Caray, Caray!

The Deconstruction Company

Elisa summons an eager Leo to her office, then flits around in her little hanky dress closing all the blinds. Alas for him, she plans to desecrate not the desk but his common sense. She repeats Majo's assertion that it was Cobra who ordered Marcelo's murder, then concludes that this lets Tio off the hook! Leo quickly progresses through the five stages of dealing with an airhead -- shock, disappointment, frustration, indulgence, and wishing he were somewhere else -- and finally comes up with an idea: Why don't we get Majo to lure him into a trap...?

Suddenly Fab blunders in without knocking and gives Leo the stink-eye. Elisa tries to get all girlboss and put him off until later, but he insists he has Very Important Papers. Leo takes his leave, and Elisa signs all the forms without reading them, because it's Telenovela Law. Fab assures her that transferring the galleries to an offshore shell company will totally solve all their problems. Then he sternly reminds her that Leo can't be trusted and she needs to slap him with a rolled-up newspaper every time he steps on the good carpet.

Majo and Clara's Glamping Chamber  

Now that they're slumber-party besties, Majo needs Clara to do her a favor: get her a pistol. Que que que? Where's she going to hide it in those ratty clothes? 

But Clara comes through, somehow persuading Leslie to nick one from her dad. Majo sticks it into her purse and makes a booty call to Dario. Gee, what could possibly go wrong?

Another Thursday Night production from RGV and Kirbo

The black sticky evil which is Dario and Ewww has finally ooozed all the way to Victoria. Like in some cheap horror movie where the living tar-like stuff comes in under doors, and through cracks and devours everything it touches.

Vic is still wettin’ her pants in the car with Scario. She asks “What are you going to do? Kill us? We don’t have what you want! Leave my family in peace!”

At Adri’s apartment, Leo and E-lies-a are cuddling and smooching. After they say their “I love yous” E-lies-a can’t stop thinking about how Leo keeps attacking her family. Leo asks her to just spit it out, he’s listening. E-lies-a wonders how Leo would feel if she turned the tables on him and started targeting his brother. Tapia was his brother’s boss, after all, and JL took direct orders from him…so JLuis might also be involved. Leo points out that his brother had several confrontations with his boss and he was even suspended. E-lies-a defends her uncle who has always been there for them…and saved her family’s company from bankruptcy (Puke! Puke! Barf!). Leo wonders if Ewww did it to cover up his illicit businesses, so E-lies-a turns it around once again and asks if his brother might have helped them to cover his own back. Leo reminds her that his bro risked his life to save her sister and wonders why she would want to associate him with Tapia. E-lies-a just wants Leo to understand her and put himself in her place. She sees that Leo is upset and points out that this is how he makes her feel when he attacks her family. Leo must think: Talk talk, you are thinking T-Mobile, I'm thinking Matress firm.

 We’re back at the cemetery, where Leo is threatening Ewwgenio with jail for all of his crimes. He mentions Sonia, too, the way she disappeared before he could talk to her. Fab defends his daddy and everybody has to jump in to break them apart.

Elisa is mad at Leo, his behavior will only drive her away, is that what he wants? Leo is upset, too, what is he supposed to do, pretend that everything is OK? It’s his duty to investigate, search for the truth, wherever it may lead. Elisa wants him to stop accusing her family, they already hate him and are making her life impossible.

⦁ Leonardo is on an investigative roll.  He tells his mopey, doe-eyed Elisa straight out that he's not blaming anybody in particular at this point, but he's going to investigate the leads he has and let the chips fall where they may.  (Viewerville knows even if El refuses to accept it, that that must mean Tio Eugenio, especially where Sofia is concerned.)  In particular, Leo's going to be investigating Gilberto [Tapia], Jose Luis's boss.  He seems to be up to his neck in coverups these days, according to Leo.  And, he's been putting the brakes on every aspect of this case any chance he gets.  Tapia was the one who ordered Marcelo's death.  Why?  Well, because of all the money involved...lots of money...dirty money.  She fears for his safety.  He fears he'll never see her smiling and cheerful.  (Say, has she ever been cheerful or smiling since he's known her?)   He mentions now he's been getting the evil eye from Victoria and Fabricio since he arrived and so he'd better go before they cause a scene.  She pooches her mouth, even more, to re-emphasize there is absolutely nothing between her and the Curly-Locks Kid.  If there isn't, he surmises aloud, then why feel the need to bring it up?  Because you do, dude--every chance you get!

Please forgive that this is just the facts; no sleep for the last week. Maybe some booze will help. – Dashiell Hammett

Elisa told Leo about spending the night with Renata in her hospital room. He told her about Marcelo's death and the belief that he committed suicide. Further, that Eugenio took Sonia out of the hospital and that now there was no way of corroborating Marcelo's statements about Eugenio's possible involvement in Augusto's murder. Elisa still refused to believe that Eugenio could do this. She thought that he had taken Sonia home for her own benefit.

The Reclusorio of the Open Door

The jailhouse thugs stroll into Marcelo's cell with a present for him: FaceTime with his nearest and dearest, which in this case means Eugenio gets to threaten Sonia in front of him, and then Sonia gets to watch the thugs beat him up. Talk about a bad connection. 

Eu tells him to retract his statement in the morning or things will get way worse, which Marcelo believes, because they always do. 

Adriana's House of the Revolving Door

The Three Musketeers are lolling around discussing their completely unauthorized case, but Leo's clearly not into it. His two sidekicks urge him to call Elisa and patch things up, because love is...and he deserves...frankly I stopped paying attention at this point because I was too busy marveling over the fact that he was taking romantic advice from two people who have never had a successful date in their entire lives, with each other or anyone else. Anyway, he calls her, but she's not very receptive (probably because Fernanda is dribbling a steady stream of distrust into her guisqui.)

Victoria's Home for Wayward Girls

Vic makes a stately descent of the Staircase of Doom in a flattering and age-appropriate black & white dress that she will probably be allowed to wear for about two minutes before wardrobe sticks her back into the potbelly pants. (Why do they hate her? Because she got herself a real hair stylist?) She waxes nostalgic about how nice it is to see Elisa & Fer together, just like when they were little tykes. Then she gets maudlin about Augusto and asks Elisa to produce a greeting-card sentiment about their marriage, which she obligingly does. 

But that's not enough. She pointedly asks Fernanda if she thinks her husband really loved her, or was he betraying her? Fernanda goes into a catatonic state and plays back a memory in which she demanded that Augusto leave his wife or no more cookies. Well, that puts a different complexion on things, doesn't it?

Not my best effort, but these characters are just the worst! I hope you enjoy it!  

Dario asks Majo to admit that she loves him. If she doesn’t, than just go and they will never be together again. She turns to leave, he gets up and we can see he's bleeding through his hospital gown. He falls on an armchair, Majo ends up saying that she does love him.

Leo arrives at the hospital, asks Mario to guard the front entry, while he goes to confront Cobra. He finds Dario with Majo, asks her to go outside. Dario tries to negotiate, says they have a common enemy, but Leo doesn’t listen (he should!) Tadeo, Dario’s accomplice comes up from behind and threatens Leo with a gun, hits him and leaves him unconscious. Dario, Tadeo and Majo flee the hospital room. They run into Mario, who tries to shot Dario, but Majo gets in between. Tadoe tries to shot at Mario, the cop finally has no other choice but to drop his gun and let them go.

He finds Leo in the hospital room, tells him that Majo left willingly. The precinct has been alerted, Leo decides to tell Elisa.

Leonardo is having it out with Elisa over her not telling him about the trip to N.Y. C.  Oh, it was just business as usual.  He's more pissed that she went with Curly Locks, aka Fabulous Fabricio, than that she didn't bother to call and let him know at all.  He was really worried.  Really worried!!  She knew he was in Acapulco and it was only for a really short time so she's there to say hi.  Riiiiiiight.

Conflict is never pretty, no matter who is taking part. Words are usually stronger weapons than guns or knives. The combination, though, is often deadly in the worst way. – Dashiell Hammett

Renata and Victoria had a nasty argument with Victoria hurling her usual sarcastic insults. Such as asking “Where are you and the baby going to live, in the cell with Marcelo?” They struggled at the top of the stairs with a predictable result: Renata ended up tumbling down to the marble floor at the foot of the stairs. Victoria and Maria José ran down to her. She was conscious. Victoria shouted to the maid to call for an ambulance. Renata told them to get Marcelo. She had forgotten that he was in the slammer.

She did remember to yell at her mother not to touch her. She would not move, saying she didn't want to lose her baby. Maria José gave her mother a hard look.Read more »
