Guapos Thursday March 6th - Of Bladders and Babies
We’ve left the neuropsych ward where Francois just got stuck with a giant traqnquilizer syringe after saying I’m going to kill Constancio for having taken my place! and now we’re in Luci’s bedroom. She is asking Braulio how she looks and he says lovely and distinguished as always. She thanks him for being the only person in the house she can really talk to. She said she had just one little drink, for the pain, to try to be a little happy. Braulio asks her if she’s ever regretted coming back from France. Francois had disappeared, says Luci, and Alex was a baby – my father pressed me to marry Connie. I had no choice.
Did you ever see Francois again? Braulio asks. Yes, says Luci. A few times – he came looking for me. He wanted to take Alex, he was kinda like nutsy. Did you love him, asks Braulio. Yes, with all my heart. But it wasn’t the same for him as for me. Same as with Constancio, I’m not important to him. Must be my destiny.
Damien and Karla are tied up back to back on two chairs in their romantic getaway and Julio has a gun to them. I was gonna call, honest! says Damien. Karla gets hysterical and Julio points the gun at her which shuts her up.
Mili is praying to convent Jesus with Lina in the background. Why do you make it so I’m happy and then everything is taken away? I can’t let Alex’s child grow up hating him like I do my vanishing dad. Lina puts her arm around her and they leave to go home.
Sor Cachete is in the kitchen with Gloria – Mili was here and didn’t say hi to me? No, says Gloria, she just came to pray to Jesus, her boyfriend is going to be a daddy. Gloria exits. That’s nice, thinks the Sor. It takes a bit before it dawns on the good Sor that Mili must be pregnant – she is shocked. Dios mio!
Rorgan gives the flowers that were for Valeria to Socorro, keeping the card. It’s to cheer you up, he says, since she’s so upset about the missing Karla. He then calls the florist and orders up a funeral wreath.
Back to our little love nest where Damien and Karla are still tied up. The baddies are gone, and Karla is jiggling her legs. I’m hungry and I’ve gotta pee soooo bad. Why did you lie to me about all this? Oh, I gotta goooo. You’re a man and it’s easy for you, but not for me. Shut up, says Damien, now I’ve gotta go too. They squabble, Karla twists her legs practically into a knot and jiggles some more.
Lina and Mili have arrived in the kitchen. Mili tells Lina if Regina asks for her, she’s sick or something – she wants to be alone to think. Uh oh, here comes Alex says Lina. Mili splits. Alex asks where Mili is, and Lina fudges around and finally says at the convent. Alex says guess what? I’m going to announce our engagement this evening to my parents. Lina is looks a bit doubtful, but congratulates him and Alex looks puzzled.
The funeral wreath has arrived at the front door. Braulio receives it - it’s for Valeria. She reads the card and takes a fit – from Bobby?! Alex says maybe it’s a mistake. She utters a few choice words about Bobby, who then arrives and asks how she likes her flowers. She smacks him. Alex laughs behind his hand and Rorgan is gleeful.
Hijinks in the kitchen – Rorgan is falling about laughing about Bobby getting smacked. Lina asks how could Bobby see anything in Valeria? Rorgan describes her in juicy terms and then catches himself. Some more goofing around when Horacio finds out Rorgan gave Socorro flowers.
Back to the bondage scene. The baddies are back with the gun – maybe they went to the bathroom. Apparently although she’s tied up again, they’ve let Karla go too and she is grateful. But not Damien – his bladder is about to pop. Let my people goooo! Or at least me! Why worry says Julio to Damien, you’re going to die anyway. Damien tries to sweet-talk him that a fine businessman like him wouldn’t gain anything that way. Revenge, says Julio. Plus he’d make a great example for other deadbeat customers. Karla flips out that she doesn’t want to die. They tell her to shut up. Well, you could call your brother-in-law. Great, says Damien and gives the number while Julio dials his cell phone.
Constancio gets the call in his office. Damien says I’m in trouble. Constancio says what else is new? Solve your problems and get your sorry a** back here to the office. Damien says no, come to Cuernavaca or they’ll kill me. Karla screeches they’ll kill us! The baddies cut off the call. Constancio looks troubled. What chaps me is that they get cell phone reception in Cuernavaca and here I am in Los Angeles and can’t get a signal. No fair. Constancio tells Andrea to order him up a car – he’s going to Cuernavaca. He looks exasperated.
Bobby is telling Valeria that he ordered red roses! With no thorns so she wouldn’t prick her fingers. Braulio is there, and Alex too, getting a quiet laugh out of it. Alex says Bobby is right, it must’ve been a mix-up at the florist, but Valeria isn’t buying it. I want you out of my sight in 5 seconds says Valeria to Bobby. Bobby evaporates and Braulio totes off the offending wreath. Alex reproaches Valeria, but she says who cares? I already have a boyfriend.
Bobby and Valeria run into their ma. Que haces aqui? they ask her kindly. She said she had to come back, she didn’t want to be without her children. Good thing says Alex, I have some big news to tell you later. He takes off. What news Luci asks Val. Val guesses maybe he’s back with Andrea. Oh horrors, says Luci. Why are you that way says Val – poor Andrea, she’s suffering due to Alex. Don’t believe it, says Luci.
Constancio must’ve had some really tight coordinates because he’s found his way right to the casa de bondage. He berates Damien briefly. Julio wonders if a brother-in-law like Damien is worth saving. Julio explains that it’s just business, he wants the debt paid. Will Connie pay? I don’t know, says Connie. Damien is shocked, begs him. Connie hauls back like he’s going to smack him, but Julio stops him. Let’s all be civilized! Connie asks for a moment alone with Damien. Oddly, the baddies agree, and go to untie Karla. What are you going to do to me, asks Damien. Constancio smiles at him with a kinda crazy look in his eye.
Bobby is at the florist and finds out about the second flower order. Rorgan has been there earlier to pay and the flower lady describes him. Bobby is furious. Rocky!
Constancio is telling Damien that he’s going to make a proposition. If Damien says yes, he’ll pay the debt. If Damien says no, Damien will die.
“Yes!” says Damien. Wait’ll you hear, says Connie. He wants all of Damien’s 20% of the shares. Damien says then I’ll have nothing. Finally he bargains Connie down to leaving him 5%. (I’m not sure I got this right – please correct if it’s wrong.) Connie laughs demonically.
Back in the kitchen Socorro is telling Lina and Horacio how worried she is about Karla – she’s never taken off like this. Lina says Don Damien is missing too – she noticed when she went to clean his room. Socorro wants to go pray to her santo and she and Horacio leave. Mili comes in and tells Lina she’s going to help serve dinner tonight because it tears her up that Alex wants to announce their engagement and she wants to be there.
Rorgan and Bobby are out front arguing about the flowers. They both tell the other that Val’s not interested in him. Meantime, the handsome new novio pulls up, goes to the front door and is greeted by Val who throws her arms around his neck and cries out “mi amor!” Bobby and Rorgan both curse him – they are brothers in rejection.
Alex runs into Mili in the hall. He sees her unhappiness and takes it for nerves. He says everything is going to be great tonight and he takes off.
Back at the convent, Sor Cachete is trying to tell the padre that Mili is pregnant but it takes forever for her to finally spit it out. He is shocked.
The family is gathering in the foyer that as usual doesn’t have enough chairs, so most of them are standing around. Even Andrea is there, and Hugo arrives, saying Alex really urged him to come. Connie and Damien walk in, looking like nothing had happened. Regina descends and somebody has to get up off the weensy couch so she can sit. Alex starts his announcement by saying it’s something that makes him very happy. Andrea looks smug. Excuse me for interrupting says Mili, but I want to be the first to congratulate you. Congratulate me? Alex says. Yes, says Mili, you’re going to be a papa. Andrea gloats. Alex is impactado.
The family party is in a shambles. Constancio tells Mili he didn’t expect that of her. She says what? Regina says to him with your past, better not talk. Luci is shocked. Hugo tells Alex he’s trash. Alex says he doesn’t know what’s going on. Regina heads up the stairs telling she wants the two of them in her room right now. Andrea is really enjoying all this. But it’s Damien who gets off the worst insult – he tells Alex “you’re worse than I am.” Wow - I didn’t know there was a level below Damien.
Val’s new novio Sergio excuses himself. Bobby and Alex are puzzled. Mili says I’m not expecting! Alex begs her to be more clear. Andrea smiles and says with relish “I’m pregnant with our child.”
Socorro and Horacio are in the kitchen when Karla comes in. Socorro throws her arms around her, but Karla doesn’t care. I was so worried! She spies the rope burns on her arms – did Damien do something bad to you? You were gone all night! Well, get used to it Ma says Karla, I’m going to shake off the uniform and I’m shaking off you and your life too. If this weren’t a comedy, I’d predict an early and agonizing death for Karla. Horacio comforts a crying Socorro.
Constancio is on the phone with the padre, Damien is listening. Connie says he’s heard – Mili confessed in front of the whole family. He says he’s very upset. After he hangs up, Damien says why are you so pale? This doesn’t really have much to do with you – why is it bugging you so much?
Valeria and Luci are in Luci’s room lamenting this turn of events. The shame! What will Valeria tell her friends? What will she tell Sergio? Luci says my son is having a child with a servant! It’s the end of the world! And it’s maybe my fault because… no, never mind. But there is one way out, says Luci – you know what a super Catholic I am, but abortion’s the only way out. Mama! Vale is shocked.
Confab in the kitchen – the staff are discussing the latest developments. Rorgan says they’ll just have to marry. Horacio observes that they’ve been broken up for a while and yet she’s pregnant? Nobody follows up on that. Socorro makes a sweet speech about how important a child is. Mili listens sadly and Lina notes she’s quiet. Mili says she just wants to go to bed and be alone.
Regina and Luci are facing off. Luci is blaming Regina – Luci wanted Mili thrown out a long time ago. Regina says she never thought Alex would go so far. Luci says don’t blame Alex, but Regina notes he a man and not a saint. Luci says she doesn’t want a bastard for a grandson, Regina says Alex is going to do the right thing by Mili, to which Luci says he’s not your real grandson. Luci doesn’t seem to notice any holes in her argument, but we all sure do.
Regina says their love is pure and she’s going to defend it. Luci says over my dead body. Now Regina finally speaks for all of us: What’s wrong with you Luci? Your own son is not legitimate! Naturally Luci has no good answer and she stomps off.
Mili is out on the nighttime lawn talking to Hugo. He says naturally the family isn’t exactly chinking glasses over her news. After some back and forth, he mentions that she’s pregnant and she says not me, it’s Andrea. And it’s just like you and everyone to think that of me! Hugo says that’s what it sounded like. Mili is furious.
Now Luci is telling Constancio that she doesn’t want a grandchild by a servant. He tells her to shut up for once. He says he’ll take care of the matter tomorrow. She says that
I wanna see.
Alex is telling Mili in the kitchen that this won’t impact the two of them. She says now we have nothing and she runs off.
Constancio and the padre are in the study. Constancio says Alex can’t marry a servant, it would wreck his political career. That’s not what’s important, says the padre. Constancio says he must do the right thing, and that thing is to send her away, back to the convent. The padre looks exasperated.
In her room, Regina is telling Mili how she supports her and how she and Alex will marry and have the baby. You too? says Mili. It’s Andrea having the baby. Regina’s eyes pop.
Alex is talking to Andrea and wondering about the timeframe. She says it adds up. Alex said he thought she’d been in charge of being careful and she notes that it’s not just the responsibility of one person. She takes responsibility for consequences – she’s an adult. Can I count on you? I’ll think about it, says Alex. Fine, let me know, says Andrea and she starts to vamp off. Oh, and by the way, I think your family misunderstood. Please tell them the baby is mine.
The padre and the MS are in conference – what to do? She says that the two are victims of circumstance and it’s time to tell them that they are brother and sister.
End of part I.
Andrea comes into Constancio’s office. How ‘bout the news last night? You’re going to be a grandfather. It turns my stomach, says Connie. Alex is an idiot.
Alex and Bobby are in Alex’s room. Alex is agitated and pacing. Mili is ignoring him and now surely Andrea will expect him to marry her. I don’t want to even think of the baby. What do I do? Bobby says he’ll support Alex whatever he decides. The phone rings – it’s the good padre. Alex agrees to come see him.
Lina and Mili are in the kitchen – Mili is really down. Lina says that sometimes it helps to talk, but Mili just wants to forget. Excellent girlfriend Lina says don’t forget you’re not alone. The phone rings in the kitchen and Mili picks up (do they have a switchboard operator somewhere?). It’s the padre and Mili agrees to come see him.
Julio is walking into a restaurant and walks up to a table – where Connie is sitting. They look seriously at one another and then crack up laughing. What a great plan! They compliment each other on being geniuses at getting the shares away from Damien. Connie tells Julio he’s a great actor. Julio whips out a briefcase and says here’s your money. Money? Says Connie. I didn’t quite catch what that was about, but I think it’s left over from their swindle and Julio gets to keep it.
Connie’s cell rings. It’s the padre, natch. Connie says okay, but does it have to be now? Apparently yes. Julio and Connie look at each other and crack up again.
Damien is in his office talking to himself. I’ve lost everything! Everything!
Vale is by a different pool with Sergio – it’s a semi-indoor pool, but she’s not in a bathing suit, she has a little short spring dress on. She apologizes for having neglected him a bit due to everything happening. Rorgan appears behind a pillar and watches. They smooch and he gets agitated. Sergio drops to one knee and Rorgan panics. Sergio proposes, and Rorgan runs out saying she’s mine! He tackles Sergio and they both fall in the pool and wrestle around while. Vale says stop stop!
Braulio has brought a tea to Regina, but she says I don’t need it, I’m not tense. She is worried about Mili. Braulio says it’s just like with his sister – a pregnant servant. And Mili is the same age as Rosario was and has the same innocence. He said he couldn’t sleep all night thinking of his sister. And you know how the family handles such problems.
Mili isn’t pregnant, it’s Andrea, says Regina. Braulio pops his eyebrows, but tries to not to look ruffled. What’s happening, he asks. I don’t want to talk about it says Regina. But excellent friend Braulio sits next to her on the couch and says sometimes it helps to talk. Regina says it’s that she’s frightened for her son – there’s someone who wants to kill him and is crazy enough to actually do it. Braulio suggests calling the police, but Regina says the guy is in a nut house, they wouldn’t take it seriously. Who is this guy asks Braulio. Regina says a person who wants to kill Connie and then she pops out the truth – it’s the real father of Alex. This time Braulio can’t hide his astonishment. He takes up Regina’s teacup and has a slurp.
Mili is walking to the convent. Alex comes up. Que haces aqui? I’ve been thinking he says – I want us to continue. No, says Mili, I can battle everybody, but not a baby. I don’t want to steal a baby’s father. I have to go now, I’m off to see the padre. Me too, says Alex. They are both surprised.
Connie is already with the padre. Padre says the best way to keep them apart is to tell the truth. Connie is reluctant but says okay. Mili and Alex come in. Alex spots Connie and says Que haces aqui? The padre says Connie wants to tell you something important.
Connie tells about when I was your age, I fell in love a servant and she had a baby. I know, says Alex. Connie continues, it’s hung over me ever since. I need to tell you the truth, now that Mili is pregnant. Mili is exasperated and after some back and forth, Alex tells Connie and the padre that it’s Andrea who’s pregnant. The padre is ecstatic. And what was the truth you wanted to tell us asks Alex. That you are… you are… you are an idiot for getting Andrea pregnant. Connie stomps off. The truth must wait for yet another day, it seems. (It now occurs to me that though he never mentioned it, Connie must’ve been thinking there were 2 Alex spawn in play.)
Braulio is still seated next to Regina. She tells him that one day years ago the police found an injured vagrant with no papers. All he had on him was the phone number of the mansion. She answered the phone that day. She knew it was Francois because she’d heard him arguing before with Luci. The hospital cured his physical wounds, but not his mind. Regine decided to be responsible and since then has sent money for his care. But what scares her is that someone had attacked him, someone who obviously wanted to kill him.
Out by the pool, Sergio and Rorgan are out of the water. Sergio would still like to take a swing at him. Vale tells Rorgan he wrecked her marriage proposal. Rorgan says you shouldn’t get engaged to somebody you hardly know. Vale orders him out of her sight, out of the house. You’re fired! Sergio wants to hug her but ick! He’s all wet.
Back on the couch with Regina and Braulio. She says there is something worse, but she doesn’t want to talk. It’s terrible to carry such a secret alone says Braulio. Let me be your confidante. Regina says ever since she heard Francois say Constancio’s name, she’s afraid that his insanity has something to do with Constancio. Braulio says that telling things helps chase away phantoms and suggests she have a nice nap and she’ll feel better. She pats his gloved hand. Sweet!
We’re in the padded cell. Francois is wide-eyed crazy still. He is thinking, maybe remembering. He sees himself in a field, bloodied, with a couple of thugs holding him. One holds a gun to him. And there is Connie, laughing. The odd thing about this scene is that Francois is pudgy and middle-aged looking, and Connie’s hair is salt and pepper under his cap. If this is real, when would it have taken place?
In the kitchen, Rorgan is telling Horacio and Socorro that he’s fired. Horacio jokes around a little bit, and then says don’t worry, she’ll forgive you. Yes, it’s love says Rorgan. Really she loves me. This guy’s a more benign form of nuts than Hugo and Francois.
Andrea comes in to Luci’s room. They are frosty polite to each other. They agree they need to have a chat. Luci congratulates Andrea on her pregnancy. Andre wants to talk about the other thing, but Luci says she doesn’t want to go there. She wants to know if the baby is Alex’s or Connie’s. Alex’s, says Andrea. How can you be so sure asks Luci. I just know says Andrea. Luci’s not convinced and says she wants to know if she’s going to be a grandmother, or if Alex is going to have a half-brother.
Luci gets tough. She’s tells Andrea that she’s not going to entrap her son with a pregnancy and she’s not going to get to marry him. She says she intends to enjoy the rest of her life. Andrea says drinking as you go along? Luci says don’t think I’m weak. You’re going to have an abortion and pretend it happened naturally. At your age, that happens a lot. Andrea protests she’s a good age to be a mother. Luci says I put up with Constancio, I know he’s always had affairs with grasping women, But when it comes to my son – watch out!
Andrea says so you’re saying you’re willing to share Connie with me. That’s right, says Luci, but you have to end your pregnancy. They glare at each other.
Vale and Sergio are on a couch. He wants to get married right away – she says why the rush, it’s fun being novios. He just can’t wait. She says like when? Today, tomorrow! Within a month. But she says Andrea and Alex are going to get married, they better wair for them. Sergio says he just can’t wait and Andrea says how sweet and says yes. A month will give her time to prepare. Rorgan watches from the doorway and sees them kiss. Mili appears, sees what’s going on and drags Rorgan away.
Rorgan is in the kitchen lamenting to Mili. She says why be interested in Vale? Find someone else. Besides, she and Sergio hardly know each other. Rorgan grabs some of Regina’s lunch from the tray and says he has to eat to fill the void. Mili sweetly tells him there will be a woman for him who loves him. I’ll find her? Asks Rorgan. No, she’s find you, says Mili. Rorgan cries. Jesus will help finding someone for you. Rorgan hugs her and says thank you.
Andrea and Luci are still at it. Andrea says no deal, but she notes that Luci is willing to pay a big price, sharing Connie. Luci says yes, and it’s just between the two of us. Andrea thinks it over and says again no. I’m going to have this baby and I’m going to marry Alex.
Andrea says that being Connie’s lover hasn’t just gained her money, it’s gained her information. I can destroy your family and if you think this is hell now, it’s nothing compared to what it will be if you try to thwart me. She flounces out. Luci grabs the handy hooch from the bedside table and has a slug. She wonders if Andrea knows that Alex isn’t Connie’s real son.
Alex comes to Regina’s room for counsel. He is crying and tells her how he was looking forward to telling the family about him and Mili – how they would protest, the look on his father’s face. How he would stand up to them, how he is a fellow who knows what he wants. Regina says everything has changed – you’re going to have a baby. Alex says he doesn’t love Andrea and he wants to be with Mili. They hug and he weeps some more. What am I going to do?
Regina says once you hold that baby in your arms, you’ll feel totally different, believe me. I know a man who was so happy he was going to be a daddy and then he never got to see his child. My father asks Alex. Yes, says Regina.
I know I’d love a baby, says Alex, but the time’s not right. But it is the time, says Regina, babies come when they come and you have to love them and take care of them. Alex says it isn’t that I wouldn’t love a baby, it’s just that.. That you don’t love the mother finishes Regina. Yes says Alex, it’s so different with Mili. He breaks down lays his head in her lap and sobs. She pets his hair and kisses his head.
Mili comes in to see Hugo in his room. He says so you’ve forgiven me? Of course, she says. She says she feels sad, odd. She says it’s funny, she was just comforting Rorgan, and here she is in the same straits. I came because you’re my friend, you can tell me everything will be all right. Except that nothing will ever be all right again – I feel like I’m dying inside. She sobs and he puts his arms around her and comforts her.
Andrea is in Connie’s office telling him about Luci’s offer. Connie agrees with Luci, better get rid of the kid. Andrea says how do you know it’s not yours? I had a vasectomy after Valeria; I’m shooting with blanks, says Alex. The main thing is that nothing change between us even though you’re pregnant. I’m not pregnant smiles Andrea.
Regina is asking Luci about Francois. Luci doesn’t want to talk about it. Regina rubs in about their having been lovers before she married Connie. Did she get together with him after her marriage? Yes, says Luci, but not as lovers. He was very upset about Alex seeing Connie as his father and taking his name. He wanted his son.
I didn’t see him for a long time after that, says Luci. When Alex was about 13, Francois called and said he was here and wanted to tell Alex the truth. I told Connie about it. And what happened? Asks Regina. Well, it was strange, he never showed up. Regina looks shaken. What is it asks Luci. Nothing, lies Regina.
Connie is smilingly telling Andrea she’s a bad girl for her tricks. He says what if I tell? She says you wouldn’t or you’d be done with me forever. He wants to know what Alex’s got that he hasn’t. She says you’re married. He says what if I were a widower? She says I’m not gonna wait for that. She says she wants a better job and a good position in society with a rich husband with a good name and Alex is just the guy for that. And we can keep being lovers. Oh, you’re perverse says Connie, and I love it. They start necking.
Regina and Luci again. Why are you asking all these questions Luci wonders. Oh, just curious. Well, I guess I should have mentioned all this before, but I didn’t want to stir up troubles. Regina asks if Luci has ever thought about what would happen if Alex found out what she’s been hiding all these years. Luci says she forbids the mention of Francois’s name and that the secret will be forever buried. Are you so sure of that asks Regina.
Connie is in the office telling Damien that he’s going to go start arranging for the marriage of Andrea and his son. Your son and your lover? asks Damion. It’s for appearances says Connie, for my political career. You’re trash, says Damien. Hey, nice words, I just saved your life, says Connie. Next time I’m gonna let them shoot you. And if you incur any more gambling debts I’m not paying, you’re going to pay them with your shares. He pinches Damien’s cheeks like you would a baby’s.
Horacio is making a prison visit. It’s Roxana he’s visiting! Seems she had some illicit dealings. He said she should have called Connie to help her out. She says no I have lawyers taking care of things - I want to tell you that I lied. I want to tell you about our daughter. Horacio is confused. She says yes, I never loved her, maybe because she was from you and I hated you so much. Our daughter works in your house as a servant. Horacio is impactado, says he always felt some special closeness with the girl. Go and tell her says Roxanna, who gets up and leaves. Horacio weeps and says my daughter!
Connie is talking to Andrea and a pony-tailed Alex at home. He says he will have everything arranged in 2 weeks. Alex says leave that to me. Connie says Alex has to take care of his responsibilities. Andrea says let me talk to Alex alone. Connie says okay and leaves.
Alex fidgets. Andrea strokes his hair and says how happy they all will be. Alex jumps up and yells no! Mili is descending the stairs unnoticed. I’m never going to marry you! I will give the child my name, we can be friends, but I’m going to marry the woman I love, Milagros! Mili is impactada. Okay, says Andrea, in that case I’ll get rid of the kid now. Mili rushes down the stairs. No! Don’t do that. Freeze frame.
Avances: Braulio finds his sister’s photo in Mili’s book. Mili gimme my mother’s photo!

I Love Juan Thur 3/06 - In which Yadi shrieks shrew-like, she's shallow and shameful
~~~~~~~~~~~
Juan turns away before Pau makes it outside. She sees him, asks herself "What am I doing" and stops herself from calling to him. As she runs back into the building a guy in a car, conspicuously hiding behind a newspaper, gawks at her and takes notes.
Kike and Topete are alone at a table. Kike wants to know Topete's business with Yadi. Topete is a practiced scoundrel and easily messes with Kike's head. First he says that he and Yadi enjoy intellectual exchange, that's all. (Collective guffaw from the viewers!!) Then he asks if Kike has an inferiority complex. Does Kike mistrust his wife? Does Kike think he (Topete) would jeapordize his career? Not only does Kike insult him but he insults all professors and all women who dream of bettering themselves. Kike is confounded.
CL continues to berate Moni for confusing business with pleasure. He smokes heavily which indicates he is royally ticked off. Long story short, he demands one good reason why Gustavo should work for Farell. Moni answers there are millions of reasons, the shareholders want Gustavo to take charge of publicity whether or not CL agrees. Does he want to battle the shareholders? No? She flounces out in victory.
Juan breaks the news to Sra. Pompous that his little doves have flown the coop and only one remains. She tells him one student isn't enough for her class so he tries to talk her into selling him a manual that he can take back to Achi to train the contestants.
It looks like Pau noticed the spy outside. She calls CL and demands to know about the vigilante/guard that he hired. CL squirms and answers that he hired the guy for protection. This sets Pau off and she rips CL a new one. She concludes her diatribe by recommending that next time he should hire a peeper who is less of an imbecile than the one sitting outside.
CL summons Pastor so he can blame him for hiring a substandard private eye. He insults Pastor, demands he hire a new spy with two neurons in his head, and then insults him again before ordering him to leave.
Juan and the Pomposas agree on a price for their Handbook of Charm. Smiles all around.
Pau calls Mari at work to tell her about seeing Juan and discovering the "guard" that CL set outside the building. She whines about her torment over Juan. Mari suggests she get job or do something to occupy her mind. Then Pau does something so totally out of character that I had to rewind; she asks how Mari is. When Mari reveals that Fer proposed Pau says she'll show up early for lunch so she can hear all the details.
Yadi storms onto the university to pick a fight with Amarga. Topete shows up just as Yadi screams that the Profa is an old gossip. She really lets the Profa have it and tells Topete (and everyone else in the lunchroom) that she is only responding, face to face, because the Profa called her home! Topete is impactado.
Kike tells Fer that he got nowhere at the university because Topete discounted his accusations. Fer tells Kike he can't go around accusing someone unless he has the hairs of the donkey in his hand (to prove the donkey is gray). Kike expresses concern about Yadi finding out.
Yadi complains to Topete about his nasty old wife. Topete pretends to look pained and takes the opportunity to tell Yadi that her husband came to see him earlier. It wasn't so bad that Kike insulted Topete's academic prestige, but that he questioned Yadi's dignity! Guess who is bug-eyed, butterfly-headed impactada?
Over at Televisa Juan and Lorena meet with a big producer named Chavita. Chavita checks his schedule and says he's not available during the contest. Lorena wheedles and finally Chavita says he can release Raquel Bigorra and Andrea Garcia to be judges. Lorena is muy, pero muy impactada and fawns all over Chavita who enjoyes the attention.
The beautiful half-sisters, both wearing black and white, meet for lunch to talk about boys. Pau observes that Mari should be just a little excited about Fer's proposal. Mari says Fer is great, she loves him, they have fun, he's tender, but... Pau finishes "but you still have feelings for Juan." Mari admits she's loved Juan since she met him. Pau advises Mari not to get married unless she's certain. (Look at the donkey talking about ears!!) Mari concludes that she just doesn't know but she thinks Fer loves her very much.
Speaking of which, Fer and Kike shop for an engagement ring.
Nidia sleeps (very restlessly) next to the baby which is so still she looks like a doll. Is she real? Nidia gyrates and the baby's eyes widen so I guess she's real. Nidia wakes in a panic recalling she did the horizontal bop with Fer. "No puede ser!"
Yadi arrives at the market to yell at Kike and to call him a lowly worm for seeking out Topete. She's on a rampage and accuses him of not trusting her and trying to spoil her dream. She becomes nasty and mean. She tells Kike that by going to the university he proved he is just a loader of boxes, a mere trucker, unintelligent and uneducated, she's fed up with him! She stomps off and leaves him hurt and tearful. Man I really felt sorry for poor Kike after that. Who was it said dump the bimbo?
Gaitan tells CL that he wants the salary increase he was promised. CL says he's sick of hearing about the famous raise and he doesn't remember promising it, furthermore Gaitan doesn't deserve it. Pastor nervously arranges his toupee while CL tells him to go ahead and resign, the world is full of mediocre executives. They glare at each other with loathing.
Lorena tells Juan she wants to celebrate their success by going to bed. He thought bubbles that this little goat doesn't beat around the bush. He's tempted but he suggests she take a cold shower and wait for him at the hotel. He manages to get her into a taxi. He thinks that ever since Juanito mentioned it Marely has been bouncing around his head. He decides he can't go back to Achi without knowing if she still loves him.
Juan visits Kike at the market where Kike tells him that Yadi really chewed him out. Kike tells his tale of confronting Topete and Juan tells Kike that all the girls left except Lorena who has the hots for him. He doesn't want to hook up with her because he doesn't see her as a companion or a mother to his kid. He has someone else in mind, can Kike guess who? It's someone that Kike suggested. "Doña Nidia?" asks Kike? Juan tells him to stop clowning; does he know if Mari still loves him? Kike is aghast and tells Juan that Fer is serious about Mari and plans to propose marriage that very evening.
CL comes home late and Pau pretends to be asleep.
Juan thought bubbles of all the bum luck, just when he had a hope for Mari, but of course Fer would be in love with her. If his little rose garden has her little bit of heaven then he will just have to accept it and wish them luck.
Downstairs at Casa Cachón Kike warns Fer that if he marries a Cachón he will carry a cross and wear a crown of thorns all his life.
Upstairs Mari sits between a bickering Nidia and Yadi. Nidia declares she won't speak until Yadi apologizes. Yadi accuses Nidia of taking the baby out on the town. Nidia sucks her Sugar Daddy and accuses Yadi of being arrogant. The Bickersons are interrupted by Kike who announces that Fer wishes to see not Mari but Nidia. The ladies all get big eyes.
Lorena slinks into Juan's room and suggests they go out to eat. When he declines she gushes that she doesn't want to go out either, much better to eat in, verdad? Juan thinks that perhaps Lorena might be the cure for his ailments.
Down in the Cachón salon Nidia suggests a round of tequila. Mari scolds that she thought Nidia was on the wagon. Fer begins his speech, he and Mari are novios...suddenly Delirio arrives, interrupting and blathering. Nidia mutters, "The fly in the soup." Delirio insists on inserting himself between the lovebirds. Undaunted, Fer continues his narrative, or tries to. Kike serves the tequila which sets Nidia and Delirio off again. Yadi tells them all to shut up and she insists that Fer speak quickly or shut up forever.
Fer, in rapid-speak, gets to the point, he wants to marry Mari and will Nidia approve yes or no?
Juan succumbs to Lorena's pantherine charms. Meanwhile Paula tosses and turns in bed; she suddenly sits up and calls Juan's name.
Chelo starts to go home but remembers to tell CL about something odd. Earlier his wife jumped up from the couch, looked out the window, ran outside, then came back a short while later. Chelo the suck-up, obviously angling to keep her job, tells CL he has a lot of patience but he has to put the baby first. (This sounds a bit ominous to me.) CL smokes intently.
Nidia tries to respond to Fer but memories of their prior boinkage interrupt her thoughts. She shakes them off and manages to give her consent. She waxes eloquent on Mari's virtues then demands a toast, another round!
Juan saves himself from Lorena by reminding himself that since she is a contestant and he is the contest organizer it's against the rules for them to fraternize. He unravels her from his body and plonks her outside his door. He's safe but is reduced to crawling about on his knees, no doubt due to ESB.
Fer presents the ring to a somewhat underexcited Mari. She begins to explain her feelings but they are interrupted by a slurring Nidia. Mari is angry, drunk again? Nidia wants a couple of words with Fer. They have something serious, but very serious, to discuss in the office.
Anga strolls into his darkened livingroom and finds Pastor who is unable to sleep. Anga asks if the honeymoon with CL is over so quickly. He asks if the birds that Pastor painted have returned to enslave him. (?) Pastor tells Anga about asking for his raise and CL's response. Anga says he told him so and Pastor concurs, he made a bad decision. He tries to make a pitiful puppy face but Anga tells him not to to bother, as he said before don't come crying to him after choosing Farell.
Fer looks nervous while Nidia gets serious. She asks they had something going on, didn't they? They shared kisses and loving, right? She reels at his expression. So it's true! Ay sainted virgin, everything in her head was true? Fer nods his head sadly. Nidia mentions that Fer also boinked Yadi. He nods again but adds that it was long before Yadi was married, and he and Nidia were an accident. Nida blows her top and calls him names, swine, womanizer. If he thinks he's going to marry into their family he's very wrong because she won't allow him to disgrace her daughter's life!
Molo lightens up the conclusion by dancing the Cachibombo through the credits.
Tomorrow: Juan dreams of Pau, Pau dreams of Juan, and Mari thinks she might have a chance.

Thursday March 6: Univision gives us no Pasion
Labels: Pasion
Pasion – March 5, 2008 – This never happened to Errol Flynn!!! (Parts I and II)
Alas, I again was unable to finish last night, but will finish it later today. I have posted the first half as I know many of you read it with breakfast. I may be dating myself with the title, but it refers to our MMM (Main Man Mario) who is not having as good a day as he thought. I will start with the sad news that Pasion has reached its “etapa culminante” (culminating section or portion) and is therefore not long for this channel (I’m guessing 6 weeks or so?). The good news is that it’s heir apparent is the already discussed “Fuego en la Sangre” (Fire in the Blood or Blood on Fire) starring Eduardo Yanez and Adela Noriega.
EPISODE 60:As we saw from yesterday’s episode, Al and his cronies are discussing how they will supplement their caravan assaulting income with some nice safe contraband. Uriel is a little concerned as he’ll be doing much of the selling at his store, but Al assures him that Jorge will take care of the paperwork so it looks legit. They will go with Foreman to “La Paisana’s Holiday Pirate Camp” so they know where they’ll drop off the stolen dough and pick up the contraband. They ask about Gonzalo, and he tells them he and Jorge had a chat and they will dispose of him.
Next we see Ric discussing the ED letter with Vasco and Ascanio. He believes that Lis overheard something at the house and went with the chisme to Al, who then killed Bernie and now has the letter. Ascanio questions Lis’ choice and Ric explains that Al’s courting Lis. Vasco goes into his litany of how Bernie must have burned the letter and Ric tells him he hates how lightly Vasco’s taking the whole thing. They start getting riled up and Ascanio tells them to break it up so they don’t upset Justo. Ric tells them how he plans to return the $$ to Lis so she’ll lay off. Later we see Justo’s clan hanging out at Santi’s kitchen. Justo asks Ric & Cami why they haven’t had their wedding feast. Cami looks at Ric and he answers it’s his fault ‘cause he’s been busy, but they’ll have one next week. Santi overhears this and stomps back in the house to see how the birthin’s going. He hears a baby crying and marches into the room to see his surprisingly clean baby. Everyone else also hears the baby crying and smile to each other. Ofi tells Santi it’s a girl and he holds her and cries (from joy for a change). Rita looks surprisingly calm (guess labor exhaustion will actually prevent one from throwing a tantrum).
On to today’s show. Over at the bar/brothel, Main Man Mario tells a group of women the drinks are on him (probably while they entertain Foreman’s footmen). He asks them when they are leaving and they tell him tomorrow. He wants to get the scoop on Foreman’s visit and they tell him to mind his own business. He explains that Foreman tried to get Ric to work with him on the contraband. Since Ric said no, he figures Foreman went to Al and Jorge ‘cause he buys them the money they steal. Hernan says they know nothing and he tells them he wants the cards face up. Lorenzillo says “what if he is?” MMM tells them there’s nothing wrong, he just wants the chisme. They ask what Ric’s story is. He tells them they came for some family business, but he fell in love and that’s why they’re still there. They say: “that’s it?” He responds that nothing ties up a man like a woman. Lorenzillo can’t believe the Dread Pirate Antillano would be all worked up over some “enaguas” (petticoat, underskirt). MMM says they won’t stay much longer as Ric’s getting tired of being a landlubber. He asks what’s next for them and they tell him that they’re off to Chez Paisana to see if El Chino arrived. Then they’ll go back to sea. MMM comments that Juancho won’t be too happy. They tell him they’ll settle it amongst themselves (the pirates @ Chez Paisana).
Now Ric, Jimena, and Cami arrive at Chez Ric. Camila greets Esteban (I think he’s a servant they hired locally, instead of one of Ric’s boys) and tells him that she has a niece. He asks about Rita and she tells him she’s fine. Cami talks about how she’s glad all’s well. Jim says goodnight ‘cause she’s so tired you’d think she was the one that had given birth. Ric and Cami kiss and go back to their room. Cami talks about how pretty the baby is (so far she’s still nameless) and comments that most men prefer boys. She asks Ric if it would bother him if his first-born were a girl? He says no, he’d just make her a pirate captain. Cami says no way, but still smiles. She thanks Ric for coming with her and tells him that when she first saw him at the Iguana, she would never have imagined he’d be so sensitive: Capable of hanging around for a birthing, entertaining an old man who was ill, or with the patience to deal with a child. He tells her he’s only human and that’s the kind of life that he wants. She tells him that must be why she loves him so much. He says he imagines she’s tired (ie – everyone to their own room), Cami says yes, but she’s happy everything went well, you? He says he is too, but she can tell something’s wrong. He says they’ll speak tomorrow but she’s having none of it. He tells her Jorge came. She wants details, but he tells her it would take too long. She says she doesn’t care, she’s got the time. Man, this guy likes to beat around the bush!
Back at Chez Santi, Ofi looks at Rita and baby as Santi walks in. Rita asks if he would have preferred a boy, and he says no, ‘cause that’s what God sent them. He picks up the baby again and says he’s very happy that she (the baby) was born healthy and whole and that Rita’s well. Rita says she thought she was going to die. We, the audience, collectively sigh our disappointment it wasn’t so.
Cut to Ric and Cami lying on the bed discussing what Santi did for Cami. Cami doesn’t think it’s fair that Santi should give up his rights for her. Besides, she’d rather not be reminded of that unpleasant business, how about Ric? He wouldn’t like it either. She asks Ric if he’ll talk to Santi about forgetting the whole ugly mess. He tells her it’s not his place, only she can have that conversation. She nods and they kiss. She starts unbuttoning his vest. He looks down and decides not remind her they’d taken a vow of celibacy ;)
Al bangs on Manuela’s door and tells her he’s going out and won’t be back ‘till tonight. He tells her to deliver a letter to Lis, but not to let anyone see it, especially Ric. He leaves and Nana comes in to bring Mani her hot chocolate (non-sequitor, if you haven’t tried Mexican hot chocolate, I highly recommend it ‘cause it’s awesome). Nana asks if Al’s going on another trip, and Mani tells her about the letter and how she’s always running errands for him. Nana tells her that’s ‘cause he’s her dad. Besides, his intentions towards Lis are probably honorable. Mani speculates that they can’t be that honorable if he hasn’t talked to Ric. Nana reminds her that Ric’s not related to Lis, but Mani reminds her he’s the one that brought them to SF. Mani wishes she knew what it says. Nana scoffs that it’s none of her business and she shouldn’t even think about opening it. Mani says she wouldn’t dare, but if he sends her letters every time he leaves town, he must be keeping her informed about something. She wonders if they’re officially engaged.
MMM lurks as Al gallops toward Foreman and company. Hernan asks if Jorge will be riding as well, and Foreman decides that when in Rome, he’ll take Lorencillo’s horse and send the rest of his peeps on the carriage. Jorge, Aurelio, and their 4th musketeer whose name currently escapes me, join them and they discuss how a carriage can be stuffy. Jorge tells Foreman he likes to ride when he hunts. Foreman mentions that he’s never killed an animal. Jorge asks what about a Christian (meaning a human)? Foreman says he’d rather not talk about that. MMM runs back home with the chisme.
On to Part II. Since we last left our heroes....
Ric mentions that El Chino will probably be arriving soon, but Mario wants to take a little ride ‘cause he’s getting cabin fever. Ric tells Mario that he told Lis that Camila will be giving her the $$ back and that he’ll take care of the difference. Mario asks why, but we don’t hear the answer as they cut to the next scene.
Santi’s at church telling padre Agustin that Jorge refused to make a public announcement that he didn’t rape Cami because it would be humiliating. Santi feels Cami’s honor should be taken into account, and Augie tells him that both he and Jorge are very proud men. He tells Santi he should be more humble and accept God’s plans. He asks Santi if he came to give thanks to God for his daughter and asks after Rita. Santi says they’re both well. As they exit the church, they see a procession of men with some fancy red flags and comment it must be a high-ranking church official. They see Gaspar exiting the carriage and the priest exclaims it’s an archbishop. Gaspar gives them a quick blessing in Latin and they both run to kiss his hand. Augie asks what brings him to SF and Gaspar tells them he was on his way to Veracruz and decided to visit someone very dear to him: Ricardo Lopez de Carvajal. Santi is quite impactado and asks if he knows him (no, he just goes around visiting and appreciating people he’s never met!) and Gaspar tells him that Ric is his godson. Who are you? Padre Augie tells Gaspar that Santi is the town blacksmith and that he’s the church pastor.
Back at Chez Ric, Cami brings him some coffee and he asks if she’s off to see Rita. Cami says yes and gives him a flower (aww!) and asks him if he wants to come. Ric starts telling her that his current life is killing him and his men. She asks if he wants to go back to sea and he says he’s spending all his time going from town to home and doing a whole lot of nuthin’. She says she thought he wanted to retire and he says he was hoping to farm or trade. She tells him to do it and he asks if she would leave with him. She says yes and he says she doesn’t sound very convinced and she explains that when she was kidnapped she just kept hoping to come back to her land, get married and start a family near her own people. Besides, Ric said he wanted to buy some land and install himself there. Ric says he can’t buy land if he has no money and Cami tells him to use hers. Cami says things could change tomorrow and even if she keeps her money he can’t accept it. He didn’t marry her for money, but for love and he thought she did too. She says she loves him too, but is afraid of running off into an adventure. He tells her love should be unconditional and that it’s like giving wings to your heart (hey, that’s part of the theme song lyrics) knowing that there is someone by your side who you can trust blindly knowing they’d rather die than let you down. He tells her to go see her family and they can talk when she gets back. He exits and she starts crying for being such a coward. He’s giving up everything for her and she’s being stupid.
Back from commercial break, Cleo is helping Fran and Lis pack. Fran complains that she thought they’d stay a little longer now that Lis and Ric struck a deal. Lis doesn’t think so. Cleo asks what will become of her. Cami will probably throw her out and she has a sick uncle and a grandmother who doesn’t even have something to fall dead on (this is a Mexican expression referring to being so poor you don’t even have a bed to die in). Lis assures her it will only be for a few days, and then she can come back with them. Cleo asks where and Lis says she’ll know later. Next Cleo loads the cart and Ric asks Lis what is going on. She tells him they’re off to the Mancera’s and Ric tells her he thought that had changed because of their deal. He asks if she changed her mind. She says they’re still on. He asks if she can give him a few days. She agrees and he tells her he’ll have his men take them to town. Lis looks angry and starts yanking out her doll’s hair.
Cut to Palacio Mancera where Sofía is talking to a local couple who are thanking her for something. The hubby sounds foreign. After they leave, she tells Ursu that since Santi is her brother and the future SSF (Señor de San Fernando), they should go congratulate him on the birth of his daughter. Ursu says why bother, dad’s not going to recognize him. Sofi says he will, don’t you worry about that. As they exit, Fortu notices Gaspar’s carriage. Sofi’s all exited seeing an archbishop. Santi tells Gaspar that Ric has a house in the outskirts of town that’s not too far. Sofi and company run to Gaspar to kiss his hand. Sofi welcomes him and introduces herself as the wife of the local ruler and asks what brings him to SF. He tells her he’s coming back from Mexico City and stopped along the way. She says he must be tired from such a long trip and he says yes. She invites him to the palace for a little rest and refreshment. He says he’d be grateful for it and she starts introducing him to Ursu and Fortu. Augie tells her that Gaspar is there to visit Ric and she says no problem, she’ll just send word to him to come on over. She then congratulates Santi and tells Gaspar that Santi just had his first child, a little girl. Gaspar congratulates him and Sofi invites Santi to join them. Santi says he needs to get back to work but wishes Gaspar a pleasant stay in SF. As they walk to the palace Gaspar comments Santi’s a little strange and Sofi tells him it’s a long story, but Santi’s a bastard of her hubby and the only male. Gaspar asks if Jorge plans to recognize him and she tells him he tried, but Santi said no. He thinks this is quite interesting.
Now Cami and Jim run into Santi and ask about Rita and the baby ‘cause they want to see them. Santi starts walking them over and Jim asks about the carriage. Santi tells them it belongs to an archbishop, Ric’s godfather. Cami finds it interesting.
Back at Chez Ric, MMM asks him if he thinks Lis will keep her word. Ric doesn’t see why not and MMM tells him out of revenge ‘cause she hates Cami. Ric doesn’t want to believe Lis could be evil and MMM tells him that a woman scorned is. Ric says he never promised her anything and MMM tells him it doesn’t matter, it all depends on any fantasies Lis had. He then asks if he told Cami she has to return everything. Ric nods no. Just then, a messenger walks up to the gate and says he has a message for Ric. Pablo asks what the message is and the messenger won’t tell him. Ric gives a little whistle and Pablo lets him in. (I’d find this a little offensive – Pablo is no dog – but whistling orders and other info was common among sailors since it carried through sea noise better than shouting. Total non-sequitor: In theatre, whistling is considered bad luck. That’s because back in the old days sailors, because of their fancy knots; did most of the rigging and they often communicated by whistling out of habit. If you whistled at the wrong time, you could have a piece of scenery land on your head or someone else’s). Anywhoo, the messenger tells him that Don Gaspar is at the palace and he and Sofi are expecting him. He’s muy impactado.
Over by the palace, Mani and her Nana see Lis and Fran in a carriage with all their luggage. Mani runs over to say hi and asks if they’re going on a trip. Fran guides Lis through every step on the stairs, which aggravates Lis. Inside the courtyard, Mani asks why they’re moving to the palace and Fran says things were getting unbearable with Cami. Mani feels bad and Fran says she does too, but it’s impossible to live with people who are so “corriente” (base, common) and ambitious. Lis comments that it’s her fault (Cami’s) that she now has to ask for charity. Mani says she laments it, and that she has a letter from her dad. Lis grabs it and hands it to Fran.
Inside the house, Fortu is all impressed that Gaspar is going to the court in Madrid and then to Rome, she says she’d never met anyone so important. Gaspar humbly replies he’s a mere servant of God. A servant notifies Sofi that the Salamanca’s are in the house and she asks Gaspar to excuse her as there are some women she needs to attend to. He says it’s obvious he’s imposing on them and that they must have other business to attend to. He’ll gladly leave if they tell him how to get to Ric’s. Sofi tells him it’s no bother, and that Ric is probably on his way, she just has to take care of these women, but please sit down. She asks Ursu to join her and tells her to go fetch Lis and Fran, but not to say that they are moving in, but rather just visiting since she’s not quite sure what their beef with Ric is. Ursu’s annoyed mom’s sending her instead of Fortu, but Sofi tells her that Fortu is busy entertaining the archbishop whereas Ursu just stayed all quiet like a mule.
Over at the courtyard, Fran is telling Mani that her dad (Al) is the only one that can help them. It looks like she’s going to tell Mani the whole story, but Ursu interrupts. She aks what Mani’s doing there and she replies she stopped to say hi to Ursu. Ursu tells Lis and Fran that Sofi sent her to tell them to come in through the service door ‘cause mom has an important visitor. Mani protests, but Ursu says it’s ‘cause of the visitor, so they won’t have to make all sorts of presentations, explanations, etc. Lis says fine, and Ursu leads the way and shouts to Mani to come back tomorrow ‘cause they need to talk. Mani tells her Nana they better leave. They are then magically transported to Santi’s foundry and Nana comments that Sofi probably gave no such orders and it was probably all Ursu. She asks what they’re doing there and the twins walk in. Mani asks after Ascanio and they tell her that he went out with Santi a little while ago. They ask if she wants to leave a message and she says no, well, yes, tell him a dropped by to say hello and will drop by later. The twins comment that Ascanio is getting himself into a fine mess.
We now see Ric and MMM riding over to the palace wondering why Gaspar didn’t just go straight to Ric’s. Once they arrive, Mario will take off and snoop in the area. Back at the palace, Ursu says that the women didn’t want to disturb them and the special visitor and went straight to their rooms. Gaspar asks once again how far Ric’s house is. Sofi says it’s not far, but maybe they didn’t find him. A disembodied voice (probably a footman) tells them Ric has just arrived. Gaspar says Finally! Fortu asks if she likes him a lot. He says he cares for all his godchildren, but this one is special. Ric enters and Gaspar comments how he came to the end of the world to visit and he takes forever to arrive. Ric apologizes and Gaspar tells him to hug him and calls him a “bribón” (rascal) while all look very impressed.
Over at Chez Santi, Jim and Cami run down the stairs and tell Ofi how cute the baby is. Jim comments it makes her want to have one. Ofi says the baby looks like Santi and asks Cami how Rita looked. Cami says she looks well and happy. Sofi says she’s just complaining a little bit and that she’s preparing something for the baby ‘cause Rita’s milk hasn’t come down (How long does it take someone to start lactating?) and offers Cami a taste. Cami seems to like it. She asks after Santi and Ofi tells her that he and Ascanio went off to do something and asks if it’s urgent. Cami says yes, and Jim suggests Cami tell Ofi since she’s Santi’s mom and could help. Ofi asks what’s up and we hear the baby crying on cue. Ramona runs down saying the baby’s hungry and Ofi gives her the stuff she made and a rag (I think that’s what people used before they invented baby bottles so babies could suck from the rag). She then asks Cami what’s up. Cami asks if Ofi knows why Santi didn’t want to be recognized by Jorge. She says yes, and Cami tells her that neither she nor Ric want the whole ugly pernada incident to be dragged out again. Besides, she doesn’t think it’s fair that Santi give up what’s his because of her.
We are magically transported back to the streets of San Fernando as Jim tells Cami she doubts Ofi will tell Santi what she said because she doesn’t want him to become a Mancera ‘cause she hates that family. Cami understands, but she doesn’t think it’s fair. Jim tells her everyone has a right to what they believe and that she should stay out of it. Cami says she can’t since it was because of her. Jim tells her it doesn’t matter. It’s their problem, not hers. Cami says she still wishes she could have talked to Santi, but she’s very nervous with Gaspar’s visit. They now find themselves face to face with Gonzo (I think they’re near the tavern) and he greets them and tells Cami how beautiful she looks today. If she hadn’t married the buccaneer, she’d now be his wife. Jim tells him he has no right to talk like that and he says he can speak however he wants because he’s a Montes de Oca and she’s a whore. She tells him his mom is a whore and he tells her no prostitute talks to him that way. He throws Cami aside and Jim tells him not to dare lay a hand on her. He slaps her and she falls to the ground. Cami tries to pull him away and Jim steps in front of him and they start slapping at each other. Other patrons tell Gonzo to knock it off and Vasco hears the commotion and runs over to help and tells him to leave his sister alone. They start to fight and Gonzo gives Vasco a few good punches and knocks the wind out of him, thus proving Vasco really has no useful skills whatsoever (except for sex). Gonzo yells at Vasco “Defend yourself miller’s son” as someone throws him a sword. Vasco says he’s unarmed and Cami yells for someone to call the police. Gonzo tells Vasco that’s his problem. Vasco adjusts his belt and Gonzo slashes at him, which sends him back. He tries again and finds his rapier blocked by Mario’s short sword and dagger (sailors like their weapons short ‘cause there isn’t much room on a boat). Mario binds Gonzo’s rapier into a corps a corps (French fencing term meaning body to body) and says his signature “calmadito tiburoncito” and tells him he warned him that he really wanted to take him on and he’s given him a wonderful opportunity. We get a nice look at Mario’s sexy scars. Gonzo tells him to take it as there’s no time like the present. They fight and Mario spins in sexy Errol Flynn fashion as he attacks and avoids. Alas, our MMM gets his dagger caught on a table and then Gonzo slices off a piece of his sword (something that was already disproved on Mythbusters, but is still good drama) and they continue the fight. Gonzo disarms Mario who first points at his chest (‘cause he’s the man!) and then takes off his vest. He swings it at some of Gonzo’s attacks and someone yells at him to throw it at Gonzo (I seconded that as I was hoping for a cloak-style fight) but he instead throws it at a nearby lady and jumps onto a table and jumps to avoid a couple of swipes at his feet from Gonzo. He then jumps unto a window-type opening which he uses to step on Gonzo’s sword, swing around to avoid the same sword, throws a potted plant at Gonzo and finally swings to kick in the face with both feet. Gonzo doesn’t like the sight of his own blood and tries to cut Mario’s head in half, Mario catches the sword arm with both hands and they look at each other menacingly. Gonzo head buts our MMM and he stumbles onto a table. Gonzo runs at him sword first and Mario turns to face him. We see a sword has run through someone, but it takes a minute to see that it was indeed Mario’s dagger that went into Gonzo’s side. Gonzo falls as Mario holds up his dagger with a mixture of elation and disgust. Our heroines look on appreciatively (esp. Jim who’s a little turned on). The police finally arrive.
Ric and Gaspar have moved on to Ric’s place and discuss that Al and Jorge are the obvious culprits, but Ric has no proof. He sent Gaspar a letter a few days ago telling him about it. Gaspar remarks that letters takes longer than people. Ric then tells Gaspar about how they stole his money, but he also has no proof of that.
We now see Santi and Ascanio rolling what must be a broken wheel promising the people on the carriage they’ll bring it right back. Santi tells Ascanio he would never have imagined Ric was the godson of an Archbishop. Did you know? Ascanio says no. Santi says it’s obvious Gaspar cares for Ric, so he must not be a bad person after all (Santi hasn’t gotten the memo about corrupt church officials, probably ‘cause both his local priest and the ones at Monte Carmelo are good and honest – luckily so are Ric and his padrino). Ascanio tells him once more that Ric is not a bad person; it’s just that life sometimes puts us through difficult times. Santi asks if Ascanio has had them and Ascanio says: “Havent’s you?” They agree they both have as they arrive at the foundry. Santi tells Pancho they’re fixing the wheel and that their cart will be ready the day after tomorrow. They will then send Ascanio to get some orders for their lamps. Pancho asks Ascanio how many he thinks he can sell in a week? Ascanio says at least 40. Santi says they will make more dough and Luis (I think that’s the name of twin number 2) says they sure can use it. Ascanio says he can too. Santi says maybe he’ll eventually get good enough to sell 70 per week, and Ascanio says maybe they’ll get good enough to Build 70 per week. They all chuckle and Santi asks if there is any news. Pancho tells him that Don Darío wants some new doorknobs and Don Carmelo wants them to shoe his animals. Luis says to Ascanio that Doña Manuela stopped by. Santi asks if she needed some service and he says no, she just sent her greetings. Santi walks away all pensive and Ascanio asks Luis why he said it like that. He says he told nothing but the truth. Ascanio asks the twins if they don’t understand that the only one they are harming is Mani. They look at each other and shrug.
Over by the house, neighbors congratulate Santi and he comes to his mom and asks about the baby. Ofi says she and Rita are doing well and she hopes Rita can lactate tomorrow. He tells her that they got a cart and that they will start the new lamp business in a few days. She says she’s very happy and Santi goes to see his wife and kid. Ofi looks pensive, probably trying to decide whether or not to tell him about Cami’s visit.
Jim and Cami arrive at their house in a cart and Esteban greets them and asks after the baby. Cami tells him she’s well and asks if Ric has a visitor. Esteban confirms it and says it’s an archbishop. In the courtyard, Cami tells Jim that she will talk to them. Jim is worried about her MMM and Cami tells her that he had no choice, Gonzo was going to kill Vasco and totally roughed up Jim’s face. Jim says yes, but Gonzo was an important man. In the study, Gaspar asks Ric what last name he used for the marriage. Ric says “Lopez de Carvajal” and Gaspar remarks that they aren’t really married then. Ric says circumstances forced them and Gaspar says no, that’s terrible. Does she know? Ric says she knew later and Gaspar says that’s even worse! Ric says that’s why he wants to obtain a pardon from the crown, because he loves her. Gaspar explains that’s no small feat. Luckily the Bermejo think was settled and he’ll give him the papers on that soon. Ric asks if Fran was mentioned and Gaspar says no, ‘cause you asked. Cami walks in and asks if she can interrupt. Ric introduces her and Gaspar says it’s a pleasure to meet her and she kisses his hand and tells him it’s an honor to meet him. Gaspar says “so you’re the woman of this “tunante” (crook, rogue, rapscallion, scallywag) because you’re not his wife. He tells her Ric told her the story. Cami looks devastated and Gaspar tells her there’s no need for such a face. Then to Ric that they simply shouldn’t have done it! Ric reiterates that it was necessary. Also, he knows that God doesn’t unite last names. Gaspar says yes, but we must respect the laws of men. Give unto Caesar what is Caesar’s and unto God what is God’s. But well, they’ll see what they can do. If he’d known when Ric’s dad asked him to be godfather what kind of godson he would turn out to be, he would have turned him down. Ric says Gaspar knows better that anyone that he didn’t choose that life. Gaspar says yes, fine. Then smiling to Cami, well child, independently of what this man decides to do, we must agree that he’s a good man. He’s had tragedy in his life, but there’s still hope for redemption. Cami apologizes for interrupting the talk, but Mario killed Gonzo. Ric asks why and she tells him it was legitimate defense, but since Gonzo is an important man, the police took him. Ric looks impactado and Gaspar looks concerned.
Tomorrow: Cami finds out Al has the letter. Ric tells her Al and Lis are engaged, and if she lied about that, she probably lied about other stuff. Cami asks if he means the arrangement, and he says yes, so she needs to run away at dawn. She asks if she’s to go alone and he says she will go with Jim and with his men. She asks why he can’t come with her, and where is she to go?
- Gaspar tells Ric that he’s on the edge of a sword and he’s not God to protect him.
- Ric tells Cami the only thing that matters is that she is safe.

Al Diablo Con Los Guapos #32, Wednesday 3-5: The fake baby scam is so cliché
Padre Manuel and Mili have a convoluted conversation about who Mili has or hasn't done what with. Mili tells him nothing's happened with anyone, but she wants him to marry her to someone. PM assumes that she's gone all the way and is expecting. Mili clarifies again that no, no one scored a goal before the game and that she's getting married because she's in luuuuuuurve. This chills PM out, but she never did tell him who she's marrying. That would have likely sent him into shock.
Damian worries about where he'll get the money. Constancio won't help him after the fake-kid drama, he'd rather see Damian dead. He decides he'll disappear for a while and buy himself time. He goes into the living room and sees Luciana, on her way to rehab. Luciana refuses to give him any more money. Constancio and Valeria come in and Luciana announces she's going to rehab--she needs time to think and relax and she doesn't want to hang out with the other rich hags at the spa. Constancio tells her he's going to miss her, but she's not buying that. Neither is Alejandro, who grabs the bag in one hand and Mami in the other to get her out of the house. Constancio finally notices Damian and that Damian's looking a little pale. Exit all.
Enter an older woman looking for Regina. She refuses to tell Braulio who she is or what she's there for. Braulio goes off in a snit.
Constancio comes into Andrea's bedroom to announce that tonight's their night. Andrea's like "cool, cause I want you." Constancio pathetically growls that he wants her more. Etc. Etc. Andrea tries to get a better job out of him, but he says they'll talk about it tonight. The growling and meowing was a little traumatizing for me.
Braulio escorts Regina's visitor into her room. He tries to stick around and spy, but gets dismissed. Regina's visitor says she thinks Braulio is upset at not being given her name. Mystery Woman II is somehow looking after a man who hasn't talked for 10 years and yesterday screamed "no, no, no." Regina thinks she knows the man and says she loves his son. She's been paying for this guy's care for years, apparently. Oh, this would be Alejandro's dad, then. Regina wonders if seeing "the woman he loved" would help, but MWII doesn't know.
Damian invites Karla to come hide out with him at the house in Cuernavaca. Karla is won over by the idea of playing rich for a while. Damian doesn't want her telling anyone where they're going, or that they're going.
Regina and Braulio talk about Luciana going to rehab. Then they spar about sparring with words and about how Regina won't tell Braulio what's going on. He goes off in a snit, which amuses Regina to no end.
Constancio pathetically sprays himself with cologne and possibly gets some in his eyes. Andrea's finally come to visit--she was waiting for Alejandro to leave so he wouldn't catch them. She claims she's still Alejandro's girlfriend. Amid gross smooching, Constancio tells her she's the new head of HR. Andrea goes off to put on something sexy. Constancio tells her to hurry…the Viagra may not last that long.
Karla gets into Damian's car and the two of them head out to Cuernavaca…with a tail, of course, because Damian's too stupid to have thought of that.
Mili brings coffee up to Andrea's room, saying not to worry, there's no poison in it. Andrea asks for a word and Mili tells her to hurry up, she and Lina are watching "The Silver Mask vs. The Vampire Women" and Andrea looks like one of the vampire women. Heh. Andrea says she's lost and she concedes her defeat to Mili. As Mili's leaving the room, Andrea says she hopes Mili can be happy knowing she's leaving a baby without a father. Bee-yotch! Mili doubts it at first. Andrea plays noble, saying she's going away to disappear from their lives and try to be happy with her baby. Oh, and don't tell Alejandro she's having a baby, 'k? And now she's got to rest because there are some problems with the hellspawn and the doctor told her to rest and take lots of sulfur supplements. Once Mili leaves, Andrea wipes the fake tears away and tells the absent Constancio that they've got to get with the baby-making.
Alejandro and Bobby are playing tennis. Alejandro tells Bobby that he's with Mili now and he's going to announce to the family tomorrow that they're getting married. Alejandro advises Bobby to get with the program if he wants to end up with Valeria. Alejandro says Bobby's moving too slow, he needs to step things up with the detalles. Bobby's going to start with flowers tomorrow. The guys joke about "lucky at the game, unlucky in love."
Ewww, grossness. Andrea comes into Constancio's room in her lingerie. She climbs into bed with him as they engage in some really lame wordplay.
Downstairs, Luciana is arriving. Braulio, doing his best Jim Carey in The Mask imitation, enters in his jammies, robe, and avocado face mask. Luciana didn't like rehab so much--no other rich people to hang out with, so she left. Braulio tells her that Constancio's in bed already. He asks if she'd like some food, which she would. He walks off with his dignity and his face mask intact, but starts wiping it off as soon as he gets far enough away.
Socorro is in the kitchen, asking Lina where Karla is--Lina doesn't know. Mili comes in and Socorro asks her as well--she doesn't know either. Braulio comes in and tells Socorro to fix something to eat for Luciana.
Karla and Damian are still on the road. Karla wants to know if there are servants at the house in Cuernavaca, because she needs to abuse them before she can feel better about herself. They're still being tailed…on some small road in the middle of nowhere…oh, no, that's not suspicious at all.
Luciana walks in on Constancio and Andrea. She puts her suitcase in the closet, walks back to the door, says "sorry," turns out the lights, and leaves. I was really expecting fireworks, but this is so much better. Constancio and Andrea are both sitting up in bed with their mouths hanging open wondering qué the hell just happened.
Socorro fixes Braulio a tea for his stomach. It's diuretic and he'll pee 8-10 times a night. Gee, Socorro, you really know how to sell it. Braulio talks about how he started working there 20 years ago, as a chauffer. Then his little sister came to live there because both their parents were dead. He had to be Rosario's father and mother…did this come complete with wardrobe changes? He was destroyed when she left. Socorro asks if he never thought about getting married and having his own family. If it weren't Socorro, that would have sounded like a come-on. He says he was in love once, but then he excuses himself and leaves.
Braulio catches Luciana drinking in the living room. She tells him she's going to lose her husband to Andrea. She can't compete with Andrea's body, her youth, her skankiness. Braulio tells her she's got experience and class, plus she's real purdy. Luciana says she can't compete and Braulio says if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Ewww, is he suggesting a threesome? Andrea comes downstairs in her robe asking to talk to Luciana. As Mr. 5ft exclaimed, "She's got quite a pair of cojones!" Luciana says rehab was horrible and she's tired and wants to go to bed now. Andrea is dumbfounded. She asks if Luciana said anything to Braulio and he avoids the question.
Mili lies in bed looking at the picture of her mother and crying.
Constancio sits up in bed and asks Luciana if she wants to talk. Luciana says they'll talk tomorrow, she just didn't feel like staying in rehab. She asks him to close the lid on her jar of face cream. After he does, she asks if he's sleepy. Then she jumps him. Yeah, he's just as surprised.
Damian and Karla finally arrive. Karla is needlessly rude to the maid who comes out to get their bags, "Here, be careful with this, don't be clumsy." Then when they get inside and the other maid asks if they'd like something to eat she says, "Of course, something sumptuous, and make it fast, we're starving." Damian tells the maids no one can know they're there. He tells Karla that goes for her too. Karla plops down on the couch with her feet up and calls herself the boss lady.
The next morning, Braulio is summoned by Regina. She wants a taxi. Braulio's still crabby that she won't tell him anything. He mentions that his hair doesn't move because he wears a hairnet at night. Regina thinks he's kidding, but then she's never seen the horror.
Mili's sad-faced and won't tell Lina why. Mili says she's going to the convent today since Regina didn't need her. Mili and Lina have to break the news to Socorro that Karla didn't sleep in her bed last night.
Karla and Damian mack by the pool in Cuernavaca. It's a nice pool. Got a waterfall and everything. Karla is disappointed that Damian dismissed the servants for the day, so now she's got to get him a refill on his drink. Once she gets inside the house, she's attacked by three guys with guns, one of whom is Julio.
Constancio and Andrea are in the office, eating lunch and trying to figure out what is up with Luciana. Andrea's afraid she'll tell Alejandro since she's still trying to get him back. Constancio doesn't think she'll tell since she'd never hurt her baby like that. Andrea's really freaked out about Luciana's behavior. She asks what happened after. Constancio says that Luciana "practically forced" him to have sex.
Regina walks into the Neuropsychiatric Institute. She's startled in the hallway by the woman from yesterday. The woman tells Regina that "he" talked, but more this time. He keeps repeating the name "Constancio." Regina asks to see him. The woman doesn't think it's time yet, but Regina insists on the grounds that she's been paying for his care all these years. She calls the woman "Sra. Directora."
Lina and Mili go to the convent and Lina and Gloria now drag the info out of Mili. She says Alejandro's having a baby. The girls are ecstatic. Lina says the Guapito's going to have a Guapitito (so, Little Pretty Boy's going to have a little Little Pretty Boy.) Mili breaks it to them that she's not the mommy, it's Andrea. Now they're shocked. Lina asks if it's not a trick of Andrea's. Mili says she was going to fight for their luuuuuurve, but she can't fight against a baby. Argh!
Julio shuts off Damian's boom box (yeah, right, like he listens to rap), points a gun in his face, and tells him to get up. It's a nice day to die. He seems pretty serious--I don't know how Damian's going to get out of this one.
The French Patient is in a white padded cell, wearing a white nightgown. Sra. Directora calls him "Francois." He recognizes Regina. He starts yelling "death to Constancio," and has to be sedated.
Tomorrow: All I know is Rorgan intercepts the flowers for Valeria and gives them to Socorro. My DVR shut off after that.

La Traicion - March 5, Fire in the Hole!
The interplay between Hugo and Alcides in the mine was great. I don't remember when Hugo found out that Soledad was pregnant. Maybe it's on an episode last week that I haven't watched yet. (I'm only up to Wed.)
I can't figure out where we go from here. Surely, Hugo doesn't believe that Soledad betrayed him now. Maybe Dr. Max is going to make her forget about Hugo. Can't wait for tomorrow!!

Juan Q - 3-5-08
Juanito wants to talk to Pa about something important. Pillin. Jito wants to go back with the ladies, he misses his classes, but Juan knows he wants to follow his crush. He wants to know though if he gets sad while he's gone what will he do. Juan says he'll be back soon.
Chelo tells CL of Pau's grub strike. They wonder why she's so sad. Chelo tells CL she got a call and ever since been locked in the room.
Kike and Juan chat on the phone about the girls wanting to return to Achi.
Moni tells of her sexy lunch date and Teri tells of the call from her ex.
CL is asking Pau how she's doing, she's not in the mood for anything, and culpates Chelo for driving her nuts. CL says maybe she'd like to go back to work. Pau says she doesn't want to be near that harpy Moni. On cue, harpy calls and gets blasted by CL for playing hokey from work. She yells back and hangs up. Cl fakes that it was Pastor who took off all afternoon.
Kike gets a call from maestra troublemaker who tells his Senor Cornudo to watch out for what his trampahuila (trickster) wife is doing at the U. She calls him Senor Cornudo (deceived).

Yadi worries because she has the bebe. Perafan says she's having a wild time (dar vuelo al hilacha) with the keeper of that dime store in the center.
Pastor makes Anga soup like the doctor ordered, Anga complains that it's been so long since he's had such bad tasting soup (caldo desabrido). Yadi calls Anga to find out where her ma went. He says she was there, but now is gone. Both agree to call each other if they get news. Pastor wonders if that woman is missing again. He thinks she doesn't think with her head and he needs to have patience. Anga says there's no room for her in his life any more.
Nid is drunkly whining at Ana's. The baby is sleeping a long time for sure. Nid continues how she's losing everything and how sad she is, and how much it hurts. Ana keeps trying to get her to stop drinking. Nid begs Ana to ignore the phone. She agrees if Nid stops drinking and takes some coffee. Nid has now reached self pity stage. She says she's a disgrave and a bad mother, she cries about Yadi chasing Profe, and sings the praises of Mar, and her rico novio.
Fer is telling Kike he doesn't want to lead the bachelor life anymore, he found the one to spend his life with; he proposed to Marely. Kike is out to lunch surely thinking about the phone call. He finally tunes in and says he's not sure if he should congratulate or give condolences at the news of marrying a Cachon. Fer wonders que the heck is wrong with him. He says he thinks that Yadi might be "haciendo de chivo los tamales" (pulling a fast one on him-making tamales from goat).
Mar and Yadi hear no answer from Ana's and get more nervous about their mom.
CL in bed with Pau reaches over to caress her and gets the super frio shoulder, "Don't touch me" she says. Ouch.
CL says fine, but she doesn't have to react that way. She just says sometimes she doesn't want it, want him even looking at her. He things thinks this is too much. She apologizes and pulls the old it's not you, it's me. She asks him to be patient. He plays chivalrous and says he'll play her way.

Marga Loca calls Yadi this time. She tells her she's going to save her what the other girls after her hubby went through. Yadi says nothing is between them. ML says but you like him. Yadi says she admires him but nothing else. Marga insults her telling her she's socially lacking, etc. Yadi wonders why she cares. She says because it's her husband. Yadi tells her what is she going to do, ruin all her exams? ML tells her what she can do is nothing compared to what Topete could do.
Fer and Kike chat about Yadi and Kike says how much esteem she holds for him, more than the Hijo de Jaliman? I did not get this one, but then he says klook what happened to Juan, it was right there and then gone.
Borracha Nid shows up at home. Everyone tells her she is shamed for such behavior. They appreciate Ana brought her. Nid begs Ana to stay. She tells her to rest. Nid says she'll rest when she dies, but she wants to live eveything now. Perafan tells her She says she hears a voice from the ultratomb, she Gusano Mescalero.

He tells himself he can't believe what this kid is on to.
He tells an animated story of Adam and Eve and how Adam was lonely so God made a woman to keep him company. That's when all the men's problems started. He says because GOd made the woman to just work her way right into the chest of a man.
Yadi tells Mar about the call from Profa Loca. Mar advises her to heed her and just leave well enough alone. Yadi proclaims that Loca doesn't know who she's messing with, and she's not going to just let her walk all over her.
The next day...Nid swaers to never drink again. Yeah right. Mar plays Mom and tells her she did it with the kid and that's bad, etc. encuere Nid tries to look for excuses but Mar says nope, and you might have the symptoms of alchoholism. Nid tells that she can stop whenever she wants. Mar says oh yeah, well then quit. She says fine just to prove it, she won't drink anymore.
Yadi, and Kike have their first meeting since the calls. She wonders where he was last night. He says out. Mar tells them the good news that Nid agreed to stop drinking. Pintando el cuerno con una

Juan calls for Kike and Mar answers. She tells him he says to himself that he can't believe how he couldn't fall in love with her she's the ideal woman.
CL and Moni. Moni says she won't talk to him unless he's calm. He calms and asks her to take a seat. Moni wonders what's up his butt. Could it be because she had dinner with Gustavo etc.?
Juan goes to see His Palomita one last time. On the way he sees a couple with their baby and wonders why he is doing this, maybe he's stupid.
Moni tells Cl it shouldn't be his problem what she does, he says it's not his problem, but if it interferes with her work, then it is a problem. She says what if I told you that I was working with him, he's going to promote the new products. CL says over my dead body.
Juan is outside of Pau's building. He's wondering if he should go up.
Kike goes to the U and asks Topete who is sitting with his wife if he will come to chat with him.
Pau gets a "feeling" and runs to the window. She looks out and sees Juan, of course he's huge, and runs down to go and see him. We see him walking away and her slowly catching up to him, and cut. We'll have to wait.
