Friday 10/17 QE. Honey, you need more than garlic and pepper to put flavor in Alonslow
Hi everybody!. The recap is now finished, and I want to thank Margarita Chilaquiles for her contribution. Since I wasn't feeling well I took the liberty of copying some of her recap and just adding a little more (What I copied from her is in blue). Thank you everybody for your patience and understanding.
Ernesto berates himself when he sees Lorena with Alonslow. Alonslow is very patient with Lorena and she thanks him for helping her to learn to drive.
Jaime tells Maruja that he told his mother that they are getting married and she doesn’t mind. Maruja can’t believe it. Jaime tells her that she even offered her house for the reception. Maruja thinks is a great idea, but Rosi is not happy. She says she doesn’t like the witch’s house and besides; have they forgotten about their guests? What are Zulema and Lorena going to say? Jaime reminds her that they forgave him and now they are all a big happy family. Zuleama says that she is going to float the idea by Zulema and see what she says. Rosi is offended that her opinion doesn’t count.
Sara calls Ickturo and tells him that Jacky threaten her to tell about the embezzlement. She yells at him and tells him that if she falls, he falls. She hangs the phone and tells to herself that she would love to disappear, but she has to get her revenge before leaving.
Lorena and Alonslow arrive at Alonslow’s house and Lorena offers to cook. ALonslow tells her that he doesn’t think he has all the ingredients. She tells him that she will send him to the store if she needs something. Alonslow accepts and Lorena goes into the kitchen.
Diana is talking to Zulema about Ernesto, she knows that he loves Lorena, and feels bad that Lorena can’t see it. Zulema tells her that it is Ernesto’s fault because he is a womanizer. Diana philosophies about men and their cheating ways, but then she reminds herself that there are good men like… Omar (if only you knew) Zulema agrees.
Lorena checks the kitchen and tells him that she will able to cook something. She remembers Ernesto and how they cooked together in Ernesto’s house. ALonslow notices that she is pensive and asks her if she needs something. She tells him that she needs pepper and garlic. He says he’ll go get it. Toribio shows up and tells her he was following his nose, he is very happy that she is there. He also tells her that always liked her for his son. Lorena asks if there have been many girls. He says no, he is not a womanizer.
(Part 2)--------------------------------
Ernesto talks to Jimenea. He tells her that he is not in the mood to go to the party with his coworkers because he saw Lorena with Alonslow. Jimena tells him that he can’t be moping all the time he needs to go out. She won’t take no for an answer, she hangs up.
Zulema notices that Omar’s shirt smells of woman perfume and makeup. She is now certain that Omar has another woman.
Speaking of the devil Greta comes into Omar’s office. Omar is worried about their relationship, he wants to define what is happening between them, but Greta tells him that he shouldn’t think. He should just feel.
Tiberio is very happy about Lorena’s cooking he is eager to taste “alta cocina” high cousine. The phone rings and is Clara asking Toribio why hasn’t he shown up for Tai Chi.
Magdalena comes to look for Jaqueline. Catalina opens the door and is rude to her. Jacky apologizes to Magdalena. She tells her that she came to thank her for Ickturo’s donation. Jacky tells her that it was dirty money, but Magdalena seems no to mind. She tells her that the money gets purify once it is dedicated to the divine light. Jacky tells Magdalena about Sara and the money she stole from Hortensia. Magdalena tells her to bring her by her house to help her see the light.
Toribio tells Clara that he is getting very flexible he can reach his feet…with his ears. Clara laughs at his joke and asks him to come to the class. She suspects that Catalina is not letting him come, when she asks him he changes the conversation.
Maruja asks Zulema if she would be willing to go to the wedding if it was celebrated at Hortensia’s. Zulema says that she doesn’t mind. Maruja doesn’t believe her because she looks moody. Zulema tells her that she is upset because of Omar and the shirt.
The phone rings again at Alonslow’s, this time is Hortensia looking for Lorena. She asks her to come as soon as possible.
Later Lorena arrives at Hortensia’s. She asked her to come because she wanted to know if Lorena is willing to testify against Sara. Lore says yes. Hortensia shows Lorena some jewels and tells her that she is giving them to her as her inheritance. Lorena doesn’t want to take them, and tells her that she doesn’t need them. All she wants from her is her love as her grandmother not her mother. She thanks her and leaves.
Maruja calls Paula and Greta into an emergency meeting and tells them that Zulema is almost sure that Omar has a lover. Maruja then tells Greta that that’s why she asked her to come. Big impactada face from Greta. Maruja then clarifies that all she wants is for Greta to check on Omar and find out who is the other woman (Talk about asking the fox to guard the hen house). Greta is very relieved that they don’t suspect her, and tells them that Omar is a Saint, he is only dedicated to his work; but Paula and Maruja believe that there is another woman and he sees her at work. Greta is nervous again.
Alonslow calls Lorena, and she tells him about Hortensia’s gift. Of course Alonslow is repeating aloud what Lorena is telling him. She tells him about Sara and how they are going to accuse her of trying to kill Hortensia. Bruto overhears and thinks that he has to let Sara know. Alonslow then changes the conversation and invites Lorena to dance (yes we know that they’ll go to the only club in the whole Mexico city and guess who else will be there)
Betina tells Ivan that they need to win the contest. She is already planning how to spend her money; she wants to buy her mother a trip to Thailand. Ivan tells her that he has a vague idea on what to do with his part.
Next we see that Lorena and Alonslow are dancing and Rosi and Julian are seating. Rosi is still upset because she doesn’t want the wedding at Hortensia’s house. They argue a little more. The camera pans out to the back and we see that Ernesto is just arriving with Jimena.
Bruto arrives to Sara’s hotel. She is upset and wants to know what he heard. He tells her that she (Sara) is being investigated. Sara says that nobody has any proof of what she did, but then she remembers about Jacky. Bruto asks her if there is something wrong. Sara snaps at him. Bruto gets upset and manhandles her, but Sara is not Diana and she tells him so and slaps him. This seems to calm him down because he just turns around and settles on the bed. Sara is surprised and asks him what he is doing. He tells her he is spending the night there.
Ernesto sees Lorena with Alonso and wants to leave at once, but Jimena tells him not to let her bother him. She wants to dance, but Ernensto is uncomfortable. Rosi sees Ernesto. He tells her it's not what she thinks and she says what she thinks doesn't matter and Lore doesn’t care 'cause she's happy and back with 'Slow. Ouch.
Bruto and Diana go to finalize the divorce and Vasco tags along. Bruto agrees to give her sole custody of the kid and says he never forgave her for getting pregnant on purpose ('cause his lack of a condom had nothing to do with it....) she tells him he's scum...you get the point. They agree they never want to see each other again.
Jacky talks to brother Efrain. She tells him that she can’t find somebody that she has been looking for. Brother Efrain tells her that maybe she is not meant to find this person. Jacky thinks that he is very wise and get very excited because he tells her that he’ll give her some of his knowledge. He also gets very excited but in a different way. He tells her to close her eyes; he is going to transfer some of his light. He moves his hands over her and Jacky feels chills, she says that she is feeling something so different so spiritual. Brother Efrain tells her that he is also feeling it. He kisses her and they end up in bed.
Ickturo and Sara meet and he talks her into laundering her portion of the loot by passing it to his account for a fee. She agrees and they do the transfer electronically and she closes her account. They then go to the bank together where he gets all the cash while Sara waits outside. He goes back outside and hails a cab. Sara tries to get in with him and he shoves her out. Then he goes back home and tells mom to come away with him, they have to pack ASAP.
Maruja tells Zulema that Greta hasn’t seen anything out of the ordinary and that she will keep an eye on him. Zulema is a little relieved.
Alonslow arrives to Lorena’s house; he came to talk to Zulema about the bariatric operation.
Ernesto tells Jimena that all he wants is for Lorena to be happy even if it sounds “cursi” corny. Jimena states the obvio, Ernesto really loves Lorena.
Sara tells Bruto she was just scammed out of millions. He's visibly impactado since she told him she was flat broke.
Ernesto berates himself when he sees Lorena with Alonslow. Alonslow is very patient with Lorena and she thanks him for helping her to learn to drive.
Jaime tells Maruja that he told his mother that they are getting married and she doesn’t mind. Maruja can’t believe it. Jaime tells her that she even offered her house for the reception.

Fuego en la Sangre, 10/17/08: Fits, Snits and Crabi In the Pit Or, Where’s That White Rabbit and Those Funny Mushrooms When You Need Them?
[After watching this particular episodio, Hubby and I looked at each other and wondered what this one was supposed to be about. We remembered one of the Seinfeld episodes where George expressed the essence of the show so descriptively, “It’s about nothing.” Our apologies to Sr. Mejia regarding this capítulo, but….. So, for those of you who slept through it, and for those of you who wish you had, here we go.]
Feo is determined to get even with Gabi for even daring to question his (foolish and dishonorable) business decisions concerning the hacienda and his breaching of that sales contract they had with the local buyer. Rosendo has just said that water on their property is getting scarce now that the Robles-Reyes’ have full access and control of the Ojo de Agua springs. Feo suddenly has an idea of how to make Gabi pay and to get her out of the way permanently. He orders Rosendo to have the workers work around the clock to dig a well behind the hacienda. The men question how he knows that there could be water found there, but Feo shuts them up with one of his signature frenetic yell-fests and intimidation. Augie sneaks a peek through his Wonderland periscope and questions the odd night-time activities when he sees the men with their wheel barrow and shovels moving through the dark in the back field.
In the rain forest the next day, Juan finds Skinny Bones (ol’ Apolinar) trying to force a village girl to give him a roll in the hay and threatening to burn her parents’ fields down if she doesn’t. Juan takes a pole after him and warns him off her. As flashbacks of Mighty Mouse cartoons invade my brain, he warns Apolinar that if he tries this with anybody again he’ll see the creep is thrown out of the settlement. Not to be undone, the old perv grumbles to himself that if Juan tries that he’ll burn down his hut.
In the meantime, back at Hacienda de las Elizondo y del Escandon, Sofia comes rushing down the stairs spewing threats at her ex. She blasts Fernando with both barrels and warns him that she knows he attacked Rosario and if he dares try it again she’ll go herself to the police and file a report. He says if she does, then Rosario has more to lose than he does. Sofia barges ahead and warns him that she won’t put up with him trying to take advantage of her mother either. After a sickening description of his uber-passionate sexual relationship with her ma, Feo threatens to see that she and her sisters are thrown out of the hacienda if she doesn’t back off. She says he doesn’t frighten her and if it’s war he wants then it’s a war he gets and then storms out with her pride intact. (Yessss!) Feo grumbles to himself that they’ll just see who gets the last laugh.
It’s time for a bit of comic relief, I guess, so over at the Double R (Hacienda de los Robles-Reyes), Pablito explains to Quintina that he got in trouble at school for fighting because one of the kids was calling Juan a criminal for kidnapping Sofia’s baby. Her answer is to take him to the plaza and stand on the fountain screaming various things through a bullhorn in Juan’s defense.
We are shunted again to the jungle where Dra. Leonora Luscious-Lips is listening to Juan complain that somebody needs to do something to stop Apolinar from harassing all the women and girls in the settlement. She says people are just too scared to dare to cross him.
Back in Cd. Serdán, Sofia has gone to the sheriff to complain that he’s not doing enough to find her daughter. He says he’s sent out wanted posters to all the neighboring states and towns, but there still is no answer. Nobody’s seen or heard from Juan and nothing has come in about any sightings of her little girl. The sheriff suggests it may be time to consider that Juan might be dead or that perhaps somebody else carried off the little girl. Of course Sofia cannot imagine who, what, or why so this is not an option. She has a fit and denies that it’s even remotely possible.
Meanwhile, Feo pays a visit to our favorite corrupt physician, Dr. Matasanos, and bribes him at knife point to insure that when Gabi, who is due to suffer a nervous breakdown very soon arrives, he is to care for her but not to cure her.
Matasanos doesn’t disappoint. He counts his money as we fade to the next scene where Juan is inciting the people of the settlement to take action against Apolinar. He wants them to throw Skinny Bones out of the settlement before another one of their innocents is abused.
Apolinar, meanwhile, is one step ahead of Juan (not that that is so difficult to imagine). He gets some of his henchmen in the village to help him set a snare along the path Juan takes to the river. (Question 1: How many people use that trail to the river? Question 2: How does Skinny Bones know that Juan will be the only fool falling into that contraption? Question 3: Why is this telenovela written so crummy that we need to ask questions 1 and 2?)
Back at the Double E (Hacienda de las Elizondo y del Escandon), Feo figures the pit is deep enough and tells the men to stop digging. The men ask why since they still haven’t found water there yet. Feo has a fit of his own and chases them off, warning them not to come near it again until he tells them they can.
At the Double R, Capricho races off from the open corral apparently to go looking for Juan again as, unsurprisingly, he is instinctively brighter than the humans in this story and somehow realizes that Juan is in danger.
In town at Knickknacks R Us, Damian tells Sofia about Oscar and Franco’s visit complaining about the wanted posters he had put out. He also tells her that they asked about his intentions towards her and that he told them the truth: he is head over heels for her. He practically begs Sofia for a chance to show her he can make her happy if she’d only let him. Damian moves in for The Kiss… but we have a commercial.
After Uni pays its bills, Sofia breaks the spell and tells Damian that she cannot give him what he’s looking for and that she doesn’t want to hurt or mislead him. She doesn’t feel the same way he does and the only thing they really have in common is the painful loss of their children. (Ouch!) Sofia tells him that she has no interest in anybody or anything else, not even him. (Double ouch! I think it’s called deep depression and while Damian has had time to “move on” she has not.) Damian is put out and frustrated so he leaves.
At the same time, the principal/teacher of the school sends for Oscar and Franco. While waiting for the teacher to meet with them Oscar tells Franco how he overheard Sarita telling Jimena that she still loves Franco and though, at times, still wants to really hate him, she can’t. Franco is in seventh heaven. Oscar also confirms that nobody at the hacienda but him knows that Jimena has regained her senses. He warns Franco to be careful not to go around telling people this, either.
When the teacher finally arrives he informs Franco and Oscar that the school has expelled Pablito since he beat up a classmate. Oscar and Franco are elated that the little guy actually showed a bit of masculine spunk and laugh about boys being boys, but the teacher gives them (and us) a PSA about fighting not being the way to solve an argument, aka non-violent conflict resolution, i.e, “brains over brawn” (which is not always applicable when the result might well be the duping of the well-meaning into being led to the slaughter, but that is for another discussion).

===============
Damian returns home and takes out his frustrations with Sofia in the corral while training his horse.
Franco goes to Knickknacks R Us looking for Sarita but finds Eva instead and he asks her to do him a big favor, but only if she can avoid getting caught by Crabi.
Speaking of Crabi, she’s in her rose garden remembering El Coyote’s visit and his offer of assistance. (Sorry, but Coyote needs his head examined if he really is hot for this old broad who has to be at least 3 decades his senior.) Gabriela thinks to herself that it is always better to have two friends that might be able to help her in difficult and special circumstances. Some of the workmen come by to tell her that because they’ll be replacing some floor tiles at the front door she’ll have to use the rear door to go in and out of the main house for a while. As the men walk off, one of them says to the other that perhaps they should have mentioned the pit they dug in the back, but the other says nothing happens around there that she doesn’t know about or authorize first. (Guess that means Crabi is in for one hell of a big surprise soon.)
Upstairs in Sarita’s room Eva lays out the dress that Franco promised to buy for Sarita. She sees Bernardo’s hat and looks longingly at his photograph on the bed table. A bit later she visits his niche in the family mausoleum and cries. She asks his forgiveness for having allowed the Reyes’ in to carry out their vengeance against his daughters. She tells him it was her way of getting even with Gabi for taking away her daughter. Gabi just happens to show up at that very moment and she delights in tormenting Eva by sneering about it being too bad it went against Eva the way it did and that nobody gets the upper hand with the likes of Gabriela. Eva says it wasn’t really because Sofia has forgiven her.
Gabi mocks the both of them and says Sofia and Eva are both doomed to wander as long-suffering fools searching for their daughters but never being able to find them. That’s their punishment for daring to cross her. “Did you hear me?” Gabi asks Eva for emphasis. Eva asks Gabi then what her punishment will be for all the evil she’s done. “Dying alone, perhaps? Dying alone, pondering over your resentments and your hate, and needing help without anyone being able to give you any. Nobody! Did you hear me?”
Night falls and Sofia sits in her room remembering Juan’s riding into the hall on Capricho yelling that he was there for his woman and child. She is bitter to think that he apparently left and took only his child in the end, and that her suffering didn’t matter a whit to him.
Back in the jungle, Juan walks the path back from the river and steps into the snare. He hangs helplessly by one leg upside down while Apolinar smiles triumphantly in the shadows and watches. “There’ll be nothing left of him by morning after the wild animals swallow him,” he says walking away.
Later that night, Gabi is alone in her room. She takes off her wedding rings and gets into bed. She hears a noise at her rear window and goes outside to investigate and accidentally falls into the camouflaged pit. She becomes hysterical, crying and yelling that this is her worst nightmare come true. (I’m up for a Long Island tea and nix the sympathy.) Feo watches it all from his bedroom window and thinks that finally he has found a way that he can get rid of her. “Rest in peace, Gabriela. Rest in peace.” He goes to bed.
At the Double R, Eladio and Rigo tell Oscar and Franco how Capricho took off again and this time didn’t come back. They figure the horse went looking for Juan again and hope that perhaps he was able to find him this time, because it’s the first time the horse didn’t return home at the end of the day. Oscar says afterwards that he’s off to the hacienda for a nighttime “visit” with Jimena.
Meanwhile, back in the wild, the devoted doctora suspects that something has happened to Juan since he’s very late getting back with the water urns. Silvestre goes looking for him and finds Capricho there trying to “help” Juan, now unconscious, and still swinging upside down. (Dunno. I guess all the wild animals figured he was too tough to eat.) Silvestre cuts Juan down from the tree and throws him across Capricho’s back, and then heads back for Leonora’s hut.
Back in civilization, Sarita enters her bedroom and finds the dress from Franco. She remembers his telling her he’d buy it for her if she’d model it for him and she puts it on. Sofia walks in and finds out the dress came from Franco. Sarita admits she is still in love with Franco but feels guilty about it because of Juan’s kidnapping the baby. Sofia assures her that she won’t stop her from forgiving Franco and going back to him.
Outside, Gabi is still screaming for help. “It’s like a tomb! It’s like being buried alive! Help me! Fernando-o-o-o-o!!!!" (Yawn.) Inside, Sofia tells Sarita that she doesn’t want her two sisters sacrificing their happiness just to please her. Her problems with Juan are her own.
Meanwhile, Damian is sulking on his living room couch and thinking that without Sofia he is condemned to a life of loneliness and sadness. (Dami, consider yourself lucky!)
Back at Scandal Heights Sarita and Sofia continue their chat. Sarita doesn’t think Sofia should still love Juan nor be chained to his memory. She wants Sofia to forget him and consider Damian. Sofia admits that she can’t decide for sure whether she still loves Juan or not at this point. Sarita tells her to give Damian another chance. He’s in love with her and not exactly hard on the eyes so it shouldn’t be too difficult to love somebody like him. Sofia seems to be interested in taking her sister’s advice.

El Cuerpo del Deseo, - Thurs., Oct. 16 - Desire in the mud
I'm still behind but I know everyone wants to see the sex in the rain scene. On Wed., Isabel announced that she was marrying Andrés, Valeria went bananas when she found party guests playing on PJ's piano and it started to rain. PJ/S also told Rebeca that the only way she could get what she wanted was to buy him.
Ok, Thursday. It's still raining. Ángela asks PJ/S to drive Antonio to the university. Meanwhile Valeria has a high fever but the doctor can't come because it's raining. When PJ/S comes back from driving Antonio, Isabel is furious and fires him. Instead of going to the laundry room to change, PJ/S walks out into the rain, Isabel follows and passionate sex follows. So much for Valeria.
Walter goes out to look for Isabel but fortunately he doesn't find her.
After sex, the rain and all the clouds disappear immediately and the eternal full moon of Río Claro comes out.
Gaetana discovers Isabel's handiwork on PJ/S's back. PJ/S says that Isabel is dangerous and evil but he loves her and desires her anyway. He says that he will control and tame her.
Meanwhile, Ángela's lawyer is murdered. Presumably Andrés was responsible.
Isabel asks/orders PJ/S to report to her on what Ángela is up to. PJ/S says that spying isn't part of his job but he reluctantly agrees to do it.
Meanwhile, PJ/S is working to fix up everybody's lives at the Donoso house. He blackmails Walter into withdrawing an accusation against Vicky; he gets Ángela to agree to let him be her financial advisor and he initiates a plan to get Simón out of Consuelo's clutches. It also seems that Valeria may be coming out of her depression.

Cuidado Thursday, October 16, 2008: The upper crust don’t lift a dedo to help our little Mari
Reruns: Judge Pat is announcing Stef at her party and everyone applauds. JM takes her by the hand for their dance.
Here come Rocio and Mari, who is looking stunning in her red gown. Stef spots her, stops dancing, and says ¿Que haces aqui? JM spots her too and smiles his one-sided babe-magnet smile. Mari drops her eyes shyly.
New stuff: Mari is nervous, but Rocio tells her she’ll be the belle of the ball. We see Amador with his pipe and a glass of wine, talking to Vicente. He spots Mari and comments that she looks terrific, totally different. He leers and laughs.
Stef is asking JM why Mari, who wasn’t invited, has come with his sister. Clueless JM says he arranged so she could come. Mari and JM look at each other from a distance. Mari notices that others are looking at her too, but Rocio says that’s because she’s so beautiful.
Mari feels like bolting, but Rocio says come on and pulls her into the party. JM tells Stef that he met Mari at the house and she was so sad about the party, like a Cinderella. Stef fake smiles and says he is Mari’s fairy godmother. They sway dance some more.
Meantime, Ceci and Pat are talking to two of their guests, and Ceci says it’s a long story, but they got their daughter back. Apparently none of their other long-time friends seem to think it’s remarkable that they suddenly have a grown daughter. Rocio and Mari arrive at where they are sitting, Rocio cheerfully meeting everyone. Ceci is amazed and uncomfortable. Mari says I hope you’re not mad at me, and Ceci says I hadn’t thought you were coming. Mari tells how she got her dress, and Ceci begins to beam and says isn’t that great, Patricio? He glares.
Mari tells the story of how she got the dress and says to Ceci are you sure you’re not mad? Ceci says no, actually I’m so relieved you’re here, and she gives Mari a hug. Be a good girl tonight, she says, and Mari says I will. Rocio says con permiso and off they go to mingle. The friends say how lovely! and Pat is stony-faced.
Off to the side, Vicente is laughingly telling Amador that when the judge spots him, he’ll toss him out. Amador says he’ll find the right moment to run into Mari, when it won’t cause problems. Vicente says he’s going to go find Rocio.
He finds her with Mari and exclaims over the change in Mari and says looks like somebody touched you with a magic wand. He tells Rocio he was almost thinking she’d stood him up. He asks her to dance, but she says she’s with Mari. Mari says go ahead and off they go to the dance floor. Amador, his hair looking more than usual like the raised hackles on a wolf, eyes the scene, looking for his chance.
Mari plops down and takes off a painful high heel and looks around. Isa is mingling, and suddenly spots Mari and is horrified. What? says Mari and cops a little attitude.
Back to the hospital where Bea, whose lips look really chapped and dry, flutters her eyelids. My friends? she asks the nurse. (Where is this poor girl’s family?) The nurse says there’s just one there, and she goes to get him. Bea croaks Amador, but no such luck, here comes that nice guy from the artist group, Israel, who takes her hand and smiles. She stares off into the middle distance.
We’re at the party again and Isa says is that you Mari? Mari cracks wise a little and says she’s promised Ceci she’ll behave. Isa takes off and Mari massages her sore feet. Isa goes over to Ceci and asks for a word in private. Isa points out that Mari is there. Ceci says isn’t she lovely? Ceci explains about JM and the dress, and says she’s so relieved, as her conscience was killing her.
Isa says Mari is bound to do something bad and wreck the evening. Ceci pooh-poohs her.
The judge wants Stef to meet some friends and he drags her away from JM. JM tells Eduardo now you finally get to meet Mari. Eduardo is with Elsa, who is looking nervous. Mari is still rubbing her foot, but pops up to meet them. JM starts to introduce Elsa, whose eyes are darting around, and Mari says she already knows her. Mari asks is this your boyfriend and Elsa says yes, then quickly asks Eduardo to dance.
Now Mari and JM can talk, and she asks him how he likes her dress. He says she looks amazing all done up, and she gets shy and goofy. He says no, really. She thanks him for making it possible for her to come. A handsome young man approaches them and asks if they’re a couple. JM says no, so the fellow asks Mari to dance. JM says go ahead, and she says don’t you want to dance with me? and JM says I’m Stef’s escort. Mari, disappointed, goes off with the fellow.
The guy wants to know Mari’s name and how come she’s there. She says she lives with the Velardes. He asks her last name and she says not so many questions, let’s just dance. He laughs. The music has picked up a bit, so they don’t have to sway dance. JM is watching and Stef comes up, says she finally got away from the friends, and can they go outside on the terrace and chat? JM is reluctant, and he watches Mari, maybe a little jealous?
We hear the angry-bee sounds and here comes Amador, hair at full attention, and he steps in between Mari and the fellow and gets in close to her face. Mari tells him to get lost. Vicente is watching. Mari tells him to leave her alone, and he says you won’t do anything to cause a scene at the judge’s party. Mari tells him he’s a creep and a liar, faking his blindness to manipulate her. Isa is watching too. Amador says you know you dig me, and Mari says if you don’t keep your hands off me, I’ll leave you blind for real, and paralyzed too. Mari takes off, and Amador laughs. Isa follows after Mari, and finds her at the wine bar, exasperated.
She greets Mari and Mari says just what I need. Isa says but I just wanted to say hello. Mari says you’re just looking for some way to prejudice the judge against me. Isa fake smiles and says here have some champagne, it’s good when you’re thirsty. Mari says you want to put me in a trance! Isa says oh gosh no, a person has to drink about 15 of these to get that way, this is just one. Try it!
Mari tries a sip and likes it. She’s thirsty, so she swigs the whole thing, liking the bubbles. Isa says here, have another and she tells the waiter to fill it to the top. She tells Mari the correct way to drink it is to empty the glass, so Mari does. Mari’s smiling big now. Uh oh.
JM is asking Stef if it bothers her that Mari came. No, she says, why? He says you looked serious when she came in. Stef says I was just surprised, as I didn’t think she was coming. JM says he’s felt sorry for her. Stef says you really like her, huh? JM says it touches me that she needs help and protection, that’s all. Stef says are you in love with her? JM’s eyes shift around.
Looks like Mari is on her third glass. She and Isa are laughing and a nice-looking fellow is watching with amusement, maybe the same one who asked her to dance. Now we see there are 5 glasses set on the counter – did she drink all those? Isa says just one more. Mari says she’s had more than Isa, but Isa says I’m not as thirsty as you. Isa has her charm turned on full blast and she says she can’t drink as much because she’s not young any more like Mari.
It is the same fellow and he asks Mari to dance again. She’s dancing with more movement than the other guests, getting into it, but not out of hand. Her partner looks delighted. She takes off her shoes and ramps up her dancing. She’s really good! We go into slo mo.
JM tells Stef he’s not in love with Mari. Stef says sometimes it looks like it. JM says she’s my ward, that’s all. Thank goodness says Stef. Why? JM wants to know. Stef says because I’d just die of jealousy, of her, and of any other woman you might like. JM says right now there’s no one. She caresses his hand lightly with her acrylics – not even me? He looks ill at ease.
More dancing. Isa looks on, probably waiting for all that champagne to kick in.
JM says Stef, we’ve just met. Stef says don’t you believe in love at first sight? JM says I do, but I’ve never experienced it. Stef says do you find me attractive? JM says of course, it’s just something else. Stef says well I believe in love at first sight, and you are very attractive. She takes his chin and says what’s wrong? Can’t you look at another woman? Are you still in love with your wife?
Mari is starting to lose her balance and bit and Isa laughs. She goes to the bar and asks the waiter to take a glass of champagne to Mari. Mari drinks up. Rocio, who is dancing with Vicente nearby, starts to become alarmed. Mari is spilling champagne and the judge and Ceci notice. Her partner wants to know if she has a boyfriend. No. Why not? She says don’t ask. She’s getting a little loud and the judge’s friends tsk tsk.
JM tells Stef that Viv is in the past and that one day he hopes to build a new life with someone. Stef says I want to be that someone. Stef leans close and closes her eyes for a kiss. JM’s brain jumps into black and white and we see Mari leaning in close to him. He comes to and tells the unkissed Stef that they ought to get back in to the party.
The music is over and Mari runs over and asks JM for the next dance. He tries to beg off, but Mari is tugging on him and Stef, disgusted, gives him a shove out onto the dance floor. It’s a slow dance and JM and Mari are face to face. We go into slo mo again.
Back to normal speed. For some reason, the room has gone dark and only Mari and JM are in a sort of spotlight. They stare into each other’s eyes and sway. Since JM can’t dance worth beans, the camera swings around the couple to give the feeling of romantic swirls on the floor. After way too much of this scene, Isa asks Stef if she sees. They agree that it looks like JM likes Mari and Mari likes him back. Isa thinks they’re about to kiss so Stef heads out to the dance floor.
They almost kiss and Stef cuts in. The lights go up. She dances with JM, staring at him, while he looks away, like shaken. Mari runs off, distressed. Isa pours a couple more glasses of champagne in her.
Amador is talking to his aunt, who says you haven’t said hello to the judge yet. The aunt says she’s going to leave soon, but he can stay. Isn’t he going to dance? Amador says later.
He sees Mari drinking. He states what we’re all thinking: If she keeps drinking like that, she’ll easy meat for him. JM walks by and gives him the stink eye. Amador looks angrily as his retreating back.
Let’s catch up on what’s happening at the hospital. Israel is telling Bea that she’s past the worst, but Bea says she wishes she’d die. Israel tells her she can rebuild her life. She doesn’t want to, and Israel says you have to fight for something you love. She says Amador doesn’t love me. What’s the purpose of living? You’re the only one who’s come. Israel says Becky and Elsa were here, even Amador. Bea perks up. See? says Israel. You’re not alone. He strokes her face. What a sweetheart!
Amador introduces himself to Stef and she is charmed. JM takes her arm and leads her off. He wants to know how come he’s there, he’s the head of the group who have damaged Mari so much. Stef says oh, that Amador! He’s the one that Mari hit the other day and almost left blind. JM says What? Stef says I thought you knew. She went to the artist’s place and she and Amador fought and she hit him and he faked being blind to keep her attention.
Mari and Vicente are dancing pretty wild. Rocio is half smiling, half worried.
Stef tells JM it happened while you were gone. Mari left without permission to see the guy. But don’t worry about it, that’s the sort of things those kinds of people do.
Isa asks Ceci to come with her, and she says just look at Mari. Ceci looks doubtful, but says that’s the way young people dance nowadays. Isa says it’s horrible, people are starting to stare. Indeed, everyone has stopped dancing and is watching.
Amador has a big slug at the bar and that stirs up the angry bees. Here he comes, and he grabs Mari roughly. She tries to beat him off. The spineless guests do nothing. Vicente tries to stop him, but some people hold him back. By now Mari is frantic. Stef hears the brouhaha and tells JM to see what’s up. JM runs in and pulls Amador off Mari and slugs him.
They fight a little. Eduardo holds JM back and people are holding Amador back. Isa says to Ceci I told you so. The judge thunders in and yells at Amador What are you doing here? I told you not to show your face or you’d end up in jail.
The judge turns to Mari and says see what you caused? He reproaches JM but JM says he couldn’t contain himself. The judge tells Mari that her tears aren’t going to get her out of anything. Ceci says what have you done, Mari? Isa says I’ll take her out of here, she’s drunk. Rocio says I’ll take her. Ceci is very shaken and the judge stern.
JM wants to leave and help with Mari, but Stef says don’t you leave. After everything that happened, are you going to make it worse by leaving me here alone? You’re my escort. JM looks torn. Stef begs him and cries.
Rocio is having trouble getting Mari into bed. Mari’s on the floor clinging to the legs of the bed. Rocio takes her shoes off. Mari says tell your brother it wasn’t my fault. Rocio says he already knows. Mari gets giggly. She has wriggled under the bed and Rocio can’t get her to get up and get in bed.
Stef has JM out on the terrace again and she says she’s very honest about what she feels and she’s wondering if her feelings are in sync with his. He looks distracted but says and what are your feelings? JM flashes back on his conversation with Eduardo in which he said he ought to take up with someone else to forget Mari. He says to Stef would you mind if I fell in love with you? Stef says of course not, mi amor! She stares at him blissfully and he just looks away.
Mari has found her way out onto the lawn and she and Cuate romp around a bit. She tells Cuate she’s going to wait until JM gets home, no matter how late.
Ceci is trying to convince the judge to enjoy the rest of the evening. Stef walks up and says she and JM have great news. She smooches his cheek and says they just became novios. She smiles blindingly and he looks like a condemned man. Ceci and the judge hug them. JM apologizes for not asking their permission first. Isa is told and she and Stefi shriek with joy. JM looks like sheesh.
Mari is still waiting in the dark, trying not to fall asleep. Cuate is all waggy. Finally the electric gates swing open. Mari starts walking across the lawn and she sees JM and Stef get out of the car. She waits by the house wall and JM is about to leave when Stef says wait and kisses him. He doesn’t seem to kiss back, but from where Mari is, all she sees is them kissing.
Avances: Nothing new. We see old scenes, and a scene of Stef retelling with relish about the fight over Mari at her party.
Here come Rocio and Mari, who is looking stunning in her red gown. Stef spots her, stops dancing, and says ¿Que haces aqui? JM spots her too and smiles his one-sided babe-magnet smile. Mari drops her eyes shyly.
New stuff: Mari is nervous, but Rocio tells her she’ll be the belle of the ball. We see Amador with his pipe and a glass of wine, talking to Vicente. He spots Mari and comments that she looks terrific, totally different. He leers and laughs.

She doesn’t want to, and Israel says you have to fight for something you love. She says Amador doesn’t love me. What’s the purpose of living? You’re the only one who’s come. Israel says Becky and Elsa were here, even Amador. Bea perks up. See? says Israel. You’re not alone. He strokes her face. What a sweetheart!
Amador introduces himself to Stef and she is charmed. JM takes her arm and leads her off. He wants to know how come he’s there, he’s the head of the group who have damaged Mari so much. Stef says oh, that Amador! He’s the one that Mari hit the other day and almost left blind. JM says What? Stef says I thought you knew. She went to the artist’s place and she and Amador fought and she hit him and he faked being blind to keep her attention.
Mari and Vicente are dancing pretty wild. Rocio is half smiling, half worried.
Stef tells JM it happened while you were gone. Mari left without permission to see the guy. But don’t worry about it, that’s the sort of things those kinds of people do.
Isa asks Ceci to come with her, and she says just look at Mari. Ceci looks doubtful, but says that’s the way young people dance nowadays. Isa says it’s horrible, people are starting to stare. Indeed, everyone has stopped dancing and is watching.
Amador has a big slug at the bar and that stirs up the angry bees. Here he comes, and he grabs Mari roughly. She tries to beat him off. The spineless guests do nothing. Vicente tries to stop him, but some people hold him back. By now Mari is frantic. Stef hears the brouhaha and tells JM to see what’s up. JM runs in and pulls Amador off Mari and slugs him.
They fight a little. Eduardo holds JM back and people are holding Amador back. Isa says to Ceci I told you so. The judge thunders in and yells at Amador What are you doing here? I told you not to show your face or you’d end up in jail.
The judge turns to Mari and says see what you caused? He reproaches JM but JM says he couldn’t contain himself. The judge tells Mari that her tears aren’t going to get her out of anything. Ceci says what have you done, Mari? Isa says I’ll take her out of here, she’s drunk. Rocio says I’ll take her. Ceci is very shaken and the judge stern.
JM wants to leave and help with Mari, but Stef says don’t you leave. After everything that happened, are you going to make it worse by leaving me here alone? You’re my escort. JM looks torn. Stef begs him and cries.
Rocio is having trouble getting Mari into bed. Mari’s on the floor clinging to the legs of the bed. Rocio takes her shoes off. Mari says tell your brother it wasn’t my fault. Rocio says he already knows. Mari gets giggly. She has wriggled under the bed and Rocio can’t get her to get up and get in bed.
Stef has JM out on the terrace again and she says she’s very honest about what she feels and she’s wondering if her feelings are in sync with his. He looks distracted but says and what are your feelings? JM flashes back on his conversation with Eduardo in which he said he ought to take up with someone else to forget Mari. He says to Stef would you mind if I fell in love with you? Stef says of course not, mi amor! She stares at him blissfully and he just looks away.
Mari has found her way out onto the lawn and she and Cuate romp around a bit. She tells Cuate she’s going to wait until JM gets home, no matter how late.
Ceci is trying to convince the judge to enjoy the rest of the evening. Stef walks up and says she and JM have great news. She smooches his cheek and says they just became novios. She smiles blindingly and he looks like a condemned man. Ceci and the judge hug them. JM apologizes for not asking their permission first. Isa is told and she and Stefi shriek with joy. JM looks like sheesh.
Mari is still waiting in the dark, trying not to fall asleep. Cuate is all waggy. Finally the electric gates swing open. Mari starts walking across the lawn and she sees JM and Stef get out of the car. She waits by the house wall and JM is about to leave when Stef says wait and kisses him. He doesn’t seem to kiss back, but from where Mari is, all she sees is them kissing.
Avances: Nothing new. We see old scenes, and a scene of Stef retelling with relish about the fight over Mari at her party.

Fuego 10-16-08 ""If a Sofie cries in a scene and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?"
First let me just say I was thrilled to watch the “Angel” show which precedes this freak show and to see our young Libia, wealthy and dancing with a man who was born in the same decade as young Libia. It did my heart good.
We see Damien riding a horse and some octogenarian Mexican pushing around what I assume was a practice Bull. Wow, is this like rich guys playing polo? This scene was actually pretty sad, I guess it is suppose to be something the country gentlemen would do to maintain their social standing and maybe get a little exercise. I think the eighty year old dude with the fake bull was probably the only one who broke a sweat. Anyway, real hombres, the two remaining Kings come riding up. I’m sure in better circumstances this would have given the brothers of the common people something to chuckle about.
Meanwhile, Juan is teaching Basic Agriculture 101, in the ghetto section of Mexidoom. Some compesino guy has just cut his own thigh. I know not if it was a simple slip of the machete or a blood sacrifice to the Gods to ensure a fertile growing season. Professor Juan steps in and declares they must get hurt guy to the doctor’s stick hut. They help the guy get up and help him stumble in search of help. This confuses me as I wonder why Juan doesn’t just throw hurt guy over his overly broad shoulders and carry him. Oh crap I forgot the body is willing, but the brain is weak. The remaining native peoples are awed by the awesomeness of Juan. He is like a brother to them, he is so good, please don’t let him leave. Would they have simply let hurt guy lay there and bleed to death, cut up his dead body and use him for fertilizer?
Sofie is still lamenting her missing hija to Eva. Sofie has given up all hope. Eva says never give up hope after all look at Eva’s lame ass life. She has been looking for her kid for decades now and she knows that some day she will see her. Sofie desperate to be the soul center of attention retorts that Eva’s tale is different. Of course it is Sofie. Sofie doesn’t even know if her kid is alive. To sum this suck fest up, she whines, she cries, she annoys. Sofie fears Juan & the kid are dead. Her heart is filled with both love and hate for Juan. She fears she has lost the two loves of her life, her heart is broken. Pleeeeeeeezzzzzzzeeee
Sofie, we the very bored viewing audience know fine, well and good, that even when these two missing chunks of your heart reappear, that you will continue to squeeze out tears at each and every opportunity.
Now back to the boyz. Oscar & Franco tell Damien that Juan could never steal the kid. Yadda Yadda Yadda as we are forced to once again listen to the wonderful attributes of Juan. Damien is like “With all due respect” “Sofie is suffering and I will do anything to help her find her kid” The boyz get the squinty eyes as they ask, “So are you trying to get into the long black mourning knickers of Juan’s Mujer”. Damien only wants to see her happy and nothing would make him happier than having the long suffering Sofie at his side. What is it with this chick? Seriously do men just sit around dreaming of a woman who is weak and frail and whining? Also a shout out for Mariachi, I think he decided to let his hair grow and get a gig with the rich guy where he doesn’t have to eat bowls of crappy dry pan.
Now back to the jungle, I guess Juan finally found a clue. Carrying hurt guy, Juan enters the clinic of sticks and dumps hurt whining guy on the bed. Doctor Babe hands Juan a bottle of alcohol, which he pours on hurt guy’s leg so he can scream even more. Hurt guy asks Juan to go find hurt guy’s kid.
Fer is smacking Ros around for giving Gabi the 411 regarding the fact that Luisito is really the sad spawn of Fer. Franco enters and starts smacking Fer around, Fer pulls a gun and threatens to kill both.
Gabi is in her room lamenting the not sharingness of the evil Fer. Jeez WTF? It happened like five years ago and it isn’t like Fer wants the kid over at the hacienda on the weekends and demands that Luisito call Gabs “Mama”. I think maybe it is cause Fer, diddled someone of the lower classes. Gabi says she may tell the Nasty Reyes boyz that Fer whacked Libia. Egads, what next. Gabs goes all BSC and starts searching the drawers, I don’t know what she is looking for. Maybe a giant 34HH sparkle encrusted bra. Oh the betrayal. Finally she finds the snake belt that Fer stole from The Uribe Hacienda. Gabi strokes the belt and recalls this is the belt Ricardo Uribe wore when he whacked the Reyes parents. She caresses the buckle. I dunno, but it appears to me that Gabi is no stranger to stroking that snake (with all due respect).
Servant lady comes in and tells Gabi that Rosendo wants to talk to her. Servant lady leaves, Gabi sucks back snotty tears and gives one last stroke to the snake.
Armando is in the hall listening to the fight going on in the room between Fer, Franco & Ros. Armando realizing that “He who turns and runs away lives to fight another day”, slips off down the hall. Fer orders Ros & Franco to “GET OUT”.
Ros & Franco have a little talk in the hall. Franco questions Ros about why she stays. She tells him, Fer can have her thrown in jail and then life would really suck for Luisito. Franco tells her that he stopped by because Padre Tad told the boyz, that Fer was very dangerous and now Gabi’s daughters were in great danger. Ya think? Anyway, Ros tells Frankie that Fer has been a bit high strung lately & he is in great fear of Da Da Da Duh….EL Jefe.
Juan found Hurt Guy’s Hijo. To avoid confusion, the child shall now be dubbed Hurtito. Juan decides to put Hurtito on a horse. Juan is kinda of stroking the horse’s head and baby talking to it….WHEN yet another set of half remember memories enter his already compromised brain area. We witness the stricken expression, the swirling bad acid colors and mixed scenes, the horse and so on. Unfortunately Juan does not have a full on writhing set of seizures and I for one was disappointed. However Juan was left to wonder who are these spirits who haunt his mind.
--No animals or children were harmed in the filming—
Rosendo tells Gabi that Fer sold the stuff (what? Who the hell knows?) my husband said he guess that Fer sold the crops or something. My husband also says he didn’t know they grew anything on the Hacienda so I guess Fer sold some unknown products of said farm and pocketed the profits. Gabi’s pissed state just continues to grow.
Pablito is having a “South Park” kind of day at school. The teacher is out of the room and the kids are taunting Pablito that “Juan Reyes is nothing but a dirty rotten baby stealer” Pablito like two of his fathers, starts counting off the virtues of Juan. One little smart ass pulls out a wanted poster. Pablito is about to go medieval on the kid when the teacher breaks it up. The kid sits down and begins chanting, “Juan Reyes is Mal”. The teacher has to physically restrain Pablito.
Oscar & Frankie visit Tio Jefe in the jail. He is happy to see the boyz. The boyz tell Jefe they are worried about the sisters. Jefe says he has Coyote keeping an eye on Fer. They tell Tio that Juan is now a wanted man. El Jefe says he thinks Juan took the kid. Jefe knows what it is like to have his kid taken away. After all boyz, how do you think I ended up here.
Padre Tad stops by to see Sofie, seriously this must count as penance and save Tad from having to flail himself with a cat-o-nine-tails. It would be a toss-up. Of course, Sofie cries, whines and blames everything on Juan. Tad says he doesn’t believe Juan could ever do such a thing. Sofie says then where is he? I have to admit she does have a point. I mean seriously she really does have a point. She pretty much did make it a point to tell the evil Juan that she didn’t need no baby daddy.
Coyote stops by the Hacienda, Gabi says Fer isn’t home. Coyote says that he isn’t there to see Fer, he came to see her. Coyote is there for her, should she ever need anything, he is at her beckon call. Gabi is totally taken with her knight in shining leather sportcoat. He bends and kisses her hand. Gabi has a pleased flattered look in her eyes and the pleasure seems to spread from her eyes to well, you know in a southernly direction.
Back to the jungle, Porn Jefe has some young native woman pinned to a tree, he is trying to get her to give it up. It will make life easier for her parents, being that since they are ignorant heathens that have no access to psychiatric care, they will get to reap the rewards of daughter boinking porn star and won’t have to spend any money on the lifetime of mental help that said young maiden will require after sex with Porn Jefe.
Don’t fear viewers, Juan comes upon this “I’ve got candy” moment. He tells the girl to go home and he knocks the Porn Jefe down and stomps off. Porn Jefe lies on the ground and vows vengeance, he will set Juans stick hut on fire. Good luck Porn Jefe, Babe Doc has been trying to do that for months.
Back at the Bar of Bad Love. Ros is all dressed up and ready to go on stage. She is wearing a stunning Red & Gold set that seems to enhance her enhanced hooters. She is talking to Armando in the hall. He tells her she can count on him. She asks him if Fer had anything to do with the disappearance of Juan. Armando can't look her in the eye. The conversation ends as the Horny Crowd is screaming for Ros.
She goes on to do her token routine, dancing singing with the back-up chicas, while flames shoot up from the stage drawing the eye to crotch level. I gotta say that Fer has a marketing artistic eye, I would have never pegged him for.
After the dance, Fer has Ros in the office. He proceeds to choke the truth out of Ros regarding the earlier visit of Franco. He is pretty creepy and I think Ros is probably going to get raped. Ros chokes out that Pad Tad said Fer was dangerous now that he is married to Gabi. Fer lets her go and tells her to get out.
Meanwhile Oscar has once again visited the not catatonic Ximena. He tells what Tad said about Fer being dangerous. He wants her to come live at the Reyes house. Ximena, who has nothing to do but lay around thinking up snotty things to say, tells him he only wants to use her and besides how could she leave her sisters in danger?
--First Ximena let’s be honest, Oscar has it made, he climbs up, nails you and gets to leave; thus avoiding your nagging, whining and sad over shopping. Second, you are really helping your sisters out with the whole fake catatonic act.—
Anyway this goes to her turning off the light and him slipping between the sheets. A stalemate.
Pad Tad is now standing in the street talking to Sofie, I guess the Little Shop of Crap is closed for the evening. He offers to accompany her home. Sofie says no that is okay she is in her silver SUV & she will go straight home. She gets the usual blessing and drives off.
----Question here----I do not recall Sofie having a brand new spanking Silver SUV. Oh now I get it. Let’s see should I make some posters, hire a private detective, look for my kid? No, someone else will probably do it. I’ll just buy a new SUV & “Honest Jose’s House of OverPriced OverLarge SUV’s” is giving a great deal 10,000 peso rebate and I can buy 20 new frumpy black frocks, the vintage collection. That way should I get dry eye, people will still be forced to feel uncomfortable around me and experience my angst.
As Princess drives off, Fer is sitting in his Truck and puts a silencer on his gun. Pad Tad is just standing there doing the ol prayer for Sofie. Fernando aims, we hear a squeal. Pad Tad has bent down to pick up Mariachi (who is wearing a daushcand suit). Fer aims for another shot, Fer hears someone yelling. It is the daushcand’s parents. They come up and chat with Padre and take the dog home. Fer leaves, Fer believes Padre has some invisible protection. Padre starts shivering, he feels an evil in the air.
Coyote and Gabi have shared a toast, that Gabi is quite the drinker. They are fast friends. Standing at the front door, Coyote stresses again that she can count on him. He bends again and is kissing her hand when Fer walks in. Coyote leaves and Fer starts yelling at Gabi, she answers that Coyote is a friend of his. Fer says no that Coyote is his worst enemy. Please Fer, rephrase that and say Coyote is your smartest enemy.
It seems the honeymoon is over. Gabi threatens Fer with the Libia thing and he answers go ahead and I will tell your part in the missing Juan and Hija story. We have a Mexican Standoff here.
The end………………………
Looks like tomorrow night Porn Jefe catches Juan in one of those traps where you step in the loop and then get jerked up in the air upside down. At first I thought Juan was having the seizure of all seizures, but once I stopped laughing I realized the truth. Just another little disappointment in my life.
Would some kind person please tag this for me?
Thanks

QE Thurs 10/16 - So many sorries in the house of smelly sombreros and Omar stinks too
It's pouring rain, meaning not only are the writers hitting us over the head with romantic symbolism but we know Alonslow and Lorena will have a tender moment. She agrees to spend the day with him tomorrow. He's so grateful he does a little happy dance after she leaves. Soto emoting? Incredible!
Vasco and Babs tell Jaime they moved out of Evil Acres and are looking for new digs. Vasco is Mr. Bitter. Jaimes swears Snorty is a different person, she's lost her business, her money, her power, and she has to sell the house. Vasco looks slightly less angry at the news.
Snorty tells her faithful staff, including the wretched maid who double-crossed her crony (Nana who is now working for Zulema), that she has to let them go because she's losing the house. Augusta decides to stay with her Señora Linda, doesn't matter about the pay.
Zuly and Diana share Lor's joy in spending the day with Al. Zuly wants to plan something special for the doctor. Diana is slightly more objective and seems to favor Chef Hawt, probably because she knows Dr. Dumb did Sara.
Ern comes home and his cute little niece shows him the drawing that Lorena did for her when she visited. Ern is impactado to hear Lor was there.
Al picks up Lorena and they talk stupidly with goo goo eyes about their day. He almost rented a plane to write her name like in a telenovela. She wants to go to the best restaurant, haha just a joke. Again with their stupid jokes. What she really wants to do is visit the Basilica of Guadalupe.
To the tune of Ave Maria they sightsee and visit the basilica and religious paintings. Lor silently thanks the Virgin of Guadalupe for leading her to her family.
Afterward Al tells Lor he prayed for the chance to fix his mistakes, she is the only one he's ever loved. Clearly she's falling for this crap. It strikes me that these two are very traditional and maybe they would be happy with the mundane existence their future together would bring.
More sightseeing, parks, fountains, and praying. He has a surprise for her and he carries her off by "force". How romantic...NOT! OK I admit I still don't like him. Can you tell?
It looks like they are on those boats that go by the island of scary dolls. She asks how did he know she's never been to Xochimilco? Because she once told him. He's chartered a boat named "Lorena" and he has a gourmet lunch with wine waiting. She thanks him for a great day and they toast. What else? He hires a boat of mariachis to play "Si Nos Dejan" for her, which is the traditional Mexican romance and/or proposal song. OK, it's romantic but if some guy stared at me the way he stares at her, stalkerlike, I would swim for shore.
Meanwhile Icky thanks Magdalena for turning Jaqui into a new person. She gives him her line, Jaqui's got the gift (of gullibility!) and a sensitivity to the Great Spirit. Icky agrees, that's why he has a donation, a moral debt as it were, in payment for Jaqui's transformation. He doesn't want Mag to tell Jaqui how much money he donated, it's dirty money. She tells him it will be purified the moment he hands it over, which he does. I'm not sure about this, I think he wants to donate just a bit, keep the rest, and not tell Jaqui.
Paula gives Bettina some motherly advice before driving her over to Ivan's house. She adds Bettina had better not mention to Uncle Al that she's at the house of Al's rival.
In the house stacked with sombreros Jaqui apologizes to Don Toribio for stealing Paula's husband and upsetting his family. Catalina gets annoyed and says she prefered when Jaqui sat in her room all day and watched movies. Like us she's sick of "sorry" and "forgive me". Tori tells Cat that he's also sorry about that Tai Chi thing. Cat says no more Tai Chi and no more of those other ladies and she accepts his apology.
Bettina arrives at Ivan's and everyone, the kids, Fanny, are thrilled to see her. Let's dance!!
Meanwhile Ern is doing his first show. "Why do people like to cook?" he asks. One of his dear students provided the best definition. She said cooking is an act of love, just like people kiss because kissing makes them both feel good. He dedicates this act of love to Lorena and he wishes she were there so he could prove it.
Zuly and Diana watch at home and Diana is impressed, Zuly not so much. She thinks Al is better for her daughter. Diana wants to tape the show for Lorena but Zuly resists. Diana finally agrees that if Lorena comes home as Al's girlfriend she won't tell her. (What, don't they think that every student at Lor's school will be dying to tell her?)
Ern finishes the show and he's a hit, the fans are calling in. Food Channel take note! Cute production chick Celeste invites him to out with some of the staff.
Icky comes home all hangdog because the Japanese businessmen don't want his sombreros. She's sick of her house looking like a warehouse and the damn hats stink! He begs his mamita linda to make him something to eat, kiss kiss. Blech.
Al's back to his stalking ways. He shows Lorena a scrapbook featuring pictures of him in Quebec. He turns the page and he's pasted pics of her next to him. She thinks this sick scrapbooking habit is delightful. He says he never stopped thinking of her, even when he was boinking her sister. (OK, I added that last bit.) He puts a stupid stone bracelet on her that signifies a bunch of crap. They start to kiss...
...No, she pulls away. What she had with Ernesto was very intense. She needs time. She's got it, the pizza arrives.
Bruto pays a surprise visit to Sara, it's a thinly veiled attempt to beg for sex. She says there are more important things to think about, his ex-family for example. He hisses that they will pay for all their humiliations, starting with Diana.
Lor tells Al she loves her rock bracelet and all it signifies. He smiles like a dope.
Paula picks ups Bettina and she and Ernesto discuss the kids. They are in complete agreement that kids need to respect each other, they think Ivan and Bettina are pretty good kids. After she leaves Ern asks Ivan if Bettina mentioned her doctor uncle. Ivan scolds his tio, does he want Ivan to be his spy?
Zuly, Diana and Rosy discuss Al and Lorena. Rossy says he's going to have to bend over backward to get Lorena back. (Hacer meritos = to do everything one can/bend over backward.) Diana comments another miracle would be if Julian put the baby to sleep.
Awww, Vasco and Julian are watching the bebe. They're talking seriously when a nasty smell pervades. Sniff sniff over the diaper. who's gonna change it? A ti!! Julian loses.
Lor comes home and shows the girls the bracelet that Al gave her, every stone symbolizes a promise Al made to her. Diana's bummed because she's voting for Ern. Lor and Vasco have a reunion hug, primos! Julian wants to chow and Zuly makes a crack about Omar being late as usual.
Cut to Greta in bed and Omar who feels incredible. Blah blah. Greta tells Omar she loves him and doesn't want "this" to ever end. Gah, 'nuff said.
Al goes to Paula's, he's in a good mood because of his date with Lorena.
Jaime and Snorty talk business. They are practically in the street. Jaime has something else to tell her of a more personal nature, he's going to get married. Snorty asks, to Babs? No Ma, to Maruja, she used to be your Sous Chef. Snorty's impactada.
Snorty's not thrilled but she's not going to make the same mistake she made with Omar. She even suggests having the ceremony at Evil Acres as a sort of farewell. Not gonna happen because it's a double wedding and Zuly won't step foot in the house.Snorty gives him advice on how to get Zuly to forgive him, starting with don't give up before you start.
Omar the Guilty arrives home and Zuly's awake in bed. She hugs him and smells the scent of a woman!
Next morning Jaqui and Icky discuss his donation. She wants to approach Sara so she, too, can cleanse her dirty money. They need to show her the love, especially now that the business is kaput. This is a surprise to Icky. Jaqui feels they should return all the money they embezzled from the company because Snorty needs it now. Icky tells her not to be stupid, they'll answer to a higher authority when they all end up in jail.
Jaime visits the lesser house and asks Lorena what she thinks of him. She hugs him...Tio! She calls Zuly who's surprised to hear him called Tio. Lor says she forgave Snorty, why not her Tio? They shake hands and Zuly admits she does it for Maruja. He tells them they lost the business and the house.
Babs complains to Vasco about the hotel. She'd rather live in a cottage, not in la Colonia but in a colonia "mas nice". Oops, she's being snotty again. She promises to try to like wherever Vasco chooses. They hug and give the over-the-shoulder doubt look.
Al shows up at the busy lesser house. He's all breathy and gazes at Lor. Zuly passes by, huffs and puffs and becomes short of breath. She promises to see Al tomorrow. Lor wants to stay home but Zuly pooh poohs it, Diana will be home soon.
On the way to the movies Al tells Lor about the marvelous bariatric surgery. Lor is interested.
Jaqui, in a sari type thing, runs into Sara and blesses the Divine Light for putting Sara in her path. She says Sara has a black conscience and Sara calls her an idiot. Jaqui tells sara it's time to repent, she knows everything, it's time for Sara to ask Snorty for forgiveness and give all the money back. Sara asks is Jaqui on drugs and leaves in a huff. Jaqui yells after her that if Sara doesn't tell then she (Jaqui) will tell the truth for her! Uh oh, welcome to the hit list Jaqui.
Al blabs on and on about the details of gastric bypass surgery to Lor. It's not complicated and is recommended for people who can't lose weight. (Oh REALLY?) Lorena comments that he's in the wrong gear and he asks where did she learn to drive? She recalls Ern yelling at her while trying to teach her. She says she started but she had a bad teacher. (Oh sure fine, bad driving teacher but an awesome cook, tender lover, easy on the eyes, interesting guy, good with kids, wide range of facial expressions, but a bad driving teacher. Oh by all means dump him now.) Al wants to teach her. Fine.
Ern visits the lesser house and friendly Diana greeets him. She tells him Lor went out. Chef Hawt asks Diana to tell Lor he came by. Diana checks out his fantastic behind as he leaves.
Of course Al is a patient driving teacher and Lor isn't nearly as stupid as she was when Ern was teaching her. Frankly, Al is the stupid one for not teaching her in a parking lot, but OK it's a quiet street. She stops the car at her house and jumps out with a cramp in her leg. Al runs over to massage it.
Ernesto, sitting in his car, sees this interaction and sadly tells himself he's lost her forever.
Tomorrow: Ernesto and Jimena run into Alonslow and Lorena, Bruto screams at Sara there will be an investigation of the poisoned meat, and Ultimas Semanas!!
I couldn't get the tune out of my head so I translated it. It's really a beautiful song and I hope I didn't mangle the translation:
Translation "Si Nos Dejan"
If they let us
We will love each other for a lifetime
If they let us
We will live in a new world
I believe we can see
The new dawn
Of a new day
I think that you and I
Can be happy still
If they let us
We'll look for a corner in the sky
If they let us
We will make the the clouds velvet
And we'll be together there
Near to God
It will be what we dream
If they let us
I take you your hand my love
And there we go
If they let us
We'll forget all the others
If they let us
Vasco and Babs tell Jaime they moved out of Evil Acres and are looking for new digs. Vasco is Mr. Bitter. Jaimes swears Snorty is a different person, she's lost her business, her money, her power, and she has to sell the house. Vasco looks slightly less angry at the news.
Snorty tells her faithful staff, including the wretched maid who double-crossed her crony (Nana who is now working for Zulema), that she has to let them go because she's losing the house. Augusta decides to stay with her Señora Linda, doesn't matter about the pay.
Zuly and Diana share Lor's joy in spending the day with Al. Zuly wants to plan something special for the doctor. Diana is slightly more objective and seems to favor Chef Hawt, probably because she knows Dr. Dumb did Sara.
Ern comes home and his cute little niece shows him the drawing that Lorena did for her when she visited. Ern is impactado to hear Lor was there.
Al picks up Lorena and they talk stupidly with goo goo eyes about their day. He almost rented a plane to write her name like in a telenovela. She wants to go to the best restaurant, haha just a joke. Again with their stupid jokes. What she really wants to do is visit the Basilica of Guadalupe.
To the tune of Ave Maria they sightsee and visit the basilica and religious paintings. Lor silently thanks the Virgin of Guadalupe for leading her to her family.
Afterward Al tells Lor he prayed for the chance to fix his mistakes, she is the only one he's ever loved. Clearly she's falling for this crap. It strikes me that these two are very traditional and maybe they would be happy with the mundane existence their future together would bring.
More sightseeing, parks, fountains, and praying. He has a surprise for her and he carries her off by "force". How romantic...NOT! OK I admit I still don't like him. Can you tell?
It looks like they are on those boats that go by the island of scary dolls. She asks how did he know she's never been to Xochimilco? Because she once told him. He's chartered a boat named "Lorena" and he has a gourmet lunch with wine waiting. She thanks him for a great day and they toast. What else? He hires a boat of mariachis to play "Si Nos Dejan" for her, which is the traditional Mexican romance and/or proposal song. OK, it's romantic but if some guy stared at me the way he stares at her, stalkerlike, I would swim for shore.
Meanwhile Icky thanks Magdalena for turning Jaqui into a new person. She gives him her line, Jaqui's got the gift (of gullibility!) and a sensitivity to the Great Spirit.

El Cuerpo del Deseo, Tues., Oct 14 - PJ/S gets revenge on Walter and Antonio has a birthday
Gratuitous shot of PJ/S changing his shirt.
Ángela and her lawyer meet Isabel and Andrés. Isabel and Andrés try and convince Ángela that the lawyer is not trustworthy.
PJ/S tells Walter that he will get payback for what Walter did to PJ/S's car.
Angela tells PJ/S that her father was cold and indifferent to her. He tells her that parents love their children even if they make mistakes or are rebellious.
Angela is affected by PJ/S's words and says it is like she was talking to her father. Antonio sees them together.
PJ/S can't get into the secret room from outside so he goes through the study but Vicky sees him go in there. When Rebeca comes looking for him in there, the room is empty.
PJ/S causes consternation by not only knowing that it is Antonio's birthday but giving him a book with the same inscription and handwriting as PJ/S.
PJ/S's revenge on Walter is to get him caught shoplifting.
Isabel gives PJ/S a teaser kiss and then licks his goatee. I thought that was kind of gross. Anyway, then she tells him to stay away from her.
Walter is out all night and comes home a mess. He makes up some story about what happened to him.

Querida Enemiga 10-15- Wed - FA! ......FA!
We start with Omar sharing the news that they are poisoners and that more than 100 people are sick. Of course the family is impactada because of the high standards of the business and all. Omar gives the laundry list of possible complaints against them. Horty wants to talk to them alone in the library.
Meanwhile at the lesser house, Lore and Di are chatting about how quickly the baby recovered and how bothered she was to see Bruno and how love is blind, then they get on the subject of her two loves and she says they are both good guys so she can’t choose and she tells how Ern sent out innuendos in class and that she talked to Al at the hospital but she doesn’t know what to do. Zully comes in and tells of the ecoli outbreak at Horty’s biz.
Meanwhile Horty rallies her troops in her library that they must save the business because it’s their inheritance and she built it up to greatness her whole life so they can reap it’s benefits. They all agree to stand by her.
Sara watches the news to hear of the millions of claims against the Armendariz. Bruno just misses it, but he wished that Di’s family had eaten all that stuff. He’s happy this has brought Sara to his side.
Back at the pow wow, the Armendariz all agree that they have to own up and admit responsibilty and pay for everything and tell the truth. Vasco is amazed and wonders what miracle happened. Jaime says it’s Lorena and they explain how she’s the real nieta.
Ern is playing a game with the kids who miss Lore and little Gina most of all so they want her to come and visit. Ern promises she’ll be back and she’ll stay.
The family meeting continues with all agreeing that Sara should get what’s coming to her and she needs to get punished.
Bruno kisses Sara and tells her how beautiful and passionate she is, but Sara is elsewhere, she misses Al.
Horty continues her I’m sorry speech and the rest chime that Sara will pay for all this.
Betti and Pau tell Pa and Al about the separation and how this time it’s different and was done maturely. Ma sends Betti off to fetch the cake and tells the boys about Bett’s BF, Al is impactado when she continues that it’s Ern’s nephew. Ouch.
Zully is having girl talk with her two daughters. They discuss that Di should have married Vasco instead of that Patan Bruto. Di can’t understand how blind she could have been Lore thinks maybe there’s still time. Di isn’t so sure after the big blow off job she did to Vasco, but they agree that she really still cares for him. Lore says she’s not going to think about anything but her family and work. She is happy to have a Mom and sis to tell all her things to.
Horty tells Augusta she feels bad mentally because she couldn’t tell Vasco she made Di leave him.
Jaqui wants Icky to give back all the money he took. She says for her salvation she’d be capable of telling them he took all the money. He needs to cleanse his soul and fess up. He tells her she’ll go straight to hell if she opens her mouth. She’s not afraid. Her spirits will protect her. He says spirits , my ass, well actually, my gaitors. Doesn’t translate well.
She tells him not to blasphemize them (the spirits, not the gaitors...). He wants to know why she wants to get revenge on him. She says it’s not revenge, he just needs salvation. She said she only needs the basics, she gave everything to the society. He asks if he gives a donation will she feel better? She says it’s not for sale, and he continues nor can it be destroyed only transformed. She wonders how he knew and he says maybe he got a divine inspiration. He ends up agreeing to go with her to talk to the Ventura people because he needs something to believe in. She is overjoyed and he furls his brow. I bet he’s got an idea to start his own cult, that or blackmail this one.....
Lore flashes back to Al then Ern but tells herself she shouldn’t listen to either of them because they both failed her somehow.
Zully up in the middle of the night eats and notes that Omar is not home yet.
Speaking of O, Greta whores herself up and soon Omar shows up. He agrees she knows how to drive a man crazy. He feels like a new man around her, she agrees he is. Only their desires rule in this room.
The next day at breakfast they discuss how Omar never came home until 4 am. Lore feels bad he worked so much. Omar comes out and overhears that his Ma came by and learns of the forgiveness and wondered why he only just heard. They argue about him not being around etc and Lore doesn’t want them to fight. Julian comes out and they mention the business and Omar wonders what else he doesn’t know about. Lore says they are not going to fight, and then Omar leaves not even eating breakfast.
Di says it’s one thing that he worries about the business but another altogether that he pays no attention to them. They all agree he’s changed. If they only knew....
Vasco goes to see his Abue she confesses and tells him that she paid Bruno to marry Di.
Jaime and Maru chat about the business and he reaffirms that despite the business he wants her for his wife as soon as possible.
Omar and Greta are chatting at the office and Omar admits he feels Agobiado and that he’s risking too much, the love of his family. Greta thinks it’s only the routine and boredom and his kids are adults so they are ok, and she asks nothing of him. They smooch again.
Abue begs for his forgiveness, he gives her hell. Finally someone refuses to pardon her.
Ern and Jime are chatting and the kids ask her if she can stay and draw with them but she doesn’t know how to well. The kids say Lore draws well. She gives Ern circus tickets and feels bad she was the cause of Lore being upset.
Lore offers to be in charge of Zully’s diet so she will eat better and be healthy and around longer and not calming her nerves with food.
Jaime and his lawyer are kwetching about how high all these bills are when the Health Department shows up and says they are shutting down Banquetes Armendariz for good. Oh come on. At the risk of being non-pc, people get food poisoning all the time in Mexico, they don’t even do permanent close downs in the US unless you neglect to correct a problem or fail too many times. Anyway, if I had a dime for every time....
Vasco is indignant to his Abue and talks to his ma that this is the limit for him. She tries to convince him that he should stick with helping the business because it’s his inheritance, but he reminds her he never cared about materials things. Uh, yeah, because he grew up rich and always had them....
Horty shows up to find out that they are done.
Bruno moans to Sara about money and that he’ll have to leave the apartment soon if he doesn’t get more. What the heck? Isn’t this guy a full time doctor? I know he works for a free clinic but he has to have some money. Where the heck did his money go?
Icky meets the Maestro Efrain and the lady of the Ventura society.
Tori at Tai chi gets a massage and Cata gets jealous, he’s had enough of this with Amalia, and yells at her, she agrees she suggested going there, but she didn’t expect he would get hit on.
Jaqui gets "cleansed" by Freezing water and Ephrain. FA! Proclaims Efrain repeatedly, surely to drive out all demons. Icky smirks, but sets up a business meeting of sorts with the lady and tells her not to tell Jaqui. This was actually the best scene....
Vasco meets up with Di at the lesser house. She regrets her marriage and says it was hell but we are divorcing. Vasco is excited to meet baby and swears he would have given her everything. He thinks baby recognizes him and she says of course, he knows his voice for so long.
Lore and Ern chat before class. She got his flowers and cares for him, but she’s not getting back with him, she still doesn’t trust him, she’s very hurt and doesn’t want to suffer. He says they shouln’t do this to each other, they love each other....blah blah....
Zully sees Vasco and he greets her and Nana, Zully tells him he is welcomed back into the lesser home. He notes all the happy news here.
Ern passes out tests and writes a note on Lore’s...asking her if she has a recipe for forgetting because she’s shown him many things except this, of course she passes with a ten. Yeah, love notes on an exam would surely get you fired here!
Patti is happy she passed and shouts she is free of Ern. Later walking she tells Lore she shouldn’t have said that, but she didn’t want to take the class again. She says something about if she had to take mexcian cooking one more time she would turn into the Filipina with a bonnet and big ladles...I think this is picking on the traditional cooking character.
Lore goes to visit the little ones, they missed her. Lore agrees to draw with them. They don’t like Jime, but Lore learns she was there today.
Jaqui is so happy Icky wants to save himself and now they only have to work with his Mami and they’ll be fine. He wipes his lips after her kiss and calls her as crazy as a goat.
Ivan is at their place and thanks Pau for a great meal, he has to go now to see his friend, but Betti doesn’t like this idea, though she doesn’t quite tell him. Betti wants him to call when he gets home, she is already learning how to be a stalker...
Snorty wants to be left alone by the nurse...she’s remorseful.
Vasco wants to leave the house, so Barb says if he goes, she has no reason to stay either.
Thankfully Ma Pau talks with Betti and convinces her not to be a stalker. She explains that Ivan needs to be with his friends and she needs to lead her life to.
Omar and Zully are laying in bed. He can’t sleep and she thinks he’s worrying about work. Uh think again, he’s seeing red dresses...
Sara was going to erase Al’s foto but thinks she’ll keep it to remind her of all his bad doings and that she will make him suffer the most.
Lore gets home and It’s raining, a little boy in yellow raingear hands her a dvd, he already got his tip. Al tells her on the video he thought this was the only way to talk to her. He begs for forgiveness. She appreciates it. He says he’ll be out front in the rain, remember what the rain means, and he’s waiting for her answer. She looks out the window and sees him shivering and holding a stuffed bear. She accepts and agrees to spend the day with him. Ugh, here we go.
Meanwhile at the lesser house, Lore and Di are chatting about how quickly the baby recovered and how bothered she was to see Bruno and how love is blind, then they get on the subject of her two loves and she says they are both good guys so she can’t choose and she tells how Ern sent out innuendos in class and that she talked to Al at the hospital but she doesn’t know what to do. Zully comes in and tells of the ecoli outbreak at Horty’s biz.
Meanwhile Horty rallies her troops in her library that they must save the business because it’s their inheritance and she built it up to greatness her whole life so they can reap it’s benefits. They all agree to stand by her.
Sara watches the news to hear of the millions of claims against the Armendariz. Bruno just misses it, but he wished that Di’s family had eaten all that stuff. He’s happy this has brought Sara to his side.
Back at the pow wow, the Armendariz all agree that they have to own up and admit responsibilty and pay for everything and tell the truth. Vasco is amazed and wonders what miracle happened. Jaime says it’s Lorena and they explain how she’s the real nieta.
Ern is playing a game with the kids who miss Lore and little Gina most of all so they want her to come and visit. Ern promises she’ll be back and she’ll stay.
The family meeting continues with all agreeing that Sara should get what’s coming to her and she needs to get punished.
Bruno kisses Sara and tells her how beautiful and passionate she is, but Sara is elsewhere, she misses Al.
Horty continues her I’m sorry speech and the rest chime that Sara will pay for all this.
Betti and Pau tell Pa and Al about the separation and how this time it’s different and was done maturely. Ma sends Betti off to fetch the cake and tells the boys about Bett’s BF, Al is impactado when she continues that it’s Ern’s nephew. Ouch.
Zully is having girl talk with her two daughters. They discuss that Di should have married Vasco instead of that Patan Bruto. Di can’t understand how blind she could have been Lore thinks maybe there’s still time. Di isn’t so sure after the big blow off job she did to Vasco, but they agree that she really still cares for him. Lore says she’s not going to think about anything but her family and work. She is happy to have a Mom and sis to tell all her things to.
Horty tells Augusta she feels bad mentally because she couldn’t tell Vasco she made Di leave him.
Jaqui wants Icky to give back all the money he took. She says for her salvation she’d be capable of telling them he took all the money. He needs to cleanse his soul and fess up. He tells her she’ll go straight to hell if she opens her mouth. She’s not afraid. Her spirits will protect her. He says spirits , my ass, well actually, my gaitors. Doesn’t translate well.
She tells him not to blasphemize them (the spirits, not the gaitors...). He wants to know why she wants to get revenge on him. She says it’s not revenge, he just needs salvation. She said she only needs the basics, she gave everything to the society. He asks if he gives a donation will she feel better? She says it’s not for sale, and he continues nor can it be destroyed only transformed. She wonders how he knew and he says maybe he got a divine inspiration. He ends up agreeing to go with her to talk to the Ventura people because he needs something to believe in. She is overjoyed and he furls his brow. I bet he’s got an idea to start his own cult, that or blackmail this one.....
Lore flashes back to Al then Ern but tells herself she shouldn’t listen to either of them because they both failed her somehow.
Zully up in the middle of the night eats and notes that Omar is not home yet.
Speaking of O, Greta whores herself up and soon Omar shows up. He agrees she knows how to drive a man crazy. He feels like a new man around her, she agrees he is. Only their desires rule in this room.
The next day at breakfast they discuss how Omar never came home until 4 am. Lore feels bad he worked so much. Omar comes out and overhears that his Ma came by and learns of the forgiveness and wondered why he only just heard. They argue about him not being around etc and Lore doesn’t want them to fight. Julian comes out and they mention the business and Omar wonders what else he doesn’t know about. Lore says they are not going to fight, and then Omar leaves not even eating breakfast.
Di says it’s one thing that he worries about the business but another altogether that he pays no attention to them. They all agree he’s changed. If they only knew....
Vasco goes to see his Abue she confesses and tells him that she paid Bruno to marry Di.
Jaime and Maru chat about the business and he reaffirms that despite the business he wants her for his wife as soon as possible.
Omar and Greta are chatting at the office and Omar admits he feels Agobiado and that he’s risking too much, the love of his family. Greta thinks it’s only the routine and boredom and his kids are adults so they are ok, and she asks nothing of him. They smooch again.
Abue begs for his forgiveness, he gives her hell. Finally someone refuses to pardon her.
Ern and Jime are chatting and the kids ask her if she can stay and draw with them but she doesn’t know how to well. The kids say Lore draws well. She gives Ern circus tickets and feels bad she was the cause of Lore being upset.
Lore offers to be in charge of Zully’s diet so she will eat better and be healthy and around longer and not calming her nerves with food.
Jaime and his lawyer are kwetching about how high all these bills are when the Health Department shows up and says they are shutting down Banquetes Armendariz for good. Oh come on. At the risk of being non-pc, people get food poisoning all the time in Mexico, they don’t even do permanent close downs in the US unless you neglect to correct a problem or fail too many times. Anyway, if I had a dime for every time....
Vasco is indignant to his Abue and talks to his ma that this is the limit for him. She tries to convince him that he should stick with helping the business because it’s his inheritance, but he reminds her he never cared about materials things. Uh, yeah, because he grew up rich and always had them....
Horty shows up to find out that they are done.
Bruno moans to Sara about money and that he’ll have to leave the apartment soon if he doesn’t get more. What the heck? Isn’t this guy a full time doctor? I know he works for a free clinic but he has to have some money. Where the heck did his money go?
Icky meets the Maestro Efrain and the lady of the Ventura society.
Tori at Tai chi gets a massage and Cata gets jealous, he’s had enough of this with Amalia, and yells at her, she agrees she suggested going there, but she didn’t expect he would get hit on.
Jaqui gets "cleansed" by Freezing water and Ephrain. FA! Proclaims Efrain repeatedly, surely to drive out all demons. Icky smirks, but sets up a business meeting of sorts with the lady and tells her not to tell Jaqui. This was actually the best scene....
Vasco meets up with Di at the lesser house. She regrets her marriage and says it was hell but we are divorcing. Vasco is excited to meet baby and swears he would have given her everything. He thinks baby recognizes him and she says of course, he knows his voice for so long.
Lore and Ern chat before class. She got his flowers and cares for him, but she’s not getting back with him, she still doesn’t trust him, she’s very hurt and doesn’t want to suffer. He says they shouln’t do this to each other, they love each other....blah blah....
Zully sees Vasco and he greets her and Nana, Zully tells him he is welcomed back into the lesser home. He notes all the happy news here.
Ern passes out tests and writes a note on Lore’s...asking her if she has a recipe for forgetting because she’s shown him many things except this, of course she passes with a ten. Yeah, love notes on an exam would surely get you fired here!
Patti is happy she passed and shouts she is free of Ern. Later walking she tells Lore she shouldn’t have said that, but she didn’t want to take the class again.
