Caray, Caray!

 ALOHA, Caraymates!!

I wish I could tell you I'm in Hawaii, but nopis! Still here at my ranchito tending to my animalitos...no leeway for vacations, weekends, days off, etc., etc., etc...

I've been asked about the "Coming Soon..." pages, so I want to address that here. I don't have much time to do more than an occasional recap, comments, or monitoring of the blog; so I will not be creating/posting summaries of the upcoming telenovelas. BUT I do want to encourage and welcome anyone who would like to take over that duty :-)

Norway Chess Finals had me go to bed later than usual. (I'm a chess freak.) Ju Wenjun won the Women's and Magnus Carlsen the Open. Congratulations!

Back to the telenovela:

Gin is trying to calm Mauro down. She says they have to play defensively, the game isn't over.

Felipa keeps playing the blame game with Nandy: she is separating Kenzo from his beloved kids and hurting him in the process.

Esteban and Humberto pretend talk about Paz still hating Esteban. As soon as the phone gets inside the chips bag, Esteban tells his cousin the truth about him and Paz still being in luuv. Humbie is disappointed for a while but tells Esteban how Gin managed to put a tracker on him: by injecting it in his blood. They need to freeze him in order to remove it. Esteban manages to wrap his head around it, even if Humbie is not very reassuring, because getting his temperature as low as possible might deactivate the tracker, but it might also kill him in the process.

Esteban joined the demonstration where he met up with Paz and got her to shut off her cell phone. He told her that Ginebra was a killer. He had to talk to her but she hesitated to believe him. Ginebra noticed the loss of connexion and slammed the laptop shut. Esteban told Paz he loved her, which she did not believe. As the women around them shouted for Justice they looked to leave the crowd. Ginebra, swearing that Esteban will pay dearly, called Mauro to order him to so something about this immediately. She then tried calling Esteban but only got his voicemail. She did not leave a message but said to herself “You are mine, Esteban. Mine. I will not let you forget that.”

Yup, Filipa spent the whole weekend in Humberto's bathroom and pops out full of pep, merry widow and all. Hum, having finally internalized that Paz and Esteban are endgame, decides to stop waffling and see how much (information) he can get out of her. As she keeps saying, they're both adults, right? In the biological sense, anyway.

Beat-up Bosco remarks to beat-up Pepa that the clothes he lent him are weird and super-baggy. Pepa gets a shifty look and says they belonged to...an amigo. (Not sure who he's referring to -- his Dad? Pre-Nandi?  A "special friend"? I guess we'll know when we know.) 

Suddenly the Robles start pouring in and things get wild.

Paz wants a few days off because she found her daughter and mentions sending her mother instead if it's needed. Esteban of course says yes and does the very wrong move of telling Paz he wants them to be friends; she screams there's no "them" and hangs up.

Bosco and Pepa have a discussion of their mutual trauma. Pepa says he thinks they should move past this and continue with their life like they want to. They both admire the tree Pepa has painted.

Paz snaps, slapping Humberto and shouting about no means no and you can't go around kissing ladies without their permission. He takes it well, apologizing immediately and promising to hereafter hang his hat firmly in the friend zone. The contrast between his gentlemanly sincerity and the memory of Esteban banging Fermin's head on the table like an underperforming bowling ball gives one pause, but everyone knows you can't choose your soulmate -- that's the scriptwriters' job! -- and hell, we're all under a lot of stress.

Before Bosco can act on his decision to proceed against Gio, Castro arrives with a couple of flunkies to arrest him. (How did she beat him to it? Doesn't Ginebra still have her by the cheeks?) It's a good thing the Only Police Station in Mexico City is so close to Esteban's house. Or maybe they moved it there, since that's where all the action is.  

Up on the roof, Gala tells Salo she and Jero are kaputski. He gleefully takes this opportunity to declare his love in the most loving, caring, supportive, patient, non-Jero way possible. She reciprocates. Kiss-kiss, cue the bubble-gum song.

Bosco goes to find Pepa and confesses to him what happened with Gio and that she says that he was the attacker. He doesn’t want anyone else to know, because who will believe that a man was abused?

Gio arrives home, Jeronimo has been waiting for her, they’ve been in cahoots all this time. He’s upset because he couldn’t sleep with Gala, but he wants her to suffer long and hard because of her health problems.

This episode could have an alternative title of "What where they expecting?"

We begin with Gin telling Esteban to call Paz and read this card she wrote to her.

Pepa has finished making the website (Wordpress, I assume?). Humb talks to Paz about placing the "se busca" signs in key parts of the town when...

Esteban calls Paz to read her the card Gin has written for him. Paz's fam urges her not to pick up, but she does. Esteban tells her her daughter María appeared!! Paz of course decides to go to the wedding. What's really weird about the whole María business is that there's literally no way to know which child she is, since she was stolen hours after her birth, so all these "se busca" cards with pictures... What's up with that? For all they know María could be a completely different kid. But I digress again...
