La Sombra del Pasado #77 6/3/15
I'm subbing for Kat tonight. I don't know whether to tell her she owes me big time (because there were some things that really upset me or squicked me out) or thank her profusely for needing the sub (because there was some great stuff.)
I really feel like there are two writing teams. One is an expert team that's great at character development, creating tension and storytelling. The other team is a bunch of high-school sophomores cutting and pasting from the internet.
And they've inexplicably given the cut and paste team the main storyline.
I've organized this by writing team and then by events. Things may be a little out of order and highly condensed.
The Cut and Paste Sophomores
After overhearing Cris's call to the lab, Cande realizes they can't let him leave the house. She tells Sev as much. They can't let Cris send off the samples.
Cris is getting Aldonza's sample ready. He hears Cande screaming for help. He puts the envelope under some gimcrack on the mantel and goes to investigate.
Sev fakes some kind of attack. While Cris is helping Sev, Cande goes to snoop in Cris's room. See? I told you. Sophomores. Needles to say, she finds the envelope. She tells Cris to tell Mel to get the car ready. She tells Dom to go with him. Once alone Sev tells Cande they can't get rid of the sample or Cris will know. Cande has another idea. We aren't exactly sure what because the next we see of the envelope, Cande it returning it to the mantel. By the time Cris gets back to his father's bedroom, Cande is back in place. It's like the end of an Agatha Christie movie. Both Sev and Cande inform Cris that they won't need the car. Hum told them that Sev just needs to rest.

Que Te Perdone Dios Capitulo 95 " Let's just sleep together with nothing going on"
Recap (In no particular order):
- In his goody goody mood, Faust drops the balls to Ren that he is the Padre Of all the Dumbs that are sacred ( They're still innocent fragile human beings, they just lack a brain) , Mateo. Ren tells that she already knew because Helena told her. Faust is obviously molested with Hell trading secrets like cooking recipes. He pretends that he compares himself with Ren because they both have a special someone and a deadly truth to accompany their sad life stories . Ren also gets served his weak side of fake penance. He also assures that his stuff with Diana ended when he discovered that he was not the only one driving Di mad ( Oops i meant the word Mattttt) .Ren sucks it all in like a fifth grade risotto. Those are Sev's Heavens indeed. Candy atleast knows her rotten plate, but Ren keeps acting like Virgin Mary . Oblivio is Einstein compared to Ren.
- Diego encounters Lucio in his house holding Domingo by his mouth. Diego of course snarls at Luc as the authorities arrive with him demanding Barragan but of course these bimbos are Fed's wises Lucio so he's getting nailed for a long long time. Luc is disgusted by Diego as he demands for the Fed's to take him away as Dom also gets taken away by force. Luc later gives some Fed a stash of money for playing his part in the deadly game as an useful idiot.

Lo Imperdonable #12 Tue 6/2/15 Dump the chump and the rest of your family
Oh this novela might drive me crazy, last night made me want to stab someone and we are only 12 episodes in, will this recapper survive?
Let's get to it, it will be a little bit short but only because I have work that I need to get to. Here we go:
Martin meets with Jorge to discuss becoming his gold vendor, he will also take the opportunity formally ask Jorge for Veronica's hand in marriage. The two men meet, as far as the business deal goes Jorge accepts Martin as his gold provider but he will only agree to a one time deal, if things work out he will offer Martin a long term arrangement. Then they start to discuss Veronica and my blood starts to boil, if the rest of my recap sounds grouchy it's because I was grouchy watching this mess.

La Sombra del Pasado #76 6/2/15 Close Your Damn Doors!
RECAP BY HELLASHELLE
Short: Sev tells PJ about the night Ray died, but not about the rape; PJ struggles hard to deal with his newfound hatred. With Eman’s help, Cris sneaks into Aldie’s room and cuts a lock of her hair. There’s no water at Las Animas or El Santuario. Cris asks Ren to delay the divorce; Ren refuses. Cris tells Cande the divorce will take 3 months. Cande overhears Cris asking a DNA clinic if the test can be done without the dad.
Long:Severiano continues to torment PJ. He fills in the details of Raymundo’s death: that Ray caught Sev and Rob together and attacked him with a machete, leading to Sev’s losing his arm. When PJ asks why Sev’s telling him this after all these years, Sev says that he wants to make PJ an accomplice to his sins. He adds that he wants PJ to know why he’s always hated the Alcocers: Because their family got the lands the Mendoza’s once owned, because Raymundo made him an invalid, and because Roberta made him lose his family. He says PJ can’t do anything to him now, just like he couldn’t do anything when Aldonza needed him most. He doesn’t elaborate on this and PJ assumes he’s talking about the war between he and Aldonza. PJ tells Sev that his own actions brought all of this on, he can’t blame others. Sev says even if that’s true, he doesn’t care: Aldonza will still pay. PJ takes this as a confession that Aldonza’s not his daughter, but Sev says he never said that and PJ will never be able to prove it. Once Sev crosses himself and starts to leave, PJ grabs him and it about to give him the beating of his life when he looks up and sees a Virgin Mary statue. Sev laughs evilly in the background as PJ helplessly lets him go, hands tied by the rules of his faith. As PJ cries, staring at the statue, Sev creeps up behing him and says he hopes PJ can sleep soundly now.

Truth bombs, truth bombs everywhere! La Sombra Del Pasado#75 06/01/2015
Hi Patio peeps! I've been missing in action due to work commitments but here I am with your Monday recap, I'm going to cover the small things that happened in the episode first and then we will move on to the real action, you might want to have some wine/tequila by your side, you'll need it! Oh, also events are totally out of order but it makes my job faster and easier!
Renato, Cris and the Aldi drama
Renato serves Cris with the divorce petition, Sev and Cande both have smug looks on their faces, I wish I could slap them. Later, Renato informs Aldonza that he has delivered the paper work to Cris and suggests that things could move along faster if she told the court that she and Cris are brother and sister, she refuses and says that that subject will never be spoken about.
Cris goes to see Aldi and says that he will not divorce her, he begs for her to take the DNA test, but again, she refuses, well, he puts his foot down and says he will not agree to a divorce unless she takes the test, and then they argue about Valeria (yawn). I like Cris, I like Aldi, I do not think they should be together. I also should add, that I feel really badly for Cris who always sounds like he's on the verge of tears.
Two witches go shopping:
Val and Pru are on their trip in Huston, while there Candela calls Vale to tell her she's needed in Santa Lucia, Cristobal needs someone to comfort him and Aldonza is no longer a threat, Val looks like Christmas came early, she asks what's going on, she wants details but Candela refuses to tell her anything over the phone. Once the call ends Val tells her mom something important just went down, both of these wenches seem to believe that Cris will end up getting married toHoney Boo BooValeria, and they make plans to go look at wedding gowns. *Ahem* when a guy dumps you for a girl he barely spent three days with don't you think you should just give it up? Can we get her a copy of "He's just not that into you?".

I looked forward to watching this all day and I was not disappointed.
HilMare is a delightful troublemaking addition to the story. I can't wait for Rocio so slap the Beto, Betito, Betote right out of her!
Francis and her minions of evil accost Carmen and Hilda Mecha (HilMare ™Marta.) Francis makes snide comments about their fashion sense and HilMare is all "come at me bro." (I highly recommend you do a google image search of that phrase. There are some hilarious picutres.) Francis backs up. hahaha! Her minions look a little happy to see someone stand up to her. Carmen and HilMare get in the RancheritaMobile and leave. Francis starts screaming about the plague infesting the university.
Facundo came home to look for some papers. Maria catches him and tries to convince him to stay and eat some pork dish with verdolagas. He turns down her invitation, but she still wants to talk to him. She asks if he knows why Santi fired Esteban. When Fac says he doesn't, she tells him it had to do with Isa. She explains that she just saw Esteban giving Isa a huge kiss and that Isa slapped him.

Parte 1~~
Finally,
Macaria has managed to get one (well, actually at least four) over on Fausto with
all her anonymous notes floating around town, and Viewerville shares a communal
sigh of relief. Mateo reads her
anonymous note stating that the baker in Diana’s double your fun bun factory
was really Fausto. Mat races out the
door in a mad dash as Mac snickers at the fireworks she’s set in motion.
Meanwhile,
at Pablo’s grave site, Abigail clarifies to Renata that she believes Renata
would never have left her side nor allowed Macaria or anyone else to treat her so
roughly while she was growing up if she’d truly been Renata and Pablo’s
daughter.

Lo Imperdonable #10 Fri 5/29/15 In Which Venom Is Spewed And Veronica and Magdalena Are Codemned
CASA PRADO CASTELO
Outside
Veronica wraps her arms around Martin's arm and tells her future husband that she has no doubt now that she's in love with him. Martin sees this as a red flag and release his arm from her grasp and gives her this "if looks could kill" face behind her back. He tells her that he doesn't get her - just yesterday she was telling him she needed time and now she tells him she's sooo in love with him and wants to get married. Does she really want it? he asks her. Of course she'd get married to him and if it were up to her it would be right then and there. She realizes that he's become serious and asks him why he has gotten so serious. Is he sure that what she told him about her parents doesn't bother him? Of course he's not bothered by it. She wants him to be honest - if he's not sure about marrying her then she wants him to tell her. She tells him that she'd understand. He tells her that of course he wants to marry her - now more than ever and as soon as possible.
Study
Emi wants Jorge to tell him what he talked about with Martin. He lets Jorge know that he told Veronica that he wanted nothing to do with her. Jorge thinks Emi is going to the extremes because Veronica rejected him once. "In business like in life you have to have patience" Jorge tells Emi. Jorge lets Emi know he didn't accept Martin's offer because it would mean the family would have a commitment with him and it would things for Emi with Veronica. Emi serves himself a drink and tells Jorge he should accept Martin's offer - at least it would save the company from a crisis. Emi tells Jorge he's no longer interested in Veronica because she's a fake and liar. Jorge snatches the drink from Emi's hand and tells him that he won't allow him to speak like that about Veronica. Emi tells Jorge that now he knows that Veronica and Demetrio slept together at Casa Prado Castelo. Jorge is aghast and can't believe this. Emi tells Jorge that Virginia herself saw Veronica with Demetrio on various occasions. Jorge can't believe this about Veronica who has always respected their home. Jorge is determined to go and speak with Virginia despite Emi telling him its not necessary and that Virginia isn't feeling well. Just then the door opens and Virginia walks into the room. Jorge wants Virginia to tell him all about Demetrio.

Weekend Discussion: Have the Writers Declared a Competition on Perversity?
I had to post this right after this
evening's episode of La Sombra del Pasado because I was
ready to explode at Severiano slobbering all over Aldonza. I was
actually screaming at the screen and I never do that. I've seen a
lot of nasty horror movies and was beginning to become immune to some
of the evil and gore in them. However, rape trauma is still
something that makes my blood boil.

La Sombra del Pasado #74 5-29-15 In Which we are made to feel Dirty or Satan Slimes Again
Let’s jump right in.
Adelina attempts to counsel Aldonza that she should forgive Cris as Vale
means nothing to him. Aldonza thinks
Adelina doesn’t understand anything about the situation and refuses to talk
about it. Adelina presses on, asking
when Aldonza is going to take the DNA test.
NUNCA and it’s best she drop that subject too. Adelina brings up Aldonza’s failed pitch to
Hum to let her buy El Santuario and all its environs. Adelina thinks it was dumb. Aldonza doesn’t understand why Hum wouldn’t
sell it when ES means nothing to him and she doesn’t understand either why her
mother would sell it to Hum knowing that he and Sev were thick as thieves. Adelina reminds her of the dire financial
straits that forced that decision.
Aldonza thinks Roberta would turn over in her grave if she knew all the
things that had happened on their beloved land.
Adelina adds that HER FATHER would too!
Aldonza does not react to this but lights up with the thought that she’s
going to turn everything around and make the huerto productive again! Golly Gee, just wait and see, Tia! Tia thinks she’s naïve, Aldonza thinks in
time she will convince Hum to sell. Tia
leaves and Aldonza basks in a self-satisfied smile.
Satan and his Slut argue about Cris’s demand that, as his
daughter, Aldonza be given ES. Cande
thinks Sev should’ve lied and made Cris think he was going to give it to
her. After a year passed they could
always think of another lie to cover his failure to cede her the property. Sev blows up:
he’s tired of her stupid ideas and he’s done caving in. He’s not giving up anything to that stupid
Aldonza or that “quack” cousin of hers!

amores con trampa #45 Facundo puts his foot down... and brings back to the board a player that could end up being a nightmare to more than just Beto and Rocio
First of all, thank you Jarifa for such great detailed
recaps! I confess I have not commented but I have watched pretty much all of it
and I agree with all of you… what in the world is Facundo doing acting like
that to Maria and being the hypocrite with Isa… but then someone must have
found a magic herb because there are a lot of hypocrites in that neighborhood,
aren’t there?
Ok, back to the story.
Refritos:
Isa with Frederick… talking about his significant other…
which he knew over the internet (danger, will Robinson!!) He says you are no one to talk… you are
playing around with Facundo… let me know when you figure out how you are going
to untangle that mess…
Perpetua calls Facundo at the office, and he walks out to
get tangled in the reception area with Estefany.
Maria and the kids are getting into the taxi. Isa is amazed that Maria is indeed leaving
with the kids. Perpetua gets in the passenger seat of the taxi.
Here comes Facundo in his big black truck to stop the taxi
and block its way. Maria yells at the taxi driver not to stop but to no avail.
Facundo jumps on the taxi hood and windshield and starts yelling at Maria
asking where she is taking MY kids!!
Francis and her sidekick shadow girls meet at school. Seems
the shadowgirls suggest to Francis to enter the ‘queen of the university’
contest. Francis at first thinks it is too far below her to compete in that.
But the girls convince her ‘just think when they crown you in front of
everyone!’.
Facundo keeps yelling at Maria asking why she is taking the
kids… Isa keeps telling herself ‘how can’t Facundo realize how much I love him
and how much I need him !!!’
The taxi driver starts to pray out loud. Facundo yells at
him to go pray somewhere else.
Maria says she was heading back to the country. She does not want the kids to stay here. Beto asks what about Yoya and me?? Maria confesses she doesn’t know what to do
anymore. Facundo acts offended that she
was about to leave with the younger kids without even letting him know. Maria whines that lately he treats her so
bad, doesn’t even look at her… Facundo suggests they go inside to talk… there
are too many gossipy birds around…
At university, Francis finds Yoya registering for the queen
of the uni contest… Yoya asks Francis what SHE is doing there… is it perhaps
she also plans to compete for the queen of the uni title??
Back in the Carmona house… Facundo asks Maria a favor… a
tiny bitty favor… never again try to take my kids away… She asks the same of
him. They are whispering, something that
Santee and Isa never do. Maria says
that she never thought Facundo would inspire fear in her… never. He leaves quietly.

Lo Imperdonable #9 Thu 5/28/15 Crazy kids, already talking about marriage and they didn't even have "breakfast" together, yet
Filling in for Gloria today, I hope the recap makes sense, I did it on the run.
In
Mina Escondida
Mariana
and Pablo arrive in the village on a boat. They didn’t top by the hotel,
because Pablo wanted to know the surroundings as soon as possible. Mariana
thought that it would be a good idea, but now she hates the mosquitoes and the
unsteady boat. She wants to get back to the fancy French hotel ASAP – Pablo can
explore on his own.
He
asks her to stay with him, but she won’t hear of it.
This
is Mariana’s first mistake, because who does Pablo run into in the village? Ana
Perla, of course! She’s with some kids in front of the church, after Sunday
School (or something). The Abuelo didn’t even want to allow her to do that,
worried that some of the boys in the class would be old enough to seduce her.(Oh please!)
Anyway,
Pablo sees Ana Perla, Ana Perla sees Pablo and it’s love at first sight, slow
motion breezy atmosphere included. She covers her head with her shawl, looking
like a Virgin Mary, I presume, all innocence and candor. He’s so taken, he
wants to go talk to her, but Abuelo and Manuel show up, see what is going on
and interfere. Abuelo drags Ana Perla home and Manuel goes after the stranger,
to warn him that he needs to leave the village immediately, because he’s not
welcomed.
He’s
clearly looking for a fight, but Pablo is not impressed. He explains that he is
a painter, who only came to find inspiration for his work and Manuel’s threats
don’t scare him one bit. Manuel loses this round, but this is only the
beginning for these two.
Later,
while drawing, Pablo remembers Ana Perla and her perfect name (that he
overheard). In the meantime Abuelo warns Ana Perla to stay away from the new
guy, because he can only mean trouble. She already looks half in love, so let’s
see how that works out.
Manuel
ambushes Magdalena on the street to let her know that, while drunk, Botel told
him that she’s married and she abandoned her daughter and husband to be with
him. So if she ever gets herself involved in his affairs again, he will tell
the whole village the type of bad seed that she is.
In
Mexico
First comes love, then comes instant marriage?
Veronica
and Martin are at the restaurant, kissing for the first time. He asks her if
she’s capable of love, because many women just pretend. Well, Vero would never
do that, and he shouldn’t suppose that ALL women are the same, just because he
met some bad ones. After all, some men are shameless, too, that doesn’t mean
that she won’t trust him. So, how about they carry on with what they’re doing
and let time decide for them?

Que Te Perdone Dios #92 – The Postman Always Sends “Anónimos” Twice, That Is, If Macaria Had to Eat the First One
Refry: Diana can breathe again, after Fausto’s attempt on
her life in the hospital room. Fausto is all smiles at the foot of her bed.
Dr. Pat is sporting a nice shiner, and doesn’t want to talk
to Fausto, who wants to proclaim his innocence. It doesn’t matter anyway,
because no amount of beatings will keep Pat and Ren apart, they love each
other.
New: Barragan is questioning Lucio in his office, making
very, very sure about the date of Pablo’s death, without telling Lucio that
therefore the killer could not possibly be Don Bruno. Lucio insists, even
invokes his scar, and signs his declaration. Just when he thinks the coast is
clear, Barragan produces one of the ubiquitous “anónimos,” the anonymous, hand-crafted
letter by painstaking letter, documents that Mac has been making. This is the
one about Padre Francisco, and Barragan points out that Lucio was the last one
to see him alive. Lucio begins to squirm, and has the gall to ask, “Who would
want to hurt him?” Barragan gets all Perry Mason, strolling away and then
whirling around with ANOTHER anónimo, about Freddy! Lucio does not burst into
flames as he denies any and all knowledge or involvement in any of the crimes.
Simona is visiting Ela, of Xi-ela, suffering about the
Freddy letter. Ela comforts her, saying it most likely is a lie. But if it is
true, says, Simona, she just wants that desgraciado in front of her to let him
know how much pain he caused. Just as I’m thinking “cue Lucio,” there’s a knock
at the door. But it’s Don Fausto! He is the intellectual author, after all, so
I stand corrected. He walks in to the sound of panting sheep dog background
music.

La Sombra del Pasado #73 5/28/15 I am weary. Let me rest.
I'm out of recapper juice, this show is killing me and I'm ready to cross that river. Hence the title...inspired by this bluegrass tune.
It's gonna be crap y'all. All over the place, condensed all to hell and missing large chunks of action and the drama. I didn't take notes and I only half watched it again for recapping purposes. It really wasn't that bad. Maybe it was just me. Just seemed dull.
I've arranged it by plot thread. Sort of.
The DNA plot Thread
Padre J demands that Sev submit to DNA testing against Cris, Aldonza AND Emanuel. Padre explains to Cande that he has a suspicion that Emanuel is the child of Roberta and Sev. Sev absolutely refuses to submit a sample. Padre is surprised. He would think Sev would want to clear things up. Sev continues his protest. Emanuel is not his son. He told Padre that that child was a still born girl. The two get into one holy (or unholy) shouting match, which brings Cris down the stairs to investigate. He's all for a test. Sev finally succeeds in getting the Padre to leave. More and more Cris is convinced his parents made up the whole sibling thing. Sev tells him to go ahead and marry Aldonza then. Cris realizes his mother never intended to help him. Cris asks Hum about how to do a DNA test. Hum takes offense. He's not going to help Cris with this. Val's happiness is at stake. (Hey, Hum...happiness is a choice.)

Padre J demands that Sev submit to DNA testing against Cris, Aldonza AND Emanuel. Padre explains to Cande that he has a suspicion that Emanuel is the child of Roberta and Sev. Sev absolutely refuses to submit a sample. Padre is surprised. He would think Sev would want to clear things up. Sev continues his protest. Emanuel is not his son. He told Padre that that child was a still born girl. The two get into one holy (or unholy) shouting match, which brings Cris down the stairs to investigate. He's all for a test. Sev finally succeeds in getting the Padre to leave. More and more Cris is convinced his parents made up the whole sibling thing. Sev tells him to go ahead and marry Aldonza then. Cris realizes his mother never intended to help him. Cris asks Hum about how to do a DNA test. Hum takes offense. He's not going to help Cris with this. Val's happiness is at stake. (Hey, Hum...happiness is a choice.)

Que Te Perdone Dios 91: Highlights
by Anonymous Anon207 and Aunty Ann
Connie told Renata that if she & Fausto adopt Abi, Fausto could take control of the ranches through Abi (I think). She also told Renata she wishes she could see so she could see what a terrible person Fausto is.
Simona showed Barragan the poison pen letter she got about Fredy's death.
Fausto told Julio he wanted 50% of his profits or else.
Diana told Fausto she knew all about Mateo being his son and Fausto locked the door and tried to kill Diana until the nurse showed up.
Julio visited Diana and asked Diana if she had any tea to blackmail Fausto with and she said no, and that he needs to be careful since he's on the run from the law.
Abi lines, Mateo lines
Lucio told Max to shut his pie hole or he could catch a bullet too (I think)
Padre Tomas was feeling like a fool for believing Fausto & Lucio
Renata asked Patricio to operate on her again. Twin showed up (I think Angel Wings) and Renata found out about Patricio getting a beat down. He told her Fausto ordered the men to beat him up.
Ren asked Pat to operate on her, but to keep it a secret. Not even Mateo will know. Pat used the excuse that he wants to study Ren's case to get his hands on her records, and Mateo agreed, but asked Pat to help convince his aunt to have another operation. Of course Mateo has no idea that she has already asked Pat to perform the operation.
Renata told Abi about the Patricio beat down and blasted Fausto for it.
Fausto went to Lucio and asked him to investigate who beat up Patricio & blamed Fausto for it.
Also, Barragan interrogated Lucio and then showed him another poison pen letter (which I don't think was the same as Simona's letter).
Barragan and Padre Tomas were talking about the poison pens letters floating around town and Tomas was upset the letter writer just didn't come forth and denounce the criminals in person and I want to say Barragan wanted Tomas to come forth with what he knew but Tomas couldn't because it was under confessional rules.

Lo Imperdonable #8 Wed 5/27/15 “Hearts Run the Gamut Once Again – from Aggressive Dueling to First Tender Kiss”
(Some scenes are combined)
Back to Martin and Vero engaged in a fencing duel with real
swords and no faceguards. He promptly overpowers
her, knocks the sword out of her hand, and holds the tip of his own sword to
her neck, thinking to himself he could just end her life right there and then. As Vero stumbles and falls, he moves closer, with
the tip of his sword still hovering over her neck. Any normal person would see the insane look
in his eyes and get the hell away from him…forever. But not Vero, that’s not her style. If anything, her love for him just grew
ten-fold, because he didn’t pull any punches and “opened her eyes” about the
limits of her strength, unlike the rest of her male fencing opponents.
Magdalena, alone with her
memories, mumbles to her lost daughter that she will never forgive herself for
abandoning her. NanC arrives to deliver
some fruits. Magdalena
wishes she could cure her aching soul with NanC’s herbs, but knows they only cure
physical maladies and that her pain will only be cured when she finds her
daughter. She wishes NanC could foresee
her future, but all NanC can see is more tears in her life.
As an apology for his crazy behavior, Martin invites all the
gang out for drinks that evening. Vero
readily accepts, but only if it’s to toast his victory. Cunning Virginia plays matchmaker and tells Martin he
only has to apologize to Vero, so he should just take Vero out. Meanwhile, Emi is still fuming about Martin’s
ungentlemanly behavior, so Vero tells him to just calm down and get over
it. (Translation - she is a grown woman
and doesn’t need Emi-niño watching her back.)….Later, Emi gets a chance to confront
Martin and warns Martin he will have to answer to him if he ever dares to hurt
Vero….Martin thinks some women pretend to be weaker than they really are. Emi has no doubt that Vero is strong, and
with a firm character, but a woman nonetheless.
Martin acknowledges he got carried away but does not want to ruin his
friendship with Emi. Emi makes it clear
that Martin ruined it when he came between him and Vero, the woman he loves. Now Emi doubts they can ever be friends
again, but Martin convinces him they should just follow the rules, like in
fencing, and may the best man win with Vero.
(Emi, dude, don’t even waste your time.
You already lost the battle and the war.)

La Sombra del Pasado #72 Oh Sweet Baby Chihuahuas The Dumbassery Just Keeps Coming!
As always, I start with the new and do some combining and condensing.
Lo Nuevo
Emanuel goes to El Santuario to see Aldonza. Lola is there. Cue the theme music. You can tell the spark is still there even if the two of them have their heads too far up their ass to see it and quit playing mind games (thanks for the new toy, hellashelle!) Eman explains that he found out about the break up from Cris. Cris is not doing well. He went and got drunk. Lola tells Eman that Aldonza is asleep and it's probably not a good idea for Eman to see her right now. Adelina comes in with Joaquin as Eman gets ready to leave. Eman and Joaquin decide to ride home together. Joaquin and Adelina say goodbye. Sparks fly between Adelina and Joaquin as well. After Lola explains Eman was there to see Aldonza, Adelina remarks that she's sure that half the town knows the news by now. Lola is worried that Valeria is GOING to take advantage. Little does she know that the advantage has already been took.
