Caray, Caray!

Aldo is heading off to "music school" as we end this episode. And Luisa is headed for trouble if Constanza uses the photos Katja took. And Monita and Mauricio seemed headed for a mini honeymoon but we know something will put the kibosh on that. And the double date of Lorenza/Salvador and Gabriela/Oscar is headed for trouble...for sure!


But let's start at the beginning. Monita's at the gym, After-glow Connie has just come out of the shower; Consteño's sniffing her hot red dress and our Moni draws the obvious conclusion: Connie's favorite color is not red but black.


Both Costeño and Connie hasten to clarify. Not the big guy!...the little guy...Beto. Fireworks are about to erupt but the writers flip us back to the office where Gabriela has lined up the three gray-smocked receptionists like little dolls and is grilling them about the latest gossip. Paula's not going to share any of her night with Christian (and where was Paula's dad during all this?) and Gabriela chides her for being "uña y mugre" (thick as thieves) with Lorenza. Paula chides right back that Gaby is going with a married man. A soon-to-be-divorced man, corrects Gaby. Whoops. Lorenza has appeared. End of conversation.


Beto's protesting his innocence even though Monita notices he's wearing his same clothes from yesterday. So what? Sometimes he doesn't change his clothes for a week. (We have no problem believing this. Evidently neither does Monita.)


Beto was teaching me to box, purrs Constanza. It was so...strenuous...I needed to take a shower afterwards. After flinging down THAT particular gauntlet, Connie tosses out another. If you think I'm going to give up Mauricio without a fight, think again! I'll lower myself to YOUR level and fight with fists if need be. They start to go at it, but Beto warns Connie off. Monita in a fist fight will pound you to the ground, he warns. (And certainly with one hand gripping her towel, our Connie would be at a real disadvantage.) We get a quick ad here, which hopefully will allow the closed captions to catch up. They were running about 5 minutes behind.


Okay, we're back and so are the closed captions. Monita snarling that Connie doesn't have the "agallas" (guts) to fight her. Connie ripostes that she'll put her in her place. My place is with Mauricio, coos Moni. Score! But when you're ready for a fight, come get me, she adds. The scene ends delightfully with Connie going "quéquéquéqué and doing a tongue-roll duet with Beto. These two are meant for each other! (carnally speaking anyway)


Another carnal couple, Lorenza and Oscar, are making discreet plans in the office. She's suggesting he make a play for Gabriela so no one will suspect they making salacious whoopee on the side. However, if he actually touches Gabriela, she warns, he'll die. (Oscar looks truly worried....and turned on.)


Tulips arrive with the mysterious note. "Para que nuestro secreto florezca." You can figure that out, can't you? But the gals can't. Paula, Gaby , Monita and Lorenza all decide the flowers are for them. But Lorena walks off with them. Don't mess with the schizo!


While the females battle over the flowers, the menfolk are talking about the planned business trip to Merida. (Look up the Wikipedia reference on it. It's interesting.) Mauricio wants to stay home and nurture Monita in her grief but Jerry needs him to get out of town so the noxious trio can hatch their latest plan to deep-six the adoption. He comes up with the grand idea of Mauricio taking his personal assistant/novia with him. Mauricio's on board, and once he convinces Moni she can train in the gyms and lovely parks of this former Mayan colony, she's on board too. They have some little exchange where she misunderstands and thinks he's going to show her some "teiboleras" (table dancers) but that's quickly cleared up. Culture, only culture... and maybe a little romance on the side.


A short sweet scene with Gaby and Sal. I love this couple. She thanks him for the tulips. He didn't send them. Who did then? No no, I'm not a gossip, just have a lot of innocent curiosity. He kisses her briefly...but quite thoroughly...and then says "Off with you, gossip girl". For some reason, that scene just entranced me. Oh heck, I'm a sucker for mature/old folks romance.


Fake romance? Not so much. Oily Oscar is out propositioning Gaby for dinner that night. She says "no". Lorenza ups the ante. Not interested in Oscar anymore? You must be dating someone else, no? Er, no. Well, fine. Clearly Oscar's crazy about you. Tell you what! Sal and I will join you and all four of us will go out to dinner. Oh no. Oh yes. Oh dear.


And now to more skullduggery. Constanza, playing the generous employer, is giving her salesgirls the afternoon off. They're confused and suspicious. So are we. Enter Luisa and Katja. Connie pretends to be desperate for help (these salesgirls are sooo unreliable), will you gals fill in for me this afternoon? Of course. As soon as she leaves, perfidious Katja persuades Luisa to start trying on the lingerie while she posts a "Closed" sign on the window. This can't be good. In fact it looks like one of thse PSA announcements about not putting intimate photos on cellphones. We'll see.


And things are looking bleak in the barrio. Nieves is doing one of her thorough ream-outs of Beto. How could he be getting it on with that "flauta" Constanza!? Me dañas...(say it with me)...bleats Beto. It's your fault you lost Monita, continues Mom, and I'm thinking she's better off without you. Ouch! But bless his little heart, Aldo arrives at that moment with a request that only Uncle Beto can fill...Help me be with a woman, he pleads. Beto's confused and thinks for a moment Aldo's looking for a sandwich date. But he finally understands he just needs a guide to getting some professional experience. No problem. More to come.


Back at the lingerie boutique, Katja has a brief moment to redeem herself. Luisa is telling her how she didn't like her at first, but now that she knows her and knows what a great gal she is..... Guilty look. But then Katja forges ahead. Let's take photos. Just for us. And they're off. Quite a montage with both girls suddenly looking much older, much sexier, and very seductive. Oh no. Oh yes. Oh dear.

Another cute little scene at the office between Salvador and Gabriela musing about how they'll get through the gruesome foursome date planned that evening. Salvador growls that it's a "locura" but somehow it seems like an endearment. Ah, what a couple.

Just before the next ad break, we have a cozy family scene. Mau's going to Meridia and the girls want to go along. Well, how about if he goes with Monita since the kids can't miss school. Great idea. Aldo deftly slips in a request for cash to go out with his buds that night (who can say "no" with the prospect of a honeymoon at hand?) but Mauricio does put down some rules. Ivan has to go with him and drive him...and no alcohol. Mau and Monita will take a taxi to the airport.

While Dany and Luisa help their dad pack, Estrella and Paula are doing the same with Moni. They remind her she doesn't have to take soap. The hotel will have some. (I blush to admit that when I went off to Europe at 19, green as they come, I packed soap and shampoo and lotion for a year! Like they didn't have those things in Europe. Oh my!)

And at Constanza's apartment, she and Jerry (and a clearly uncomfortable Katja) are checking out the incriminating photos while a delighted Jeronimo requests some "close" (close-ups).

Enough of that scene. Back to the barrio where guard-dog Beto is vowing to keep Mauricio from kidnapping Monita. There's a brief, hysterical scene of the two men trying to fight, while their feet slip around like they're on grease. The onlookers decide they should throw water on those "dogs" but even that doesn't stop Beto. Christian finally has to taser him, and Paula's so entranced with the weapon, she wants one herself. Beto does a good imitation of an epileptic fit and funny though it is, let's not forget there have been some fatalities with these arms. Kids, don't try this at home.

Somehow, in spite of the antler-bashing and taser chaos, Monita and Mauricio take off for the airport, tucked into Christian's squad car with the siren blasting. Pure romance. Estrella waves them off shouting "metale chota, metale chota". I'm going to guess that means "you go girl!" or simply "go for it!" because some of the other possibilities are pretty raunchy. Remember, I don't write this dialogue, I just recap it. (Late night translation from Anonymous 10:02 says "chota" means "cops" so "metale chota" would mean "step on it, cop"...telling Christian to hurry our loving couple to the airport.)

That leaves us with a soggy Beto and a mournful Nieves. He's trembling with rage-- and maybe a little leftover taser juice-- and she's resigned. Accept it, son. Things have changed. Monita's in love with a good man. Having new experiences. Becoming a new person. Leaving us little people behind. I'm going looking for some more taser, snarls Beto. That hurts less than what you're saying.

Enter Aldo to the rescue again. Even though Beto (say it with me) BLEATS that "traigo el animo en el piso" (I'm waaay down in the dumps), he can't help but respond to Aldo's need to learn the art of love from an experienced woman. However, our favorite experienced woman, Estrella, overhears this risky plan. Stay tuned. We've gotta get back to the foursome.

They're at the table. Oscar orders wine. Sal orders water so Lorenza can take her crazy pills (otherwise she might KILL somebody, she explains). And she appreciates his thoughtfulness so much, she lays a great big schmoozeroonie of a kiss on him. Oscar retaliates by wooing Gaby with a multitude of sweet nothings, including "If I were a ship lost at sea, the light of your eyes would guide me to safe harbor.". "And what could I say about your lips, you...AH DIOS! a well-aimed Lorenza kick under the table takes Oscar an octave higher and adds real pathos to his love declarations. "Well, that's the effect I have on men, smiles Gaby, looking directly at Sal. Oh no. Oh yes. Oh dear. Oh heck...I love it that Oscar took one in the nether regions.!

Meanwhile, our Nookie Tour Guide is warning Aldo off picking up a woman in the street. You can get the clap that way, trust me, he says. Now in a house, the girls take care of themselves. you'll be safe. And in they go (while a worried Estrella watches from behind a tree)....to a misty, pink bordello cum music school with various sexy ladies draped over a variety of instruments. Lends new meaning to the phrase "foreplay".

Lots of double entendres about stroking harp strings, caressing the violin, blowing on the flute (How about the tuba, chimes in Beto) and finally the promise to turn this "becerro" (calf) into a "toro" (bull) for the straight rate of 3,000 pesos. Ivan and Aldo pool their money and he's in, so to speak. The madame even hints at a discount since she's sure Aldo won't take long to conclude his business. Ivan throws in a timely PSA "sin gorro no hay fiesta" (use protection) and then he and Beto go out to the car to wait.

But oh dear, oh no, oh heck and oh dang....Jerry is there too. And quite miffed he is, since his lady of the night is not playing the part of Constanza very well. Evidently Monita has also been part of his fantasies, and he's even whispered Oscar's name in his sleep. We wait breathlessly for the next installment on THIS story. In the meantime (mientras tanto for you guys) he pops his head out the door and catches sight of Aldo. Ah ha. More ammunition for the adoption fracaso. And as he gleefully phones Connie with the news, we hear the Madame asking Aldo, You ARE 18, aren't you? Oh yes. (But we know...oh no.) And there we end.

Previews:
Mauricio is also whispering sweet nothings...in Mayan for gosh sakes! My closed captions say "Itllacumech" Te amo. Works for me, as does the kiss.
And Connie is warning she wants no slipups as she schemes with Oscar and Jerry.
And does anybody want to bet that somehow Estrella will be behind that door Aldo enters? It's not in the previews and I haven't looked ahead...but...maybe.....

Vocabulary:
I'm guessing on a lot of these. They sure weren't in any of my dictionaries.

paraguas = normally, umbrellas, but used as a metaphor for condoms in this episode.
la cotorrita = appeared to mean carnal congress. Nieves in her denunciation of Beto's behavior with Constanza ; "peinar la cotorrita" lit. comb the parrot but refers to yes, you guessed it carnal congress, having sex etc. (thanks for the translation, Jarocha)
panuchos= yummy little rolls? Estrella was talking about this when she was imagining the trip Mauricio and Monita would take
los lacayos = lackeys. Jeronimos' insult of Salvador
las agallas = guts
uña y mugre = literally, nails and grime. "thick as thieves"
el mensote = idiot, stupe
cabezón =pig-headed
fracaso = failure, big mess-up

Dicho of the Day

Meterse en camisa de once varas = To bite off more than you can chew. To get in hot water. To be in a pickle.
This could apply to Aldo, Luisa and from the looks of it, even our dear Oscar.

Hello campers,

I don't think the new Monday recapper Khavele realized we usually get the recaps up the night of the show. So she was planning to post, evidently - tonight. So in the mean time, if anybody wants to discuss, feel free to use this post. Sorry!

Labels: sortilegio

Friday: Carlota tells Paloma she’s (sniff) changed due to Macarena’s death and now she realizes (sniff) how distant they are, and that she’s going to let Romina stay in the house just because she loves Paloma soooo much. Orlando sees Diana/Gudelia’s photo at Em’s house, realizes that she’s Em’s ma, and does some deep breathing.

And we’re off! At his house, Em comes in with his old university project he was looking for, but he says he didn’t find his ma. Orlando asks what his mother’s name is and Em tells him she didn’t like her real name, so she goes by Diana. Em tells Juanita the maid to tell Diana that he’ll see her that evening.

Meantime Orlando is looking stupefied. Em says what’s up? Orlando says nothing – your mother looks like she has a lot of ummm … personality. Do you get on better with her or your dad? Em says I have more in common with my dad. My mother makes me a little crazy because she’s kinda controlling. Orlando says you must be her treasure, and Em says maybe that’s why she’s that way – I guess all moms are. Jaunita runs in and asks Em to help her with the pilot on the stove, giving Orlando the opportunity to skulk around a bit, then slip the framed photo under his suit coat. (How do you conceal a framed photo under a suit coat and then walk out into the street with it? A question best left unexplored.)

Carlota tells a very doubtful Paloma that she’s not the baddie that Mac made her out to be, and that Mac said those things to strengthen her own relationship with Paloma. But Carlota says she won’t judge. Anyway, Romina can stay with us. Thank you Tia, says Paloma unenthusiastically.

Paloma leaves and Carlota closes the door and gloats. Romina, she thoughtbubbles, you turned out to be way smarter than I had thought. But don’t even imagine that you are using me; it’s me who is using you. And you’ll end up in my debt. Chortle.

Mournful Camila and Angie are having lunch. Camila fills her in on the whole thing – two galans, just dating, thought she could handle it, they both knew, Romina caught her kissing Rafa, etc.

Angie says the problem is you weren’t honest with your daughter. And she’s going to have trouble accepting that you have a boyfriend at all, much less the husband of the lady she’s staying with. Before you talk with Romina, you have to get straight with yourself.

Joel and down-in-the dumps Rafa are in the office – it looks like the new line will be a success, but even that can’t cheer Rafa up. He’s decided to talk to Romina, even if Camila told him not to. Joel points out that he could lose Camila that way. Rafa says what he likes about Camila is that she’s a mother before anything else. If he can fix up her relationship with her daughter, it’s worth losing her. Whadda guy – throwing himself on the hand grenade.

Angie asks Camila which guy she loves. Camila stirs her tea listlessly and says both. But I’ll give up love to get my daughter back. Angie says a sacrifice like that will cost you big. You have the right to both worlds. Romina doesn’t need a perfect mother, just one she knows, one who can goof up in love like anyone else.

Camila wonders if Romina could understand. Angie says who knows? But you have to decide – our culture doesn’t accept someone going with two people for very long. Obviously Angie has never watched The Batchelor. You’re going to have to listen to your heart and decide. Romina looks completely depleted. Angie rubs her arm and says it’s hard, but you can balance your being a mother and a woman.

Diana, wrapped in a headscarf and wearing giant sunglasses, is in a small shop with Inez. She tells Inez she can’t go out these days, then she looks out the door and sure enough, Orlando and Em are on the sidewalk. She ducks back in and says What he’s going to be mad about is not Emiliano, but that I robbed him. Inez says and then Ignacio robbed you. Diana says that’s why I never trusted another man. Inez says not even Rafa – he was like an angel dropped from heaven. If it hadn’t been for him, your life would have been a disaster. You’re just reaping what you sowed.

Rufi is changing the canary cage in the kitchen. Paloma tells her that Carlota is going to let Romina stay, and that maybe she’s judged Carlota too harshly. You think so? says Rufi. She’s really trying says Paloma. Rufi says and she never could stand Romina.

Paloma says she doesn’t want this affecting her relationship with Em, plus she really likes Camila and doesn’t want to hurt her. Rufi says let her stay a few days, and help her reconcile with her mom, then you can talk to Em. Paloma thanks her for being like a grandmother to her. They air-kiss at each other.

Diana comes home and gets a fright. The maid tells her that Em was there with some guy from work. Diana, looking like a cornered rabbit, thinks to herself that it must’ve been Orlando. Dios mio!

At work, Orlando is a bit distracted and fibs to Em that he was just thinking how Em is his partner, yet he knows so little about him. Em, smiley and bouncy as a Disney character, pulls up a chair, eager to oblige. Orlando wants to know where Em’s parents are from. Em says he and his dad are from here, but his mom is from Mexico City. He thinks she came to visit with a girlfriend and his father saw her and they fell in love. Now that they’re divorcing, she wishes she could take Em and go to Monterrey.

Orlando wants to know if it was his father who wanted the divorce. Em says yes, she’d become kind of dependent and demanding. She can’t get over it – she thinks my father should stay forever.

Romina, hanging out with Aron, gets a call from Paloma telling her that Carlota said she could come stay. Romina is gleeful and tells her she’s the best friend in the whole world. After she hangs up, Romina and Aron exult. Aron tells her she would make a great actress. Romina says now I’ll have more control over her, and I’ll tell her that you are a big catch.

Natalia is sitting in a coffee shop, on her cell phone with Chris, telling him all her woes right within the earshot of strangers who seem not to listen in. She tells him Alonso is a real problem since Inaki’s death and she’d like to come to Real del Monte and talk to Chris and get some advice. Chris is welcoming.

She adds that she’d like to get to see Paloma and Macarana. Chris’s face falls. He tells her the sad truth, and she is impactada. Gasp!

Rufi is at Dr B’s office, giving him Inaki’s mom’s phone number. Dr B says he’s sure Carlota and her lawyer are up to something fishy. You should have seen her reaction when I brought it up! Rufi says and now she knows you suspect. Cuidadito.

Dr B says Carlota even tried to accuse me of extortion! Originally I was going to investigate just for Macarena and Paloma’s sakes, but now I’m doing it for my ownb conscience. Doing nothing would be like being an accomplice to Carlota.

Lic. Rojas is being told off by a guy, apparently his law partner, for wanting to leave town for a few months. Seems they had talked about adding another partner, but couldn’t afford the salary. Rojas says okay, just hire somebody and I’ll pay his salary. The partner asks why he wants to leave so precipitously – is he in some kind of trouble? (I guess Rojas is so unappealing that the partner doesn’t suspect a beach & bimbo vacation.) No, no, lies Rojas, he just has been needing some time off and by golly, he’s going to take it now. The partner says if we get swamped while you’re gone, you are responsible for the consequences.

Orlando has the framed photo of Diana on his desk and he’s talking to it. It’s you and you live right here! That’s why I saw you in the restaurant! That’s why you didn’t come to the office party. You’re living in hiding. Is Em the child you were expecting?

At Diana’s, Romina is thanking her for taking her in, and says that it’ll be better at Paloma’s because, as Diana advised, she needs to be real close to Paloma. Through all this, Diana is very distracted and Romina notices that she’s not getting the 100% focus on her that she expects. Diana says oh, it’s nothing.

Romina says I know this isn’t necessary – she gets out a wad of cash and gives it Diana. Thank you! says Diana and Romina looks a bit disgusted.

Paloma is at Emiliano’s office, telling him about Romina coming to stay for a little while, and about Romina’s difficulties with Camila. Em is very suspicious and thinks that Romina is trying to come between them. Paloma, not at all enthusiastic, says she wants to help her reconcile with her mother.

Orlando is about to knock on Em’s office door when he hears there’s a conversation going on. He hears Em tell Paloma that he knows about Romina catching her mother kissing Rafa. Orlando morphs into a thunderhead and storms into his office. He gets out some wine and a glass, then gets all crazy tense and crushes the glass in his hand.

Angie comes running. Blood! Yikes! She runs for the first aid box, runs back in and starts dabbing. It’s nothing says studly Orlando. She looks up and OMG their faces are close together and for a moment they look in one another’s eyes. Some tentative music starts up.

You need to get some care so you don’t get a scar. She looks up in his face again. Deep wounds always leave scars he says with Great Meaning.

Fortunately the canaries aren’t on the kitchen table any more, because Carlota has come in to bark some orders to Rufi. Romina will stay in Macarena’s room, so get it ready. Rufi is taken back – can’t she stay in Paloma’s room? Carlota says I’m letting her in the house, but I don’t want them to be so close.

Rufi says I’m surprised you’re letting Romina stay. Carlota says you know I can’t stand her, but this house is Paloma’s as much as mine and I want her to feel comfortable in it, and I want her to be happy. Point two five percent of the viewership sigh Isn’t that sweet? This would be the same .25% of the viewers who got into the tequila.

Carlota also wants to know how that envelope of papers got in the house. Rufi says she doesn’t know, but since Carlota said they were just medical reports, why does it make any difference how they got to the house?

Camila comes up to Paloma on the street. They hug, and Camila gives her Mac’s pearl necklace, plus she gives Paloma back her money for it. Paloma protests that Camila shouldn’t pay, now that she had the money from the school, but Camila says it wasn’t me. A man bought them and gave them to me. Paloma wants to know what man, but Camila won’t say. Camila says it was more important that you have it. But if you ever want to sell it, let me know. Pal says I won’t be selling it. – it was my mama’s. I mean, my tia’s, but I loved her like a mother.

Camila is about to leave, but Paloma stops her and tells her that she’s sorry about her trouble with Romina, and that Romina is going to come stay with her a few days. Camila is impactada and grateful. She thanks Paloma for telling her, and says what a good influence Paloma has always been. Could she please convince Romina to talk to her at least?

Paloma promises to try, but Romina is muy confundida. Camila says it was just a kiss, that was all there was to it, and not what Romina thinks. They hug.

Meche is sitting on a park bench with Chris while the boys' soccer team practices in the background. She tells him Chava has been rebellious and Chris promises to keep an eye on him. She thanks him profusely and leaves.

Em comes up and tells Chris that guess what, Romina is going to be staying with Pal and it’s going to be a real problem with their secret love. Chris says well, don’t keep it a secret any more. This must be a sign that it’s time to tell everybody. Em goes oh yeah, huh? He grins.

At home Carlota says to Rufi Who? Come to see me? Make sure we’re left completely alone. Don’t let Paloma and Romina bother me either.

We’re supposed to be mystified as to who has come to see Carlota, but none of us are.

Orlando is at Camila’s door. She looks completely drained and she tells Orlando that she’s had a couple of horrible days and she’s just not up to talking right now. How about tomorrow? He says he won’t leave until they’ve talked.

Carlota looks sublimely smug. She leans her back against the heavy doors and says I knew one day you would seek me out. There in the shadows of the room is Chris who says I hate to contradict you, but I didn’t come for you. She slinks up to him and puts an arm around his neck. Are you sure? She strokes his lips with her finger.

Chris: What are you doing?
Carlota: What we’ve always wanted to do, live our love. (She paws him.) Now there are no obstacles.
Chris: (backs up) I am a man of the church!
Carlota: Leave it! You were about to anyway.
Chris: I came to talk about Paloma.
Carlota: (lunging at him again) But I want to talk about us.
Chris: There never was an “us.”
Carlota: There always was.
Chris: Maybe in your mind.
Carlota: We could make it a reality.
Chris: I only loved one woman in my life and you know very well it wasn’t you.
Carlota: A person can love again, desire again. You could do that with me. Because you are the only man who I have loved desperately, insanely.

Carlota twines her octopus arms around Chris, who rears back, eyes wide, looking at her like eeewwwww.

Blech. We need a break from that, but what we get is Camila looking exhausted, giving Orlando a cup of tea and wanting to know what it is that can’t wait until tomorrow. He asks how she and Rafa are doing. She says fine. He wants to know exactly and she says she thinks it’s not proper for her to discuss Rafa with him, but if he must know, they’ve decided not to see each other any more. Why? says Orlando.

Camila thoughtbubbles: I can’t tell him. I don’t want to start a fight between them.
Orlando thoughtbubbles: I don’t want you messing with me. I won’t ever let a woman do that again.

Camila says it’s better this way. Believe me.

Back to Carlota, who is still trying to force herself on Chris. He pushes her away. I’m sorry you try to keep seeing me as a simple mortal. Carlota says you could go back to being one! Like you were going to do for her. I know you could be one again for me. I know you, I sense it. Though you are in a priest’s clothes, I know the man hasn’t died. She tries to grab him and kiss him again.

Basta! Ya! He says, fending her off with some beginner martial arts moves

Carlota: Why don’t you recognize that there’s a man inside who desires me? That I make your blood boil? Your religion is just a refuge. You’re the one who’s responsible for making my sister so miserable.

Chris: If any one is guilty of that, it’s you. You’re the one who made sure we couldn’t live the life together that we wanted.

Carlota: When it comes to love, there are no obstacles and you don’t go around believing what other people say. It was very handy for you to think that she was dead. It took away the responsibility for having made her yours without having married her.

Chris: I can’t believe you actually believe your own lies. You’re nuts.

Carlota (smiling): Oooh, that’s the passionate fellow that attracted me.

Chris: Yes, for your sister I would have left the church and given her myself, body and soul. But you aren’t even worth the time to talk to.

He stomps out. Christobal, she sighs to herself swooningly.

Em is having dinner at home with his mother, a nice, healthy salad. She looks scared and said she heard he was here during the day with someone. Em says yes, with Orlando, and he saw your photo and said you look like you have a lot of personality. Diana gulps. She tells him that Romina moved out. Em says he’ll stay with German. She begs him to come back home for a while and he kindly says okay and pats her hand.

Orlando tells Camila maybe he should talk with Rafa. She says about what? He says why, about Em, who may be suffering from the divorce. He says Romina maybe would have an easier time if she had a brother. Camila says I’m too old for that! Orlando asks her about her friendship with Diana and she said it was very slight – they really didn’t have much in common. He wonders why they didn’t have more children. He wonders if Diana was pregnant when she married. Camila says what’s with all the questions?

Orlando says I don’t want to sound nosey. It’s just that the more I know about Emiliano, the more I can help him. Camila looks skeptical.

Diana has frantically called Inez, who is now at Diana’s. Diana says now Orlando knows who I am and how to find me. What do I do? Inez says he won’t hurt you, don’t forget that Em is his partner. But if Orlando finds out, you’ll have to give him his divorce and your son will lose all respect for you. Diana wails. Run for it, says Inez. Diana says I will – I’ll go to Monterrey and stay with my godfather until things calm down. She wrings her hands.

Orlando is in his car, fixating on the photo of Diana and looking stressed. He stares at the front of a house, which must be hers.

Avances: Em wants to tell Romina about his and Paloma’s Big Love. Romina reminds Paloma they swore never to fight over a man.

From Thursday: Emiliano’s love cures all ills. Paloma decides she can overcome her crisis of faith and marry him, and she goes off to talk to Carlota about it. Romina catches Rafael and Camila sittin’ in a tree…er, standing in the parlor, K-I-S-S-I-N-G.

Today: Romina, hoping to avert the love, marriage, and baby carriage crisis, throws a tantrum. She makes a good argument for avoiding parenthood, if nothing else. Camila begs for forgiveness and swears she was not seeing Rafael before he filed for divorce, but Romina is convinced they are having a huge torrid affair and it is a huge betrayal she will nunca jamás forgive, not least because Rafa is the father of the love of her life. Romina says they are no longer family. She leaves.

Rafa sits on a stone wall and calls Joel for reinforcement.

Cruelota refuses to discuss a wedding while she’s still thinking up a way to murder Emiliano, oops, I mean because they are still in mourning. Cruelota thinks Paloma is just flighty and capricious. Paloma swears it’s the real deal and they are going to marry, so Cruel gets all purple and crafty and says she will support them if it lasts, but it’s best to wait awhile. Marrying so soon would just look bad. She refuses to speak to Emiliano yet. After Paloma leaves, she goes back to her fake praying and gets an evil glint in her eye.

Camila sobs and gets Romina’s voicemail. Romina sits in a café ignoring the calls. She looks sad, but probably just because everything is not suiting her whims, not because she feels bad about the misery she’s causing.

Paloma reports to Emo that Cruel doesn’t think they’re really in love. Emo doesn’t care and doesn’t want to wait to marry, and to heck with Cruel. Paloma likes the way he thinks.

Rafael and Joel meet at Rafa’s apartment so that he can properly wallow in misery, in a bathrobe. He must have already finished the ice cream; I don’t see it. Joel thinks the divorce will be more complicated if Diana finds out about Camila. Rafa is more worried that things are bad between Camila and her daughter. Joel reminds him he also needs to worry about Emiliano, who is after all Diana’s son.

Romina goes to Germán’s apartment. He momentarily freaks out that Emiliano could arrive at any moment, but his hormones quickly short out his brain. They kiss passionately and stagger to the bedroom.

The Purple Peoplekiller rants that a wedding is the last thing she needs. She’ll solve this by making Paloma realize that Emiliano is not for her.

Rafael calls Camila, feeling horribly guilty about the whole situation. He thinks they need each other more than ever now, and offers to try to talk to Romina. Cami thinks it’s hopeless, and isn’t sure it’s a good idea for them to be together.

Emiliano returns to the bachelor pad. The movie is still playing, but Germs is not in sight. Germy and Romina, on the bed, stop mid-writhe but don’t answer Emo’s calls. Finally Germs goes out to listen to Emiliano’s swoony report that he and Paloma are in love and will marry soon regardless of Cruel’s crabbiness. Romina overhears all this, and leaves while Emiliano is looking the other way. Emo hears the door slam and teases Germy about sneaking out a lady friend, but doesn’t know who it was.

Emo moons.

Paloma and Emo exchange sweet nothing text messages.

The next day:

Carlota yells at Licenciado Rosas. He will help her whether he likes it or not. Rosas thinks it’s too late; Dr. Bermúdez knows too much and won’t stop investigating. Carlota wants to send Rosas on a long all-expenses-paid vacation. He agrees, not knowing what kind of one-way trips she typically sends people on. They will destroy the evidence before he goes.

The madre superiora wants Cris to give classes to the kids. He’ll think about it. Romina and Paloma walk by, and Cris asks to speak with Paloma. Romina looks irritated and/or suspicious.

Camila, completely falling apart, calls Angélica and begs her to see her.

Padre JuanCris wants to help Paloma get her faith back and marry Emiliano. They share a long hug.

Rafael and Emiliano meet for breakfast. Rafa tells Emo about Camila. Emo is not at all happy, but is gracious and understanding. They agree that Diana would NOT be understanding.

Romina makes a call, presumably to Aaron, and says that he needs to make her (presumably Paloma) feel bad. Now that’s love. She hangs up and calls Carlota, offering to form an alliance. When Paloma appears she claims to have been looking for a room to rent, as she needs to move after the awful thing she found out. Romina spews crocodile tears while Paloma hugs her.

Rafael just can’t stay away. He goes to Camila’s shop. Bad move. Camila wants to end their partnership and their friendship so she can try to fix things with Romina by letting her get her bratty way as usual.

Emiliano talks to Padre Juan about his parents’ divorce. PJ counsels him to be supportive of them both but not to feel responsible for any of it; this is their business.

Romina recounts the horror of The Kiss to Paloma. She thinks it is absolutely the worst thing that could ever possibly happen, and calls Camila a slut (golfa). Paloma is shocked and defends Camila. Romina says she can’t look Diana in the face and must leave her house, but her mother still has control of her money and she has nothing. She asks to stay with Paloma.

At the office, Orlando chastises Emiliano for not focusing on his work. Emo says he’ll get the batteries in (poner las pilas). After Orly leave, Emo moons.

Paloma doesn’t think Cruelota will agree to have Romina as a guest, and doesn’t look happy at the prospect of asking. Romina hands Paloma off to Aaron, who gets straight to the abuse setup by accusing her of treating him coldly and just using him. Paloma and her new backbone protest that he was the one telling people they were novios and she never led him on, but she is polite and apologizes for the misunderstanding. He says he wants her. Run, Paloma, run.

Cruelota goes to Dr. Rodolfo’s office to yell at him to stay away from her family, right in front of his secretary. She threatens to sue him for extortion and intimidation if he doesn’t stop his investigation. It is ever more a mystery why she has a reputation as a fine upstanding citizen. All Carlota ever does is yell and threaten people, when she’s not busy murdering them. The doc smiles to himself. There must be something to find if she’s trying to stop him.

Rufi flips through an address book and finds Carmen’s information.

Orlando reminds Emiliano that he said he had some papers on marketing strategies which they could apply at the platería. They go off to Emo’s house to get them.

Paloma tells Rufi she’s not really excited about helping Romina. Rufi says that’s because Romina is a bad friend. Paloma still feels sorry for her. Rufi thinks Romina should just make up with Camila, and if she stays with the Espinoza de los Monstruos family Paloma will either have to stay away from Emo or tell Romina they’re novios.

Romina convinces Cruelota to go along with her plan and compliments her on being such a great maestra of evil. Carlota is pleased. That’s probably the nicest thing anyone’s ever said to her.

Paloma asks Cruelota for permission for Romina to stay in their house. Cruel agrees too easily and Paloma is stunned. Carlota claims Mac’s death has made her more sensitive, and she wants Paloma to be happy.

Orlando and Emiliano go to Diana’s house. Orly waits in the living room while Emo goes to look for the papers and calls out to Diana. Orlando sees a photo of Diana and is muy, pero muy impactado. It is Gudelia!

Avances: Cruelota and Romina act like jerks.

Many of us have been wondering just how many times our cute characters can keep catching each other kissing, how many times Mau and Moni can break up and reunite the same day, and above all, how can this show possibly last over 200 episodes without getting repetitive? Well, tonight, we may have the answer, as we finally get some real drama. I’m not sure I like it, and who knows where it will lead, but our perfect little world ain’t quite so pretty anymore. Let’s see what happened.

Isabel collapses to the ground in the vecindad. Alicia says Moni has to know the truth – her mother is dying, and Valentina is the only one who can save her! Nieves adds that she knew Alicia was terminally ill (desahuciada), but urges Alicia to explain the Moni saving her part. But there’s no time, says Alicia, we have to get her to a hospital. Moni, tears flowing, cradles her Mamá’s head, begging her not to die, kissing her hair tenderly.

Mientras tanto, Aldo and Estrella are also kissing, albeit not quite as tenderly. In fact, Aldo laments that he’s “dying” to “be” with Estrella, but she’s a bit relieved they didn’t have money for the hotel room. Aldo kisses her again (and across the way, Connie captures this moment with her high-end camera).

Isabel is strapped to the gurney, loaded into the ambulance, as Beto gives Moni words of encouragement. Moni will ride with her Mom, and asks Paula to call Mauricio to let him know what’s happening. Paula also calls Estrella, effectively rescuing her from persistent Aldo, who, once having gotten the idea that he’s about to get lucky, can hardly think of anything else.

In the hospital waiting room, Moni’s crying, Beto’s pensive, but just as he gets up to console Moni, his rival appears. Mauricio, equally as sad and caring as Beto, presents a strong physical contrast – while Beto is sporting his trademark tee shirt and jeans, Mau, a good head taller, is wearing an off white suit over a light purple dress shirt, unbuttoned. Beto silently hits his fist against the wall in frustration. After Mau gives Moni comforting words, Beto tells him he’s not wanted here, this is a family matter. Of course Mau says it’s between him and Moni, and Nieves cautions the boys this is not the time and place for an argument. The doctor comes out, relates that Isabel’s condition is fragile. He tells Moni that the only way to save her Mom is a bone marrow transplant (trasplante de médula) that only she can provide. The life of her mother is in her hands!

Across town, Connie tells Jerry why she’s smiling like a cheshire cat. She’s just taken some juicy photos of Aldo kissing that slut Estrella. So far, nada with Luisa and Ivan, but she’s working on it. And how about you, Jéro? Got Mau’s little trip lined up yet? (they have to get him out of town for a few days, so Connie can work on the judge). Yep, Mau’s agreed to go to Mérida, and Oscar’s got a golf date today with the judge. Everything’s going well (toda marcha sobre ruedas, literally everything’s going on wheels). Enter Ximena with lots of packages, she’s been shopping for the boda, and is her usual super upbeat self. But where’s my brother-in-law? asks Jerry, exasperated. He’s right behind me, pipes Ximmy, then realizes maybe Rolu might have a problem following in his wheelchair. She calls in the hall, Rolu!!! Not there. Wait a minute, she has to think (not so easy for her), and presses her fingertips to her forehead to get the ol’ brainwaves flowin’. Okay, let’s see. She was pushing him along, looking in some display windows (aparadores), saw some divine things, told Rolu not to move, went inside, bought all these cool little things for the photo album for the wedding, and came home feeling fine (“muy tranqui”). Connie laughs, where’d you leave him? Not sure, says Ximmy, as Jerry grabs her around the throat, he wants to kill her for her carelessness, she HAS to get married to that guy. Ximmy needs a little help, how about it, Connie? Connie doesn’t give a damn (me importa un pepino – literally, I don’t care a cucumber) about Ximmy’s happiness, and flounces out, leaving Ximmy to the mercy of Jerry and his murderous ways, as he grabs another weapon, and Ximmy protests, no, el cojin, no, porfis (please, not the cushion)!

Mau asks the Doctor if there’s any risk to Moni if she donates bone marrow. The Doctor says no, but of course there will be monitoring (seguimiento) of Moni, if she agrees to donate. She immediately agrees, although Mau, still looking guilty, asks her to think about it. But there’s no time, and Doc is going to get everything ready. But first he asks if she has fasted (estás en ayunas?). Turns out she hasn’t eaten anything all day, which is actually good for this operation. Mau and Moni go to visit Isabel, leaving Beto to complain he’s left out in the cold like a tombstone (lápida).

Time to find Rolu! Ximmy’s putting up missing posters, showing Rolu in his cast, but she’d rather have put up a poster of Rolu looking handsome in his racing outfit. Jerry reminds her how dumb that would be.

With Mauricio silently observing, Moni tells her unconscious mother that since Isabel gave her life, this donation is the least Moni can do in return. And they have so many things to tell each other, her Mamá HAS to survive. She still doesn’t know why her mother left her, but begs her not to leave again. The nurse tells Moni it’s time to go. After they leave, Mau looks at Isabel, saying to himself, what have I done? (what is he hiding?)

In the waiting room, Beto and Mau spar a bit more. Mau ask Aldo not to tell his sisters, and by the way, how did he find out? From Estrella. Huh? Estrella volunteers that Aldo left a book in the barrio, and came to get it (yeah, right). Alicia gives Mau encouraging words.

At the police station, Cristian’s desk cop informs him that a missing person (persona extraviada) was brought in, and it’s Cris’s turn to make the report. Affirmative, says Cris, where is he? Well, he can’t talk, and there he is. Cris turns, and Rolu is wheeled in. Cris gets out his notepad, and proposes that if the answer is yes, the subject should look Cris in the eyes. If it’s no, the subject should close his eyes (wonder if Rolu’s getting confused with all these communication systems?). Question 1: Are you in danger? Rolu stares right at Cris. 2: Did someone abandon you on purpose? Eyes shut. 3: Who did it, a man? Eyes shut. 4: Okay a woman, then. Your novia? Slight pause, then eyes shut tight. Cris takes the pause to be a maybe. He puts down the pad. He understands. Novias are dangerous. At first, they’re so nice. Then they get jealous. Then they get violent. He bends down close to Rolu’s face. But you know what? he confides. I love her. And I miss her (starts weeping). Oh, my Pau. Rolu looks is if he’s in a nuthouse.

Beto’s nerves are making him hungry. Nieves gives him some cash, says to go get a sandwich, bring back change. Mau gives Aldo money to buy Estrella, Paula and himself something, and they go off, leaving Nieves to confront Mau. She knew about Isabel’s sickness, but didn’t know that Moni could save her. She looks up at Mau. Did you know? Mau admits he did. Then why didn’t you tell me? Maybe Isabel got close to Moni just for this. Mau is silent, but Alicia comes over, and says that’s enough. Nieves isn’t deterred. She looks Mauricio in the face, and tells him that if Isabel is playing some game with Moni, has come here just for the transplant, and then is going to leave Moni again, and Mau knew about this, Mau is going to pay very dearly. He’ll lose Monita para siempre!

At the station, a jubilant Ximena greets her favorite invalid. One moment, señorita, injects Cris. The subject named you as responsible for his condition, so we have to detain you for investigation. Jerry tells Cris of the pure love his sis has for the subject. Ximmy says she’ll treat him like one of her prize jewels. But the declaration, protests Cris. What are you talking about, this guy can’t declare anything, look at him. Rolu closes his eyes to say no, but it just looks as if he’s a zombie, so Cris is convinced, and will release the subject, just needs Jerry to sign a receipt.

Randy Aldo tells Estrella they could find an empty hospital room to….you know. Getting desperate huh? she kids. Must think about it 10 times a day. More like 100, he corrects. Tano enters, and they awkwardly separate. After asking about Moni, he asks what’s up with Aldo. Aldo says what are you waiting for? Tell him you’re through with him and with me now. Estre’s a bit tongue-tied.

Moni has donated the marrow, and is recovering in a hospital bed. Both Mau and Beto are there. Mau woos her with soft words, Beto offers to get some snacks, leans in to give her a quick kiss, but is pulled back by Nieves, who tells him not to pester (hostigar) la Monita. Moni recoils a bit from the onion smell, but wants to know about her Mamá. They don’t know yet, but the Doctor is with Alicia. The door opens, and the Doctor and Alicia walk in, very slowly. The music sounds dark. Moni has a hopeful smile. But Alicia shakes her head, and the Doctor says, I’m sorry, but she couldn’t endure the operation, and she passed away (falleció).

Mau tries to dry Moni’s tears. Beto can’t bear to be in the room with Mau right there, and walks out. Moni can’t believe it, she finally had her Mom with her, had her affection, and now she’s gone. Alicia and Nieves leave Mau and Moni alone. Mau assures her that her Mamá left in peace because she got to see her, be with her, and will continue being with her. Moni feels alone. Mau says she has her neighbors, her friends, and she has him. He loves her. Never abandon me, she implores. Never, he replies and bends down to give her a gentle kiss.

In the hall, Tano doesn’t want explanations, he’s through with Estrella, after hearing Aldo say Estrella came back to HIM. He stalks off, and Estrella’s a little peeved at Aldo, too, so she pushes him away, and goes off in another direction.

Moni is happy her Mom found out that she (Moni) loved her. Mau thinks that Isabel felt guilty for all her errors, but since you pardoned her, she was at peace. Moni wants to go talk to her (dead) Mom, one last time, but Mau says Moni has to rest from her operation. Besides, I’m with you now, he adds. Let me cuddle you (déjame apapacharte). Moni still wants to see her Mom, but Mau says that’s up to the doctors. Then at least Moni wants to go the chapel and pray, light a candle (veladora). Mau agrees, he’ll get a wheelchair.

Beto complains to his Mom that he can’t get near Moni, but Nieves reminds him that Mau is the novio now. Others start to get the news, Aldo, Estrella, Paula. Mau asks Nieves to help keep everyone together, and not bother Moni in the chapel, while he has to go take care of the post-mortem procedures (trámites). Alicia tells Mau that Isabel had requested something if she died, and her wishes must be respected. She goes with Mau.

In the chapel, Moni asks the Lord to care for her Mamá. Tell her I never hated her, despite what I said, how could I hate the woman who brought me into the world, without whom I could never be talking to You now? Beto is behind her, tenderly strokes her hair. Moni says she was asking God to care for her Mamá. Of course He will, says Beto, and I’ll care for you. Can I hug you? Of course, I need you, and they hug. (Amazingly, no one walks in to interrupt). Beto continues. Although you no longer love me, I’ll always care for you, and I’ll always be there for you, in good times and bad. Although I prefer the good ones. But I’ll always be close, remember that. She kisses his cheek, he kisses her hand, and gives her privacy to resume her prayers.

Estrella tells Aldo in no uncertain terms how disappointed she was with him. She wanted to explain things to Tano, and by Aldo’s shooting off at the mouth and bragging that Estrella was his now, he really acted immaturely. Well, says Aldo, I have to defend what’s mine. What’s yours? What am I, an inflatable doll you got from Santa Claus? (She actually says "from the Three KIngs", who are the Mexican Christmas gift-givers). She doesn’t want to see him now, and goes to comfort Moni.

Moni’s back in her hospital bed, Paula and Nieves are comforting her, and Estrella joins them. Beto’s also in the room, sitting in a chair. But where’s Mauricio? Taking care of procedures. Gabi and Sal arrive, give their condolences. Sal asks when the wake (velorio) will be. Alicia enters, there won’t be a wake. Isabel was very clear, she wanted to be cremated, for no one to cry, and didn’t want a mourning (luto) period. But, but, but, Moni starts to protest. Alicia repeats it was Isabel’s final wish, and Mauricio’s taking care of the details now.

In the hall, Beto calls Connie on the phone, he needs her. She’s not in the mood. Well, adds Beto, I know you like me for my body, but what about my sad soul? I’m in the hospital. Connie laughs, still the zipper thing? No, the mother of La Monita died, can you believe it? This perks Connie RIGHT up. She figures Mauricio is there, then just hangs up on Beto. Ximena is with Connie, and Connie tells her la changa mayor se murió (the older monkey died). Ximmy is shocked. Connie sits down, kicks up her feet, eats a cherry, and gloats about Moni’s pain, but that’s NOTHING compared to what she’ll feel when I crush her like the cockroach she is! She’ll be as dead as her mother. Ximmy thinks this is quite ugly of Connie and she’s very mala. Yeah, says Connie, you better not get on my bad side, so keep your mouth shut! Ximmy zips it, throws away the key.

Mauricio enters Moni’s hospital room, which is filled with all her friends, carrying a small, polished wooden box, containing Isabel’s ashes. He gives it to Moni, who starts, Mamita, then stops, this can’t be my mother. I had a Mamá, now all I have is this.

After the commercial, we’re at the funeral. Most of our characters are there, all in black (some are less formal than others, Ivan has sort of a goth tee shirt). It’s a sunny day, and the priest says a prayer. Moni’s holding the wooden urn. The priest says she can deposit the ashes into the niche in the wall of what I believe is called a columbarium. She sadly places the box in the niche, and turns to hug Mauricio. But as she looks over Mau’s shoulder, her face turns from sad to angry, and she asks “what is THAT woman doing here?” It’s Connie, not missing the opportunity to twist the knife. Please get rid of her, says Moni to Mau. Mau turns to the red-clad Connie, tells her there’s no reason for her to be here. Connie says she just came to give condolences (el pésame) to Moni in her moment of sadness. Mau sees right through her, firmly requests that she leave. And she does, putting on her sunglasses, but breaking into a secret smile on the way out.

Beto lowers his sunglasses, decides to follow Connie. Nieves lowers her eyes, decides to follow Beto. Beto catches up to Connie, how come you’re wearing red? Well, it’s the color of passion, I just want to raise your spirits. You’re raising, you’re raising, pants Beto, he wants to go off with her, when from behind he hears “Roberto Ochoa, where are you going?” It’s Nieves. Beto’s going for some companionship. If old Doll Hair gets Moni, he’s getting some comfort, too. And by the way, Ma, if you want to help, make some food! He gives her a list. Nieves can’t believe he’s going with La Flauta (Nieves’ nickname for Connie). Why not? replies Beto. She’s my boss. I’m just going to WORK (hint, hint). And they’re off, arm in arm.

Back at the columbarium, Paula and Estrella promise to keep Moni company, they’ll do lots of stuff together to cheer her up. Mau will, too. Cristian shows up with some nice flowers, offering his condolences (in cop speak, of course, giving condolence for “the tragic and final outcome of her progenitor”). Nieves invites everyone back for tamalitos and atole (which is what Beto requested).

Ximena tells Rolu it’s the first death they’ve been to together, isn’t that romantic? But she wonders, since Moni’s Mom just died, should they postpone the wedding? Rolu quickly blinks twice. But Jerry jumps in, telling Ximmy there’s nothing better after a funeral than a nice wedding. Ximmy likes his philosophy, isn’t it great Jerry is so positive? She tells Rolu the wedding’s on!

Sal gets really close to Gabi, who calls him guapo, but warns him not to get too close, Lorenza’s right over there, and Gabi doesn’t want to be the next one to fill those niches. However, Lorenza may have other things on her mind. Oscar slides up to her, can’t get over their little trap (encerrón) from the other day. Ssshh, I’m a married woman, she whispers. Fine, he replies, if you want me to leave, just say the word. Her reply? “We’ll meet in one hour in the same hotel.” As she fans herself from the heat, he whispers in her ear “Don’t forget the whip!”

Moni wants to stay a little longer with her Mamá, her Mamá’s going to be so lonely in this place, it’s so cold. Mauricio comforts her, he’ll stay with her. We see the plaque, Isabel López, 1960-2008. The sad episode ends.

But the previews are a shock!!! Mau’s phone rings, and Isabel’s alive! They faked it, and Mau knew about it, although Mau tells Isabel Valentina was destroyed! Here come the anvils!
