Amores Verdaderos #152 Thu 6/13/13 Royero Tried… But the Arriagas Are Not Impressed
* Lo refrito: Aníbal is doing the usual stuff – ruining the life of his family members in the name of love. He orders the detective Avellaneda to hide evidences from Adriana.
* Lo nuevo: said Adriana is spending the day with Scarf-Face, working on the script of the movie. The air is definitely sizzling around them. Adri is more beautiful than ever, and Jhoaaannn seems very interested in her. He knows the script was written by Vicky, and he’s bitching a little bit about that the first lover should’ve won instead of the bodyguard, but when Adriana says that the script might’ve hit a nerve, he quickly changes the topic.

Corazon Indomable #24 6-13-13 MariCruz 2.0 Takes Baby Steps (and Maybe Some Giant Steps) Toward Her Future
Don Alejandro says he will make MariCruz a great lady (un gran dama). This brings to mind other celluloid makeovers, including Princess Diaries, My Fair Lady, Miss Congeniality, and Pretty Woman (for whatever that’s worth.) MariCruz’ age and hair style seem similar to Princess Diaries [recapper’s opinion]. Scenes may be combined.
Down Home
Our action begins as Lucia composes a letter to Octavio (She probably attended two semesters at a prestigious university, where she majored in fashion design and minored in creative writing before dropping out to get married.) She explains that she’s writing instead of Miguel, that he’s busy with a heavy work load, that Tav shouldn’t be concerned for MC. In fact, MC may be over him, etc. etc.; there’s no encouragement for a continued relationship. (If I missed details here, please fill in.) She tells him to take care and don’t do any crazy stuff.

Amores Verdaderos #151 Wed 6/12/13 A total eclipse of the heart
*Balzac hid under Jean Marie's bed during the entirety of this troubling episode. He threatens to stay there until Estéfano comes back from Switzerland.
Even though Nikki is totally on board with her super Mami's romance with Super Superman, she and Superman's daughter are from different planets. And Lili is still running after Guzmancito. Arriaga assures Nikki that Lili will stay away from Guzmancito … er … Guzmán. Nikki is not convinced. [Neither are we.]

Amores Verdaderos #150 Tue 6/11/13 Finally, a glimpse of a shirtless Salsa-Dude
You can tell that my priorities are all screwed up. Or not. I admit that Salsa is my guilty pleasure.
And he doesn't look that bad! I had always assumed he had a Jorge Salinas body (my fave actor, but best seen with a shirt on) but I guess I was wrong! |
PUT A FORK IN IT, THE RECAP IS DONE!
Not listed in order; scenes are consolidated for my sanity.
* We do a refrito of The Little Ape and Nikki all happy happy happy in his bed, talking about B.S. Pillow fight.
* Now that Carlos has been kindly given the heave-ho by Vikki, he apparently is deciding to explore the obvious chemistry he has with Adri. He tries to plant another smooch on her, but she's not going for it. She says that she just wants their relationship to be professional. She would feel wrong doing this to Vicki. (Why doesn't Carlos clear the air there? Maybe because it makes him look like he has the attention span of a hummingbird or something?) Anyway, Carlos plays the "you're a woman, I'm a man" card, but it doesn't work. Adri leaves. It doesn't look like Carlos is quite ready to give up, though.
Adri worries about her sister's feelings regarding Carlos. She needn't have bothered. |
Carlos accepts this. For now . . . |
* Beatriz and Salsa-Dude are alone at her place, happy happy happy once again. They talk about various things, including how Salsa-Dude has a genuine affection for Guillo now. (He admits that at first he was trying to make good with the kid to get in good with the mom. Which is pretty much standard procedure.) And, they talk about how now that Leo the Low is moldering in the ground, the boda is ON! He tells her he never took off the engagement ring. She shows him that she wore his ring around her neck on a necklace. She unstrings the ring and asks him to put it on her finger. He does so. Besos and hugs.
Happy happy happy, joy joy joy. Is that an anvil I see poised over Salsa-Dude's head? |

PEAM, Tuesday 6/11/13 (#67): One Flew East, One Flew West...
(Real mental illness is no laughing matter, but TV mental illness is another thing entirely.)
In Acapulco, an eager young photographer spots the famous Rogelio Rivadeneira with someone who isn't the equally famous Alma Montemayor. He discreetly snaps plenty of photos.
Rogue wants to talk about Paty's sticky fingers habit. She denies having a problem and teases him for seeming concerned, as if he really loves her. He insists that he is only trying to avoid getting involved in a scandal. Paty gets annoyed and silences him with kisses and groping. The unnoticed photographer gets lots of incriminating footage, while our dastardly duo is too busy smacking lips to hear the loud camera noises coming from behind a nearby shrub.
Back in Monterrey, Alma frets and stresses over a financial report she's supposed to send to Pancho, Pancho Lopez in Toluca. The numbers aren't balancing. She steps out of her office just in time to see Vero laying a heavy kiss on Chucho in front of all the secretarias.
In accordance with telenovela custom, Alma fails to notice that Chucho is barely tolerating the kiss. She demands to see him in her office right away. Too bad if Marta's waiting for him! She can wait longer!
Marta is actually not waiting for Chucho. She's having a heated debate with herself, or more likely her alter-ego, like sort of a Gollum/Smeagol thing, in the restroom mirror. She's telling herself she can't let that lil' chippie Maricela take away the man she loves. She can't make a fool of herself like she did with Isaac. She MADE Isaac use, abuse, or rape her (captions couldn't agree whether it was usar or abusar). But she LOVED him! No, she PROVOKED him! She MADE him do it! At any rate, she's got Elias now and she'd better not lose him to that little idiot.
Jessica enters the restroom and hears enough of this to be concerned. She asks Marta if she's feeling okay. "Couldn't be better," Marta replies. (Cuckoo!) She recognizes Jess as the singer from the New Year's Eve party, explains about the company's "program," and asks if Jess has time for her interview now. Jess agrees. As they exit the restroom, Marta seems to flick a nervous glance towards Jess. Jess looks very worried as she follows Marta out.

Qué Bonito Amor #42 (Mex 62.2-63) Tuesday 6/11/13
Capitulo 64 & 65.1: War is Declared
Emergency fill-in with bullet points (not necessarily in this order):
- Jorge Alfredo wins the singing competition
- Oscar grouses about having to have the DNA test
- Jairo tells Oscar it's time he gave up on Maria
- Derecho, Curtis, and their Mexican colleagues go to another restaurant to pig out [zzzzz]
- Ana barges into Maria's dressing room with the pasted newspaper photo of Santos. He tells Maria he wants to talk to her alone. Ana doesn't leave until Maria asks her to. Santos tells Maria he saw an old friend that evening. He had been betrayed by friends in El Lay and because of that lost who he was, his very identity. He doesn't go into the exact details and she doesn't ask him to. He does tell her that this made him realize that his life in El Lay was empty and banal. Now he may be a poor mariachi, but he is rich in her love and that is what matters.
- Rodrigo worries about Gloria. Jorge Alfredo tries to reassure him.
- Jorge Alfredo confronts Ruben in his office, telling him that if it's war he wants, he'll get it. [Even Jorge Alfredo isn't immune from foolish macho posturing]; Ruben is still determined to get the better of him
- Mancia reads the cards for Amalia, saying that death is near Maria
- Bruno drives back to El Lay, making the stupid mistake of calling Arnold
- Giuliano tells himself that Bruno will sleep with the fishes
- Rodrigo gives Paloma a bracelet and asks her to be his novia

- Jorge Alfredo buys an engagement ring, heart-shaped balloon, and a rose
- Oscar gets the test results; Felicidades, es un varon!
- Bruno and Wendy meet in El Lay; Bruno is shot
- Jorge Alfredo is kidnapped and taken into the same black van that belongs to Roxana's husband.

Amores Verdaderos #149 Mon 6/10/13 seems there was a ' lovey dovey' serum special on CVS... three couples? must be a record!!
Here is a rough draft, will edit tomorrow when re-watch. sorry, my mom's AC is having trouble so will start the day at her place waiting for tech to come fix it.
Refrito: Carlos with his emotional and tearful ‘if you love something set it free…’ speech.
Roy and Lilli… Roy tells it to Lilli like it is, not my fault Guzmi don’t love you. But I will get you to love me.
Guzmi and Nikki : she wants them to go away together to be alone, he says wish I could but there are too many things going on. He wants to give her a more comfortable lifestyle. They also have to consider her family’s reaction. What will they say about you trading Roy P for a nobody like me. Nikki only cares about her love for him, can’t live without u. SMOOOOO ching…
Back to the ones ‘left stranded’ Roy and Lilli. He is so regretful of not having been brave enough to walk out of marrying Nikki. Lilli reminds him her dad has Roy on his ‘most wanted’ list for hurting her. Roy still wants a chance to prove his true feelings for her. She still pushes away. He wants her to admit she has no chance in heck with Frankie. She will try to forget Frankie but will focus all her energy in work. No time for a loser like u. He begs on his knees, to no avail. (a Romeo and Juliet scene gone all wrong, I would say)
JA is surveying the surroundings, reporting on radio ‘Its 10 pm and all is weeeell!!!! … well, spoke a bit soon, Roy Toy is coming out and JA spots him, takes him as his physical defense practice bag…
At hospital, little Briss princess II is born… there were no complications in birth. Dances congratulates Nil-Brains-Guts. Nil-Brains is worried KenDrat will use this baby to pressure him some more.
Back to Big Gorila and little RoyToy. RoyToy tries to get big Gorilla to understand his marriage was a fluke and he truly loves Little flower girl. It will be different now. Want to prove to all of you I truly love Lilli. Will do it with or without your permission. JA lets him go. JA thinks…( maybe was a bit hard on the young punchbag ?... have to replay this minute to make sure).
JA goes to little greenhouse to confront Lilli. Lilli could care less if Roy divorces. Don’t want any part of him. Love was not made for me. She slips about the greenhouse Anyballs bought for her. JA thinks it is way too much, was a stretch the classes she took paid by Anyballs, the greenhouse is too much. Neither any gifts from Ms Vicky.
Back to the lovebirds on living room floor… a bit of lovey dovey talk… exchange promises, he wants to give her luxury, she says had luxury all my life but was not happy. All I need to be happy is your love. And have that already. Lovely embrace.

PEAM #66, 06/10/13 - The Office Goes Into Counseling Mode
Chatita and Xochi(calco) discuss why Chatita is in the offices of Avon, finally she remembers that she came to see Alma. Maricela and Marta spar through the entire professional interview, neither with the corner on professionalism or maturity. Maricela stops out into the office and tells Susana how annoyingly that Elias grabbing psychologist is getting under her skin. Susana is a bit worried that she was so brash in an employee interview (Marta is the one making notes on behavior by the way).
Elias is furious when he reads the demands in the divorce papers.
Alma wants to know why Chatita is there, does she need money, a loan. Noooooo, says Chatita but how lovely of you to ask.
Next interview is victim Xochi. Marta wants to know what else Xochi wants from her job, to progress? Yes but Xochi admits that her block is probably her own personality. In a parallel universe Julio is carrying on about how wonderful Xochi's personality is, her best quality. The sillies tease him thoroughly, but good naturedly.
Chatita now interviews Alma it would seem. Alma confesses that everything is spinning out of control. Chatita tells Alma she may not be in love it might must be habit (costumbre). Alma maintains that when one feel confusion it is necessary to act decisively so the confusion will disappear. Alma begins to talk about what if she cancelled her marriage to Rogelio and decided to marry Jesus, (no one but Chatita can bring the truth out of people with such clarity) everything would be more of a mess. Chatita says it's like one dog with two tortas (?? Pablo help, I didn't catch this phrase but it was a Chatita special).(!!Thanks to Audrey, see her comment to get the story of a dog with two tortas)

Amores Verdaderos #148 Fri 6/7/13 Disney Lili is Gone, Meet The New Embittered Version; Vikki and Anyballs Have a Showdown; Nikki and Frankie Have An Intimate Dinner ; )
Hola, Patio Peeps! This recap will not be in order as usual I have combined some scenes to make the recap more fluid.
Guzmancito, Vikki and Angel
They are still at Pau's talking and Angel informs Guzmancito that he and Vikki are engaged and as soon as Vikki gets divorced they are marrying. Ay Carumba! Guzmancito is happy for them. Now Guzmancito wants to know if Lili and Nikki know about this? Nikki knows but Angel has to find the proper moment to break the news to Lili. Adri even volunteered to talk to Lili. Later, outside of Pau's apartemento Ms Vikki asks if he has given any thought to what the Angel will tell Lili? He thinks it will be hard for Lili to accept this relationship and he is afraid what happened with Frankie and Pau will happen to him and Lili, in other words, no speaking or seeing each other for years!
Meanwhile At Meta Imagen:
FF is still telling Anyballs that Vikki is the amante of the Angel, which begs the question why can't Angel be the lover of Vikki, Hmmm..... anyhoo, FF claims he has a witness in Salsa Dude. He saw it all!!! Ms Vikki isn't the saint she pretends to be. Anyballs doesn't beleive him. FF wants Anyballs to ask Ms Vikki himself, see what she says about that bodyguard!

Corazón Indomable Fri. June 7 Don Ramiro Se Murió
Yes, she's been arrested on trumped up charges of the theft of a very valuable necklace. The police chief scolds her as she is helped to the ground, "You are a disgrace to your grandfather don Ramiro who has always been an honorable man." He does not buy for a single moment her ridiculous story that it was a gift from doña Lucía who had compelled Maricruz to retrieve it from a mud puddle. (Well, when you put it that way, it does sound a bit far-fetched.) He orders the strapping young policemen (no pretty police women?) to escort her inside the fragile looking mint green police shed.
Meanwhile, it looks like Octavio has made a few bucks and is sending a money order along with a note for Miguel to get things started on Maricruz's little house he promised. He writes.
Maricruz is peering out through the back bars of her cell. (Hey, at least she got a room with a view.) In black and white (so we'll know this has already happened) Maricruz recalls the events leading up to her incarceration. That "I was screwed" look of realization creeps across her face as she slowly sinks to floor of her cell and cries out to no one in particular, "I didn't steal nothin'!"

They were apparently released, as Fernando and JA are back at Fernando's place. JA is pouty, saying he's going to get busted eventually. JA fills Fernando in on what Bruno told him. Fernando thinks it's crappy of Bruno to have come all that way just to tell JA to his face what they'd done to him.
Elvira shows up at Colosso's for a booty call. Oh, no, wait, she wants him to convince Maria to go back to work at the bar. She doesn't want to have to keep pulling waitress duty. "I wasn't born to serve! I was born to be served!" Hey, no prob, says Colosso, just get down on your knees and beg her forgiveness. Oh, that's so no going to happen! Colosso says she looks great in her waitress uniform…and asks her to bring him a tequila. He gets slapped for it.

PEAM #64, 06/06/13 – A Kiss is Just a Kiss, A Sigh is Just a Sigh? Really? I Don’t Think So!
Good evening, I am filling in for Tablet Jefa who is off on a secret mission (not really, I am just creating a little drama in my life of entertainment for two bored poodles and forest fire vigilance) so I am here to post a recap:
Elias tells Maricela that the rich bitch is indeed one of the richest of the country. Maricela rightly is not impressed with the woman's rudeness and lack of class.
Pati continues her broken heart drama in front of Alma and Rogue but asks Rogue to walk her down to her car to protect her. They fight in the hallway and after she slaps him he pulls his fist back to everyone's shock but his usual lack of control slips and he stops just in time. She can't believe he is going through with the wedding to her best friend when she knows he loves her. We know it too.
Baby Valentina plays right into Vero's fantasy as she tells papa Jesús that the princess in the fable they are constructing together is named Veronica. Vero gives us a rare ear to ear smile behind the door.
Cardenas and Ricardo talk about the end of year party and how he should use the opportunity to negotiate for his positon.
Elias tells Maricela that his latest complication is that Valentina's therapist is fatally attracted, I mean hopelessly in love with him. Maricela understands how he is such a bon-bon and uses the moment to get into a passionate kiss with him but it is interrupted by our omnipresent Chatita.

Corazon Indomable #18 From Rags to Maxi dresses
You’ll have to excuse me today, I am nursing the biggest hangover from the ‘Basura’ game yesterday. I stopped counting after 20. I’m not sure if I’m sober yet, and I have a pounding headache. Also, no cc’s this time, my recorder didn’t record. Stoopid recorder. So help me out in the comments for what I missed or got wrong. I’ll try to correct it later.
Lucia is showing MC a pile of jewelry. MC is rightfully suspicious, but Lucy promises not to snatch away that football from Charlie Brown. This time she means it. She feels bad that Octavio left her, and she wants to help. Really. She will send the jewelry to the kitchen where MC can get it. Lucia continues to talk to Ester about the plans to get rid of MC once and for all, get her to trust her before she pulls that football away for the final time, and oh no, here we go again. Another basura. Salud! I’m going to need some serious intervention when this TN is over. So Charlie Brown goes into the kitchen once again naívely believing Lucy will hold the ball until Charlie’s foot makes contact. MC gets the bags and starts to look through them. Santa is watching and worries enough for the two of them. Santa doesn’t trust Lucy. She’s seen Lucy snatch that ball away every single time Charlie tries to kick it. But Charlie is certain this time will be different. (I hope everyone gets the Charlie Brown/Lucy analogy, because this makes perfect sense to me in my major hangover head.)

Amores Verdaderos #146 Wed 6/5/13 A Perfect Day for Love, A Perfect Day for Murder
In which:
- Victoria and Arriaga exchange vows of love and then fret over how to tell the kids.
- Lili keeps pestering Guzmán and rejecting Roy
- Bea and Guillo are reunited
- Aníbal pays Lili for her silence and in doing so, antagonizes Candelaria.
- Nabila's life proves nasty, brutish and short
Nelson is gone and Victoria is uneasy about what he might do next. Arriaga tells her they can think about the outside world tomorrow. This is their first night together. They kiss. Awww.
Liliana turns a deaf ear to Roy, insisting that she only has eyes for her Frankie. Maybe she and Roy had something at one time but he ruined it with his lies. For his part, Roy can't believe she's rejecting him for a guy who doesn't love her. Doesn't she get it that Guzmán and Nikki are in love with each other? (That is, they are both 10's.) He, Roy the Boy, is the one is love with her! (That is, he and Lili are both 6's, maybe 7's.)

Love on the Lawn—Big Angel and Vicki finally do it! (But they don't do "it" on the lawn. They just have a picnic and smooch there.) |
SUMMARY, not in order, may be condensed to preserve my sanity.
* We have a refrito of Vicki and Big Angel doing their mating dance, wandering all over the estate in various positions and smooching. Finally they make it to the bedroom and disrobing commences. We start a love scene which we don't see in detail.
Love is in the air! |
* Betty is doing better in the hospital. Meanwhile, Mr. Mezclo. (Can't remember his name—the homeless guy) is wringing his hands in guilt because he didn't try to reunite Guillo with his family sooner. He prays for forgiveness. Behind him, Paula and Felipe are talking in the waiting room about how they hope to locate Guillo soon—oblivious that Guzmancito has already found him! We cut to Guzman chatting with Guillo in his hospital room.
Poor guy, feeling worried and guilty. |

Qué Bonito Amor #37 (Mex 55-56.1) Tuesday 6/4/13 Que Pasa? Bonito Amor in the Afternoon
Gloria’s Place
Paloma and Roddy are actually doing a good job studying and not horsing around. Gloria has prepared them a special dish from their region—Tacos de Trompas (they are very yummy little pork filled tacos made from wheat flour—said to have been introduced by Lebanese immigrants and popular in Nuevo Leon and other parts of northern Mexico). There is certainly puppy dog love in the air and Gloria is ok with it. She likes Paloma a lot. Paloma assures Roddy that he can “Cuentas conmigo.” Gloria asks about her Quinceañera fiesta, but Paloma tells her she cancelled it. It was her decision—she didn’t have a chambelan anyway. Roddy looks a bit guilty.
Amalia’s Place
Maria arrives back home with ingredients for dinner. She’s happy to see JA, until she sees his face [with a tiny little redness on one cheek—how she could see that is beyond me]. What’s that, how did you get that? JA sheepishly confesses that he an Coloso got into a little rumble-for-two. Exasperated, Maria wants to know for WHAT? Hmmm, he made me mad because the coward won’t get an ADN test. And that was enough to provoke you? Hmmm, no. How many times have I told you, NO GOLPES. Gulp. No more fighting—what is it about men who want to settle their differences a golpes? What did I tell you the last time? Hmm, no more violencia a golpes. Forget me. Go away. He protests. It was legitimate. She looks in his puppy-dog eyes and relents a little. When you realize how opposed I am to fighting, THEN come looking for me. Ooooh, is this it for our two-never-to-be-separated lovers?
Coloso’s Place
He's pacing around the place. The Mendozas are ganging up on him. JA with his Chiquita and Paloma with that kid who thinks he’s Coloso's.
Irasema’s Place
Susano and Ira are having a little afternoon delight. It’s sweet. He’s so gentle with her. She lets him take the lead. They need some privacy, but we might take a peek a little later.
Amalia’s Place
JA and Maria are still “discussing” violence and manly pride. He unexpectedly kisses her. She forgives him. Then Maria fills him in on her busy day—quitting the bar gig, quitting school, looking for work. Whoa, back up, JA says, you quit your job at the bar, why? It’s all Elvira’s fault. Maria got tired of her abuse and bullying. She spent the day looking for work. They have so many debts and family upkeep to consider. JA feels responsible for her situation, for her, for her family. He promises that someday she will lack for nothing. That’s a nice sentiment but it’s not reality, Maria tells him, poor people have to live from day to day. They don’t have a some-day. Those are dreams. JA doesn’t want her to quit school. She had to, she did, y punto.

PEAM, Tuesday 6/4/13 (#62): I Withdraw the Question
Now alone, Fernando tries to gripe about that meddlesome "Encanto," but realizes that Chucho saved his life. Fernando can't figure out why, especially after the nasty way he's always treated Chucho.
Chatita has prepared some lovely broth for Vero, conveniently forgetting that Vero had requested jasmine tea. (If I recall correctly, the broth was already on the stove last night and I don't think Chatita ever intended to serve anything else!) Vero asks where Alma went; Chatita says she's folding the laundry. She suggests that Vero get together with Alma so that they can compare notes on their own time instead of always asking her about each other!
Alma has to go back to the office. No soup for her! She pauses in tribute at Chatita's shrine to St. Thomas.
Vero says the soup looks great, but she starts picking things out of her bowl. Hasn't she any manners at all? I withdraw the question!

Corazon indomable #17, Tuesday, 06/04/13 A broken hearted heroine, villains plotting ten schemes at a time and a hero that is in time out for the moment
Yesterday MariCruz got her crazy on by shooting Octavio in the leg. He was on a horse, moving, so she must be a very good shot, since she hit him exactly where she intended to. And Octavio somehow realized she was his aggressor (if that is not true love, than I don’t know what is) and decided to cover for her. But every time he does something decent, his tiny brain reminds him that he’s an idiot, so he goes and does something unpleasant, like making love to her under false pretense. And then leaving her to Miguel’s will. And then staying fully clothed even when injured (Note to MariCruz: next time shoot him in the shoulder, or better yet, in the ribs area, watching Cristian de la Fuente get “cured” from his shot in AB was truly…riveting).

Amores Verdaderos #144 Mon 6/3/13 FINALLY a bit of relief for Frankie!!, the 3 amores of Vicky have their due... Carlos: his moment to man up to Anyballs; Angel, his moment in paradise; Nil-Brains, his cuernos
Recap of Vicky confronting Carlos by the SUV, she admits her mistake of the past in chosing husband, but that he has a double identity and that she kissed Carlos, not this stranger in front of her. He increases the pressure. 'Your bodyguard said he loves you. Do you love him??' She won't answer.
At Nikki's room, Nil-Brains comes on, wants to talk. She doesn't. How could you marry that... 'Low-bookie'... She won't hear any explanations. She yells he is a married man. He won't admit his mistakes, would rather blame her mother. She stopped 'fulfilling her marital duty, I am young, had to look elsewhere'. Nikki won't bulge, 'you let her become my friend!, and you let her be in this house and mock my mother and me!'. He claims he could not stop it. She won't hear it. 'You had every chance of confessing, but you would not dare lose her!' Nil-Brains changes strategy, begs Nikki not to hurt KenDrat, 'she is pregnant with your sister, whether you like it or not'...

PEAM #61 06/03/13 - The Dark Days After Christmas Aren't All About Discount Sales
Rogue is being solicitous of Susana, did her husband die while I was away? Probably not, he wants to know if either Alma or Fernando are in. Susana tells him that Fernie is in a foul mood. Rogue shrugs and says what else is new? But Rogue heads towards Fernando's office and here comes Panfilo. He pretends to shake hands and be a stranger to Maricela who is very reluctantly polite, Xochi thinks he is so friendly. Fernando isn't being the least bit friendly to Rogie, Fernando claims he ruined his life, Descua left him forever, Rogue claims to have done it for his own good. Descua was rendering him mindless without liberty and he only wants him to be free. Fernando says he is ruined, but Rogue counters with sincere confusion of how he could be ruined over feelings for a mere "woman??" Fernando bemoans the light of his life has gone forever, maybe he has a brain cell left as he explains that he had something of his own for once and now he has nothing including he doesn't have the will to live any longer.
Paty has nothing either but continues to pretend that perhaps Chucho is bringing more than hot coffee to her. He asks her if she knows why Alma is so bitter (enpeñada). For stubbornness (terka) Paty responds. Alma always wants to follow her plans exactly even when they don't make her happy. Paty wants to rub her uhhhh, ego against him a bit more but he excuses himself and seems to have learned to turn around and step away while he is delivering his good byes. Paty, licks her lovely lips at this interest of Chucho's in Alma's state of mind.
Fernando let's Rogie know that since Rog ruined his chance at happiness he has a mind to tell Alma all about Patycake and Jessica, the whips, the affairs, the film. We see Rogue's eyes grow wide in fear but Fernie assures Rogie he isn't going to sink to this filth (porquería) and bids him a final Adios!!

This recap will not be in order. I am starting with Betty first.
Betty's Dilema Continues:
Betty's family has arrived at the hospital, that would be Felipe and the Pau and Guzmancito. Salsero is with Betty. We'll get to Salsero and Betty in tic. Pau wants to know about the bebe that Betty is carrying, will the bebe make it? The Doc thinks there is a good chance she'll lose the bebe. Salsero is in with Betty and Betty wants to know about the low one, did the cops get him? Salsero tells her he's dead, the cops shot him during the shoot out, he'll never hurt her again. She looks relieved but wants to know where Guillo is, he must be with his Abue. Salsero tells her that the low one took him to the country and that Abue doesn't have him, he ran away. The cops are looking for him now. Betty is really upset cause they looked for poor Guillo for four months already and never found him. Now he is all alone and noone to care for him. Salsero wants her to be calm. Meantime, out in the waiting area, Felipe and Pau want to know if Betty knows about the low one being dead and that Guillo is missing. Guzmancito is sure that Salsero told her. They hope Betty takes this well cause if not she could lose, and Felipe cuts Pau off and they are going to the chapel to pray.
