Her favorite phrase is, "I do not have the vocation of doormat; I will not let anyone step on me."

Santiago
Dr. Santiago Lopez Carmona (Jaime Camil). Santiago is a plastic surgeon of great renown, attractive, friendly and likeable. As a result of being abandoned by his wife, he leads a double life. On one side he is a loving father, and on the other a womanizer with an official girlfriend and constant conquests, but deep down he feels very lonely. He is someone in search of affection, restraint, and love.

Patricio
Patricio "Pato" Molina Lizarraga (Valentino Lanús). Patricio is friendly, cautious and very arrogant with those he considers inferior. The humiliation of being abandoned by Candy, who he truly loved, was a blow to his self-esteem. The news of her death filled him with guilt. He loves his job but feels dissatisfied with life.

Tío Meño
Tío Meño, Candy's uncle, is a very sympathetic and sensitive mature man who lives alone. His wife and family turned their backs on him when he confessed that he was homosexual, and they prevent him from seeing his son. He cares very much for Candy and gives her his full support, which gives her great confidence.

Alicia
Alicia Morales de Molina (Fabiola Campomanes) is Candy's older sister, embittered after a crash cut short her dancing career. She is insensitive, immoral and calculating, and uses people for own advantage, especially Patricio who is powerless against her charms. She is vain; her physical appearance is a high priority.

Marissa
Marissa (Sabine Moussier), Santiago's girlfriend, is vain, insensitive, cold, and calculating, but refined and elegant, educated in the best schools. She always wants to be in the spotlight, and her relationship with Santiago helps to achieve this goal. She knows that he is an excellent catch and wants to marry him as soon as possible.

Raúl – investor; Marissa’s brother; editor. He is a good man who feels alone, and the death of his spouse left him with a great resentment towards life. Women are distant objects for him. He resists love for fear of losing it again. Now he feels an obligation to help his sister Marissa and take care of her.

Arturo and Margarita – Patricio's dad and mom. Arturo is an authoritarian man who enjoys subjugating others, beginning with his own wife. He manages his family as he manages his business, giving orders and abusing power. He is a recovering alcoholic.

Margareta is a woman who runs from reality. She pretends to be happy, and hides the sadness of being married to an alcoholic who denigrates her and is unfaithful. She is afraid of becoming old and resorts to plastic surger, she is much affected by "what people say."

Jaime is a widow with married children. He is an artist, a sensitive man, very affectionate. He lives well off the interest of his money, but he works as a pianist in a hotel lobby bar. Isabel will be his autumn love.




Isabel, Santiago's mother, is absentminded, likeable, a little slow; a "hippie light" who resists the passing of time. Her ideals are still those of the 70s. She is a magic, rather than a tragic, woman. She is a widow, loving her family profoundly and taking care of her grand-daughters in a very special manner. At 60 years of age, Isabel will meet Jaime and have a new encounter with love.

Eduardo is Santiago's close friend and knows all his secrets. He is his anesthetician in surgery and they pass most of their free time together. Eduardo is immature and irresponsible about the consequences of his acts. He doesn't want to hurt his wife Chayo, but he misses the bachelor life and can't keep from stepping out with other women.

Chayo, Eduardo's wife, is a dreamer, with a contagious laugh, who helps others without thinking about it, from her heart. She doesn't doubt Eduardo and believes him until the last word. She is not a fool, but she is very much in love. Her contact with Candy will show her the necessity of getting to know who she herself really is.

Bárbara is a liberated woman, or at least she appears to be. She divorced twice and got a lot of money out of her ex-husbands. She is a psychologist who will work with Candy in the Institute. She doesn't beat around the bush, she is viscerally sincere.



Zamora
Zamora is a skirtchaser, falling in love with all and would marry all of them except for one detail: he promised his mother he would remain single to take care of her. He works as a waiter in Meño's restaurant. He is affable, his speech is confused, he takes life as it presents itself, has a good heart.

Toño is Zamora's opposite, ingenuous, extremely timid with women. He runs to Zamora like a disciple when he needs love advice. They dream of making a fortune in some grand business, but fear it might through them into poverty.




Soledad is Candy's best friend, and Beto's mother. She was employed in Patricio's business and had a relationship with the boss which barely lasted three months and left her pregnant. Since she feels she was not born to work like a donkey, she decides to confront her son's father to get enough money to live well. She has a modest apartment. While Candy struggles to be an independent woman, Soledad seeks a man who will maintain her and not "condemn" her to work.

Tontas Plot Synopsis translated from Esmas.com.

How long can love last in a marriage? Three years? A month? A day?
Candy marries Patricio, the love of her life. She does not imagine that her happiness will last for only a few hours, since on her wedding day she discovers her husband kissing her sister Alicia.

A new life
Candy decided to break all ties with her old life, feign her own death, and take charge of her life. She moved to another town to live with Meño, her beloved uncle, without imagining that she is pregnant by Patricio.

What do you do when you hate men, but you know you need a partner?
Fast forward seven years. Candy has devoted herself to improving her life and raising her son Chava. She has transformed her life and now she is more secure and determined. That's when Santiago appears, an attractive plastic surgeon with a double life. On the one hand he is a loving father - he is raising his daughter alone because his wife left him to pursue her career in fashion design. On the other hand, he is an incorrigible womanizer.

Fear of love?
In addition to their fears, Candy and Santiago need to resolve many differences before they can start a relationship. One threat will be Patricio, now married to Candy's sister, Alicia.

What will happen to Candy? Will she bond with a man who has half the qualities that she needs, or forgive the love of her life and father of her child?

This and other answers will be in Las tontas no van a cielo, a different telenovela that addresses various modern conflicts:
- The emergence of a "new woman", independent and determined.
- The fear of commitment that precludes love.
- Plastic surgery as an option.
- Inner change as a way life.

Las tontas no van a cielo is the first telenovela of Televisa's vanguard, a fun offering that will surely catch your interest.

Crabbi busts Feo on his crime, but he won’t fess up he swears Doc Gomez had heart probs. She says he’s taken things much to far on some of their little plans. She still believes he had something to do with the death of Rosi and Armando since he was missing from their hotel, and despite saying that he was in a bar in Puebla, he always seems to have just the right alibi and this makes her even more suspicious. He reminds her that she isn’t always the victim, she has her dark secrets. She was driving when her ma died, ergo she killed her don’t forget, he knows she was lying.

Abue goes to see Eva because he feels bad about her meeting with Rude. He thinks in time she might be able to tell her that she is her real ma. Eva says she’s not so sure if Crabby keeps turning Rude against her. Abue thinks that her empathy may end soon because the both of them are identical and so alike that Rude could be Crabby’s hija instead of hers. Eva’s just glad Sofi and Juan are over their sad happenings, she tells General that Juan y Soph found their girl. Abue is ecstatic. They toast their coffee.

Said padres are praying in front of the virgin and swearing that their feelings weren’t wrong. Juan admires Sofi, and knew that her prayers brought him back to her and their daughter. That a great force was protecting him even though he didn’t know what it was, he now knows it was hers.

Padre shows up. He knows what Juan did and that Sof believed. He congratulates Juan’s fortitude and that he kept his word.

Abue, too, remarks how their feelings didn’t lie. Gen Abue wants to go see the little girls. They wonder which one it is. Eva as usual pours water on the party and asks what Crabby will say when she finds out. They will go for the sisters as well on their way to the orfanato.

Crabby tells Feo she thinks maybe it was an error to marry him because of his attacks on her. He says he doesn’t attack, he’s on the contrary supported her. He thinks they are both alike and should speak the truth to each other.

Feo apologizes for how horribly he’s treated her. He says if she leaves him, he’s capable of doing something stupid. This he says as he pulls out his weapon. He says if she wakes up with him in the morning, he’ll do what ever she asks. Whatever, he swears..

Padre says they just need to know now which one of the three. Sofi says her heart as a mother knows which one, but she loves all three the same. Yeah right. Juan says whatever she says. He whispers to her. Sofi says yep we are keeping them all, all three will be our girls. Just like that. They grab medallions from the Virgin and Juan all of a sudden flashes back to when he gave Libia her Virgin’s medallion. He tells Sof that he remembers his sister and so they decide in her honor, one thus far nameless nina will carry her name.

They promise to love each other in front of the Virgin. Juan begs that Pad Tad marries them right then. Pad Tad says all in good time, but for now I'll give my blessing.
Crabby is now wondering how far Feo will really got to do anything for her. Her idea is to adopt the three girls. He doesn’t answer but just then it’s announced the Commisario is here to talk to Feo about a certain loose lipped Doc’s death.

Juan and Sofi go to the orfanto to see about the adoption. Uh oh, seems someone else got there first. Dona Crabby had already filled out an approved application.

Commisario knows Feo was the last one to see him alive. Commisario Idiota shows Feo the letter signed by Armando that accuses the Doc and asks whose handwriting it is. Feo of course tells that it’s Dead ARMando’s. He then gets outraged that his gente good do something so horrible. Commi Idiot consults Feo for Crime Solving advice and wonders why Armo never sent the thing. Feo of course has several possible answers for him. Always good sleuthing when you take investigative tips from the town villain.

Madre tells Juan and Sof that there isn’t much she can do now, and besides they aren’t married and the adoption negotiations take a long time. Crabby shows up at the orfanato. Sofi and Juan tell her she can’t adopt their daughter. She doesn’t know what they are talking about. They tell her one of them is theirs. She is guardedly happy about this "miracle" she wonders which it is. Sofi tells her she knows and that’s enough and she can’t have them. Crabby makes up some bs that she wanted to protect the girls and provide for them. Juan says ha, when you haven’t even cared for your own three. She gets mad. She wants to know what Sof will do to figure out which one. She says nothing, they are marrying and taking all three girls.

Crabby won’t permit her to marry Juan and she spouts off in front of the sister. She later apologizes. Sofi tells Crabby to screw off, they are doing what they want. Crabby of course is forced to back down and not adopt in front of the sister. She takes the chance though to call Sofi a sinner. Yikes, if this woman is a sinner I bet most of us are in big trouble.


There is a happy fest as the sisters and Abue show up with gifts. Crabby slinks off in a sulk. Everyone else tells Sofi not to sweat her. They all go off to party.

Pad Tad finds Crab slinking out, he thinks they haven’t been talking lately. The Marias went to see him and told him that she was arguing with the Doc and that he was very upset, and the heard the word crime when they passed by. He wants to know what that was referring to. She says the time of his being her confidant are long gone her confessin’ days are over, good bye.

Feo’s former workers shake him down for some money to leave town so they don’t have to talk. They laugh that he would deny them especially if they might report him. Patron ends up giving his two henchman money to leave. For some reason El Coyote is watching from the woods. Something is to come of this. Maybe a trade of loyalty? That or two deaths... :)

It’s a Watermelon party at the Haci Reyes and they discuss the pending adoption and celebrate that Sofi has agreed to marry him. There is some Franco Sara smoochin’.

Cranny cries to Feo that "they" discovered everything. She’s worried about Bernardo’s will that they will take everything if they find out about that. Feo says they have to think logically. He begs her to leave it to him and have confidence. She’s not alone and as her heir he has a stake in protecting all this from them, and they need to separate Juan and Sofi so they can’t adopt the gals.

Quinti kisses her guys and speaks some English. Pablo gets swat for opening his mouth about the Fiera that has come to town to hurt Eva. The General pardons her but isn’t ready to make her his confidant again. They go back and forth with this but he eventually agrees that they will be a pair again. They toast the Reyes bros.

Feo and Crabby are near the car when Coyote comes up flattering Crabby. Feo tells him to stay away from his wife, but Crabby welcomes the attention from her "friend" Hand kissing by Coyote and he leaves. She tells Feo she could divorce him in a second if he isn’t acting right, she’s still attractive. In fact she’s not going with him. Oh this poor misguided woman.

Sorry, too distracting the toothless dancing in the background, but Eva and Abue discuss the Gen’s suspicions that Crabby and Feo had something to do with this. Eva thinks that’s serious and he shouldn’t say anything to Sof.

Crabby chews out the chatty Kathys er Marias for spilling their tongues. She never wants to see them again. They cry.

Sofi talks about how much her Ma has taken to Rude, and that Crabby would rather have her for a daughter. Sara thinks that’s silly and that she won’t be back. Sofi reminds Sara that Ruth came back to avenge her parents’ hacienda. Sara wonders if there was no clue as to who the murderers of the parents of the Reyes boys were. Sof says yes, the snake belt buckle, Juan as the only witness remembers. They walk off and the villain manages to have heard this conversation and tells us he stole it from the Uribe mansion. Finally a connection for that thing..

Abue goes to see Crabby and he couldn’t imagine she could be so cruel and egotistical as to do this. He thinks she and Feo are involved in the disappearance of Sofi’s girl and that she knows which one of the three is the real hija...

I’m writing this around noon on Sunday, I sure hope that Tontas has episodes all over youtube like this show did. It saved me. I have my monthly evening meeting tomorrow and as usual I forgot to find a substitute. Thank you youtube. If anyone finds Tontas on youtube, please post the link as a topic or in our comments. I think more and more of us are watching episodes online when we miss them at home.

Sara and Bruno have set the stage for Fafy to get in a car accident. I’m sure CSI would solve the crime in 10 minutes, but crime pays in novela-world. Fafy starts his car, fluid leaks out the bottom onto the pavement. Grissom would notice this, then find the knife that cut the line and match up the grooves. Bruno and Sara agree to keep up their normal routing to throw off the cops.

Alonso talks to Lorena on the phone, Alonso wants to pour his heart out. Lorena doesn’t want to hear it just yet, neither does Valeria, who walked into Alonso’s office and overheard. He does get Lorena to agree to meet up later. Alonso the dunce then tells Valeria all about how he is going to win Lorena again. He even asks her for advice. She looks like she wants to throw up but being the awesome doctor that he is, Alonso doesn’t notice. This reminds me of Pamela in Heridas de Amor. She was ten times hotter than any of the other women on the show but was relegated to backup/loser status. Valeria deserves better.

Jimena tries to drive the wedge a bit further, telling Ern that evidence points to Lorena preferring Alonso to him.

Valeria tells Alonso why he’s so awesome and he again doesn’t see that she’s pining for him. They move on to business. They discuss a colonoscopy. How romantic. Alonso drops the friend zone curse on Valeria some more and gives her a kiss on the cheek. Her reaction leaves no doubt as to how she feels but Alonso is stupid.

Ern wants to figure out how to get in with Lorena again.

Jorge shows up to talk to Bettina. I hate this kid.

Felipe shows up with gifts for Saulito. He is trying to come on stronger but it is too strong. Diana is obviously not interested.

Jorge tries to sweet talk Bettina, but she smartly and rightly calls him out as a dog, hitting on his best friend’s girl. I thought she had a better memory than this – Ivan told her specifically that it was Jorge who said love letters were stupid and then Jorge himself wrote one. She has shown herself to be much smarter than that, I hope she remembers soon. If nothing else she should realize this kid is creepy and should rat him out to Ivan. And yes I’m groaning because my baby girl is due in a couple months and some day I’m going to have to fight little rat finks like this kid away from the house.

Vasco and Paty make up from their disagreement the night before, but then Vasco sees Felipe and Diana together. Paty thinks it makes htem almost married, Vasco of course seems to still be in love with Diana.

Oh I really hate this Jorge kid now – I will have to go to dialogue style so this isn’t a paragraph of “he said he and she and he said he” stuff.
Jorge – I only came over here because Ivan said you were broken up already.
Bettina – No, we’re just in a fight.
Jorge – Ivan told me you guys were broken up, not just fighting
Bettina – He said that?
Jorge – it’s about that card he would write, right?
Bettina – none of your beeswax, and your hair looks stupid (ok it was me who said the hair part)
Jorge – yeah I was with him when he wouldn’t write that letter to you, he didn’t write it for you on purpose, to start a fight.
Bettina – it was just an excuse to make us break up?
Jorge – Yeah, well, you’re too little girly for him, he wants someone more mature.
Bettina – I don’t believe you. And you shouldn’t have come here and said all this.
Jorge – Hey open your eyes, Ivan doesn’t want you any more.
Bettina – I don’t want to hear this, get out and take your stupid hair with you.
Jorge says something that sounded like calling her stupid and leaves the room. Loser. I hope Bettina does what normal people would do, and calls Ivan right away to clarify. The whole thing could be resolved in minutes and stupid hair Jorge could be sent packing, but I’m sure they will fight until the Gran Final (which was just announced as being on Friday Nov 28, the day after Thanksgiving).

Diana says thanks to Felipe for the gift, but seems like she wants him to leave. Paty and Vasco arrive, Paty makes sure to lay a big kiss on Vasco to mark her territory. Vasco asks to go inside and see Zulema, Diana follows him in, leaving Paty and Felipe outside. Felipe is upset because nothing he is doing is working with Diana, he thinks she’s still in love with Vasco. Paty tells him to keep trying, harder and harder, obviously not caring if he succeeds as long as it keeps her away from Vasco. Paty even gets mad at Felipe for wanting to throw in the towel. In the end Felipe says forget it. Paty looks pissed.

Stupid hair Jorge runs into Ivan out on the street outside Bettina’s house and makes me hate him more. He tells Ivan he was there because Bettina found HIM in the chatroom online and invited HIM over and wants to go out with him. He claims to have shot her down because of his friendship with Ivan. Ivan says he’s here to apologize for not writing the love letter. Jorge says don’t bother and leads him away. Come on Ivan! I don’t want 8 days of this.

Vasco acts a little jealous about Felipe, on the inside Diana exults. They make small talk back and forth while each thought bubbling how much they want each other if the other one would only make a move. Vasco accepts a cup of coffee and they look dopey at each other.

Sara is in the office and gets a call on her cell phone looking for Fafy. She says she doesn’t know where he is. After hanging up, she realizes that being at work on a Sunday will make her look quite suspicious, so she decides to leave. Out in the hall, someone sneaks up behind her and grabs her, covering her mouth. Snap her neck! Oh no, it’s just Fafy. He came to get her. Why did he grab her that way? He wants her to go shopping with him. Of course she doesn’t want to get into the car. Fafy tells her that before he left the house, Santiago showed up and wanted to be his caddy, so they came in Santiago’s car. They stopped off to look at some horrible beast of a car from the 70s. I think Santiago wants to buy it and wants Fafy to check it out. Something happened, there was an accident or something, somehow in all this his golf clubs got ruined and now he needs to buy some new ones. Sara wants to be anywhere but getting into this car, dripping brake fluid or whatever all over the pavement.

Lorena meets up with Alonso at the mall, he cluelessly starts in on her again about how much he loooooves her and she’s getting tired of it. She shuts him down again. But of course she keeps doing that smiley so obviously flattered thing she does, so why she expects him to stop I have no idea. Probably the same reason all the pretty girls do that, no matter how much they torture someone, they are gluttons for attention.

Bettina is looking at her e-mail and stressing. Paula wants to know what’s up, Bettina fills her in – Ivan’s friend is after her, now he sent her an e-mail saying the same thing, yes he knows about Ivan but doesn’t seem to care. She tells Paula that supposedly Ivan thinks she’s immature, Paula says Bettina is more mature than she herself is! Paula tells her to be careful, this kid sounds like bad news.

Alonso must be whipped, because he is willingly following Lorena around while she looks at clothes. I guess Lorena is trying to find something for Zulema. Alonso buys her a scarf, pushing his agenda all the while. Leaving the store, Lorena asks what he needs to shop for now. He makes up something stupid, she figures out he just came to see her and he admits it. Man is she dumb. She thinks a guy who is totally in love with her will actually, voluntarily, not act on it. Yeah right. She agrees to having coffee.

Sara is aiming a gun at Fafy in the sporting goods store, wishing he would invite her to a safari so she could shoot him. Bruno calls and Sara fills him in on Santiago saving Fafy by accident. Turns out the store doesn’t have golf clubs. The lady at the store calls Sara Fafy’s daughter, Sara loudly says she isn’t his daughter and Fafy says she’s his girlfriend. Then Sara for some reason gets mad at Fafy for saying that. ??? She gets mad at being called daughter, then mad at him for saying she’s his girlfriend. Nope, still doesn’t make sense. Perhaps she’s coming unglued.

Alonso and Lorena have some cold drink that is clear and certainly not coffee. He tries to talk love with her again and she tells him to knock it off. AGAIN. Sara and Fafy take a table near them. Alonso sees and tells Lorena to casually look around, which she does. The ‘look casual’ part is pointless, as Sara has spotted them and is just staring her evil glare. Fafy is trying to talk her down from her anger in the store, Sara just fumes about Lorena being there with Alonso. She is cursing Lorena, Fafy thinks she’s cussing about the woman at the store. Alonso and Lorena STARE at them as Fafy plants a kiss on Sara. I was waiting for them to say ‘EWWWWWWWWW!!!’ like I did, but no. Sara is humiliated. She stares at them some more. Lorena and Alonso decide they don’t have to leave just because Sara showed up. Sure you don’t HAVE to but I think I would anyway.

Ern is grocery shopping and is accosted by a heavy woman who wants to tell him how handsome he is. The lady is sure that he and Lorena are in love with each other, they can tell from seeing them on TV. Ern denies it all and says they hate each other. He keeps looking over his shoulder, as the worst detective in the entire world pretends to shop behind him. Wearing a long coat and hat in the middle of the same store where everyone else is wearing short sleeves. He’s nervous about being caught by THIS guy? Give me a break.

Alonso and Lorena watch Sara and can’t believe who she’s with. Sara is just dying from embarrassment.

Ern runs into Maruja and Rosy, he whispers about the detective and Rosy and Maruja launch into a loud attack on him about the horrible things he did to Lorena. On his way past them, he winks and whispers ‘thank you’. For good measure, Rosy yells “Maldito!” after him as he walks away. Then she and Maruja laugh and give each other a high five. Funny scene.

Sara continues to fume. She wants to leave. Fafy says he’s going to the bathroom, he doesn’t want to leave. I have to say that I am sick to death of seeing Sara’s face. I’m tired of it. All she does is gripe and curse. Alonso gets the bright idea for he and Lorena to act like they are together, to torture Sara. Yeah Alonso I see where you’re going with this and I have to say GREAT move. Lorena totally falls for it (as I said before she can be stupid). Alonso wastes no time cuddling up and planting a big kiss on Lorena. Well played Alonso, well played. Excellently played. When Lorena backs off she tells him that she is going to smack the hell out of him once Sara isn’t watching. Alonso says “it was to convince her!” Lorena of course doesn’t believe it, but then smiles at him like you’d smile at a kid who did something bad but backed it up with good logic. And she wonders why Alonso keeps trying. When you keep rewarding him, Lorena, he’s going to keep coming back for more. DUH.

Greta is getting drunk, Jimena on her end of the phone call talks loudly about Lorena in earshot of Ern’s kids, how Lorena is now with Alonso, apparently. The kids scowl. What an evil woman. Back on her end, Greta whines about Omar. Blech.

Alonso flirts with Lorena, who is trying to be tough with him. She’s not selling it very well. Alonso doesn’t care, he tells her he loves her a few times. Fafy comes back to his table, he can tell Sara is having some issue with Lorena and Alonso at the other table. I might even think that Fafy is getting the tiniest bit tired of Sara. She claims to not be staring at the other table, Fafy tells her he’s not stupid, don’t treat him as if he is. He wants to know what’s up with those two at the other table. She finally spins some story about Lorena being her sister who betrayed her so horribly! Lorena and Alonso decide to leave, they walk past Sara grinning right at her and laughing. Heh. Nice one. Outside the food court, Lorena tries to act mad at Alonso but he isn’t having it. She pushes him off a bit, he doesn’t take it well and acts pouty. He claims AGAIN that he won’t push any more. He also says he isn’t going to pretend with Sara any more since he thought she was all alone but here she is with her lover. He’s staying away from her completely. Good call Alonso. Wow how many times have I congratulated Alonso on a good move or decision today? I just realized. Wow.

Sara continues her tale of woe to Fafy, who tries to act like he cares but fails. He gets the same look that he gets when Santiago won’t shut up. He says she left, let’s move on. Sara won’t move on. She wants to cry and whine some more. Fafy rightfully says wtf, you have everything you want now, get over it! He says losers stay hung up on the past, winners move forward. She promises to move on, totally lying.

Hortensia visits Omar in his bachelor pad, which looks very depressing. Hort reminds him that it was his cheating before the coma that is the problem, not what happened later. We all agree I think. He beats himself up a bit over what he did.

Jimena wants to send Greta to rehab. She needs it. Who is watching her kid while she drinks and cries? Jimena tells Greta that of course Omar bailed after the scenes Greta made with his family. Greta cries over her lost friends. Jimena says that they weren’t her true friends, but Greta says that they were. Yes they really were, Greta is the one who screwed it all up. She continues to whine about ending it all. Jimena tells her to shut up about that or she’s not coming over any more.

Rosy and Marjua tell Zulema about their adventure at the grocery store. They then discuss how much they all want to have sex with Ernesto. Well they talk about how much they want Lorena to choose Ern, but hearing them, Rosy and Maruja at least, they want a roll for themselves first, it sounds like. Zulema drops the news that Lorena is hanging out with Alonso. They think the balance is tipping towards Alonso. Zulema now wants to know what’s up with Rosy and Julian. Rosy accidently mentions the baby, Zulema says Lorena already told her, Rosy laments that nobody can keep a secret. They all smile and hug a lot.

Raimundo and Paula together visit with Toribio at Paula’s house. They all get along well. The Riamundo relationship seems to be going well.

Alonso visits with Bettina. She tells him about the boys. They both think that Jorge is up to no good. Bettina wants to discuss it with Ivan but she doesn’t want to go to him to ask. Alonso advises her to find him and talk it out.

Raimundo says goodbye and timidly kisses Paula. Toribio turns around so they can kiss properly. After he leaves, Toribio says his instinct is that Rai is loco – loco in love with Paula. Ha ha ha oh Toribio you card. Paula says she’s all fluttery for Raimundo. Toribio is happy to see Paula happy and says soon Alonso will be back with Lorena and all will be well.

Lorena gives Zulema the new clothes she bought for her, with help from Diana. She tells Zulema how Alonso won’t shut up about loving her. Zulema says Alonso is like that, just like Felipe with Diana. Diana says Felipe’s nice, but…. Lorena says “yeah he isn’t Vasco.” Diana agrees without actually agreeing and changes the subject. Zulema manages to accidently tell Diana that Rosy is pregnant. Now everyone knows except for Julian. Which is totally not fair but I guess I understand. Lorena worries for a bit about Sara.

Sara wakes up calling ‘Alonso’. Bruno comes in saying Fafy drove off in the car. For some reason Sara is worried, but Bruno is happy about it. Bruno is ready to celebrate right here and now. Sara is very worried, I guess about getting caught.

Ern plays with a video camera in the kitchen.

Sara shows up at Alonso’s house and yells at him for lying to her. Alonso calls out her lies right back.

Bruno calls Sara and tells her voicemail that he’s at the office, where is she? He barges into Sara’s office and finds Fafy there. Fafy asks him, “what are you doing here at my company, Bruno?” Great question.

Preview – Ern uses the video camera to catch Sara admitting something, Fafy figures out that Sara is bad news.

PJ/S takes a shower and changes after work before going down to the bar. He was just looking at himself in a full-length mirror. What is he looking at now? Another mirror? a clock?


Antonio decides that he needs to go see Gaetana and he borrows Simón's motorcycle. Who should he see when he arrives but PJ/S.


PJ/S talks to Antonio. Antonio says that the most logical explanation is that PJ/S and Gaetana are extortionists who are taking advantage of the situation at the Donoso house. PJ/S says that it is a good possibility and if he tells people that, they'll believe him. He asks if Antonio is going to tell everyone that.


Antonio says that he doesn't believe PJ/S and Gaetana are swindlers. He believes that there is no explanation other than that Salvador is PJ come back from the dead and he is terrified of him.

We start with some leftovers from Wednesday’s episode…..Marichuy visiting Vicente and then going to see Rocio in the hospital. Isa and Stefania discuss her plans to use Mayita to make in roads with Juanmi….

Marichuy is in with the pre-op drugged Rocio. Marichuy is holding her hand and not saying much and Juan Miguel walks into the room. They stare at each other and the theme song plays in the background as we the audience realize they are pining for each other. MC gets up to leave and JM tells her that there is no need for her to run away from him. She says that’s not the case, she’s got to go to work. He brings up how she shouldn’t need to work with the maintenance she’s getting in the divorce. She tells him that she doesn’t want to take it. He insists that the law says she’s entitled to it, therefore she should take it. She’s adamant, she doesn’t want the money. Juanmi asks why not, does she want to end up out on the street again, with them one day having to call him to tell him she’s in jail. She retorts that believe it or not, if she were to spend the rest of her life behind bars, she would never let them bother JM with her plight.

Stefania tells Isa that she plans on talking to Onelia to get some more info to advance her “operation nab husband” plan into action. Isa is worried that Onelia is dangerous and she warns Stef to be careful with her. One mistake and Onelia will discover their plan. Stef doesn’t worry. However, Isa continues to still be afraid one wrong step and everything will fall apart. Stef assures her tia that it will all be okay. Isa says again that she doesn’t want their plan to be discovered, it would be the end for them both. Stef says both of us? Remember it was your plan all along. This obviously upsets Isa as she realizes that Stef will hang her out to dry to save her own skin. Stef changes the subject and brings up how Mayita says that Viviana is alive and that she’s talked to her.

Mayita finds out from Balbina that Cuate has gone back to living with Marichuy. She has a temper tantrum.

Juanmi tells Mari that they are acting like children and should behave like the adults that they are. They were married and MC is therefore provided a maintenance. She scoffs that what does the law know, they were only together for one night. Juanmi gets a dreamy look in his eyes and says that it was a night that was very special. MC is affected by his words, but she tells him that it may have been that for him, but she’s willing to forget it. He asks her if she’s sure, he’d like to repeat that one night a thousand times over, it was sweet and they were so happy. They stare into each other’s eyes and Cecilia comes to the door of the room but turns around immediately sensing she’d be interrupting something.

Viv is on a plane, heading back to Spain. She thinks over her plans to seduce Gustavo once she gets there and too bad for her friend Leticia. That’s life, she thinks.

Padre Anselmo discusses Marichuy with Adrian. PA encourages Adrian to give MC some space and let her sort out everything with Juanmi. Adrian says that she needs to stay away from him and she’ll never forgive him for what happened. PA says that in reality, nothing happened. Juanmi was intoxicated and hugged her and kissed her a little too forcefully, but that’s the extent of it. She was young and it left a terrible impression on her, but it should be something she can work through. Especially since JM is sorry for his aggression and having caused trauma to MC.

JM and MC draw into each other, nearly kissing, but Mari takes this as her time to back away and leave. Cece is hovering outside and she enters the room as MC is leaving. Alone with Juan, she asks him if the separation is a definite thing. JM says yes it is. Well, it didn’t seem that way to me when I got here- Cece states. They have things to work out, but that’s all, JM concludes. Cece adds that the attitude of both of them seemed like things aren’t over. She asks JM if he still cares for MC and he says yes, he does. Cece thinks what does this mean for Stef, who’s hell bent on winning Juanmi back.

Stef is over at the castle and she’s brought a teddy bear to Mayita, trying to bribe her. Mayita tells Stef about Cuate being taken away and how MC left everything else there, but took the dog. Stef says that’s because MC is bad.

Mari returns home and finds Cande collapsed at the kitchen table with beans spilled all around her. The neighbors gather and Padre Anselmo says that this is serious and Cande’s going to need to stay in the hospital. Coincidentally, it will be the same hospital where Rocio and Vicente are staying. They discuss how Cande’s been working too hard and that had to contribute to her collapsing.

Onelia and Stef plan on tossing out the things that Marichuy left behind. Stef is convinced that MC left them there as a future pretext for returning.

Vicente goes to see Rocio before her operation. She’s taken into the operating room and Vicente heads back to his room.

Cande gets admitted into the hospital and she tells Padre Anselmo that she’s never been sick before. He tells her that there’s a first time for everything. She worries about Marichuy. Cande wonders when she’ll get out of the hospital and PA tells her she’s got to stay there as long as the doctors order.

MC runs into Eduardo in the hospital corridor. He wonders what she’s doing there and she tells him that Cande’s been admitted. He finds out what room Cande’s in and then runs back to Juanmi and Cece and fills them in on the latest.

Cece decides she’s going to visit Cande. Meanwhile, PA decides he’s going to check on Rocio. The two pass each other in slo-mo in the corridor. Padre Anselmo does a double take when he sees Cece, but he keeps walking—it is like he can’t quite figure out where he knows this woman from, but he knows he recognizes her.

When Cece gets to Cande’s room, Mari doesn’t want to speak to her, but Cande insists that MC not be rude.

PA finds out that Rocio’s gone into the operating room. JM finds out more info on Cande’s condition from the priest. He tells PA that Mari refused her maintenance. PA says that’s not surprising. JM says well she’s going to need the money now, especially with Cande being sick. JM proposes that PA take the money and pass it onto MC, not telling her what part JM has in the whole arrangement. PA doesn’t agree, he assures JM that there are plenty of people in the barrio that care for MC and Cande, they’ll make sure the are cared for properly.

Cece offers to help Cande in anyway necessary. Marichuy tells her that they don’t need anything, so don’t worry. Cece says she’ll return soon to check back in on her. Cande says she hopes that she won’t be in the hospital too long and Cece says she hopes that too. MC tells Cande that she’ll be in there as long as the doctors tell her to be there. Cece leaves and Cande comments what a shame it was the way that Cece treated MC when she lived with them. MC says actually Cece was very nice to her, but she was hard pressed and had to believe Stef. Besides, it was Stef and the evil aunt that really made things terrible for MC. Cece always treated her like a real daughter, she just couldn’t side with her against Stef.

Juanmi and Padre Anselmo go to check on Cande. They almost pass Cece again in the corridor, but Cece sees the back of PA and there is a spark of recognition on her part. When Cece gets to Rocio’s room she gets some info from the chismoso Eduardo. He tells her that Padre Anselmo is a family friend and that Marichuy will not take a maintenance from Juanmi. Cece asks why they broke up, but Ed decides to hold his counsel and doesn’t tell Cece the details. Cece adds that she’s sorry to be nosy, but she really does care for MC, as if she were her daughter.

MC tends to Cande. She leaves the room and literally runs into Juanmi. He says he was coming to find out what’s going on with Cande. MC says don’t bother, she’s nothing to you. They argue a bit more about MC’s refusal to take the maintenance. Then MC faints and Juanmi catches her. He repeatedly asks, “what’s wrong mi amor?” She comes to and Juanmi continues to hold onto her. Stef walks up and catches them “embracing”. She demands to know what’s going on and JM tells her that Mari fainted. Stef mumbles that MC is an opportunist when they head back into Cande’s room. Stef heads in another direction, to find out news of Rocio and learns the operation is over and that JM’s sister is being brought back to her room.

In Cande’s room, Juan fusses over Mari. Telling her that she’s pale and checking her pulse. He says she should get checked out and suggests that MC consider having Ed take a look, he’s in the hospital now. Juan urges MC and Cande to come to him if they need anything. He insists that they give him a call. Neither looks like they’ll take him up on the offer. Stef comes in the room at this point and tells JM that Rocio is out of surgery. Cande learns that she’s the meddlesome Stef and has a few choice words for her. Stef leaves and JM tells Cande he’ll be back to check on them. Stef (out in the hall) tells Juanmi they need to hurry or Rocio will be waking up and wondering where Juan is. Cande and MC exchange a look, they’ve got Stef’s number. JM reluctantly heads out, trailing behind Stef.

When JM sees Rocio, she tries to talk. He tells her to not talk, but assures her that the surgery went well. She asks for Vicente and JM tells her that he’ll be along soon.

Cande asks MC if she’s doing any better. Mari starts to describe how she felt when she fainted. She says it is just like when she rode the roller coaster at Chapultepec Park. Her description seems to give Cande a bit of nausea and Cande wonders if what MC is describing is how pregnant women are supposed to feel. This leaves MC a little impactada, but Cande moves on and says that can’t be the case with you, there must be another reason you aren’t feeling well. Cande asks if MC ate an appropriate breakfast and they determine that with all the work she’s done, she needs to eat better. Cande urges MC to go see JM’s friend, as long as he’s in the building. Marichuy looks like this would be the last thing on earth she’d ever do.

Vicente goes to see Rocio and tells her not to speak, he’ll be there for her. She should just rest. Rocio ends up having quite the crowd with JM, Cece, Stef, Mercedes, Ed and Vicente all visiting. Cece says that she’ll leave and asks Stef if she’d like to go with her. Stef declines and says that she’ll remain with JM.

Cece goes to say goodbye to MC and Cande. She tells them to let her know if they need anything. MC makes some comment that I missed, but it had to do with what happened before when MC needed her. Cece apologizes and says that she doesn’t know who was right or wrong in what ever transpired between Stef and Marichuy, she just knows that she wishes MC would still be near her, because she’s like a daughter to her. She gestures as if to caress MC’s hair and leaves. MC is obviously affected by Cece’s words.

The next day Amador comes to visit MC early in the morning. She’s busy getting laundry done and Amador is once again telling her she’s working too hard and that he’d like her to act in his play (he just wants her on the casting couch, I have no doubt). She’s not interested and tells him to go. He reminds her that he can make her a star and he leaves his business card with her.

JM and Ed discuss Marichuy’s fainting the day before. JM says it has to do with the heavy load she’s carrying now that Cande’s sick.

Viv is back in Spain. She is greeted warmly by Leticia and, when Gustavo isn’t as receptive, Viv asks if he’s not happy to see her. He says she’s always welcome in their house. Viv lies about having problems with Juanmi and works it so that Leticia offers to let her stay a few month.

Marichuy heads out to do deliveries and she comments on the hard work involved in doing laundry. She accepts it as the lot of poor people. Afterward, she ends up going to visit Cande in the hospital and wants to give her the money. Cande insists MC keep it since it is from her hard work. MC tells her that it is clear now what she’s got to do, she’s got a plan for them to live without money problems.

Adrian accepts a letter for Marichuy. It is a summons from a tribunal. When MC returns home, he gives it to her and she speculates what it means.

Juanmi gets a similar letter. He opens it and takes off and goes to find Onelia. He demands to know “what is the meaning of this.” END OF EPISODE

Santos doesn't realize until Antonio tells him that Marisela and Lorenzo are going interpret his announcement that DB is his woman to mean that he will bring her to live at Altamira. Santos goes off to rectify this and Antonio is frustrated once again in his goal to tell Santos about his relationship with Cecilia. Santos tries to reason with Marisela and Lorenzo through their closed doors.

Meanwhile Cecilia returns to Altamira. When Antonio comes in, she slaps him. That was a short reconciliation. Cecilia tells him that Federica is pregnant. She says that she believed in him that he was telling the truth but if he was capable of deceiving her, he was capable of sleeping with Federica. He has made her look ridiculous by insisting that Federica give a urine sample and then have the pregnancy test turn out positive. Cecilia stalks off leaving Antonio impactado.


DB warns BP that he had better accept Santos as the boss at El Miedo and if anything, no matter how small, happens to Santos, BP will be dead and buried.

Poor Cecilia is having a really bad day. She finds Santos outside of Lorenzo's door and Santos tells her that Lorenzo and Marisela are packing to leave Altamira because Santos told them that he was in love with DB. Cecilia asks. "What the hell is going on with you men! Why do you do such bad things? Why do you have to get involved with evil, crazy women! Do men ever think, Santos? Why do they have brains, then? And you had to tell me this today? Not tomorrow? You couldn't tell me yesterday! Today! Today!" Confused by this outburst,

Santos asks what difference it makes. Cecilia says that it does make a difference because today is a horrible day and she can't break her heart twice in one day! Cecilia tells Santos that if Marisela and Lorenzo leave Altamira because of DB, she will leave too.

Melendez tells Chepo that he will give him a job working just for him.

Santos reassures Marisela, Lorenzo and Cecilia that he won't bring DB to Altamira. He announces that he will go live at El Miedo.

Santos tells Marisela, Lorenzo and Cecilia that he is responsible for his actions and if the makes a mistake, he is mature enough to be able to recognize his errors and not hide behind a bottle or blame his misfortunes on a woman. Lorenzo furiously attacks Santos but his dicky heart betrays him.


Federica is exultant that she is pregnant and wants revenge on Cecilia for embarassing her in front of the whole town. Josefa says that Federica was lucky to get the bun in the oven so opportunely. She asks who the father is and Federica says that it is one of the Altamira vaqueros.


Antonio tells this same group of sperm donors that he has lost the love of his life. He can't understand how Federica got pregnant. He was too drunk. And if not him, then who?


Marisela tells Cecilia that what happened to DB helped her get Santos. It made him feel sorry for her and now he he will go to live with her. Cecilia says that pity isn't the same as love and when Santos no longer feels sorry for DB, they will see what happens.


Santos goes to El Miedo. Eustaquia tell him that she is concerned about DB. She says that DB needs a lot of love and care to get over the humiliation of what happened. Santos says that he will provide it. Eustaquia hopes that Santos' love will make DB a normal person.

Santos tells DB that he has been fighting with everyone at Altamira because of her and that he has decided to come and live at El Miedo. DB is ecstatic.


After Santos leaves, DB makes Eustaquia help her get to her dressing table. She says that she has to look nice for Santos. He is the only thing keeping her alive.


Santos asks Marisela to give him a goodbye hug and to give him her good wishes but she refuses.

Eustaquia tells DB that from now on she has to be open and honest with Santos so he isn't driven away. DB promises that she will change. She says that Santos is preoccupied about leaving Altamira. She wants to get rid of that preoccupation so she tells Eustaquia to get Juan Primito to open up the wall where she keeps her money.

Santos takes his leave of Altamira. Marisela won't say goodbye but she watches him leave.


Santos arrives at El Miedo. He goes to see DB and finds two big boxes of money on her bed. In response to his asking what all this is, DB says that it is hers and now it is his as well. She got it out to make him happy. She wants him to know that now he is the master of everything that belongs to her. Santos replies that he doesn't want her money. He wants to love her. DB tells him to love her but to let her give him everything that it has cost her so much to accumulate, everything that she has fought for all her life. DB says that now she understands why she wanted all this, to be able to give it to a man who loves her like Santos does, who accepts her in spite of herself and in whom she can have total confidence. DB tells Santos that he didn't only save her from death, he saved her from a life without hope.


Now we find out why Genoveva was so angry when Carmelito came to see Gervasia. She was interested in Carmelito. Carmelito tells Genoveva that he is in love with Gervasia. She is upset. Carmelito says that she deserves someone better than him.


Melquiades is in the capital and finds where Melendez works.

DB tells Santos again that he is her lord and master. Everything she has is his. He has only to ask for what he wants. Santos says that if she really has changed and will do anything for him, he is asking her to return El Miedo to Lorenzo and Marisela. DB is impactada.

I’m sorry about the title, but I can’t ignore what is happening here. I woke up to an orange morning, and to a lot of ashes everywhere. I live to the west of one of the fires and last night I was seeing in the news how the wind kept on moving the fire in our direction. The rational part of me tells me that I have nothing to worry. I’m still at least 4 cities away from the freeway fire (That’s how they are calling the fire in the Corona, Yorbalinda, Anaheim Area), but the irrational part of my brain has already made an inventory of what I would take; cat, bird, turtle, pictures, important papers, lap top, clothes… you get the picture . Anyway it is sad to see so much loss, and having to actually realize what is REALY important has put me in a philosophical mood. I apologize again.

After the rant I present to you for your enjoyment QE. NOW COMPLETE.

Bruno kisses Sara and tries to make out but Sara is not in the mood. Ernesto is hiding in plain sight and realizes that Bruno is not gay. Bruno jokingly tells Sara that he is getting jealous because as of lately, she doesn’t want to do the vertical mambo with him. -Is the old man fulfilling all your needs? Sara is very mad and yells at him to stop bothering her. She tells him that she is fuming because of the humiliation she had to endure on Hortensia’s hands. Bruno tries to play it down but Sara won’t have any of it. She wants revenge and tells Bruno that she wanted to tell Hortensia that she had been the one that had poisoned all the bankers. Of course Ernesto hears this and is shocked, he leaves and doesn’t hear Bruno trying to knock some sense into Sara. He tells her that she should stop obsessing over Lorena, but she yells with all her strength that she can’t, Lorena and Co. have to pay. Bruno doesn’t understand and Sara calls him mediocre. He calls himself practical.

Ernesto has left the loving couple to themselves and thought bubbles (yes ladies and gens, he doesn’t think aloud, we actually got a real thought bubble) that Sara is a monster, she has her two lovers in the same house and Fafy doesn’t even suspects. His first thoughts after his shock wears out is to contact Lorena, she needs to know that Sara is responsible for the demise of “Banquetes Armendaris”

Back to Sara and Bruno. He is getting into his violent mood, he yells at her (again) to stop obsessing, she is risking everything with her attitude, the fact that she is in the will is meaningless unless Faffy dies. Sara yells back that she doesn’t care! All she wants is to destroy Lorena. Bruno wants to know what Lorena did to deserve such hate. -To be born! To be always perfect, to have everything that I want. Bruno says almost to himself -”Estas fregada” you are messed up. He realizes that Sara is mentally ill and tells her that she won’t do anything crazy at least until Fafy dies. Sara tells him that he is a nobody, he can’t tell her what to do. Bruno tells her that he is her conscience, and he’ll stop her from do it anything crazy. He then tells her that she is going apeshit “Estas hecha una energumena” (remember that one guys?) and remembers that she was the same when she lost Alonslow. -you are not thinking about going back with him do you? Sara cools down immediately, she doesn’t Bruno to know that she is talking to Alonslow, and just tells him that she doesn’t want to be reminded of him.

Its morning now over the fair city of Mexico and Valeria is just arriving to her house, she finds Alonslow sleeping in the couch with her little girl. He tells her that Analis had a nightmare and wanted to cuddle. Valeria is very thankful and tells him that now is her turn to cuddle him “Ahora me toca ami apapacharte” do you want to eat breakfast? He says that he is very hungry. (is it just me or the music in the background at the end of this scene is “Pescador de hombres” ? I don’t know the name in English, but it is a song that is used at chuch this is a link to a very modernized version of it. I know that it doesn’t have anything to do with La novela, but I thought it was odd)

At the Hortensia-now-Sara-and Fafy’s house, Fafy wants “breakfast” Sara can’t understand where he gets his stamina.

The other two tell Bruno not to be mean to Javivi “No seas abusadora” Don’t be abusive, (They use the feminine, since Bruno is a man it should have been “no seas abusador” I just thought it was odd, I think they are doing this because they think that Bruno is gay) Bruno looks worried.
