Abismo de pasión #134 9/20/12: Swept Away by an Interminable Destiny in the Blue Sea of Dumbness
Redux in Marta’s words:
As a final scene, we get Dam caressing Elisa, stands up from the mat, but then remembers Elisa yelling mad at him, and…
1) Swearing she now loves Gael more than she ever loved him
2) He has been so naïve he never realized she is everything the town has been saying about her. (with accompanying gestures that remind the audience of her Teresa character)
3) She slept with Gael. So if you brought me here to prevent that, too late. Your friend already had me.
Way to torture yourself, stoopid boy.. didn’t you just have her swear love to you?
Lo Nuevo: Ooh la la, there’s Dam in his tighty whities and Elisa showing up in, well her whitie lacey butt floss to play Florence Nightingale.
Padre visits sis to pray over her and tell her desafordunadamente there is still no word about Dam. Sweet dreams sis.
Elisa makes shoving pills down Dam’s throat seem like foreplay. They swap spit, say Ramona was right as usual and promise to be with each other forever.
Gabino visits Carmina, hips through the door first, and promises her Paolo will never bother her again. She invites him upstairs, hopefully for a shower and to do each others’ hair because lord have mercy they both need it.
Mr. Rapey Snake on Two Wheels is traveling down a dark road and sees a luscious lovely with her head under her car’s hood and her shapely bootie acting as a bug light for perverts. He stops, introduces himself and is immediately beaten to a pulp and stabbed by Gabino’s pals. They toss him in the trunk and give Paolo’s bike to the chica as payment. I think Gabino would like this chick if he weren’t so obsessed by the Orange Ojitos.

Por ella soy Eva #47 9/20/12: Eva Turns the Tables on Plutarco... or Does She?
Samantha (who along with "Max Montero" framed JC for fraud) is in Plutarco's office, and he tells her she can't be showing up here [he says that a lot]. She wants a job at Grupo Imperio and threatens him with telling the truth to get it. She leaves, telling him she'll be waiting for his call, and runs into Eva in the hallway. She reminds Eva she owes her a favor, to which Eva replies she has a mind like an elephant's and promises to help her get hired at GI.
Santiago asks Fernando about Kevin's future career as a rock star, like Jimi Hendrix, and Fernando asserts that Kevin will be a heavy metal star... while he covers up the video of a harp player on his computer.
Now Rebeca is in Pluto's office, saying she would like a guarantee that he will marry her. He asks, "Isn't my word enough for you?" She tells her Cuchito that words fly out the window; she wants jewels.
The Evalettes are in Eva's new office (formerly that of her beloved Antonia's). They are fussing over Eva and she tells them not to treat her differently now that she's an owner. They are hesitant to talk about being Eva's assistant, and she drags out of them it's because of Juan Carlos, may he rest in peace. JC had said that when women are promoted, that's when problems begin in the office. Eva calls him an imbecile. Here women can develop professionally, and Eva gives the examples of Helena and Marcela. The Evalettes think this is temporary, that perhaps things would have been different with dona Antonia. Eva asserts that she is going to change things around here.
Plutarco tells Helena Helena Helena
Now Pluto is in Adriano's office, saying he's worried now that Eva is part owner she will hire a bunch of women in positions of power and turn this into a women's business. Adriano says that he is the major owner and that will never happen while he's alive .
The Evalettes have dragged Eva to a male strip club. Oh the horrors. They push Eva up onto the dance floor with one of the strippers, Eva struggling the whole time not to go. While the dancer proceeds to remove various articles of his clothing, Eva continually tries to politely excuse herself from the joven's company. Finally the stripper takes off his mask. Cara de impacta de Eva! It's Max Montero, the one who framed JC for fraud. Max goes to his dressing room and Eva follows after extricating herself from the Evalettes. But Max has gone, and another stripper (who suggestively offers to take Max's place while Eva hits him to ward him off) tells her the guy's name is Gino but doesn't know his last name. Eva hits him some more. "Does your mother know you work here? Put on a shirt."
Lucia invites Renato to come to her house for dinner... for the night... no, for dinner because she means dinner is at night... well, maybe breakfast... no wait! ...dinner. At dinner, Lucia lies about cooking it all afternoon (she bought it) and Renato says it reminds him of his mother's cooking. After dinner, Renato says enough about me, what's up with that project Playa Majagua? Lucia tells him what she knows and she moves in for the kill. Speed Racer politely excuses himself, saying they have to get up early for work tomorrow. Lucia checks her breath.
JC is telling Mimi about the evening's events, demonstrating how those strippers were grinding their bodies at the audience. Mimi laughs at his discomfort and he tells her she's coming with him tomorrow to find this guy. Mimi lights up at the idea and JC warns her she's not going to a party, she's going to work, to investigate.
Pluto is in his office behaving like Snidely Whiplash and setting fire to a picture of Antonia when Eva comes in to compliment him on his generous offer to Helena and Lalo. Well, I love to help people, Pluto humbly answers in his shiny silver shark suit. Eva applauds him and Pluto asks for her help, now that they are associates, in convincing Helena ALL the employees. Heh heh. Eva got him good. Pluto smiles uncomfortably and Rebeca looks incensed. But Helena

Refugio Para el Amor #117 Thu 9/20/12 The Truth, It Has A Habit of Revealing Itself... M. Hercule Poirot
Torreslanda Bidness, Luci's Office:
Luci is telling Claudio about the plane Pato has reserved for Paz, Magda, Namaruchi and Ariche. Claudio will get Norma to reserve hotel rooms for them. Claudio calls Paz and hands the phone to Luci. Paz is with Namaruchi and Magda. Luci tells them she would love for all three and Ariche to come to the D.F. since she can't come home just yet. They are thrilled to come and Luci says no bus this time, reserved a corporate jet. They can't wait to come to the D.F., especially Magda, who is just wanting to see her Violetta.
In The Hood, Vio's Apartment:
Vio calls Luci and Luci may not have ratted Vio out to her Mama Magda, but Luci informs Vio that her Mama will be in the D.F. this evening and probably going to her apartment first thing. Vio asks Luci if she told her Mama Magda about Don A. Luci says of course not, but Vio has a scheduling conflict cause she will be seeing Don A this evening too. Ruh Roh! Luci is pithed that Vio hasn't said anything to her Mama Magda, and Mama will throw a fit when she finds out Vio is engaged to Don A. Vio doesn't want to be poor anymore and besides she is meeting Don A shortly and she gets off the phone with Luci.
Torreslanda Bidness, Rod's Office:
Rod is having a meeting with Marcos and Gabe, and who should come in interrrupting and strutting her stuff, anyone?? That's right, its wifey pooh Gagme. She has come to inform him she wants him to come to her gyno appointment with her. She complains he's always working, no time for wife or bebe, in other words, she is trying to embarass poor Rod in front of his friends. Gabe and Marcos are smart though and take their leave, but not before they wish her luck at the gyno, lol. After they go, our Rod tells Gagme, look I'm working, in other words, why did you come here when you know I can't stand you? She really wants him to go with her, and he finally caves.
Club Inferno:
Aldo and Lastra are having a meeting in Lastra's office and they are following Max's instructions, which we still don't know about. Ivan comes into the office to inform Lastra that Vio is here to see him. Lastra leaves the office and Aldo has grabbed Lastra's chair, forcing Ivan to take the one in front of the desk. He says now we are equals in dress, Ivan. Ivan is giving Aldo the stink eye to the side, cause he won't look at Aldo.

AMOR BRAVÍO EXTRA – Alonso Lazcano or New Standards for a Mama’s Boy - 9/20/12
Alonso Lazcano González Sánchez
This is a compilation
of CarayCaray recappers’ and commenters’
impressions of Alonso covering Episodes #1 – 14 (August 13 - 23). It
didn’t take us long to figure him out. Everyone, Enjoy!
Key:
If a word or phrase is in parens, it’s part of the original.
If a word or phrase is in brackets, I put them there for clarification or editorial comment. As compiler, I also took the liberty to make small corrections in spelling and punctuation.
If there are ....., unimportant words have been left out, or were there in the original.
We don’t meet Alonso until he comes up behind Camila and addresses her as “Princesa.”
This man is a predator in business wear and she should be
able to recognize that. (We need to determine what species of reptile he is;
I'm thinking Komodo Dragon.)
…did he really say "Are you grateful for this news of
my proposal?"
Camila marries into a den of reptiles.
What a shame that the man Camila opens her heart to after
the death of her first love is a creepy snake.
Love the big, fluffy dog.
I just hope that Camila doesn't stay married to Alonso for
long. I can't stand looking at him.
He has that oily, smarmy smile.
Alonso as a Komodo Dragon= Perfecto!
Boy that creepy guy was the most creepy guy I have ever
seen. It would give me the heeby jeebies to have to play a part with him. What
a snake.
Waiting to see how come Camilla accepts what she don't want
from Slimey. Please give us a smart heroine, please, please.
Alonso es un gran partido (great match), quapo, hard worker,
and trustworthy. [This is only according to Gushing Gussie.]
[On the phone] Ximena reminds her [mother] that she’s said
many times that happiness doesn’t exist, only happy moments. So don’t come telling her that Camila has
found happiness with that Don Nadie (Mr. Nobody).
[At the wedding] Alonso looks like the smarmy snake that he
is and Isadora [his mother] looks, well, EVIL!!
[During the] (Luna de miel Amarga) Alonso finally returns
[to the honeymoon suite, after a non-starter wedding night he blamed on Camila]. He climbs, no slithers, into bed next to her
and asks for her forgiveness. She pushes
him away asking how he expects her to feel after the way he treated her. He tries to explain how badly he felt about
what happened (or didn’t happen).
What a reptile. Did anyone else notice the evil eyes?
Impotence is the perfect interim punishment for this predator.
He is one whack job. I agree, he has the most evil eyes.
Like crazy X3.
I came in late after enjoying a wonderful prime rib dinner.
Almost lost the meal, as I joined at the point of Alonssso in bed with Camila.
Well, it seems that AlonsNO has been doing some false
advertising. The little weasel reminds me a little of Tony Randall ...if Tony
had been a creepy reptile. I thought the shoulder biting at the end of this
episode was especially creepy. Que the hell was that about?
What is up with Alonso. Is he gay, weird, wife beater, nuts,
or is this all an act. Some kind of punishment for stuff that hasn't been
revealed. And, Camila...are we to believe they have been hanging around for two
years and she hasn't once glimpsed this nut bag, mommies boy let alone engaged
in "canoodling." And, what are her reasons for marriage: it's time;
it will make Mommie happy; it will make Tio happy. I know it is early on in
this telenovela but this one should have come with a starter kit or instruction
manual.
They haven't even been married a day, and already he's being
a jealous abuser. Run Camila, RUN!!!
What reptile did Isadora sleep with to produce Alonsssso?
We have not heard much about the (presumably late) Senor
Lazcano. [Isadora] had one line about him that suggests that he was much older
than she. But then again, komodo dragons
are capable of parthenogenesis.
AlonsNO - perfect name for this reptilian leftover. He is
really nuts. He is obsessed with Camila's money, takes orders from mommie (who
obviously intimidates and emasculates him) and has absolutely no stones
whatsoever. Typical tn fashion to blame
the victim (Camila) for his impotence! Couldn't happen to a better guy. He is
creepy and hard to watch.
Like everyone has said, Alonso is a major creep. Scary,
gross, dangerous. Mommy Dearest has definitely emasculated him. He can probably
only "perform" with girls he considers un-marriable, or someone his
mother hasn't forced on him. Although he is a bit thin, he did look a bit
effeminate in that outfit at the hotel. It was only a light blue hoodie and
white pants, but c'mon, look at the difference between him and Daniel, in
yellow pants on his honeymoon - nothing effeminate about him at all.
Wow, I can't believe how creepy AlonsNo is. I give SN credit
and acting kudos b/c the actor is so icky I wouldn't want to touch him.
Alonssssso...for some reason he reminds me of Francisco from
Destilando Amor, only in a smaller package and with concentrated crazy (to save
you money!). And damn if after one and a half episodes, I don't already want
Eduardo Yañez to just run into a scene out of nowhere and punch him in the
face.
I think Snakey Alonso is a psychopath. If Camila's mother
says 'he aint so bad' I want Camila to reply: well you live with him anyplace
else but here.
Alonso....Oh, I see. A female version of Cynthia in LQNPA
[but without working equipment].
Personally, I'd have never looked twice at that
smarmy-looking, cake-pop on a stick! Camila was one hard up broad to have ever
dated the dude, let alone agreed to marry him! I just don't see it! I had to
tighten my beanie and turn the dial up a couple notches on the antennae to even
make it through the wedding…and that bed-scene??? OMG!
If Alonso doesn't realize that komodo dragons are capable of
eating their own young he should do his homework on that as well.
Alonso starts to bite a claw, but [mama dragon] slaps his
hand.
It is so unbelievable that Cam would have even fallen for
this guy and he's such a whiny wuss.
No doubt! Isadora Dragon is definitely responsible for how
her pup turned out.
He is so smarmy that it makes us despise him, which we are
supposed to. Camila may have married him because she thought that she would
never love someone again like she loved [Luis] and thought that at least Alonso
cares about her and she was lonely.
AlonsNo is definitely a "whipped," weak man. I
can't call him a puppy, it would be a slam to all puppies in viewerville.
[Camila] doesn't even want to share a meal with him much
less sleep with him. Wondering how Alonso will get her to put up with him.
Alone-so definitely reminds me of a smarmy, nasty version of
Tony Randall, who I still enjoy watching in those Doris Day/Rock Hudson movies.
Little lesson for you here, dumbass…when you have to explain
to people that you're the one in charge…YOU'RE NOT! Real men don't have to remind people every
five minutes that they're men. You are
nothing but a boy with a Napoleon complex and a cheap suit. He walks out and she looks sadly at the
portrait of Tio Don "I Never Had To Remind Everybody My Balls Were The
Biggest" Daniel.

Por ella soy Eva #46 9/19/12: A View From The Parallel Universe- Ed Gives Lalito To His Mother
Silvia is reading the letter that Eduardo left and is searching frantically for him, when she finds out the she is locked in her house.
Helena is happy to begin the second phase of the Mayagua Beach project and. Pluto is still a little bitter over the inheritance and reminds Adriano that Eva has to bring in her documents (passport, i.d., etc.) so that she can become an official shareholder. A celebration is planned for the suppliers and the company and Rebeca will be the party planner. (Do I hear a leopard print party?)
Silvia realizes that she is locked in the house.
Pluto apologizes for making Helena uncomfortable when he said that he wanted a woman like Helena. Pluto is a little down, because he and his wife didn’t have children. Oh, Helena is such a wonderful friend. Plleeeaaasssse!
Back to Dona Chivis as Eva calls her. She calls GI and leaves a message for Helena. (Seriously, I would have climbed out of a window or broke a window to get out, but this is telenovela land) So she looks for the keys!! Yay, she found them.
Pluto and Rebeca are actually working briefly in this scene. He is telling her about organizing the celebratory event and she is taking notes on her ipad. They kiss, but he is wishing that it was Helena. Rebeca is ready to get married and Pluto refuses-Antonia’s body isn’t even cold in her grave yet. They will have to wait. Poor Rebeca she has waited for years. Estupida!
Eduardo goes to pick up Lalito at school, under the premise that there is an emergency. That old goat healed fast!
Helena was crying and thinking about JC and the last time that she saw him was at Lalito’s game. Eva makes Helena laugh, with the song- Life is the color pink and they dance around the office as only Camil and Lucero can.
Just as Lalito and Eduardo were leaving the school, Silvia arrives. She tells Lalito to wait by the school’s gate, because grown folks are going to talk. She FINALLY speaks up and tells Eduardo that he will take Lalito over her dead body!!! Eduardo is not well enough to care for his grandson, how will he take care of him, where will they go, you will ruin the boy. She let him know that he is not his father; he is his grandfather (I know that viewer Ville was cheering!!) Stay in your place, you want Lalito to be the son that we never had!!! (Whoa!!!!, I was screaming as if I was watching the Super bowl)
Eva took Helena to her favorite garden. It was beautiful. Helena remembered coming there the last time with Juan. Eva pointed out that twice today she thought about Juan, and Eva did a little happy dance. (Not for nothing, but Camil has the nicest male legs on a woman.) When she was in college, it was there that she developed the Mayagua Beach project. They were so relaxed that they agreed to turn off their cell phones and bask in the tranquility.
Eduardo did not want to speak about the past, but Silva said we are going to talk. Lalito is Helena’s son, Helena is a good daughter and maybe one day she will marry and Lalito will have a family independent of Silvia and Eduardo. Eduardo tried to put Helena down, but Silvia stood her ground. Eduardo and his suitcase retreated back home.
Helena was happy because she was living her dream, her Mayagua Beach project is coming into fruition, she and Lalito will live together, but she is still thinking about Juan. Eva told her that wherever he is he is thinking about you too! Helena thanked Eva for being such a good friend! (Camil has that female walk down pat!)
We see the new opening for the show.
Oneismo (my goodness, he is always eating, just like Tomas in LFMB) and Pluto are talking in his office. Pluto is a little ticked off because he can’t reach Helena by cell. He admits that she is driving him crazy. Pluto tells Oneismo to get his paws off of the furniture. He corrects him; they are feet and proceeds to put them on the table. He tries to call Helena again.
Mr. Manly Mustache Chauvinist (MMMC) is telling Santiago that his son is an artist. Santiago doesn’t see any problem with it. Of course MMMC is complaining as usual, that he will be a starving artist, but Santiago says he could be a rock star. While he is hallucinating, Marsela peeks in and MMMC shares that Kevin will be a rock star. Everyone is chanting Kevin and no one is working as usual.
As soon as Helena steps off of the elevator Pluto calls her (like a lovesick puppy) and wants to know where she was and she explains that she had turned off her cell phone. Of course Pluto has a surprise for Helena and Eva chimes in but Pluto pulls rank and reminds Eva that she is still Helena’s assistant for the time being and she has to take orders and he can give Helena the afternoon off. (Am I wrong or didn’t Helena just come back from a few hours off?)
Loose Lucia is having drinks with Renato and he wants to know how old she is? (Hmm, older than him??) Of course she lies and says that she is the same age as he is. (Really?)
OMG!! Lalito is trying on Eduardo’s uniform hat and Eduardo is giving it to him as a gift and he does not have his usual scowl face. Pluto and Helena arrive. Pluto wants to make an announcement- since he can’t have kids, he will pay for Lalito’s education.
Thank goodness Helena has the good sense to not accept such a generous gift. (I am impactada!!) Eduardo is agreeing with Helena!! Uh Pluto gives Lalito the pervert hug even Eduardo looked at him sideways, while Eva is peeking from outside.
(I really wanted to FF, because I cringe when Santiago says bebe) He wanted to show her his motorcycle. Patti told him that she would rather have a car; they have to think that once they are married, they will have a family, blah, blah, blah. (What a waste)
A drunken, Loose Lucia is brought home by Renato. They have a drunken conversation about her age and then she proceeds to let out by mouth all of the tequilas that she had consumed.
Marsela tries to encourage Kevin to do what he wants irrespective of what MMMC thinks. He should still go to school, though.
JC is frustrated in being Eva because he wants to be able to caress Helena but can’t. Pluto has an advantage over him. Mimi gives him his “official” papers.
MMMC agrees to Kevin taking music lessons. Of course MMMC is still thinking about Kevin being a rock star. He will be his manager. Uh Kevin is studying the harp!! Do I hear, The Philharmonic??
Pluto offers to pay Eva off in order to acquire her 20% of the shares. Modesto arrives and Eva hands over her “papers” to Pluto’s disgust. It’s official- Eva is a partner! Everyone is kissing up to her except Pluto.
MMMC is not working in his office, looking at a harp being played on the computer. Once again complaining about Kevin playing the harp, it’s not macho.
Eva has a laugh at Pluto ‘s expense. Lets’ call ourselves the Three Galaxies- 3 Fs, the formal, the two fisted and the ugly. Adriano lets out a belly laugh.
Loose Lucia in sunglasses meets Renato in the hallway. Renato asks how she is? He also had a good time. (He is too good to be true- what is he up to?)
Eva will be in charge of JC old department. Adriano enjoys talking to her and Eva reminds him that they will be partners, nothing else.
Due to a timing issue on Univision, I missed the last scene. If anyone was able to see it please do not hesitate to add.

Abismo de pasión #133 9/19/12: Dam/Elisa finally find their circle of love(Fantasy Island, anyone?) while the hen house is out of control back in La Ermita... does anyone there work at all anymore?
Refrito:
Gab/Carm: with me you have a REAL man…
Paolo/Flo: I am leaving… ok, go. I am staying, my dad was buried here. Why? None of your bidness. Its cause of Kike? Bye.
Palo/Kike: I came up with one more stoopid decision made. I’m leaving town so I give you back your word of marriage. Go talk to Gael. No. cause no, your situation and mine are not the same. Flo is free, and I know she loves you and you love her...
Loopy/Alfie: I got a whole bucket list before I ‘go’. Have to talk to my boy and apologize. It was not my fault, I did not help Flo trick him. She deceived me too. I am also afraid all my life I have been wrong. If I am no longer around, you have to find out the truth… what truth?... (she takes a breath and leans over, Loopy fears time is up on little botox sis)
At beach, Elisa gallops away on Damian. Poor Dam falls to sand devastated.
Lo Nuevo:
Carmina has debriefed Gabino and he is sitting on a rocking chair, hand bandana dirtier than ever… blue head band… Carmina at his feet like a door mat (weird to see her in this position when she has always called the shots on her relationships), they are enjoying the chat about all the folks who have had a streak of bad luck lately… Gabino swears to Carmina that he will get Alfie to ally with Carmina to destroy Elisa.
At hacienda, Tonia is worried talking to Loopy. Maybe Dona Alf is faking it… not this time. Edmundo confirms that Alfie is seriously ill … have to get her to agree to let a cardiologist see her, try to get her sent to Merida hospital.
Elisa gets to a small pharmacy/store near beach, calls Lucio. Lucio is excited to hear from her finally. He asks her where she is… she seems to think about it on the spot, then does not tell. She just tells him that she is ok and not to worry. Hangs up. Lucio passes the news to Lolita. Lolita says it doesn’t add up. They need to let Gael know.
Back to Alfie’s bed and her bucket list… sorry Loopy, letting a cardiologist examine her is not on her bucket list, so no go. All items on her list have the name Damian on them. Loopy asks her to clarify what is it she was wrong about. But then Tonia interrupts them to tell her Gabino is there to see her urgently. Loopy wants to send him away but Alfie wonders if Gabino has news on Damian or wants to talk of something important. Loopy says ‘as always it will be done as you want’(como siempre, como tu quieras). Alfie wabbles her way to couch. Gabino comes and gives her some small talk and reminds her when she asked him to bring Dam/Elisa when they escaped as kids. Alfie not willing to deal with him again. He is not so sure, he could go find them again. Alfie wonders the price of that task. The stock? Gabino says I voluntarily offer you the plane tickets I have here with me. (Alfie is suddenly very interested) He claims the tickets are of no value for him, she says Ingrid has told me otherwise, she assured me the name on the ticket is another woman. Gab turns it around on Ingrid. What II sold you was her own pride. She knew that planting doubt in you would make you drool harder for the tickets. Gab suddenly has a painful twitch and twists his head in pain… voices a tantrum about II swearing he was the man of her life, only to turn on him and shoot him on the head. Alfie not quite feeling sorry for him. She knows II is B… but you are not that far behind… I don’t trust you either. Gab says he came in peace. Gives her the tickets. If you never had a proof that Rosie and Stefie were lovers, here it is. I hope you will find a good way to thank me for them and for realizing you were right. Alfie can’t hide the pride/satisfaction. Find my son and Elisa pronto, then we will sit to negotiate.
At beach, Elisa gets back and notices Dam has high fever. HE wakes up and wonders if he is dreaming or if she is really back. She gives him pain/fever meds she got at the store for him. (DZ is doing a good job with acting feverish, crossing his arms trying to keep himself warm)… she helps him take the pills with water. Then lets him lay down again. HE asks her ‘no me dejes’ (don’t leave me). She won’t. He needs to rest. She notices he has his amulet on his neck. After Dam is asleep again, Elisa takes the papers out of the leather bag. Reads the divorce document… then Flo’s letter. Elisa visibly impactada.
At hacienda, Loopy comes back to Alfie’s room. What did Gab come to? To remind me that Stefie, Carmina or Elisa.. the Bouvier Supremes, are guilty of my past and my present misery…
At cenote, Gael is upset/irate, grabbing a tree and is going beserk screaming and crying, taking his anger to another notch… Paloma watches him crying from the other side of cenote. I(somehow i can see Gael as the big bad wolf blowing the beach hut down...) Then Paloma goes home to Ramona. She understands Gael’s anger, but she can’t sit and wait for the day Dam and Elisa return to watch Gael take revenge on them. Ramona says there is a way to detour Gael’s anger/focus. Paloma says no, won’t tell him. Don’t want him to know.. ever!. Won’t marry Kike now. Pal admits Ramona was right in everything. ‘you don’t say!’ (no me digas!) Just add it to my tab list of mistakes. So what now? I am going far away. Will start over elsewhere. Ramona ironically says then we will never see each other again. Paloma asks her to come with her. Ramona makes Paloma wait until next segment… Nah!, my place is here. Paloma is afraid they won’t see each other again. Ramona does not really want to see Paloma make it alone with a child. Think about it. Running away won’t make you get over your feelings for Gael. Paloma knows that but will avoid seeing him daily. Maybe will be able to start over and be happy elsewhere. Ramona says you are right, you will never be happy as long as Gael loves someone else, Elisa is tattooed in his gut…Only death would make Gael stop loving her.
At beach, Elisa is frantically looking for her amulet that she threw away… can’t find it. She comes back to hut. (have to note her dress is miraculously white still…) she brings a lamp over to Dam, it is nighttime now. Dam wakes up, seems his fever has let down some, she smiles. He is better, I think. He asks her why she came back. She felt remorse to leave him behind ill. HE is not getting it. Why did she worry if she was set on killing him. She never meant to kill him. But he questions that, she is not willing to argue so she gets up. HE will bring her back to LaErmita tomorrow. He has got it that she does not want to be with him, but with Gael.
Now they are sitting at a table. Not exactly a very lady-like posture on Elisa, so I hope Lolita will be around to teach Elisa’s kids a more proper behavior for young ladies… Elisa notes the owner of the hut has been really nice to them bringing them food. Elisa had to give her earrings to the pharmacy guy for the meds. Dam will get them back for her. Elisa plays nurse/mom on him, have to finish the meds. Thank you. NP. Dam stands up but gets dizzy. Elisa worries his fever is back, caresses his face. He gives her back her amulet, saying maybe she dropped it. He puts it on her, and is about to kiss her… close but no cigar. She turns away. He grabs his straw mat and is heading out. She says you can’t sleep outside feeling ill. She follows him out, she won’t allow him to sleep alone out there. HE asks if she really worries for him. She says more than I wish. They kiss slow and passionately… BU-YA!!! (somehow I am let down by the scene… is it lack of chemistry? Is it that they are two stoopid youts who have no clue what they feel? Not sure) Her undies are very lacey… shorty shorts, what else?
At Lucio’s Gael is mad that Lucio did not get more info. He is not even sure Elisa is as ‘ok’ as she said she is. Easy for everyone to criticize him if they are not in his shoes. Lucio compares him to Augusto after Stefie’s accident. Gael himself criticized him for going on self-destruct mode. Gael says now he understands Augie. And even justify him. Just like him, my best friend stole the woman of my life!!
Back to lovebirds in the dark beach… tell me I am not dreaming. Tell me you are here with me and it is not a fever delirium. I am with you here. Loving you as I always dreamed to do. Need you to tell me you love me.. I love you. I love you as I have never loved before. I will always love you. My Elisa… tonight you are mine, only mine!...
At quinta, Lolita comes over to tell Carmina Elisa called to say she is ok. Carmina tries to mock Lolita that Elisa is only following her mom’s footsteps but Lolita won’t have any. Sad that a woman like you, having had a chance to have it all, would finish … (asi) like this (making gesture with fingers of something small/insignificant). Carmina demands Lolita leave the keys, Lolita fakes handing them over to her but ends up walking away and dropping them on the foyer table (nice touch, Lolita!)
Paolo and Gabino meet at the Rincon café… Paolo mocks Gabino on being the new boy-toy for Carmina. Gabino says we were destined to be together and I have waited long to be with her in the conditions I wanted. But let me tell you Carmina is a darn plague with no cure. Gabino brags nothing can finish him off, not even a bullet in the head. Paolo says don’t worry about me I will be gone tomorrow. Gabino denies owing him anything, and if you appreciate your filthy life, just go away. On his way out Paolo leaves him a final comment a la Gerry Springer… that bullet in the head is playing you… Two guys sitting at next table follow Paolo out and since Gabino turned and watched it happen, we could 'infer' that Paolo's breaths left are numbered... (thank you Ann-NYC and EJ for noting that, totally missed it) (I have a question... does Gabino really believe he is ALL THAT that Carmina will stay true and loyal to him for good? poor Gabino, dream on! you are just one of her 'peons' she uses to make her moves.)
At hacienda, Edmundo is commenting with Loopy that Alfie needs further tests, the EKG showed some irregularities. What she has is a blockage in the heart (sounds mighty serious... ). He can’t force her to admit herself to hospital. The cardiologist set up a rigorous treatment plan for her, she has to follow it strictly. Loopy will do his best to convince her to go.
Gael stops by quinta to find out if Carmina has heard of Elisa… Carmina tries another swing at feeding his jealousy saying Elisa still oves Dam. Gael avoids the shot again … missed again Carmina! (actually, I bet Gael doesn’t even believe what he responded to Carmina, that Elisa now loves him, but that is another matter, he did not allow Carmina to get her hit).
As a final scene, we get Dam caressing Elisa, stands up from the mat, but then remembers Elisa yelling mad at him, and…
1) Swearing she now loves Gael more than she ever loved him
2) He has been so naïve he never realized she is everything the town has been saying about her. (with accompanying gestures that remind the audience of her Teresa character)
3) She slept with Gael. So if you brought me here to prevent that, too late. Your friend already had me.
Way to torture yourself, stoopid boy.. didn’t you just have her swear love to you?
Previews:
Dam trying to make Elisa swear she will always be with him.
Dam and Elisa continue the honeymoon… Elisa saying they will have to go back and face the music.
Gael telling Flo Dam took his woman by force… (yeah right, not even you believe that Gael) … he will make Dam pay for that with his own life.
Gabino playing with a shotgun (ready to kill Elisa and/or Dam? or maybe ready to do what everyone else believes Augie did... put an end to his migraines)

Refugio Para el Amor #116 Wed 9/19/12 Oh, No, Vio, How Could You; Oh, Dear, the Cauldron is on the Back Burner, but Simmering; Ho Hum, Gagme is Steppin’ Out on Her Man; Oy Vey, El Nferno is going to El Infierno (a non-denominational location)
Recap by Anita
Las Oficinas de los Torreslanda
Lo de ayer – Rod confronts Max with the truth (according to
Roselena) about his affair and hasn’t found the right time nor the right words
to bring it up until now. Rod knows who it is, the daughter of Don
Jeronimo. He isn’t going to judge, but he wants Max to think about what
it will do to Janna once RE comes out with it and they both know that won’t be
long in coming. Janna is his adored daughter and Rodrigo can’t stand
around and let her be harmed. Max tries to protest that this matter is
strictly personal, something between me and your mother, he says and asks Rod
to stay out of it (but we can tell he’s preoccupied by the possible, nay
probable scenario with RE and the fall out).
Lo de hoy – In Luciana’s office, Selena is teaching her some
basic computer skills. She’s commended on what a quick learner she
is. Papá Claudio comes in. Selena leaves, telling her to practice,
practice, practice. CL wants to know how things are going. OK, but
she’d rather be making sketches. CL wants to know about having lunch
together. She’s hungry and ready. Where would you like to go?
Don’t know, you choose. I know just the place, says papá. Rod stops
them in the hall—looks like a pretext to me, after the warning he got from Luci
yesterday, to keep their meetings strictly about business. Linares says
they are going to lunch. Rod has a report to show Linares—later, of
course. Have a good lunch—and wishing longingly it could be he sitting
across the table from Luciana.
In the TL Master’s Bedroom
Conny is being begged by Roselena to forgive her atrocious
behavior from earlier when she tried to shame Conny about her deepening
relationship with Oscar and her two wild animals/children (by that she means
they aren’t being properly controlled). Surely she can understand that
all this has been hard on her and then this betrayal by Max. Somehow she
manages to turn “all this” around on Conny—You don’t support me the way you
should. Conny says I don’t know what you want, I’m here, that’s a sign of
support. RE begs her to stay. Conny agrees, but only until the
medical tests are completed. After that, she’s seriously considering
Oscar’s proposition. The look on RE’s face is clear—she doesn’t like the
thought of Conny being happy with Oscar, while she’s not.
Lunching at the Oficina
Oscar and Max are eating lunch al fresco under the same
umbrellas where Claudio and co. lunched yesterday; fresh flowers on the table
and everything. He tells Max about asking Conny to move in with
him. There’s not much for Max to say—except you’d better not hurt her,
she is, after all, my SIL and I care for her very much. Os assures him
that he’s very serious. He begins to list her attributes, agreeable,
pretty, sexy, we get along well, wha, don’t you think I could make her
happy? It’s not that, Max just thinks that daily routines can put an end
to love (I think he means the carnal kind). Os asks is that’s what
happened to your marriage—did you tire of it? No, Roselena is still the
most attractive and desireable woman for him, he adds kinda lamely.
Salud. (And end of conversation.)
Lunching at the Tacos de Canasta on the Corner, Inc.
Claudio and Luci eat lunch al fresco, too. Everyone is
having a good time, easygoing banter, while Fabian explains that they would
like to have a storefront, but the cost is excessive. Then Aldo appears
out of nowhere. He tries to show off that he’s the head capitalista and
(main) associate in this taco enterprise. Fabian doesn’t look too happy
with the interruption. Aldo is anxious to get a storefront. Lu
doesn’t think it’s necessary to start off with a big splash, take things
slowly. CL suggests replacing the old bici with a new one before getting
a storefront. Luci thinks it’s a good idea and also they could sell on
different corners. Aldo is feeling a little left out. CL says he’ll
stake them to the new bici or two, or even three, but Lorenzo and Fabian don’t
want a gift. CL, recovering quickly says, who’s talking about a
gift? Call it a loan and you can pay me back as the business
improves. Aldo steps in to welcome Claudio as a new associate and pumps
his hand while Lorenzo and Luci look on quizzically.

Amor Bravío #29 (Uni 24) Tue 9/18/12 Junior Kimodo’s Claws Come Out!
Daniel’s Campfire
Daniel sits alone at his campfire as he ponders the
workings of the evildoers. How is it
possible these scoundrels would stoop so low just for power and money? He flashes back to the murder of his wife and
child, his escape from jail, meeting Camila, and now the attempt on Padrecito’s
life. He prays and wonders what else is
in store for him. He’s already involved
other people and has now agreed to work with Dionicio. He is now very repentant for having doubted
Camila. He begins to sob openly as he
swears he can’t allow rage and hate to overcome him again. There are times he feels he can no longer go
on. He prays for the strength to see
this through and asks God to show him the right path. He doesn’t want to hurt any more people. He continues to sob as he prays for God’s
help.

Abismo de pasión #132 9/18/12: Todos Nuestros Amigos en L'Ermita Tienen Mala Suerte
Doc Tovar's Office
"...Luck is not to be coerced..." -- Albert Camus
After her terrible attack, a shaken and injured Carmina comes to Dr. Tovar's office. She tells her truthful tale, but here Carmina pushes her luck--Edmundo imagines that she is just lying, once again.
Now Carmina tries her usual seductive tricks and makes a huge play for Edmundo. She moves in on him and says that when he kisses her lips he won't be able to forget her...Edmundo wrestles himself away from Agent Orange and refuses her advances. But, with impeccably perfect antagonista timing, Carmina grabs Edmundo and practically forces him into what might be taken for a passionate embrace. At this moment, Begoña comes in and sees the struggling couple. Edmundo breaks away telling Carmina, "Between you and I (there) is absolutely nothing."
Begoña's face registers surprise but the real shock comes when Carmina, who is still toxic even though she has just been victimized, sprays her poison into the room--she tells Edmundo not to deny that they were lovers, four times, months ago. Way to be specific, Carmina.
Edmundo sees his recent détente with Begoña collapse. A horrified Begone tells Carmina, "I can't believe how wrong I was about you. How stupid I was." Wow, she is just now noticing! Begoña stalks out. Edmundo chases her, but Begoña is done with Edmundo (for the moment). Edmundo manhandles Carmina and throws her out of his office.
Merida, at the Neurosurgeon's Office
"He was just a coward and that was the worst luck any many could have." -- Ernest Hemingway, For Whom the Bell Tolls
Gabino comes in to see the neurologist dude. Gabino is a bad man, good at inflicting pain on others, but his own threshold for pain is very low. He has a BAD headache and he demands that something be done to rid him of the pain. Gabino menaces the doc with some serious attitude and the doc tells him to calm down. In order to help him they need to do some tomographic studies of his cabeza but he must be calm. We see Gabino, once again donned in his fetching hospital gown with sensors on his head as the doc does the CAT scans. I 'll give you two options for WHY Gabino has such a headache. Could it be...the bullet in his brain or the festering guacamole still in the bullet hole? Stay tuned...

Por ella soy Eva #45 9/18/12: It's time for the good guys to win one, please?
- Pluto puts the screws on Helena while Eva eavesdrops and comes barging in to interfere.
Rebeca apologizes to Pluto for her lousy attitude and says that since he doesn’t want to be around her now, they should break up. “Just forget all those games we have... the 5-star hotels, our corporate meetings in the jacuzzi...” This revs him up and they have sex on the desk, goodbye to disfunction.
Rebe crows to her black-haired friend: “Your advice worked perfectly. I’m a genius.” “I won’t congratulate you until you’re married.” Incidentally, when the boss told this friend to quit yakking on the phone, she quit her job.
- Helena to Eva: “When you’re a stockholder you won’t want to be a secretary any more.” “On the contrary! I know what, I’ll give the shares to you!” This earns her back the points she loses every time she butts into Helena’s private business. Helena smiles: “I’ve worked for everything I’ve had in this life and that’s how I’ll continue.” JC is smitten again. His stare makes Helena nervous.
They go off to have a talk with Helena’s mom, saying: “You need to talk about what happened when you lost your baby.” Silvia refuses to tell, saying “All that’s left to women like me is dignity.” Eva sends Helena off to pick up Lalo at school and coaxes mom out of her room: “Like you, I’m a woman who has suffered a lot.”
Eva tells a porky: “When I was six I saw my uncle shake and beat my aunt. We thought they were playing... and afterwards my aunt pretended nothing was wrong.” “One never imagines one’s spouse could do such things.” “My Aunt stayed with him to the last day of her life.” “I understand that.” “Nobody has the right to maltreat us in any way.”
- To quickly dispatch the tedious subplot of Marcela’s husband the orangutan: he’s forced her to accompany him as he sneaks around following their son. When the kid meets up with a guy, the parents sneak through the gate. Fernando grabs his son’s friend and smacks him. Turns out the guy is a music teacher and it’s band practice. The son is furious and embarrassed FF
- Helena tells her son he’ll be able to come live with her starting this weekend. Eduardo listens as Lalo protests: “No, gramps is still sick, you come here with us.”
Eduardo tries convincing Lalo not to go live with his mother. He protests that he loves his grands but he really really loves his mom: “She makes me laugh, she has soft hands, she tells me stories. I love her so much.”
Meanwhile Silvia finally tells her sad story to Helena: “I was young, you were young, I wanted to finish school, I dreamed of a career, but your dad didn’t want that. We fought until … I invented falling down the stairs so the police wouldn’t get involved.” “Why did you stay?” “For you! He protected us, and I thought my love would change him.” “One who’s violent never changes. He’s humiliated both of us for years. Now I see why he’s obsessed with Lalo.” This was a great conversation – I hope it helped any beaten wives who were watching it. Helena can’t believe her mom won’t leave.
- JC tells Mimi how lonely Adriano is. Mimi’s friend is going to give her a chance to meet Maxim Gurtzain on the radio. I dunno if that’s somebody real.
- Silvia tries to talk to her husband about the future. “The only future that interests me is my grandson’s. “Silvia, I want you to help me keep him here with us in this house. “ “I won’t help, his place is with his mother.”
- While Eva and Helena wonder if Silvia will ever see she’d be better off without Eduardo, and joke about some ball game that’s coming up, Silvia looks for her husband but instead finds a note: “I won’t lose my grandson! Helena won’t win this battle! Goodbye.” Silvia is locked in the house! Tomorrow Eduardo is going to steal Lalo from school.
- Helena, not hearing the sound of the anvil dropping, happily tells her co-workers that Playa Majagua phase two is ready. Eva is reminded she has to come up with her documents in order to be a shareholder. Adriano wants a party for their suppliers and associates.

Refugio Para el Amor #115 Tue 9/18/12 "Every Man Is A Damn Fool For At Least Five Minutes Every Day; Wisdom Consists In Not Exceeding The Limit" (Elbert Hubbard)
Well, looks like Rodrigo is once again
exceeding his five minutes of “damn foolishness”. He spends a
considerable amount of time in this episode skulking behind doors,
sniffing around Luciana and Pato's deep friendship and generally
torturing himself with unfounded jealousy. As dear as Pato is, we
all know Luciana is now and forever in love with Rodrigo, regardless
of their hasty divorce. But Rodrigo's punishment and penance is not
to realize this, and to continue suffering the Calvary of married
life with Gala.
Besides Rodrigo's futile self-torture,
what else went on tonight? The writers are relentless in driving
home the message is Life is about Love and Family, but Family is not
defined by blood relationships or names, nor does it bear any
resemblance to the hypocritical, sterile and controlled image of
Family that Roselena is doggedly presenting. Brother Lorenzo (who
will be the baby's godfather) proclaims it clearly when he accepts
that Luciana will have to change her name from Jacinto Flores to
Linares Talancon in order to inherit Claudio's worldly good as he
wishes her to do.
“Names don't matter,” notes
Lorenzo, “love, family, what's in our hearts—that's what matters.
So now let's look at what is in our
characters' hearts tonight. Some of it is sweet, some of it is
confused and bitter; some of what's there is so heinous that it's
chilling.

Abismo de pasión #131 9/17/12- Abysmal Passion
Recap by cathyx
Repeat: Playa del Ejido de San Crisanto -Dam and Elisa are walking down the beach hand in hand. Elisa is still pretending to be mad about her kidnapping. Dam says they need to look for a place to stay the night, and lo and behold, there is cabana for rent. As Dam settles up with the owner, Elisa decides to take a jog down the beach, hoping that Dam will chase after her. He doesnʼt disappoint. Once he catches her, she pretends to be mad saying that she hates him. They go back and forth about how much he loves her, how much she hates him. Finally to put an end to this abysmal passion, she pulls Damʼs gun out (no, thatʼs not a metaphor) and aims it at him. Everyone watching is still sitting back in their seats relaxed, because everyone, including Dam, knows that she will never shoot him, even though heʼs telling her to. She then says to him “Donʼt stop me”. (Elisa dear, heʼs not trying to, in fact heʼs telling you to put him out of his misery). Then she aims the gun to the sky and tries to fire it, but Damʼs gun has no bullets in it. (no, thatʼs not a metaphor either) Elisa is surprised that itʼs empty and yells at him for lying to her. He replies that sheʼs crazy, everyone watching this show knows you werenʼt ever going to shoot me. Itʼs the least she could do for abandoning his wife and child. Do you love Gael? Yes, she says, with all my heart. (We can see she has her fingers crossed behind her back) He carries her to the cabana.
Nuevo- Carmina is wallowing in her aloneness having a solitary dinner. She lit some a lot of candles and pours herself some a lot of wine. It starts to storm outside and that eerie aah aah music starts to play. She gets her drunk on. She finishes dinner and takes her wine with her as she puts out the candles and lights and goes to bed.
Gab shows up at the hospital and wants Doc to give him something for his massive
head ache. Doc tells him itʼs so painful because he has a bullet in his head.
Itʼs nighttime at the cabana and raining hard. Elisa is sitting in a very unladylike position at the table with Dam. I hope sheʼs wearing underwear. The lighting from the candle is not doing either of them any favors with their looks. Elisa says youʼre crazy if you think Iʼm spending the night here. Dam says that heʼs not letting her go back to Gael. Well, heʼs the best lover I ever had, yes, thatʼs right, we did it. Heʼs better than you. Dam says no one is better than him and he leaves.
Dam leaves to get Floʼs envelope from the saddle bag. (Does that poor horse have to stand there the entire night without any oats? PETA!!) Dam reads Floʼs letter.
Sabrina and Flo are sitting together at Docʼs house staring at each other. Thank goodness Enrique arrives to break the silence. He wants to know why Floʼs there and what happened to her fake baby. Sabrina gets up to leave, but not before telling Enrique that she hopes he isnʼt stupid enough to forgive her because she never will.Flo tells Enrique that she gave Dam signed divorce papers and they will be finished. At the same time that Flo is telling Enrique, Damian is reading the same thing in the letter she gave him. It all started when Alfie put my dad in jail for something he didnʼt do. Thatʼs when I decided to come back to La Ermita and figure a way to get Dad out of jail. Alfie said she would let him off if Flo agreed to marry and have Damʼs baby. But Flo found out that she is sterile. But Flo and Alfie plotted to seduce Dam and let him think that she got pregnant. She needed a baby and Sabrina was pregnant. The rest is history.
Dam finishes reading the letter and walks out into the rain. He stays out long enough to get completely soaked. This is where TN rule #28 gets invoked. That rule states that if a person goes out into the rain and gets completely soaked they will then get pneumonia later that day or the next day.
Gael is sitting alone in the house that he bought for Elisa and him. Heʼs remembering back to the time when he showed her the house and how happy they were. Gael tells her his gun is fully loaded and heʼs not afraid to fire it. (That is a metaphor) It was a memorable event because it was one of the few times when Elisa was wearing a respectable dress. Padre arrives and interrupts his flashback to try to convince him to come home. The touching ooh ooh music is playing. Gael promises to kill Damian. No padre says, you are not a killer. Heʼs like your brother. Gael says that no brother would do what he did to him.
Doc informs Gabino that only surgery will stop the pounding in his head. Thatʼs because you have a bullet in your head. Gab wants to know why didnʼt he take it out? Doc says because it is delicate surgery and we needed a specialist. Doc wants to know how it was that Ingrid shot him. Gab says that the only thing that woman cares about is money. If Doc knew who Gaels dad was, heʼd know that heʼd get a big inheritance and she wanted the money from it. Doc asks if he knows where she is? No, but since you were her lover, you should. Gab is just happy that he wasnʼt the only idiot who fell for her.
Enrique and Flo are still talking. Heʼs mad. How could she team up with Paolo and plot to steal Sabrinaʼs baby? She knows it was a bad decision but she was desperate. He doesnʼt want to hear anymore and tells her to beat it. She tells him that after the death of her father, she realized that she did awful things and she now sees the error of her ways and is truly sorry. She wants to go about setting things right. She hopes that he can be happy with Paloma and the baby. He asks what sheʼs going to do and she says she doesnʼt know. He seems to be acting like heʼs warming to her again. (Here is what I would tell Enrique if he were my friend or brother. Enrique, although she may very well be repentant, she has proven that she would do anything if she felt desperate. She plotted to steal first Keniaʼs and then you own sisterʼs baby because she felt that was her only option. So something unethical and illegal is not off the table? In the future, can you trust her to not make the more decisions if she feels desperate again? Some things are just not forgivable, and plotting to steal your sisterʼs baby should be one of them.)
Edmundo visits Begonia. He wanted to tell her that Sabrina is in town and staying at his house. Begonia tells him that Paolo is also in town. She then does her usual and tries to get him to take her back. He tells her he has to leave.
Elisa tells Dam that as soon as it stops raining and she sees a unicorn jumping over the moon, sheʼs leaving. Dam tells her not to try, heʼs going to tie her up. (her look implies that sheʼs not unhappy about that)
Camina is in bed now with her wine. She remembers back to when she killed Augusto. Some pounding noise wakes her up from her revery and she goes to investigate. Paolo meets her at her bedroom door and forces himself in. He is there to pay her back for putting him in jail. Then he rapes her. (At this point, Iʼm reminding myself that Carmina killed 2 innocent people and that she started and continued a lie that has ruined many peoples lives, including the 2 she killed. She is pure evil.) Afterward, Paolo says that he canʼt believe he ever cared about a dried up old hag like her. He insults her more, with words that I donʼt know but I understand.
Ramona tries to get Paloma to drink something (it looks like a yummy smoothy) before she leaves for work. (Iʼll take it if she doesnʼt want it) Alfie arrives to ask Paloma if she knows where Damian and Elisa are. She doesnʼt know, but tells her that they are finally far away from her for once. Then Alf asks why Ramona wanted to talk to Damian before the wedding. Ramona tells Alfie that she told Dam her patented saying that no one can escape their destiny. Not even her.
Back at the cabana, Elisa is asleep on a hammock with her hands and feet tied up. (how kinky) Dam comes in and unties her and starts to cough, (see rule #28) Heʼs brought her breakfast. Tostitos Brand® Tostachos on a plate with melted Velveta® cheese sauce for dipping. (How does anyone sleep in a hammock all night and not need an hour massage by a cabana boy who looks like Damian without a shirt on when they stand up, I donʼt know.) Elisa has a look on her face like she secretly liked being tied up all night and heads for the table to eat. Pass the dip.
Elisa walks outside to wash up and gives the male viewers what they want. She sexily splashes water on her face and neck. Then she looks into her storage unit, also known as her cleavage, and reaches in to retrieve something. Letʼs see, where is it? Hereʼs my lucky rabbitʼs foot, hereʼs my pen that writes really good, hereʼs the ticket stub from that fabulous Pitbull concert in the La Ermita park last July, a couple of pesos for an emergency phone call, and oh, here it is, my amulet. She walks away from the cabana and demonstrates to us how she could have benefited from playing sports as a child by throwing the amulet as far as she is able and it goes about 5 feet away. Dan comes out and tells Elisa to not get any ideas about taking the horse. It wonʼt let her put a saddle on it or let her ride it bareback. He sees the amulet she threw and picks it up.
Begonia comes to Docʼs house with a plate of food to lure Doc into getting back together. He says goodbye and she stays to visit Sabrina. Sabrina wants nothing to do with her.
Alf comes home and tells Antonia that she needs her pills. Padre comes to visit. Alfie is starting to realize the error of her ways, but is still mad at Flo for deceiving her. Padre points out that she did the same thing to her.
Carmina comes to visit Doc at his office. Sheʼs walking slowly, no doubt in pain. She tells him that Paolo is out of jail and that he raped her. Doc is unsympathetic. She cries and wants to know what to do about it. Tells her to go see the on call doctor. Sheʼs upset that heʼs not taking her seriously. She telling him this so he can protect Sabrina. He says that he can protect her just fine and to leave. She starts blubbering about how she needs him and he must still care about her. She starts to kiss him and he is too weak to push her away. Thatʼs when Begonia walks into the office without knocking first.

Repeat: Playa del Ejido de San Crisanto -Dam and Elisa are walking down the beach hand in hand. Elisa is still pretending to be mad about her kidnapping. Dam says they need to look for a place to stay the night, and lo and behold, there is cabana for rent. As Dam settles up with the owner, Elisa decides to take a jog down the beach, hoping that Dam will chase after her. He doesnʼt disappoint. Once he catches her, she pretends to be mad saying that she hates him. They go back and forth about how much he loves her, how much she hates him. Finally to put an end to this abysmal passion, she pulls Damʼs gun out (no, thatʼs not a metaphor) and aims it at him. Everyone watching is still sitting back in their seats relaxed, because everyone, including Dam, knows that she will never shoot him, even though heʼs telling her to. She then says to him “Donʼt stop me”. (Elisa dear, heʼs not trying to, in fact heʼs telling you to put him out of his misery). Then she aims the gun to the sky and tries to fire it, but Damʼs gun has no bullets in it. (no, thatʼs not a metaphor either) Elisa is surprised that itʼs empty and yells at him for lying to her. He replies that sheʼs crazy, everyone watching this show knows you werenʼt ever going to shoot me. Itʼs the least she could do for abandoning his wife and child. Do you love Gael? Yes, she says, with all my heart. (We can see she has her fingers crossed behind her back) He carries her to the cabana.
Nuevo- Carmina is wallowing in her aloneness having a solitary dinner. She lit some a lot of candles and pours herself some a lot of wine. It starts to storm outside and that eerie aah aah music starts to play. She gets her drunk on. She finishes dinner and takes her wine with her as she puts out the candles and lights and goes to bed.
Gab shows up at the hospital and wants Doc to give him something for his massive
head ache. Doc tells him itʼs so painful because he has a bullet in his head.
Itʼs nighttime at the cabana and raining hard. Elisa is sitting in a very unladylike position at the table with Dam. I hope sheʼs wearing underwear. The lighting from the candle is not doing either of them any favors with their looks. Elisa says youʼre crazy if you think Iʼm spending the night here. Dam says that heʼs not letting her go back to Gael. Well, heʼs the best lover I ever had, yes, thatʼs right, we did it. Heʼs better than you. Dam says no one is better than him and he leaves.
Dam leaves to get Floʼs envelope from the saddle bag. (Does that poor horse have to stand there the entire night without any oats? PETA!!) Dam reads Floʼs letter.
Sabrina and Flo are sitting together at Docʼs house staring at each other. Thank goodness Enrique arrives to break the silence. He wants to know why Floʼs there and what happened to her fake baby. Sabrina gets up to leave, but not before telling Enrique that she hopes he isnʼt stupid enough to forgive her because she never will.Flo tells Enrique that she gave Dam signed divorce papers and they will be finished. At the same time that Flo is telling Enrique, Damian is reading the same thing in the letter she gave him. It all started when Alfie put my dad in jail for something he didnʼt do. Thatʼs when I decided to come back to La Ermita and figure a way to get Dad out of jail. Alfie said she would let him off if Flo agreed to marry and have Damʼs baby. But Flo found out that she is sterile. But Flo and Alfie plotted to seduce Dam and let him think that she got pregnant. She needed a baby and Sabrina was pregnant. The rest is history.
Dam finishes reading the letter and walks out into the rain. He stays out long enough to get completely soaked. This is where TN rule #28 gets invoked. That rule states that if a person goes out into the rain and gets completely soaked they will then get pneumonia later that day or the next day.
Gael is sitting alone in the house that he bought for Elisa and him. Heʼs remembering back to the time when he showed her the house and how happy they were. Gael tells her his gun is fully loaded and heʼs not afraid to fire it. (That is a metaphor) It was a memorable event because it was one of the few times when Elisa was wearing a respectable dress. Padre arrives and interrupts his flashback to try to convince him to come home. The touching ooh ooh music is playing. Gael promises to kill Damian. No padre says, you are not a killer. Heʼs like your brother. Gael says that no brother would do what he did to him.
Doc informs Gabino that only surgery will stop the pounding in his head. Thatʼs because you have a bullet in your head. Gab wants to know why didnʼt he take it out? Doc says because it is delicate surgery and we needed a specialist. Doc wants to know how it was that Ingrid shot him. Gab says that the only thing that woman cares about is money. If Doc knew who Gaels dad was, heʼd know that heʼd get a big inheritance and she wanted the money from it. Doc asks if he knows where she is? No, but since you were her lover, you should. Gab is just happy that he wasnʼt the only idiot who fell for her.
Enrique and Flo are still talking. Heʼs mad. How could she team up with Paolo and plot to steal Sabrinaʼs baby? She knows it was a bad decision but she was desperate. He doesnʼt want to hear anymore and tells her to beat it. She tells him that after the death of her father, she realized that she did awful things and she now sees the error of her ways and is truly sorry. She wants to go about setting things right. She hopes that he can be happy with Paloma and the baby. He asks what sheʼs going to do and she says she doesnʼt know. He seems to be acting like heʼs warming to her again. (Here is what I would tell Enrique if he were my friend or brother. Enrique, although she may very well be repentant, she has proven that she would do anything if she felt desperate. She plotted to steal first Keniaʼs and then you own sisterʼs baby because she felt that was her only option. So something unethical and illegal is not off the table? In the future, can you trust her to not make the more decisions if she feels desperate again? Some things are just not forgivable, and plotting to steal your sisterʼs baby should be one of them.)

Por ella soy Eva #44 9/17/12
Phew! Mimi catches Onesimo in the act, before he manages to break into Eva's apartment (what a cop-out, my mom exclaims! they threatened more in the Avances)
Eva's tampering to protect Helena from Pluto is beginning to rub her the wrong way. I guess it would get pretty annoying. Eva intercepts Pluto's flower for Helena, and takes it straight to Rebeca as evidence (oooh, good strategy - if only Rebeca could stay mad long enough to lay some hurt on Pluto), then crushes it beneath her hefty tacon.
The crafty plan works, and Rebe comes to Pluto to pout and yell. He tells her to dominate her hormones and, as usual, she lets him get away with it.
Pluto meets onesimo to get the bad news about the failed snooping attempt.
ugh. Mr. Manly Mustache Chauvinist is displeased with his son's willingness to consider sissy careers, and takes him out to play pool instead of homework. Much manly advice is dispensed, and I think this is the scene in the episode for which I looked up "cavernicola," a word which so grabbed my attention ("caveman") that I forgot its entire context. Then, when they come home, Mom asks how it went, and dad flips out about the kid not having a girlfriend - why don't we just buy him a tutu?
Mimi describes the intruder to Juan, and makes a fairly humorous impression of the rather weird Onesimo! Haha, Juan complains and Mimi suggests that he's finally getting his period...
Helena goes to confront her dad about the beatings, and he seems to have a heart attack. But he totally was faking it, and goes back to the grump as soon as she leaves.
Now Plutarco gets a little bit of what he deserves, as we see him uncomfortable in the jacuzzi making excuses to Rebeca for his complete failure to perform - I've always been a matador, he whines!
OOOOOHHH PLUTO HAS A ANTONIA NIGHTMARE!!!! She haunts him and he freaks the heck out. I'd watch that again!
Pluto makes a midnight call to Helena to "wish her goodnight." Seriously, has he no shame? But Eva, in her pajama sleepover garb, shrieks to shut down the midnight chat - "UNO QUIERE DORMIR!"
Subplot alert! Kevin is missing!
Helena's flower is smushed - it must have been some kind of accident. Pluto again aims to be helpful for Helena. Isn't he worried about getting "friend zoned?" Good god, he feels so alone, he would only like to find a woman who is special... Just like you!
***
I apologize for the shoddy recapping tonight... My 12 year old Mentee has just transitioned to Middle School, so for much of tonight's episode I was on the phone talking him through a homework crisis. I aim to bring next week's recap up to a higher standard!

Amor Bravío #28 (Uni 23) Mon 9/17/12
Capitulo
28: The Weakest Link
Lo
del pasado
Camila
takes a drink when Viviana mentions Andres' name. She is in love
with him and wants a divorce from Alonssso as soon as possible.
Lo
de nuevo
Camila's
Study: Viviana – while pleased that Camila is planning to
divorce Alonssso – is now concerned about her thing for Andres. It
would be all well and good for herself to develop a relationship with
a vaquero or a chauffeur because she is a woman alone, without
family. Camila, however, has her family and position to consider.
She should be looking for a man on her social level with her
education and background. She should regard her feeling for Andres
as the wakeup call and nothing else. She doesn't want her to get
hurt. She suggests closing things out with Alonssso and moving on.
Camila tells her not to worry.

Refugio Para el Amor #114 Mon 9/17/12 Luci Learns a Jacinto-Flores by Any Other Name is Still a Jacinto-Flores; Aldo Learns the Art of Lying is Best Left to the Experts- Tio Max and Tia MentiRosa
This weekend, the poets,
writers, and sassy troublemakers of Caray Caray decided to try our hand at
writing prose and greeting cards inspired by our telenovela characters. If you
missed it, you must go back and read it: http://caraycaray.blogspot.com/2012/09/weekend-witticisms-telenovela-greeting.html
I wrote this little greeting
card ditty for our hapless galan, Rodrigo:
Two baby-mamas is a lot to handle
In fact, it seems quite the scandal
But, you double dipped your wick
Now you look like a dick
And your life is all a shambles
In fact, it seems quite the scandal
But, you double dipped your wick
Now you look like a dick
And your life is all a shambles
Felicitaciones Papa!
Back to our show…
Back to our show…
Gala has just made herself a patient of Luci’s (and Connie’s
and Melissa’s) OBGyn, and given him some bull story about being Luci’s “friend”,
only to have her scheme bite her in the tush when the doctor waxes poetic about
the movie-worthy kiss Luci’s “husband” gave her. Ha! The look on Gala’s sour
face is priceless!
Meanwhile, said happy papa is in his office when Luci’s papa
CL comes in to warn him to quit sniffing around his daughter. Rod tries to
assert his rights as expectant papa to stalk Luci, but CL reminds him that he
is no longer Luci’s husband, and shouldn’t act as such. His daughter has
already had enough troubles without Rod’s crazy wife jumping down her throat
all the time for Rod’s behavior. And CL doesn’t want this to be a risk to
Luci’s pregnancy. “You are the father of her child, NOT her husband.” Rod
clenches his jaw muscles, but seems to get the message.

Amorcito Corazón Discussion #109-113 Sept. 17-21
Thanks for your patience. Please let me know what I missed or misinterpreted.
The drunkards, F5 and Fer, are given coffee. I think Blue Lass mentioned this earlier but our guys really need some professional help with regard to their increasing abuse of alcohol. They are fortunate they have not had a serious car accident at this point. Yet, they can’t use being drunk as an excuse for falling in bed with Sabrina; so unfortunate male protagonists, get your acts together before you wake up in someone else’s bed or worse.
Lucia is livid about her kidnaping (surprise, not). Willy sends the boys back home and keeps Lucia as his captive. She attempts to escape by going to the bathroom but gets caught in the window. At this point we have no couples together and watching the evil ones make gains is painful.

Abismo de pasión #130 9/14/12: If Dam's not Getting Married...Ain't No Dam Body Getting Married!
I did not proofread this. Sorry. I will update it shortly.
Casa de Gabby’s Crib: Alfonsina is looking for Ingrid. Gabby reminds her that he found the receipt for the plane tickets. Alfonsina says that Gabby has always assured her that Estefania was the low-down husband-hawk who was running away with Rosendo. Gabby says that Alfonsina jumped to her own conclusions about those two tickets to paradise! He simply let her assume that his lover was Estefania. Alfonsina believes that Gabby would have never kept those tickets for all of these years if Estefania was the real culprit. Maybe so…maybe no, says Gabby. Gabby says that he will give her the tickets for 50% (what a bargain!) of the Procesadora. Alfonsina says that Gabby can kiss 50% of her butt, cuz he will never be part owner in her company. Gabby says she will never know the truth. Alfonsina storms out.
Casa de Castanon: Sabrina has come to visit Elisa on her wedding day. She wants to apologize for how she acted in front of Florencia. Elisa forgives her. Before Sabrina leaves, Elisa wants to know what Sabby wanted to tell her about Florencia. Sabby tells Elisa that Paolo told her that he never loved her. He was only with her to steal Sabby’s baby so that he could give it to Florencia. According to Paolo, Florencia can’t have kids; Sabby realizes that Paolo was lying. Elisa points out that Florencia is obviously six months pregnant. Sabrina wishes Elisa luck and walks out. Elisa caresses her amulet.

Weekend Discussion: Witticisms; Telenovela Greeting Cards-9/15/12
In one of this week's discussions, the Abismo gang noticed a repeated sequence of various characters expressing sympathy to someone because his mother was such a very, very...grave disappointment. It occurred to us that we could make a killing in Telenovelaland by developing a line of appropriate greeting cards for just these sorts of situations...por ejemplo:
Tu mamá es ramera, yo sé
Qué pena contigo mi güey
Pues ni modo, compadre
Lo que hizo tu madre
No fue por tu culpa --
¿o qué?
(Thanks, NovelaMaven!)
What kinds of greeting cards do you think might come in handy for our imaginary friends? Feel free to dig in in either Spanish or English (or Spanglish) with themes, rhymes or designs.
Here are a few more ideas to get you started:
Congratulations!
...on your fake pregnancy
...on your successful embezzlement scheme
...on losing your virginity/fetching up pregnant (combined card)
So sorry
...your rapist got out of jail
Best wishes for a speedy recovery
...from your fall down the stairs
...from your golpeazo
...from your pivotal automobile accident
So have at it -- we know how clever you are!
Amor Bravío #27 (Uni 22) Fri 9/14/12 A Moment of Truth for Dan; a Confession for Cam; and Possible Curtains for the Curate
Cap 27
As Daniel/D’Andres lends his arm to support a smiling Camila, now forever in his debt for talking her through her fears and getting her behind the wheel of a car again, Dionisio is inside Isadora’s private rooms of the main house complaining to Isssa that the three of them have gone from one major clusterf!%* to another with this land project. Isssa says she’ll personally clean up their little problem at the hospital (cuz you gotta do it yerself if y’a really want it done right and right away). Dio’s horns start showing as he says it seems this isn’t Isssa’s first time at the rodeo.
D’Andres brings Agustina and Cam to the hospital. No change with Padre, says Amanda, but he did survive the night which is something to hang their sombrero’s on. D’Andres takes Amanda back to the B&B to change, and Cam talks the doc into letting her see how Padre Baldemero is.

Por ella soy eva #43 9/14/12- Eva Gets A Promotion, Some of Silvia's Past Comes To Light,,The Putz Gets A Comeuppance
I always get the numbers in Spanish mixed up so please comment on the amount of the shares.
We start tonight with Marcela and Fernando in their office, and Marcela is going over some bills. She wants Ferni to pay the lights, the mortgage and a couple other bills and hands him Kevin's cell phone bill. Lots of calls and numbers. He takes the majority of the bills, not happy about it either and hands the cell phone bill back to Marcela and tells her to handle it, handle it. Marcela looks at the phone bill and doesn't recognize some of the numbers. She calls the number and gets the guy that Kevin was with yesterday, the guy answers, and Marcela hangs up. She looks very concerned.
Pluti and Rebeca walk down the hall, and Rebeca wants to know why he's there already, wasn't he taking time off? He says he is there for the reading of La Gorda's will, (Note to Pluti- Hope the anvil hits you where it hurts the most, jus' sayin'). Anyhoo, they pass by the desk of the Evelettes who are gossiping with other women at G.I., like Tablet Jeffe said, noone works!
Eva is in Helena's office and making some racket with the files, banging them on the table. She isn't singing and yelling at Helena today. She is giving Helena the silent treatment as far as her voice goes, but is banging things around. Eva bangs some files on Helena's desk and the Eiffel Tower too, lol. Helena can't stand the silent treatment and says sorry about throwing you out, but I think Helena says she has to be out by tomorrow, first thing. "Don Pluti" comes in to see Helena. Eva kinda listens over Pluti's shoulder and Cindy one of the Evalettes comes in and says that Eva will have to be at the reading of the will of Antonia. Well, Pluti is having a problem with that. Eva goes and then Pluti too.
