Caray, Caray!

LQNPA Cap 26 and part of 27 (Univision's being Looney again with scheduling), Feb 1, 2012

NOTE: Feb 1st's El Talisman recap is here. Feb 1st's Familia recap here.

The Delusional Bridegroom

Hola everyone. Here is the Extra Deluxe Boda Edition Recap. I plan on pulling out all the stops (okay, maybe just a few extras) and will supply ample screencaps, plus some Jorge Salinas fangirlishness. I make no apologies for this.


Let's get started!

We resume with Rohellio's and Cupcake's (Ana Paula's) conversation about the semi-ugly necklace she doesn't want to wear. (Well, I think it's semi-ugly!) She doesn't believe his motives and wonders what he's really up to. "Not important." he replies. "What matters is that you comply with the contract and that includes wearing my ugly necklace!" She equates the wearing of the ugly necklace to wearing a dog collar, to show that she belongs to a man. Rohell, ever the douchebag, goes with that. "In essence that's what you are! You are my property for a year!" He holds up the ugly necklace for her to take, but she looks away, finally taking it and immediately placing it down. Oh no no, that's not good enough. Rohell picks it up again, offers it to her again. This time she holds it in her hand just long enough for him to leave. Then throws it on her bed in exasperation.

"Take the dog collar!" She's enchanted by his approach.

Then, for the 1,954th time, gets Gus's shell necklace from the drawer where it's stashed, fondles it, and laments his loss.

Meanwhile, Gus is jogging at the beach and gets a call from Mercedes. She sings the happy birthday song to him. But he's bummed out because he can't stop thinking of Cupcake.

Back to Cupcake, still mooning over Gus. Flashback to her and Gus, and remembering what it feels like to be around a guy who's not a douchebag.

Dani comes in, gives Cupcake a hug and starts chattering about the big day. Cupcake is apprehensive, however. She's feeling more doom and gloom over the impending ceremony which will tie her to the resident douchebag Rohell. Dani advises her, for her own good, to try to put memories of Gus behind her. "If he had lived, this would have been his birthday." Cupcake says, and Dani gives her a comforting hug.

Efriam decides it's time to pull out all the stops in the romance department, and boldly holds out a single, semi-droopy flower to Sin-thia. They're out on the lawn somewhere, where ANYONE could see them, but they just carry on anyway. My beanie needs more tightening. A lather-rinse-repeat conversation happens between them about their dysfunctional relationship. Basically Efraim wants her to go with him as his date to the wedding. Let's be a real couple. Fat chance, says Sinthia. And by the way, you stink of manure, Efraim. (She really does say that.) FF>>>

Another man offering another woman and unwanted and unappreciated gift.

Boca del Cielo, David and Gus talking about something or another. Blah blah business construction, comply with the law, blah blah, you win, please don't shut us down. He mentions maybe going to that Montero wedding and schmoozing with people. Montero is getting married? Gus asks with astonishment. David thinks that Gus could make some good connections there.

During Dani's and Cupcake's discussion about her great sacrifice marrying the Douchebag, Dipsh*t Miguel comes in, overhears, and starts banging his head against a door, crying, "It's all my fault! It's all my fault!" He then runs off. Dany chases after him and tries to placate him.

More encouragement from David for Gus to schmooze with that rich dude, Montero. Gus isn't sure; he wasn't invited to the wedding. David says this is different. Montero actually recommended Gus to work on the construction. Gus perks up at this. David adds that since Montero is loaded, he (David) could negotiate a good salary. But Gus declines, and warns David that he can still shut down construction.

Rohell, obviously a bundle of nerves about his pending nuptuals, is drinking in solitude. Tia MeniRosa decides this is a good time to schmooze him and gush about how she's looking forward to him being her nephew. Rohellio is in no mood for her syrupy, insincere familiarity. He grumpily tells her to stop calling him "Rogelio," It's SEÑOR MONTERO to you, b*tch! Okay he didn't say that last part.

He's not in any mood for her shenanigans. Not that he ever is in any mood when Tia is involved.

More of Miguel's increasingly annoying guilt and insecurity. Dany tries for the umpteenth time to get him off his pity pot. It's all his fault, poor AP having to sacrifice, Dany can do better without him. Blah blah blah. FF>>>

Tia comes along and interrupts and tells them both to make themselves useful, and suck up to Rogelio if possible. They rush off.

Vainessa has rushed in by helicopter, all-fired sure that her supreme hotness will be sufficient incentive for Rohellio to call of the wedding to Ana Paula. Sin-thia meets her somewhere on the hacienda grounds.

A still-drinking, increasingly nervous (but in denial!) Rohellio is now approached by Maria. Is he nervous? She asks. Of course not, he replies, half-laughing, while looking like a complete wreck. "It's just a formality!"

HE SAYS HE'S NOT NERVOUS. Are we buying that?

Maria goes on to say she's very excited, and that she'll be praying for both him and AP. He looks skeptical and then after she leaves, mutters, "It's been a long time."

The ever hopeful Maria and Rohell have a nice moment.

Rohell sits alone, still a wreck, still brooding, as AP slowly comes in the room, with a much more flattering wedding dress on, and her hair pulled back. (I think she looks very pretty.) It takes him a moment to sense she is there. He turns around slowly and is gobsmacked by her beauty. She looks down (a bit haughtily) at him, seemingly oblivious to his besotted jaw-drop and puppydog eyes.

He senses someone is there . . .

His jaw drops—gobsmacked!

Even more gobsmacked.

"Well, here I am, jerk."

The camera zooms closer . . .

. . . and Jorge Salinas is awesome. That is all.

After the commercial break, we cut to angry Vainessa and Sinthia kvetching about how Rohell done them wrong. "Are you here to get revenge on my brother, or do you still love him?" Sinthia asks. "In truth, a bit of both!" Vainessa replies.

Back to Cupcake and Rohell. She says that if he wants her to wear the damn ugly necklace, he's going to have to put it on her himself. (She says it nicer than that.)  He recovers enough from his besotted puppydog mode to respond. He's glad to do it, because they both know what it signifies. (What? What does it signify? That you bought her company for a year? Whatever.) "I'm glad you finally understand how things work around here" he continues. (HOW, HOW do they work? She looks skeptical at this.) "I know I have a crappy personality" he says (only he says it nicer) "But I care for you." (He says "te quiero" which I assume in this case means "I care" instead of "I love," even though the English CCs say "I love.") She's like, "Yeah, sure." The expression on her face says it all.

"If you want me to wear the ugly thing, put it on yourself."

The donning of the dog collar.

"I know my personality stinks, but I care for you." "YEAH WHATEVER."

She stands in front of him and says, "I understand that for a year you'll own my time, my space, and my life. But you won't own my affection (cariño), or my respect." Rohell listens silently and looks a bit abashed.

"This contract only buys you so much."

"You can't buy my affection or respect."

He looks a bit abashed.

 Federico is in San Gabriel and the place is like a ghost town. He's on the phone with Elsa la Vaca and she's complaining that Rohell must have invited everyone to his boda. Fed says he'll keep looking for Vainessa and La Vaca urges him to not let Vainessa do anything stupid. (That family's track record in stopping Vainessa from doing stupid things isn't very good. I'm just saying.)

Tia Mentirosa gushes over Cupcake's ugly necklace as Dany. Elena, and Rohell look on. Miguel enters the room, looking very spiffy in a new suit. Tia gushes over that and Miguel thanks Rohell for getting him the suit. Rohell is reminded that he's missing the flower in his buttonhole? (Not sure what this is called. The English CCs say he's missing his whip. I do not kid. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.) Rohell goes off to get said flower-thingie and asks Miguel to accompany him. Tia gushes some more over how lovely Cupcake looks. Cupcake doesn't seem to give a darn.

After everyone else leaves, Cupcake complains to Dany that she's so nervous she can't breathe. Dany says it's one thing to bear something, but it's another to be at the point of not being able to breathe!

Sin-thia and the increasingly delusional Vainessa are approaching the entrance to the hacienda. Vainessa is convinced that Rohell still loves her and is just doing this for revenge. She believes she can convince him to not "ruin his life" by marrying this other woman. Sinthia agrees that Rohell still loves the Vain one and asks her—what will you do if Rohell agrees to not marry the Cupcake? With a twisted smile, Vainessa replies that she'll marry him right there, replacing the spot that has been recently vacated by Cupcake. And, she adds, that even though she loves Rohell, that she'll have to make him "suffer" a bit after their marriage, just so he values her properly.

Delusional bruja.

Esteban, the model son-in-law, is visiting Elsa la Vaca as she fawns all over him. He has heard about the messy broken boda of Vainessa's. Yeah, well Elsa la Vaca is not unhappy that Vainessa isn't marrying that jerk Rohell. Esteban is the perfect guy for Vainessa. Esteban is delighted to hear it. Where is Vainessa? On a trip, La Vaca replies. Up North, on a business trip with her dad. Uh huh.

Dany and Cupcake are talking about Miguel when in rushes La Bruja Vainessa, all outrage. "I won't let you marry Rogelio!" she yells. She immediately tries to slap Cupcake across the face. Cupcake won't let her frosting get mussed, so she blocks the slap. "Don't you try to raise your hand to me, or it'll end up very bad for you!" Cupcake warns.

Blocking the bruja's slap.

Then Cupcake wastes no time. She SLAPS the bruja right across the face! Let's pause for a moment to savor this.

(I love Dany's expression here!) SLAP! RIGHT ACROSS THE KISSER!! You deserve that richly, Vainessa.

"Don't you ever raise your hand against me again, got it?" Cupcake warns. Vainessa immediately assumes that Cupcake says this because of her impending elevated status as Señora Montero. Not so, says Cupcake. I demand respect as Ana Paula Carmona! Vainessa then yells that Rohell is just using Cupcake. At this Miguel walks in and tries to intervene. Vainessa then starts in with insulting Miguel, the "murderer." More screaming and drama.

In the middle of this, Rohell rolls in, his look thunderous. "What the hell is going on here, Vainessa?"

Just what he needs to calm his jangled nerves on his wedding day. A crazed, delusional ex-novia.

Efraim messing with poor, deceived Consuelo. He's changing his shirt for the boda. All the male employees are wearing these rather nice gray shirts with lavender trim on them. In comes the other stable guy and says that there's a mare being delivered for Sinthia, that he must attend to.

More drama and crap from Vainessa. She does that creepy thing where she stoops down and slithers her hands all over Rohell and whines at him. He is certainly in no mood for that. Basically she says that she loves him so much that she's willing to come to him anyway, beseeching him to forget about this wedding that OBVIOUSLY must be only meant as revenge. (Because OBVIOUSLY he couldn't have any feelings for AP, OBVIOUSLY.) Vainessa claims that he couldn't love AP because OF COURSE he loves her still! He's just doing this so she'll feel bad, the way he did when she dumped him years ago. He couldn't possibly get anything from this opportunistic gold digger or her family. "Basta!" Rohell yells and tells her not to insult AP or her family.

Cupcake has had enough and starts to blurt out the truth. Rohell stops her in time and says that she married him for LOVE! Yeah, that's right, LOVE! He clasps her hands and gives her a pleading look. She doesn't contradict him.

Delusional Vainessa.

"Please play along and say you love me and maybe she'll go away!"

"Okay, whatever."

"PLEEEEEEEZE."

Not accepting rejection well.

At the stables, Sinthia is schmoozing a bit with Efriam and up runs an enthusiastic David. "What are you doing here?" she asks, astonished. "What are you talking about? You invited me!"

Efriam doesn't know who this dude is and immediately wants to "protect" Sinthia from him. "Is he bothering you?" he asks. David says contemptuously that the señorita is is GIRLFRIEND. But that's not a "peon's" business to know! Impactado look from Efriam. To add insult to injury, David hugs and kisses Sinthia, then as he is leaving, throws Efriam a coin and tells him to take extra special care of the mare (Bonita) that he got for her. 

Efriam has forgotten his place for a moment as a mere peon.

Back to the Rohell-Cupcake-Vainessa fiasco. As Vainessa rants, Rohell proceeds to hold Cupcake's hands and kiss them periodically as he tells Vainessa to forget it, he's marrying the woman he loves. Vainessa freaks out. NO ONE could fall in love this fast. Blah blah blah. Screech screech. She reminds him that they are business partners. Rohell had assumed that Fed would bail out, but no, she corrects him. And as business partners, they can help or they can hurt. Rohell seems unconcerned about this. "It works both ways." He again asks her to get out and FINALLY she does, but not before warning them both that they'll pay for this, suffer for it, regret it, blah blah blah. WHAT. EVER.

When the bruja finally leaves, Rohell asks Dany and Miguel to leave him alone to talk to Paula. She says to him that lies come so easy for him, because it's clear that he doesn't know how to love. He says he won't argue with her on that, and adds that he wanted to defend AP's "place" (as the woman he loves). AP replies that she was doing just fine doing that herself.

Sinthia is complaining to David about her poor, vulnerable, crippled brother who obviously is so helpless and gullible that he has fallen victim to a scheming gold digger like Paula. (Okay, she doesn't say the part about him being gullible and helpless, but she must think him incapable of seeing through a gold digger or choosing his own wife.)  David, who knows all about the extreme, hyper-determined douchebaggery Rohell had to pull in order to coerce AP to marry him, tries to suggest that maybe there's more to this than just revenge—maybe Rohell is just really, really interested in that girl. "NO WAY!" Sinthia is emphatic. It. Does. Not. Compute. David is unable to elaborate more on why he knows what he knows, obviously.

They are interrupted by a whining Vainessa, simpering in the hallway, who complains about how rude Rohell was to her, whine whine whine. More whining. She says that Rohell claims to LOVE that gata! NO WAY! Impactada and outrage that Rohell dare cast his eyes favorably on a lower life form like Paula.

Back in the other room with Cupcake and Rohell, Maria comes in and admonishes Rohell for seeing his bride before the wedding. It's bad luck. Rohell laughs that since they're living in the same house, it's kind of inevitable, besides, he is enjoying being able to admire her beauty. (And he does seem to be doing that.)

David comes in with his suitcase. Rohell greets him, but Cupcake immediately brings up that David was the guy that falsely accused Miguel of stealing a truck. Nobody really wants to pursue this subject, so Rohell says that David may end up marrying Sinthia. Cupcake gives David the stinkeye as David smirks smarmily.

A smirk from David.

(I'm starting to lose the will to live, so I will rush through a few of the less interesting spots in this episode.)

More ranting and vows of revenge from Vainessa as Sinthia listens, shocked. "You're either with me or with your brother!" Vainessa proclaims. Maria comes in and suggests, not subtly, that Vainessa take the hint that she's not wanted and that Rohell doesn't love her. Vainessa snaps that of course Maria would be happy that Rohell's marrying another servant ("gata") like herself. When Sinthia tries to stand up a little for Vainessa, Maria warns her to be loyal to her brother. Blah blah blah. Bruja, go away.

Bruja, go away.

Efriam, on the orders of Rohell, follows Vainessa out and offers to take her wherever she needs to go. We'll see how that works out.

In San Gabriel, Ulisis (the shop owner) and his pretty, gossipy wife and preparing boxes to take to the wedding. In comes Federico. Looking for Vainessa, if you see her, please tell her to wait for me here. They recognize him as the dad of the woman who dumped Rohell, and Rohell's business associate. FF>>>

A hilarious sequence of scenes (which I will condense to preserve my sanity). Tia MentRosa and her friend Elena are tackily admiring all the goodies and riches at the hacienda. Tia, who is apparently a cougar, also admires a fine specimen of male beauty: Efriam! She assumes, since he's wearing nice clothes for the wedding, that he is someone of more elevated position. Efriam doesn't contradict her throughout their interactions.

Cougar bait.

Give me strength to go on. More self-pity and whining from Miguel over Cupcake having to marry. Dany tries to tell him to stop being such a sad sack whiner about it. Miguel uses this conversation as an opportunity to tell Dany that she can do much better than a loser like him. Blah blah blah FF>>>

David has a little chat with Rohell about his marriage. Is he sure? Oh yes, Rohell is adamantly sure. David says that he's got nothing against the girl, she's very pretty, but not in our same "condition"? (Not sure if this is the right translation.) Rohell says, well, he's not exactly dream groom material either, being in the wheelchair. Rohell discerns that Sinthia sent David. Also he figures that this concern has something to do with worrying about Paula getting her paws somehow on Sinthia's inheritance. Surely he got her to sign a prenup? Rohell doesn't answer anything but just says, not to worry. Just share my happiness!

Rohell then turns to the judge waiting to perform the ceremony, apologizes for not standing up, and asks if it's okay for both him and his bride to be seated during the ceremony. Of course it's okay.

Gossipy store lady is all excited about the wedding and squeees about it with her daughter, Maripaz. Finally they'll get to see who the bride is!

More chit-chat. Efriam upset about Sinthia and David. She'll talk with him later about it; Dave's an associate of Rohell. More with Tia and Elena drooling over Ephriam. "He must be someone important, he's talking with Rohell's sister!" Sinthia says she only cares for Ephriam. I think she means he's better in the sack. I'm just saying. Blah blah. Whatever. FF>>>

David says to Bruno that this is a joke. Bruno says no way. Rohell lost his sense of humor years ago! "I hope he married for love!" Bruno adds.

Rohell gestures to cougar bait, aka Ephriam. Did he do that thing that was asked of him? Oh yeah. "I took care of Vainessa!"

He "took care" of Vainessa. AWESOME.

We cut to some sort of barn or farm building. Vainessa is locked inside, yelling at a screened window to be let out. Our pity for her is rated at approximately zero.

No pity for the bruja.

We see Rohell waiting, somewhat nervously, in front of the judge. He is literally twiddling his thumbs. Meanwhile, Cupcake and Miguel are making their way to the ceremony when Miguel has a last minute epiphany. "I can't do it! Let's blow this joint!"

"Let's go!" Miguel urges.

 At the ceremony, Rohell is looking increasingly nervous. He turns and looks at Tia MentiRosa. She gives him a reassuring smile. He then turns to his other side, to Maria. Same thing. A comforting, assuring smile. Like, "Don't worry, my child." But he still looks worried.

Sweating bullets.

Cupcake hesitates for a moment, then rushes off with Miguel to make their escape. He urges to not think! Just go! She runs after him down the hall.

But after the break, we cut back to Miguel and Cupcake and see that Cupcake can't do it. She gave her word. Miguel is out of prison due to Rohell. Besides, they see how he got vengeance on Vainessa after many years. Imagine what he'd do to them if she jilted him! That seems to sink in. Back to the ceremony they go.

 Rohell can't take it anymore. He unlocks his wheelchair as if to go look for Cupcake. Tia stops him and starts to go off herself. Fortunately they're both saved by the wedding march as Cupcake and Miguel appear. Ah, the sweet relief is all over Rohell's face.

Tia prevents him from searching after Cupcake.

Here they come!

Visibly relieved.

Gossipy store lady is astonished to see that Rohell's groom is the nurse! Her daughter Maripaz takes an opportunity to squee that the guy giving the bride away is that dreamy Miguel!

Miguel and Cupcake approach Rohell. Miguel says that he hopes that Rohell will make his sister happy for THIS YEAR. Rohell looks vexed and immediately corrects him. "Todos!" (All of them!) Then he kisses Cupcake's hand and leads her to her chair.

"Hope you make her happy this year."

Showing a decided lack of enthusiasm!

Kissing her hand. Rohellio is really into hand-kissing.

They start to listen to the judge do his thing. Both bride and groom sneak looks at the other.

Admiring his bride-to-be.

Meanwhile, at Boca del Cielo, Gus is moping at the beach when Fermin, Carmen, and her little girl approach him and present him with a birthday cake! More fishermen come around and the little girl asks Gus what he'll wish for when he blows out the candles of his birthday cake. He replies that he'll wish to be able to talk to Cupcake.

Now we're getting to the part where bride and groom have to say their vows. Rohell doesn't hesitate to say "Sí, acepto" at the right time, but Cupcake draaaaags out her "aceptos" to an unacceptable length. Rohell's face shows his insecurity and nervousness. There are tears in Cupcake's eyes. But finally she squeezes out (after a prompting from the judge) an "acepto." The deed is done and they sign the papers that need to be signed.

There are tears in her eyes and little Margarito notices and asks Tia about them. "It's the emotion!" Tia says, and adds that this is the biggest day of a woman's life.

Rohell also has them exchange rings and his enthusiasm is clearly much higher than Cupcake's. She goes through the motions.

She takes her sweet time answering in the affirmative.

Which causes Rohell to become nervous again.

She reminds him, "JUST ONE YEAR!"

Don't remind him! He obviously doesn't like it.

The tearful bride.

Time to exchange the rings.

More hand-kissing.

At least Rohell is happy.

Back at Gus's birthday party, a party-pooper, Juan, is stirring up trouble. He's insinuating that Gus hasn't been good on his word to look after their interests and stop the construction of the hotel if it doesn't comply with the law. Gus thinks this guy has a personal axe to grind. Fermin doesn't get what's with Juan either. For the sake of my sanity I will condense the Boca del Cielo scenes. But here's a nice screenshot of Gus:

Oh he with the beautiful eyelashes.

Back at the happy wedding, it's time for the beso. Tia MentiRosa is chanting "Beso, beso, beso!" the loudest. Rohell looks slightly amused by this. Cupcake looks slightly sedated. Finally she turns to him and gives him a brief peck on the lips. You can see that this is not going to satisfy him. He gently guides her face back to his and gets a more appropriate wedding kiss.

The wedding kiss is of insufficient duration.

Let's try that again, he decides.

THAT'S more like it!

Vainessa is still locked up in the barn-whatever-it-is and is upset because she can't get a signal to call out to her father.

More fighting and conflict between Juan and Gus at the birthday party. Gus doesn't like what Juan is insinuating—that he is in cahoots with David and is corrupt. Fermin tries to speak reason. FF>>>

Back at the wedding, a delusional Rohell says something heartfelt to Cupcake. I had to use my listening skills to discern this, but I think he's saying, "My love, the impossible can be possible and we can be happy." Or something like that. It sounds like something uncharacteristically optimistic and romantic, especially coming from douchebag Rohell who supposedly doesn't know anything about love. Cupcake looks at him like she's wondering if he's been smoking something.

"We can be happy!" (Or something.)

"Are you smoking dope?" Well, she's thinking it.

Then shortly after, Rohell urges Cupcake to smile! She musters a less-than-enthusiastic smile in response.

"Here's your darn smile, now get off my back."

 There's a funny scene where Cupcake is taken by Miguel for congratulations (read: consoling) and Tia takes a photo op with Rohell. This screenshot captures so much: Miguel comforting an obviously upset Cupcake. Dany with her arms crossed like she is just not into all of this. Tia's overly effusive smile and Rohell's plastered-on smile.

Just take in the whole picture here. Pretty funny. The bride is being consoled by her brother. The bride's best friend is not elated. The groom is barely able to smile at all. The only one really happy at the moment is gold-digging Tia!

I've just about run out of steam. The rest of this recap will be in bulleted style with a few choice screencaps.

Maria congratulates Rohell. He seems very happy and hopeful. Then she turns to Cupcake and repeats her hopes for their happiness.

Sin-thia pretends to congratulate Paula but instead warns her about trying to hurt Rohell and basically calls her a gold-digger.

Rohell introduces his bride to some of the local big shots. She shakes their hands. Rohell seems to be enjoying all of this.

Bruno tells Sinthia that it looks like Rohell is in love. They turn to look at Rohell and Cupcake and it does look like Rohell is gazing adoringly at his bride. Sinthia just thinks he's using Cupcake. Bruno says nobody knows what will happen.

Tia urges Miguel to dance with Cupcake, because after all, Rohell can't. As they dance, Tia sits down next to Rohell and reminds him of what a good girl Cupcake is. "I know that." Rohell replies.

Bruno asks to dance with Tia. They go off and start whispering about their various nefarious douchebaggery. Bruno doesn't believe that Tia isn't absolutely elated that Cupcake married Rohell, even though she tries to convince him that she'd rather Cupcake marry him (Bruno). Rohell looks on at them with puzzlement and curiosity.

David tries to convince Sinthia that Rohell really is into Cupcake. She won't believe it.

Gossip lady (can never remember her name) is smirking about Rohell's marriage. Obviously Cupcake married him for his money! But what does Rohell get out of it? Ulisis (the husband) wonders. Gossip lady speculates that Rohell, being a cripple, is lonely and he decided to buy someone to alleviate his loneliness. It's scenes like these that make me feel more sympathy for Rohell. He must know that he gets a lot of that kind of talk behind his back. (But it doesn't excuse his douchebaggery!)

Bruno cuts in on Miguel and dances with Cupcake. He gives her his fakey cow eyes and says how he wishes it were him married to her, blah blah. Cupcake looks uncomfortable. Sinthia goes to where Rohell is seated and taunts him with the idea that Cupcake is with another man. Rohell's temper immediately flares and you see him looking for his absent whip. Sinthia laughs and asks him if he's already regretting getting married?

Rohell rolls up to Cupcake and Bruno. He wants to talk to his bride. He also reminds Bruno to respect his esposa. "I got that real clear" replies Bruno. Back at their table, Rohell is still fuming. Cupcake reminds him that she's SUPPOSED to dance with the guests! "But not Bruno!" he snaps. She reminds him that she's here to "fingir" (pretend) to be happy. He sheepishly asks if she's not at least a little bit happy? No, not really, since she's being used by him to get back at Vainessa. He tries to assure her that it's not the case. She's not buying it.

Back the Boca del Cielo, Fermin advises Gus to move on with his life. Gus says that he met AP at the beach, he'll forget her there.

Tia and Elena are looking for the bathroom. Elena comments that Cupcake isn't happy. Tia is just happy that the marriage has been done.

Little Margarito asks to dance with Cupcake. Rohell makes a point of saying that Margarito has to make sure it's okay with Cupcake first. Okay, sure it is. They dance as Rohell, much calmer now, looks on at them with that old besotted look on his face.

Dancing with little Margarito.

Sinthia and Ephraim dance. David wants to object but Sinthia convinces him it's okay because he's an employee of her brother. She urges David to dance with Tia. He does. After a while he cuts in on Sinthia and Ephriam. This allows Ephriam to dance with Tia. She flirts with him. He seems to go along with it while giving confused faces behind her back. FF>>>

More with Dany and Miguel in the kitchen. Forget about me, we're breaking up, blah blah. Maripaz listens in.

Bruno sneaks into the kitchen with Miguel. They drink alcohol and Bruno says something about how drink will cure their ills. Or something. Whatever. Bruno has a sneaky look on his face as if he's hoping to get some info out of Miguel.

Sinthia makes some crass remark about Cupcake's parents not being there. Cupcake overhears (as Sinthia intended) and says that they're dead, but if they were alive she'd love them to attend. She reminds Sinthia that she's in the same boat, as both her parents are dead too. This shuts Sinthia up.

Don Federico tries to crash the party. An angry Rohell won't allow it. Federico calls him the same old bad names. They exchange words. How dare Rohell dump Vainessa, just to marry someone else? "That's my business!" Rohell answers. "Besides, it would have been rude to not cancel that wedding before having this one!" (Or something like that.) In anger, Federico grasps at Rohell's lapels. Since this is on Rohell's turf, Rohell is not inclined to take it and resists Federico, and Hugo interferes as well. 

Fed is not welcomed.

Excitement at the wedding!

Hugo intervenes as well.

The neighborhood gossip hears all.

Rohell asks to speak to Fed alone for a moment, before he is escorted off the premises. Rohell says that Fed has no business there, and he doesn't know how he even found out about the wedding. Fed vows to make Rohell regret ever becoming a business partner. Rohell warns him to not make threats. Fed is escorted away as Rohell's mood still remains dark.

Inside the hacienda, Maria advises Cupcake. She wants her to be patient with Rohell—try to understand him. "In reality, he is a good man." Cupcake explains about Rohell's revenge plot and how she was used by him. Maria doesn't accept this. She believes Rohell married her because he cares for her. "You can change him" Maria says, optimistically. Maria explains how devastated Rohell was after Vainessa dumped him. He wouldn't eat. He didn't want to live. For a vital, strong man like that, it was a big deal. This registers on Cupcake's pity meter. Her look softens.

Maria appeals to Cupcake to be more understanding of Rohell.

Sandwiched in between the drama at the wedding, we have Esteban visiting Mercedes and telling her about how Vainessa was dumped, and how he might have another chance with her. Mercedes looks ambivalent.

Viewerville's advice to Esteban on taking Vainessa back: RUN FOR YOUR LIFE! GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN!

 As Federico is being escorted out, Dany (foolishly, it turns out) follows after him. She wants to talk. She asks the servants to delay kicking him out for a moment. He is surprised to see her there and she explains that her best friend is the bride. Federico begs Dany to bring Cupcake to talk to him, as he has something VERY important to tell her. Dany drags Cupcake out. Fed tells the obvious. Rohell is a douchebag. Well, no sh*t, Sherlock.

They both explain to Fed that they didn't know of Rohell's douchebaggy plans for Vainessa when Cupcake agreed to marry him. However, it comes out that Cupcake did know before she said "I do" of what Rohell did. Fed will hear nothing more.  He can't believe that Cupcake still went ahead with the wedding, knowing what she did about Rohell. "I get it now. I thought you were a good girl, but now I see that you and Rohell are two peas in a pod." He then goes on to fire Dany.

Dany joins the ranks of the unemployed.

END OF EPISODE!!! I thought I would never get through it all! I think I deserve a special jewel-encrusted beanie for doing this! LOL.

Avances:

* More kissing at the wedding.
* Cupcake defies Rohell over something. (I am past caring what they said after 65 screenshots. I hope you understand why.)
* Rohell expects Cupcake to share the same bedroom and bed with him. Cupcake looks impactada.

He expects her to share the same bedroom, and the same bed. Let's see how that works.

Once again my son failed to finish his recap, so I'll put it up for you! - Melinama

Enzo and Vins are grumbling via cellphone about communist Pancho, who for some reason cares that many people will lose their livelihood if his plan to expand the business falls apart (evidently they've run out of money mid-project). Panch himself drives up to Avon and Vins hops out of the car to follow him and dive into the same elevator at the last second.

In the Elevator Vins taunts Pancho like a kid. They bicker like boys in front of the sign that says "the company for women." They take off their jackets and throw some of those Univision patently fake punches. Pancho bleeds from the mouth but gives Vins a quick knee to the crotch and a fist to the face.

Haha, their little fake fight cheered them both up. They immediately straighten each other's suit jackets (so cute!) and look like normal for the people standing outside the elevator (except for the blood dripping out of their noses).

Beto is back in apocalipsis mode. Everyone is in the meeting. At the meeting, everyone's fretting over the injuries, but the two children play it off. Pancho's solution for the liquidity problem is to borrow money from a bank. The rest of the participants are stunned! Beto declares him a genius! Only Rebe has the idea that that's what businesses do.

Vins: CARAY. He and Pancho almost come to blows again, but sandra shows up just in time with a plate of cookies for each. More chocolate, less war!

Temo has a scene, with his hair in full something-about-mary mode... que bonita es el amors. but the kiss. BAAARF

Now Lupita is looking ill, and even worse, she is starting to accept the idea that Freddy might be ok. Melinama is delighted with Freddy shows up at Casa Los Lopez with a uniformed big Banda Los Recoditos, swaying in unison in brightly colored uniforms, and two singers! The maids are both swooning! Freddy really scores some points, especially with music-lover Ana.

The band is really cute after the song; the singer asks for maybe a sandwich or a game of soccer. Freddy to Ana: the only important thing is that you smile.

Pina has something in the works... she's trying to set up a dinner with Vins. Vins tries to get out of it with the normal excuses.

Candy is ready to set her own apocalypse into acting, waiting anxiously at the corner for Vince to drive up. Just as he turns up she pretends to be happily chatting with somebody and then grabs him and kisses him wildly as Vince looks on aghast.

This is her "first love" who's now just a really good-looking friend helping her make Vince mad so he'll reject her (this is the promise she made to Preggers Pina).

Vins tells her to go to hell. She falls to pieces, then calls Pina to say the deed is done. Pina whispers to herself: everything's falling into place.

Candy goes home and runs to Lupita for consolation, and the girl steps up to the plate (literally), coming down to dinner for the first time since she was widowed.

The doorbell rings, Pancho answers it (expecting an apoogetic Vins), but instead gets "Menso," ie Rinaldi. Enzzo is a) is peeved about the constant mispronunciations and b) wants to see Chela. Pancho: aghast again.

Whoah! Menso is coming to throw some dogs at Chela and admits as much to Pancho. They yell at each other. Pancho doesn't think he has good intentions. Chela shows up and she yells at Pancho. He came for me, so don't you think I should choose whether he can come in?

Aww, Pina gets shot down again. She greets Vins with a rose in her mouth, and he tells her it's a bunch of silliness. I hope she just tears him up! She's bullied him into a dinner, but he's finnicky... he keeps wishing she'd stop smiling (he kinda knows something's up) and she's enjoying it.

Pina, very excited about her powerful piece of news, doesn't let herself be discouraged by Vince's rejections. When he says he's going upstairs to be alone, she insists he eat or he won't get the news that will change his life. When he refuses, she threatens cheerfully to take away your stocks. She keeps reminding him not to call her Josefina. Instead he calls her Pinis.

Finally she gets him in his chair, gets Ado to pour the wine (which pregnant women shouldn't drink) for a toast. By this time Vince can't take it any more and gets up to leave. He's almost gone when she says "You're going to be a papa." We watch his slow-mo dizzy twirling faint.

Desperate to get the ecstatic reaction she'd hoped for, Pina begs: Image a mini-Pini with long blond hair, with my face, imagine her telling you you're the handsomest pop. Instead of ecstatic, he looks a bit constipated and demands furiously: who gave you permission to get pregnant? lol. He firmly tells her he hasn't wanted (loved/cherished) her for a long time, that their marriage is in a hole and he's going to sleep in the guest room. She's crushed and, sobbing, blames this all on his being Candy's lover.

Back at los Lopez, Chela rushes away from the dining table to save Enzzo from Pancho's harangue. She tells Pancho to stuff it. She sweetly tells Enzo: she can't hang with him right this moment, it's dinner time, but she'll see him at the gym. I bet she will, ;)

Chela and Pancho yell at each other. She admits she likes Enzo. Pancho's the picture of spitting indignation remembering all the awful stunts Enzzo the Pesketeer has pulled. She's utterly furious at Pancho's childish and self-centered idea that she's doing this just to make him jealous (of course, to be fair, last time she invented a suitor for exactly that reason).

He stupidly tells Rebe (who calls mid-scene) about all this trouble, and she's very displeased to hear him sounding jealous, and reminds him she never wants to hear this blah-blah-blah about Chela, and hangs up. Great, now he's in trouble with both of them.

Chela goes to the dining room and announces to everybody that she likes Transeti. There's a lot of yelling but the best of them say she can live her life as she pleases. She's in empowered mode, it must be the new clothes and schooling. All the kids swiftly turn to Chela's side. Even Temo points the finger at Pancho: "You made my aunt cry. That's not what you taught me."

Following is an abbreviated recap of Capitulo Dos of 'El Talisman'. I am so upset by the violent content in this episode that I cannot enjoy the recap.  Univision and Venevsion, the violence in this episode was gratuitous and unnecessary. I am truly appalled at your using such unacceptable behavior to enhance your ratings during sweeps.

• We start out in Fresno with Pedro Ibarra and Camila Najera. She repeats her question of the day before, “What did you feel when you met me yesterday? He answers that the best way to find out is with a kiss. Then we have several minutes of lovely romantic scenes of the two of them kissing in various Fresno beauty spots.

• Next we are in a hotel room in New York where Mariana Aceves tells Antonio Negrete that she is pregnant. He announces that it is the best news of his life. She is surprised to hear him say that because she has mixed feelings. What about his divorce? He replies with the comment, “Who knows if the papers have arrived at the ranch?”

• Back at El Talisman Mariana tells Pedro Ibarra she is pregnant. He looks shocked. She also tells her father, Don Bernardo, who tells she and Pedro that he is dying of cancer. He proposes that Pedro marry Mariana and take care of her.

• At the Negrete ranch next-door Antonio gives the news of Mariana Aceves’ pregnancy to his dad, Gregorio. Antonio points out that he is about to be the father of the heir to El Talisman.

• Because of the cancer, Don Bernardo has decided to sell El Talisman to Estaban Najera and his family. He goes to Texas to do the deal, sorts the terms with Esteban Najera and they agree to close the deal in three months

• In the Negrete stables, Antonio messes with some tack as he talks to his sister Lucrezia.  She points that their Dad (Gregorio) says he is still married to Doris. She also says she knows that he doesn’t like Doris but he sure seems to like having sex with her. Antonio tells Lucrezia that El Talisman will be his because of his child-to-be with Mariana.

• Mariana overhears Antonio boasting of this. Antonio grabs her by the neck, threatens her and tells her he will not be separated from his son.

• Camila calls Pedro.  Pedro asks Camila to be patient with him. He can’t explain but lots of things are going on.

• Mariana tells Pedro that Antonio will try to take her baby from her. She is very frightened because his lawyers will tear her to shreds. Pedro says that because of Don Bernardo’s earlier request he will marry Mariana.  She understands that it will be a marriage of convenience.

• Cut to El Talisman, Don Bernardo’s bedroom, same day, same outfits. Some Justice of the Peace pronounces Pedro and Mariana married. The doctor and a dying Bernardo witness the marriage. Bernardo asks Pedro to get El Talisman back and give it to Marianna and his grandchild.

• Don Bernardo’s last words are to Pedro, his new son-in-law. “Pedro, get El Talisman back.” Don Bernardo dies.

• Back in Texas Estaban and the Najeras get the legal papers that tell them they now own El Talisman.  They travel to Cal and take possession of the ranch. Gregorio Negrete comes over to El Talisman looking for Mariana and finds Camila instead. Gregorio and Camila get in to a fight. Camila tells him that her parents just bought the ranch.  She gives him a slap and he leaves swearing he will have El Talisman.

• Later Gregorio comes back to El Talisman and tries to intimidate the Najeras out of El Talisman. They think he is crazy.  At this point why haven’t we called the police?

• Gregoio decides to reverse tactics and get El Talisman from the Nejeras’ by being neighborly. He invites the new neighbors to dinner. The Negrete’s scheme on how they will get the ranch through Elvira Najera because she rules the roost.

• Pedro goes out to catch up with Camila. He and Mariana have moved to another home nearby. While Pedro is gone, Gregorio goes to a pregnant Mariana’s house and beats her up. Yes, he hits, slaps and kicks a pregnant woman. I cannot STAND this. He tells Mariana that regardless of what her father that ‘damned Bernardo’ did he will get the El Talisman back.

• Meanwhile Pedro meets Camila for five minutes at El Talisman and gives her a red rose. He promises to set up a time when they can get together and talk and he can explain why he has been acting so odd since she returned from Texas and moved into El Talisman. He still hasn’t told her about his marriage of convenience to Mariana.  Just as he gives Camila the rose the phone rings and he is called to Mariana’s side.

• Mariana is in the hospital, badly injured and she has lost the baby. Pedro harasses a police officer to do something about Mariana’s case. The police officer tells Pedro that they cannot just act on Mariana’s accusation. (This is just wrong. California has some of the toughest domestic violence laws in the US. If Mariana or anybody else named Gregorio as her assailant a case would be put together, no matter how much money Gregorio has.)

• Immediately after assaulting and beating Mariana, Gregorio changes clothes and hosts Elvira and Estaban Najera for dinner where he charms both of them, especially Elvira. Gross. After dinner, Valentin, Greg’s henchman tells him that Esteban has a fatal weakness— a compulsive gambling problem.

• Camila hires Tracy to cook for them at El Talisman. Later Elvira is seen by Tracy going out by herself, all dolled up. Camila is also dressed up to go meet Pedro.

• Pedro is at the hospital visiting Mariana, who has had a psychotic break.  She doesn’t recognize Pedro and she is holding and talking to an invisible baby.

The good news: We get an extra helping every night!
The bad news: It makes it impossible for this recapper to cheat work ahead, so my style may lean toward the crappy slap-dash. Univision's English CC was non-existent for me tonight. Fill in as needed. ¡Gracias!

• Sin begs Rohell to let her stay a few days “to comfort Vanessa and look for another nurse.” Riiight. When she mentions canceling the wedding stuff, Rohell interrupts and tells her no. He’ll take care of that.
• Tia is so pleased to know Rohell broke his engagement with Nessie. Bruno is surprised to find out Tia is coming to the hacienda, too. Rohell shows up and tells Bruno he’ll be staying in Tuxtla to make sure Fede pays the contractual penalty. He tells VanBruno Sin is staying a couple of days and the two of them need to be back by the 27th (They rarely say actual dates on a TN…this must be important.) Rohell rubs VanBrunos nose in the fact that Sinthia never even accepted VanBruno’s proposal.
• Tia hurries Cupcake along. Cupcake bids bro a final adiós topped off with a cuídate. Tia reminds everyone to shut up about the boda. Cupcake reminds him to get his sorry ass well so all this sacrifice of hers will be worth it (loose translation.) Tia lays on a little more guilt. Thanks to Cupcake, he’ll never have to go back to that prison where they might have killed him.
• Sin goes to visit Nessie and gets an earful from Elsie. Mama may never wants to see Rohell’s sister ever again, but Nessie does. Sin feels just awful. Nessie doesn’t want Sin’s pity or help. If Rohell or anyone thinks she’s destroyed because he left her they are wrong!
• Rohell gives Tia a tour. She says it was worth the long trip (I swear I heard a faint “ka-ching”.) Greetings from Maria who has prepared a Cocido Chiapaneco to welcome everyone home…but they ate on the road. Cupcake introduces Tia. Maria mentions that it’s too bad M-grito is sleeping. He would have loved to see Ana. 
• Rohell confronts Effer about Paloma. Why did he let the horse die? Effer starts the “the vet came late” song and dance and Rohell starts the “crack the whip menacingly” song and dance. Cupcake intervenes and adds the “don’t beat on people” two-step. Rohell reminds Ana not contradict him or undermine his authority in front of the employees. She won’t allow him to behave like a savage. Rohell asks her how does she know he’s not. Because when he was in Tuxtla he didn’t need to use force at all! She wants to know why he went back to his old self as soon as he got back to the hacienda. What's so  he afraid of that he can't stop brandishing his fuete (whip)?
• Effer tells Maria about being rescued by Cupcake. He’s pretty pleased with himself. Good for you but bad for her Maria says. Rohell is capable of anything.
• Rehash of episode 2 convo: People respond to kindness. Life sucks, but don’t let it make you bitter and want to get revenge on everyone (desquitarse.) Sure, not being able to walk after being so robust (recio) did affect him, but he needs to try to enjoy what he has. Rohell interprets that to mean “resign himself.” That’s not what she means. She means accept his condition and stop being a douchebag (Ioose translation.) He asks her about the attitude she'll be bringing to the marriage.
• Squeaky D, Unibrow and his new play toy Pelota. They blabbity blah about Cupcake’s upcoming nuptials and Bruno conveniently eavesdrops. All he’s missing is an evil black mustache to menacingly twirl while Mwhahahah-ing.
• Cupcake fights with Rohell. She's gonna be his wife, not slave. She's gonna call him out on his crap. She's not going to stop calling him Usted, either. Who knows when he'll whip out his (literal) whip (no double entendre.)
• Sin and Nessie check out the headlines in the local gossip rags. Sin reminds Nessie how much the first break up hurt Rohell and she is convinced that really she is the one that has suffered the most (I don’t get her logic.) Some lines. Sin has to be back at the hacienda by the 26th to sign some papers. The “pow” sound affect alerts Viewerville to remember that date.
• Tia has made herself very comfortable. M-grito runs in. Big hugs and loud-ass “te extraños”. Tia meets M-grito. He offers to show her around. She sashays out to get ready.
• GusGus talks to Newb and is about to suggest he not continue to work on the project when David sneaks up. 
• Tia gets the hacienda tour…in heels. She’s an idiot. She thinks M-grito will know how many hectares there are. M-grito tells her to talk to Effer. Tia dreams of becoming a dueña no matter what.
• David dismisses Newb and I tune out. We know this. David is a lying, cost-cutting ass and GusGus is all about protecting the fisherman. Fill in if I missed anything.
• Maria and Cupcake talk about the latest confrontation. Maria is worried about Rohell's reaction. Conned tells Cupcake that Rohell wants to see her in her room. Scandalous!! As Cupcake leaves Effer comes in and asks Maria about Sin. Conned hears and asks why. Effer blows some blabbity blab that neither lady believes.
• Rohell bought Cupcake some new duds. She uses to the familiar form of address and chooses a blue form of a dress.
• VanBruno calls Tia and he’s pretty annoyed. Tia pretends that she only just found out and almost had a heart attack herself. What.evs. She still tries to keep the VanBruno end of the candle lit. But what can she say? Rohell won.
• Rohell cow eyes Cupcake in her new dress. He wants the necklace she’s wearing. But it’s an memento that she loves!! It doesn’t go with her dress, though. He wantssss the preciousssss. He says to put it in a box with the rest of her past. She agrees… if agrees to put away the whip. Score one for Cupcake.
• Rohell hands over the whip. Folks will still obey him...even Cupcake. Cupcake takes off the necklace. Cupcake hides them away in a drawer.
• Tia thinks the hacienda is a dream. Ana hopes it doesn't become a nightmare. Tia encourages Cupcake to be a tough cookie with the employees and not a cream puff. Cupcake refuses. 
• Fermin talks about the fishing. GusGus talks about the project and winning over the fishermen. FF>>
• Ana does the physical therapy things. She hopes when they are married, Rohell will continue with the therapy and won't be a douchebag (loose translation.)
• Maria finds out the marriage is one of convenience and  only for a year. Wow. Hugo had lines! (He tells Cupcake Rohell has a surprise for her.)
• Nessie cries. Fede explains the contractual penalty. Nessie is impactada. 
• Ana gets her wedding gift: A dim-witted brother!!! She's thrilled and kisses Rohell on the cheek. Rohell pulls a Marsha Brady just got kissed by Davy Jones.
• Nessie and Fede talk penalties.  Fede is more than willing to pay it. She knows Daddy loves her more than anybody (until he finds out the truth about Cupcake), but she refuses to give Rohell that money.
• Unibrow thanks Rohell. Hugo has more lines. Ana and Rohell take a ride on the helicopter. She's happy. Jorge Salinas' eyes melt my heart. 
• Sin tells Maria about Rohell publicly dumping Nessie. Maria is relieved, but tells Sin there are impending nuptials, but Rohell asked her not to say to whom. Effer arrives with an envelope for Rohell. Sin crosses the privacy boundaries and opens the envelope to discover plane tickets with Rohell and Ana Pau's names. 
• Nessie wants revenge on Rohell. Fede clutches his chest. Rohell really makes him mad. Nessie presses her revenge case. She wants Rohell to be the one to pay. Fede asks what she suggests. I'm sure Viewerville will learn the answer in the coming weeks. 
• Sin accuses Tia of setting Cupcake on Rohell. Tia denies it (*eyeroll*) Sin can't quite understand how Rohell got so interested. Tia insists it's because her niece is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious and understands Rohell. And for him that's enough. Tia makes a grand exit. 
• Helicopter ride. Pretty sites and hand holding. FF>>
• Sin tells Nessie about the wedding with Cupcake.
• Miguel is on parole and won't have to go back to jail. He and Tia argue about Cupcake marrying without love. Tia is convinced Rohell is a sheep in wolf's clothing (I'm not saying I think Rohell redemption is impossible, but an endorsement from Tia is not necessarily a good thing.) Tia reminds him Cyclops will kill him if he returns to jail. 
• Nessie thinks surely Rohell's marriage to Cupcake is a joke. Sin says everyone is saying he will marry tomorrow and she has plane tickets with both names on them! Nessie finally seems to get how far Rohell will go to hurt her.  She needs Daddy's support for her plan o' vengance. 
• Rohell wants Cupcake to comport herself like the dueña she'll be. She's thought about his earlier question about what attitude she'll bring to the marriage. She wants the year they are married to be the best they can make of it. Rohell wants that too.
• Fermin and GusGus. Same spit different scene. Juan is a rabble-rouser (Where the hell have I seen that actor before?) They have to nip it in the bud. FF>>
• Rohell wants Miguel to stay on after the wedding. 
• Sin confronts Rohell about the wedding. She feels hoodwinked into planning the wedding for "esa tipa." He's ruining Nessies life and hers! Sin can't believe he's her brother. Rohell insists she'll be one of his witnesses'and she'll keep her trap shut or kiss seeing David goodbye. She hopes he enjoys himself on his honeymoon with that ... gata! Tia gloats from her hiding place. 
• David and GusGus pissing contest. GusGus is going to get papers to shut down the project. Juan tells David anything to do with the construction is Juan's business. FF>>
• VanBruno arrives. He is sad Cupcake didn't tell him about the wedding. She can count on him. She knows her heart belongs to GusGus, but he'll contine to wait for her. Bruno haz a Slimy. He better not cut off an ear. 
• Tia wants to know if there is a beauty parlor nearby. Tia is a be-yotch to Maria. Social standing bologna.
• Miguel's freedom cost a buttload. Rohell tells VanBruno to keep his distance form Cupcake.
• Maria thinks Rohell "querer"s Cupcake...in the "cherish" sense. She's never seen him like this. Maria asks if Ana Pau could grow to love him. That's a negatory, but she will make him as happy as possible given the situation. Maria thinks deep down he's not a ratfink (I trust her endorsement more than Tía's.)
• VanBruno congratulates Rohell. Ana arrives to remind Rohell about his therapy. He's glad she's occupying herself with seeing to what he needs. He gives her the tickets for the honeymoon. she looks happy. Rohell leaves. 
• Sin talks to Cupcake. She tells her all aout the humillación de Nessie. The only reason Rohell wanted to marry was to get his revenge on Nessie. Cupacke cries.
• Maria is glad Rohell is marrying Cupcake. Sweet scene with Maria and Rohell. Maria is pretty sure Rohell is feeling more for Cupcake than he cares to admit. She advises Rohell to try to be happy (or to make Cupcake happy...I didn't catch it.)
• Sin tells Cupcake Rohell never stopped loving Nessie. Cupcake can't believe he would plan something so cold. Sin insists Rohell is using Cupcake.
• GusGus mopes. He can't stop thinking about Ana. Tomorrow is his birthday. FF>>
• Cupcake confrontation. She can't marry Rohell. She thought he wanted her company because he was alone. (Ah, methinks the lady's ego doth smart.) But he reminds her she signed a contract. 
• Sin tells David that he has to get to the hacienda tomorrow. Rohell is going to marry Cupcake the oportunista and that Sin might lose her inheritance. David says she can't let that happen. Wuv. Twu Wuv. (*snort*)
• Rohell reminds Cupcake if she doesn't carry out her part Miguel is going back to jail. She lets him know she will fake being his wife to perfection.
• Cupcake whines to Tia about it all. Tia thinks it's no biggie. Tia says she still has to marry him.  He used her and vice versa. She has to help her family, right? Tame the beast, ok? Tia says to rest and tomorrow Cupcake will see things differently. Tomorrow is another day (yeah, she really said that.) 

Wedding day!!!!

• Rohell pouts. He's already regretting it all. Ana Pau doesn't value what he's offering. Maria tells him to behave with her and take advantage of what life is giving him. 
• Ana Pau pouts
• Tia encourages her. It's not for the rest of Cupcakes life and she's getting a lot out of it!
• Maria tells Rohell to forget about revenge. Do right by Ana Pau. Tell her everything is over with Nessie and he wants things to be different with her.  Maria is a romantic! 
• Squeaky and Miguel share a big smoochie.
• Cupcake will marry Rohell, but he shouldn't expect respect or affection. She thought he was changing, but he's not. All Rohell cares about is her complying with the wedding and wearing the necklace he bought her. She doesn't want to wear his dog collar! He reminds her she is her property while she's under contract to him. Dude. Not cool. Were you even listening to Maria? Asshat. 

Avances

• Ana Pau is in a better dress!
• Nessie Crashes the wedding!
• Ana Pau slaps nessie!
