and what happened with the cancelled tour and how it went to “Viages Moreno.”
At the office, Lucia tries to get a distracted Helena’s attention. She succeeds, and they talk. Helena can’t hide that she’s thinking about Juan. She lets Lucia know that if she were to start a relationship with him, it would have to be very serious. They’d share a lot and he’d incorporate himself into her work projects. She’s fallen hard, and Lucia razzes her about it.
At work, there’s a scene between two best buds…Juan Carlos and Santiago. Santiago is razzed about getting married and about the women he chooses. Santiago then brings up the project and lets Juan Carlos know that he doesn’t see how things are going to work out if Helena isn’t saying a word to him. Juan Carlos has a plan! It is also noticed that Juan Carlos seems a bit conflicted or guilty about what he’s doing to Helena.
Plutarco asks Onesimo to be a sort of spy or informant regarding Helena’s travel agency and her relationship with Juan Carlos. He goes to the agency and charms Lucia. When Lucia goes to get him some coffee and cookies, Onesimo takes the opportunity to take the information directly involved with the project. He will charge Plutarco double for this particular favor.
Things continue to get rough for Plutarco. First, his wife goes to Grupo Imperio to kidnap him for the day. He tries to say no, but Antonia knows the right things to do. She asks her big brother permission to take her husband. Adriano is glad to oblige.
Rebeca and Antonia see one another, and Rebeca notices Antonia’s bracelet. Another strike for Plutarco, because Rebeca noticed that it was basically the same thing. She’s NOT happy about that.
Finally, Adriano thanks Plutarco for being such a good husband to his sister and for making her happy. He does threaten him that if he does anything to hurt her, he’ll kill him.
Just as Antonia is happily looking for her husband, she overhears Juan Carlos and his buddies make some pretty insensitive comments about her and her weight. She goes into a depression and calls everything off with Plutarco and their date.
Plutarco doesn’t really care what might have upset Antonia, but Rebeca comes in, upset and ready to let him have it. She tries to be a drama queen and get her way with him, but he’s smart and lets her know that he’s aware of her little fling with Juan Carlos. That kind of puts Rebeca in her place, and she takes it easier on Plutarco.
At the travel agency, Helena notices that the information for her big project is missing. She is puzzled, as is Lucia. Right then, Juan calls but doesn’t ask Lucia for Helena. She’s bummed but thankful for Juan’s indirect honesty. Lucia knows that her friend is suffering and decides to take that opportunity to invite her for a girls’ night out. They intend to celebrate the new agency. Helena finally relents and goes with Lucia. Lucia’s idea is to go to a play, and that puzzles Helena because she knows that Lucia is not really into theater.
While that happens, back at the Moreno house, Eduardo leaves for his trip but says he’ll call in a few hours. Helena better be home.
Plutarco gets the information from Onesimo. He’s happy with what Onesimo discovered and remarks that he’s going to use the information to harm Juan Carlos.
Lucia takes Helena to an empty theater. Helena is very puzzled, and Lucia decides to check with the ticket people regarding time and such. The lights go out, and Juan puts on a show of his own for Helena. Oh man! Nice plan, all in all. Lucia did a nice job of going along with things.
During the song, he asks Helena to be his girlfriend, and she gladly accepts!
