Amar Sin Limites #50 Tuesday 9/25/07
Opening scene: same as Monday's closing scene, where GSD is trying to get Azul to tell him how she felt before she fainted. She wants to go home, but Mo won't let her drive, so GSD offers to take her. Then we get a repeat of Mo's talk with Leo regarding Azul's rapid decline and Leo's inability to control Andres.
Then we get a second look at the talk/kiss between Ceci and Andres, and Leo's reaction to it.
Jacinto brings Leo's yogurt to the maid (Chonita), who thanks him and tells him how nasty Leonarda is. Jacinto confirms that Leo is the only one in the house who eats yogurt. Synthesizers of doom remind us that the yogurt will be Leonarda's downfall. Chonita seems to be smitten with Jacinto.
Efrain goes to Isela's bar looking for Diego and tells her that he thinks that the people who Diego works for are behind Paco's disappearance, and he wants to talk to Diego before something happens to him. Isela is impactada, she can't sleep because she's worried about Paco, and now Diego could be in danger! Silvana is in the background listening to every word.
Diego's still wearing the lovely pink sweater when he goes searching for Ivan. It's hard to look tough when you look the Energizer bunny! Ivan's men tell him that Diego is outside, and does her order not to let him in still stand... she tells him that it does, so Ivan's boys tell Diego that she's very busy and can't see her now. The bunny stomps off.
Ceci tells Andres that she likes him, but can't be with him like this. They can be friends. Andres doesn't like this, but Ceci puts him in his place when she tells him that he only comes looking for her when she has problems with Leo. A tear of pure dolor runs down her cheek as she leaves. Leo watches the scene from behind the trunk of a palm tree, and tells herself that Ceci will not take him from her.
Arnaldo's crying a river at Inez's bedside as he tells her that what happened between her and GSD is in the past, and she was always like a 2nd mama to him. She always supported him.
Eva's throwing back a little tequila with Ivan while she tells him that love is not for people like him, and he tells her that there must be someone who knows who they really are and can accept them. The background music sounds like it's being played on a little tikes piano. I'll go out on a limb here, folks, but I think that Ivan is suggesting that maybe they could love each other.
Arnaldo tells Inez that he knows how it feels to keep a love hidden, and he understands her. He hopes that she will get well so that he can tell her how much he appreciates her.
The Engergizer Bunny arrives at Isela's place and learns that Efrain was there and scared her with his suspiciouns. Diego tells her that he suspects the same, but he seems to be more upset about Azul being in the arms of Mo than the death of his BFF. Isela tells him not to do anyting stupid that will put him in danger.
Andres tells Mo that he saw Diego at Azul's place in his boxers. Mo comes unglued and tells him to get out. Leo enters to say "I told you so." She knew that he was really in love with her. Really in love, for the first time. Mo looks like he's about to have a stroke - his face is red and he's breathing heavily as he says that Azul is his, and he will get her back! He just needs to get rid of Diego and Eva!
At Isela's bar, Paco's dad arrives and tells Diego and Isela that Paco's dead. Isela says "It can't be!" Diego is impactado.
Leo and Mo seem to have calmed down. He's laying on the couch while she sits in a chair and talks to him. They look like a therapist and patient as she tells him that his first priority should be finding a cure for his illness. He says that is his first priority, but he's also detemined to make Azul forget about Diego.
Azul is in bed at her apartment, talking on the phone with Emilia and offers to pass the phone to GSD, who's there with her, but he gives her the international symbol for "don't tell her I'm here" -- criss crossing his arms several times. Azul doesn't understand why he didn't want to talk, are they fighting? He says they're not fighting, but they've been a bit distant. Anyway, he's glad that Emilia's coming over because he doesn't want her to be alone, and he needs to go see Inez. He tells her about Inez's suicide attempt.
Arnaldo's in the waiting room of the hospital with Jose. He tells Jose that the longer she's in the coma, the less chance she has of waking up. Pobre de Arnaldo looks crushed.
Azul wants to know why she didn't hear the news sooner, and GSD tells her that Arnaldo called her cell, but she didn't answer.
Isela's bar: Paco, Chucho, and Efrain are mourning Paco's death while Silvana the ghoul listens from a distance. Isela cries, Silvana tries to comfort her, Diego is speechless over having to mourn his best friend's death while wearing the ugliest sweater ever made.
Azul tells GSD that she can't forgive Inez for what she did to her mama, but she didn't want anything bad to happen to her. GSD tells her that he's going to the hopsital. Azul asks him why he's working for Mo again, and GSD says that he wants to find a cure for the virus. If she only knew!
Moppets's still dressed like a princess, playing with the doll that Azul gave her. Creepy!
Flavio approaches Silvana and is flirting shamelessly, totally oblivious to Isela and Diego's grief. Silvana tells him that it's not the time for this. Why not? We're novios. Diego tells him that Silvana is a good woman and he wishes them the best. Then Isela drops the bomb -- Paco's dead!
GSD tells Azul goodbye, and is a little too serious about it. She asks why he's talking to her like she's dying. She needs to know what's happening to her. When will he have the test results? He says he needs to get back to the lab to find out. Emilia watches all of this and is clearly uncomfortable. She follows him out and tells him that it's not easy to hide things from Azul, who's very intuitive. GSD says that he must stay close to Mo so that he can find the cure for Azul. The have a moment of hand holding before he runs off to the hospital to see Inez, who's in a coma.
Flavio offers to take care of the bar while Isela and Diego go to the funeral home. Diego can't believe that these people have taken his grandfather, his BFF, and the woman he loves. Isela tells him not to jump to conclusions until he's talked to her about why she was at Mo's place. He says that he and Azul have nothing to talk about. She's a liar, and maybe she's part of all of this.
Lidia brings Clemencia and Manuel the wedding pics, and they stay for some delicious mole. She tells them of the plan to honeymoon in Europe, and they congratulate her and say that finally someone in the family will see something outside of Mexico. I'm not sure of the significance of this statement, but Piero looks perplexed and Lidia a little embarrassed.
Ivan is tudying the pictures of the paintings that he took. I'm a little confused here -- he's talking about classifying the colors, the theme, etc. of the paintings and feeding the data into some software that he's programmed. It will convert the words to numbers and look for patterns. HUH????? Eva's impressed by his crazy plan.
Manuel wants to know when he'll start working. He likes collecting a check, but he'd like to be earning it. Piero tells him he'll have more information in a few days. Deigo arrives in the middle of dinner and tells them the news of Paco's death. Lidia runs from the table as Manuel and Piero continue eating their dinner as if nothing's happened.
Azul tells Emilia about how upset Caty is over the breakup, and Emilia tells her that she's with Diego now and shouldn't be going to Mo's house.
Leo's having a little snack in bed - and hey! This is the first time I've noticed that she has a picture of the St. Louis Arch hanging in her bedroom! I can see the Arch from my terrace! -- sorry, I'll get back to the show... Andres wants to know why she didn't come down to eat, and she tells him to sit while she reads him the riot act. He needs to keep his distance from Ivan. Oh, and she's learned that Mo's in love with Azul. Andres is impactado, and isn't happy to hear that Mo's determined to win her back.
Ceci's surprised to see Emilia at her apartment, and tells Emilia about her encounter with Andres. Ceci wants to see Azul, but she warns her off, saying that she doesn't want Azul to have a relapse. Ceci's impactada - why would Azul have a relapse? She knows that Emilia isn't telling her something.
Jose and Arnaldo are still at Inez's bedside, but Jose needs to go becuase he knows Alfredo is on his way. Too late -- Alfredo's arrived, and he dosn't want to shake the hand of his son's boyfriend.
Then we get a second look at the talk/kiss between Ceci and Andres, and Leo's reaction to it.
Jacinto brings Leo's yogurt to the maid (Chonita), who thanks him and tells him how nasty Leonarda is. Jacinto confirms that Leo is the only one in the house who eats yogurt. Synthesizers of doom remind us that the yogurt will be Leonarda's downfall. Chonita seems to be smitten with Jacinto.

Juan Q 9/25 "If love is the answer, could you please rephrase the question?" *
Monica wants to know if CL knew that Paula was going out with her chauffeur. CL denies that Paula is doing any such thing. He insists that Paula said that she was coming to dinner with a friend, not a boyfriend. Monica wants to know why CL is so insistent. CL points out that Juan is just a chauffeur.
Paula denies that Juan is just a chauffeur to her; she claims he is a very good friend. Juan points out that now he has to deal with the problem that CL and Monica saw it very differently. Paula gets defensive and says she won’t ask him for any more favors. Juan won’t play that game. He’s not saying that he doesn’t want to do anymore favors, but the position he is in right now is very disagreeable. Paula understands and points out that it’s not easy for her either. Juan thinks that Paula made it look easy. Paula replies that Juan knew perfectly well what was going to happen at that dinner. Juan spits back that he wants to know why Paula wants to cause such hurt. Paula says that she’s confronting a fantasy. Juan asks her if she’s still in love with CL. Paula falls silent.
Monica defends Juan. “He’s not ugly.” She tells CL. CL glares at her. Monica continues to point out all the good physical qualities of Juan. She thinks he’s attractive, even if his wardrobe lacks. CL again points out the economic difference between Paula and Juan. Monica replies that Paula is still just a single woman. CL doesn’t think this matters. Monica thinks that loneliness can cause a woman to do crazy things. She switches on the TV and ignores CL’s question. He asks her if she really thinks there could be something between Paula and Juan.
Paula tells Juan that she’s not sure. Juan replies that with love one always knows. Paula doesn’t agree. She’s really confused. Juan doesn’t argue but he points out that it’s nevertheless dangerous to play such games. Paula wants to know why Juan is telling her this. He retorts that she’s very important to him and that he doesn’t want to see her suffer.
Monica asks CL if he didn’t notice how Juan looked at Paula. CL thinks it would be normal for Juan to be like that with Paula, but that the sentiment wasn’t there in reverse. Monica points out that Paula was very attentive to Juan. CL says that he didn’t notice. Monica points out that CL is not very observant. Monica’s sure something is there.
Paula tells Juan that it’s the consequence for loving someone she shouldn’t have loved. Juan thinks Paula should put her efforts into forgetting the whole thing and starting over. Paula says this is what she wants to do. This night was her good-bye to CL. She promises not to accept anymore dinner invitations. They “high-five” and Juan promises to always be there whenever she needs him. Paula gives him a sweet hug and exits the car.
Paula enters the house and her mother immediately comes charging down the stairs to find out how everything went. Paula doesn’t want to talk about it right now. Paula says that she doesn’t feel good; she feels like she’s mixing up things with CL and with Juan. Paula admits that she’s using Juan. Paula’s concerned that Juan will now have problems on her account. Ana asks if this relationship with Juan is really just a simple friendship. Paula replies that Juan could never think of it as anything more; that would be impossible. Plus, Juan has a secret love. Ana warns Paula to be careful.
Julia sleeps with the phone at her side, but Kike hasn’t called.
Kike attempts to exit Yadira’s room but Yadira and her cotton bunny tail won’t let him go. She starts to yell and say that he’s abusing her. Kike spits back that it’s she who’s abusing him. Kike tries to get her to cover, but Yadira resists.
Julia continues to sleep. She knocks the phone to the floor, and that wakens her. She looks at her watch and then glumly settles back into the couch.
Kike wants to know if Yadira will let him leave. Yadira says she won’t; she wants to get back the time that they lost. She wants him to want her again. Kike says it won’t happen. Yadira accuses him of being afraid. He effusively denies this. Yadira and her blanket rush over to Kike.
Juan reflects on his day. He has a lot of things to think about, like how to interpret Paula’s words. Juan thinks that if this good-bye for CL then it could be hello for him. He rushes over to his mirror and thinks that he’s in love with Paula and he thinks she’s starting to fall in love with him. The one thing of which Juan is sure is that he’s about to lose his job.
Nidia tries to wake Alirio for work. Alirio begs to be allowed to sleep. She guilt trips him. He decides that he would like one thing more than sleeping. She shoves him away. He loudly protests.
Kike and that awful pillow they make him wear get dressed. He rushes out Yadira’s door, but sees that Nidia’s about to leave her room. He’s worried that he needs to get to work. Yadira says that if he’s worried about not being seen then he needs to wait. Nidia will go back to sleep after Alirio leaves.
Marely and Juan share an awkward breakfast. Marely wants to know about last night. Juan’s not a man of many words. All he can say is “good.” Marely accuses him of allowing himself to be a puppet. Juan thought bubbles that it was gutsy for Marely to call him a puppet. He thinks that things are just now starting to heat up.
Juan picks up his Paula. She warns him that CL will asks about last night. Paula tells Juan not to say anything. He may only say that she invited him and he said yes.
Nidia wants to know why Alirio was so late the night before. Alirio blames it on work and on being the “right hand” for CL. Nidia asks if Alirio spoke with Gutierrez. Alirio gasps.
Paula and Juan take their leave of each other in the garage. Juan goes for Fernando, but accidentally pops a petite blonde on the head first. Fernando mentions that CL is as though he got up on the wrong side of the bed. Juan looks worried.
Paula goes to her office and finds CL waiting for her. They coldly greet each other. She wants to know what he wants. He wants to know how she had the nerve to bring Juan to his apartment. Paula imitates Scarlet O’Hara and arches her eyebrow in defiance.
Sparks fly. Paula says that she doesn’t have to answer. CL wants to know what is her game; why did she bring Juan. Paula demands that Juan deserves respect. CL doesn’t agree. He thinks the whole thing was a joke. Paula denies this. She really is going out with Juan. CL says that he doesn’t believe it. He wonders how Paula could have fallen so far. She calls him out. She doesn’t need a rich man with nice suits. She needs someone with whom she shares an attraction and who gives her respect. CL accuses her of committing the worst error of her life. She says that it’s her error to make. CL warns her that these games can be dangerous. She retorts that she loves danger.
Alirio promises that he was calling Gutierrez the whole day, but couldn’t get a hold of him. He thinks it’s a good idea to hook Gutierrez up with Yadira. Nidia can’t believe what Alirio’s saying.
Kike paces the room, which annoys Yadira. He’s worried that Alirio’s not going to work. Yadira knows that Alirio will go. Kike asks for the phone to make a call. Yadira seductively offers the phone, but Kike won’t take it.
Nidia rushes after Alirio and accuses him of wanting to deceive her. Alirio denies this and tries to calm her. He wants to explain his idea. Nidia won’t hear it. She throws a pillow at Alirio and calls him a monster. Alirio points out that Nidia herself thinks that it’s time for the girls to prepare themselves to leave the house. Alirio thinks that Gutierrez can give Yadira a sufficient life and help her mature. Nidia can’t argue with Alirio’s logic. Alirio finally leaves the house.
Marely’s on the phone apologizing to a Mr. Rios because Kike hasn’t appeared. Ummm…I have that outfit that Paula has on. One, it’s a coat, not a dress. Two, I put a shirt on underneath it. Just a personal observation there. Marely and Paula discuss Kike. Marely’s worried about him. She continues to call Kike’s house.
Fernando and Juan are also wondering about Kike. Juan wants Kike to arrive so that he can tell Juan about class the night before. Fernando laughs about Juan already missing class. Juan says that he had an important date. They continue their game until Paula comes to the garage. She wants to talk to Juan. She tells Juan that CL is making a big scene about last night. She makes Juan promise to give CL the explanation that CL wants to hear. Juan doesn’t understand this instruction. Paula says this means to tell CL the truth. Juan says that he’s a gentleman. Paula doesn’t care; she wants him to admit to sleeping with her if asked. Fernando slyly listens in the conversation.
Kike finally gets out of Yadira’s room, but he’s caught by Nidia.
Juan wants to know if Paula really wants him to tell CL everything. Paula strongly confirms that she does. Juan doesn’t think that CL will like that. Paula goes into a tangent about CL not being her father. She gets Juan when she says that what they shared was something sweet and important and that it should not be hidden. Juan’s speechless. All he can say is that he’s really happy. Paula happily leaves. Juan dances and thanks God for his luck. Fernando laughs at Juan’s antics. Juan jumps into Fernando’s arms. Fernando wants to know what’s going on, but all he gets is a kiss on the cheek. Juan shouts that he’s the happiest man in the land.
Nidia can’t believe what happened. This is how Yadira and Kike pay her back! Yadira tells her mother not to exaggerate, it’s not like this is the first time. Nidia cuts off Yadira and won’t hear a word from Kike. She again says that she was deceived. She wanted Kike to treat Yadira like a gentleman would, not like a Don Juan. She insists that Kike leave immediately and not return. Kike finally gets to leave the room. Nidia glares at Yadira and says that Yadira’s forbidden to leave her room. Yadira refuses to abide by this rule. Nidia warns that she’s not playing. She tells Yadira to forget about a car. Yadira play throws a pillow and mumbles unhappily to herself. She reaches down and finds a paper that describes Kike’s academic plan.
Paula tells Marely about the fight with CL. It was like he was at the point of a heart attack. Paula looks a little too gleeful about CL’s possible impending death. Marely looks as disgusted as I feel. Paula won’t allow Marely to ask any questions. Paula says that if CL wants to believe that Paula is Juan’s girlfriend, then Paula’s going to be Juan’s girlfriend. Marely looks stupefied.
CL pow-wow’s with Pastor. CL wants to know everything about Juan. Pastor doesn’t know where to start. CL wants to know if Juan is attractive. Pastor doesn’t want to answer. CL insists. Pastor admits that Juan could affect a woman. Pastor begins to list all of Juan’s attributes. CL says that he doesn’t want details. Pastor continues to list different good qualities of Juan. At the same time we get to see Juan dancing with a woman. Kike walks onto the scene.
Everyone applauds Kike’s arrival. Juan feels the need to immediately tell Kike about his good fortune. Kike knows that it has something to do with last night. Juan starts to tell his story, but Kike cuts him off and rushes to work. Kike comes back to give Juan the notes from the night before and to tell Juan that they had homework. Juan and Fernando silently look at each other.
Kike rushes through the lobby to Marely. He explains that he had a problem that he could not get out of. Marely gives him his assignments for the day. Kike tries to rush away, but Marely stops him to ask about Juan. Kike tells her that Juan’s very happy. Kike runs to the elevator. Julia can’t even catch him.
Juan reviews Kike’s notes, but he’s having a hard time reading them. Fernando thinks that Juan and Kike should take a handwriting class. The phone rings. It’s CL and he wants Juan to come to his office. Juan puts on his game face and prepares to go. Fernando wishes him luck. Juan thought bubbles that the hour of truth has arrived. He boldly prances off the elevator into the lobby. Paula gives him a thumbs up. The rest of the office watches.
Juan enters CL’s office; it’s empty, but not really. CL insists that CL drinks. When Juan refuses, CL has Juan sit. CL says that Juan needs to answer him with total honesty. CL wants to know what’s going on between Juan and Paula.
Paula very maturely watches out the window in her door. She talks to Marely about Juan’s interrogation. Paula tells Marely about her plan. Marely can’t believe that Paula wants Juan to tell everything. Marely whips around and tells Paula that she can’t believe that Paula would use Juan for vengeance. Marely accuses Paula of fighting dirty and being unjust. Why, oh why, can’t Marely be the protagonista? Marely storms out. Paula looks stupefied.
CL wants to know if the facts are so grave that Juan has to think about them so much. Juan says that he will only speak about himself and what he feels. CL repeats his question to Juan. Juan tells CL that he and Paula are in love. CL laughs and asks Juan if he really believes that. Juan confirms that he and Paula haven’t gone out together much, but that they’ve shared something very important. CL wants an explanation. Juan tells CL about the night he and Paula had sex. CL’s face noticeably drops about two inches.
Wednesday: Has Juan sealed his fate? Will CL get rid of both Juan and Paula? Will Kike make it through his delivery route? Tune in on Wednesday!

Monica asks CL if he didn’t notice how Juan looked at Paula. CL thinks it would be normal for Juan to be like that with Paula, but that the sentiment wasn’t there in reverse. Monica points out that Paula was very attentive to Juan. CL says that he didn’t notice. Monica points out that CL is not very observant. Monica’s sure something is there.
Paula tells Juan that it’s the consequence for loving someone she shouldn’t have loved. Juan thinks Paula should put her efforts into forgetting the whole thing and starting over. Paula says this is what she wants to do. This night was her good-bye to CL. She promises not to accept anymore dinner invitations. They “high-five” and Juan promises to always be there whenever she needs him. Paula gives him a sweet hug and exits the car.
Paula enters the house and her mother immediately comes charging down the stairs to find out how everything went. Paula doesn’t want to talk about it right now. Paula says that she doesn’t feel good; she feels like she’s mixing up things with CL and with Juan. Paula admits that she’s using Juan. Paula’s concerned that Juan will now have problems on her account. Ana asks if this relationship with Juan is really just a simple friendship. Paula replies that Juan could never think of it as anything more; that would be impossible. Plus, Juan has a secret love. Ana warns Paula to be careful.
Julia sleeps with the phone at her side, but Kike hasn’t called.
Kike attempts to exit Yadira’s room but Yadira and her cotton bunny tail won’t let him go. She starts to yell and say that he’s abusing her. Kike spits back that it’s she who’s abusing him. Kike tries to get her to cover, but Yadira resists.
Julia continues to sleep. She knocks the phone to the floor, and that wakens her. She looks at her watch and then glumly settles back into the couch.
Kike wants to know if Yadira will let him leave. Yadira says she won’t; she wants to get back the time that they lost. She wants him to want her again. Kike says it won’t happen. Yadira accuses him of being afraid. He effusively denies this. Yadira and her blanket rush over to Kike.
Juan reflects on his day. He has a lot of things to think about, like how to interpret Paula’s words. Juan thinks that if this good-bye for CL then it could be hello for him. He rushes over to his mirror and thinks that he’s in love with Paula and he thinks she’s starting to fall in love with him. The one thing of which Juan is sure is that he’s about to lose his job.
Nidia tries to wake Alirio for work. Alirio begs to be allowed to sleep. She guilt trips him. He decides that he would like one thing more than sleeping. She shoves him away. He loudly protests.
Kike and that awful pillow they make him wear get dressed. He rushes out Yadira’s door, but sees that Nidia’s about to leave her room. He’s worried that he needs to get to work. Yadira says that if he’s worried about not being seen then he needs to wait. Nidia will go back to sleep after Alirio leaves.
Marely and Juan share an awkward breakfast. Marely wants to know about last night. Juan’s not a man of many words. All he can say is “good.” Marely accuses him of allowing himself to be a puppet. Juan thought bubbles that it was gutsy for Marely to call him a puppet. He thinks that things are just now starting to heat up.
Juan picks up his Paula. She warns him that CL will asks about last night. Paula tells Juan not to say anything. He may only say that she invited him and he said yes.
Nidia wants to know why Alirio was so late the night before. Alirio blames it on work and on being the “right hand” for CL. Nidia asks if Alirio spoke with Gutierrez. Alirio gasps.
Paula and Juan take their leave of each other in the garage. Juan goes for Fernando, but accidentally pops a petite blonde on the head first. Fernando mentions that CL is as though he got up on the wrong side of the bed. Juan looks worried.
Paula goes to her office and finds CL waiting for her. They coldly greet each other. She wants to know what he wants. He wants to know how she had the nerve to bring Juan to his apartment. Paula imitates Scarlet O’Hara and arches her eyebrow in defiance.
Sparks fly. Paula says that she doesn’t have to answer. CL wants to know what is her game; why did she bring Juan. Paula demands that Juan deserves respect. CL doesn’t agree. He thinks the whole thing was a joke. Paula denies this. She really is going out with Juan. CL says that he doesn’t believe it. He wonders how Paula could have fallen so far. She calls him out. She doesn’t need a rich man with nice suits. She needs someone with whom she shares an attraction and who gives her respect. CL accuses her of committing the worst error of her life. She says that it’s her error to make. CL warns her that these games can be dangerous. She retorts that she loves danger.
Alirio promises that he was calling Gutierrez the whole day, but couldn’t get a hold of him. He thinks it’s a good idea to hook Gutierrez up with Yadira. Nidia can’t believe what Alirio’s saying.
Kike paces the room, which annoys Yadira. He’s worried that Alirio’s not going to work. Yadira knows that Alirio will go. Kike asks for the phone to make a call. Yadira seductively offers the phone, but Kike won’t take it.
Nidia rushes after Alirio and accuses him of wanting to deceive her. Alirio denies this and tries to calm her. He wants to explain his idea. Nidia won’t hear it. She throws a pillow at Alirio and calls him a monster. Alirio points out that Nidia herself thinks that it’s time for the girls to prepare themselves to leave the house. Alirio thinks that Gutierrez can give Yadira a sufficient life and help her mature. Nidia can’t argue with Alirio’s logic. Alirio finally leaves the house.
Marely’s on the phone apologizing to a Mr. Rios because Kike hasn’t appeared. Ummm…I have that outfit that Paula has on. One, it’s a coat, not a dress. Two, I put a shirt on underneath it. Just a personal observation there. Marely and Paula discuss Kike. Marely’s worried about him. She continues to call Kike’s house.
Fernando and Juan are also wondering about Kike. Juan wants Kike to arrive so that he can tell Juan about class the night before. Fernando laughs about Juan already missing class. Juan says that he had an important date. They continue their game until Paula comes to the garage. She wants to talk to Juan. She tells Juan that CL is making a big scene about last night. She makes Juan promise to give CL the explanation that CL wants to hear. Juan doesn’t understand this instruction. Paula says this means to tell CL the truth. Juan says that he’s a gentleman. Paula doesn’t care; she wants him to admit to sleeping with her if asked. Fernando slyly listens in the conversation.
Kike finally gets out of Yadira’s room, but he’s caught by Nidia.
Juan wants to know if Paula really wants him to tell CL everything. Paula strongly confirms that she does. Juan doesn’t think that CL will like that. Paula goes into a tangent about CL not being her father. She gets Juan when she says that what they shared was something sweet and important and that it should not be hidden. Juan’s speechless. All he can say is that he’s really happy. Paula happily leaves. Juan dances and thanks God for his luck. Fernando laughs at Juan’s antics. Juan jumps into Fernando’s arms. Fernando wants to know what’s going on, but all he gets is a kiss on the cheek. Juan shouts that he’s the happiest man in the land.
Nidia can’t believe what happened. This is how Yadira and Kike pay her back! Yadira tells her mother not to exaggerate, it’s not like this is the first time. Nidia cuts off Yadira and won’t hear a word from Kike. She again says that she was deceived. She wanted Kike to treat Yadira like a gentleman would, not like a Don Juan. She insists that Kike leave immediately and not return. Kike finally gets to leave the room. Nidia glares at Yadira and says that Yadira’s forbidden to leave her room. Yadira refuses to abide by this rule. Nidia warns that she’s not playing. She tells Yadira to forget about a car. Yadira play throws a pillow and mumbles unhappily to herself. She reaches down and finds a paper that describes Kike’s academic plan.
Paula tells Marely about the fight with CL. It was like he was at the point of a heart attack. Paula looks a little too gleeful about CL’s possible impending death. Marely looks as disgusted as I feel. Paula won’t allow Marely to ask any questions. Paula says that if CL wants to believe that Paula is Juan’s girlfriend, then Paula’s going to be Juan’s girlfriend. Marely looks stupefied.
CL pow-wow’s with Pastor. CL wants to know everything about Juan. Pastor doesn’t know where to start. CL wants to know if Juan is attractive. Pastor doesn’t want to answer. CL insists. Pastor admits that Juan could affect a woman. Pastor begins to list all of Juan’s attributes. CL says that he doesn’t want details. Pastor continues to list different good qualities of Juan. At the same time we get to see Juan dancing with a woman. Kike walks onto the scene.
Everyone applauds Kike’s arrival. Juan feels the need to immediately tell Kike about his good fortune. Kike knows that it has something to do with last night. Juan starts to tell his story, but Kike cuts him off and rushes to work. Kike comes back to give Juan the notes from the night before and to tell Juan that they had homework. Juan and Fernando silently look at each other.
Kike rushes through the lobby to Marely. He explains that he had a problem that he could not get out of. Marely gives him his assignments for the day. Kike tries to rush away, but Marely stops him to ask about Juan. Kike tells her that Juan’s very happy. Kike runs to the elevator. Julia can’t even catch him.
Juan reviews Kike’s notes, but he’s having a hard time reading them. Fernando thinks that Juan and Kike should take a handwriting class. The phone rings. It’s CL and he wants Juan to come to his office. Juan puts on his game face and prepares to go. Fernando wishes him luck. Juan thought bubbles that the hour of truth has arrived. He boldly prances off the elevator into the lobby. Paula gives him a thumbs up. The rest of the office watches.
Juan enters CL’s office; it’s empty, but not really. CL insists that CL drinks. When Juan refuses, CL has Juan sit. CL says that Juan needs to answer him with total honesty. CL wants to know what’s going on between Juan and Paula.
Paula very maturely watches out the window in her door. She talks to Marely about Juan’s interrogation. Paula tells Marely about her plan. Marely can’t believe that Paula wants Juan to tell everything. Marely whips around and tells Paula that she can’t believe that Paula would use Juan for vengeance. Marely accuses Paula of fighting dirty and being unjust. Why, oh why, can’t Marely be the protagonista? Marely storms out. Paula looks stupefied.
CL wants to know if the facts are so grave that Juan has to think about them so much. Juan says that he will only speak about himself and what he feels. CL repeats his question to Juan. Juan tells CL that he and Paula are in love. CL laughs and asks Juan if he really believes that. Juan confirms that he and Paula haven’t gone out together much, but that they’ve shared something very important. CL wants an explanation. Juan tells CL about the night he and Paula had sex. CL’s face noticeably drops about two inches.
Wednesday: Has Juan sealed his fate? Will CL get rid of both Juan and Paula? Will Kike make it through his delivery route? Tune in on Wednesday!

Destilando 9/28/07 "Pancho Villa..His Plan for Rich Folks to Market Tequila"
We start out with the rehash of Dona Jose trying to pry the secret knowledge of Gavi’s father outta Clarita.
Clarita vows she will never break that secret, cue the muy impacto music…Thus leaving us to wonder once again about the deep dark secret regarding the birth of Gavi.
Meanwhile now over to the party of uninvited mujars or the “Where the Boys Are”, cocktail party. Once again I cringe as Sofie tries to be one of the A-Team. Props to Isa for not just thumping her a good one. The ladies continue to drink. Isa could go totally “No one loves me, well except your two husbands”, in reference to Aaron boinking & Frankie boinking of the past. Fortunately, in her drunken state Isa realizes that this really wouldn’t be the time and once again is swigging on booze and laughing it up with the girls. Minnie comes up with the idea that “Hey I’m gonna go to the event & kill Gaviota”. This does seem like a logical plan, until the older & wiser Fedra points out that Minnie has no invitation and won’t be allowed in the festival. Minnie is forced to acknowledge the truth of Fedra’s statement and decides to stay & continue to drink with the girls. I believe this was a good idea, because at this point mixing Tequila with the already huge quantities of most likely Rum that has been consumed would not have been prudent. I also feel it would be sheer laziness on my part if I did not point out that Minnie’s outfit is not her best. No do not attend the function wearing a satin Muu-Muu.
Now we go back to the festival. Clarita & Jose are throwing down the Tequilas. Now we get a Dr. Blondie commercial on Tequila cocktails. Dr. Blondie offers them drinks made with "Ardiente pasión", orange juice, lime juice, grapefruit juice, pineapple, it is a kinda of little paper umbrella drink. Don’t mix the Tequila with sweet, the hangover, I waste my breath these TeleNovela people never take my advise. I thought my days of the “Sabor of Life”, was over but Damn you TeleVisa. Clarita & Jose are thrilled, why they will have another. This is turning into a Saturday night at Golden Corral, only it is drinks not sides of beef.
Rod later comes over to Clarita & tries to con her into forbidding Gavi to go on the trip. Rod says Gavi is a big executive, new friends, a swell boss. Well she is free to do what she wants, after all she is single and so is the doctor. Hey Rod, here is a grown woman who is allowed to think for herself, Hmmmmmm, doesn’t happen much with your family does it, Mr. Married the Wrong Woman?
Clarita says Rod needs to have confidence in Gavi, he shouldn’t doubt her just cause Dr. Blondie, is a swell guy and has very pretty eyes. She does not however, mention that he is about as exciting as C-Span at two in the morning. Rod is jealous, sets his finely chiseled jaw and marches off. Clarita & Jose giggle..oh yes, have a few more drinks.
Now more FUN TEQUILA FACTS: brought to courtesy of that wizard of fun facts Dr. Blondie.
FYI Mescal in the language of the Nahuatl, signifies the House of the Moon, the Spanish Fermented the drink and named it Tequila. Now then let’s move on to 1910, well the mean old aristocrats who ruled Mexcio, well they were all European like and drank only fine European liquors. Now the troops of Pancho Villa & Emilio Zapata, drank Tequila.
Rod walks up and interrupts, “Indeed the heros of our country have always drank Tequila”.
And if I may interject here, without little fruit slice and fairy umbrellas….Anyway carry on Rod.
Rod continues, “You should always look for the best, like with Gaviota”.
Blondie answers, “Gavi is brilliant”
This is a bit awkward & Gavi does the “Con Permiso” walking away. Just think how weird this looked to those buyers that were listening to Mexican History 101, the Revolution Years. I would have indeed paid a dollar to see one of those foreign guys ask, “What happened to all the Aristocrats?”. Oh, they now own all the Tequila manufacturing, Capitalism at it’s best, the descendents of the troops, well they harvest the Agave, indeed a win-win situation.
Rod follows her across the room. Rod is most upset that Gavi will be traveling with that “Sex God”, Dr. Blondie. Gavi is trying to get him to see reason. Av* walks up and asks if everything is fine and Rod says yes, they are just talking about the wonderful trip she is going on with Dr. Blondie. Av* oblivious to the underlying tension wanders off. Gavi is like it is a business trip not a vacation. Rod says it is like a Honey Moon. She even queries, “What kind of woman do you think I am?”
Gavi alittle advise here… See this is such a no win question, cause you know any guy would say, “A couple of Tequilas & you were easy enough for me.” Thus leading down a road of truth & bad feeling. Don’t open that door, just let him continue to lie to himself and believe, yes he was that special.
Rod answers a beautiful, sensuous, woman. He leaves out the part about, who has been screwed over by me for about four years now and might just want to hook up with a single professional guy.
Rod & Gavi get in another conversation. He says he bets she threw away the painting he sent her, so Dr. Blondie wouldn’t think there was anything between Rod & Gavi. She says she didn’t. A bet ensues, if she can show him the painting, she will let him decide if she should go or stay. They walk off to her office area, they are watched by Dr. Blondie & Aaron.
Now we go to a room where SanWanna is in a robe and towel on her head. She is smearing the Patrona’s good perfume all over. Quick jump to the Hacienda, Ofelia is telling Roman that SanWanna stole the Patron’s perfume before the little crack whore ran off. Wow what are the odds, that she would notice that at the same time SanWanna is rubbing it on? Roman doesn’t believe it. Roman damn Dude, first you trust the Patrona, now SanWanna. It was sheer luck that he got a decent wife cause this guy is no judge of the female character.
She takes Rod to the office area, he looks around the lobby & is all like “See I knew, you threw it away”. Damn he is so stupid, like AssHat she knows if she has the painting or not, this isn’t poker, she isn’t bluffing. Gavi takes him in her office. Rod is all shades of excited that the painting is on the wall, see it right there, behind her little desk.
Aaron & Bruno are drinking Rod’s Tequila, Aaron thinks it is a bit Cursi (pretentious) to name it Ardiente pasión. Bruno says he likes the name. Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Aaron we all know you only named your 's Turquoise cause “AmanteNoon Delight”, was already taken.
Now then Frankie signs in…he comes in and says hi to Bruno & Aaron, who look none to pleased to see him. Frankie introduces himself to Av*. He says he is the husband of Sofie and Actual Administrator of the Hacienda. Damn Frankie lays it on thick, Av* walks away rolling his eyes. This was awesome and I know I am not alone in wishing to thank TeleVista for allowing us to see what it would have been like had Eddie Haskell been Mexican and wanted to worm his way into the world of Tequila. Thank you TeleVista Thank you.
Gavi has the little dedication Rod wrote her on her desk. Now Rod is one happy guy.
A Rod remembers Margarita gave him a card for Gavi. He gives it to her. It is her birthday on Sunday. Rod wants to be the first to give her a birthday hug. No No No…Yes Yes Yes. This leads to some serious kissing, and who should be prowling around the of course open door? Dr. Blondie, he stares and stares and stares, until the image is burned into the synapses of his brain where it is likely to remain, until surgical removal, a brain hemorrhage, an advanced state of Alzheimer’s or some loving down by the beach removes the image. Oh no, now I have that mental image of that ED commercial where the people are sitting on the beach in bathtubs, with the phallic symbol lighthouse in the background. Only in my image the guy has a cup of coffee perched on the side of the tub. Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Hee-Hee now we have a commercial break where we see the crazy eyes of Dr. Blondie playing that other role on Amor..not to be exended..see he has crazy eyes.
Now we come back to “The Office Embrace of 1000 future promises”, ending. Rod sees the shameful rip off book of Tequila smells. For those of you who saw “French Kiss” with Kevin Kline & Meg Ryan, you know what I’m talking about. That little science project about wine, that Luc (Luc, Luc damn he was hawt) had lying in his bedroom that he showed to Meg Ryan about wine gets its flavors from the earth. How come I thought it was so wicked good when he did it and “Myth Busters” when Dr. Blondie did it? I know I should try to be fair and balanced, but well that just isn’t in my list of priorities.
At first Rod thinks this is an awesome project, oh no he see the gushy message. He reads it out loud. Rod is mad, Dr. Blondie, LurkMuch? Who just happened to be outside comes in and says Rod misunderstood the tone of his message. Rod says he understood exactly. Then and this is just beyond the pale, Rod picks up Rod's little dedication off the desk and rubs his mouth all over it and crumbles it up and throws it down. How Gavi & Dr. Blondie kept from laughing in his face, I’ll never know, but he just screamed thirteen year old drama queen. Rod says he hopes they have a nice trip and marches out.
Gavi tears up and everyready Dr. Blondie hands her his hanky. He is so sorry Rod misunderstood his dedication. Why he will just explain everything. Gavi says no, Rod must stop the jealousy. Yeah Gavi I agree Rod needs to get a grip, but Dude was right on (and in his case that is a miracle in itself), he called it on that cheesy prose the Dr. wrote.
Now Clarita & Jose continue to drink, Dona Jose asks Clarita to go with her to the bathroom, but Clarita being uninformed on “Drunk Chic Etiquette” won’t go. Dona Jose wanders off to the bathroom a bit unstable in her gait.
Rod is talking to Frankie, Frankie wants to see MariAnne Franco.
Gavi walks up and tells Rod she hung the painting cause he is important to her and he is the only guy in her life. Rod scoffs at this. He calls Frankie over and introduces MariAnne Franco. Now we have a doble Muy Impacto Moment. They shake hands. Rod says Frankie or James will handle the visit to the ranch. Rod won’t be going and in fact he is leaving now.
Frankie comes back to talk to Gavi..They both agree to keep their mouths shut. Gavi throws in a dig that his mother is here and she will be happy to see him. Frankie with a shocked look turns to leave and Gavi calls him a coward.
Gavi see Clarita who yes is still drinking and she tells Clarita about Rod and about Dona Jose.
They decide to go find Dona Jose before Frankie can sneak out, but wait, Clarita see that enemy of decent folk Aaron.
Aaron is talking to Bruno, Bruno wanders off and Gavi and Clarita walk up. Aaron says Gavi must just be so pleased with herself. Gavi says indeed about the people who attended. Aaron starts in about how his family is so frickin important and they will not be marginalized by the CRT. He turns to walk away. Clarita comes up and in a voice of 1000 shots of Tequila tells him he will listen to her and she basically tells him what a low life he is. He asks who Clarita is and Gavi says her mother. Aaron is like you ask your mother here (meaning instead of my awesome mother)..Gavi just laughs at him and he is like just you wait. Aaron has a big ol grin and Gavi is like keep smirking AssHat. Aaron turns around with that big ol smirk on his face until he sees.…….Pamela. Yep Gavi was right the smirk is gone.
Pammie cuts a fine figure in her unnatural Red Hair, new tan & bright blue dress. I wonder whatever pool our little mermaid stands by motionless each day is now in the sun? Cause she is sporting a tan, ummmm unusual for a red head. Pammie greets Clarita & Gavi, they are very cordial and I can see a friendship based on Aaron hating could easily arise. Gavi & Ma take their leave, Aaron is left standing there with Pammie. He says he has to go and tries to do the cheek kiss, Pammie pulls away and Aaron walks off. Not so fast buckoo. We need to talk.
Rod, Frankie and Bruno are standing talking in the lobby, Dona Jose, finally figures out how to exit the bathroom, she see her little Panchito, she comes up and greets him and introduces herself to Rod and Bruno as Frankie’s Ma. She scolds him for not inviting her to the wedding. Rod and Bruno are looking way uncomfortable. Frankie covers by saying this is the Nanny that raised him while his parents were off on business, have a nice life and they leave. Poor Dona Jose is left clutching the wall sobbing by the bathroom.
Av* comes up to chastise Gavi for not inviting the coven to the party. Gavi nobodies fool, directs Av* gaze to Pammie and Aaron and says not only for herself, but for Pammie she couldn’t invite that evil bitch Minnie. So true So true. Av* rushes off to inquire if everything is okay with Pammie and Aaron. Oh Bien they answer. Av* walks away looking like “I am getting way too old for this”.
Pammie still tries to talk to Aaron, but he is trying to walk off. Gaspar, Pa of Pammie comes up and says no explanation is necessary. Bruno comes up. He wants to leave. He and Gaspar walk off.
Now over the real party the girls are dancing, in come Rod & Frankie. Isa is all over Rod with a Hello Love of My Life. Sofie tries to hug Frankie who pulls away. Minnie wants to know who Aaron is banging. Rod says no one and he is going to bed.
Pammie asks why Aaron went back.
I have to say I am so grateful to see Rod come home empty handed. I was in fear he would return with a jizz sample, a turkey baster and his brother-in-law to add another unwanted child into the mix since he and his best girl Gavi broke up at the Homecoming Dance.
And see I called it...like all good "John Hughes" movies the couple always breaks up at the big dance..fear not they will reunite.
The End………………….
A Total Shoot-Out to TeleVista for making me realize what I was missing giving up Tequila for two weeks. You are the devil, but in a good way.
Now then in an unexpected move tomorrow evening SanWanna is wailing on two girls Hil brought home..Hil a threesome? Ewwww
Gavi & Clarita are crying…
Rod is this close from a Sofie smack down..she doesn’t want Gavi to come to the Hacienda..
While I do not condone sibling abuse I would be willing to look the other way in this case.
Clarita vows she will never break that secret, cue the muy impacto music…Thus leaving us to wonder once again about the deep dark secret regarding the birth of Gavi.
Meanwhile now over to the party of uninvited mujars or the “Where the Boys Are”, cocktail party. Once again I cringe as Sofie tries to be one of the A-Team.

He says he is the husband of Sofie and Actual Administrator of the Hacienda. Damn Frankie lays it on thick, Av* walks away rolling his eyes. This was awesome and I know I am not alone in wishing to thank TeleVista for allowing us to see what it would have been like had Eddie Haskell been Mexican and wanted to worm his way into the world of Tequila. Thank you TeleVista Thank you.
Gavi has the little dedication Rod wrote her on her desk. Now Rod is one happy guy.
A Rod remembers Margarita gave him a card for Gavi. He gives it to her. It is her birthday on Sunday. Rod wants to be the first to give her a birthday hug. No No No…Yes Yes Yes. This leads to some serious kissing, and who should be prowling around the of course open door? Dr. Blondie, he stares and stares and stares, until the image is burned into the synapses of his brain where it is likely to remain, until surgical removal, a brain hemorrhage, an advanced state of Alzheimer’s or some loving down by the beach removes the image. Oh no, now I have that mental image of that ED commercial where the people are sitting on the beach in bathtubs, with the phallic symbol lighthouse in the background. Only in my image the guy has a cup of coffee perched on the side of the tub. Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Hee-Hee now we have a commercial break where we see the crazy eyes of Dr. Blondie playing that other role on Amor..not to be exended..see he has crazy eyes.
Now we come back to “The Office Embrace of 1000 future promises”, ending. Rod sees the shameful rip off book of Tequila smells. For those of you who saw “French Kiss” with Kevin Kline & Meg Ryan, you know what I’m talking about. That little science project about wine, that Luc (Luc, Luc damn he was hawt) had lying in his bedroom that he showed to Meg Ryan about wine gets its flavors from the earth. How come I thought it was so wicked good when he did it and “Myth Busters” when Dr. Blondie did it? I know I should try to be fair and balanced, but well that just isn’t in my list of priorities.
At first Rod thinks this is an awesome project, oh no he see the gushy message. He reads it out loud. Rod is mad, Dr. Blondie, LurkMuch? Who just happened to be outside comes in and says Rod misunderstood the tone of his message. Rod says he understood exactly. Then and this is just beyond the pale, Rod picks up Rod's little dedication off the desk and rubs his mouth all over it and crumbles it up and throws it down. How Gavi & Dr. Blondie kept from laughing in his face, I’ll never know, but he just screamed thirteen year old drama queen. Rod says he hopes they have a nice trip and marches out.
Gavi tears up and everyready Dr. Blondie hands her his hanky. He is so sorry Rod misunderstood his dedication. Why he will just explain everything. Gavi says no, Rod must stop the jealousy. Yeah Gavi I agree Rod needs to get a grip, but Dude was right on (and in his case that is a miracle in itself), he called it on that cheesy prose the Dr. wrote.
Now Clarita & Jose continue to drink, Dona Jose asks Clarita to go with her to the bathroom, but Clarita being uninformed on “Drunk Chic Etiquette” won’t go. Dona Jose wanders off to the bathroom a bit unstable in her gait.
Rod is talking to Frankie, Frankie wants to see MariAnne Franco.
Gavi walks up and tells Rod she hung the painting cause he is important to her and he is the only guy in her life. Rod scoffs at this. He calls Frankie over and introduces MariAnne Franco. Now we have a doble Muy Impacto Moment. They shake hands. Rod says Frankie or James will handle the visit to the ranch. Rod won’t be going and in fact he is leaving now.
Frankie comes back to talk to Gavi..They both agree to keep their mouths shut. Gavi throws in a dig that his mother is here and she will be happy to see him. Frankie with a shocked look turns to leave and Gavi calls him a coward.
Gavi see Clarita who yes is still drinking and she tells Clarita about Rod and about Dona Jose.
They decide to go find Dona Jose before Frankie can sneak out, but wait, Clarita see that enemy of decent folk Aaron.
Aaron is talking to Bruno, Bruno wanders off and Gavi and Clarita walk up. Aaron says Gavi must just be so pleased with herself. Gavi says indeed about the people who attended. Aaron starts in about how his family is so frickin important and they will not be marginalized by the CRT. He turns to walk away. Clarita comes up and in a voice of 1000 shots of Tequila tells him he will listen to her and she basically tells him what a low life he is. He asks who Clarita is and Gavi says her mother. Aaron is like you ask your mother here (meaning instead of my awesome mother)..Gavi just laughs at him and he is like just you wait. Aaron has a big ol grin and Gavi is like keep smirking AssHat. Aaron turns around with that big ol smirk on his face until he sees.…….Pamela. Yep Gavi was right the smirk is gone.
Pammie cuts a fine figure in her unnatural Red Hair, new tan & bright blue dress. I wonder whatever pool our little mermaid stands by motionless each day is now in the sun? Cause she is sporting a tan, ummmm unusual for a red head. Pammie greets Clarita & Gavi, they are very cordial and I can see a friendship based on Aaron hating could easily arise. Gavi & Ma take their leave, Aaron is left standing there with Pammie. He says he has to go and tries to do the cheek kiss, Pammie pulls away and Aaron walks off. Not so fast buckoo. We need to talk.
Rod, Frankie and Bruno are standing talking in the lobby, Dona Jose, finally figures out how to exit the bathroom, she see her little Panchito, she comes up and greets him and introduces herself to Rod and Bruno as Frankie’s Ma. She scolds him for not inviting her to the wedding. Rod and Bruno are looking way uncomfortable. Frankie covers by saying this is the Nanny that raised him while his parents were off on business, have a nice life and they leave. Poor Dona Jose is left clutching the wall sobbing by the bathroom.
Av* comes up to chastise Gavi for not inviting the coven to the party. Gavi nobodies fool, directs Av* gaze to Pammie and Aaron and says not only for herself, but for Pammie she couldn’t invite that evil bitch Minnie. So true So true. Av* rushes off to inquire if everything is okay with Pammie and Aaron. Oh Bien they answer. Av* walks away looking like “I am getting way too old for this”.
Pammie still tries to talk to Aaron, but he is trying to walk off. Gaspar, Pa of Pammie comes up and says no explanation is necessary. Bruno comes up. He wants to leave. He and Gaspar walk off.
Now over the real party the girls are dancing, in come Rod & Frankie. Isa is all over Rod with a Hello Love of My Life. Sofie tries to hug Frankie who pulls away. Minnie wants to know who Aaron is banging. Rod says no one and he is going to bed.
Pammie asks why Aaron went back.
I have to say I am so grateful to see Rod come home empty handed. I was in fear he would return with a jizz sample, a turkey baster and his brother-in-law to add another unwanted child into the mix since he and his best girl Gavi broke up at the Homecoming Dance.
And see I called it...like all good "John Hughes" movies the couple always breaks up at the big dance..fear not they will reunite.
The End………………….
A Total Shoot-Out to TeleVista for making me realize what I was missing giving up Tequila for two weeks. You are the devil, but in a good way.
Now then in an unexpected move tomorrow evening SanWanna is wailing on two girls Hil brought home..Hil a threesome? Ewwww
Gavi & Clarita are crying…
Rod is this close from a Sofie smack down..she doesn’t want Gavi to come to the Hacienda..
While I do not condone sibling abuse I would be willing to look the other way in this case.

Amar sin Limites 49—PAAAACO!
We being where we ended last time with Eva and Diego in their unfortunate sweaters discussing how Diego really likes Eva…but Eva already knows that he’s in love with somebody else. Diego still seems to be suffering from gripe (a cold) or at least that’s what he sounds like.
Eva says she’s tough, and she leaves, sniffing a bit to get get some documents she says.
Meanwhile at Mo’s palace of malice, Mo himself is giving a tour to some guy, explaining that there are people who want to bust into his crib. “Anybody in particular?” The guy asks. “You’ll find out eventually, “says Mo. “I don’t want the people who work here to be bothered.” It does sound like a job interview for Andres’ replacement.
Azul scoots past and Mo runs up all smiley and happy, pretending to be the desperate dumped boyfriend. Azul has her back to him and pouts and scowls. “It’s so good that you’re here” he beams.
Meanwhile back at the hotel, Diego finds Paco’s ID in Eva’s purse and stares at it, flaring his nostrils. I guess that’s impactado for him. He hastily puts it back and pretends to be reading the paper when Eva comes back. She hands him the documents and he leaves on the errand.
After he and his unfortunate pink sweater go, Eva thought bubbles tearfully about how much she needs him. Now more than ever.
Back at the Mansion, Azul explains that she’s only there because Caty called her crying. Mo pretends to be surprised and shocked. (Of course we saw him in the last episode put the nanny and Caty up to the call). Caty runs in schreeching her little head off. She’s wearing a princess outfit complete with Tiara. Caty is still upset that Azul won’t be her mommy. Mo tries to make like he and Caty already had the discussion about Azul but Azul brushes him off and leaves with Princess Caty. After they go, Mo smiles slyly. Whatever he’s got planned, it’s working.
We switch to the hospital, where Arnoldo is grimly waiting outside the ICU where Inez is after her suicide attempt. (He does look much better without the beard.) GSD shows up and asks for an update. Just then the Doctor shows up and the news isn’t good. She took a lot of [some kind of] drugs. Her respiratory system was affected. The kind of drugs she took only rarely cause death, just a lot of damage and even permanent coma. (THUNDER!) GSD is incredulous. Arnoldo asks for clarification. “Are you saying that my Aunt, even if she wakes up, could remain damaged? “Not be able to walk or talk?” The doctor agrees, and gives the traditional we’ll have to wait and see answer.
Over to Isela and Silvana, who is explaining that she had a fight with her mom over whether Mom should go have a face to face meeting with one of her phone sex clients. Isela is surprised to hear about Mom’s side business. At first Silvana is embarrassed but Isela says it’s not too common to meet someone in this line of work, but hey, she’s open minded. Silvana says that at first she thought it was awful but her mom says that she “helps” a lot of people. Isela says phone sex operators are sometimes the only women who will listen to these guys. (Really? Phone sex operator=psychiatrist? Who knew?) Silvana is more worried about mom meeting this guy. Isela agrees with her that the guy could be an ax murder or something. But the fight didn’t turn out well. It ended up with Mom packing a suitcase and leaving, saying that she was tired of being stuck at home. Now Silvana is really worried. Isela is sympathetic some more. “She’ll come back.” Silvana goes into her litany of woe. Her mom never loved her, she lost her son…etc. etc. Isela tells her to cut it out. Not to dwell on her injuries but not to be trapped in them. She’s young and should move on. Besides Flavio really likes her. And just then, there’s Flavio waiting on a table nearby, grinning at Silvana like jack-o’-lantern. A handsome one.
Back at the hospital Arnoldo is lamenting that his Aunt is a vegetable. GSD is ticked that she took the pills, that she wouldn’t move on from their affair and then he’s ticked that Arnoldo might be blaming him. Arnoldo says no, he’s not. A nurse comes in and says GSD can go in and visit her for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, Arnoldo calls Azul and leaves a message to call him, that there’s bad news about Tia Inez. GSD uses the opportunity to upbraid the comatose Inez for taking the pills. He tells her he wants her to get well.
We are back with pink sweatered Diego who is with Efrain, still hounding him about Abuelo’s murder. Now Diego is linking Paco’s disappearance with Abuelo’s murder, thanks to the ID card he found in Eva’s purse. He brings this information to Efrain who at first thinks he’s crazy. When Diego tells him about the ID card, Efrain gives in and tells him that Ivan threatened his son. Diego is about to go off and confront Ivan and Eva and Efrain tries to stop him, saying “you just told me these guys were a much of mafiosos and killers!” Diego wants to avenge Paco, his best friend and won’t be stopped.
Lidia is walking along carrying her wedding photos, trips and drops them as she stoops to pick them, someone picks one up and hands it to her, saying “You missed this one, honey…” It’s none other than Piero’s ex-whatever, Lucia. She confronts her about her lying to her earlier about having an affair with her husband. Lidia tells her that she initially thought they were just having fun but …but your boyfriend found out about it, finishes Lucia. She also tells Lidia that she left her poor boyfriend for Piero, who she thought was rich but she’s about to find out that he’s got nothing. Lidia counters that he’s already found a job and even gotten a job for her dad. Piero’s ex seems impactada by this. Lida puruses the photos and remarks about how nice she looked as a bride. Another slight to the startled erstwhile Mrs. Piero whose eyes are open wide.
Our Diego is now on the march, back to Eva’s hotel room. If he was going for a confrontation, he really should have changed out of that pink sweater. He gets to the door and one of Ivan’s guys is there who tells him that she’s not in. He doesn’t buy it and starts screaming for her outside the door. Another of Ivan’s guys shows up and asks if there is a problem. Diego decides it’s better to go and come back later. He screams that he knows she’s in there, and that she just doesn’t want to show her face to him. He walks off. Nearly immediately Eva pokes her head out to give the security guys a figurative pat on the back and to let them know that she still doesn’t want him back.
Now a new venue—Anibal is on the phone, in a suit in his office. The phone rings, he answers it and looks surprised. Shortly after, another guy in a suit enters. I guess he’s a police detective because he tells him that they’ve found some bodies…and one of them fits Paco’s description. (THUNDER!) Anibal asks if they are sure and he says no, that’s why he’s there, to get Anibal to come down to the morgue to ID the body. (Ewww! Gross! Paco’s been dead for weeks now-- underground in a hole then left out for the animals to feed on. Come on, aren’t there dental records? Clothing? You’ve got to be kidding me!) Anibal looks grim, then nods and gets up to follow the detective.
Meanwhile, Lidia is whining to Piero that Lucia came and dissed her. Piero is all lovey dovey and claims he wishes he had been there to defend her. Then they get all disgusting kissy face as Lidia wants a roll in the hay and Piero says he has to go to work. He promises her that they’ll go on a honeymoon to Europe instead of Los Cabos as they planned. Lidia complains something about her Dad signing a contract with him but not actually starting his job yet…why is that? And Piero says something about “awaiting orders” from his new boss. All the while they are sucking face out in the open in what looks like a park.
Over at the casa malicia, Leonarda is upbraiding the maid/nanny that she gave her a yogurt with a past expiration date. “What, you want kill me?” She demands that she get her a new one. The maid is all apologetic. This is hilarious. For one thing, can yogurt actually go bad? It’s already kind of fermented anyway. Also, here is Leonarda, who has been shot with a lethal virus (or so she thinks) worrying about whether expired yogurt will kill her. Leonarda, honey, lets look at the big picture here… Meanwhile, Ivan is lurking in the background. Leonarda insultingly tells him that Mo isn’t in his office and asks where he is going. Ivan tells her never to speak that way to him again. “would you dare hit a woman?” challenges Leo. “A woman no, says Ivan but a witch, yes” replies Ivan. Leo has nothing to respond to that. Ivan asks where Mo is. Leo tells him that he’s busy. Ivan yells at her to call him and that he’ll be waiting in the office. Leo huffs off.
Diego and his pink sweater arrive at casa Azul and Ceci. He has something really really important to tell her…about Paco. Ceci stalls him a bit but then tells him she’s at Mauricio’s house. He won’t listen to the rest. He takes off. (This is the scene that we saw in the previews yesterday that Chris documented as a sure precursor to Diego and Azul breaking up for the millionth time.)
Meanwhile, Azul is trying to explain to Caty, that although she and her daddy aren’t getting married, and don’t love eachother THAT way anymore, they still have happy memories. Caty is pretty dense and asks if Azul can still be her mommy even if she and her daddy aren’t going to get married. Azul tries to give her a hug and reassure her. Outside, Mo is lurking and listening to this conversation. Leo shows up and tells him that Ivan’s waiting for him. Mo tells her to tell him he’s busy—this is more important than anything else. Leo looks puzzled but leaves. Mo goes into the room and flops on the bed next to Azul and Caty who are sitting on the floor. Caty asks him if Azul can still come and visit her. Mo says, sure, “the doors of this house will always be open to Azul.” He leaves, telling them that he’ll let them play. As he turns and walks away, he’s got an evil grin.
Leo is talking elsewhere with Andres. Andres is looking a little worse for wear these days with all the beatings he’s been getting. He’s got a black eye and a bruise on his broken nose that makes him look like he’s wearing a mask. She’s bitching that Ivan wasn’t just happy with infecting her with the toxin, now he’s treating her rudely. (Lady, por favor, get some perspective!) Andres swears that Ivan will pay. Leo tells him that Mo is busy with Azul. Andres says he’ll give Ivan the reception he deserves. (Not a good idea, Andres! Seems like you’ve been on the short end of all of the previous “receptions.” )
Ivan isn’t just sitting around, either. He’s been busy planting more bugs in Mo’s office. Then he starts taking pictures of all of the paintings in the office with his cell. (I am remembering now that he discussed something about these paintings with Eva but I can’t remember exactly what).
Azul is trying to leave and whiney Caty is boohooing about how lonely she will be when Azul goes. Azul gives her a doll and tells her that when she’s lonely she can talk to the doll and the doll will tell Azul everything while Caty is asleep. (That actually sounds a little creepy). Caty will call the doll Marazul or Mariazul or something like that. Azul gets up and Caty starts in with “When are you coming back?”
Back in Mo’s office, Ivan already has Andres immobilized and wincing. Ivan tells him to get out of his way and makes a crack about Andres’ [old ]lady lover. Mo bursts in just as Ivan heaves Andres to the floor. He’s followed by the new security guy. Mo tries to get Andres to leave and Andres protests saying that they have unfinished business. Mo boots him anyway saying they will talk later. Andres leaves in a huff. Mo yells that just because he’s Eva’s security guy he doesn’t have the right to interfere with his people. Ivan points out that Eva is underwriting the place. Mo doesn’t like this and yells some more and the new security guy whips out a semiautomatic and asks Mo if he should dispatch Ivan. Ivan doesn’t even flinch, nor does Mo, who tells him no. “He’s just a messenger.” “tell me what the message is.” he says to Ivan. Ivan wants an update on GSD. Mo tells him that GSD is back with him, that he’s going to be arriving any minute. He adds that Azul is also back and that “soon everything will be back to normal.” Ivan seems agreeable to this news and Mo tells Jacinto, the new guy to “accompany Mr. Zukov to his car.” Jacinto taps Ivan on the arm and Ivan gives him a look. He smiles and turns to go. In the next scene after the commercial break, we see what the look means when Ivan and Jacinto confer on the way to Ivan’s car—Ivan tells him that they are now about to begin the next phase—to get GSD’s research.
We are back at Isela’s café where Silvana and Flavio are talking. Silvana apologizes for her dour attitude. She knows that her son wouldn’t want his mom to be defeated but to be strong. Flavio likes the sound of that. They hug.
Ivan is giving his final instructions to Jacinto. When the new yogurts arrive from the store, he’s to inject them with rat poison (an anti-coagulant).
GSD has arrived and is walking across the campus of the mansion toward the lab. Jacinto follows in his wake.
At the hospital, Arnaldo is at Inez’ beside when Julio arrives. He’s brought him a cappuccino..the way he likes it…and he explains that he decided to wait until he was sure that GSD was gone, since he was sure that it wasn’t the right moment for them to meet for the first time. Arnoldo is kind of dozy and pauses before thanking Julio. Julio asks how she is. Arnoldo tells him that she’s still not reacting.
Over at Isela's café, Isela asks Silvana how it went with Flavio. Silvana tells her that she followed her advice and that they are going to start dating. Silvana admits that he will help her get her groove back since she lost Diego. She knows that nothing will separate Diego and Azul. Then Isela uses an expression that I couldn’t quite catch, something like –“hay un focan al cubano las batterias, mi Chula.” I know mi chula, means “my pretty.” Maybe somebody can help me out on the rest of the saying? Something about putting out a fire with another fire?
Azul is on her way out and Mo catches up to her to ask where she left things with Caty. Azul explains that she’ll come to visit her a few more times to help with the adjustment. Mo tells her that he’ll try to get Caty to understand. Mo gets all chokey voiced and tells her that it hasn’t been easy for him. Azul tells him not to confuse her trying to be nice to Caty and their relationship, which is over, forever. Azul gives him back the key to the car he gave her. And he gives her the keys to her apartment. Meanwhile, she has been looking worse and worse this whole time and is obviously getting lightheaded. She faints just in time for Diego to see her. Mo carries her back into the house. Diego tries follow and two security guys grab him and refuse to let him in.
In the lab, GSD takes a call from Arnoldo who has exceeded his credit limit on the deposit on the hospital bill. GSD agrees to pay the bill and says he’ll come by later. After he hangs up, Jacinto comes in. GSD asks him why he’s been following him and Jacinto explains that he’s the new head of security. And he’s not following him, just making the rounds on the new job. GSD asks if he knows if Mo is in the house and when Jacinto responds affirmatively, GSD leaves the lab. Jacinto looks around and at the lab on the camera and follows him out.
As they pass the gate where Diego is being roughed up by the guards, Jacinto asks what’s going on. Diego is surprised to see GSD there. GSD vouches for Diego. Diego wants to know why he has come back. Before answering, GSD tells the guards to leave. But he doesn’t use the opportunity to say anything worthwhile to Diego. He tells him that he’s decided to fulfill his contract, that he’s not sure that Mo is a bad guy after all. When Diego brings up Azul, GSD gets all excited and tells him that Azul has nothing to do with this, that they took separate decisions. Diego seems to get the idea from this that Azul and Mo are back together because he starts to get all flustered and weepy. GSD leaves him with this impression since he goes on to say that “Azul and Mauricio are…”he never finishes the sentence. In order to keep him from knowing she’s infected, he’d rather he believe that she dumped him. Diego walks away in a huff and GSD looks like he needs a cigarette.
Back in Mo’s office Mo thought bubbles to the unconscious Azul that “everything was going fine until you fell in love with that idiot, Diego. The maid rushes in with some ammonia or something to wake her. She stirs and just then GSD rushes in and asks what’s going on and why she is there. Azul asks him the same and tells him that she came to visit Caty. He insists on knowing what she felt like before she fainted. She resists telling him again. The maid rushes in with a tray and Mo gives her something to drink and GSD looks at the can. She drinks it, grimaces and puts it down. She gets up to leave and Mo offers to drive her home. GSD tells him no, he’ll drive her home. He has to go anyway. After he goes, who should be hanging around but Leonarda. Leonarda remarks on how fast Azul seems to be going down, especially compared to her, since they were both infected around the same time. Mo says not to be so sure and by the way, what is all the hate for Azul. Leo explains that she hated her when she thought that she was going to usurp her role as mistress of the mansion malicia. But now that she’s not going to be doing that, she feels sorry for her.
Mo is skeptical of her “feeling sorry” but Leo decides to offer him advice. She says that he should be careful. She has noticed the way that he has been looking at Azul and that love has a way of entrapping you, even in your own trap. Mo protests that he never felt anything for Azul, that his wanting to marry her was only for convenience. And by the way, he adds, she needs to be controlling Andres a little better, not letting him get in Ivan’s face. She tells that Andres went after Ivan most recently to defend her. Mo interrupts—“control him, Leonarda!” “Ivan is not like your dead husband. He knows how to defend himself. And you could lose your beloved Andres forever.” Mo gets up and leaves. Leo would probably be impactada if she weren’t such a bad plastic surgery victim.
Next we have Ceci at one of the gates trying to bust in. Jacinto is there trying to keep her out. Andres shows up. She explains that she’s looking for Azul. Andres takes charge and Jacinto leaves. Andres tries to explain why he hasn’t been by but she’s not listening. She knows that he loves Leonarda more than her (if she only knew!!) Andres tries to tell her that Azul left already with her Dad but she doesn’t believe him, she doesn’t even think he’s telling the truth about GSD working there. When he tells her that Azul wasn’t feeling well, Ceci decides to believe him and turns to go. Now Andres wants her to stay and listen to him. He wants to talk about their relationship. (Now I am starting to think he’s gay.) Ceci says "what kind of relationship when you look at me like you want me [not sure about this—it was very fast] and then you get furious when I talk about Leonarda." He still wants to explain. She has an orange flashback of Eva telling her to be careful with Andres. Andres tells her that if he hasn’t wanted her because…he has some problems. Ceci cuts him off, saying that she knows he’s complicated and that she’s complicated and that it would be better if they didn’t see eachother for awhile. (She has a tear rolling down her cheek). Before she can get away, he tells her he loves her, grabs her and kisses her passionately. She doesn’t pull away. In the distance, back in the courtyard, Leonarda sees them and clenches her fists in rage.
In the promo for tomorrow: Azul gets sicker, GSS tries to save her, Mo threatens her life some more and Diego finds out that Azul’s life is at stake. Will Diego become another victim? On the last one, survey says NOOO! All I want to know is, will Diego still be wearing that sweater?
Eva says she’s tough, and she leaves, sniffing a bit to get get some documents she says.
Meanwhile at Mo’s palace of malice, Mo himself is giving a tour to some guy, explaining that there are people who want to bust into his crib. “Anybody in particular?” The guy asks. “You’ll find out eventually, “says Mo. “I don’t want the people who work here to be bothered.” It does sound like a job interview for Andres’ replacement.
Azul scoots past and Mo runs up all smiley and happy, pretending to be the desperate dumped boyfriend. Azul has her back to him and pouts and scowls. “It’s so good that you’re here” he beams.
Meanwhile back at the hotel, Diego finds Paco’s ID in Eva’s purse and stares at it, flaring his nostrils. I guess that’s impactado for him. He hastily puts it back and pretends to be reading the paper when Eva comes back. She hands him the documents and he leaves on the errand.
After he and his unfortunate pink sweater go, Eva thought bubbles tearfully about how much she needs him. Now more than ever.
Back at the Mansion, Azul explains that she’s only there because Caty called her crying. Mo pretends to be surprised and shocked. (Of course we saw him in the last episode put the nanny and Caty up to the call). Caty runs in schreeching her little head off. She’s wearing a princess outfit complete with Tiara. Caty is still upset that Azul won’t be her mommy. Mo tries to make like he and Caty already had the discussion about Azul but Azul brushes him off and leaves with Princess Caty. After they go, Mo smiles slyly. Whatever he’s got planned, it’s working.
We switch to the hospital, where Arnoldo is grimly waiting outside the ICU where Inez is after her suicide attempt. (He does look much better without the beard.) GSD shows up and asks for an update. Just then the Doctor shows up and the news isn’t good. She took a lot of [some kind of] drugs. Her respiratory system was affected. The kind of drugs she took only rarely cause death, just a lot of damage and even permanent coma. (THUNDER!) GSD is incredulous. Arnoldo asks for clarification. “Are you saying that my Aunt, even if she wakes up, could remain damaged? “Not be able to walk or talk?” The doctor agrees, and gives the traditional we’ll have to wait and see answer.
Over to Isela and Silvana, who is explaining that she had a fight with her mom over whether Mom should go have a face to face meeting with one of her phone sex clients. Isela is surprised to hear about Mom’s side business. At first Silvana is embarrassed but Isela says it’s not too common to meet someone in this line of work, but hey, she’s open minded. Silvana says that at first she thought it was awful but her mom says that she “helps” a lot of people. Isela says phone sex operators are sometimes the only women who will listen to these guys. (Really? Phone sex operator=psychiatrist? Who knew?) Silvana is more worried about mom meeting this guy. Isela agrees with her that the guy could be an ax murder or something. But the fight didn’t turn out well. It ended up with Mom packing a suitcase and leaving, saying that she was tired of being stuck at home. Now Silvana is really worried. Isela is sympathetic some more. “She’ll come back.” Silvana goes into her litany of woe. Her mom never loved her, she lost her son…etc. etc. Isela tells her to cut it out. Not to dwell on her injuries but not to be trapped in them. She’s young and should move on. Besides Flavio really likes her. And just then, there’s Flavio waiting on a table nearby, grinning at Silvana like jack-o’-lantern. A handsome one.
Back at the hospital Arnoldo is lamenting that his Aunt is a vegetable. GSD is ticked that she took the pills, that she wouldn’t move on from their affair and then he’s ticked that Arnoldo might be blaming him. Arnoldo says no, he’s not. A nurse comes in and says GSD can go in and visit her for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, Arnoldo calls Azul and leaves a message to call him, that there’s bad news about Tia Inez. GSD uses the opportunity to upbraid the comatose Inez for taking the pills. He tells her he wants her to get well.
We are back with pink sweatered Diego who is with Efrain, still hounding him about Abuelo’s murder. Now Diego is linking Paco’s disappearance with Abuelo’s murder, thanks to the ID card he found in Eva’s purse. He brings this information to Efrain who at first thinks he’s crazy. When Diego tells him about the ID card, Efrain gives in and tells him that Ivan threatened his son. Diego is about to go off and confront Ivan and Eva and Efrain tries to stop him, saying “you just told me these guys were a much of mafiosos and killers!” Diego wants to avenge Paco, his best friend and won’t be stopped.
Lidia is walking along carrying her wedding photos, trips and drops them as she stoops to pick them, someone picks one up and hands it to her, saying “You missed this one, honey…” It’s none other than Piero’s ex-whatever, Lucia. She confronts her about her lying to her earlier about having an affair with her husband. Lidia tells her that she initially thought they were just having fun but …but your boyfriend found out about it, finishes Lucia. She also tells Lidia that she left her poor boyfriend for Piero, who she thought was rich but she’s about to find out that he’s got nothing. Lidia counters that he’s already found a job and even gotten a job for her dad. Piero’s ex seems impactada by this. Lida puruses the photos and remarks about how nice she looked as a bride. Another slight to the startled erstwhile Mrs. Piero whose eyes are open wide.
Our Diego is now on the march, back to Eva’s hotel room. If he was going for a confrontation, he really should have changed out of that pink sweater. He gets to the door and one of Ivan’s guys is there who tells him that she’s not in. He doesn’t buy it and starts screaming for her outside the door. Another of Ivan’s guys shows up and asks if there is a problem. Diego decides it’s better to go and come back later. He screams that he knows she’s in there, and that she just doesn’t want to show her face to him. He walks off. Nearly immediately Eva pokes her head out to give the security guys a figurative pat on the back and to let them know that she still doesn’t want him back.
Now a new venue—Anibal is on the phone, in a suit in his office. The phone rings, he answers it and looks surprised. Shortly after, another guy in a suit enters. I guess he’s a police detective because he tells him that they’ve found some bodies…and one of them fits Paco’s description. (THUNDER!) Anibal asks if they are sure and he says no, that’s why he’s there, to get Anibal to come down to the morgue to ID the body. (Ewww! Gross! Paco’s been dead for weeks now-- underground in a hole then left out for the animals to feed on. Come on, aren’t there dental records? Clothing? You’ve got to be kidding me!) Anibal looks grim, then nods and gets up to follow the detective.
Meanwhile, Lidia is whining to Piero that Lucia came and dissed her. Piero is all lovey dovey and claims he wishes he had been there to defend her. Then they get all disgusting kissy face as Lidia wants a roll in the hay and Piero says he has to go to work. He promises her that they’ll go on a honeymoon to Europe instead of Los Cabos as they planned. Lidia complains something about her Dad signing a contract with him but not actually starting his job yet…why is that? And Piero says something about “awaiting orders” from his new boss. All the while they are sucking face out in the open in what looks like a park.
Over at the casa malicia, Leonarda is upbraiding the maid/nanny that she gave her a yogurt with a past expiration date. “What, you want kill me?” She demands that she get her a new one. The maid is all apologetic. This is hilarious. For one thing, can yogurt actually go bad? It’s already kind of fermented anyway. Also, here is Leonarda, who has been shot with a lethal virus (or so she thinks) worrying about whether expired yogurt will kill her. Leonarda, honey, lets look at the big picture here… Meanwhile, Ivan is lurking in the background. Leonarda insultingly tells him that Mo isn’t in his office and asks where he is going. Ivan tells her never to speak that way to him again. “would you dare hit a woman?” challenges Leo. “A woman no, says Ivan but a witch, yes” replies Ivan. Leo has nothing to respond to that. Ivan asks where Mo is. Leo tells him that he’s busy. Ivan yells at her to call him and that he’ll be waiting in the office. Leo huffs off.
Diego and his pink sweater arrive at casa Azul and Ceci. He has something really really important to tell her…about Paco. Ceci stalls him a bit but then tells him she’s at Mauricio’s house. He won’t listen to the rest. He takes off. (This is the scene that we saw in the previews yesterday that Chris documented as a sure precursor to Diego and Azul breaking up for the millionth time.)
Meanwhile, Azul is trying to explain to Caty, that although she and her daddy aren’t getting married, and don’t love eachother THAT way anymore, they still have happy memories. Caty is pretty dense and asks if Azul can still be her mommy even if she and her daddy aren’t going to get married. Azul tries to give her a hug and reassure her. Outside, Mo is lurking and listening to this conversation. Leo shows up and tells him that Ivan’s waiting for him. Mo tells her to tell him he’s busy—this is more important than anything else. Leo looks puzzled but leaves. Mo goes into the room and flops on the bed next to Azul and Caty who are sitting on the floor. Caty asks him if Azul can still come and visit her. Mo says, sure, “the doors of this house will always be open to Azul.” He leaves, telling them that he’ll let them play. As he turns and walks away, he’s got an evil grin.
Leo is talking elsewhere with Andres. Andres is looking a little worse for wear these days with all the beatings he’s been getting. He’s got a black eye and a bruise on his broken nose that makes him look like he’s wearing a mask. She’s bitching that Ivan wasn’t just happy with infecting her with the toxin, now he’s treating her rudely. (Lady, por favor, get some perspective!) Andres swears that Ivan will pay. Leo tells him that Mo is busy with Azul. Andres says he’ll give Ivan the reception he deserves. (Not a good idea, Andres! Seems like you’ve been on the short end of all of the previous “receptions.” )
Ivan isn’t just sitting around, either. He’s been busy planting more bugs in Mo’s office. Then he starts taking pictures of all of the paintings in the office with his cell. (I am remembering now that he discussed something about these paintings with Eva but I can’t remember exactly what).
Azul is trying to leave and whiney Caty is boohooing about how lonely she will be when Azul goes. Azul gives her a doll and tells her that when she’s lonely she can talk to the doll and the doll will tell Azul everything while Caty is asleep. (That actually sounds a little creepy). Caty will call the doll Marazul or Mariazul or something like that. Azul gets up and Caty starts in with “When are you coming back?”
Back in Mo’s office, Ivan already has Andres immobilized and wincing. Ivan tells him to get out of his way and makes a crack about Andres’ [old ]lady lover. Mo bursts in just as Ivan heaves Andres to the floor. He’s followed by the new security guy. Mo tries to get Andres to leave and Andres protests saying that they have unfinished business. Mo boots him anyway saying they will talk later. Andres leaves in a huff. Mo yells that just because he’s Eva’s security guy he doesn’t have the right to interfere with his people. Ivan points out that Eva is underwriting the place. Mo doesn’t like this and yells some more and the new security guy whips out a semiautomatic and asks Mo if he should dispatch Ivan. Ivan doesn’t even flinch, nor does Mo, who tells him no. “He’s just a messenger.” “tell me what the message is.” he says to Ivan. Ivan wants an update on GSD. Mo tells him that GSD is back with him, that he’s going to be arriving any minute. He adds that Azul is also back and that “soon everything will be back to normal.” Ivan seems agreeable to this news and Mo tells Jacinto, the new guy to “accompany Mr. Zukov to his car.” Jacinto taps Ivan on the arm and Ivan gives him a look. He smiles and turns to go. In the next scene after the commercial break, we see what the look means when Ivan and Jacinto confer on the way to Ivan’s car—Ivan tells him that they are now about to begin the next phase—to get GSD’s research.
We are back at Isela’s café where Silvana and Flavio are talking. Silvana apologizes for her dour attitude. She knows that her son wouldn’t want his mom to be defeated but to be strong. Flavio likes the sound of that. They hug.
Ivan is giving his final instructions to Jacinto. When the new yogurts arrive from the store, he’s to inject them with rat poison (an anti-coagulant).
GSD has arrived and is walking across the campus of the mansion toward the lab. Jacinto follows in his wake.
At the hospital, Arnaldo is at Inez’ beside when Julio arrives. He’s brought him a cappuccino..the way he likes it…and he explains that he decided to wait until he was sure that GSD was gone, since he was sure that it wasn’t the right moment for them to meet for the first time. Arnoldo is kind of dozy and pauses before thanking Julio. Julio asks how she is. Arnoldo tells him that she’s still not reacting.
Over at Isela's café, Isela asks Silvana how it went with Flavio. Silvana tells her that she followed her advice and that they are going to start dating. Silvana admits that he will help her get her groove back since she lost Diego. She knows that nothing will separate Diego and Azul. Then Isela uses an expression that I couldn’t quite catch, something like –“hay un focan al cubano las batterias, mi Chula.” I know mi chula, means “my pretty.” Maybe somebody can help me out on the rest of the saying? Something about putting out a fire with another fire?
Azul is on her way out and Mo catches up to her to ask where she left things with Caty. Azul explains that she’ll come to visit her a few more times to help with the adjustment. Mo tells her that he’ll try to get Caty to understand. Mo gets all chokey voiced and tells her that it hasn’t been easy for him. Azul tells him not to confuse her trying to be nice to Caty and their relationship, which is over, forever. Azul gives him back the key to the car he gave her. And he gives her the keys to her apartment. Meanwhile, she has been looking worse and worse this whole time and is obviously getting lightheaded. She faints just in time for Diego to see her. Mo carries her back into the house. Diego tries follow and two security guys grab him and refuse to let him in.
In the lab, GSD takes a call from Arnoldo who has exceeded his credit limit on the deposit on the hospital bill. GSD agrees to pay the bill and says he’ll come by later. After he hangs up, Jacinto comes in. GSD asks him why he’s been following him and Jacinto explains that he’s the new head of security. And he’s not following him, just making the rounds on the new job. GSD asks if he knows if Mo is in the house and when Jacinto responds affirmatively, GSD leaves the lab. Jacinto looks around and at the lab on the camera and follows him out.
As they pass the gate where Diego is being roughed up by the guards, Jacinto asks what’s going on. Diego is surprised to see GSD there. GSD vouches for Diego. Diego wants to know why he has come back. Before answering, GSD tells the guards to leave. But he doesn’t use the opportunity to say anything worthwhile to Diego. He tells him that he’s decided to fulfill his contract, that he’s not sure that Mo is a bad guy after all. When Diego brings up Azul, GSD gets all excited and tells him that Azul has nothing to do with this, that they took separate decisions. Diego seems to get the idea from this that Azul and Mo are back together because he starts to get all flustered and weepy. GSD leaves him with this impression since he goes on to say that “Azul and Mauricio are…”he never finishes the sentence. In order to keep him from knowing she’s infected, he’d rather he believe that she dumped him. Diego walks away in a huff and GSD looks like he needs a cigarette.
Back in Mo’s office Mo thought bubbles to the unconscious Azul that “everything was going fine until you fell in love with that idiot, Diego. The maid rushes in with some ammonia or something to wake her. She stirs and just then GSD rushes in and asks what’s going on and why she is there. Azul asks him the same and tells him that she came to visit Caty. He insists on knowing what she felt like before she fainted. She resists telling him again. The maid rushes in with a tray and Mo gives her something to drink and GSD looks at the can. She drinks it, grimaces and puts it down. She gets up to leave and Mo offers to drive her home. GSD tells him no, he’ll drive her home. He has to go anyway. After he goes, who should be hanging around but Leonarda. Leonarda remarks on how fast Azul seems to be going down, especially compared to her, since they were both infected around the same time. Mo says not to be so sure and by the way, what is all the hate for Azul. Leo explains that she hated her when she thought that she was going to usurp her role as mistress of the mansion malicia. But now that she’s not going to be doing that, she feels sorry for her.
Mo is skeptical of her “feeling sorry” but Leo decides to offer him advice. She says that he should be careful. She has noticed the way that he has been looking at Azul and that love has a way of entrapping you, even in your own trap. Mo protests that he never felt anything for Azul, that his wanting to marry her was only for convenience. And by the way, he adds, she needs to be controlling Andres a little better, not letting him get in Ivan’s face. She tells that Andres went after Ivan most recently to defend her. Mo interrupts—“control him, Leonarda!” “Ivan is not like your dead husband. He knows how to defend himself. And you could lose your beloved Andres forever.” Mo gets up and leaves. Leo would probably be impactada if she weren’t such a bad plastic surgery victim.
Next we have Ceci at one of the gates trying to bust in. Jacinto is there trying to keep her out. Andres shows up. She explains that she’s looking for Azul. Andres takes charge and Jacinto leaves. Andres tries to explain why he hasn’t been by but she’s not listening. She knows that he loves Leonarda more than her (if she only knew!!) Andres tries to tell her that Azul left already with her Dad but she doesn’t believe him, she doesn’t even think he’s telling the truth about GSD working there. When he tells her that Azul wasn’t feeling well, Ceci decides to believe him and turns to go. Now Andres wants her to stay and listen to him. He wants to talk about their relationship. (Now I am starting to think he’s gay.) Ceci says "what kind of relationship when you look at me like you want me [not sure about this—it was very fast] and then you get furious when I talk about Leonarda." He still wants to explain. She has an orange flashback of Eva telling her to be careful with Andres. Andres tells her that if he hasn’t wanted her because…he has some problems. Ceci cuts him off, saying that she knows he’s complicated and that she’s complicated and that it would be better if they didn’t see eachother for awhile. (She has a tear rolling down her cheek). Before she can get away, he tells her he loves her, grabs her and kisses her passionately. She doesn’t pull away. In the distance, back in the courtyard, Leonarda sees them and clenches her fists in rage.
In the promo for tomorrow: Azul gets sicker, GSS tries to save her, Mo threatens her life some more and Diego finds out that Azul’s life is at stake. Will Diego become another victim? On the last one, survey says NOOO! All I want to know is, will Diego still be wearing that sweater?

Acorralada #178 Monday 9/24/07 Surprise Ending!
We start with Yolanda telling all of Octavia's secrets to Detective Gomez. Isn't it funny how there just happened to be a cop on the street when she needed one? People have been attacked, shot, and raped on this show, but this is first time a cop was around when it happened! After Yolanda tells her tale, Gomez arrests her for not telling Octavia's crimes sooner.
Meanwhile, Octy is hiding out with Isabel and Iggy. Iggy wastes no time in trying to snuggle up to Octavia. You know she's not going for that! But she'd rather hide out with them than risk prison, and she knows that her sister the traitor is ratting her out to the police.
Marcela's still in the hospital after her miscarriage, and it looks like Marcela and Madrina will be leaving Miami, for siempre.
Max comes to see Yolanda, and she tells him everything. She's been like a mother to him, and he's not going to abandon her now. He'll hire Roddy to defend her.
Pobre de Roddy... the only party he's getting today is Fedora's pity party... she asks about Sharon and he says that she's still in the mental hospital. (I wonder why Sharon's in a "clinica mental" and Max was in a "manicomio.")
Speaking of the mental hospital, the Doc there shows Sharon a pic of her mama and wants to talk about how much she loved Sharon. He even mentions that he was there when she was baptized. Sharon goes off on a tangent about how her mom never loved her, if she did, she would have found her a father.
Down in Santo Domingo, Pancho's plan is working like a charm. Triple Fea tells her that she has no family, her daddy died and left her everything... well, she does have a prima, or primo -- he's a transvestite and she's invited him to come for a visit! Then she starts talking about marriage and babies, next thing you know she's proposing to Pancho.
The mariposas are all excited about going to Santo Domingo for a visit, and Silvia's coming along too! Jorge warns her not to be down there flirting with other men or he may be with someone else when she gets back! Silvia's not threatened. Somehow she's reminded of Pancho and starts talkin' trash about what she'd do if she ever saw him again...
Little Maxito is back on the show - he's been absent for weeks! He's hanging out with mama at psycho mansion when the doorbell rings and his daddy walks in. We see a few moments of happy family time as they play with prince Maxito. But that's not what Max has come for, he's there to talk to Gaviota, so they pass Maxito off to Miguelina, who comments about how his parents are dying of love for each other. Gag!
Speaking of gag, Gaby's in her room daydreaming about Larry again. I love the Larry and Gaby scenes, but enough of all of the daydreams! Geez.
Fedora's laying in bed when Diana announces that Max is here to talk to her. He comes in and tells her how sorry he is for what's happened, and lets her know that his mom was the one who brought the tarantula to the hospital. Fedora is impacatada!
After the big reveal, Max and Diana return to the living room and play with Maxito for a while, when she offers to let him take Maxito for the night. She packs up an overnight bag and is about to send them on their way when Dr. Leo arrives unannounced. He's come to invite Diana to his place for dinner tonight. Max quickly excuses himself while Diana stands there looking clueless. After Max leaves, she tells Leo that she can't go tonight because her mom needs her support.
Emilio's at Max's place, and Max is upset. Emilio assumes that it's because his mom is on the run so that she doesn't go to prison for multiple murders and other crimes, or maybe because Yolanda is in jail for being an accomplice, but no, that's not it. He's upset because Diana is having dinner with another man.
Speaking of obsessive guys, Paco arrives at psycho mansion and storms through the door insisting that he see Fedora. Roddy and he end up throwing some punches, and Paco gets the boot.
Max comes back with Maxito... I'm assuming it's the next day considering that he's talking about all of the things they did last night and this morning, but it's funny that both he and Diana are wearing the same clothes as last night. He tells Diana that Maxito is still in the car, and they should go get him together. Too bad Diego's at the doorway with a gun. If he can't have Diana, nobody can! And he SHOOTS MAX! Credits roll.
Meanwhile, Octy is hiding out with Isabel and Iggy. Iggy wastes no time in trying to snuggle up to Octavia. You know she's not going for that! But she'd rather hide out with them than risk prison, and she knows that her sister the traitor is ratting her out to the police.

9/24 Juan Querendon
[Hola amigos, I want to apologize for my three week hiatus. I am back to recapping Monday's JQ. Gracias for your patience:) ]
We begin with Paula calling Marely into her office to talk about her automobile predicament and her concern about Juan being left without a job. Marely suggests that she purchase one, but only use it on the weekends. Paula said that Cesar Luis suggested the same thing. Paula tells Marely about her plans to go to CL's with a friend (male acquaintance), however she does not have one in mind and is puzzled about who it will be.
CL's wife is telling her maid about Paula's plans to attend with an escort. She is concerned that she did not mention it to her, but did mention it to CL.
Senora Cachon is car shopping, but is more interested in the car sales guy. While he is going over the finer points of the automobiles, she is looking over his.
Juan and Fernando are discussing destiny and how it is Juan's to end up with Pastor... uhm, ok.
Paula and Marely are talking about her made up escort and how she can get out of it. Paula asks Marely if she knows someone. Marely thinks. Paula says that she does not know anybody she can ask.
Enrique and Julia exchange niceties. Enrique tells her that he has started studying and hopes to enter university soon. She is happy for him. She tells him she wants more of a commitment from him and was not making time with another fella. She only wanted to make him feel bad. They have an uncomfortable kiss. Well, not for them, but it was hard for me to watch... Just kidding. I kid, I kid. They make a cute pareja.
Juan and Paula are driving. Juan does some thought bubbling. He says he is the solution to her problems.
Julia tells Kike to call her when he gets out of class. Marely gives Kike his gift back and says she is tired of receiving gifts meant for other girls. She points out that it appears he is over his sister. He says he treated her like a queen, but he is over it. Marely says what if Yadira is having second thoughts?
Yadira is in her bedroom with the candles lit doing some type of meditation/channeling hoping to bring Enrique back. The phone rings and she hopes that it is Kike calling. It is a wrong number.
Alirio enters and says hello. Alirio is putting the moves on Ivonne. She snubs him. Alirio enters CL's office. They talk business. Alirio asks for a favor, he would like an assistant so he can focus on important matters. Alirio suggests Ivonne.
Paula asks Juan if he has plans for the evening, if he will accompany her to CL's. He agrees.
CL and Alirio are still talking about Ivonne being his assistant. CL says that he has to go and they will talk about it later.
Paula explains her predicament to Juan. He thought bubbles that she is just using him. She says that he is partly to blame because he is the one who invented the story of her imaginary romance.
Paula is telling her mom about her plans for the evening. Her mom says she hopes the guy she shows up with is handsome. Paula tells her mom that she is going with Juan.
CL and his wife are talking about who the mystery man is in Paula's life. CL is agitated and doesnt want to talk about it. He says that the guy is only a friend and that his wife overstepped her bounds by trying to set her up.
Paula's mother tells her that she is using Juan and that is not right.
Alirio is in some type of storage room. He spots a rat and proceeds to kill it.
Juan is getting ready for his night out with Paula and I might add, looking mighty cute. Marely wants to know where he is off to. He tells her that he is accompanying Paula to dinner with CL and his wife. She says she hopes it does not end badly.
Enrique is in his class. The professor is calling roll and gets to Juan and he is not there. Enrique tries to make up an excuse, says juan is a chaufeur and traffic has made him late. She says everyone else managed to make it on time.
Juan arrives at Paula's. Her mom compliments his appearance. Her mom tells them to come home at a decen hour.
He tries to open the door for her so she can sit in the back. She says that for the night, they are friends, and she will ride in the front.
Back in Alirio's musty, dirty office, his friend/associate arrives. He tells him that he is doing some important investigative work for CL. His associate is dubious. He wants to talk about Yadira. He wants to know if she liked the candy and if he has a chance at winning her affections. Alirio says that Yadira finds him repulsive and does not like or appreciate the candy and flowers and gifts. The guy is hurt.
Enrique calls for Juan, Yadira answers the phone. She says she wants a face to face. He doesn't really want to do it and asks what its regarding. He says he will drop by later that night.
Back at CL's, he and Monica are preparing for their guests. Paula and Juan arrive. CL looks smug and asks what happened to her "friend", was he unable to make it? She returns the smug look and Juan tells him that he is the friend.
Paula and Juan are looking cozy on the couch and CL is clearly bothered.
Alirio and that guy are still talking about Yadira. The guy reminds Alirio of his dirty dealings, making his wife wealthy so he can partake of her wealth.
Nidia and Yadira are talking about the cars she saw at the dealership. Yadira is excited about the car prospects. Nidia pumps Yadira for information about Marely. Yadira makes an exit to avoid the topic.
Back at CL's, the players are sitting down to dinner. CL is uncomfortable and is not making good conversation, only answering uh-huh.
Enrique arrives to see Yadira. He asks if Juan as come back. She says no and to forget about Juan. She wants to go upstairs to her bedroom. He says he would rather stay downstairs. She basically makes him go upstairs. she does a striptease and some breast hoisting like her mom.
Paula and Juan get back in the car after their evening is over.
Enrique tells her to stop and that he wants no part of it. He reminds her that it was she who ended things. He breaks teh news to her that he has a new girlfriend. She does not take the news well.
Juan drops her off, she thanks him for the evening. He tells her that she used him and is only trying to hurt CL by making him think that she traded him in for a simple chauffeur.

La Fea Más Bella #32B-34A Missing Recaps 9-12, by Kim
Missing Recap 9: Model behavior
Luigi and Irma and the models are talking in Luigi's office. Lola comes in and wants to talk to him and he gives her the usual garbage about not wanting such a fea in his office. Finally Lola tells him it's about the models and they're too expensive so Lety and Fernando won't let him contract with them. Luigi gives her even more fea crap and she snaps back at him and leaves. The models beg to keep their jobs while Irma rolls her eyes.
Lopez is in the office with Alicia, the kids, PM and Marta. PM tells him that Lety said it was ok and he snaps something like "we'll just see about that" and storms out. Alicia spews her usual verbal vomit, demands her check, and leaves giving us a good shot of her check still clinging to her derriere. The kids, PM, and Marta all laugh. Bleh! Personally, I think the little darlin's need some serious time-out time.
Tomas calls and tells Lety that his F.I. investments have been going really well. Lety is glad for the good news, but tells him that things are going bad with Conceptos. Tomas wonders if Fernando will want back the money he used to start F.I. Lety doubts it because it wouldn't be much help, the debt Conceptos has is much larger than that. Sara comes in and warns her that Luigi is giving Lola a bad time in the Executive lobby. They leave.
Out in the Executive lobby, Luigi is yelling at Lola and calling Lety a monster and calling Fernando Frankenstein. The models all laugh as Lety comes over and asks what's up? The models all want to know what's up with their contracts and she tells them it's Fernando's orders so they can't get hired. Luigi buts in and says that Fernando specifically told him he runs his own area and he wants the bellazas. Lety says sorry Charlie, it's against Fern's orders. Luigi says fine, get another director, because he quits (again). Lety is impactada.
The kids and Marta are back in Omar's office, but sorry everyone, I can't take it and I fast forward through the conversation. I'm sure she's just telling them what precious little angels they are and how funny the whole check thing is (yes, I'm being sarcastic).
Luigi is still quitting in the executive lobby, and after calling Lety a monster again he finally walks. The models want to know when Fern will be back, and while imitating their posture she tells them "tomorrow". They trade insults and the models walk out. The cuartel laugh until Alicia comes up and says something along the lines of "boy is Fern gonna be pissed at you!"
Down in Reception, Marta, Lola, PM, Saimon and the kids are all talking. Alicia comes down and asks for some documents, which PM gives her. As she walks away, the check falls off her lower globe and onto the floor. Saimon follows her out while Marta spots the check on the floor and screams (why???). They all laugh.
Unfortunately I don't get a lot of the next conversation, but I'll give you what I can and hopefully someone else can fill in... We're in Lety's room where she's talking to Tomas, I think he may be telling her about the money he made for F.I. Robopop and mom come in and there's talk. Then he asks where the money for F.I. came from and Lety tells him it's seed money from Fernando. I think she offers her dad an accounting job at F.I. and he leaves happy. Then mom does some talking and leaves as well. Lety continues to talk to Tomas and tells him how Conceptos lost money on the Benny Ibarra video.
Next day the three models are outside waiting for Fernando. They see Lety getting off the bus and laugh as it starts moving before she's off and she falls. Celso runs over and asks if she's ok and calls her Presidente and she says she's fine. She then gives a smarta**ed Buenos Dias to the models and they give a smarta** retort right back at her and want to know when Fern will get there. She tells them "later" and they say they'll wait inside. I think she says something along the lines of "think again sistahs!" I guess Celso didn't like them laughing when she fell, because he backs her up instead of the hot chicks, and when Lety thanks him he salutes her. The models all make rude faces as she walks away.
Upstairs, the manager of Banco Latino is in the office looking for Fernando and Alicia greets him and starts telling him how she's in charge because she's the assistant to the President, and all the usual garbage. She leads him toward the conference room and orders Marta or Sara to bring them coffee. Marta and Sara ask who, us? And Alicia replies yeah, you, and says something rude about the cuartel to the bank guy, and you can tell by his face he's thinking this woman has no class at all. Just then Lety comes in and the manager recognizes her and greets her by name. She tells Alicia to take him to the conference room where she'll join him in a minute and orders Alicia to bring them coffee, and of course Alicia says who me? And Lety replies yeah you! Alicia wants to know why her and Lety reminds her in front of the bank guy that it's because she's the President's secretary and that's part of her job. She then asks for some information from Lola and Sara, they show her Alicia's beat up check, and I think Lety tells them to issue a new one. They then ask her about the stuff she carried in (remember the bank guy is sitting in the conference room waiting for her) and she wastes time telling them it's stuff to welcome back Don Fernando. Honestly, at this point can no one really tell this woman has a serious jones for the guy? They tease her about the stuff, then Sara gives her the info she asked for (and I don't think it's good), then she FINALLY joins the bank guy in the conference room. She assures the bank manager that Conceptos is not in trouble and has many projects to work on, right now they're working on an especially important shampoo commercial, Fern's currently in Los Angeles drumming up business in the Latin community there. The banker leaves, placated.
Outside, the models see Fernando and spring on him as he and Omar come walking up. They say something derogatory about "Licenciada Monster". Fernando angrily repeats "Licenciada Monster?" They explain who they're talking about and he gives a fake laugh and basically blows them off, ignores them after that, and keeps walking while Omar grunts and snorts over them as only Omar can, flirting with them. They walk into Reception and Fernando says hi to PM. She says "hola Don Fernando", then says "hola Licenciado Carvajal". He says hola back and gives her a famous Omar snort for good measure. Fernando turns around and smacks him on the shoulder and practically drags him into the elevator. PM calls Lety and tells her that Fern's on his way. On the executive lobby, Alicia sees Fernando and squeals with delight that he's finally back. She starts to list all her troubles, but he doesn't want to hear it. She starts to rub his arm, but he escapes and shoves Omar at her and walks away. Alicia calls Omar mi amor and tries to kiss him, but he turns his head so she only gets his cheek, and then he shakes her hand. He tries to walk off but she pulls him back and says we need to talk, and he says no we don't and gets away. She thanks the heavens they're back.
Lety has been setting out on Fernando's desk the stuff she brought in to welcome him back. When PM calls, she starts trying several poses, but winds up just standing there waiting for him. He says Hola Lety as he walks in but isn't actually paying any attention, which is good because she actually reaches out like she's going to hug him, then pulls back. He brushes by her and she asks how his trip went. Unfortunately for her, the loss of projects has put Fern in a bad mood. He asks for a report and as she hands it to him he sees the flowers. He says "flores" at first, like "how nice", but then he wants to know what they're doing there and tells Lety to get rid of them because the water might spill. Lety calls Lola in and tells her to take them to her desk. He's upset by the report and the cancelled contracts and hands it to Omar and tells him to check it out. Lety mentions about the banks and creditors and he's really pissed.
Just then our clueless heroine decides that's a good time to slip an ugly plastic or porcelain cat onto his desk. He picks it up and asks who put it there. He hands it to her as she tells him it's for him, he tells her he doesn't want it, he's got big problems and she's giving him some kind of junk for kids? She makes a joke about it playing with his computer mouse but he doesn't laugh and tells her to get rid of it, so she calls Lola in and tells her to take it to her kids. Omar indicates the report and says it's a disaster, he's pretty sure the companies have all cancelled their contracts due to the Benny Ibarra video failure. Fernando mentions that they're going to have to get a loan from stave off the bank and creditors, which makes Lety impactada, and Omar agrees with her.
Just then Fern puts his hand on one of the candles Lety left on his desk and asks what it is. She tells him it's "for aromatherapy", but he tells her to get rid of them, so she calls Lola in and tells her to put the candles in the bathroom. Omar tells Fernando he's rushing things with the loan, that they only just got back from L.A. and that trip could generate them some business, but Fernando says they have to be sure the company is safe. While Omar is talking, he keeps waving the report around, almost hitting Lety several times which she doesn't care much for. Finally Fernando finds her card and reads it out loud in an irritated manner. She tries to take it from him but he says no, this I like. She takes it anyway and calls Lola in, but then tells her never mind, this he likes. Fernando asks Lety how much money F.I. has and she tells him. He then asks for a check, but she says it's at her house and goes to her office to call.
As Lety calls Tomas and tells him to bring her the F.I. checkbook, Alicia comes in to tattle to Fern about all the things Lety has done wrong, making her work and serve coffee and all. Lety starts to explain but Fern tells her she doesn't need to and tells Alicia that Lety is his assistant and she needs to respect that. Alicia says fine, but... and proceeds to tell him about the kids and her check. Again he isn't really upset about it and gives Alicia a bad time. She then drops her bomb, oh by the way, did your assistant happen to mention that she made Luigi Lombardi quit? Everyone looks impactada, except Alicia who's looking pretty pleased with herself. That man quits more times than Lety does!
Missing Recap 10: Delicious sandwiches
Once again Alicia is whining and mentions that Luigi quit. Fernando looks pissed while Alicia looks like the cat who ate the canary. Fern and Omar hem Lety in (oh my god, a Fern/Omar sandwich! I want one, I want one!!!!) and glare at her. Lety explains to Fernando that Luigi quit because she wouldn't let him hire these really expensive models to use just for tests. Fern tells Lety she did the right thing and boots Alicia out of his office. Fernando says they'll call Luigi, but first he wants to know about the kids. Lety tells him, and Fern tells her it's ok this time, but it really is unprofessional and she shouldn't do it again (I SO agree!!!).
Alicia goes to the executive lobby and again demands her check, and again Lola tells her no. Alicia tells them she wants her check in one hour or there'll be hell to pay and the crap flies back and forth. Alicia says again, one hour you cuartel of witches and feas!
Luigi is out walking his dog when Lety calls and says Fernando wants to talk to him. Luigi tells her Luigi isn't available and hangs up on her. Fernando then calls and Luigi tells him he won't return to work while "that ugly thing" is in charge. Fernando tells him he's back now so Luigi can come on in (way to stick up for Lety there Fernie). Lety tries once again to explain but Fern tells her not to worry, she did fine. Alicia comes in and tells Fernando the models are waiting to talk to him, and whatever she says irritates him and he says something to Omar about his girlfriend and her six semesters of finance blah blah and she leaves. She starts to tell the models some garbage, but Lety goes out and basically tells them to piss off, Fern's too busy to see them. As they leave, she and Sara do a nasty imitation of them.
The models go outside and complain to each other, where they run into Tomas, who has arrived with the F.I. checkbook. He immediately starts to drool and says something about Lety, trying to brag but of course it doesn't go over well. He laughs/snorts as only Tomas can, then accidentally backs into Celso who asks him what he wants. He tells him and Celso goes to call Lety, leaving Tomas to talk to Sanson. Lety takes the call and tells Celso she'll be right there, and in the executive lobby walks by and tries to listen to Omar and Alicia's conversation. She wants him to take her to lunch, he says he can't leave because Fernando needs him. She wants to know if there's a problem and he says no, they're just working on a new idea. She whines and asks when they can talk and he tells her tonight. She then complains that he didn't stick up for her in Fernando's office and says something about the cuartel and cockroaches. He placates her.
Meanwhile, downstairs, PM tells the cuartel she can't have lunch with them because she's waiting for a friend. Saimon tells her instead of waiting she should go to lunch with them, and I guess she agrees. She kisses him, which makes him happy, just as Alicia walks in. You'd think she'd be happy to see PM kissing anyone besides Omar, but no... she tells them they should respect the business and calls them a horror and walks out. PM makes strangling motions and Lola says something about Alicia's check and the garbage and they all leave.
Lety goes downstairs and meets Tomas out front so her friends won't see him. Tomas spots Alicia leaving the building and Big Tomas' brain stops functioning as Little Tomas takes over. She's talking on the phone and Tomas starts to take off after her but Lety pulls him back. They do some talking but I don't find his stalker stuff funny so I don't pay a lot of attention. Lety hides Tomas as the cuartel come outside, still bitching about Alicia. They see her there on the phone and start talking smack, with Sara wanting to go full-on Roller Derby Chick (again!) but the others hold her back.
Missing Recap 11: Omar takes another for the team... sort of
Back upstairs, Lety asks Fernando why he wants the F.I. checkbook. Fernando tells her F.I. is going to loan some money to Conceptos. She heads to her office to grab her purse and Omar asks Fern if he's going to tell Lety the real reason he formed F.I. Fern hushes him as Lety comes out and leaves for lunch. Fern asks Omar what his problem is, and Omar says his problem isn't with Lety, it's a problem that's very delicate for Fern and Conceptos. Fern asks Que Pasa and Omar says something about Alicia.
Meanwhile, at lunch, the cuartel are still discussing Alicia and laughing about her. Saimon sticks up for her about her check and tells them that Alicia is broke so they should have a little pity for her and give her her paycheck. Everyone basically says too bad so sad sucks to be her, except for Irma. Irma gets mad and yells at them to stop and to give Alicia her check, but Marta tells them all not to worry about Alicia because soon all her economic problems will be solved since she's convincing her fiancé to live with her. Juana wants to know who the fiancé is and Marta says it's Omar. Lety joins them as Marta tells about the conversation she and Fernando overhead when Fernando stole her apple. Lety, who's no better than the rest when it comes to gossip, pipes in that she heard Omar telling Alicia he'd see her tonight. PM, who up till that moment had been flirting with Saimon, gets P.O.'d big time.
Fern teases Omar about Alicia as Omar tells him that Alicia wants to live with him. Fernando thinks Alicia will be happy enough if he just gives her money (wow, did he just call her a whore?), but Omar says Alicia told him she didn't want to be a kept woman, she wanted a husband. Fernando finds it hard to believe that she'd turn down cash. Omar reminds Fern that he's only seeing her for Fern's sake, but Fern continues to tease him.
Paco comes by in his cab with his daughter and they're talking about something, I think they're discussing how he's been saving for two years to get Marta a car. She comes by and I don't know if he's just giving her something or if he wants her to watch the daughter, but either way Marta goes up alone to work and Paco and daughter leave. The cuartel enter reception still talking about Alicia. I think Marta says something about a way to get back at Alicia and Sara says it's a good idea. They get into the elevator and leave while Saimon is chatting with PM. Alicia comes in and says something rude to them. Saimon acts like he wants to kill her, but PM just calmly calls Sara and asks her to let PM know when Omar is back in his office. Saimon wants to know what her plan is, but she just says something about Oxygenada getting what's coming to her.
Fernando's on the phone talking about producing commercials for the Latino community in the U.S. and it looks like they ain't buying. He says something I'm not clear on, about it being complicated with them in L.A. and there being closer companies (like he's repeating out loud what he's hearing on the phone). He then says OK and slams down the phone. Lety walks in and heads to her office but Fern stops her and tells her to sit down and sign the F.I. check to Conceptos. She freaks when she sees it's for 300,000 pesos. The music is very loud and it's hard to hear, but I think he's explaining to her that he needs Conceptos to become indebted to Filmo Imagen. She starts to write on his desk, then he makes her sign on the check, which she then gives back to him. He and Omar say something I don't get as Fernando hands the check back to her along with a letter of instructions (is that like a letter of credit?). (I believe this is a promissory note - Julie)
She's very nervous about taking it, but he repeats that it's necessary for Conceptos to borrow from F.I. At the word "necessary" Lety sits up straight like she's at attention or something. Fernando gives Omar a look like "watch this" and repeats that it's necessary, making Lety sit at attention again while Omar watches. She sees Fernando look at Omar and turns to look at him too, so he stands at attention as well. Omar may be a jerk but Agustin Arana plays him well and this was pretty funny. Anyway, Lety is still nervous about borrowing so much money and her eye starts to twitch. Fern asks her what's wrong and she basically says she's worried about doing it. Fern says fine, and tries to take the papers back but she holds them up out of his reach, but Omar grabs them. She grabs them back and says she'll do it. Fern says good and tells her to go deposit the check into Conceptos' account. As Lety leaves to get her purse, Fern and Omar talk about the embargo and the future of Conceptos.
Alicia is again demanding her check from Lola when the phone rings. She answers and it's Ariel, who starts to make fun of her and tells her he wants to get horizontal tonight. Omar goes back to his office and Sarah calls PM to tell her he's there. Alicia tells Ariel she has a fiancé and asks him not to compromise her with Omar. He says that's not his problem and blackmails her by telling her he'll tell Marcia and Fernando that it was she that screwed up Lety's computer. She tells Ariel that she doesn't care what he does because Omar's going to take care of her so she's going to be resigning from Conceptos. He talks more smack about how she's basically marrying him for his money, and she denies it and says she loves Omar. Ariel says something rude I don't get and she slams the phone down on him. PM passes by her desk on her way to Omar's office and makes a rude face at her. She's unbuttoning her jacket and Sara is trying to call her back.
PM goes into Omar's office with her jacket open and he asks her what's up and she starts trying to seduce him. He tells her he's very busy but she lays on his desk and gives him a "come here" look. She says she wants him to come over tonight. He's still trying to make her go away and tells her tomorrow would be better, but she grabs his tie and pulls him in close and says tomorrow isn't good, she can't wait, and she starts to kiss him. For what's probably the first time in his life, he actually pulls away from a woman and gets out of his chair and heads toward the door, telling her to calm down. She tells him she is calm and says something he likes because he goes ahead and goes for it.
Of course just then Alicia comes in and yells "Omar!" He pulls away from PM and stumbles into a chair while PM laughs evilly and Alicia glares. Alicia asks what's going on and swings at Omar, who's heading back to his own chair. He manages to duck and tries to protect himself with something from his bookcase. Sara and Juana walk in just as Alicia and PM are trading insults. Alicia starts to go after PM but Sara and Juana hold her back while PM holds up her claws like she's going to scratch her but let's face it, it's not much of a threat. Those things are so long and fake they'd probably break trying to pass through soft butter. Omar tells them to calm down, he doesn't need a scandal in his office, while PM laughs some more. He tells Alicia they need to talk and she says she has nothing to say to him and insults him.
She walks out and PM starts to cry and plays innocent, but Omar is pissed and tells Sara and Juana to leave. He then wants to know why she didn't lock the door and asks her what she was doing, which she doesn't answer. He says "where are we?" and she replies "your office", and he yells "Conceptos!" He reminds her that he asked her to be discreet and instead she creates an incident. She grabs his tie and blows her nose on it (yeah, good way to calm a guy down Paula Maria). He tells her to get out and she's fired because this is all her fault. She keeps turning toward him crying, but he just keeps pointing toward the door. She leaves and he grunts with anger.
Fernando and Lety are actually discussing business when Alicia comes in and says she needs her check and she can't work here any more. Lety goes to her office and Alicia tells Fern what Omar did. Lety comes back and starts to hand the check to Alicia, but then gives it to Fern who gives it to Alicia. She says "I guess I'll go" and Lety and Fern both say adios. She leaves and Fern has Lety call Omar.
Out in the executive lobby the cuartel and Saimon are talking to a still-crying PM. I think they're asking her que the hell did she do that for? Sara answers the phone and says it's Lety saying that Fernando wants to see Omar in his office asap. They all freak, knowing it means PM's in trouble. Alicia comes crying into the Executive lobby, calling the cuartel Philistines or something like that, I can't really hear that part well. Alicia and Sara start to get into it but Lopez comes out and breaks them up and asks what's going on. Lopez asks why PM isn't in Reception and Alicia tells him it's because she was up here doing a strip tease in the Vice President's office. PM says something rude to her that really pisses Lopez off and he orders her into his office and everyone else to get back to work. Luigi comes in with his models and cracks a stupid joke but no one laughs. He finally notices Alicia crying and asks what's going on. She says she's going home and can't talk to him. PM cries loudly and he yells at her for god's sake, what drama, we're talkin' over here (read that with a Ratso Rizzo tone of voice from Midnight Cowboy). He tells Alicia to come back to his office for some girl talk and she agrees. PM cries and thinks she's going to be fired. Lola offers to go with her to Lopez's office but Lopez tells her no, just Paula Maria. NOW PM's worried about what will happen with her son. Saimon tells her if she gets fired he'll take care of her (Ok, does anyone else hear the sound of a whip cracking? Earth to Saimon, she just got busted for attempting to have sex at work with another man!). Omar and Sara come out of his office and pass by the cuartel as they head to Fern's office.
Fernando is reaming Omar a new orifice for allowing himself to be seduced by PM. Omar is trying to use the excuse that Little Omar and his two hairy friends took control of his body and he couldn't help himself.
In Lopez's office he's telling PM that what she did was a scandal for the whole office. She tells him she didn't mean to create a scandal, she didn't know Alicia was going to walk in. He wants to know why she wasn't working and she says she only came up for five minutes to talk to Omar and Saimon was coving reception for her. She starts playing the sympathy card and mentions her son and gosh what will they do? He is either starting to give in or trying to work the situation, but he says he can't guarantee anything and she says please and he tells her he has to talk to Fernando and Omar. He says he'll see what he can do and as she walks away he licks/squeaks his head as only Lopez can.
Fernando pretends he's at home having a drink and reading about the scandal in the paper. In other words, he's still working on that new one for Omar. He keeps poking Omar over and over, making him laugh, and I think it probably really did tickle the actor. Omar tells Fern he fired PM.
Alicia is telling Luigi what happened and the models tell her that Omar has a lot of women who think they're engaged to him. Luigi shuts them up and tells her she has a lot of options and not to let them bother her and she shouldn't quit and I think he convinces her.
PM is still talking about it to Irma and the rest of the cuartel and Lety says she'll say something to Fernando.
Ariel calls Lopez and asks if Alicia's resigned and Lopez tells him about the current scandal. Lopez tells him it's PM that's probably going to be fired.
Omar and Fern are still talking when Lety comes in asking to speak to him on PM's behalf and asks him not to let her go. She tells him PM has a son and really needs the job. She then turns on Omar and reminds him that he's just as guilty in the scandal as PM is. Fernando asks Lety to let him speak to Omar alone. He calls Omar a name and tells him he has no intention of letting PM go because she has a son and has a perfect track record until Omar came along. Omar whines about having to face PM in Reception and Alicia up here, but Fernando basically just tells him tough noogies, suck it up. Lopez comes in and wants to talk about PM and Omar, Fernando tells him to reprimand PM but that's it, she's not to be fired, and Lopez leaves.
The cuartel are all in their meeting room and Lopez calls PM out and tells everyone else to go back to work. He tells her he talked to Fernando and Omar and their decision was to leave it in his hands to resolve the situation. He tells her she has to meet with him that night to figure out how they will resolve the situation (and we all know what that means to him! Ew!!!). Sara and Juana are listening.
Missing Recap 12: Setups
Once again we're back to Lety going off on Omar and I'm once again not feeling the love for PM here! (Let's look back, shall we? She knew he was seeing Alicia yet chose to get into a relationship with him, then pulls an incredibly stupid stunt, THEN expects everyone else to get her out of her jam. And now here's Lety all on a high horse like PM is so innocent and doesn't deserve punishment. Not to mention that prior to all this while they were at lunch PM was all over Saimon like white on rice. Omar's a pig, but she's no better! Sorry for the rant...) Ok, on with the story: Lopez goes into Fern's office again, cuartel are in the bathroom again, Lopez is blackmailing PM again (yuck!) and Sara and Juana are listening again. They ask PM what was said, she tells them, they sympathize.
Luigi goes into Fern's office and makes fun of Omar. He makes a rude joke about the cuartel of the feas and Fernando reminds him they are the secretaries of Conceptos. Luigi starts to say something about the Platypus but Fernando stops him, so he makes more fun of Omar. Omar tries to leave but Luigi grabs his tie and pulls him back, which Fern finds funny. He makes another joke and Omar leaves.
PM is discussing Lopez with Sara and Juana. They tell her she can't go, who knows what Lopez might do? PM worries.
Luigi sits down to talk to Fernando, who asks that the costs be kept down. Luigi gives more diva crap. Fern tries to explain his position but Luigi doesn't want to hear it. They talk about the bet and I think he says he's going to win because Conceptos doesn't have any work, so Fernando's going to have to be the Queen of the Night. Luigi finally agrees to keep his costs down, but Fernando's the one who's going to have to break the bad news to the three models. He brings them in and they start to fawn all over Fernando.
Saimon and PM are talking and Saimon says she has to keep working so she can take care of Jaimito. She says something I don't get, about his looks I think, and she starts to be nice to him but then turns mean (is she bipolar?). Just then El Cheque comes in and asks for Lola. Saimon is rude to him and makes him walk around him.
Fernando manages to escape the models' clutches and tries to explain to them, but then he caves in (way to stick up for Lety, pal). He tells Lety to have Lola draw up the contracts, and Luigi is smug and says something rude to her as she leaves.
Lopez calls PM to ask if she's ready to go out with him. She tries to get out of it by mentioning her dad or parents or something, I'm not sure, but Lopez isn't buying. PM tells Saimon what's going on and he freaks out as only Saimon can.
Lola is yelling at Cheque in front of the whole cuartel. I'm not sure what he replies, but it really freaks Lola out and she totally goes off on him. She keeps making weird faces and he says adios to everyone. Lety tells Lola to calm down. Luigi comes in with the models and he makes fun of the cuartel , tells the models the rude names he has for each of them., then they leave. Saimon comes up to ask them what they can do to save PM from Lopez's clutches and Lola starts to freak again.
Luigi and Irma and the models are talking in Luigi's office. Lola comes in and wants to talk to him and he gives her the usual garbage about not wanting such a fea in his office. Finally Lola tells him it's about the models and they're too expensive so Lety and Fernando won't let him contract with them. Luigi gives her even more fea crap and she snaps back at him and leaves. The models beg to keep their jobs while Irma rolls her eyes.
Lopez is in the office with Alicia, the kids, PM and Marta. PM tells him that Lety said it was ok and he snaps something like "we'll just see about that" and storms out. Alicia spews her usual verbal vomit, demands her check, and leaves giving us a good shot of her check still clinging to her derriere. The kids, PM, and Marta all laugh. Bleh! Personally, I think the little darlin's need some serious time-out time.
Tomas calls and tells Lety that his F.I. investments have been going really well. Lety is glad for the good news, but tells him that things are going bad with Conceptos. Tomas wonders if Fernando will want back the money he used to start F.I. Lety doubts it because it wouldn't be much help, the debt Conceptos has is much larger than that. Sara comes in and warns her that Luigi is giving Lola a bad time in the Executive lobby. They leave.
Out in the Executive lobby, Luigi is yelling at Lola and calling Lety a monster and calling Fernando Frankenstein. The models all laugh as Lety comes over and asks what's up? The models all want to know what's up with their contracts and she tells them it's Fernando's orders so they can't get hired. Luigi buts in and says that Fernando specifically told him he runs his own area and he wants the bellazas. Lety says sorry Charlie, it's against Fern's orders. Luigi says fine, get another director, because he quits (again). Lety is impactada.
The kids and Marta are back in Omar's office, but sorry everyone, I can't take it and I fast forward through the conversation. I'm sure she's just telling them what precious little angels they are and how funny the whole check thing is (yes, I'm being sarcastic).
Luigi is still quitting in the executive lobby, and after calling Lety a monster again he finally walks. The models want to know when Fern will be back, and while imitating their posture she tells them "tomorrow". They trade insults and the models walk out. The cuartel laugh until Alicia comes up and says something along the lines of "boy is Fern gonna be pissed at you!"
Down in Reception, Marta, Lola, PM, Saimon and the kids are all talking. Alicia comes down and asks for some documents, which PM gives her. As she walks away, the check falls off her lower globe and onto the floor. Saimon follows her out while Marta spots the check on the floor and screams (why???). They all laugh.
Unfortunately I don't get a lot of the next conversation, but I'll give you what I can and hopefully someone else can fill in... We're in Lety's room where she's talking to Tomas, I think he may be telling her about the money he made for F.I. Robopop and mom come in and there's talk. Then he asks where the money for F.I. came from and Lety tells him it's seed money from Fernando. I think she offers her dad an accounting job at F.I. and he leaves happy. Then mom does some talking and leaves as well. Lety continues to talk to Tomas and tells him how Conceptos lost money on the Benny Ibarra video.
Next day the three models are outside waiting for Fernando. They see Lety getting off the bus and laugh as it starts moving before she's off and she falls. Celso runs over and asks if she's ok and calls her Presidente and she says she's fine. She then gives a smarta**ed Buenos Dias to the models and they give a smarta** retort right back at her and want to know when Fern will get there. She tells them "later" and they say they'll wait inside. I think she says something along the lines of "think again sistahs!" I guess Celso didn't like them laughing when she fell, because he backs her up instead of the hot chicks, and when Lety thanks him he salutes her. The models all make rude faces as she walks away.
Upstairs, the manager of Banco Latino is in the office looking for Fernando and Alicia greets him and starts telling him how she's in charge because she's the assistant to the President, and all the usual garbage. She leads him toward the conference room and orders Marta or Sara to bring them coffee. Marta and Sara ask who, us? And Alicia replies yeah, you, and says something rude about the cuartel to the bank guy, and you can tell by his face he's thinking this woman has no class at all. Just then Lety comes in and the manager recognizes her and greets her by name. She tells Alicia to take him to the conference room where she'll join him in a minute and orders Alicia to bring them coffee, and of course Alicia says who me? And Lety replies yeah you! Alicia wants to know why her and Lety reminds her in front of the bank guy that it's because she's the President's secretary and that's part of her job. She then asks for some information from Lola and Sara, they show her Alicia's beat up check, and I think Lety tells them to issue a new one. They then ask her about the stuff she carried in (remember the bank guy is sitting in the conference room waiting for her) and she wastes time telling them it's stuff to welcome back Don Fernando. Honestly, at this point can no one really tell this woman has a serious jones for the guy? They tease her about the stuff, then Sara gives her the info she asked for (and I don't think it's good), then she FINALLY joins the bank guy in the conference room. She assures the bank manager that Conceptos is not in trouble and has many projects to work on, right now they're working on an especially important shampoo commercial, Fern's currently in Los Angeles drumming up business in the Latin community there. The banker leaves, placated.
Outside, the models see Fernando and spring on him as he and Omar come walking up. They say something derogatory about "Licenciada Monster". Fernando angrily repeats "Licenciada Monster?" They explain who they're talking about and he gives a fake laugh and basically blows them off, ignores them after that, and keeps walking while Omar grunts and snorts over them as only Omar can, flirting with them. They walk into Reception and Fernando says hi to PM. She says "hola Don Fernando", then says "hola Licenciado Carvajal". He says hola back and gives her a famous Omar snort for good measure. Fernando turns around and smacks him on the shoulder and practically drags him into the elevator. PM calls Lety and tells her that Fern's on his way. On the executive lobby, Alicia sees Fernando and squeals with delight that he's finally back. She starts to list all her troubles, but he doesn't want to hear it. She starts to rub his arm, but he escapes and shoves Omar at her and walks away. Alicia calls Omar mi amor and tries to kiss him, but he turns his head so she only gets his cheek, and then he shakes her hand. He tries to walk off but she pulls him back and says we need to talk, and he says no we don't and gets away. She thanks the heavens they're back.
Lety has been setting out on Fernando's desk the stuff she brought in to welcome him back. When PM calls, she starts trying several poses, but winds up just standing there waiting for him. He says Hola Lety as he walks in but isn't actually paying any attention, which is good because she actually reaches out like she's going to hug him, then pulls back. He brushes by her and she asks how his trip went. Unfortunately for her, the loss of projects has put Fern in a bad mood. He asks for a report and as she hands it to him he sees the flowers. He says "flores" at first, like "how nice", but then he wants to know what they're doing there and tells Lety to get rid of them because the water might spill. Lety calls Lola in and tells her to take them to her desk. He's upset by the report and the cancelled contracts and hands it to Omar and tells him to check it out. Lety mentions about the banks and creditors and he's really pissed.
Just then our clueless heroine decides that's a good time to slip an ugly plastic or porcelain cat onto his desk. He picks it up and asks who put it there. He hands it to her as she tells him it's for him, he tells her he doesn't want it, he's got big problems and she's giving him some kind of junk for kids? She makes a joke about it playing with his computer mouse but he doesn't laugh and tells her to get rid of it, so she calls Lola in and tells her to take it to her kids. Omar indicates the report and says it's a disaster, he's pretty sure the companies have all cancelled their contracts due to the Benny Ibarra video failure. Fernando mentions that they're going to have to get a loan from stave off the bank and creditors, which makes Lety impactada, and Omar agrees with her.
Just then Fern puts his hand on one of the candles Lety left on his desk and asks what it is. She tells him it's "for aromatherapy", but he tells her to get rid of them, so she calls Lola in and tells her to put the candles in the bathroom. Omar tells Fernando he's rushing things with the loan, that they only just got back from L.A. and that trip could generate them some business, but Fernando says they have to be sure the company is safe. While Omar is talking, he keeps waving the report around, almost hitting Lety several times which she doesn't care much for. Finally Fernando finds her card and reads it out loud in an irritated manner. She tries to take it from him but he says no, this I like. She takes it anyway and calls Lola in, but then tells her never mind, this he likes. Fernando asks Lety how much money F.I. has and she tells him. He then asks for a check, but she says it's at her house and goes to her office to call.
As Lety calls Tomas and tells him to bring her the F.I. checkbook, Alicia comes in to tattle to Fern about all the things Lety has done wrong, making her work and serve coffee and all. Lety starts to explain but Fern tells her she doesn't need to and tells Alicia that Lety is his assistant and she needs to respect that. Alicia says fine, but... and proceeds to tell him about the kids and her check. Again he isn't really upset about it and gives Alicia a bad time. She then drops her bomb, oh by the way, did your assistant happen to mention that she made Luigi Lombardi quit? Everyone looks impactada, except Alicia who's looking pretty pleased with herself. That man quits more times than Lety does!
Missing Recap 10: Delicious sandwiches
Once again Alicia is whining and mentions that Luigi quit. Fernando looks pissed while Alicia looks like the cat who ate the canary. Fern and Omar hem Lety in (oh my god, a Fern/Omar sandwich! I want one, I want one!!!!) and glare at her. Lety explains to Fernando that Luigi quit because she wouldn't let him hire these really expensive models to use just for tests. Fern tells Lety she did the right thing and boots Alicia out of his office. Fernando says they'll call Luigi, but first he wants to know about the kids. Lety tells him, and Fern tells her it's ok this time, but it really is unprofessional and she shouldn't do it again (I SO agree!!!).
Alicia goes to the executive lobby and again demands her check, and again Lola tells her no. Alicia tells them she wants her check in one hour or there'll be hell to pay and the crap flies back and forth. Alicia says again, one hour you cuartel of witches and feas!
Luigi is out walking his dog when Lety calls and says Fernando wants to talk to him. Luigi tells her Luigi isn't available and hangs up on her. Fernando then calls and Luigi tells him he won't return to work while "that ugly thing" is in charge. Fernando tells him he's back now so Luigi can come on in (way to stick up for Lety there Fernie). Lety tries once again to explain but Fern tells her not to worry, she did fine. Alicia comes in and tells Fernando the models are waiting to talk to him, and whatever she says irritates him and he says something to Omar about his girlfriend and her six semesters of finance blah blah and she leaves. She starts to tell the models some garbage, but Lety goes out and basically tells them to piss off, Fern's too busy to see them. As they leave, she and Sara do a nasty imitation of them.
The models go outside and complain to each other, where they run into Tomas, who has arrived with the F.I. checkbook. He immediately starts to drool and says something about Lety, trying to brag but of course it doesn't go over well. He laughs/snorts as only Tomas can, then accidentally backs into Celso who asks him what he wants. He tells him and Celso goes to call Lety, leaving Tomas to talk to Sanson. Lety takes the call and tells Celso she'll be right there, and in the executive lobby walks by and tries to listen to Omar and Alicia's conversation. She wants him to take her to lunch, he says he can't leave because Fernando needs him. She wants to know if there's a problem and he says no, they're just working on a new idea. She whines and asks when they can talk and he tells her tonight. She then complains that he didn't stick up for her in Fernando's office and says something about the cuartel and cockroaches. He placates her.
Meanwhile, downstairs, PM tells the cuartel she can't have lunch with them because she's waiting for a friend. Saimon tells her instead of waiting she should go to lunch with them, and I guess she agrees. She kisses him, which makes him happy, just as Alicia walks in. You'd think she'd be happy to see PM kissing anyone besides Omar, but no... she tells them they should respect the business and calls them a horror and walks out. PM makes strangling motions and Lola says something about Alicia's check and the garbage and they all leave.
Lety goes downstairs and meets Tomas out front so her friends won't see him. Tomas spots Alicia leaving the building and Big Tomas' brain stops functioning as Little Tomas takes over. She's talking on the phone and Tomas starts to take off after her but Lety pulls him back. They do some talking but I don't find his stalker stuff funny so I don't pay a lot of attention. Lety hides Tomas as the cuartel come outside, still bitching about Alicia. They see her there on the phone and start talking smack, with Sara wanting to go full-on Roller Derby Chick (again!) but the others hold her back.
Missing Recap 11: Omar takes another for the team... sort of
Back upstairs, Lety asks Fernando why he wants the F.I. checkbook. Fernando tells her F.I. is going to loan some money to Conceptos. She heads to her office to grab her purse and Omar asks Fern if he's going to tell Lety the real reason he formed F.I. Fern hushes him as Lety comes out and leaves for lunch. Fern asks Omar what his problem is, and Omar says his problem isn't with Lety, it's a problem that's very delicate for Fern and Conceptos. Fern asks Que Pasa and Omar says something about Alicia.
Meanwhile, at lunch, the cuartel are still discussing Alicia and laughing about her. Saimon sticks up for her about her check and tells them that Alicia is broke so they should have a little pity for her and give her her paycheck. Everyone basically says too bad so sad sucks to be her, except for Irma. Irma gets mad and yells at them to stop and to give Alicia her check, but Marta tells them all not to worry about Alicia because soon all her economic problems will be solved since she's convincing her fiancé to live with her. Juana wants to know who the fiancé is and Marta says it's Omar. Lety joins them as Marta tells about the conversation she and Fernando overhead when Fernando stole her apple. Lety, who's no better than the rest when it comes to gossip, pipes in that she heard Omar telling Alicia he'd see her tonight. PM, who up till that moment had been flirting with Saimon, gets P.O.'d big time.
Fern teases Omar about Alicia as Omar tells him that Alicia wants to live with him. Fernando thinks Alicia will be happy enough if he just gives her money (wow, did he just call her a whore?), but Omar says Alicia told him she didn't want to be a kept woman, she wanted a husband. Fernando finds it hard to believe that she'd turn down cash. Omar reminds Fern that he's only seeing her for Fern's sake, but Fern continues to tease him.
Paco comes by in his cab with his daughter and they're talking about something, I think they're discussing how he's been saving for two years to get Marta a car. She comes by and I don't know if he's just giving her something or if he wants her to watch the daughter, but either way Marta goes up alone to work and Paco and daughter leave. The cuartel enter reception still talking about Alicia. I think Marta says something about a way to get back at Alicia and Sara says it's a good idea. They get into the elevator and leave while Saimon is chatting with PM. Alicia comes in and says something rude to them. Saimon acts like he wants to kill her, but PM just calmly calls Sara and asks her to let PM know when Omar is back in his office. Saimon wants to know what her plan is, but she just says something about Oxygenada getting what's coming to her.
Fernando's on the phone talking about producing commercials for the Latino community in the U.S. and it looks like they ain't buying. He says something I'm not clear on, about it being complicated with them in L.A. and there being closer companies (like he's repeating out loud what he's hearing on the phone). He then says OK and slams down the phone. Lety walks in and heads to her office but Fern stops her and tells her to sit down and sign the F.I. check to Conceptos. She freaks when she sees it's for 300,000 pesos. The music is very loud and it's hard to hear, but I think he's explaining to her that he needs Conceptos to become indebted to Filmo Imagen. She starts to write on his desk, then he makes her sign on the check, which she then gives back to him. He and Omar say something I don't get as Fernando hands the check back to her along with a letter of instructions (is that like a letter of credit?). (I believe this is a promissory note - Julie)
She's very nervous about taking it, but he repeats that it's necessary for Conceptos to borrow from F.I. At the word "necessary" Lety sits up straight like she's at attention or something. Fernando gives Omar a look like "watch this" and repeats that it's necessary, making Lety sit at attention again while Omar watches. She sees Fernando look at Omar and turns to look at him too, so he stands at attention as well. Omar may be a jerk but Agustin Arana plays him well and this was pretty funny. Anyway, Lety is still nervous about borrowing so much money and her eye starts to twitch. Fern asks her what's wrong and she basically says she's worried about doing it. Fern says fine, and tries to take the papers back but she holds them up out of his reach, but Omar grabs them. She grabs them back and says she'll do it. Fern says good and tells her to go deposit the check into Conceptos' account. As Lety leaves to get her purse, Fern and Omar talk about the embargo and the future of Conceptos.
Alicia is again demanding her check from Lola when the phone rings. She answers and it's Ariel, who starts to make fun of her and tells her he wants to get horizontal tonight. Omar goes back to his office and Sarah calls PM to tell her he's there. Alicia tells Ariel she has a fiancé and asks him not to compromise her with Omar. He says that's not his problem and blackmails her by telling her he'll tell Marcia and Fernando that it was she that screwed up Lety's computer. She tells Ariel that she doesn't care what he does because Omar's going to take care of her so she's going to be resigning from Conceptos. He talks more smack about how she's basically marrying him for his money, and she denies it and says she loves Omar. Ariel says something rude I don't get and she slams the phone down on him. PM passes by her desk on her way to Omar's office and makes a rude face at her. She's unbuttoning her jacket and Sara is trying to call her back.
PM goes into Omar's office with her jacket open and he asks her what's up and she starts trying to seduce him. He tells her he's very busy but she lays on his desk and gives him a "come here" look. She says she wants him to come over tonight. He's still trying to make her go away and tells her tomorrow would be better, but she grabs his tie and pulls him in close and says tomorrow isn't good, she can't wait, and she starts to kiss him. For what's probably the first time in his life, he actually pulls away from a woman and gets out of his chair and heads toward the door, telling her to calm down. She tells him she is calm and says something he likes because he goes ahead and goes for it.
Of course just then Alicia comes in and yells "Omar!" He pulls away from PM and stumbles into a chair while PM laughs evilly and Alicia glares. Alicia asks what's going on and swings at Omar, who's heading back to his own chair. He manages to duck and tries to protect himself with something from his bookcase. Sara and Juana walk in just as Alicia and PM are trading insults. Alicia starts to go after PM but Sara and Juana hold her back while PM holds up her claws like she's going to scratch her but let's face it, it's not much of a threat. Those things are so long and fake they'd probably break trying to pass through soft butter. Omar tells them to calm down, he doesn't need a scandal in his office, while PM laughs some more. He tells Alicia they need to talk and she says she has nothing to say to him and insults him.
She walks out and PM starts to cry and plays innocent, but Omar is pissed and tells Sara and Juana to leave. He then wants to know why she didn't lock the door and asks her what she was doing, which she doesn't answer. He says "where are we?" and she replies "your office", and he yells "Conceptos!" He reminds her that he asked her to be discreet and instead she creates an incident. She grabs his tie and blows her nose on it (yeah, good way to calm a guy down Paula Maria). He tells her to get out and she's fired because this is all her fault. She keeps turning toward him crying, but he just keeps pointing toward the door. She leaves and he grunts with anger.
Fernando and Lety are actually discussing business when Alicia comes in and says she needs her check and she can't work here any more. Lety goes to her office and Alicia tells Fern what Omar did. Lety comes back and starts to hand the check to Alicia, but then gives it to Fern who gives it to Alicia. She says "I guess I'll go" and Lety and Fern both say adios. She leaves and Fern has Lety call Omar.
Out in the executive lobby the cuartel and Saimon are talking to a still-crying PM. I think they're asking her que the hell did she do that for? Sara answers the phone and says it's Lety saying that Fernando wants to see Omar in his office asap. They all freak, knowing it means PM's in trouble. Alicia comes crying into the Executive lobby, calling the cuartel Philistines or something like that, I can't really hear that part well. Alicia and Sara start to get into it but Lopez comes out and breaks them up and asks what's going on. Lopez asks why PM isn't in Reception and Alicia tells him it's because she was up here doing a strip tease in the Vice President's office. PM says something rude to her that really pisses Lopez off and he orders her into his office and everyone else to get back to work. Luigi comes in with his models and cracks a stupid joke but no one laughs. He finally notices Alicia crying and asks what's going on. She says she's going home and can't talk to him. PM cries loudly and he yells at her for god's sake, what drama, we're talkin' over here (read that with a Ratso Rizzo tone of voice from Midnight Cowboy). He tells Alicia to come back to his office for some girl talk and she agrees. PM cries and thinks she's going to be fired. Lola offers to go with her to Lopez's office but Lopez tells her no, just Paula Maria. NOW PM's worried about what will happen with her son. Saimon tells her if she gets fired he'll take care of her (Ok, does anyone else hear the sound of a whip cracking? Earth to Saimon, she just got busted for attempting to have sex at work with another man!). Omar and Sara come out of his office and pass by the cuartel as they head to Fern's office.
Fernando is reaming Omar a new orifice for allowing himself to be seduced by PM. Omar is trying to use the excuse that Little Omar and his two hairy friends took control of his body and he couldn't help himself.
In Lopez's office he's telling PM that what she did was a scandal for the whole office. She tells him she didn't mean to create a scandal, she didn't know Alicia was going to walk in. He wants to know why she wasn't working and she says she only came up for five minutes to talk to Omar and Saimon was coving reception for her. She starts playing the sympathy card and mentions her son and gosh what will they do? He is either starting to give in or trying to work the situation, but he says he can't guarantee anything and she says please and he tells her he has to talk to Fernando and Omar. He says he'll see what he can do and as she walks away he licks/squeaks his head as only Lopez can.
Fernando pretends he's at home having a drink and reading about the scandal in the paper. In other words, he's still working on that new one for Omar. He keeps poking Omar over and over, making him laugh, and I think it probably really did tickle the actor. Omar tells Fern he fired PM.
Alicia is telling Luigi what happened and the models tell her that Omar has a lot of women who think they're engaged to him. Luigi shuts them up and tells her she has a lot of options and not to let them bother her and she shouldn't quit and I think he convinces her.
PM is still talking about it to Irma and the rest of the cuartel and Lety says she'll say something to Fernando.
Ariel calls Lopez and asks if Alicia's resigned and Lopez tells him about the current scandal. Lopez tells him it's PM that's probably going to be fired.
Omar and Fern are still talking when Lety comes in asking to speak to him on PM's behalf and asks him not to let her go. She tells him PM has a son and really needs the job. She then turns on Omar and reminds him that he's just as guilty in the scandal as PM is. Fernando asks Lety to let him speak to Omar alone. He calls Omar a name and tells him he has no intention of letting PM go because she has a son and has a perfect track record until Omar came along. Omar whines about having to face PM in Reception and Alicia up here, but Fernando basically just tells him tough noogies, suck it up. Lopez comes in and wants to talk about PM and Omar, Fernando tells him to reprimand PM but that's it, she's not to be fired, and Lopez leaves.
The cuartel are all in their meeting room and Lopez calls PM out and tells everyone else to go back to work. He tells her he talked to Fernando and Omar and their decision was to leave it in his hands to resolve the situation. He tells her she has to meet with him that night to figure out how they will resolve the situation (and we all know what that means to him! Ew!!!). Sara and Juana are listening.
Missing Recap 12: Setups
Once again we're back to Lety going off on Omar and I'm once again not feeling the love for PM here! (Let's look back, shall we? She knew he was seeing Alicia yet chose to get into a relationship with him, then pulls an incredibly stupid stunt, THEN expects everyone else to get her out of her jam. And now here's Lety all on a high horse like PM is so innocent and doesn't deserve punishment. Not to mention that prior to all this while they were at lunch PM was all over Saimon like white on rice. Omar's a pig, but she's no better! Sorry for the rant...) Ok, on with the story: Lopez goes into Fern's office again, cuartel are in the bathroom again, Lopez is blackmailing PM again (yuck!) and Sara and Juana are listening again. They ask PM what was said, she tells them, they sympathize.
Luigi goes into Fern's office and makes fun of Omar. He makes a rude joke about the cuartel of the feas and Fernando reminds him they are the secretaries of Conceptos. Luigi starts to say something about the Platypus but Fernando stops him, so he makes more fun of Omar. Omar tries to leave but Luigi grabs his tie and pulls him back, which Fern finds funny. He makes another joke and Omar leaves.
PM is discussing Lopez with Sara and Juana. They tell her she can't go, who knows what Lopez might do? PM worries.
Luigi sits down to talk to Fernando, who asks that the costs be kept down. Luigi gives more diva crap. Fern tries to explain his position but Luigi doesn't want to hear it. They talk about the bet and I think he says he's going to win because Conceptos doesn't have any work, so Fernando's going to have to be the Queen of the Night. Luigi finally agrees to keep his costs down, but Fernando's the one who's going to have to break the bad news to the three models. He brings them in and they start to fawn all over Fernando.
Saimon and PM are talking and Saimon says she has to keep working so she can take care of Jaimito. She says something I don't get, about his looks I think, and she starts to be nice to him but then turns mean (is she bipolar?). Just then El Cheque comes in and asks for Lola. Saimon is rude to him and makes him walk around him.
Fernando manages to escape the models' clutches and tries to explain to them, but then he caves in (way to stick up for Lety, pal). He tells Lety to have Lola draw up the contracts, and Luigi is smug and says something rude to her as she leaves.
Lopez calls PM to ask if she's ready to go out with him. She tries to get out of it by mentioning her dad or parents or something, I'm not sure, but Lopez isn't buying. PM tells Saimon what's going on and he freaks out as only Saimon can.
Lola is yelling at Cheque in front of the whole cuartel. I'm not sure what he replies, but it really freaks Lola out and she totally goes off on him. She keeps making weird faces and he says adios to everyone. Lety tells Lola to calm down. Luigi comes in with the models and he makes fun of the cuartel , tells the models the rude names he has for each of them., then they leave. Saimon comes up to ask them what they can do to save PM from Lopez's clutches and Lola starts to freak again.
