Abismo de pasión #4 3/15/12: Pop Goes The Sleazel
Yeeks! We open with a refresher of Medusa in confession. She acts so possessed I keep waiting for her head to turn 360s. Even the background music sounds Exorcisty. “Es me cuñado” never sounded so satanic.
We then get the expected griping about sis stealing what Carmina deserved and Car being driven crazy by jealousy. Lupe bravely refutes the demon (well, it’s his job isn’t it?), Augusto always loved Estefania, he says. He really lets her have it while she strangles her rosary. Then she starts hissing some drivel about getting money, power and position through Rosendo. Her green eyes bug out as she bares her white fangs and pronounces that Padre Lupe is now her accomplice because he can’t tell her secret to anyone. He jumps out of the confessional, grabs her and manages to wrestle the rosary out of the infidel's grasp, but otherwise he’s pretty impotent.
Rosendo and Fina argue loudly about Damian and Gael getting caught red-handed pilfering from mom’s purse. Damian overhears and explains the money was for him, not Gael. He lost the money pops gave him and he had to pay for the amulets. He got them so that mom and dad would remember they love each other and stop fighting. Oopsie, out of the mouth of babes.
The pugilistic parents are humbled and dad asks Damian to promise never to take money without asking. He believes his son won’t steal again and to prove it dad reveals to Damian where he keeps the petty cash “in case of emergencies”. As heir to the ranch it’s time for Damian to know this and act responsibly. Damian gets his 100 pesos from the cofre and they hug, awwwww what a sweet scene.
Over at Casa Castañon they are getting ready for mass. Augusto gets on Estef’s case for confronting Fina but Estefania holds her ground. She says that sort of nasty chisme could affect the children! “ (Would someone please turn that darn music box down!?) Augusto backs down and admits he had a conversation with Rosendo. Fact - Ros is fooling around but wouldn’t say with whom. Elisa joins them and the temporarily happy family heads off to church. Bad hair dad asks will Carmina join them? Estef says no way would Carmina go into a church, not by accident and certainly not for Our Father’s mass. She forgot about option #3.
The local watering hole - Creepy Carmina sees Creepier Gabino ride up and go inside for a snort. Gab spies Lucio at a table and decides to ruin his night. Gab says Lucio might have won the battle but the war’s not over. Thanks for the warning, says Lucio, slamming his drink but looking like he'd rather slam Gab's head into the table.
After Lucio leaves Carmina slithers in and shakes her bootie, I kid you not. Gab bites, he wonders why she’s not at mass with the others. He’s pretty sure Rosendo wouldn’t like to hear she’s at the cantina. “Hey, I’m single, right? Ya wanna dance?” she coos. Nopis, says the perplexed Gabino, so Carmina grabs another dude and hits the dance floor.
Fina and Rosendo are arguing AGAIN about Gael being Damian’s pal. She just wants to know why Rosendo insists on usurping her authority at every opportunity. (Uh, because you’re an insane, hideous witch who is trying to turn your son into a snotty butthead?) They agree on one thing, living with each other in this house is hell for both of them. Fina rues the day she married him, she should have married a Don Nadie, maybe another man would value her! He calls her hysterical and then hysterically slams the door behind him.
The church bells ring and the whole town gathers for mass accompanied by the choir of angels. Padre Loopy prays about the heavy load he is carrying. Then padre and Gael prepare themselves for the mass, so cute.
Rosendo goes to the stables for a ride just as Gabino trots up with the 411 that Carmina is over at the cantina behaving like a medusa in heat. This causes Rosendo to saddle up and gallop off. He's a busy dude, pithed off wife, demanding slut on the side, life's tough for the hot sauce king.
Now we pay a little visit to the yerberia in the woods where Ramona is giving Paloma a hard time for losing the canasta (basket) of bread and not earning a peso. Paloma says she didn’t exactly lose it and she’ll retrieve it tomorrow. Also, it looks like the birdies died so Paloma thinks Ramona should return the money. (She hasn’t actually been paid yet, has she?) Ramona tells the kid to mind her own business but the poor tyke says her grandma is her business. She doesn’t like it that everyone calls granny una bruja and a bad person. That’s why she doesn’t have any friends, boo hoo. Gran gets nice and tells Paloma not to worry about the birds, she’ll see what she can do to make Elisa happy.
Rosendo finds Carmina strolling into Rancho Castañon. He blusters that she’s his, all his. Prove you love me then, she demands. She wins, he’ll do whatever she wants. “Good, get me out of this damn town,” she hisses. They smear each other with “kisses” or their disgusting version of such.
Fina visits Damian’s room to apologize for the fight but mostly to try, yet again, to stick it to Gael. Why can’t Damian have other friends? He says she doesn’t like any of his village friends. She crazily insists he’s better than all the other kids and she wants to send him away to a good school where he can meet others of his class. Damian’s not happy about mom’s Dickensian dream.
Rosendo and Camila have taken it out of the street and are now snoodling in the bushes. Under a bright light. Yeah sure they don't want to get caught. Ros says he needs a couple of weeks, think of the scandal, no way to avoid it, blah blah blah. That’s why they need to be gone when the mierda hits the fan, says Carmina. He definitely wants to split with her but he can’t help thinking about his son, how much he loves him and doesn’t want to leave him. She feigns sympathy, says she would love to take the boy with them but...but...Rosendo agrees it would be too cruel, not to mention Damian will probably never forgive him. He says it’s an impossible situation but he can’t break the Tangel-ho habit. More clumsy kissing ensues and I can't bear to watch.
The mass is over and familia Castañon arrive home. Estefania peeps out the back door in time to see Rosendo and Carmina snogging under the trees. Busted!
Carmina sees the lights go on and fears they’ve been discovered. Rosendo says he’ll make up some half-a$$ed tale to explain his presence. She makes him promise on the name of his son that he’ll escape with her. For some reason he doesn’t seem to find this demand completely distasteful and inappropriate.
Elisa is setting the table when Carmina and Rosendo walk in alleging that Rosendo was waiting to talk to Augusto. Elisa stares at aunt Carmina who looks like she just ate a flock of canaries. The kid knows something is up with creepy Tia.
Que haces aqui? asks Augusto. Oh, er, Rosendo was just talking to the cuñada waiting for Augusto to get home. Augusto says that’s kind of weird considering Rosendo and Carmina can’t stand each other. Rosendo claims he stopped by to let Augusto know he’ll sign some contract at work tomorrow. “And you had to come to my house at this hour to tell me?” wonders Augusto. He asks why Ros is so nervous and preoccupied, did he want to say anything else? Like about the woman he’s in love with?
Estefania confronts Carmina, Car is Rosendo’s secret lover, right? Carmina tries to deny deny deny but Stef stands firm. She saw them kissing in her own garden. How could Carmina steal another wife’s man? Uh, correction, insists Car, Ros and Fina were terminados long ago, she ain’t stealin’ nuthin’. Estef insists Car has no right break up a family. “What? I don’t have a right to be happy LIKE YOU?” whines Car. Estef asks why Rosendo when there are a thousand other guys around? El corazon se manda, retorts Carmina. Estef says Car sure is a great actress, pretending she hates Rosendo. And thanks to Carmina’s affair Fina thinks Ros is having it on with Estef. This misunderstanding is all Carmina’s fault. Carmina pretends to care and weeps her apology. She says what Estef saw was a good-bye. She broke it off with Rosendo, it’s over, she promises, and vows it on the memory of their father. The sisters hug and we get the classic telenovela over-the-shoulder hateful glare from bug-eye Carmina.
The halftime credits roll, mighty car crash, arm wrestling, boobs and biceps, fire and explosion!
Lucio tells Blanca about seeing Carmina blasting out of Rosendo’s office in a fury. They must have been discussing something very serious. Gee, wouldn’t it be weird if she and Rosendo have a thing going? Blanca pooh poohs him, what would a cualquiera like Carmina see in a married man like Rosendo? Uh, how about Rosendo being a rich businessman and Carmina being an ambitious hussy, Lucio says.
Back to the Fur Elise (For Elise, get it?) music box, signifying we are in Estef’s room. She’s got Excedrin Headache #49 going strong. Elisa hits mom up for the money to pay for the bread. Dad joins them to find out why they’re not at the dinner table. Honestly, says mom, I’m not hungry and I, uh, miss my dad.
Rosendo is back at Hell House. Fina spies on him as he kisses young Damian goodnight. She douses herself with perfume and arranges herself seductively on the bed, but no joy. Rosendo approaches the door, then turns on his heel to sleep on the pull-out sofa. Fina promptly assassinates the perfume bottle, the scent of which causes her to convulse in coughing.
Next morning Elisa visits the church looking for Gael. She has a favor to ask, will he go to take the money and basket to Ramona? He wonders why she didn’t ask Damian? Because it’s very early and his mom’s always mad about something, she astutely observes.
Speaking of witch (not a typo), she’s cheering herself up by abusing the staff. (Reminds me of another Fina I used to know.) She sees Damian trying to sneak out, wonders why he’s leaving so early, but lets him off easy because she’s still sucking up to him and hoping he’ll side with her instead of dad. Maid Antonia cheerfully tells Fina that mister Rosendo left very early this morning and was in a big hurry.
Rosendo gallops over to the love shack having been summoned by Carmina. She’s in a dither and says they need to step up their escape plans. Sis discovered they are lovers and is ready to tell the world! Augusto could find out at any minute! Ros momentarily wonders why that matters. He says he’s been thinking, maybe it would be better if they acted like adults and were up front. He would just tell Fina and Carmina could tell Estef how things really are. “Are you crazy?” shrieks Car, “This is a telenovela and we have to run away and endanger the lives of everyone we know!” (OK, I made up that last part.) She whines about small-town scandal, yada yada, crocodile tears, I want my way.
Damian comes to Padre looking for Gael. Padre Lupe says he left very early with Elisa. Damian tells Padre about the amulets he bought and why, so sad.
Over at the yerberia Gael shows up with the money and basket. Paloma excitedly discovers a doll in the basket and Gael asks about the birdies. Uh oh, Abuela says tell your little friend they’ll come back when they’re all grown up. Ramona gives Gael the stinkeye and wonders if he’s the kid that threw mud on Paloma the other day. Paloma, now friends with Gael, denies it but I don’t think Gran believes her.
Estefania, making yet another plain dress look impossibly beautiful, asks Lolita about Elisa. Lolita says she left very early, just like every other person in town. Estef goes to look for Carmina and finds her own perfume in Car’s room. Que? Augusto discovers her there and wonders what’s up, why is she acting so nervous? Estef admits that she’s worried about her sis, it's that Carmina, well the truth is Carmina...Ack!! Carmina just popped into the room and scared the heck out of me! Anyway, Car tells Estef to shut it but Estef says she doesn’t like to keep secrets from her husband. Carmina pipes up that the truth is, she is leaving the pueblo forever.
Over at the pepper plant Gabino’s back in his work duds. (Why does he wear Deliverance to work but a decent long-sleeved shirt to the cantina?) Rosendo orders him to go to Merida and purchase two plane tickets for New York. Gabino assured Ros that he will demonstrate the utmost discretion. Ever notice how the only people who say that are blackmailing snakes?
Car tells Augusto that she feels like a load always mooching off of them. Nonsense, he replies, she’s a part of the family and is entitled. Where does she plan on going? Oh, maybe France to look for her papa’s family. Augusto asks the obvious question, why so much mystery surrounding such a stupid and inconsequential decision? Meanwhile Estef looks on in disgust. After Augusto leaves Car says she thinks it would be best to put some distance between Rosendo and herself.
Damian and Gael are fighting about Gael going to the curandera’s without him. Gael says he couldn’t go to Damian’s because his bruja of a mother doesn’t like him. They push each other a bit and argue who is Elisa’s best friend. Elisa thinks they are stupid boys so she runs off. They make up and Damian tells Gael about his father trusting him. They confirm they are best friends and do their BFF handshake.
Ack! There SHE is again, popping up and scaring me! Carmina surprises Rosendo at his stable, “Hola mi amor,” scream-whispers the succubus. He nervously assures her he is moving forward with their escape plans except for one minor detail. He’s owes it to Alfonsina to tell her he’s leaving, but he won’t mention Carmina’s name. Car keeps sliming him with kisses, getting off on the danger of discovery. Suddenly they hear Fina and Carmina scuttles off, leaving the thick aura of betrayal behind. Fina tells Rosendo they need to talk, but then she smells The Perfume of His Lover. It’s on his shirt! It’s in the air! “She’s around, isn’t she??” demands Fina, “That damn woman is around here, hiding somewhere!"
Avances: Elisa overhears Carmina telling Augusto she loves him. The town gossips claim Estefania is Rosendo’s lover.
Dicho of the day:
Antes de que te cases, mira lo que haces: Before you marry, better be wary. (or maybe Look before you leap)

La Que No Podía Amar #56 Wednesday 3/14/12
Lo Refrito
(without benefit of OPENING credits. There is a reason we don't call them "in the middle of the episode credits grumble grumble)
David reminds Rohell that he is no black-clad saint. The wheeled one had his fair share in the Miguel funny business. He said some other stuff too, but being the dumb asp that I am I rarely understand a word that comes out of Jorge Aravena's mouth (and it doesn't help that my comprehension skills get steadily worse the later it gets.)
Lo Nuevo
(which really isn't so nuevo. It's still more of the same underhanded, lying, dirty-dealing, out-for-myself kind of crap that has been going on for way too long)
Hacienda Happenings
Dany visits Miguel in the workshop. She asks how he's doing. He says he doing fine...hasn't had a drink. Dany thinks that's dandy and if he feels like taking a drink he needs to remember what he promised Ana Paula, 'cause you know, getting over alcoholism is as simple as keeping promises. They blah blah about what went wrong with them. He rejected her. He hurt her. He went out with Maripaz. So yeah. All his fault. He asks if she can forgive him. She blahbitty blahs and says maybe, if he works his but off to make himself worthy of it.
David gets cocky with Rohell and asks how things are going with the little wife. Rohell wonders if David is threatening him and David says he doesn't threaten...he DOES! Rohell doesn't want David to do anything stupid. David says Rohell wasn't a very good friend when he didn't support him in the role of Cinthia's boyfriend. Rohell is all "Dude! She dumped you." David thinks Rohell should have pushed more for the relationship. Rohell says it's Cinthia's choice. Funny, he doesn't act like it really is her choice. Must be "her choice" when it is convenient for him. Jackass. David leaves. Rohell instructs Hugo to follow the bastard and make sure he doesn't talk to Cupcake.
As David leaves, he sees Miguel and comments on his freedom. Miguel reminds David that, no, he did not steal that truck. David gives him a veiled "we'll see" threat. Dany asks what that was all about and Miguel says he doesn't know (wha? Wow. He is about as smart as a box o' blocks.) Dany says that all that matters is what Miguel does from now on. Her Suzy Sunshine bit makes me want to puke.
Tuxtla
Marcaria et all walk arm in arm and run into Effer. They are all going to hang out together. FF>>
Hacienda
Hugo reports that David left, Miguel is working on posts and Cupcake is in her room. Maria bursts in and reports the police are there.
Bruno is telling Ana they have to find a way to get her out of that contract. Cupcake asks Bruno if it's possible which sends Tia into a fit. Cupcake asks Tia to support her because Rohell says that Tia is capable of selling her out. Tia sputters. Whatever, you TACKY b*tch. Connie runs in (and tack b*tch of an aunt fusses at her for not knocking.) She tells Cupcake about the arrival of the police and that they want Miguel. Ana Pau asks Bruno "wasn't he out on bail?" Bruno says yeah, he'll try and figure out what's going on. Don't say anything in front of the police. Connie says it has something to do with a truck where he used to work. Bruno surmises David must have filed a complaint and Cupcake figures out that yes, Miguel can still end up in jail. Skeletor has weird eyes.
Rohell deals with the police. The police rehash.
The Tuxtla Triad of Terror
Vainy and Cin eagerly await news from David. They are dying to know how Rohell reacted to the land being sold. They would love to see the look on his face. David calls and happy happy joy Rohell was furious. He will wait a bit to drop the "we're business partners" bomb. Oh, and the police are on their way to arrest Miguel. David will make sure the guy rots in jail. Vainy will meet up with in San Gabriel. I hate these people.
Hacienda
Rohell tells the police about his argument with his wife and her departure. He explains that Miguel left around that time as well...on his on. Cupcake come in and is about to meter la pata, but Rohell grabs her hand and as politely as possible shuts her up. She is one hot-headed Cupcake...hmmm, like one Rohell Montero. Bruno acts like a lawyer and Rohell explains the cops are just doing their job. Cupcake starts defending her brother and again Rohell gently shuts her up and says he's already explained that Miguel left. Tia throws in a line, too. Meanwhile Hugo gets Miguel and takes him to an undisclosed hidey hole on the hacienda. Rohell stalls a little bit more with refreshments. Bruno acts like a SMARMY lawyer.The cops go to search the hacienda. Ana Pau doesn't understand why there was all the theatrics about not knowing where Miguel is if the police are just going to find him and take him. Rohell says "you still don't trust me?"
Dany runs into Connie in the hall and gets filled in. Everyone is supposed to say Miguel has been gone about a month.
Undisclosed Hidey Hole
Miguel wants a drink. Hugo hands him a bottled water.
Tuxtla Tarts
Vainy is headed for San Gabriel to mess with Rohell. Cin wants to go, but Vainy tells her to stay in Tuxtla. She runs the risk of Rohell locking her up. It's better for Cin to stay in Tuxtla and deliver blueprints and hard-drives to Gustavo. Oh, and watch mama Elsa. She's nervous.
Ernesto and Maricela. She's having trouble at school. She hates Mersnotty. She's wants to live with the grandparents. FF>>
Hacienda
The police did not find Miguel. Rohell hopes they find him since his wife is so worried about him. The fuzz (ha! One of them is bald) leaves their card. Rohell will of course will offer any help he can. They leave and Cupcake is relieved. She thanks Rohell and apologizes for doubting him. Bruno fusses at Rohell and informs Ana that Rohell could go to jail if the police find out what he did.
On his way to Marcaria's restaurant David finds out from his lawyer that the police went to the hacienda, but no Miguel was to be found. David insists the dude was there. David waits for Bruno and is informed that the Skeletal Slimeball will be late.
Ana is upset that Rohell may go to jail. Rohell gives some orders and is about to leave. Ana offers to take him, but Rohell tells her to stay with her aunt...who is surely just as worried about Miguel as she could be. You can tell the Cupcake might be softening up a bit.
In Tuxtla, Gustavo has come to pick up the stuff. Apparently the project is not in Tuxtla. While he's there the maid informs Cin that Elsa will be eating lunch out. Rather than have Cin eat alone, Gus invites her to eat with him. She accepts.
At the hacienda, Rohell conjectures that it was David who sent the police. It's just too much of a coincidence that it happened the same day he came to see Rohell. Bruno says he also suspects David. Riiight, Skeletor. Keep talking. You'll get yours, you tie-dyed bastard. Rohell admits he did ask David to press charges, but later asked him not to. Rohell says they have to be careful with David. Yo, Rohell! See that bastard sitting in front of you? Watch his little beady-eyed a$$, too. Crazy-haired little focker. After said focker makes his exit, Rohell says to himself that he is just as much to blame as David.
Commerical break and QTH middle credits (grumble grumble)
Mersnotty and Ernesto. Marcela blah blah break up FF>> Sorry, I refuse to detail recap boring stuff after 11 PM CST.
Hacienda
Tia thinks Rohell must really love Ana to keep Miguel out of jail like that. Ana thinks it's just one more way for her to "owe him." Bruno brings Miguel back and Cupcake slathers him with sweet frosting hugs. Bruno, being the cunning bastard that he is turns the situation into a way to make Rohell look bad. "Oh how easily he conned the police. What a two-faced guy. He's so deceptive. Now you are just more committed to him (comprometer)."
Mersnotty and Ernesto continue to break up. See note above FF>>
Tia wants Miguel to thank Rohell. The whole family is just so grateful to the guy. She nags Miguel. He says he's not a kid. She says he's acting like it. He says "look who's talking." Bruno keeps working on the Cupcake. "See how he operates? He acts like he's helping, but really he's just doing what is convenient for him." Cupcake thinks maybe this time he was really sincere. Bruno continues to mess with her head.
Tia and Miguel go to thank Rohell. Rohell wants to talk to Miguel in private. Miguel thanks him. He wantd to pay Rohell back. Rohell tells him to stop drinking and says he'll support him. Stop worrying his sister. They have to be proactive. This latest threat came from David and he will want to make sure Miguel goes to jail.
Bruno tells Ana not to worry. He'll see if he can't work on David and get Miguel out of this mess. He'll work on his own independent of what Rohell wants to do. Ana says she'll just end up owning Rohell more. Bruno encourages her to try to get along with Rohell. Maybe the dude will let up some.
Bruno meets David in San Gabriel. David lets Bruno in on the "it was me who warned Ana in Boring del Cielo" secret. Bruno sees that David et al are hell-bent to screw Rohell over. He lets David know he is hell-bent to get his lands back. Now, let the intrigues begin. Apparently there is this ranch adjacent to the hacienda: La Negra. There is water on said ranch. Water that is needed at Hell Fuerte. Now if David were to own that little bit of land....no water, no cattle (btw: water dispute needs to be added to the bingo cards if it hasn't already. I've seen this plot device in STuD and LFDD.)
Maria wants to know why Rohell won't eat with the others. He's too ashamed to. She reminds him of all the good things he's done for Miguel: got him to stop drinking...sort of. Got him working...when he wasn't slashing his wrists. Rohell even risked going to jail. Rohell comes clean about his part in the whole Miguel business. Maria is disappointed.
Miguel rehashes the accident with Connie. You can sort of understand why the dude drinks. They talk a bit about Maripaz and Dany. Miguel won't be able to deal right with folks until he gets right with himself.
Maria fusses at Rohell about his part in the Miguel business. Rohell just so wanted Ana with him that he was a dumbass (loose translation. ) Maria says he needs to tell truth to Ana. He doesn't want to because if he does she'll never love him. Maria insists the truth is the way to win her. I sort of see her logic, but I kind of don't. Hey! Ana Pau, I'm the reason your brother was sent to jail, got the crap beat out of him in jail and continues to live under the threat of jail *puppydogeyesbutiloveyou!* Uh. No. He says he needs to win her love before he can tell the truth. Maria says surely she will realize all the good he is doing for her family. He wants Cupcake to talk about him the way she talks about the Guscake.
Tuxtla Heifers
Elsa explains to Vainy how years before she paid Tia a fortune to break up her sister and Fed. How did that work out Vaca and where's the money now? hmmmm?
At the hacienda Maria is STILL talking to Rohell. He is pretty pissed about the David thing and plans to go to Tuxtla right now to 1. Put David in his place and 2. Take care of wayward Cinthia. They blah blah about Cinthia. Same conversation as always. He doesn't want her to be a rogona (we've had this before, a woman who aks favors of men. Ana Pau used it many episodes ago while her aunt was trying to convice her to take Rohell's deal.) Rohell is worried Vainy is putting all kinds of ideas in Cin's head.
Ana talks to Gus' voter ID card. She cries. She needs him. I cry. I need her to shut up.
Maria wants to go get Cin. She might not listen to Maria, but at least there won't be yelling. Besides, Vainy probably wouldn't let Rohell past the front door. Ana enters and tells him to treat his sister like the grown woman she is. Rohell explains that Cin went running after some guy while Ana Pau was away.
Effer stares at Marcaria's boobs while she yammers. FF>>
Rohell is sure Cin has seen the guy while she is "supporting" Vainy. Cupcake wonders if the guy is so bad. Rohell doesn't have so much of a problem with the guy. He just hates that Cin is disobeying him. Ana Pau aruges that Rohell should not control Cin and every woman should be allowed to make her own decisions. I think Cin is an idiot NOT to be on Ana's side. She could have gotten her way about 15 episodes ago and saved us all a lot of trouble.
Mersnotty and Guscake. She still feels like crap because of the Ernesto garbage. FF>>
Ana Pau thinks if Rohell keeps controlling Cin, the girl will never learn to live on her own. Rohell argues that he needs to make sure the guy she dates is "good enough." They blah blah. He "tús"and "tes" and she "usteds" and "le-s". He gets mad about it. She starts using "tú" again.
Tuxtla Twits
Guscake picks Cin up for dinner. She looks great. She gets flowers, but they aren't from Gus. It's a seriously hideous arrangement.
Hacienda Jailhouse
M-grito wants Ana to ask Rohell to get rid of the bars. Ana says no and they will see each other and read tomorrow. While M-grito is saying good-bye, Rohell comes in. He tells M-grito to come through the front door or kitchen if he wants to see Ana and to stop climbing the balcony. He really isn't being mean to the kid. He remarks that it's late in a tone of "a kid needs his rest". It's kind of cute and M-grito is smiling the whole time. Rohell has come to tell Ana that he doesn't want her to think of him as prideful and as part of his campaign to be a better, gentler man, he's going to be supportive of Cinthia's dating GUSTAVO. Cupcake is muss my frosting impactada with the news of novio's nombre.
(without benefit of OPENING credits. There is a reason we don't call them "in the middle of the episode credits grumble grumble)
David reminds Rohell that he is no black-clad saint. The wheeled one had his fair share in the Miguel funny business.

Cupcake come in and is about to meter la pata, but Rohell grabs her hand and as politely as possible shuts her up. She is one hot-headed Cupcake...hmmm, like one Rohell Montero. Bruno acts like a lawyer and Rohell explains the cops are just doing their job. Cupcake starts defending her brother and again Rohell gently shuts her up and says he's already explained that Miguel left. Tia throws in a line, too. Meanwhile Hugo gets Miguel and takes him to an undisclosed hidey hole on the hacienda. Rohell stalls a little bit more with refreshments. Bruno acts like a SMARMY lawyer.The cops go to search the hacienda. Ana Pau doesn't understand why there was all the theatrics about not knowing where Miguel is if the police are just going to find him and take him. Rohell says "you still don't trust me?"
Dany runs into Connie in the hall and gets filled in. Everyone is supposed to say Miguel has been gone about a month.
Undisclosed Hidey Hole
Miguel wants a drink. Hugo hands him a bottled water.
Tuxtla Tarts
Vainy is headed for San Gabriel to mess with Rohell. Cin wants to go, but Vainy tells her to stay in Tuxtla. She runs the risk of Rohell locking her up. It's better for Cin to stay in Tuxtla and deliver blueprints and hard-drives to Gustavo. Oh, and watch mama Elsa. She's nervous.
Ernesto and Maricela. She's having trouble at school. She hates Mersnotty. She's wants to live with the grandparents. FF>>
Hacienda
The police did not find Miguel. Rohell hopes they find him since his wife is so worried about him. The fuzz (ha! One of them is bald) leaves their card. Rohell will of course will offer any help he can. They leave and Cupcake is relieved. She thanks Rohell and apologizes for doubting him. Bruno fusses at Rohell and informs Ana that Rohell could go to jail if the police find out what he did.
On his way to Marcaria's restaurant David finds out from his lawyer that the police went to the hacienda, but no Miguel was to be found. David insists the dude was there. David waits for Bruno and is informed that the Skeletal Slimeball will be late.
Ana is upset that Rohell may go to jail. Rohell gives some orders and is about to leave. Ana offers to take him, but Rohell tells her to stay with her aunt...who is surely just as worried about Miguel as she could be. You can tell the Cupcake might be softening up a bit.
In Tuxtla, Gustavo has come to pick up the stuff. Apparently the project is not in Tuxtla. While he's there the maid informs Cin that Elsa will be eating lunch out. Rather than have Cin eat alone, Gus invites her to eat with him. She accepts.
At the hacienda, Rohell conjectures that it was David who sent the police. It's just too much of a coincidence that it happened the same day he came to see Rohell. Bruno says he also suspects David. Riiight, Skeletor. Keep talking. You'll get yours, you tie-dyed bastard. Rohell admits he did ask David to press charges, but later asked him not to. Rohell says they have to be careful with David. Yo, Rohell! See that bastard sitting in front of you? Watch his little beady-eyed a$$, too. Crazy-haired little focker. After said focker makes his exit, Rohell says to himself that he is just as much to blame as David.
Commerical break and QTH middle credits (grumble grumble)
Mersnotty and Ernesto. Marcela blah blah break up FF>> Sorry, I refuse to detail recap boring stuff after 11 PM CST.
Hacienda
Tia thinks Rohell must really love Ana to keep Miguel out of jail like that. Ana thinks it's just one more way for her to "owe him." Bruno brings Miguel back and Cupcake slathers him with sweet frosting hugs. Bruno, being the cunning bastard that he is turns the situation into a way to make Rohell look bad. "Oh how easily he conned the police. What a two-faced guy. He's so deceptive. Now you are just more committed to him (comprometer)."
Mersnotty and Ernesto continue to break up. See note above FF>>
Tia wants Miguel to thank Rohell. The whole family is just so grateful to the guy. She nags Miguel. He says he's not a kid. She says he's acting like it. He says "look who's talking." Bruno keeps working on the Cupcake. "See how he operates? He acts like he's helping, but really he's just doing what is convenient for him." Cupcake thinks maybe this time he was really sincere. Bruno continues to mess with her head.
Tia and Miguel go to thank Rohell. Rohell wants to talk to Miguel in private. Miguel thanks him. He wantd to pay Rohell back. Rohell tells him to stop drinking and says he'll support him. Stop worrying his sister. They have to be proactive. This latest threat came from David and he will want to make sure Miguel goes to jail.
Bruno tells Ana not to worry. He'll see if he can't work on David and get Miguel out of this mess. He'll work on his own independent of what Rohell wants to do. Ana says she'll just end up owning Rohell more. Bruno encourages her to try to get along with Rohell. Maybe the dude will let up some.
Bruno meets David in San Gabriel. David lets Bruno in on the "it was me who warned Ana in Boring del Cielo" secret. Bruno sees that David et al are hell-bent to screw Rohell over. He lets David know he is hell-bent to get his lands back. Now, let the intrigues begin. Apparently there is this ranch adjacent to the hacienda: La Negra. There is water on said ranch. Water that is needed at Hell Fuerte. Now if David were to own that little bit of land....no water, no cattle (btw: water dispute needs to be added to the bingo cards if it hasn't already. I've seen this plot device in STuD and LFDD.)
Maria wants to know why Rohell won't eat with the others. He's too ashamed to. She reminds him of all the good things he's done for Miguel: got him to stop drinking...sort of. Got him working...when he wasn't slashing his wrists. Rohell even risked going to jail. Rohell comes clean about his part in the whole Miguel business. Maria is disappointed.
Miguel rehashes the accident with Connie. You can sort of understand why the dude drinks. They talk a bit about Maripaz and Dany. Miguel won't be able to deal right with folks until he gets right with himself.
Maria fusses at Rohell about his part in the Miguel business. Rohell just so wanted Ana with him that he was a dumbass (loose translation. ) Maria says he needs to tell truth to Ana. He doesn't want to because if he does she'll never love him. Maria insists the truth is the way to win her. I sort of see her logic, but I kind of don't. Hey! Ana Pau, I'm the reason your brother was sent to jail, got the crap beat out of him in jail and continues to live under the threat of jail *puppydogeyesbutiloveyou!* Uh. No. He says he needs to win her love before he can tell the truth. Maria says surely she will realize all the good he is doing for her family. He wants Cupcake to talk about him the way she talks about the Guscake.
Tuxtla Heifers
Elsa explains to Vainy how years before she paid Tia a fortune to break up her sister and Fed. How did that work out Vaca and where's the money now? hmmmm?
At the hacienda Maria is STILL talking to Rohell. He is pretty pissed about the David thing and plans to go to Tuxtla right now to 1. Put David in his place and 2. Take care of wayward Cinthia. They blah blah about Cinthia. Same conversation as always. He doesn't want her to be a rogona (we've had this before, a woman who aks favors of men. Ana Pau used it many episodes ago while her aunt was trying to convice her to take Rohell's deal.) Rohell is worried Vainy is putting all kinds of ideas in Cin's head.
Ana talks to Gus' voter ID card. She cries. She needs him. I cry. I need her to shut up.
Maria wants to go get Cin. She might not listen to Maria, but at least there won't be yelling. Besides, Vainy probably wouldn't let Rohell past the front door. Ana enters and tells him to treat his sister like the grown woman she is. Rohell explains that Cin went running after some guy while Ana Pau was away.
Effer stares at Marcaria's boobs while she yammers. FF>>
Rohell is sure Cin has seen the guy while she is "supporting" Vainy. Cupcake wonders if the guy is so bad. Rohell doesn't have so much of a problem with the guy. He just hates that Cin is disobeying him. Ana Pau aruges that Rohell should not control Cin and every woman should be allowed to make her own decisions. I think Cin is an idiot NOT to be on Ana's side. She could have gotten her way about 15 episodes ago and saved us all a lot of trouble.
Mersnotty and Guscake. She still feels like crap because of the Ernesto garbage. FF>>
Ana Pau thinks if Rohell keeps controlling Cin, the girl will never learn to live on her own. Rohell argues that he needs to make sure the guy she dates is "good enough." They blah blah. He "tús"and "tes" and she "usteds" and "le-s". He gets mad about it. She starts using "tú" again.
Tuxtla Twits
Guscake picks Cin up for dinner. She looks great. She gets flowers, but they aren't from Gus. It's a seriously hideous arrangement.
Hacienda Jailhouse
M-grito wants Ana to ask Rohell to get rid of the bars. Ana says no and they will see each other and read tomorrow. While M-grito is saying good-bye, Rohell comes in. He tells M-grito to come through the front door or kitchen if he wants to see Ana and to stop climbing the balcony. He really isn't being mean to the kid. He remarks that it's late in a tone of "a kid needs his rest". It's kind of cute and M-grito is smiling the whole time. Rohell has come to tell Ana that he doesn't want her to think of him as prideful and as part of his campaign to be a better, gentler man, he's going to be supportive of Cinthia's dating GUSTAVO. Cupcake is muss my frosting impactada with the news of novio's nombre.

Abismo de pasión #3 3/14/12: Secrets Revealed-Sorry but Cruelty towards children should be a crime... punishable by permanent humiliation
Recap by Super Marta
In Rosendo’s office, Padre gets dropped into a surprise ‘guess who’ game of mitaken identity… Carmina runs away… Rosendo comes in, Padre lupe has to remind him of the monthly help for Gael’s education… Rosendo asks him to continue keeping the secret… he does not want his wife Fina about his supporting Gael., she can’t stand Gael. Rosendo says have enough problems already to add on to the arguments with her. Padre mentions he has noticed their relationship is worsening… Fina swears he is involved with another woman… Rosendo denies. Padre says I was ignoring it until a moment ago… a woman came in here while I was waiting for you in the dark.. she thougth I was you… Rosendo denies denies… Padre won’t tell him who he thinks the woman was… Rosendo keeps trying to brush it off as a confusion. Padre says can’t force you to confess… but my duty as priest and your brother in law and friend is to warn you not to jeopardize your relationship with your family, especially with your son… he is not to blame for your problems with Fina. I know my sister has not been the ideal wife, but she might deserve another chance… In Gael’s name, that boy who has not been blessed with a family like yours, thank you for the check… and thank you from me too.
Don Lucio and Dona Blanca at home … he is tired… she suggests he retires… he says he would die if he did nothing… he is still strong… she suggest they could start a business, a fashion house (she can make dresses for the women…).. he can’t see himself in the middle of a ‘casita de modas’.. he is used to dealin with workers, not with women spending their husbands money… she says different would be story if we had kids… we would not be lonely and bored… Lucio argues that Elisa our goddaughter is like our granddaughter… Blanca agrees that Elisa is adorable, like her mom. Julio says can’t say the same for Carmina… Blanca says Carmina is not that bad, but you have never wanted to see her virtues.. Lucio says they must be deep in the bottom of the barrell… Blanca tells him Elisa and Este came by… they were sad, seems Augusto gave her a jealousy rage scene and the little girl noticed… Lucio says Augusto should control himself because if not, one of these days Este will tire of him… Blanca assures him Augusto is Este’s great love…
In bed at their house, Este is giving Augusto the silent, talk to my back treatment… she is hurt by what happened, how he accused her.. He tries to appologize… she says he always swears the same… he admits he is full of defects, but she can’t deny his love. If he lost her he would go crazy… he sometimes feels that he does not deserve her… she says she too has defects… no… he fell in love from the moment he first saw her… same here… (Carmina is eavesdropping at door, gets jealous/envious at the scene/dialogue she just heard so she knocks hard (obviously she might want Rosendo’s money but she hates Este too, maybe wants Augie for herself)… Este goes to door… Carmina plays dumb, says have a headache… cannot find the meds… gets Este to leave room, in walks Carmina .. asks Augie if he is still mad at her… He brushes it off… she kisses his cheek (yup, this woman drools for her brother in law)… and says good nite..
Rosendo gets home.. Antonia (Alfo’s loyal maid) tells him Damian waited for him all afternoon to ride together … Rosendo runs to stables to find Damian… tries to appoligize and Damian forgives him… Rosendo will go riding with him early tomorrow before going to work… Damian gives him the other amulet that he got from Ramona. Rosendo puts it on right away… laughs when Damian asks him for the 100 pesos… remind me tomorrow… Damian asks him if he was at the blue house by the celote… Rosendo again denies denies denies…
Este finds Lolita in kitchen, she just walked in but seems she was stood up by Braulio.. her boyfriend (oopsie, she has no clue Braulio had the accident)… Estefania is very comprehensive with her… we all have out faults.. when we love a man we forgive much. Lolita refuses… Este says consult it with the pillow.. lol… When Este leaves, Lolita rages a bit more …
Rosendo gets home… Fina does not wait to bring up the ‘someone saw you at the house by the cenote’… when he says he already told Damian he was not the man he saw, Fina begins trying to seduce him.. says I want to change… really I want to change.. I want us to get back to the way we were when we got married and were expecting Damian…
At the Castano home, the ambience is very different, seems Augie and Este reconciled.
Once Augie leaves, Elisa asks Este if Carmina will stay with them forever. Este expects Carmina to leave when she gets married, don’t you like her staying with us? No, she always tells me ugly things, that I don’t behave, that I will go to hell… Este asks when she said that, Elisa says yesterday when I found her in your room putting your perfume on… she is seeing someone… Este says she has not told me anything about a boyfriend.. but last night she got home late… Elisa goes ‘see?’
At Arango hacienda, Gael is looking for Damian… he wants to warn Damian that they might get ‘mal de ojo’ (curses) because the witche’s daughter already tattle-told about them! .. Fina comes out and immediately gets accusative with Gael. She won’t listen to reason, she does not want Gael to come to the hacienda or looking for Damian.
Damian rides with Rosendo in the chile fields tells his dad that Fina says Gael is ‘less’ than them… Rosendo says that’s silly, tries to explain that Fina does not know Gael that well. Damian says but my uncle Lupe lets him stay in his house. Rosendo explains Lupe has taken care of Gael since he was very little. Damian asks why. Where are his parents? Rosendo avoids the answer saying they could have died, noone knows… Damian says ‘and that is why my mom can’t stand him? It is not his fault.’ Rosendo agrees. And I give you permission to be his friend. I think he is a very good kid. Rosendo tells Damian have to go to work. Damian thought they were going to the cenote, Rosendo says no, even left someone waiting to come riding with you.. have to go. (of course we see Carmina getting impatient at the blue house waiting for Rosendo).
At Ramona’s shack… Ramona is feeding the birds with a dropper… Paloma is putting the bread in the basket… Ramona won’t tell her who brought the birds, and gets a bit irritated when Paloma says she will have to return the money if the birds die… but nags at Paloma for not being able to sell all the bread yesterday. Paloma wants to go sell the bread at the procesadora… Ramona won’t let her go anywhere near that procesadora… does not want anyone to treat her bad or say things about her. Paloma says people already say bad things about me for being your granddaughter because they say you are a witch. Ramona warns her that if she goes near the procesadora, she will BECOME the witch everyone says she is… I won’t let you go there, to maybe run into… who? … nobody!... (when Paloma leaves) God protect you my child. From that evil man who killed your mother (I don’t know you all, but my guess of fill in the blanks here is Gabino).
Carmina runs to Rosendo’s office to nag at him for having left her waiting… Rosendo says it was his son.. She says ‘now you are the father of the year?’ She tells him Damian saw them together at the house… Rosendo says Padre Lupe possibly recognized her at the office last night… she says priests don’t talk.. Rosendo says only when it is a confession secret… but Lupe is also my brother in law… She brushes it off… Rosendo is really scared that everything will be discovered… she tells him ok then lets call this quits… Rosendo gets anxious, can’t live without you… She is not willing to be his lover forever… he is not sure how to handle his son and this… she suggests they flee, they can be free and happy elsewhere… would you be capable of abandoning your family for me? … he stays quiet… didn’t you say you can’t live without me? … he is reluctant to leave his family just like that… Carmina says Fina will raise a scandal… Rosendo says this land and business has been in the family for many generations… it is his duty to care for them until his son can take over… he pleads with Carmina.. I adore you, I love you, I idolize you… but he is not prepared to do what she asks right this moment… she says fine, then I will go look for someone with the BALLS to give me what I deserve!!
She huffs out of there…
She walks out and right into Lucio, who greets her, but she just walks right by him…
Damian lost / dropped the money… Elisa and Gael get scared about the witch… Elisa will try to ask her mom for the money… She leaves Gael and Damian hugging at the town center gazebo… Damian has an idea…
At the house, Este confronts Carmina… why are you tormenting my daughter about going to hell and stuff like that? … Carmina calls Elisa a gossip… Este says once I thought of you as a 2nd mother to my daughter if I ever was not around.. but not anymore. Carmina says I have enough problems to take on your daughter… Este insists Carmina was using her perfume and came home late last night. What is going on? Nothing!! I am your sister, why don’t you tell me what is going on??
Lolita comes to get Este, … Sra Tovar is here and wants to see her.. Este leaves Carmina huffing about the ‘escuincla’ (Elisa)
Begoña (what a name!) came to appologize to Este… she won’t be able to invite her to the charity group… Fina banned her… she didn’t directly say why, but I think it is because what is being talked around town about you and Fina’s husband having a relationship… Bego denies Fina told her directly but ‘sort of implied it’
Elisa runs into Paloma…Paloma offers bread, but Elisa forgot her money at home… asks Paloma how are the birds… so it was you who brought them? .. well, me, Damian and Gael… are they ok? .. did they die?? No, not yet… my grandma says they miss their mom but they will be ok… want to come to my house? I can ask my mom money to buy your bread… and to pay your grandma what my friends and I owe her…
Augusto visits Rosendo at office… brings the new contract with ‘errors and ommissions’ as excuse to talk to him… Augie is rather abbrassive so Rosendo asks what’s the problem? ..
Aug: the problem is you have to control your wife. She can’t go around raising false gossip about people.
Ros: so that was it… look, I heard what my wife said about Este and myself.. of course it is a lie.. you have no idea how embarrassed I am about it.
Aug: it is your fault, Rosendo. If Fina doubts you she must have a reason.. (Rosendo rolls his eyes) then it is true! You are messing with another woman!
Ros: I am hopelessly in love with another woman. Which is different.
Aug: That does not justify deceiving your wife.
Ros: you don’t know what it is like to live with a woman like Fina.
Aug: You should have thought about it earlier, before you formed a family and had a son with her! Who is that woman? Who has made you lose your mind?
Ros: it doesn’t matter anymore… it is over.
Elisa brings Paloma in her house… Lolita sees them… Elisa asks about her mother, she went out. Lolita is very friendly with Paloma… Paloma wants to leave but Elisa takes her to her bedroom…
Este is visiting Fina…
Es: I want you to explain to me what is it you are after telling everyone in town that I am with Rosendo?
Al: Who told you?
Es: Augusto.
Al: What happened that night is that I was not feeling well and…
Es: You have no forgiveness possible, Alfonsina. And if indeed Rosendo is unfaithful to you, you can be sure it is not with me. Because I have no need to go find lovers. Fortunately I am very happy with my husband.
Al: Este, don’t get like that. My intention was never..
Es: Your intention has always to harm my reputation. And not just recently. Its been like that all your life. And I have never understood why you can’t stand me… I only will tell you this… I don’t know how you will undo that gossip.. you know how ‘purist’ everyone in town is… and I am not worried about myself because I have nothing to hide. But I am worried about my daughter. And you should also worry about your son Damian. Sometimes children are the most affected by their parents mistakes… Excuse me.
At Fina’s bedroom.. Damian and Gael come in… Gael is scared of being there, but Damian convinces him to look for his mom’s purse… or do you want the witch to put a curse on you? (te del el mal de ojo)? Just when Gael has Fina’s purse in his hand, Fina walks in.. goes beserk. Yells for Antonia to go fetch Lupe to come get this ‘burglar’ out of her house..
At kitchen in ElTal, Braulio with bandaged head and arm comes to see Lolita. At first she doesn’t believe him, even threatens him with smacking him with a pan… he tells her about the accident… she finally believes him after he says go ask Lucio if you want!... she gets really TLC with him, offers to fix him a chicken soup… will you forgive me?
When Padre Lupe comes in, Fina has let Damian go away, but is arguing with Lupe accusing Gael of planning it and convincing Damian… Lupe is not so convinced the only one to blame is Gael.. in any case they both are to blame, she surprised them BOTH in her bedroom. She won’t call Damian because he would take the blame for Gael..
Lup: how convenient, right? … Look, Fina! I don’t justify that Gael and Damian wanted to take money from your purse! But they are just kids! You can’t judge them so severely! And that goes for Damian and Gael alike!
Al: No, no, don’t compare them! They are not the same! I don’t understand your obsession to defend that ‘mocoso’!! (all this right in Gael’s face, which is full of tears)
Lup: Fina, better not force me to speak…
Al: No wonder his mother abandoned him at the church.. what mother would want to care for that boy? (OUCH!! Can’t wait to see how Mark T portrays a man carrying such a burden of complexes, insecurities and painful growing up.. despite Padre Lupe;s love… )
Lup: Alfonsina…
Damian wants to go see Lupe to explain what happened, that Gael did not steal anything… Antonia won’t let him go.. if he goes, the one that will be ‘fired as in a fair’ Is her!)
Lupe: Stop crying, Gael.. go ahead to the church… (once Gael leaves) Listen, Fina.. if you don’t want me to forget that I am a priest and that you are my sister, don’t you ever hummilliate Gael that way! For God’s sake, sister! What type of catholic woman are you??
Al: No, forgive me… My religious beliefs have nothing to do with my feelings toward that ‘escuincle’. I am certain he is a bad influence for my son, and I don’t want him near him.
Lup: God forgive you, Fina. I see it is no use to keep talking to you. And don’t worry, you won’t see Gael again at your hacienda. But regarding his friendship with Damian, I am afraid you won’t be able to do anything about that to avoid it. In the name of God, sister.
Lolita runs into a Estefania coming home… Lolita is happy telling her she reconciled with Braulio and about his accident. Este is tired/concerned… Este asks about Elisa, Lolita says she is in her bedroom with a friend. In Elisa’s room Paloma is admiring all her dolls and her room… When Este enters the bedroom, Paloma gets really scared and runs away… Elisa says ‘ay mama, you spooked her!’ LOL
At church,
Gael: You do believe me, right?
Lu: I do believe you. But you and Damian did wrong. Should not have taken money without permission, that is like stealing, and that goes against the word of God… Fina was right to be angry. Of course nothing justifies what she told you.
Gael: Padre, do you think my mom abandoned me at church because she did not want to have a child like me?
Lup: No, don’t say that. I assure you that is not true. My sister has had many problems lately. Just don’t look for Damian in his house, meet him somewhere else. Agreed?
I better go to the church, there must be lots of people waiting for confession…
(what a great scene.. after the nasty one with Fina)
At confession booth… first in waiting for Padre Lupe is none other than Carmina… Padre begins ‘ave maria purisima’ twice with no response… until Carmina says she came to tell him she was the woman at Rosendo’s office.. not only that, Rosendo and I are lovers… / why do you come to tell me that? / because I had to get release… you have to keep the secret. / but what is it you expect of your relationship with Rosendo? He is a married man, What can he offer you? / LOTS! Like getting me out of this darn town! That is what a woman like me deserves!... / then your interest for him is not about feelings / ah no… since we are in the confessions line.. the man I love with all my soul is another.. someone you also know… it is Augusto Castañon, my brother in law.
(and we leave the ep with the bomb just dropped on Lupe’s lap)
Previews: the confession repeated…
VO: But on a night where jealousy releases forbidden passions…
We see Rosendo meeting Carmina outside the gate, swearing he will go with her…
VO: Falls the veil of lies… (seems Estefania sees Rosendo and Carmina kissing outside)

Una Familia Con Suerte #163-164 Wed 3/14/12 did you know grownups could gossip so much?
As usual my computer recorded only most of the two hours. I don't know which 25 minutes are missing, so fill me in...
Also - Let me complain that I came home from doing a St. Patrick's day gig at 9:15, exhausted, to find out that my dear son Ezra, after losing his glasses and going to work with one contact lens, on the way back into our hacienda left his car in "drive" when he got out to open the deer fence - so it (the car) ran through the deer fence, then the donkey fence, and finally ran over Ezra's own foot when he was trying to recapture it. Luckily, no bones broken. And now, to the show!
Pina can't imagine having the low-class Lopez-uns as in-laws. Freddy's first two children will be named Vince and Pina, obvi - but how much better for the bloodline not to be "contaminated," to have the blond Karin as the mother, with the classy name Limantours - and for the babies to have blue eyes. This aryan elitism, which makes me very uncomfortable, unites Vince and Pina, but in general Vince isn't listening because he's drooling over her!
Cute, how Pina has converted Freddy's nickname for Ana - "ojitos" (little eyes) - into "piojitos" (little fleas).
There's a meeting at Avon with Lidia representing Belle Face, I guess. I think the company shares are doing well. A familiar well-siliconed form enters; Pancho says, "good morning Rebe" before doing a predictable double take. She says "Fer did not accept my resignation."
Pancho throws Beto, Enzo, and Lidia out, Rebe insists they stay, he says no, so she leaves, he follows. Furious, she says she didn't go to Miami because she doesn't love Mike and doesn't want to run from her problems. She is not moved by his story of failing to find her at the airport. She reminds him how disappointed she is in him and that he can't really love her. "From now on, our relationship is purely professional."
Tomas's prison roommate el Tanque (what an interesting looking guy) has somehow disattached the Gargoyle (who beat up Tomas) from his henchmen. El Tanque is so grateful (Tomas has gotten him lawyer help), he holds the Gargoyle while Tomas lays down laws (e.g. "don't harm the defenseless") and punches him. The Gargoyle is crying! "Hah hah, what if all our fellow incarcerates saw you now? Law three: your reign of terror is over."
Midory (she who sexually harrassed Arnold hence causing him to turn faux-gay) meets Pancho and starts flirting. He things she looks familiar. She suggests they met in a past life. "What, you don't believe in reincarnation?" "No, I'm a Catholic."
Arnold gets a friendly welcome from Rebe who laughs and laughs at his Midory-Raymound predicament. His two pursuers catch up with him. He flees like the fox from the hounds and takes shelter with Vince and Enzo.
Chela, complaining to Candy in Napoleon's house, faints, which we know means she either has leukemia or is pregnant. This is a comedy, so I vote for #2. Napoleon offers to ship her off to a hospital in his private helicopter.
Pancho invites his daughters to lunch. He tells them Rebe's back. Ana nags him to help sell her cd. He gets all the kids (and Nenene) to stand in the street and shout and wave cds. It's lame but they have some success. This seems like some recursive product placement - because this is a real cd, right, and Univision reaps the profits if people buy it!?
Enzo tells Lidia he's thinking about Chela. Lidia claims she has no expectations, as long as he tells her the truth.
Fer is happy to hear Doc Oc arranged for a second DNA test. So happy, in fact, that she accepts his marriage proposal.
Pina gets a very complimentary card from Vince inviting her to dinner. He orders up a private room, two waiters and champagne.
Candy cries about Vince FF>
Napoleon, at the hospital, calls Pancho to say Chela's in the hospital. He tells Chela (why isn't the doctor the one to tell her?): "You're pregnant." He assumes Pancho is the father. He'd like to get Candy this pregnant.
Pancho and various kids come rushing into the hospital and get a look at Napoleon. They then rush into Chela's room, she tells them she's pregnant. All rejoice. "Napo" shows up with a gigantic stuffed bear. Temo becomes a big Napo fan when he's offered a helicopter ride. Moni asks Chela: "This is going to be my little brother, right?" Chela admits Enzo's the dad.
Ana goes to see Rebe, Rebe rehashes her anti-Pancho ire. Ana, a little embarrassed that she's been part of the problem, says "Temo and I were like dogs with a slipper." She said she didn't come exactly to convince Rebe to go back with her dad, but because "you have earned our affection." Both cry. Lidia comes in at the end of their love fest.
Pancho and Napo talk in the hospital hall. Pancho says "the concept of forcing Candy to marry is a bad concept. She loves the demon himself, Vince." Napo tells him Vince is going to reconcile with Pina.
Elsewhere, this very same info makes Arnold jealous. Then Midory shows up and begs for a few Arnold minutes. She grabs him and tries to take a few bites. "Stop menacing me!" he squeals as he runs away.
Enzo tells Ana he can't compete with Pancho for Graciela's affections.
Rebe tells Lidia she will NEVER reconcile with Pancho.
Napo goes out (for a night of dastardly deeds perhaps) and leaves Candy a cellphone "because I trust you." Candy immediately calls Vince. In the VERY VERY FANCY RESTAURANT, Vince has gone to pee, so Pina answers. Candy: "Why are you answering Vince's phone?" Pina: "Because he's in the bathroom. We are at a VERY VERY FANCY RESTAURANT. Vince is STILL MY HUSBAND..."
and... my recording ends.
Also - Let me complain that I came home from doing a St. Patrick's day gig at 9:15, exhausted, to find out that my dear son Ezra, after losing his glasses and going to work with one contact lens, on the way back into our hacienda left his car in "drive" when he got out to open the deer fence - so it (the car) ran through the deer fence, then the donkey fence, and finally ran over Ezra's own foot when he was trying to recapture it. Luckily, no bones broken. And now, to the show!
Pina can't imagine having the low-class Lopez-uns as in-laws. Freddy's first two children will be named Vince and Pina, obvi - but how much better for the bloodline not to be "contaminated," to have the blond Karin as the mother, with the classy name Limantours - and for the babies to have blue eyes. This aryan elitism, which makes me very uncomfortable, unites Vince and Pina, but in general Vince isn't listening because he's drooling over her!
Cute, how Pina has converted Freddy's nickname for Ana - "ojitos" (little eyes) - into "piojitos" (little fleas).
There's a meeting at Avon with Lidia representing Belle Face, I guess. I think the company shares are doing well. A familiar well-siliconed form enters; Pancho says, "good morning Rebe" before doing a predictable double take. She says "Fer did not accept my resignation."
Pancho throws Beto, Enzo, and Lidia out, Rebe insists they stay, he says no, so she leaves, he follows. Furious, she says she didn't go to Miami because she doesn't love Mike and doesn't want to run from her problems. She is not moved by his story of failing to find her at the airport. She reminds him how disappointed she is in him and that he can't really love her. "From now on, our relationship is purely professional."
Tomas's prison roommate el Tanque (what an interesting looking guy) has somehow disattached the Gargoyle (who beat up Tomas) from his henchmen. El Tanque is so grateful (Tomas has gotten him lawyer help), he holds the Gargoyle while Tomas lays down laws (e.g. "don't harm the defenseless") and punches him. The Gargoyle is crying! "Hah hah, what if all our fellow incarcerates saw you now? Law three: your reign of terror is over."
Midory (she who sexually harrassed Arnold hence causing him to turn faux-gay) meets Pancho and starts flirting. He things she looks familiar. She suggests they met in a past life. "What, you don't believe in reincarnation?" "No, I'm a Catholic."
Arnold gets a friendly welcome from Rebe who laughs and laughs at his Midory-Raymound predicament. His two pursuers catch up with him. He flees like the fox from the hounds and takes shelter with Vince and Enzo.
Chela, complaining to Candy in Napoleon's house, faints, which we know means she either has leukemia or is pregnant. This is a comedy, so I vote for #2. Napoleon offers to ship her off to a hospital in his private helicopter.
Pancho invites his daughters to lunch. He tells them Rebe's back. Ana nags him to help sell her cd. He gets all the kids (and Nenene) to stand in the street and shout and wave cds. It's lame but they have some success. This seems like some recursive product placement - because this is a real cd, right, and Univision reaps the profits if people buy it!?
Enzo tells Lidia he's thinking about Chela. Lidia claims she has no expectations, as long as he tells her the truth.
Fer is happy to hear Doc Oc arranged for a second DNA test. So happy, in fact, that she accepts his marriage proposal.
Pina gets a very complimentary card from Vince inviting her to dinner. He orders up a private room, two waiters and champagne.
Candy cries about Vince FF>
Napoleon, at the hospital, calls Pancho to say Chela's in the hospital. He tells Chela (why isn't the doctor the one to tell her?): "You're pregnant." He assumes Pancho is the father. He'd like to get Candy this pregnant.
Pancho and various kids come rushing into the hospital and get a look at Napoleon. They then rush into Chela's room, she tells them she's pregnant. All rejoice. "Napo" shows up with a gigantic stuffed bear. Temo becomes a big Napo fan when he's offered a helicopter ride. Moni asks Chela: "This is going to be my little brother, right?" Chela admits Enzo's the dad.
Ana goes to see Rebe, Rebe rehashes her anti-Pancho ire. Ana, a little embarrassed that she's been part of the problem, says "Temo and I were like dogs with a slipper." She said she didn't come exactly to convince Rebe to go back with her dad, but because "you have earned our affection." Both cry. Lidia comes in at the end of their love fest.
Pancho and Napo talk in the hospital hall. Pancho says "the concept of forcing Candy to marry is a bad concept. She loves the demon himself, Vince." Napo tells him Vince is going to reconcile with Pina.
Elsewhere, this very same info makes Arnold jealous. Then Midory shows up and begs for a few Arnold minutes. She grabs him and tries to take a few bites. "Stop menacing me!" he squeals as he runs away.
Enzo tells Ana he can't compete with Pancho for Graciela's affections.

Vince is STILL MY HUSBAND..."

El Talismán #31 Wed 3/14/12 writers are finally earning their chamba; Lookraz needs to study mechanics... and panchito's scary day
Recaps by Anita and Marta Ivett
I love it, our poor telenovela got relegated to the Hour of Shame just when things start getting interesting. Add to that, two recappers posted recaps for this one episode! Anita posted hers on the weekly comment but it deserves its own post. Then Marta sent me her recap; so it must be kismet. On the day when all heck breaks loose in telenovelalandia, protagonist walks off the job (or gets walked off), writer gets fired, we have two recaps and a new post for discussion.
Anita's recap:
EL TIRESOME
Here goes--2nd Verse, Same as the First.
If you watched yesterday's and missed today's, you didn't miss much.
Elvira is reassured of Renato's wealthy status after having a serious discussion with Secretario-guy. She also learns that he has no other amante, although he did have his aventuras when he was much younger. She'll be back tomorrow to redecorate the whole house, which she thinks looks frio (Secretario-guy looks sick).
Antonio and Piggorio have a father and son discussion about wills. I think Tonio has the will to outlast Piggo. Where are we with the poisoning? PapaPiggo seems pretty healthy to me right now.
P&C are still in Tijuana. Cami has dudas about Pedro when she hears him speak Mariana's name outloud in a dream. She WANTS to know if he loved Mariana enough for her to become his mujer. Muy impactado Pedro finally swears his love for Cami and swears she's the only person he's ever loved. Smoochies.
There are two very creepy dream sequences in this episode. Lukrazia has found Mariana's address book. She brings it into Pedro's room and stretches out provocatively on his bed and dreams of haciendo el amor with Pedro. She wakes to find him AWOL. That puts her in a snit.
Antonio's begins his episode by choosing one of two "escorts" he brought in (actually his bottle makes three) to accompany him to a room in The Only Hotel INN--Fresno. He orders the "pro" to fix herself up like the girl in a photo he hands her. My, my it's of Camila
...Lo and Behold!! Not only did the Stand-In Camila do a superb job of looking like Camila, she even sounds like her, too. Antonio's dream involves some licking (yuck).
Flo visits Claudio over at El Tal to intentar a relationship, although she prefers to remain good friends--then she comes up with "friends with benefits" (another yuck in the making?). She almost gets caught by Genov (no prob), although she gets hysterical. Then she does get caught by Mama Doris who is just on her way out the door with her suitcase (no prob), although Flo doesn't see anything wrong with this picture.
Renato has decided to have a boda day after tomorrow. He gets Armando to help him get a surprise boda ready. Armando grills him again about whether he's deceiving his mother. Renato gets insulted and nearly cancels the whole thing (yeah, like crossed fingers and tongue in cheek).
To pay for the boda, Renato seeks out Tracy. Yes, in all his munificence, he'll let her go--NO WAY, REALLY? Yes, yes, but first you have to give me ALL your money.
Armando calls Pedro at the sacristy. Are they in a different time zone? Everybody in Tijuana is asleep while everyone in Fresno is awake. Armando wants to reassure Camila that Renato is on the up and up, because Renato said so.
One scene I forgot to include was the police detective visiting El Tal and talking to Aunt Pat about the phone call. He says he will reopen the case, but they should be very discrete, because if it gets out it could start tongues wagging about Pedro again. Lukrazier just happens to overhear that from her perch upstairs.
Your faithful scribe,
Anita

Marta Ivett's Recap:
The
fake Mariana calls wherever Padre, Pedro and Cameela are… Pedro gets
nervous, grabs phone from padre… turns out it is a woman hired by
Antonio… again… YAWN.
At
the ‘supposed luxury apt of Rennie’s’, the maitre-d lets Elviral in… she
comes up with excuse she needs to ‘get to know Rennie’… does he have
more properties? … does he have another woman?... guy says he is single
and rich.. ‘well, then he is really rich?’… the man lies and says Rennie
does have lots of money, many successful businesses… bout time Mr Nato
enjoys life.. that is just egging on Elviral’s ego… man keeps on lying
saying Rennie needs some tlc… Elviral is drooling… as soon as we get
married, we will live here. (man seems to startle a bit irritated)
At Rita’s… Rita is nagging she has to see the ‘gordo ese’ again…
Tracy comes out… she is shy, wants to talk to Rennie… Rita gets annoyed, but Rennie will listen. Tracy
does not want to be around when Elviral is here… Rennie tries to
intimidate her again into staying… Rennie will let her go as soon as he
gets married, but if you talk before that, you asked for it …
Back
to phone call… Pedro asks Mariana several times where she is… (the
woman hangs up… Antonio satisfied at what she did.. that was enough for
today)..
Pedro can’t stay doing nothing… but there is nothing he can do but wait…
At
traz… Antonio and Vale see Pigorio come in startled… he wants to talk to
Antonio about his mom’s will… you are wasting your time… let your
lawyer come in and I can show him her LAST will… in case you did not
know, the official will is the last one (regardless if she died a couple
decades ago? Really, Pigorio?)… and in it your mom gave it all to me,
you and Lukrazy have no rights, NONE, over ‘traz. … this got Antonio’s attention…
Cameela
agrees with Pedro staying with Padre… in case Mariana calls… Cameela
offers to stay with him… Pedro’s passion goes on haywire… but quickly
Padre summons her to the guest room…
Back to the fake luxury apt… houses at the beach… after there they usually get on the yatch… very big one… Elviral
plays ‘don’t get along with sea but will endure if there is a party or
event to attend’… she will ‘compensate’ the man once she moves in… she
wants to re-decorate the apt… she will turn it into what Rennie always
dreamed of… (I bet with huge paintings of her wearing head bands)… it
will be a great surprise for him… the man gets really uneasy…
Claudio receives an unexpected visit, Florencia… Lukrazy
told him she was coming… Flo is really uncomfortable visiting him when
he is alone.. people can talk and imagine the wrong thing.
She does not want the word to get to her dad or granddad… they share some juice…
Armando is on laptop talking to the laptop… no, it is Fabiola on video chat… hmmm.
Could Fab take a pix of him on screen and show Flo? This could be very
bad for Armani… Fab is happy, wants Flo to be as happy when she finds
another novio..
Antonio
does not believe pigorio… totally unexpected… Pigorio roars like a lion
saying ‘traz is his, he is the ONLY owner of ‘traz… you can keep on
trying to conquer the good for nothing Cameela, you are not smart enough
to get a woman like her… Antonio brings out the skeletons in Pigorio’s
closet too… ‘just like you were not smart enough to get Matilde,
Mariana’s mom, your true love’..
This hit Pigorio where it hurts… Antonio
claims he can have any woman he wants… but now Matilde is dead, he
could never forget her… Pigorio threats shut up or you will see what I
can do…
Cameela
in guest room gets sheets from padre… Cameela asks Padre what does he
think of what is going on… he is unsure, he finds it suspicious, prays
it is not someone’s bad joke… Cameela says she thinks it is not
Mariana…she is afraid it might be Lukrazy Negrete… a woman capable of
anything to get Pedro… Padre asks how could Lukrazy get his office phone
no?...
Cameela
doesn’t know but still thinks it could be her… once even made up that
she had been beaten as long as Pedro would take her to ElTal… we next
see Lukrazy with Mariana’s phone number/address book (so there is the
answer)… Padre says that does not sound good… but every creature of God
has something good in them… only Pedro has the number… but even he
forgets it now and then…
Lukrazy at ElTal is in Pedro’s room, laying on bed rubbing on it in a perverted way… she dreams of Pedro being with her in the negligee of the month… Pedro fully dressed… not really seductive dream, is it?... whoa!
She dreams Pedro says ‘I love you so much, Camila, so much!’ and she
wakes from the nightmare upset ‘camila! Always camila! … I can’t stand
that tasteless/bland woman!’(insipida)…
Flo
with Claudio… she is releasing her upset heart on him… poor Claudio… he
offers to help her forget her old novio… she is afraid it won’t work…
he wants her to let him try… she does not want to hurt him… he insists
so she gives in… but lets not make it official… lets try as ‘friends
with rights’ first.. so she wants a free and open relationship, you can
go out with someone else, I can go out with someone else… Claudio is
willing to take it … as long as she gives him a chance.. she won’t let
him walk her back home.. suddenly she sees someone and gets really
scared. Claudio investigates.. not to worry, it is Geno, Cameela’s
friend… its ok.. Flo not so sure, she says Geno is friends with Cameela,
and she hates Cameela because she will marry my dad.. Claudio
impactado…
(well,
they are not quite as ‘safe’ as Claudio thinks).. Geno runs right back
with the gossip to Cameela’s replacement Tomas… they agree that Flo
surely escaped from ‘traz to see Claudio… they are banned
from talking with anyone from Eltal.. Geno comments that it is sweet to
go against ‘lo prohibido’. Seems like these two are hot for each other…
no problem if you stay…
Pigorio
and Antonio are STILL arguing… Antonio says go ahead and hit me like
when I was a kid… noone will accuse me of your death… but that does not
mean I won’t kill you…’ Pigorio dares him… Antonio insists ‘noone will be able to accuse me,… daddy.’
The
police teniente comes to ElTal, Tia and Sarita tell him about the calls
to Pedro, seems the calls were from a payphone… cop says he can find
out where the calls came from. Tia gets hopeful that she will recover
her niece… teniente says another important thing would be that we can
find out if Pigorio had something to do with her dissappearance.
Teniente will reopen the case tomorrow. But something sounds odd… could
someone play a bad prank on you all? If we re-open the case and Mariana
does not show up, the comments/gossip will start over again in all of Fresno… tia understands, all eyes / accusations will get on Pedro again… Lookrazy has been hearing this, she wants to see what happens when the whole town starts gossipping that Pedro killed Mariana.
Padre
and Pedro talk, Pedro wants to wait for another call from Mariana…
Padre asks him to calm down… Padre says remember what Sister Luciana
said when you were worried? ‘rested and relaxed we will know how to deal
with the storm’… Padre asks him in the name of Sis Luciana, get some
rest. Pedro misses her so … Padre says surely she is with God… don’t
worry.
Gives Pedro a pix of Hna with Padre and all the kids, she would like for you to have it.
Pancho
comes to see Pigorio… Pigorio is not in mood to talk… Pancho gets his
attention with ‘I thought you would like to know what Lookrazy said
about what she is going to do with her part of the ranch, but I will
tell you tomorrow’.. seems she is about to give it to Pedro Ibarra.. (say what?)
Pigorio
is in disbelief… swears that will never happen… how far is the
dumb/brute Lookrazy capable of going? I would die before seeing my ranch
in the hands of that wretch!! Pancho agrees with Pigorio, he would
fight to prevent that from happening too… Pigorio puts him on the spot
right away.. ‘you would even kill?’ … Panchito gets a bit restless,
reluctantly says yes, but first we have to see if Lookrazy DOES give her
part to Pedro.. right? But I don’t think she would go that far.. but if
it were to happen, I would do anything to see you happy… Pigorio is
glad to see one of his children is brave and really cares for him. You
inherited my character… and I will let you prove it.. I want you to kill
Pedro Ibarra… (Panchito gets deer in headlights look) Pigorio asks are
you already regretting what you said? ..no, no, dad but it feels a bit..
hijoles! … a bit scary, no?
but I’ll do it. Pigorio says he likes the attitude but there won’t be
no need (anyone else sees a resemblance to the biblical
episode with Abraham and God and the sacrifice of the son?)… Panchito
recovers his breath, he was turning tomato red… ‘because if Lookrazy
dares give him her part of ‘traz, noone, not even you, will take away
the pleasure of killing Pedrito myself. Panchito gets scared again, but
nods yes…
Cameela comes out of room, finds Pedro sleeping in sofa… she can’t sleep but he is sound asleep. She puts a blanket on him… as
she puts the blanket on him, he says the name of Mariana, she wonders
if Pedro is dreaming of Mariana, (in credits we see a take of Mariana
that is very pretty, she looks like she has a bright aura around her) …
asks him (he is still sleeping… why don’t you wake him up with a kiss
and ask him, you stupid version of princess charming??) did you ever
love her? Are you going to leave me when she returns? … ay, Pedro..
sometimes I feel like I know you and other times… I don’t know you at
all…
Phone
rings, it is Cameela who is really anxious, answers it and does not let
anyone out there speak… where are you? we are desperate!.. .now it is
Pedro who asks her to calm down and not speak that way, Pedro grabs the
phone and asks more calmly if it is Mariana and where she is… false
alarm, it is some Sra Sanchez looking for Padre Sebastian.
Padre has to leave to do his stuff… with a dead guy…
Pedro
does not want to argue/fight with Cameela, are you jealous of Mariana? …
Cameela demands he tell her if he ever loved Mariana as a woman…! Pedro
can’t believe she is distrusting him… repeats I don’t love Mariana,
love her as a friend/sister, nothing else! (how many times should we be
submitted to the same script page?? ENOUGH!!) .. why are you crying?? …
Don’t know, it’’s not your fault! But why did I have to fall in love
with such a complicated man?? (is he really complicated or are you the
one complicating matters to the Nth degree with your jealousy??) (he
just stays there staring at her, good for you Pedro! No use wasting any
more drool on this argument)
PI: now it turns out I am the complicated one? Let me tell you you are no easy puzzle either.
Cam: I don’t have to get hard/difficult.
PI: Please understand what I am going through. I am worried about Mariana.. but I can’t understand the reason for your jealousy.
Cam: Forgive me, my jealousy is huge! I know! Please forgive me!
PI:
(comes to hold her from behind to comfort her). Ya ya.. easy.. please
understand one thing.. I love you too much.. you are the only woman I
have loved in my life…
Cam keeps appologizing.
PI: I want you to calm down.. you will see when Mariana shows up, everything will work out…
Elviral
comes back to hotel, assures Armani that Rennie is indeed rich… Rennie
calls the room, Armani answers but Rennie does not want Elviral to know
it is him… he is at hotel lobby and needs to talk to Armani… Armani meets Rennie at hotel lobby, won’t want to marry her… want the wedding to be in two days… (Armani
is startled) As Rennie explains, they see Antonio arrive at lobby with
two girls… Armani freezes so Rennie turns around. Antonio is getting a
room… Antonio shoves one girl away.. only to invite the hotel
receptionist to join them.. (*creep!).. Rennie asks Armani
who it is, Armani tells him he is the dad of a friend of mine… Rennie
asks him to be discreete, about the guy betraying his wife… Armani
shakes it off and
resumes the talk about wedding… Rennie wants to do the civil ceremony
as a surprise for Elviral… do I count on you?...
At Traz, Doris
is leaving again with suitcase, runs into Flo coming back… where are
you coming from? Went out to walk by yourself at this hour? … don’t
believe you, if you don’t want to tell me don’t worry, but your dad
would not like to find out you were out walking on your own at this
hour. Go to bed… Flo gets to bedroom, tells Fab about the
scare her mom gave her… but she did not insist in asking questions…
since she also leaves mysteriously at night, she could not question you
anything… Flo tells Fab she and Claudio are ‘friends with rights’… it is best way to try to fall for him without official commitment. Fab is not in agreement… Jose left you crazy…
At hotel room Antonio is rude and nasty with the girl… sends her to get a picture from his suitcase (a picture of Cameela!) I want you to makeover yourself to look like her, to dress like her and to wear high heels! When
she asks who it is, he jumps from bed, splashing his drink all over
(what’s new?) and roars at her ‘ YOU do as I say, that is why I pay
you!!’ as the girl goes to the bathroom, he serves himself
another glass.. ‘I want Cameela in my bed tonight! (THIS MAN IS
OFFICIALLY INSANE!)
Back
to hotel lobby… Armani and Rennie still planning… seems Armani has
signed up for it, but he is unsure how his mom will react, she does have
her temper… Rennie says leave that to me…
He will take care of everything… Armani appologizes and asks ‘you are not deceiving my mom, are you?’ ..
Rennie asks Armani ‘you really think I will betray your mom? I can’t
believe you can think that of me’… Armani claims they don’t know much
about him… Rennie puts the pressure on ‘what exactly are you afraid of?’
(best defense is offense, right?) look, Armani, I adore Elviral, but if
you all are goung to question my integrity, I won’t beg Elviral. IF she
really loves me, she knows where to find me!’ Armani gets concerned and
Rennie gives him a card with the address of ‘his new apt in NY’ he
is going there tomorrow.. she will know where to find me… Armani
appologizes for questioning him.. it is not my mom who doubts… she does
believe him… Armani ends up agreeing to
have the wedding in two days..
Pedro’s cell rings… it is Armani… calling for Cameela… Cameela
is sleeping… Armani asks pedro a favor, to tell Cameela she can rest
easy, Rennie is not deceiving her, already confirmed it. (Pedro gets
doubtful stare).. Pedro questions Armani, are you sure? Armani tells
Pedro the plans of Rennie’s… Pedro gets even more suspicious as he hears
the story… he tells Armani it sounds suspicious. Armani says it is
strange indeed, but Rennie does not want a big event wedding, sort of
like me, who hate social events… Pedro asks Armani to stall Rennie at
least one more day to let them get back in town. Armani says will try,
but will be close so can keep watching Rennie. Pedro asks him to be careful, Rennie is a smart ass…
Teniente confirms to Tia that the case will be reopened… As
Teniente is leaving, Gabriel tells Teniente something, not sure if
related to the case of Sra Mariana… someone cut off the cables of La
Viejita, it seems they meant to cut the brake lines… Tia asks Teniente
if this could have to do with Mariana’s case. Teniente cannot tell… but
something is really strange happening here.
Sarita
gets scared that if they are trying to kill Pedro, could they be trying
again? Teniente warns them accusing someone of murder attempt is very
serious. Gabriel says that is what he thinks… he is not formally
accusing.. Teniente says does not sould as murder attempt if they cut so
many cables… asks them if something is out of the ordinary, someone
around, Tia tells him yes, there is someone outside the family staying
here, Lookrazy Negrete. Teniente asks if she would be capable of killing
Pedro.
Rennie calls Rita… he
tells her Armando fell hook line and sinker… Rita tells him they need
money, as simple as the wedding he plans, they need lots of money… Rennie says money is enough… Rita sends him to ask Tracy for more money… Rennie goes right to Tracy, will let her go… as if nothing ever happened… but in exchange she has to give him all her money…
At the house of masks… Bridgete asks Doris how is the plan with Pigorio. Doris
tells her it won’t go past this week. Bridgete warns Doris Pigorio is
going through a tough moment, he feels trapped by his son Antonio and
could be capable of anything. Doris says son of a tiger is
also dangerous (sale pintito, I guess she means comes with his own
spots), Antonio is also capable of anything.
In his hotel room, Antonio remembers when he met Cameela… then when Cameela appologized for doubting him… thinks
‘you will be mine, ‘chula’’… the girl comes out of bathroom in
red/black nightie… he daydreams it is Cameela… they get into hanky panky
and suddenly she pulls up slowly as if she were a vampire giving her
victim one last glare before going for the kill… and that’s where it
freezes, folks! Hold the thought until tomorrow…
Previews:
Antonio’s trap works… and Lookrazy’s not so much.. she ends up
arrested, calls Antonio to let him know. Apparently they found the
pliers in her room … stupid amateur forgot to get rid of the weapon…
jaja…
