Me Declaro Culpable #55, 5/4/2020: Time To Wrap This Mess Up!
We start with a reminder of Tizzy and Bertie's latest murderous pact. Roberta eggs him on by promising to be a passionate, committed lover once he takes care of Alba's assassination in jail. And together they happily propose a toast to that grisly prospect. Our gruesome twosome are well matched, don't you think?

Me Declaro Culpable #53, 4/30/20: Just another day on the crazy train!
- Mauro goes to the Turquoise House of Horrors and Skankiness and tells Gabe he is invited to come live with him. Bianca is in the background, shaking her head a big ole YES! Gabe hasn't had enough chemo to have the dreaded "chemo brain" , so he totally agrees to do that. He does not trust Ingy. Ingrid tried to guilt trip him on staying, Mauro called her on that, and I had to mute the TV to shut her up.
- Alba's day in court. First, did I miss something? She and Franco are acting like they have kissed and made up. Seriously, did I miss something? But I digress. Gael is there, too, and he has done his homework. He has Javier's attending nurse on the witness stand, with a timeline. Alba checked in at 11:43 to see Javier. Shortly after, she ran down to the nurse's station all freaking out, because she had unplugged Javi and plugged him back in. Expert witness said the alarms did not sound because the equipment had been unplugged for thirty seconds, not long enough for alarms to ring.

Me Declaro Culpable #51, 4/28/20: Meanwhile, Back at the...Other Place Where Everybody's Screaming
The Victims
We open where we closed yesterday, with Alba scuttling around in the middle of the post-traumatic street like a particularly shrill windup toy, but soon enough we find ourselves back at Aqua House for the world's worst soiree. Both women are completely verklempt, but Alba has the marginally cooler date: while Franco burps out empty promises and "tranquilates," Mauro just hulks on the couch like a superannuated garden gnome.
Ding-dong! If you haven't watched yet, be sure to be looking right at Franco when Julieta arrives and Alba announces, "This is the woman my son loves!" High point of the entire season, I promise.
The Perps
Gabe, trussed up and blindfolded on a nasty mattress, is the only resident of Alternate Mexico City to wonder why anyone would want to kidnap him.
Gabe: There must be a mistake! We don't have any money!
Thug 1: No kidding. You're dressed worse than us.
Gabe explains the side-effects of chemotherapy, goes green around the gills and threatens to vomit, causing Thug 1 to run away in a panic. He signed up for kidnapping and false imprisonment, not a yorking teenybopper with a fatal disease. Guess he shoulda read the fine print.

Me Declaro Culpable #50, 4/27/20: Just About Everybody Has a No Good, Very Bad Day
Paolo's Really Really Sad Apartment
We begin with our depressing duo: Natalia and Paolo. She's still waxing poetic about how much she loves him, and he's all minor chords as in "Yeah you changed my life too. FOR WORSE! First you broke my body. And then you broke my heart!" This earns him a string of perdonames, and when that doesn't fly, she calls the police station, confesses to her crime and turns herself in. In no time at all, the cops are there, handcuff her and haul her off, while Soggy Paolo cries some more. All I can think of is--if these two ever get back together again and their kids one day ask "Hey Dad, how did you and Mom ever meet?" Do you suppose they'll get the real story?

Me Declaro Culpable #46, 4/21/20: Everybody's Running, But Nobody's Getting Anywhere
Paolo crawls and bawls. Natalia sobs and snivels. Roberta tells Franco if he doesn't do something about Paolo, she'll call the police. He tells her if she doesn't shut up, HE'LL call the police. Julian plays almost-dead. The padre looks everywhere but up.
Franco drags Paolo out into the waiting room and tells him it's very sad, but we can't fix everyone's lives for them. Based on literally everything we know about him, this is clearly a case of "do as I say, not as I do." He finally persuades Paolo to go cry somewhere else.
Roberta marches out of Julian's room and tells Franco everyone is waiting. He says they can wait longer. She tells him the padre has to leave. He says offer him overtime. She promises to take a wedding picture for him and marches back in again.
Franco drags Natalia out into the waiting room and tells her she's a grown woman, then proceeds to treat her like a two-year-old. I guess he's both good cop and bad cop. Apparently it works, because he returns to the room and coolly announces that Nati has left the building.
And Julian still doesn't move a muscle. What if he really is dead? Wouldn't that be funny?

Me Declaro Culpable #45, 4/20/20: Another Hot Mess of an Episode
In a nutshell, Bertie and Tiz tighten the screws on Papi Mauro. Ingrid and Julian get busy in his hospital room. Natalia has a passionate night with Paolo as a way of "saying good-bye". Gael learns he's going to be-- not a dad but a lawyer who helps place his baby for adoption. And Alba finds out Franco is off her case and her son has leukemia.
I'm tempted to leave it right there. And maybe you are too. But for those who want more detail, buckle up. And suck it up. 'Cause here we go.

Me Declaro Culpable #43, 4/16/20: Roberta gets help
Natalia is having flashbacks to the semi nice things that Julian did for her- she forgets the part where he drugged her drink in an attempt to date rape her and in turn caused her to run over Paolo causing him to become paralyzed. Minor details.
Gabriel: I hate recapping his scenes cause he annoys me. Anyways, Gabe is sad because he has leukemia and is angry that Ingrid hid this from him. Does he have leukemia or are his symptoms due to the drugs that Ingrid has been sneaking in his food? If his dad had leukemia then why did he have memory loss as one of his symptoms? Someone explain this to me! I diagnose this telenovela with a case of bad writing. I don't think it will make a full recovery #thoughtsandprayers.
