La Que No Podía Amar #71 Wednesday 4/4/12 The special "short-term memory" episode with lines repeated over and over and over again
I will try to make this as short as possible, but I will probably fail as usual. I apologize for posting this so late, feel free to stone me :-).
At the Hacienda
Cinthia tries to convince Gus not to talk to Rogelio, since it’s not necessary, because she won’t say a word. Hearing that Cinthia will shut up made Gustavo’s balls shrink of all a sudden. It’s easy to pretend being a MAN, when the other MAN is missing, isn’t it? She says she has an offer for him.
Bruno tells Ana Paula that nobody knows where Rogelio is, therefore she doesn’t have to worry. Did he catch a cold? What’s up with his voice? Goes along well with his coldhearted way of being, I guess. I am so amazed by the wonderful parallel which I made, that I feel the need to scratch that and move on. Man, if you want a good advice, don’t go to Bruno. That’s like saying: Oh don’t worry, they just kidnapped him. Ana Paula can’t calm down; she is worried because she thinks they are wasting time while Mr. HotWheels might need their help. Bruno goes on saying that HotWheels is not used to giving explanations to anyone. Yeah right, he was so silent all this time with Ana Paula, that I almost mistook him for a mime. Bruno promises her that he will talk to Villafane, to see if they can search for him. Bruno tells Ana Paula that they need to talk about something else; he feels conflicted. I’m wondering if Bruno found out that I’m into conflicted guys and he tries to take advantage of this. But no, he is just conflicted because apparently he can’t be Miguel’s lawyer. Ana Paula tries to convince him that Miguel is guilty for not being able to control his addiction to alcohol, but he is incapable of killing someone, even less someone like Maripaz. Ummm…Ana Paula, not to be rude, but he did kill two people while driving, remember? Not on purpose, but he did it. Bruno says he can’t defend him because of ethics, since he is supposed to testify. QUE? Ana Paula can’t believe it. Bruno tells her that he saw Miguel discussing with Maripaz. QUE? X2 “They were shouting at each other.”
Back to Cinthia and Gus. Cinthia tells him what he told her – that the marriage between Ana Paula and Rogelio is based on a contract and that she obviously is in love with Gustavo. Gulp! He is not so convinced of Ana Paula’s feelings towards him. I think if we were to make bets, Gustavo would have 13/2 in terms of odds and Rogelio probably somewhere around 3/10. Cinthia continues to brainwash Gus, telling him that if Rogelio would find out about what they did to him, he would rather kill both than let them be happy. Yeah right! Watch out, we have a bad-ass over here! “I doubt he could do that, I am ready to face him!” Quick, someone give Gustavo the first episodes of the telenovela, where Rogelio is beating the crap out of his workers. Did you see that hand movement? ATTENTION! Entering level two of the “Kinky Zone”. No no…wait, I mean…the movement with the whip. With the whip! “Ha…you still don’t know my brother well!” And guess what, neither do you, Cinthia! I’m wondering if she actually believes what she’s saying. He would probably give Gus a beating, but killing him? Nah…
She offers him a solution in order to prevent all this from happening. All the folks in Viewerville are biting their nails wondering what she is going to say. Using Ana Paula as an example, she says they could do the same and marry with a contract. Gus is impactado.
Back to Bruno and Ana Paula. She wonders why didn’t he try to separate Miguel and Maripaz, if he saw them arguing, but he tells her he thought he shouldn’t interfere, since to him it seemed to be the typical fight between two lovers. “But of course, this doesn’t mean he killed her. However, I imagine you realize what such a declaration means in a trial.”, he continues. Ana Paula understands that he can’t defend Miguel. She says that he himself told her that the evidence is not too concluding, so if there aren’t any more evidences, they should let him go in 72 hours. Bruno remembers her that things are more complicated because of the other trial with the truck and the two people who died. Ana Paula is desesperada. But Sleazeball Bruno knows how to play his cards, so he promises her not to say a word about what he saw; he will do the impossible to get Miguel out. What a great time to step up his game…as if she isn’t busy enough by having to decide between Gus and Roger.
At la fonda
Macaria looks at her daughter’s picture on the wall; Ulises suggests they go home, but she doesn’t want to see Macaria’s room with all her stuff. He tells her they should go through this together, since he loves her very much. Macaria says she would rather die than feel that pain.
At la Hacienda again
Ana Paula is praying again. Attention everyone: New drinking game! Let’s drink every time we see Ana Paula praying. Oh wait…hold on. Ignore Alexandra the sinner! But seriously now, this is just too in my face; do I really have to see her praying all the time? Honey, this won’t make me like you more, I’m sorry. Besides, she’s a hypocrite. She would eat both Rogelio and Gustavo if she could, so she doesn’t impress me with her fake moral. But wait…praise the Lord! (sorry for the pun), Maria suddenly enters the room and tells her she has news of Rogelio. Ana Paula feels relieved, she asks where he is, but Maria has a weird look upon her face, as if Rogelio was in great danger.
Cinthia tries to convince Gustavo that it’s a great idea to marry having a secret contract, just like Rogelio and Ana Paula. And the award for most original idea goes to….Cinthia! “What are you talking about?” Huh…what don’t you get, Gustavo? Cinthia is anything but subtle, deducing what she wants is even easier than 1+1=2. Cinthia tells him they could marry so that she can get her herencia and then, when Paula will be free, they will divorce too and Gus will be able to follow her and be happy away from the hacienda.
Meanwhile, Paula is really worried, on the verge of crying and Maria tells her to calm down, because Rogelio is doing well. Gee, thanks Maria! I would have never guessed that with your funeral face! Maria tells her he went on a trip. Ana Paula is confused, but Maria doesn’t know either where he is; she says he didn’t want to say anything and that he just told her to tell Ana Paula not to worry. “But how could I not worry? He leaves, he doesn’t tell me where and when everything seemed to be fine between us, he didn’t even call me on the phone.” Oh yes dear, because you would have so many things to say to him; like, for example, the fact that your lover is right there at his hacienda.
Back to Gus and Cinthia, he is annoyed that she only got close to him to get her herencia, but she tells him that she actually fell in love with him, but she realizes that he can’t forget Paula. She hugs him, he doesn’t respond.
Back to Paula and Maria; Ana Paula still can’t understand why he is doing this to her. Woman, stop whining! What you are doing is a lot worse. “Why did he get angry with me and left just like that?” He didn’t, but he should. Sorry, is it too obvious that I can’t stand her? “He wasn’t angry; quite the contrary. He just told me that he wanted to do something very important for him and for her.” Ana Paula still wonders what that something could be, but Maria says he didn’t give any explanations. She didn’t manage to tell him anything about what was going on at the hacienda, since the call was cut right when she was about to do it.
Ana Paula asks if he left any number and it’s a no go. “But Paula, don’t think of the worst, you can’t doubt his love!” Sneaky auntie MentiRosa is at the door listening. Maria continues: “The last thing he told me is that you remember that he loves you and that the entire place is yours, since now you are in charge of the hacienda!” Ka-ching!!!! Priceless look on auntie’s face! If you look closely, you can see that her pupils have taken the shape of a dollar sign.
Back to Cinthia and Gus, who are right where we left them. Cinthia tells Gus that if he can only be happy with Paula, then she’ll move out of their way, with the condition that he helps her to get what Rogelio didn’t give her. But nope, Gustavo says he can’t do that. Cinthia insists, saying that it’s a way for him to be close to Ana Paula all this year and that it might motivate Ana Paula to complete with her marriage farce. Heh, she has some pretty good arguments! She left him thinking. I think this is already the third time that Cinthia leaves Gus puzzled…poor guy, in this rhythm; his neurons will burn from extreme forcing.
Ana Paula gives auntie the news about Rogelio and she can’t believe it. Ana Paula thanks Maria for everything; she goes to give Cinthia the news too. They are giggling like two schoolgirls. A-N-N-O-Y-I-N-G. Rosy says that with Rogelio away, it’s perfect, since she doesn’t have to worry that Cinthia might tell him something. But Ana Paula replies that Cinthia told her anyway that she didn’t intend to tell Rogelio anything. Rosy is surprised, but Ana Paula thinks she is doing this to avoid hurting her brother or to protect Gustavo, but auntie believes she doesn’t have any consideration for anyone. Ana Paula wants to speak to Cinthia tomorrow to find out her real reasons. Margarito asks her if that means that she is not leaving anymore. Ana Paula is surprised to see him awake; he tells her he woke up when he heard her talking about Cinthia and that he is happy to hear that she won't say a thing and that he'll pray for that, so that Ana Paula can stay. Oh Ana Paula, you're such a great role model for the boy, teaching him that it's better to cover up your lies than facing the truth. "God, please don't let Rogelio find out that Ana Paula was Gustavo's fiancee and make him come back soon!" BUNCH OF HYPOCRITES! HYPOCRITES! HYPOCRITES! So much mendacity in the air, as Paul Newman's Brick would say. You know, boy, she was more than his fiancee, she was his lover. Margarito is such an annoying kid. He doesn't love Rogelio a bit, he just likes him when he's nice, instead of having genuine feelings towards him. And he continues: "...so that you can adopt me!". Yeah, it's all about the interest, damn you boy!
Back to Cinthia and Gus...this is kinda boring, they are pretty much beating a dead horse, running in circles and talking about the same things over and over again. She tells him she felt betrayed when she found out about him and Ana Paula, but despite everything, she loves him and she wants him to be happy, even if he is not meant for her. She goes on, saying that she knows she won't love anyone else. Keep telling yourself that, darling! That's what Ana Paula said too and look, she formed a Bermuda triangle with Rogelio and Gustavo. She repeats again that she needs to get married in order for her to get her money and she prefers to do it with him. Gustavo tries to calm her down; he tells her he loves her (well, it's more like "I care about you"; Te quiero is a more generic term now, less powerful than Te amo, which implies strong feelings), but he doesn't think that marrying her is the best option. She still tries to convince him that it wouldn't be a real marriage, but like the one between Rogelio and Paula. He is baffled that everything is so easy for her, but she really doesn't see any complication in this. They will only have to get married in a simple ceremony, then divorce after a year. Gus says he doesn't know what to say and she lets him think until tomorrow.
Yay! Finally a stud! Bless the camera lens which captures his every move! Hugo is upset, having caught Dani crying for Miguel. He can't believe that she loves him even though he is a murderer. Oh well, she got over the accident and there were two people involved, one victim more, one victim less doesn't make too much difference. This recapper would like to ask you not to get too offended by her sarcasm. But Dani is sure he is not a murderer and also tells Hugo that despite appreciating him very much, she still loves Miguel. Oh...what's that? Can you hear it? These are the jubilant screams of victory of all the females in Viewerville, who can't thank Dani enough for moving out of Hugo's way. We'll take him, thank you! Go to your moron unibrow drunken good-for-nothing whiner. Girls, let's form a queue and try to win that stud's heart. Dani just knows that Miguel didn't do anything to Maripaz; Hugo can't believe she is so sure, but she just knows it. "El no es un asesino!" "You're blind!!" And you're no Sherlock Holmes, Hugo. Still, I'll take you.
At the delegacia
Consuelo visits Miguel, he is happy to see her, but she is there to find out the truth and asks him if he killed Maripaz. Of course, he says he didn't. No matter how drunk he was, he would have never done such a thing. Consuelo tells him that she found out from Ulises that Maripaz died from hitting her head in the fall. "She seemed to have fought with someone, since she was bruised on her arms." That triggers something in Miguel and he has a flashback where he is drunk as hell, with Maripaz trying to convince him to leave the bottle. We see Rutilio far behind, but curiously enough, even though he appears in Miguel's flashback, Miguel didn't actually see him. She tries to convince Miguel to come with her and takes his arm, but he just didn't want to move and she slips, falling on the stairs, but getting a minor injury, after which Miguel leaves. Miguel asks Consuelo to believe her and he tells her that he remembers that Maripaz got angry with him for being drunk and he thinks that later on, her father tried to separate them. "Entonces fuiste tu!!" Genius, absolutely genius, Consuelo! So the guy starts his story by telling you that it wasn't him, yet you somehow deduced from his story that he was confessing the murder. He wants her to listen to him, but it's useless, she doesn't care even if it was an accident; if he killed Maripaz, she'll never forgive him. Consu leaves.
At Rey Mansion
Bruno is angry with Rutilio, telling him that he got him in a lot of trouble for killing Maripaz. OMG he killed Maripaz! What a shocker! Not...
At la Hacienda
Auntie tells Ana Paula to watch out for Cinthia, because she can't stand her and she never knows when Cinthia might stab her in her back. Auntie says she is going to sleep and tells Ana Paula that she hopes that she will get used to the idea of being the patrona of the whole place. Ana Paula doesn't say anything, auntie leaves. She is back to her prayer mode, but she is again interrupted this time by Gustavo. He tells her that he saw her brother and he calmed him down. And the medal for bravery in face of a terrible challenge goes to....Gustavo! She tells him that if there is something Miguel's afraid of, that's the prison. And being a man. And being responsible. And have balls. Gustavo tells her he'll try to help him. Ummm...how exactly? If it wasn't for the fact that you are staying for free at the 5-star Hotel del Fuerte, you wouldn't even have enough money to rent a room at a pension. Gus, stop attempting to save the day; it's not working. She thanks him and asks him what happened with Cinthia, but he tells her not to worry and to rest, since they will have time tomorrow to speak about it. He assures her she has nothing to worry about, but she wants to know why. Oh Ana Paula, you're so curious, aren't you? She asks Gustavo if Cinthia did it to protect him and instead of telling her a simple "Yes", he repeats again the same "Please rest now." "You're weak and remember what Ernesto told you. Take care of yourself, Ana." Gus leaves and Ana Paula is worried, maybe thinking that it might be too late to take care.
At the Rey Mansion
Rutilio tries to make Bruno confess that he is enjoying the current situation and that he'll gain some profit from it. Fortunately for him, he says, Ana Paula believed him, but they shouldn't have too much faith. "If she only knew how things actually happened.", Rutilio says. Another flashback. Maripaz runs after Miguel, tells him to stop drinking. He tells her to go back to her party. Mari tells him that she knows that Dani is pregnant thanks to the info provided by Ulises and thinks that Miguel is the father, but Miguel says that her father is wrong and that in fact Ana Paula is expecting Gustavo's child. Now we got at the same part that we saw in Miguel's flashback. Still don't understand why Rutilio appeared in MIGUEL'S flashback; they could have just showed Mari and Mig and let Rutilio appear only in his own flashback. Mari falls, Mig leaves and Rutilio sneaks from behind, grabbing her and trying to rape her. She struggles with him, calling him "Poco hombre!" (Scumbag, something like that) and he gets pissed, throwing her to the ground. Bruno appears at the scene. "Que hiciste, imbecil?" "Me? Nothing! She fell by herself!" And in other news, pig have been seen flying on the sky. "You killed her!" "Well, it's better like this, at least she can't say anything anymore!" Bruno tells him to get rid of the body and take her to the river and dump her body there, but Rutilio asks Bruno to help him.
It's the end of the flashback and Bruno tells Rutilio that he will help him because he knows too much, but he also issues a warning, saying that he'd rather kill Rutilio than also taking the fall for his stupid actions. Bruno tells him not to leave the house for the moment and also that when they will accuse Miguel, he shall leave San Gabriel permanently. Rutilio takes out Maripaz's medallion.
At la Hacienda
Maria gives Cinthia the news about her brother and she can't understand either why did he do that. Maria is worried that she got into an argument with Gustavo, because she thinks that a couple should be happy. No s-star-star-t, Sherlock? And the award for the biggest Captain Obvious goes to...Maria! "And if you're not, then you should let him go." But Cinthia can't do it, since she adores Gustavo. She is also worried of what the people might say about her if they will break up, since she is not a youngster anymore. "I didn't marry David, I didn't marry Bruno and now..." Maria tells her not to care about what the people say and Cinthia again touches the Rogelio subject, wondering AGAIN why did he leave. She calls him irresponsible, because he left while they have problems with the water. Maria assures her that if she would know where her brother is, she would tell her. Well, after telling Paula first, of course. Maria can't understand either why Rogelio did that, but they can't do anything about it.
Mercedes tries to call Ernesto, but she gets the voicemail treatment. "No puede ser! Where are you Ernesto?" Some of the eagle-eyed viewers will notice the big envelope placed on the ground, near the bed, which the camera zooms on. How subtle!
Meanwhile, Ana Paula sleeps in Rogelio's king sized bed...and who can blame her? That bed looks comfortable. She has a dream with her and Rogelio. He tells her he feels she is very nervous and asks her what's going on and if there is something she would like to tell him. "Rogelio...Rogelio, I will leave this place and maybe you will end up hating me!" "A ver, a ver, tranquila, tranquila. Why do you say this? I could never hate you! Even less now, when you allowed me to get closer to you. I know that the deadline is in a year....well, I wanted to think that you will stay here forever by your own will." Ana Paula starts crying, says she doesn't know what will happen. "Moreover, I want you to know that all the time I was here, I learned to love you." Aww cute Rogelio smile!
Cut to sleepy Ana Paula saying Rogelio's name.
Back to the dream:
Rogelio: "I knew it, I knew that you would end up loving me. You have no idea how much I love you, I adore you! You have no idea what I am capable of doing for you!" "Rogelio, I don't want you to have too many illusions!" "But why not, since you just told me that you love me!!" "Yes but, there is a big difference. Yo te quiero y tu me amas". Again, "te quiero" despite being often used as "I love you", when it is being compared to "te amo", it indicates that it's not a feeling as strong as the other one. "That doesn't matter, hombre! We have to start it from somewhere. At first you were just my nurse, then my friend, then you hated me, then you stopped hating me and now you like me (but again, "te quiero" it's something a bit more profound than a simple liking) and I know that you will end up loving me." Ah Rogelio, you too? This is the second time you're saying this in less than 2 minutes. "No, no, I can't because...I I can't..." "Tranquila! Stay with me this night, let's talk please!" "I am sorry, not today!" Ana Paula leaves his bedroom. Puppy-eyed Rogelio. Aww :(.
Trivia:
It's more than obvious that this scene wasn't meant to appear in a dream. I am sure they intended to continue the tormented protagonist between two lovers storyline. However, since Jorge Salinas couldn't film anymore because of his health, they just decided to cut this scene out and insert it in a dream. How ironic that she tells him for the first time that he loves him, but that she can't be with him and this is all happening in a dream. Ana Paula, Y U so cruel? Do the damn pregnancy test already. They mentioned her weakened state so many times, that it's not even suspenseful anymore, but plain ANNOYING!
Ana Paula wakes up from her dream, wondering what she is going to do. "Why did you leave, Rogelio?"
Another day at the Hacienda
Dani tells Ana Paula that she can imagine what her friend felt when Cinthia discovered them, but Ana Paula feels relieved that Cinthia said she won't share this happy info with Mr. HotWheels. Dani says that even if Cinthia would want to do it, there is no way to do it for the moment, since HotWheels is nowhere to be found. Ana Paula wonders until when will he be gone, thinking that what's happening is very strange. Dani thinks maybe he left to leave her alone so that she can think better of the feelings she has towards him, but Ana Paula doesn't know. She just wishes him to be there with her, since she misses his support very much. "And Gustavo?" "Gustavo behaved incredibly with me also. This is why I have my heart split in two" The song "Corazon loco" starts in the background. I haven't told you this, but I hate this song with all my heart, I can't stand it!! UGH! It just doesn't fit at all.
Mercedes is with Cinthia, asking her if they will go riding, but Cinthia needs to have a talk with her first. Guess the subject! You have 30 seconds! But you probably won't need more than 5. Bingo! Cinthia asks Mercedes why didn't she tell her that Paula and Gustavo were novios. "You already know it?" D'OH!! Of course she knows it, she just asked you! Gah, how I hate these obvious questions. This is like "Hey mom!" "Hey, did you already wake up?" "Um, no, I am sleepwalking and I'm unconsciously speaking to you!". Moving on. Cinthia tells her that if she considered to be her friend, she should have told her. Mercedes asks her for forgiveness, telling Cinthia that she was worried for what might have happened to Gustavo. "It was horrible to find it out!" "I know, you have no idea how much I would have wanted Ana Paula never to appear in Gustavo's life again!" "Yes, I understand you, but you should have told me! You have no idea how it broke my heart when I heard him telling her that he loves her, especially after I had intimacy with him." Worried Cinthia is worried.
Question of the day: "Did Gustavo use any condoms with Cinthia?"
Options: A) Have you ever seen a fish climbing a tree? Sheesh, of course not!
B) I doubt he knows the meaning of the word "condom"
C) Since he is eco-boy, he probably used a condom made out of leaves, which is as useful as a paper bag over your head during heavy rain
D) Unless someone donated him a pack of condoms, since he obviously can't afford to buy any
But there is hope that Cinthia took the magic pill or that Gustavo's gun missed the target.
Hacienda, Rogelio's office
Ana Paula goes through some papers and is worried that the water issue might aggravate. Telephone rings and she enthusiastically answers, probably thinking that it was Rogelio. But nah, it's just her lovely, cuddly and extremely adorable sister Vanesa. "What do you want, Vanesa?" "Nothing, I just wanted to know if your brother is already out of prison." The big grin on Vanesa's face is a clear indicator of how much the news of the imprisonment of Miguel affected her. "Not yet, but he will get out!" "I don't know, maybe you should step aside and leave someone else or Bruno take care of the Hacienda, so that you can take care of Miguel's problem." "Look, don't worry. I know that I will manage to handle the chores that MY HUSBAND gave me." "I suppose you are overwhelmed with the problems of your family. Well, you are a nurse, but from there to becoming a business woman..." "I know it can be done; you were the daughter from a renowned family and now you are in charge of the packinghouse and run the business of our father. And now that you talked to me, I'm letting you know that I will pay a visit at your office, to check some points regarding the next delivery of the cattle to the Americans. See you later!" Nice one, Ana Paula. Still don't like you, but you won the set.
Mercedes still apologizes to Cinthia, says she really thought that Gustavo could be happy with her, that she would help him forget Ana Paula, because she knows that she does love him. "But he loves that woman, right?" "Cinthia, I feel so bad, but please understand that Gustavo is my only brother and because of what they say about your brother, I was afraid." "Well then, I suppose that that's what brothers do when they love each other. And concerning Rogelio, you are right. He is capable of killing Gustavo. That's why I didn't say anything either."
Second question of the day: Is Rogelio capable of killing Gustavo?
A) Rogeliooo!! Awww!! He's so dreamy! Uh...what did you ask? I wasn't paying attention
B) Well, he does have killer looks though...
C) Bad-asses don't kill, they torture
D) You got to be kidding me! Rogelio killing Gustavo and risking to get his wonderful black shirts dirty with his blood? No way!
Mercedes: "And now what are you going to do?" "I don't know, despite everything, I still hope that Gustavo might get to feel the same, that I could win his love." "Really?" "Yes, that's why I proposed to him, so that I can have my inheritance and he can stay here near Paula." "But that would only distance him from you!" "No, no, Mercedes, look. I hope that once we will get married, he will manage to fall in love with me. I will try to find a way to travel with him, so that he can discover that I am a lot better than Paula and while our marriage will last, I will struggle to make him love me."
Umm, that's all very nice, Cinthia, but there are two problems. 1) He didn't accept your proposal yet. 2) "Ojos que no ven, corazon que no siente" (out of sight, out of mind). I bet it will be a piece of cake to make him forget Ana Paula by seeing her DAILY
Mercedes asks Cinthia what will happen if she won't manage to do it and Cinthia says he would give him back his freedom, even if it would break her heart. Aww she cries.
At la empacadora (packinghouse)
Vanesa explains to Ana Paula that the deal they sealed with the Americans is very convenient for both parties. "Yes, I know, that's why I assure you that you'll have the cattle ready for delivery with all the required certificates. You'll see that everything will turn out to be great." Ana Paula really has the jolly mode going. Vanesa reminds her that she and Rogelio are the only ones who deserve all the credit for closing the deal and that Ana Paula can't presume anything if she hasn't worked on it." Ring ring! Vanesa answers the phone and on the other line is Mr. Williams. She tells him she was just talking about the delivery which will surely be the first of many. Optimistic Ana Paula is optimistic; she keeps smiling all the time. It's quite scary in fact.
But BOOM! Mr. Williams apparently gives her some really bad news, judging by her QUEEEE? Vanesa is impactada. Ana Paula has puppy eyes. Vanesa says it's impossible, she asks him to let her check what happened and that she will get back to him later. Ana Paula asks what happened and Vanesa tells her that Rogelio is a miserable who pretends to ruin her, because the meat he sold her so that she can pack it to California is contaminated with clenbuterol. Ana Paula is terribly impactada.
At the Jailhouse Rock
Dani and Rosy are visiting Miguel; he asks if there are any news, but nope, no luck. Dani says that those 72 hours are almost over and they will surely let him go. Rosy agrees, because they don't have any evidence. Miguel says that he has no idea what will happen to him, but there is something that has him worried. "Is it true that my sister is pregnant?" OH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! You know how it happens when you keep repeating something. One can only hope that Gustavo is a lousy shooter. Dani tells him not to worry about that, but auntie shoves her and tells him that they don't know, because his stubborn sister didn't want to take the test. Mig says that if she is, it will change everything. Oh really? You don't say! "Ana Paula should stay with the father of her child." Ummm Miguel, since when are you an expert on these matters, as if your love life is at its very best? She is old enough to decide by herself with whom to stay. And since when are you obligated to stay with the father of your child? Sheesh.
Rosy: "Ayyyy sii, as if it was so simple! Do you think she can just tell Rogelio: See you around, I will form a family with the fiance of your sister Cinthia?? He left God knows where and he doesn't know anything about what's happening. Moreover, what do you think that would happen to you if Rogelio would find out? They would send you to prison and you would stay there for the rest of your days!" Ha! Rosy is a true Rogeliana! Dani tries to convince him that that won't happen, but Rosy won't let go. "Do you think that he will still want her with him knowing that she expects a child with someone else? Do you really think that knowing all that, he will keep helping her brother?" Miguel tells Dani to tell Ana Paula not to worry and to take the test and if indeed she is pregnant, she should leave. Ummmm hello! Remember what happened last time when she left? Yep...now shut up!
Miguel continues to showoff his flashes of genius, saying that maybe Gustavo can take Ana Paula with him. Riiight, he can't even pay for himself, let alone for someone else. "What are you saying????", shouts Rosy. "That they should go together, far away!" Dani tells him that things got more complicated while he was busy doing all the unimaginable things, so that he can't stay sober. "She is confused concerning her feelings towards Gustavo, so we will take things calmly and wait for Rogelio to return."
At la empacadora
Ana Paula tells Vanesa that since she knows Rogelio for a long time and she was even about to marry him, she should realize that he wouldn't have done such a thing. Ana Paula defends him saying that if there is anyone who has an excellent control over the quality of his cattle, that is Rogelio. Vanesa says she thought the same, but Williams told her that the analysis showed that the meat has clenbuterol. "Well, even if that's the case, Rogelio is not responsible for it. Why would he do such a thing? His name and prestige are involved too." "Well then, who knows what happened? Bottom line is that the Americans are furious, waiting for me in Tuxtla." Ana Paula wants to go there with her too, because since the hacienda who sold the meat to Vanesa is her responsibility now, she wants to know what's happening and take responsibility and fix it. "You?" "Yes, me! Because apart from that, I am the only person who can sign on Rogelio's behalf!" Vanesa is impactada.
At David's place
Bruno asks him if he made a complaint again for the clenbuterol. "Yes, of course, but I don't know why hasn't the bomb exploded yet against Rogelio." "Who knows?" Bruno is answering the phone. It's Ana Paula, who gives him the bad news and tells him to revise the contract they signed with the Americans because the meat is contaminated. Bruno is fakely impactado of course and tells Ana Paula that this could cost Rogelio millions. After the call, Bruno discusses with David and tells him that the problems are very serious. David doesn't know what Ana Paula is going to do, since she has no idea about the business. "This will end just like we planned it. Bad. Very bad." "Yes, of course, because apart from the fortune that Rogelio will lose, his prestige and name will be so stained, that nobody will want to make business with him ever again." "Yes, nobody!"
At la empacadora
Ana Paula tells Hugo to get ready to go to Tuxtla, since she and senorita Vanesa will have to be there. Ana Paula tells him that she will tell Dani to make her luggage and call for an helicopter. Good guy Hugo follows the orders and leaves. Vanesa says that she either realizes how serious the problem is or she just enjoys flying with the helicopter. I would say it's both. "This is an emergency Vanesa, and I know Rogelio would have done the same! You know what? While you prepare your stuff, I will go to notify my brother and I will talk to Bruno to see what can we do." "YES and you'll have to be very careful with what you'll say, so that you don't blew it, hermanita." "I won't do it, Vanesa, don't worry!" "I hope so, because the Americans will want to receive payment for the damage and you will have to pay them and me for the damage that your hacienda caused me."
Back at David's
Bruno tells David that Ana Paula will go to Tuxtla to talk to the Americans. David says it's the perfect opportunity to throw more clenbuterol and that he will finish the dam that very day, so that the hacienda will completely run out of water. Bruno still doesn't look too happy, but David tries to convince him that everything will be fine. Bruno says he knows it and that he will think of how to arrange all the details, so that they can hit Rogelio from all sides. David says that no matter what, they must avoid affecting Cinthia. Poor guy, he still hopes to get her. Bruno also believes she doesn't want to have anything to do with him, especially since Gustavo is with her too. David however doesn't see Gustavo as a threat, moreover since Rogelio is away.
At la fonda
Macaria asks the Virgin for forgiveness for her sins, thinking that it's a punishment because she was unfaithful to her husband and saying that she regrets it very much. She says she would have given her life in order to still have her daughter alive, since she was the one who deserved the punishment. Efrain enters the scene, says he is very sorry, but Macaria attacks him, telling him not to touch her. He blames him for her daughter's death, saying that he provoked her. She continues to hit him.
At la Hacienda
Ana Paula discusses with Bruno, who tells her that she would have to compensate Vanesa for the losses and that she can receive a lot more money if she will demand them for the moral damage to her packinghouse. Ana Paula is impactada. Bruno wants to go to Tuxtla personally to fix it, but Ana Paula says that she will go. Bruno tells her that she doesn't have enough experience, but she replies that that's why she wants to talk to him, so that she knows her options. Bruno says he'll go with her, but she doesn't let him, thinking that he can help more his brother as a lawyer. Moreover, she says, someone needs to stay there to make sure that the water issue doesn't get more serious. Bruno can't believe that she will go with Vanesa. "I have no other choice, but no matter what, I won't allow that everything what Rogelio built falls down."
At la fonda
Efrain tries to convince Macaria that what happened between them had nothing to do with the death of her daughter, because the sole responsible is Miguel. Macaria says she should have never returned from Mexico City, waiting for her husband instead. Apparently, she returned to get away from Efrain. Efrain repeats the same thing again, that he is not guilty and that Miguel is to blame. He swears that if his patron will help Miguel get out, he'll make sure that Miguel will pay for what he did to Maripaz. "No, it's useless to have more violence...this has no remedy, my daughter is not with me anymore." Efrain suggests that they still continue with the relationship, since in time she'll forget about Maripaz. But Macaria is pissed with the idea, she drives him away.
At the Hacienda
Gustavo and Ana Paula cross paths, she wants to find out everything what happened with Cinthia, but he doesn't want her to have another nervous crisis, so that's why he went straightly to Villafane to find out more about Miguel and apparently, there aren't any evidences against him. Umm and what does this have to do with Cinthia? She asked him one thing and he told her something else. Ana Paula is happy to hear the good news and he tells her he'll continue to take care of the matter. Apparently, he got in touch with a lawyer to find out what else can be done. He'll also see what he can do with the water, so that she won't have this problem anymore until Rogelio comes back. She thanks him and he replies that he just wants her to know that she is not alone. "I know it and I feel very bad for this whole situation, for us, for Cinthia, for Rogelio!" "Ana, this is not the best time to talk about us..." "That's right, you know how I feel! But we have to do it! "Yes...I am just asking you to think things well. Don't you really think that we can fix our relationship?" She pushes gently his hands off her womb and she places her hands there (bad vibe, bad vibe!) , saying that she doesn't know. He tells her that he hopes she will think seriously about it, because on her answer depends his life and every decision he takes. He hopes that now that Rogelio is away, she can realize what she truly feels. "You have to define yourself, we can't go on like this forever." "Why? Why? What's going on?" UMMMMM what do you mean WHY? Ah so you would like to go on like this forever? Harem del Fuerte male version? Seriously...
Gustavo: "You say you have doubts regarding what you feel for me, but are your doubts so powerful that you wouldn't mind me marrying Cinthia?"
Ana Paula is impactada. If she could, she would of course make bigamy legal in Mexico.

Abismo de pasión #18 4/4/12: Poor Damian, everyone treats him as hostile witness; a match made in heaven? ... NOT! he loves EL CAMPO life... Princess poop... not so much.
Recap by Marta Ivett
Repeats:
Lucio tell Blanca he will protect Damian if he stays, just like he has protected Elisa…
Damian and Cinderella stroll..
Dam:… look at me, who would have said I would end up falling for a girl friend I have known since we were kids… well, we are here already… lets go in, my mom owes you an appology… (she is reluctant/afraid to go in but he convinces her to go in, they hold hands…)
Surprise Surprise!!
Flo: Hello my love!
New:
(Elisa might as well have fallen through a hole right into a hot furnace… somehow she keeps herself together enough to manage a quiet exit behind Dam… he is totally taken aback and totally uncomfortable, even gets teary eyed… (wait, wasn’t this the guy who just brought her right into the lioness cage? Why is he surprised things did not go so smooth?)
Flo: oh I think your friend … left… (Naah! She just went to use the potty… she will be right back to slap you silly… Elisa style)
Dam is totally unsettled… lying through his nostrils about being so happy to see Flo here.
Out on the streets of La Ermita, Paolo and Elisa literally bump into each other, Elisa is still upset/unsettled about Flo, while Paolo is instantly smitten by Elisa’s looks… but she does not give him time to even blink… she is gone and someone could blow on him and he would fall down…
Back inside Hacienda haranguo
BotoxQueen: How did you like the surprise, my son? (come on Dam, be honest! Stte of: well, mom, let me count the ways in which you continue to make my life a living hell)
Dam finds out Paolo came along with Flo… yup, Dam, Uncle McBratt is here too.
Back at Castanon manor, Lolita ( I want that blouse! It is so cute! With flower and butterflies detail and the scoop edge trim..) finds a very upset Elisa… Elisa just found out Dam has a girlfriend and she arrived from MexCity today… its as if Damian did not want to tell he had a girlfriend, as if he wanted to hide that little detail (Give the girl a golden star!!) Lolita gives Dam the benefit of the doubt (no way he could tell you all about his life in two short meetings… or maybe his girlfriend is not so important… Elisa says it is if they are about to marry… and the way they kissed…Elisa remembers his line ‘fell for a girl I know since we were kids’ and thinks he referred to Flo, not to her. Elisa calls herself dumb for having accepted going to Fina’s hacienda (well, there you are right, sherlock!) (Lolita certainly knows her niña, she can read her like a book)… Elisa wants to go to bed… Lolita keeps encouraging her…
Once Lolita leaves Elisa rips her necklace off… then looks at it and cries…
Back to Hacienda Huarango… BotoxQueen and Princess Poop talk very leisurely while Dam, sitting behind Princess, is totally lost in his own thoughts (of Cinderella? of how he misses the smell of horse poop?)… The women talk about Guido being a workaholic… Princess holds Dam’s hands, like claiming territory.
Tio Paolo comes in and sits right beside BotoxQueen, seems he is not wasting time to begin his courting plan… but then mentions ‘this girl’ he ran into… (oopsie, don’t go there McBratt, that is taboo at BQ’s house) BotoxQueen says there are no girls in this town that are anywhere as pretty and worthy as the girls in Italy…
Back to Castanon manor… Orangina is in purple nightie ready to give ToadHead a night to remember… she begins to slurp him all over… he is not in the mood… know I am a woman? Still young and still needing a man… do you need a woman every now and then? … No, I don’t need anything… with Estefania you would not be in this mood… well, too bad she is not here to find out… Medusa is all over the poor imbecile… he looks like a Mummy… Medusa changes strategy, proposes he closes his eyes and imagine he is with Este… ALMOST… but no cigar, Medusa… he started to respond but you went too fast and he woke up from the nightmare… ‘I can’t imagine you being Estefania… if I did, I would probably kill you’. Toadhead leaves Medusa hot and messy screaming she will never forgive him..
BotoxQueen keeps giving Princess Flo the red carpet treatment… she is happy Flo came to town so the whole town sees that my son is engaged to you… Princess Flo tells BQ that when Dam arrived from the street he came with a girl. After Flo describes the girl to BQ, she says surely it was a girl friend from his childhood years… you have nothing to worry about… (wanna bet??)
Paolo arrives at the stables in his latest toy, a motor bike, and Dam is not in the mood… Paolo says there are no horses, what is the problem with this ‘beauty’ to spend the night in the stables? … McBratt brags about the ‘chulada’ expensive bike, but that is what money is for, to fulfill your wishes. Dam would prefer to ride on a horse than on ‘this’. Dam drops the bomb on McBratt, he and Flo are not planning to live here… McBratt tells Dam Flo has never liked the idea of living in the fields… McBratt then changes the subject to ask Dam about the ‘mujeron/chulada’ he ran into today… and with each word he describes Elisa with, Dam turns a notch redder and madder… and the punch line… ‘if I am going to be in this town, at least I need someone to entertain myself with’… (and Dam has heard enough) Dam warns McBratt that women here are much more conservative than the women he is used to dealing with in Europe. You could tell these two have no love lost for each other… ‘ay, nephew, it shows that you do not care at all about the idea that I came along with my niece’
At Castanon manor, Elisa is trying to sleep, then gets up and puts the necklace back on after kissing it, back to bed to dream of the owner of the other one…
Back at Mex City Kenya is looking for Paolo and runs into a jogging Guido… Guido tells her Paolo left on a trip… Kenya is upset… she is only 17.. she is in a serious problem and only Paolo can help her… Guido can guess where this is going.. and so can we.
At Hac. Haranguo… again red carpet treatment for future daughter in law… BQ wants to make a huge party to celebrate their engagement, all the ‘important folks’ in this town should attend… She will convince Guido to come for the event. Workaholic…
At Castanon Manor, Elisa tries again to get ToadHead to share his feelings and his problems with her… this time the problems are financial… about to deliver the last crop for Santa Maria folks… Elisa tries to bring back the subject of restarting the green house fields…ToadHead guesses right it was Gael who insists… you don’t want to do it because they are in my mother’s name, and you have tried to destroy anything that has to do with her all these years!!... then I will give the lands to you so you can put them in your name!... ToadHead says you and your mother are the same… noone has to give me anything!! (this MEMORABLE father/daughter chat is interrupted by door bell.. it is Damian…).
So we get a highschooler boy girl argument… he realizes she is upset and jealous of Flo … she is mad, does not admit to anything, no reason to be mad… (yeah right!)
They pull out the claims on not being fully open with each other about ‘your novia’/ ‘your relationship with Gael’ ‘I have heard it around town’ ‘what else have you heard about me?’ (this new ENJOYABLE conversation is interrupted by ToadHead who, after learning who is talking to his daughter, joins the long list of hostile welcomers that Damian has had to face since arriving in town… ‘what are you doing in my house? What the heck do you want with Elisa? I don’t want you to ever look for her. I want you to leave my house for good! If your mother does not want anything to do with my family, I feel the same way!’ then ToadHead turns to Elisa and turns up the hostility, go to your room! You have forbidden any type of relationship with this man! .. GO!!
Dam: You don’t have to yell at her!
TH: I can treat my daughter as I please!
Dam: It was I who came looking for her. And nothing you or my mother can say or do to prevent your daughter and I from continuing our friendship.
TH: Elisa does not need your friendship. And I don’t want you to look for her again. IF you do, I assure you you will regret it.
(Dam leaves quietly but giving killer looks at TH)
Lolita is at the fresh produce market buying some stuff and Horacio approaches her, tells Lolita he is looking for a job… She gives him an apple after he says has no money and he happily carries her purchases…
Guido calls Paolo to berate him about Kenya… Since Paolo is with Flo and BQ, he fakes it… BQ gets on the call and tells Guido about the party she is planning to announce the engagement. Guido will come… BQ: Do you have an issue with your brother, Paolo? (nooooo! Everything is honky dory!)
Elisa and ToadHead argue about his attitude toward Dam… did not have to be aggressive… Now it seems I should have rolled the red carpet for him!... you who have always criticized Alfo Haranguo, you are acting just like her!!... I will just tell you that If you keep seeing that boy I will have to take stronger measures you won’t like!...
In town, Lolita keeps building friendship with Horacio… Braulio and Tonia run into them and Braulio is curious beyond reasonable about Horacio… Tonia is upset that Braulio cares so much.. about time la Lola found a boyfriend, don’t you think?
ToadHead appologizes to Medusa about last night… understand there are times you can’t force it (well, it doesn’t matter if you use force or not, it is hopeless, I think. Even his face is paralized).. Medusa insinuates that it is sad that there are others who do value and love her … this gets ToadHead’s attention… noone in particular, but there are many men who would want her as a woman… I don’t doubt it… (and you could care less, right?)
BQ continues talking to Princess Flo about the guests to the party… what about the infancy friends of Dam? (… BQ changes the subject instantly…) .. you will get along well with Sabrina, my friend Begona’s daughter… whom you can spend time with when Damian is not here… no, BQ, forgive me, but if we are getting married, Dam will have to get used to be with me.. not the other way around (wanna bet, porcelain princess?)
Dam arrives… they tell him about the engagement party… BQ will take care of it all… don’t say anything.. (this is a dictatorship, don’t you remember, Damian? … man, Damian’s facial expression is priceless!!) .. you have to take Flo around town, you have been neglecting her… sure…
Elisa comes to Blanca’s shop, Blanca is worried, Lucio went to turn in the recommendation letter… and she is worried about what he will hear…
Gael catches Elisa at Blanca’s shop and Elisa tells him that she found out the lands are still in her name. But forget it. I tried again with my dad and there is no way to convince him. Gael insists… comes up with an idea… come with me, I will show you.
Just as we were afraid of, at Santa Maria Processadora, Lucio gets the turn down and gets angry. He does not like being tricked and given the run arounds… Should not have made me waste my time!.
At Procesadora, BQ arrives and Gabino tries to give her his side of the incident with Damian and Lucio… BQ is glad that Damian was so authoritative.. but you can rest easy, my son has other plans, not to stay at the head of the procesadora… for now!...
Gael is showing Elisa the remains of the greenhouse.. All the lands around are being farmed, put to good use.. except these… Elisa says its no use with her dad. Gael says we have to find the way… She closes her eyes and remembers her mother saying she would love to see the habaneros shipped around the world… Elisa tells Gael she will make it work!... Now Gael is the pessimist.. need money and you need to know about growing habaneros! Elisa tells Gael he can teach her.. he is positively amused at her excitement with the project but brings her feet down to earth… Elisa says they can ask for a loan, have to try at least.. my mom had many dreams about these lands, and I want to make them a reality.
Elsewhere in fields another optimist soul, Dam, is showing Flo the crops and telling Flo about the fields, about their procesadora shipping the habaneros around the world. She does not get why so much emotion in his words (why he is so excited about the subject) HE says he always loved to see the lands farmed…
Dam: know what? When we were kids my friends and I used to play and run around these fields.
She is totally unamused and is feeling hot, so she wants to go now…
Too bad, Princess poop, the truck won’t start… they will have to wait or walk to the road to get a ride…
In town, in front of her business ‘un toque de amor’… Sabrina is talking to another girl, Paolo arrives in his motorbike and the girls drool about him… he introduces himself to both girls… just arrived… my niece is Damian’s fiancee… he is finding a place to eat… Sabrina gets on the back of his bike… they leave the other girl behind alone… DUH!
At Dr Inmundo’s office… Medusa arrives… Paloma asks what is wrong, she has been sick a bit often lately… Bright white teeth face Dr Inmundo as he walks out a patient… and Medusa goes in his office… Paloma bites her teeth…
Princess Poop and Dam are walking down the dirt road.. Gael and Elisa come riding horses…
Dam asks Gael if he and Elisa can give them a ride to town.. Both Elisa and especially Gael seem miffed about the idea… Princess Poop walks forward and introduces herself as Damian’s girlfriend.. no, fiancee… Gael is instantly amused. Elisa rolls her eyes looking away. Princess Poop claims territory by grabbing Damian’s hand…
Damian introduces Gael and Elisa as his childhood friends ‘even if they don’t consider me as such’… Princess recalls the name Elisa as the girl who was with Dam when he arrived home last night.
Dam asks Elisa if he can ride along on her horse. Flo can go with Gael..
El: The horse is not mine. Why don’t you ask Gael? (Gael nods in approval)
Dam: Since I arrived in town, I have been dying to ride a horse… you don’t mind, right Gael?
Ga: As a matter of fact, I do… see, Conejo gets uneasy with strangers but he knows Elisa well. (Dam’s face is priceless!!)
Prin: Is he wild/dangerous? will he throw me?
Dam tries to help Flo get on Gael’s horse.. Gael won’t let it happen.
Dam suggests he will ride with Elisa and Flo with Gael… Gael has other ideas… Flo his fiancee will ride with Elisa, and Dam will get on Gael’s horse.. (Lic’ … is that short for Licenciado? Or is there another meaning for ‘lic’? I remember Gael calling Dam ‘mi lic’ at their first meeting as adults)
(the whole facial expressions and body language between Gael(dealer/daring), Damian(not amused in the least) and Elisa(not a happy camper, shooting daggers from her eyes toward Princess Poop) is priceless in this scene. It was funny how Gael, being the owner of the horses, knew he had control of the stare/dare game and acted on it.)
Sabrina arrives home to tell Gossip girl all about her meeting with the most gorgeous guy Paolo. And tells her about the party BQ is planning… But of course we will be invited! I have VIP frequent-fly-on-the-wall status with Alfonsina! (don’t know if you should be bragging about that, Gossip queen)
At Dr Inmundo’s office Medusa is putting up a whole shakespeare tragedy act about being so unhappy, her marriage is falling apart… lies saying last night when ToadHead learned she talked to the doc, he got mad and violent with her… Dr Inmundo tries to calm her down… she turns to step 2 of her plan… they end up smooching… even if he resisted at first.
Previews:
Dam: Too bad things are not as they used to be.
Sabrina to PP: Elisa was Damian’s girlfriend when they were kids. They even ran away together one day, that is why his mother took him away to Italy.
PP to Dam: How come you did not tell me Elisa and you were an item? (really, PP? they were just KIDS!) how could you introduce us as if nothing had ever happened between you 2? (he stares at her as in disbelief she is asking that… and I would be in disbelief too!)
Alright! I have a complaint to make!! I WANT MY PADRE LUPE FIX!!! he did not show up in the entire episode!!

Una Familia Con Suerte #193-194 Wed 4/4/12 when you need to pad your episodes, have a party!
I'm too tired to proof this, I've fallen asleep three times trying to watch the two hours!
Lupe wants to figure out what's the problem with the esquincle's dad.
Arnold will go to the Hallowe'en party at Pancho's since he is leaving Candy plantado at the restaurant to rush to Pina's side.
Pina can't believe she forgave Vince so many times. I've been in that situation and I hated myself just as much.
Vince gets Celeste to come over.
The tiny girl doesn't have a costume. Temo will have the chauffeur come for her.
Women have a sixth sense - Moni tells her dad Pepe sounded weird on the phone. He almost told her about Pepe mashing on Frida.
Pepe talks to his computer rather than writing that email to Moni. Finally sends it.
Cuernavaca cancelled, Ana can go home. Happy meeting with Freddy.
Freddy finds out Moms threw Pops out of the house and won't talk about it.
Vince calls Celeste Candy in the sleepy morning then hides his head under the sheets.
Enzo is mad that Pepe wrote an email rather than call Moni. "what exactly is your relationship with that girl, Pepe?"
Frida's mad Pepe doesn't invite her to the Halloween party. Moni calls but says nothing. She is crying and says they should break up and hangs up. Why do they show us only two inches of her face?
Temo says he's not like Pepe, he is faithful to Melly even though the little one has appeared.
These are serious masks! People can't recognize even their brothers/sisters/sweethearts! Arnold is there.
Fernanda says, let's have a pact of love, of being together always. Kiss to Agustin Lara.
Vince is there!
Kari comes to see Freddy, but only Pina and Adoracion are home. Kari is not happy to hear that Freddy is off with his little flea at the Halloween party.
Kari and Pina go to the party. Maybe they can ruin the party! Pancho lip-synchs to somebody else singing a peculiar song.
He names everybody and they take off their masks. Then, "I smell sulphur" and he unmasks Vince and throws a pie at him, it hits Pina, and a pie fight commences. Kari and Ana hit each other and it's just a big big mess everywhere, who has to clean this up?
Pina seems to have a hangover. Freddy avoids Kari on the way out. Vince hates his breakfast and yells for Candy.
Ultrasound time. Chela and Enzo have the usual fight, should they know the sex of the baby or not? Moni calls crying, her dad recommends she come home and see what's going on and how she feels. Enzo tells her Pepe loves her and she should come back and fight for him. Enzo sees - he says it's a guy.
Pepe has a plane ticket to go to France!
Rebe's parents arrive! The mom is very gusty and admiring, they get along immediately. The dad growls in the background as the mom and Pancho make bad jokes about in-laws.
Adrian calls Ana; he's come to town and wants to take her to dinner. She turns him down - Freddy hears. She tells him everything, which luckily isn't much.
Moni calls Pepe and says she's coming home next day.
The lawyer comes to Avon to see Vince. He gropes Celeste when she comes to announce him, he's got a restraining order and re-initiating of divorce. She's keeping all the houses and the stocks.
Pina can only think of revenge, Arnold wants her to come up with some positive ideas and leave her son in peace. He says she is co-dependent with Vince AND Freddy.
Ana brings sulky Freddy to lunch with Adrian. It doesn't go well. Adrian pays and leaves. Freddy is unattractively jealous. He yells at her.
Frida's car is located, but it's covered with graffiti and has no tires. They bond (and hug) and plan to fix it up at the shop.
Enzo and Candy are planning Pancho's bachelor party.
Lupe has gotten all her permits etc. and the guarderia is ready to open.
Nayeli has burns on her arm.
A famous successful tv guy comes to the party - he could help Candy with her radio show.
Freddy tries to get Kari to go after Adrian.
Pina is going to sell the house.
Vince has a moment of clarity and admits to Celeste (in a negligee) that he's still thinking about Candy.
Tomorrow: Napoleon returns

El Talismán #46 Wed 4/4/12 El Viral learns the truth, Rennie is grilled, and there is a sighting...
...and a possible return of a good character. Squeeeeee!!! Mariana sighting? Gotta watch to find out.
Now the Chief Investigator is doing a great
job. Pedro tried to throttle Rennie, but the Investigator made him
leave, along with Cameela and Tony. He grills Rennie about the check and
how does he know Pigorio? The Investigator knows that Rennie is a
scam artist and all this time Rita is hiding in the other room listening
in. When she makes her appearance the cop says Oh, I know who you are
another scammer!
Margarito, remember him, is now clean and sober and working as a mover, I am assuming in LA. He is thinking about contacting Claudio and maybe Pedro, but isn't sure. His coworker is trying to talk him into it, when guess who he thinks he sees? That's right Mariana on a cell phone outside an SUV. Margarito calls her name and chases after her, but she is already in the SUV and driving away and doesn't hear him. His coworker thinks he is crazy, but Margarito swears she looks like the pic that Pedro had of her.
Army gets a phone call from Tia Marina. She is El Viral's sister. She says she is coming to Fresno with her kid, don't know if it is a boy or a girl. Army asks for advice about Fabi.
El Viral finally finds out from Cameela that Pedro wrote a check all those years ago, when El Viral didn't believe him. She is stunned to find out Pedro told her the truth. But she has a hard time figuring out why Rento had it. Cameela tells her Mom he never had money, he is broke and it aint no joke. Of course El Viral doesn't believe her, but Tony interjects and says something like, "Didn't you ever think he married you for that check? Think about it"
Lookcrazy is still in that hideous outfit, that is skin matching leather,with black front looking chaps. What a fashion statement, not.
Pedro has flashbacks of Cameela and all the fun times.
Margarito, remember him, is now clean and sober and working as a mover, I am assuming in LA. He is thinking about contacting Claudio and maybe Pedro, but isn't sure. His coworker is trying to talk him into it, when guess who he thinks he sees? That's right Mariana on a cell phone outside an SUV. Margarito calls her name and chases after her, but she is already in the SUV and driving away and doesn't hear him. His coworker thinks he is crazy, but Margarito swears she looks like the pic that Pedro had of her.

Valentin and Pigorio are talking about
Mariana. Pigorio insists she is dead, but Valentin lets him know she is
indeed alive. So Piogorio sends him on a mission, I think to make sure
she dies. If this is wrong please correct.

Abismo de pasión #17 4/3/12: Mamma Mia, Thatsa Lotsa Plotsa
Productplacementadora La Anita:
After Damián interrupts the mutual choke-fest, Lucio tells him that he just came by to get a job recommendation. Damián says he’ll write it himself – by which he means he’ll get Maru to write it, and he’ll sign it. Maru is waaaay more than happy to do so. Better check that rec, Lucio, and make sure it doesn’t extol any non-work related virtues.
Damián strolls into the presidente’s office and sits down in Papi’s old chair. Spooky hummy magic-cenote music: ah, the memories. Hmmm…doesn’t he have any memories of that pivotal credenza in the corner? Wait! We like this show! DAMIAN, STAY AWAY FROM THE CREDENZA.
In pops Maru with the rec. Wow, that was quick: she must have had an old love letter on file. Damián is a little shocked to see that she has written “President of La Anita” under his name. Well, she couldn’t very well write “son of the last old dead president of La Anita,” could she? OK, but just so they both know, he’s not staying – yeah, yeah, yeah. (What do you call it when someone keeps insisting on something you know is not going to happen? An anti-anvil?)
Out on the packing floor, Gabino confronts Braulio – why didn’t you tell me the boss’s son was back? Braulio stands up to him: I don’t have to tell you everything. And anyway, just as you always said, the young folks are always waiting around to swap out the old folks, aren’t they? Jejé.
La Iglesia:
Damián drops in on the Padre and asks him about all those rumors about Eliza. Not true, says Guadalupe – she’s a good girl. People are just vicious gossips, especially, I’m sorry to say, yo’ mama. In fact, and God forgive me in advance for being such a loose-lips (boquiflojo), but Mommy Dearest has already gone over and smacked that poor girl upside the head.
Alfie, who’s been loitering over in the make-up department getting a busted lip put on, marches in when she hears her name. Thanks a lot, bro! Lots of bickering ensues and ends up with Damián telling his Mom she’s not the boss of him and he can pick his own playmates. Dude, I think you’re going to need to say that more than once.
Casa Castañon:
The Doc stops by to see his old friend Augusto, with whom he remains old friends since the days of old, even though they haven’t been in the same frame together for fifteen years. Greetings, old friend!
Augie is sober for once, although he still shambles around like Frankenstein. (I don’t remember that from before, but maybe in the old days he had less reason to lurch.) They natter about problems in the fields, and stress, and problems at home, and stress, and what old friends they are and all. Actually, Augie says, you’re the only friend I have left. In an amazingly smooth conversational transition, Doc pops out with, “You don’t really love your wife, do you?”
Well, um, no, actually. It was a mistake to marry her. The Doc tells him that even so, she has stuck by him all these years, and he should treat her better. Augie says Carmina’s not the shrinking violet you think she is – she can take care of herself.
Meanwhile, the Tropic Under Discussion is, of course, listening at the door. Eliza catches her and they have a little spit-spat about how badly behaved each finds the other. Eliza flounces off to the kitchen just as the doorbell rings. It’s Damián, asking after Eliza. Tropicana tells him she’s out running around as usual; who knows where or with whom. You know how those trashy girls are. Yeah, sure, I’ll tell her you stopped by, coz I have such superb social skills. I gotta go now and slather on a bunch of lip gloss to plant on the doctor on his way out.
Casa Tovar:
Bony Begony is giving her son a hard time for working so hard at the factory that he didn’t even bring home any gossip. What you should be doing, she says, is cozying up to the Prodigal Son – he’s the real dueño, and why shouldn’t he sack Gabino and give you the foreman’s job? Enrique’s eyes light up – really, Ma? Ya think?
The Doc comes back, and Begoña snarls that he’s not to worry, they ate without him. And where were you, anyway? Why, I stopped by to pay an old-friend visit to my old friend Augusto, like old friends do. She doesn’t much care for his choice of friends. Well, he doesn’t much care for hers – why doesn’t she dump that Arango harpy and hang out with nice women – like sweet, simple Carmina Bouvier, for instance? She looks at him like he’s the biggest idiot in the world, which he is. Yeah, you’ve got great taste in women – between crazy Carmina and that incompetent secretary, you’re 0 for 2. He flounces out, leaving her “con la palabra en la boca” (still talking.) Hard not to, really.
About Town:
Meanwhile, unbeknownst to us, Gabino has been running a Yucatán-wide talent search for someone smarmier than himself, and the lucky winner has fetched up at the cantina wearing a lean and hungry look and some kind of ratty straw man-purse. In between wild paranoid glances in all directions from under his scraggly bangs, he tells Gab that he needs to hide out for a while (presumably from the fashion police.) Gab marches him off to a hotel, makes him take a shower, and gives him a passing grade on his first exercise in gratuitous shirtlessness. He cleans up pretty good for a jumpy psycho felon. Maybe tomorrow he’ll get ponytail lessons.
“So what about that job you promised me?” “Chill out, pal, it won’t be long. My enemies are catching up with me, and I need you to watch my back.” Talk about job security – he won’t run out of work anytime soon.
In, Around & Between Casas Castañon y Arango:
Eliza and Lolita are reminiscing in the kitchen and Eliza asks her why she never married. She replies that there was someone, once…Eliza remembers: Braulio! That’s right! You were really in love with him, weren’t you? Lolita’s misty smile says it all, especially after Eliza remarks that he is always asking after her with Don Lucio. So, are you still in love with him? Whoops, we’re out of bread – here, you stir the soup while I run off to change the subject.
In the driveway, Lola runs into Damián, who asks if Eliza is back yet. Back from where? She hasn’t been anywhere. Oh, don’t believe anything her tía says – she’s just trying to keep you two apart. Here, let me drag you into the house and throw you at her.
Damián tells Eliza he knows all about the slapfest and now he understands why she was so cool to him. But we can’t let our parents run our lives – we have to confront them right now, starting with your Dad. Bad idea, Dam, he’s in his study, drink – um, thinking. All right then, come-onna my house, and we’ll straighten my mother out once and for all. (Gee, great idea, Damián! Shove Eliza up your Mom’s nose and then leave town. Way to make life easier for your homies. Clearly your grad degree isn’t in Psychology.)
While they’re strolling the 16 feet between mansions, Damián expresses surprise that Eliza’s never had a novio. I expect love to happen all of a sudden, she says, out of the blue. Dam-dam goes on to muse dreamily that he never would have suspected that he’d fall in love with a girl he’s known since they were children. Naturally Eliza thinks he means her and goes all Cinderella-at-the-ball. (Clearly his grad degree isn’t in Communication, either.) Fortunately that little anvil isn’t long in falling – about 6 seconds, actually. They go through the front door of Casa Arango hand-in-hand, and who should they meet but…
“¡Mi amor!”
…Florencia, who trip-traps across the floor as quickly as her blinding white ace bandage dress will allow and hangs herself around Dam’s neck like an Italian Medallion.
Well, looky there: Eliza can do that boiled-egg thing with her eyes, too. She doesn’t look as deranged as auntie, but give her time.
