Por Ella #53 9/28/12: Two Dumb Bunnies and Pluti's Got Muscle
Hi y'all , this recap will not be in order and I am going to try to keep it short and sweet. I didn't take notes and watched in real time, so if I missed something, please comment.
We start with Mimi and Eva going down to the detention center in answer to Marcela's call. They get her out. They joke with her and she is kinda down, after being thought a prostitute and just wants to go home, which Eva and Mimi do for her. Marcela gets home and has cleaned up all the little objects of lurrrvvvee she sprinkled all over and even has gotten rid of that sexy outfit. She is now in the kitchen wearing her jammies fixing herself a cup of tea and she seems to be inwardly berating herself. Fern comes home and tries to talk to her, but Marcela so doesn't want to talk and tells Fern she is tired and going to bed.
Pluti and Helena are gathered at Helena's parents' house and I think that Eduardo is mad cause Helena is allowing Mario to visit Lalito in his own home. I think Helena says he has a right to visit and Mario and Lalito go up to Lalito's room. They find they have something in common like foosball and play a game. Mario and Lalito are getting along very well. Meanwhile downstairs, Pluti is about to sit down and have a cafe with Helena and her family when Eva comes to call. Helena isn't happy to see Eva, but Eva has come on an important mission. Helena isn't happy but allows Eva to get on with it. It is the pics on the phone JC took of Pluti giving Mario money. Now Pluti has to explain himself and he ain't happy. The hamster wheel in his head is turning and of course he says he did it for Mario to go away already. Eva does a moue with her mouth, and Helena rips into her and tells her to stop talking bad about Pluti and to leave now and they'll talk tomorrow. Eva goes but isn't happy. She goes outside and makes a phone call to Mimi I think.

Weekend Discussion: Photo Essay; Separated at Birth (or just close relatives)?
It never stops amazing me how modern communications makes for a homogenization of standards, especially with regard to looks and the decisions that can lead to as to who gets famous. Movies and television are now so international that most of the following pairs don't seem accidental to me:
William Levy and James Dean:

Amor Bravío #34 (Uni 29) Thu 9/27/12 Amor Enfermo
Camila hangs out in bed remembering the infamous kiss…in the rain…with the leather coat…and the wet hair. Yeah, Camila, I agree, that was hawt!
D'Andres gets back to his room and doesn't unbutton nearly enough buttons on his shirt as he remembers the steaminess in the rain. Come on, man, throw us a bone!
Rafa gets back to Viv's later with the address and a map. Rafa's worried about his brother, and D'Andres, and with what he's going to try with Cam tomorrrow. Rafa's worried about keeping to the golden rule…bros before totally hawt married chicks who might already be in love with their cousins. Viv tells him to finish up with the plan with D'Andres and then get to confessin' his luuuuurve already.
Camila really wants to find her cousin. The detective says it could be complicated. Alonso insists he's there…not that he has any evidence…just that it would make sense. Camila wants the detective's help to make sure Daniel knows that she's not interested in turning him in.
Isadora goes snooping in Camila's cabin. She's rude to Maja. I'm not even a dog person and I'm not ok with that. She steals Camila's ID.
Rafa drives up as the detective is taking his leave. Camila introduces them. Isadora gives a too-loud hello to Rafa and Cam on her way back into the house. Rafa's a bit skeeved by that. He and Cam go to the cabin for coffee.
Vivi hops into a taxi, observed by Bruno (was that the ex's name?). He misses his chance to follow the cab.
Rafa tells Cam that Vivi went out of town on personal business. Camila feels bad that her relationship with Viv lately has been all about her own problems, and here Viv has stuff going on and she hasn't even asked about it. Rafa confesses to Camila that Vivi accidentally let slip that the ranch isn't hers.
Ximena calls Alonso on not telling her that his marriage was failing. She reminds him that yesterday he gave her the usual line married guys give about there being nothing going on between him and his wife. "You should have also warned me that your wife is a witch!" Ximena goes on to tell him that Camila is a horrible, manipulative person who hides behind her angelic face. Alonso is relieved to find someone else who sees her that way.
Rafael asks about Daniel and wants to know what Camila really thinks of him. Raf can imagine someone getting thrown into jail who didn't actually do anything wrong. Camila has a hard time believing that her uncle's son is some kind of a villain. Rafa pretends to put 2 and 2 together, saying he happens to know a Daniel Diaz in Chile, but he doesn't know if the last name is Acosta. When he met him, his mother was sick, he's in his 30's…Camila says it could be the same guy. The go to look at the picture Alonso has of "Daniel."
Agustina tells D'Andres that she heard he was going to be kind of a bodyguard in addition to a driver. D'Andres is glad she feels safer with him. Dionisio also told Agustina that D'Andres would be learning to shoot and she heartily approves and wants him to practice every day. She sends him off to Dionisio's house, since Dionisio asked to see him.
Rafael looks at the picture of "Daniel" and says he knows the guy and he's an excellent guy, not a murderer.
Bruno breaks into Viviana's house (ugh!).
Rafa says three years ago he was writing a book about social networks. He met him in Chile. Alonso is surprised Rafael would trust him so much. Rafa says that he and Daniel worked together to gather information to shut down a sex trafficking operation and when Rafa's life was threatened, Daniel stuck by him the entire time. Camila is thrilled--this is exactly the sort of guy she was sure her cousin would be. Alonso tries to argue that people can change.
Bruno is making himself at home at Vivi's. Pouring himself some win and sniffing her pillows. Ew…and clothes! He finds a box with baby toys.
Rafa remembers Daniel converting to Judaism for his wife because he loved her so much. "Her family didn't like him because he was poor, but he refused to take any money from them to prove that he wasn't after her money." Alonso tries to say he must have killed his wife for his money. "Oh, right…except that not all men are after their wives' money. Some of them marry for love." Camila: 1, Dumbass: 0. Rafa agrees some people will do anything for money, but he wonders if it wasn't Daniel who was the victim…someone wanted him out of the way to steal his inheritance.
D'Andres gets a call from Amanda about the pills she found on the floor. He agrees it's strange and makes plans to see her later.
Alonso accuses Rafa of accusing Camila. Camila says Padre Baldy suspected the same thing. Rafa supposes if two people can come to the same conclusion, maybe it's possible. Yeah, Alonso doesn't look guilty at all, with his ratty little face half hidden behind his hand as he chews his fingernails off.
Dionisio's henchman gets paid a fat wad of cash for his assist on the murder of the Padre. He actually tries to turn it down, saying he didn't do anything, but Dionisio believes in rewarding those who stick with him. Dionisio promises an even fatter wad of cash if he gets Daniel this time. The dude's so pissed about Daniel getting away from him in Chile, he's taking this one personally. Dionisio orders him to go stay at Amanda's and keeps his eyes and ears open.
Camila isn't offended by Rafael's suggestion, but Alonso is. Camila wonders if maybe Daniel also thinks the same thing--that she was trying to get him out of the game. Alonso is salivating at the idea that Rafael might be able to get hold of Daniel. Natalia's pulling all kinds of faces behind Alonso at the idea. Rafael figures that if he sends Daniel an email, him being a computer expert and all, he'll be able to get it wherever he is.
Bruno's making out with Vivi's picture while he has carnal relations with her clothes. Eww! Eww! Eww!
Camila gives Rafa a big fat hug for sending that email. She feels stupid for not telling him earlier. Rafa and Camila leave and Alonso kicks Natalia out. Heh.
Rafa walks himself out as Piedad tells Camila that Mariano is calling from next door. Mariano says they only have 3 infected bulls and one death, but it's contained. Camila didn't find an outbreak in her bulls, so it's all good.
Agustina is pissed that Rafael knows Daniel. Isadora's not too happy about it either. Ximena wants an update. Camila says Daniel is a friend of someone she knows. Ximena is firmly on team "Sell the Ranch" and as proof of their team's right-ness points out that Camila's the only one not on the team. "We can't all be wrong while you're the only one who's right!" Camila goes back to doing some actual work while the rest of them, mostly Ximena, complain about how horrible she is.
Natalia runs into Rodolfo in Camila's cabin. She's looking for Andres and asks Rodolfo to let him know she's looking for him. She insists he's not the guy for her and she knows it, so Rodolfo asks "what if" he (Rodolfo) were to ask her out? Natalia gets flustered and says she can't even think about that with all the craziness at the ranch. She goes on muttering as she leaves the cabin. 1: If you want to ask her out, just ask her out! Don't ask her what would happen if you did, you dumbass! 2: In about a half hour it's going to hit her that he was more-or-less asking her out and she's going to feel stupid for answering the way she did and spend way too long agonizing over how to get him to ask her out again.
Rafael lets D'Andres know that their plan worked perfectly. He figures soon Dionisio will be asking D'Andres to keep an eye on him (Rafael) too, as a way of getting to Daniel. He's glad that he gets to spend more time with Camila and convince her that Daniel is a good guy. But he warns him that they have to watch out for the PI Camila hired.
Alonso does, in fact, tell Dioniso about Rafael right away. Dionisio plans to use Rafael to track down Daniel, although he agrees with Isadora that maybe Rafael was sent by Daniel as a spy (well, sure, but not in the way you think). He finds it suspicious that he went from writing a book on social networks to a book about bulls. After they hang up, Alonso complains to Isadora that there are too many people they're having to watch out for…first Leoncio and now Rafael. Isadora adds Ximena to the list. She's seen the looks and she knows something's going on between her nail-biting progeny and his sister-in-law. She warns him not to try to hide things from her.
Leoncio's doing a crappy job this morning, and he's in a bad mood. So, what else is new? He complains that he's feeling sick and Rodolfo says, "Well, sure, we all are! We're tired, but we've got to keep going, so suck it up!" Leoncio turns on him saying he'd better remember that only Leoncio knows how to run things around here. I highly doubt that. He asks Camila, since she's the doctor, what he's sick with. This, completely inexplicably, triggers a reverie about D'Andres and their steamy moments. She sticks herself with a needle and ends her daydreaming telling the guys it was nothing and get back to work.
Isadora and Alonso ask Natalia to find out how long Rafael and Vivana have been in town. They tell her it's because they want to protect Camila from these new friends, in case they're not good for her. Natalia pretends to go along with this explanation (at least I hope that enthusiasm was faked) and leaves. Isadora warns Alonso that Ximena could turn out to be a useful ally, but he has to keep his eyes on the prize…La Malquerida. Alonso, as obvious as a grade-schooler with a face full of crumbs, says Ximena's ok, but, pfft, whatever…he's not interested. I don't think Mama's buying that load of bull either.
Dionisio presents D'Andres with the gun he's supposed to shoot himself with, if he catches himself trespassing on La Malquerida. D'Andres vows that if he sees himself on the grounds, he'll be sorry. Dionisio gives him an advance for the anticipated assasination.
Ximena fantasizes to her mother about Daniel showing up, falling in love with her, and her becoming the owner of La Malquerida. She thinks it's perfectly fair that Camila should end up the poor veterinarian while Ximena gets to be the lady of the hacienda (at least Camila would be able to get a job to support herself, you worthless twit). She figures it's about time she enjoyed some of Daniel Sr.'s wealth, since he's the man her mother abandoned her for. Say what?
Camila starts wondering where D'Andres is. Rodolfo says Agustina sent him on an errand. Leoncio starts to complain that all D'Andres does is "women's stuff" and he's never around to do his actual job, therefore he should be fired and his salary given to the other two guys there who are picking up the slack. Ok, first of all, "women's stuff?" Let me just add that to the list of reasons I'll be cheering when this dumbass dies a prolonged and messy death. Second, it's not his job and Camila didn't even want him doing it in the first place. How stupid is this guy? Are there no depths to his stupidity? Why wasn't he fired years ago? Why did Daniel Sr., who by all accounts was a decent guy, never notice that his ranch foreman was a drunken blowhard who beats his sister and niece when he's not busy demanding his niece scrub floors (and don't even try to tell me that wasn't about him wanting to watch)? Camila takes issue with "women's stuff" as well and tells Leoncio it's too damn bad he doesn't like D'Andres, because D'Andres isn't going anywhere.
Viviana makes it to the village in Chiapas where the potential love of her life is living. Only I think Aaron looks about 12 years old, so I'm having a little trouble with that. He seems willing to help…her…or his brother…or whoever. Not that he knows what's going on yet.
Amanda has filled D'Andres in about the pills, which he agrees is suspicious since the Padre couldn't have knocked them over himself. However, since she swears no one went in or out until Camila found him dead…. Dionisio's hench rings the bell on the desk. As he's pondering how long he plans to stay, we get an excellent view of the tattoo on his neck. He tells Amanda he's staying indefinitely and at the full-service rate.
Aaron remembers when Rafael met Daniel. He figures if Daniel needed to use his picture, he must have needed to. Vivi thinks what they're asking of him is nuts. Aaron says he came to Chiapas to live in peace. He can't be away form there for too long. Plus someone has to stay there in his place if he leaves.
Isadora visits some guy named Salomon. She asks him to draft her daughter-in-law's will, but without her knowing that she's made a will. She's going to fake Camila's signature on a will granting everything to Alonso. "Why are you so surprised? You're an expert at that, aren't you?" Salomon looks uncomfortable.
D'Andres catches sight of the tattoed guy from across the dining room and flashes back to the night Miriam was killed. Dun, dun, dun!
Tomorrow: D'Andres tells Natalia he saw the guy who killed his wife; Isadora screams at Salomon that she's not Alonso's mother (doh!); D'Andres and Camila breathe on each other.

Abismo de pasión #139 9/27/12: If anyone says she “gave herself” to a man one more time I’m going to scream!
Prologue: Ladies, it's no wonder that the guys treat you like prize pigs when you keep saying things like you "gave yourself" to them. Rant over.
Leftovers: Paloma instructs Gael to tell Elisa he “betrayed” her or Paloma will tell all. Padre, looking dapper in street clothes, tells Carmina what to do with her threats. They quietly threaten each other and take turns glaring. (I would love to see the outtakes from this scene.)
Lo Nuevo: Gael is afraid he’ll lose Elisa over a “stupid mistake”, because he couldn’t control an “animal instinct”. (Dude, shut up now.) Hey, he likes Paloma but she knows darn well he’s never been able to get Elisa out of his head, at least the one sitting on his shoulders. Paloma’s not happy to hear (again) that she is sloppy seconds. She gave herself to him because she loves him, not because of an animal instinct. “Gael if you don’t tell her then I will because I won’t stay silent about this.” (Ha, told you to shut up Gael.)
Elisa, looking like a lady for a change, sips tea and recalls Carmina telling her that Stef left her love shack to Carmina so that Carmina would always have a place. Lucio joins her and they decide to go to Merida in the morning to see if the blue house ever belonged to Stef. Elisa also wants to fight for Augusto’s property since he and Carmina were about to divorce. Lucio says he’ll help but a fight like that is long and exhausting. Elisa doesn’t care because she needs something to fight for and she has a bunch of free time because she never goes to work anyway. I thought we might have a tear-free scene but at the very end Little Elisa’s lip quivers and a big, glycerin tear rolls down her face.
Now we have a short promo for the Aeropuerto Internacional de Chichen Itza. Sabrina is SO glad they have their very own wonderful airport. Doc T and Begona remind her several times she has to change planes in Mexico City. (What? No direct flights from Valladolid to Africa?) Begona is only slightly annoying as the loud farewell music obliterates the dialogue. Doc T reassures Begona that maybe Sabrina needs to find herself and learn to love again. (The patio gives a loud hoot. We start betting drinks on which country in Africa Sabrina will find her husband.)
Meanwhile Chente is over at Hacienda Arango moping because Sabrina hasn’t even made an attempt to say hello to him. That little dude is definitely in his own clueless world. Daddy Gabino bustles in, ignores Chente, and demands to see Alfonsina. Tonia tells him Dam took her to Merida for delicate open heart surgery. She could die.
Cut to Merida where Alfonsina is about to go into delicate open heart surgery. She cries and gasps to Dam that if she dies, IF SHE DIES...she wants him to always keep in mind that Elisa caused her death. (Recapper rolls eyes.) She can’t go into delicate open heart surgery until Dam promises to forgive her for all the crap she has pulled. Plus he has to tell her he loves her. “Of course I love you, you’re my mother and I have to or I’ll go to hell.” Now he has something to ask, he wants Alfie to forgive dad, Stef and Elisa. Ooh, nice one Dam, but Fina just sobs and is saved by the orderlies who wheel her away.
Speaking of sobbing, Paloma’s at the cenote. Sobbing.
Gael is at the church telling God he’s a coward. He doesn’t want to hurt Paloma but he’s afraid of losing Elisa if he tells her the truth. Yawn.
Soon-to-be-Ex-Padre visits the Bishop and admits he broke canon law and blabbed a confessional secret. Bishop fires Lupe but Lupe says nope, he quits. But that law he broke? He’s going to tell another secret of confession and he hopes God forgives him. Bishop says no can do, Lupe will doom his soul. Lupe says he has to tell the secret in order to defeat the evil that rules over his village.
Elisa sees Gael pouting in the plaza. Gael asks Elisa if she’s sad that Dam dumped her. Nope, because she was going to dump him first. Gael wants to know if Elisa is still cool with marrying him. Elisa’s pretty sure that Gael will never forgive her for boinking Dam. She reminds Gael that betrayals can’t be forgotten, especially by overly jealous jerks like him. Gael is really squirming now, he swears he loves her deeply and hey, he can forgive anything, heh. Oh, and since there are no secrets between them he shagged someone a couple of weeks before their wedding. Now about them getting married... “QUE????” demands Elisa, “You were taking me to the altar while hiding that lie? If Dam hadn’t stolen me I’d be married to you and YOUR LIE. And you and YOUR LIE had some nerve giving me a hard time when I got back to La Ermita. You and YOUR LIE don’t love me!” Elisa calls him a coward and demands to know who was the woman.
Gael couldn’t think of anything during the commercial break. Clearly thinking isn’t one of his strong suits. He says the Other Woman doesn’t exist. He only loves Elisa. Elisa snorts and tells him to shut up. Gael sees that contrition and preemptive forgiveness didn’t work so he goes on the offensive. He says Elisa did the same thing he did so they’re even. (Recapper rolls eyes again.) Elisa informs him she gave herself (aaargh!!!) to Damian in an act of love. If Gael went with his animal instincts then she only feels pity for him. Gael doesn’t want to let Elisa go until she forgives him and tells him she loves him.
E: That would be a lie.
G: Dam dumped you. You have nobody.
E: I have myself. I don’t want Dam, or you, or any dam Arango.
And thus Gael is schooled in what not to say to a woman.
Paloma and Flor are in the office not working. They update each other on their rotten love lives and give moral support. Paloma fears she won’t be able to keep her pregnancy a secret much longer.
Carmina drinks alone and recalls Lupe’s words that wherever Carmina plants evil he will plant truth. She smashes her glass on the floor before she remembers she has no servant to clean up.
Begona and Doc T are in an outdoor cafe enjoying some wine and talking about Sabrina’s exciting future. Begona curses Paolo and loudly states if she could she would send someone to kill him, KILL HIM, got that? Doc tells her to stop the crazy talk. She gets all sweet and tries to butter him up, saying that because their kids are so great they did something well together. (Well...together.)
Elisa goes home to Lolita and curses the Arango men. Dam claimed he loved her but boinked Flor. Dam only stole her so he could get to her before Gael did and now that he found out Gael’s his brother he wants to give Elisa back. (I’m actually embarrassed to be reporting this ludicrous dialogue so I’m stopping now.)
Lolita tells Elisa she’s crazy; Dam truly loves her.
Elisa goes off on a rant that Gael, with his smothering jealousy, is worse than Dam. And news flash, Gael claimed he loved her but had hot animal sex with someone else right before the wedding. Dam can stay with his doubts and Gael can stay with his lies because she doesn’t want either of them and she’ll never forgive them!
Paloma shows up and Lolita gives her the 411. Elisa’s pithed because Gael had another woman before the wedding. Paloma asks if Gael told them with whom he cheated. Elisa says no, but he assured Elisa he didn’t care at all about that woman. Not a bit. Not one iota. Lolita pipes up that it must have been one of those crazy, loose chicks who never think about the consequences of their actions. Paloma looks so stricken that even our self-centered Elisa starts to figure out what went down. She says maybe it was a woman who loved Gael so much that she was suffering because Gael was going to marry Elisa instead of her. Does Paloma know the woman? Oh hell yes she does, “I am the woman.”
Lupe arrives at the hospital in Merida. He tells Dam that he’s sticking around La Ermita, not as a priest but as a man with a mission. He wants to stay with his family, protect those he loves, and gambol under a sky full of anvils that have his name on them. They shut their eyes and pray for Alfonsina as Gabino creeps around the corner.
Paloma says that just as Elisa gave herself to Dam for love, Paloma did the same with Gael. She loves him with all her strength even if he doesn’t deserve it. Paloma couldn’t tell Elisa because she was too ashamed from throwing herself at Gael. Elisa points out it’s Gael’s fault too, but Paloma insists she stupidly thought if she gave herself to Gael completely then he would find a feeling that didn’t exist. But now she realizes he’ll never love her.
Elisa figures that’s why Paloma wants to leave town, but take it from her that’s not the solution. The girls hug and cry. Paloma says she has to leave, no way can she stand being close to Gael.
Meanwhile Lolita has been taking all this in and her hamsters are wheel-running overtime. Paloma rushes out the door and Lolita suggests to Elisa that Paloma hasn’t told them the entire truth. She thinks Paloma is, wait for it, hiding something.
Avances: Elisa slaps Gael. Gael overhears Flor and Enrique and angrily assumes Paloma is expecting a baby by “ese tipo” (Enrique). Gael punches Enrique.

Refugio Para el Amor #122 Thu 9/27/12 The Looks of Love; Melissa's Professional Exam; Guess Who Dropped In For Dinner?
Torreslanda Bidness, Rod's Office
Rosa interrupts Rod and Oscar doing bidness and wants to know where her hubby Max is. She came here looking for him, he isn't here, called his cell no answer, what, is he with his lover? Rod is tired of this and says he's doing bidness and she rounds on Oscar saying the same thing. Oscar avoids answering her. She tells them both, when Max comes back from whereva to let him know she was looking for him, and she haughtily leaves the room. Rod goes right back to bidness and Oscar is all flummoxed.
Afternoon Delight Suite of Vicky and Max
Max has left that cheque on the table and Vicky is putting her earrings back in. She is pithed and Max comes out of the bathroom. Max tells Vicky there's the cheque, don't forget it. Vicky says Oh, Osito, the cheque and she takes it, rips it up and places it in his suit jacket pocket and says oh, here's your cheque! Max wants to know why she ripped up the cheque. She tells Max she wanted his help. She tells him not to come looking for her anymore and he says he won't. She says Adios, and goes. Max smirks.
Hanna's Prepa
Lula is giving Hanna heck about Boris again. (Note to Lula: STFU and get him for yourself, jus' sayin'). Boris comes to the table where Lula and Hanna are having what looks like fries or fried jicama and then passes by and sits at another table. Lula says oh, looky here, Boris has a broken heart and she reaches for Hanna's fries, which Hanna will not share and Hanna could care less about what Boris does either.

Amor Bravío #33 (Uni 28) Wed 9/26/12 The Plague at Malquerida (and it is not tuberculosis!)
Sorry for the delay folks, but I just got back into town and into wireless range. What did reporters do before the internet?
We begin tonight’s capitulo at Amanda’s Hotel with Natalia and Amanda cleaning up the now deceased Padre’s room. Amanda sees some loose pills on the floor and wonders aloud how they got there. She reasons that Padre was immobile, so he could not have reached for and spilled them. Also, Amanda knows she was busy downstairs with a potential guest (bad guy) and thus did not touch the meds. How did these pills get there? Natalia shivers aloud and says something is amiss and she worries that Amanda could be in danger.
Elsewhere in the fields of Malquerida, Camila is barking orders (vet joke) to Rodolfo to go find Tio Leo. Dandres stands by the wayside and steps in offering to help. Camila, of course, refuses and Dandres chews her out (another vet joke) about her pride. They bullheadedly stomp off towards the bull pens to work to prevent an outbreak of disease among the bulls (ok, last vet joke I will actively point out).
Back at Tio Leo’s den, Tio is stretched out on the bed after slamming back a few drinks. There is a knock at the door, then another and another….Tio Leo growls “VVVVooyyyyy” (much like I have been known to do on a Sunday morning when the church people start knocking). Rodolfo tells him he is needed to help vaccinate the herd. Tio snorts and growls at Rodolfo about ordering him around and Rodolfo clarifies it is La Patrona’s orders, not his. Not to be ordered around, Tio tells him he will respond” cuando se de la gana” (when he feels like it). Sensing Tio Leo is sh**faced, Rodolfo chastises him for “chupando” (sucking) the bottle so early in the day. Not in the mood for constructive criticism, Tio Leo growls some threats at Rodolfo and boots him out.
