Pasión de Gavilanes, Thurs., July 24,
Leandro gets fed up with Benito and tells him to shut up and eat
Benito gets closer to his food than he likes
Dínora in disguise
Now that's weird looking!
It looked for a while like Juan wasn't going to be in this episode at all but he finally showed up
Olegario gets caught out in this two timing ways with the help of the fruit sons. I'm glad it was Dominga that discovered him and Quintina and not the other way around. Dominga is young and pretty. She can find someone else (like Miguel or Manolo).
After what happened before, did Carmela really think she was going to get away with throwing out Martin's stuff? Didn't Fernando tell her and Malcom not to provoke the sisters?
Dínora's disguise didn't seem to fool anyone. She reminded me of Antonia in LT in her 'George' disguise.
Why on earth did Norma, Jimena and Sarita think that it was a good idea to tell Grabi about Feonando gambling with his buddies? Grabi knew that they came to the house. What was she going to do - admit that her husband is a lowlife? All it did was p*ss Grabi off.
It looks like Feonando sinks even lower tomorrow.

Guapos Wednesday 7/23/08 Guapos really goes to the Diablo tonight
It's just not appropriate to use a funny title for this episode.
Rehash: Mili asks Hugo to come to bed. He gets a gleam in his eye, and she sets him straight--no not what you think, honey . . . He throws his painting aside.
Karla is seen with Fernando.
Mili sees Al on the stairs. She tells him he was right about their bad marriages. She tells him she trusts him.
Lobo is relishing the dessert Marisela prepared. Mari goes to the bathroom, leaving Mat and Lobo alone. Lobo tells how he got rid of Domingo so Mat could have smooth sailing; Mat has his loyalty, so he shouldn't abuse it. Mari comes back, and Lobo prepares to leave, offering congratulations on their upcoming marriage.
The big meeting is assembled. Luci bears her newly returned shares. Damian looks at them incredulously, as he is expecting invisible ink, but no such luck for him. Mili reveals the shocking news that she has fired Mat and Al is her new rep.
When everyone leaves, Connie tells Luci that her game was well played--now they should go home and do it under the table.
Hugo and Mili have another argument, which I could not get all the details.
Soco, Lina, and Gloria joke in the kitchen about how hard they work. There's no servants' day--er, domestic workers, if you please--the way they have secretaries' day and bosses' day. They imagine what fun they'd have if the bosses and servants traded places. Karla comes in, and I'm not sure, but it seems like they play a trick on her and tell her that the next day is official servants' day. No time for jokes, as Karla is off to rehearse her wedding at the church--the wedding is the next day.
Over at the church, we see Padre M, Damian, Connie, and Karla. Connie makes a few remarks that raise Padre M's eyebrows. Karla simply exults in her good fortune that is finally just within her grasp. Finally, as Karla and Damian leave, Connie says, poor idiot, if he only knew what she was doing. I don't get this, but I guess Connie somehow learned about Fernando, but he doesn't know that Damian was paying Fernando off himself.
Hugo tells Flo about Mili made Al her rep.
Peralta is meeting with Connie in his office and warning Connie not to let his wife get drunk at some upcoming political event--we can't have a repeat of what happened at the wedding. Connie waxes pompously about his new position as party president. As if that wasn't enough hot air, Peralta passes gas.
Luci is trying on a very tight blue dress for the affair while Braulio praises her effusively. Just in time to burst her bubble comes Andrea, who says Luci shouldn't get too comfy in the wifey role. Luci says that everything's perfect in her marriage. Oh, yeah? Andrea grabs the dress and rips it. Braulio accuses her of ruining a work of art.
Socorro gets Gloria alone in the kitchen and questions her some more about the likely pregnancy. Gloria swears nothing happened and nothing is wrong and tells Socorro to butt out. Gloria protests too much, methinks.
Al comes in to see Flor, who is angry about his helping Mili. He asks who told her--his shrew of a mother or his jerk of a cousin? They fight some more, and he defends Mili, who at least trusts him and think he is honest and capable--unlike his own wife.
What's more, don't bother asking me to manage your business, he says. It's too late--I want a divorce!
Flo begs him not to leave her. He says he doesn't have to be married to take care of the child. Connie comes in, and Flo turns to him for hehlp. He begs him to tell Al not to leave her. Connie drags Al into the back office for a tune-up.
Mat and Fern are getting on their motorcycles with a few last jokes about Karla. Fern drives away, and a huge black SUV drives up with Lobo. Mat gets in the back seat looking rather tentative. It must be he knows that he should not have raided the Acorralada wardrobe closet again for that blinding orange sweater.
Damian comes in to see Hugo, who is paining. Is that Leonor? he asks. Hugo says something about the terrible pain of children who lose their mothers. Damian reminds him that he's getting married tomorrow--to Karla. Hugo says she is ligera de cascos, or flighty. (she's more than that--remember when she was sleeping with amnesiac Hugo? Maybe he doesn't remember . . .)
Damian doesn't understand why Hugo is letting Al take over. Well, what does he expect him to do about it? Damian himself was fool enough to lose Hugo's shares.
Al and Connie are now having a big shouting match in the library about the usual. What kind of father are you going to be, Connie asks. The same as you! Take that. Al warns Connie not to provoke him further. But Connie says he has Mili's best interests at heart.
Back to Lobo and Mat. Lobo hands Mat an envelope that looks like the one Connie handed the mysterious black-coated figure a couple of weeks ago. Probably not the same, though. Mat asks if this is what he thinks it is. Lobo warns him not to ask dumb questions.
Now for the money scene: We see Mili sulking on her bed when Florencia comes in. I hate you, she says to Mili. You did it. You took my husband. Flo brandishes a knife, but she is not there to stab Mili. No, she slowly slits her own wrists and falls to the ground as Mili, and we, look on in horror. Mili shouts for help, and Val comes in, followed quickly by Luci, who immediately accuses Mili of killing Flor. Val defends Mili, and Luci yells at Val. Andrea suddenly appears and tells Luci to stop yelling at her daughter. Val defends Andrea. Luci tells her to stop defending the slut who goes with her father. Mili says stop, somebody call a doctor! I really couldn't believe how long they let this colloquy go on without calling a doctor. I know there's a telenovela rule about dragging these scenes out, but this stretched even the usual rule. Braulio comes in and faints at the sight of the blood.
Mat and Lobo are still negotiating, although Mat is now in the front seat? Lobo wants Mat to go over to the Belmonte castle with Mari on the pretense of seeing Flor. He will leave the evidence there and let him know when it's ready. Then they will go to the next step. Mat looks pretty scared now, as he knows that he is in over his head. Lobo says the police know the plane crash was sabotage, so they must take care to avoid having the evidence point to them and have it point at Connie. Mat says that he had thought it would be great if Connie was guilty of the plane crash, because he would have him out of the way and not have to worry about the money Connie gave him to help. But this seems like too much. He thought it was an accident.
Lobo warns him again. Everything is arranged, and Mat better do his part. He tells Mat to leave the car.
Al is still arguing with Connie and now accuses him of killing Domingo. Connie is enraged and holds Al's tie like a noose. Just then, Nestor comes in out of nowhere and tells him to let go--of his son. Al is relieved but rejects Nestor's help, as he still doesn't accept him as father.
Mili and Hugo are now rehashing the Flor story. She's going to be okay, but Mili had a bad experience, seeing Flor cut herself right in front of her eyes. What made her do it? Hugo reminds her that he told Flor about the shares. They don't know that Al asked for a divorce, I think. Hugo then seems to be telling Mili not to go with Al, because she setting up Flor's child for a repeat of Mili's own story: a mother who dies in pain and leaves an orphan.
The doctor tells Al that Flor will be okay, but he has to keep watch on her. I'm amazed they're treating her at home, but I guess they don't want her to be in the hospital with a suicide history.
Al approaches a sleeping Flo and asks why she did it and begs her forgiveness.
Cut to comic relief, of all things. Karla is sitting on Damian's back, sort of giving him a massage and complaining about Flor. Couldn't she have waited waited till after Karla's wedding to slit her wrists? The nerve! Damian says she shouldn't worry--nothing will darken her big day. Karla asks if he is having a bachelor party, and he is not, as I understand. He wants her to have a bachelorette party, but she only wants to be with her chicken pimp. He ushers her out on the pretense of fending off seven years' bad luck.
Down in the hallway, Flo's doctor is violating HIPAA by telling Connie, Luci, Andrea, and Nestor all about Flo's condition. Marisela and Mat come in, and she wants to see her sister immediately. Mat looks like he would be pulling his collar if he weren't still wearing that orange sweater. Connie asks if he's all right.
Upstairs, Al exits Flo's room to find Mili in the hall. She asks him how Flor is--she was worried. It was all her fault and she's sorry. They hug, and Mari comes up just in time to catch them. You are the worst, Mari tells Al, warning him to watch out. Cut
Tomorrow: Al tells Mili of his suspicions regarding the plane crash. We still don't know who slashed the painting.
Rehash: Mili asks Hugo to come to bed. He gets a gleam in his eye, and she sets him straight--no not what you think, honey . . . He throws his painting aside.
Karla is seen with Fernando.
Mili sees Al on the stairs. She tells him he was right about their bad marriages. She tells him she trusts him.

Enemiga - 7-23-08 - Sara gets back IN the job, Diana gets INtuition, Rossy gets INsensed, and Al gets IN good graces again
We start with the Pas still telling Sara they can’t take any of Abue Rica’s (Horty) money, especially because then Horty will think all is forgiven. Sara responds: It’s my right to use the money that will one day be mine to help you if I want. Pas don’t want her to tell abue about their bad fortune either. They apologize for raising voice .
Di complains about how everything went wrong and here is her Dad’s Ma being rich. Pa hears this and runs in saying that’s right...she is the millionaire not us. Besides I’ve got money because I mortgaged the house. He believes it’s right to pay for the cars and rebuild the shop.
Chalo is bugging Sara for his nookie because you know, he could have been dead now, but Sara says no time I have to keep on scheming. He whines.
Sara is packing to go to abue she doesn’t want to participate in revenge. Everything would be so easy if they would just forgive Abue. Zully runs upset to Omar.
Lore is still sitting by the stormy window.
Sara whines that Abue doesn’t even have Vasco to support her. Abue is so alone. Ma is disgusted. She is also upset that she could leave so soon after just finding them. Di listens in. Sara says she doesn’t want to have to choose between them either and this is sooooo difficult for her. Finally Pa gives in and says working with her fine, but you don’t live with her in her house. Sara smiles.
Di is getting the picture and complains to Vasco how Sara is manipulating her Pas. Vasco is kinder. Yeah, men are more clueless about female manipulation than women are. Vasco thinks it’s weird that she has such an affinity for his G-ma too, but he thinks well, she’s been void of family for so long and Snorty was the first one to fill the post, so Sara must feel some special allegiance to her.
Ma tells Di that Sara has agreed to stay and Pa has agreed to let her work with Abue.
Paula find keys in Betti’s jacket and takes the keys and chimes that she is going to sneak in and see exactly how ex-hubby lives.
Al & Tori chat about the news reporting an irresponsible driver, and then the story about Chalo getting hit by an older driver. Tori gets the hint.
Di calls Sara on her berrinche. Sara says it wasn’t but Di thinks at least emotional blackmail and she doesn’t want to fight either but she would like Sara to have more consideration for her parents.
Al tells Pa why Lore isn’t here and they are eating dirt again. He tells the story about Chalo. Pa says the guy should make the first move if he doesn’t want to keep fighting because she’s a woman. Pa doesn’t think Lore would trade him. He encourages sonny to go after her if she really matters. Say good bye to the problems.
Zully and Omar are discussing how weird it is that Sara defends the evil witch. They agree that money has colored her and that she is very materialistic. OK, they get the picture now. We know though that for the sake of plot line they are going to forget this little observation over and over again.
Lore wonders with Julian how it could be that everyone got sick from their food. She also talks about probably never getting back with Al. He cheers her that she can lean on them like family. Sara comes out and announces she’s going back to work with Snorty, oh, and Lore you better not be late for class. I notice she is getting Ferro’s hint and has a very low cut dress on this time and it’s actually different than before.
Back in the kitchen Di is telling Vasco that she knows Sara is her sis but something just ain’t right, she feels like Sara is a bad person. Vasco has that sense too. Oddly, he’s FINALLY changed his shirt!! But, ironically it doesn’t make sense to do this now, because he was sitting at the table earlier in the other shirt and it doesn’t really look like he would have left it, yet he has on the other shirt. Whatever. Guess I’m becoming an Anon#1 noticing everyone's clothes. Funny.
Lore comes in and muses more with Vasco and Di about the food issues. She and Julian go into the kitchen to start cooking. Di remarks that the opposite is happening with Lore as with Sara, instead, she is liking Lore more and more each day.
Lore tries to cheer Zully up, and tells of her idea to sell grilled tacos and pass out menus to each buyer. She has to go out and won’t help.
Pau shares her key discovery with Greta and she is more than happy to go with and even suggests that they duplicate the keys for future use.
Sara shows back up at work, oddly, she has pinned up her dress and is now hiding her cleavage. This is like the third time I’ve seen this. Odd. Jaqui gives her a job that she usually does every year for the San Jorge golf club saying Sara should learn more. Sara is pleased that she would do this for her.
Lore attracts a man to her taco stand who orders tacos de chicharrones for like 40 cents and gets a flyer for him and his sister. Another man walks up.
Jaqui is showing Sara stuff when Jaime comes in surprised to see her and hints at Jaqui to disappear. Sara tells that she convinced her Pa. Jaime is glad and wishes her Pa would take his help.
Zully shows up at the mansion to demand that Snorty not to buy off Sara. Snorty says people change and Zully says yeah, people, but you aren’t human. This boils her blood finally and it begins spilling out as she yells at Zully and calls her a measly house cleaner (afanadora).
Zully says there's that loving witch Horty that I knew, she wishes Sara saw this side. Smirk. Snorty te;;s her too, ha, your daughter is just like me or worse, why do you think she's working for me. Snorty asks Zully if when her daughter dreamt about her mother if she saw a good for nothing onion and garlic chopper. This earns Snorty a bofetada (slap).
Snorty throws her out and Zully says her daughter will remain with them because she cares about them and all your millions can't do anything because you'll end up in jail..
Lore and Juli are still in the park. All of a sudden they are attracting customers like flies. You know what else attracts flies. How funny. Anyway, she has raja con crema, tinga, mole, (super great site by the way) & chicharron en salsa verde.
Sara is kissing Jaqui's behind that she doesn't have the tasting experience that Jacqui does and Jac suggests they taste the dishes today and surprise Snorty. Sara suspects a trick, but agrees.
In the kitchen, Rossy and Maru are thanking their lucky stars that the witch and witchlet haven't shown up yet, when the mere utterance has summoned them, well part of them noticeably absent is Snorty and we know this signals trouble. Sara and Jacqui taste the food and all agree it's good. Rossy mocks them.
Omar is begging the guy to get the house deal in order as soon as possible because he really needs the money. Just then the "sorry" brother shows up. Jaime goes to try and give charity to Omar who of course pulls macho and won’t take any help. He thinks the help is only being offered so they wouldn't send him to jail, but Jaime says he's blood, yeah even though a little late on that.
Lore and Julian are just sending tacos off on the fly but they have to stop around 2:30 so she can go to school. Julian is already worn out.
More musing about the bad food. Vasco asks Di to the anniv party that she is already invited too. It's the org's 20th birthday. Cute.
Zully comes home and Jaime begs on bended knee for forgiveness but she says it's better if he leaves.
Jaqui tells Snorty they tasted the dishes already and she rips Jaqui a new one, not wanting to see her for a week. We knew this was coming.
Pau and Greta check out the love nest of the ex and remark at it’s luxury. Pau thinks everything is in her style and thinks this should have been her life.
Sara wants to help Jaqui who runs into the bathroom upset that she was sent home for a week.
Snorty chews out Maruja for letting the girls taste instead of her royal highness. They pull out the dishes again. Now if they were the same ones, of course they would be icky by now. Of course she likes none of them and expects them to be redone.
Rossy calls her a maniac. She suggests that everyone just leaves work in order to annoy that woman.
After the break Rossy channels Che Guevara and wants to start a revolution, that everyone has worked hard and doesn’t deserve to be mistreated. Maru tries to talk her out of it. Chef tells her too, he needs the work to feed his family and can't be a part of the "movement." Finally Maru threatens her impliedly with being fired, and she relents and Head chef Guy tells her it's not really better in other businesses than here, so relax.
Snorty chews out Sara for tasting the plates and Sara kisses her behind bad and says it will never happen again if she knew it would upset her she wouldn't have done it. Snorty bad mouths Jacqui, but also tells Sara that her Ma came to smack her down. Sara is sorry and ashamed, but says they let her back to work here, and slowly she is able to convince them to give her whatever she asks. Snorty says each day she cares less if they forgive her. Sara says well forgive you maybe not, but at least not press charges. She says they are now so saddled with debt they don't have a cent to pay an attorney. This spikes suspicion in the old witch and she wonders if Sara had something to do with the fire. Sara doesn't deny this, but procures an interesting quirky face and smiles saying for her Abuela to trust her. Snorty still unsure but suspecting, smirks back.
At the lesser house, Lore hands over a good bit of money to Zully and they thank her for helping them - Julian says Lore was a pro and not ashamed at all. Lore says she has to get ready to go to school now. Zully and Omar remark that it's Sara's first day too. She invites Lore to eat wth them and then they will all go over to the school together. She made chiles rellenos! Lore agrees.
The secret mission continues over at the lux apartment. Greta actually makes Pau a tea in their cups to calm Pau. Pau continues to complain about how all this stuff was her idea, and she can't believe that woman is living the life she should have, blah blah blah...just then they hear some key shaking and realizr someone is coming in. They leave the tea cup on the table, and all the pillows in disarray and run to hide behind the sofa. Jacqui comes in sits down moving the pillows and relaxes. Pau pops up to look at her and Greta grabs her head back down and reminds her to be quiet.
At the clinic Bruno goes in to see Al and asks if he has seen Sara. He says she's probably fine, why? Bruno says he would have liked to see her again. Al says well go look for her then. Bruno says he was thinking of that, to go and see her at work, but Al says well she's probably not there because today she and Lore start school. Bruno smiles and must get an idea...
Behind the sofa, Pau can barely contain her anger, when ex-hubby shows up. Jacqui thanks him for his support because she feels really bad and hates Snorty. He tells her she doesn't need to work, that's what he's for. this of course earns another wince from Paula. But luckily jacqui says she wants to work. Dario has something to take her mind off of it all, choose their honeymoon destination. Jacqui says no, you pick, she doesn't care. Of course he says he's always wanted to go to Thailand and Jacqui says that sounds great, then that's where we'll go. Another wince from Pau who is almost ready to body slam these two.
Attention finally turns to the cup on the table. He didn't put it there and she swears she didn't forget it from last night either. She thinks there are ghosts in the aparttment. Dario cracks up and says no way and knows how to relax her. They start going at it. Finally moving to the bedroom. At this point Greta and Pau make their circus exit. After the door closes, Jac runs back in swearing she heard noises. Jiggly tits follows her (sorry, he's still in pretty good shape for a guy his age, but it's best if he stands still and doesn't run. I'm used to Alejandro in Guapos and those Reyes guys with their shirts off, so in comparison.....)
Down on the street the gals muse about how they were almost caught. Pau muses about how Jacqui has Pau's life. I tell ya, this is the worst, but there is nothing you can do except suck it up and move on. Greta agrees with me because she thinks that Pau should never have heard all that stuff.
On the street in front of work Bruno catches up to Sara and brings her a smallish bouquet of flowers for luck. He offers to take her to school, but she says he Tia's chauffeur will take her and besides his patients need him more than she does and he should not have troubled himself with as busy as he is. She rolls down the window and takes off smirking at him. He smirks back.
At the institute we see Lore with her true family getting off the micro. Oh the irony them on the bus and Sara with the driver. Ha Ha. They go inside and Zully wants to make sure they have the camera. Julian says that's the fifth time they asked. They go inside and start taking pictures everywhere of all combinations. Sara shows up. Then someone asks who is Lorena. Turns out Alonzo has sent her a giant basket of flowers and stuff with a bear. Sara can only look on in envy. We then see that Alonzo is outside of the window waving and making goofy faces. Lore motions she thanks him.
Thanks for your patience....
Di complains about how everything went wrong and here is her Dad’s Ma being rich. Pa hears this and runs in saying that’s right...she is the millionaire not us. Besides I’ve got money because I mortgaged the house. He believes it’s right to pay for the cars and rebuild the shop.
Chalo is bugging Sara for his nookie because you know, he could have been dead now, but Sara says no time I have to keep on scheming. He whines.
Sara is packing to go to abue she doesn’t want to participate in revenge. Everything would be so easy if they would just forgive Abue. Zully runs upset to Omar.
Lore is still sitting by the stormy window.
Sara whines that Abue doesn’t even have Vasco to support her. Abue is so alone. Ma is disgusted. She is also upset that she could leave so soon after just finding them. Di listens in. Sara says she doesn’t want to have to choose between them either and this is sooooo difficult for her. Finally Pa gives in and says working with her fine, but you don’t live with her in her house. Sara smiles.
Di is getting the picture and complains to Vasco how Sara is manipulating her Pas. Vasco is kinder. Yeah, men are more clueless about female manipulation than women are. Vasco thinks it’s weird that she has such an affinity for his G-ma too, but he thinks well, she’s been void of family for so long and Snorty was the first one to fill the post, so Sara must feel some special allegiance to her.
Ma tells Di that Sara has agreed to stay and Pa has agreed to let her work with Abue.
Paula find keys in Betti’s jacket and takes the keys and chimes that she is going to sneak in and see exactly how ex-hubby lives.
Al & Tori chat about the news reporting an irresponsible driver, and then the story about Chalo getting hit by an older driver. Tori gets the hint.
Di calls Sara on her berrinche. Sara says it wasn’t but Di thinks at least emotional blackmail and she doesn’t want to fight either but she would like Sara to have more consideration for her parents.
Al tells Pa why Lore isn’t here and they are eating dirt again. He tells the story about Chalo. Pa says the guy should make the first move if he doesn’t want to keep fighting because she’s a woman. Pa doesn’t think Lore would trade him. He encourages sonny to go after her if she really matters. Say good bye to the problems.
Zully and Omar are discussing how weird it is that Sara defends the evil witch. They agree that money has colored her and that she is very materialistic. OK, they get the picture now. We know though that for the sake of plot line they are going to forget this little observation over and over again.
Lore wonders with Julian how it could be that everyone got sick from their food. She also talks about probably never getting back with Al. He cheers her that she can lean on them like family. Sara comes out and announces she’s going back to work with Snorty, oh, and Lore you better not be late for class. I notice she is getting Ferro’s hint and has a very low cut dress on this time and it’s actually different than before.
Back in the kitchen Di is telling Vasco that she knows Sara is her sis but something just ain’t right, she feels like Sara is a bad person. Vasco has that sense too. Oddly, he’s FINALLY changed his shirt!! But, ironically it doesn’t make sense to do this now, because he was sitting at the table earlier in the other shirt and it doesn’t really look like he would have left it, yet he has on the other shirt. Whatever. Guess I’m becoming an Anon#1 noticing everyone's clothes. Funny.
Lore comes in and muses more with Vasco and Di about the food issues. She and Julian go into the kitchen to start cooking. Di remarks that the opposite is happening with Lore as with Sara, instead, she is liking Lore more and more each day.
Lore tries to cheer Zully up, and tells of her idea to sell grilled tacos and pass out menus to each buyer. She has to go out and won’t help.
Pau shares her key discovery with Greta and she is more than happy to go with and even suggests that they duplicate the keys for future use.
Sara shows back up at work, oddly, she has pinned up her dress and is now hiding her cleavage. This is like the third time I’ve seen this. Odd. Jaqui gives her a job that she usually does every year for the San Jorge golf club saying Sara should learn more. Sara is pleased that she would do this for her.
Lore attracts a man to her taco stand who orders tacos de chicharrones for like 40 cents and gets a flyer for him and his sister. Another man walks up.
Jaqui is showing Sara stuff when Jaime comes in surprised to see her and hints at Jaqui to disappear. Sara tells that she convinced her Pa. Jaime is glad and wishes her Pa would take his help.
Zully shows up at the mansion to demand that Snorty not to buy off Sara. Snorty says people change and Zully says yeah, people, but you aren’t human. This boils her blood finally and it begins spilling out as she yells at Zully and calls her a measly house cleaner (afanadora).
Zully says there's that loving witch Horty that I knew, she wishes Sara saw this side. Smirk. Snorty te;;s her too, ha, your daughter is just like me or worse, why do you think she's working for me. Snorty asks Zully if when her daughter dreamt about her mother if she saw a good for nothing onion and garlic chopper. This earns Snorty a bofetada (slap).
Snorty throws her out and Zully says her daughter will remain with them because she cares about them and all your millions can't do anything because you'll end up in jail..
Lore and Juli are still in the park. All of a sudden they are attracting customers like flies. You know what else attracts flies. How funny. Anyway, she has raja con crema, tinga, mole, (super great site by the way) & chicharron en salsa verde.
Sara is kissing Jaqui's behind that she doesn't have the tasting experience that Jacqui does and Jac suggests they taste the dishes today and surprise Snorty. Sara suspects a trick, but agrees.
In the kitchen, Rossy and Maru are thanking their lucky stars that the witch and witchlet haven't shown up yet, when the mere utterance has summoned them, well part of them noticeably absent is Snorty and we know this signals trouble. Sara and Jacqui taste the food and all agree it's good. Rossy mocks them.
Omar is begging the guy to get the house deal in order as soon as possible because he really needs the money. Just then the "sorry" brother shows up. Jaime goes to try and give charity to Omar who of course pulls macho and won’t take any help. He thinks the help is only being offered so they wouldn't send him to jail, but Jaime says he's blood, yeah even though a little late on that.
Lore and Julian are just sending tacos off on the fly but they have to stop around 2:30 so she can go to school. Julian is already worn out.
More musing about the bad food. Vasco asks Di to the anniv party that she is already invited too. It's the org's 20th birthday. Cute.
Zully comes home and Jaime begs on bended knee for forgiveness but she says it's better if he leaves.
Jaqui tells Snorty they tasted the dishes already and she rips Jaqui a new one, not wanting to see her for a week. We knew this was coming.
Pau and Greta check out the love nest of the ex and remark at it’s luxury. Pau thinks everything is in her style and thinks this should have been her life.
Sara wants to help Jaqui who runs into the bathroom upset that she was sent home for a week.
Snorty chews out Maruja for letting the girls taste instead of her royal highness. They pull out the dishes again. Now if they were the same ones, of course they would be icky by now. Of course she likes none of them and expects them to be redone.
Rossy calls her a maniac. She suggests that everyone just leaves work in order to annoy that woman.
After the break Rossy channels Che Guevara and wants to start a revolution, that everyone has worked hard and doesn’t deserve to be mistreated. Maru tries to talk her out of it. Chef tells her too, he needs the work to feed his family and can't be a part of the "movement." Finally Maru threatens her impliedly with being fired, and she relents and Head chef Guy tells her it's not really better in other businesses than here, so relax.
Snorty chews out Sara for tasting the plates and Sara kisses her behind bad and says it will never happen again if she knew it would upset her she wouldn't have done it. Snorty bad mouths Jacqui, but also tells Sara that her Ma came to smack her down. Sara is sorry and ashamed, but says they let her back to work here, and slowly she is able to convince them to give her whatever she asks. Snorty says each day she cares less if they forgive her. Sara says well forgive you maybe not, but at least not press charges. She says they are now so saddled with debt they don't have a cent to pay an attorney. This spikes suspicion in the old witch and she wonders if Sara had something to do with the fire. Sara doesn't deny this, but procures an interesting quirky face and smiles saying for her Abuela to trust her. Snorty still unsure but suspecting, smirks back.
At the lesser house, Lore hands over a good bit of money to Zully and they thank her for helping them - Julian says Lore was a pro and not ashamed at all. Lore says she has to get ready to go to school now. Zully and Omar remark that it's Sara's first day too. She invites Lore to eat wth them and then they will all go over to the school together. She made chiles rellenos! Lore agrees.
The secret mission continues over at the lux apartment. Greta actually makes Pau a tea in their cups to calm Pau. Pau continues to complain about how all this stuff was her idea, and she can't believe that woman is living the life she should have, blah blah blah...just then they hear some key shaking and realizr someone is coming in. They leave the tea cup on the table, and all the pillows in disarray and run to hide behind the sofa. Jacqui comes in sits down moving the pillows and relaxes. Pau pops up to look at her and Greta grabs her head back down and reminds her to be quiet.
At the clinic Bruno goes in to see Al and asks if he has seen Sara. He says she's probably fine, why? Bruno says he would have liked to see her again. Al says well go look for her then. Bruno says he was thinking of that, to go and see her at work, but Al says well she's probably not there because today she and Lore start school. Bruno smiles and must get an idea...
Behind the sofa, Pau can barely contain her anger, when ex-hubby shows up. Jacqui thanks him for his support because she feels really bad and hates Snorty. He tells her she doesn't need to work, that's what he's for. this of course earns another wince from Paula. But luckily jacqui says she wants to work. Dario has something to take her mind off of it all, choose their honeymoon destination. Jacqui says no, you pick, she doesn't care. Of course he says he's always wanted to go to Thailand and Jacqui says that sounds great, then that's where we'll go. Another wince from Pau who is almost ready to body slam these two.
Attention finally turns to the cup on the table. He didn't put it there and she swears she didn't forget it from last night either. She thinks there are ghosts in the aparttment. Dario cracks up and says no way and knows how to relax her. They start going at it. Finally moving to the bedroom. At this point Greta and Pau make their circus exit. After the door closes, Jac runs back in swearing she heard noises. Jiggly tits follows her (sorry, he's still in pretty good shape for a guy his age, but it's best if he stands still and doesn't run. I'm used to Alejandro in Guapos and those Reyes guys with their shirts off, so in comparison.....)
Down on the street the gals muse about how they were almost caught. Pau muses about how Jacqui has Pau's life. I tell ya, this is the worst, but there is nothing you can do except suck it up and move on. Greta agrees with me because she thinks that Pau should never have heard all that stuff.
On the street in front of work Bruno catches up to Sara and brings her a smallish bouquet of flowers for luck. He offers to take her to school, but she says he Tia's chauffeur will take her and besides his patients need him more than she does and he should not have troubled himself with as busy as he is. She rolls down the window and takes off smirking at him. He smirks back.
At the institute we see Lore with her true family getting off the micro. Oh the irony them on the bus and Sara with the driver. Ha Ha. They go inside and Zully wants to make sure they have the camera. Julian says that's the fifth time they asked. They go inside and start taking pictures everywhere of all combinations. Sara shows up. Then someone asks who is Lorena. Turns out Alonzo has sent her a giant basket of flowers and stuff with a bear. Sara can only look on in envy. We then see that Alonzo is outside of the window waving and making goofy faces. Lore motions she thanks him.
Thanks for your patience....

Fuego, Wed., July 24: If I had a dollar for every brain Juan doesn't have, I'd have one dollar.
Buenas noches a todos. I got a late start tonight, sorry. I will edit tomorrow morning.
Horse-back Juan comes galloping along and finds a violated Sofia lying under a tree. Some one tried to rape her; I wonder who it was?
After the little bar brawl at the Tumbao Gabi gives a little speech about her daughter’s being engaged and how they embarrass her. Might I say that this scene is enhanced by the strategically-covered, or uncovered, Niurka. Gabi makes it clear that she is never a fun thing for anyone. That’s funny because practically everyone I know laughs at her five days a week.
Octavio asks Niurka if she is happy when she hurts others.
Oscar has come to the wonderful conclusion that he has lost Jimena forever. His overly-supportive brother tells him that’s what he gets for being an interested SOB. Franco handles the situation by serenading Oscar. Sometimes he just doesn’t know when to quit…
Gabi demands that Jimena give her an explanation. Everyone wants to know why Jimena caused that little scandle back at the club. Sarita warns her mother that she shouldn’t become antsy because she is sick. “Yeah, sick of you!” says Gabi. Afterall, Sunday is the wedding and Gabi is more than happy to finally get rid of Dumb and Dumber.
Juan kicks in the gate to his house with Sofia in his arms. He tells them that someone tried to rape Sofia. This is the signal for the back-up bros. to arm themselves immediately. As you know, the best way to solve any problem is by taking the situation into your own hands. Juan, a law-abiding tax-payer convinces the bros. to put the plastic gunnies away, and to consider the situation with calmness. Oscar doesn’t comprehend this idea, and wants to know how long they are going to put up with these attacks.
Gramps has asked the one ranch hand to help him with the planning of the corn fields. Since this man has lived on the hacienda all of his life, he is the perfect consultant and knows full well that them there corn fields didn’t use to belong to no Elizondo family. As fate may have it, the tree with the initials ‘FR’ marks this usurped land. That’s funny. It seems that that tree is the same tree that Juan recalls from his childhood. Gramps acknowledges that the land was never theirs, but it is now. How did that happen?
Juan is on his soap box-again. I love how he has to remind his family of their last name. “We are the Reyes family. I would spell that for you, but I don’t know how, and you wouldn’t understand. Anyway, we must stick together.” Juan, how does this have anything to do with Sofia’s attempted rape? Apparently Juan has boiling blood from Sofia’s incident. However, he makes it quite clear that he doesn’t give a cucumber for her, but instead his, dare I say bastard, child. It’s all about getting your priorities straight…
The ranch hand tells Gramps that the land adjacent to the Uribe’s used to belong to the Robles family.
Juan has now given the family a hyphenated name: Robles-Reyes. The conversation has yet again changed. Now he tells them that the Reyes family never loses and always comes out ahead. If I had a dollar for every brain Juan doesn’t have, I’d have $1.00.
Jimena is crying to Eva that she will never talk to Oscar again. She has decided that the best thing to do is to marry the Uribe boy. Sarita tells her that the Reyes are selfish pigs. I hate to say this, but I haven’t watched FELS in a week, and practically nothing has changed.
As it turns out, Sofia had a nervous break-down. Juan doesn’t have enough money to pay the doctor. But not to worry, that’s the doctor’s job to take care of people. Why should he get paid for that? Oscar is thinking about visiting Jimena. He can’t lose the love of his life, but then again, did he ever have her? Frankie reminds him that the wedding is this Sunday. Time’s a tickin’…
Apparently Juan watched Sofia sleep all night. I bet he actually fell asleep as soon as they turned the camera off…
So the local authorities summoned Fernie to the equivalent of a police station for questioning. They say that he is a suspect because Mapache whispered his name as he died. Now I know that Fernie did it, but I wouldn’t call the evidence solid. My neighbor died with a Madonna t-shirt on; does that mean that Madonna killed her? It happened in that one movie…
It is so obvious that Jimena is sucking-in her stomach. Anyway, she’s begging Octavio to marry her immediately. It’s okay that they don’t love each other because over time they will learn to do so. Obviously, she has not learned anything from Bernie and Gabi, or any other novella character in the past fifty years. Octavio tells her that that will never happen because he doesn’t like women; he is in love with Bruno. They have been a couple for many years. Boy, that shut her up.
Fernie is up to his old tricks and has asked for one of his workers to turn himself over to the authorities for killing Mapache. His right-hand man asks him how he will pay for it, and as always, “that is none of your business.” Some people never learn…
Despite everything that happened, Oscar has asked Jimena to forgive him for his treason. “I swear it was a trap.” Jimena, they all say that. But then again, she’s just stupid enough to believe him. He is on his knees begging her, but she would rather marry a gay man. Given the choice between the two, I think she is actually making a wise choice.
Mid-day-snack time for Gabi. Her friends have brought her some Sofia bread. Gabi rolls her eyes but plays around. Then, she throws the bread down when she hears that they call the bread Sofia. Gabi is convinced that Padre Tadeo is leading a conspiracy against her. This really doesn’t make any sense.
Fernie’s atonement has signed the papers that condemn him, but the officer isn’t convinced at all. Actually, I’d say the guy’s performance was quite convincing when compared to actors such as EY and AN. Ouch!
As Sofia wakes up to Juan’s presence she freaks out and tells him to never touch her again. Okay, this chick is messed up and obviously never received the necessary treatment for her condition. At this point she would need years of rehabilitation. She has crawled up in the corner of her bed like a small rodent. She doesn’t want him to come close. She looks like a lost boy crossed with some sort of wild chimpanzee.
In Puebla, Puebla Gabi has met with the local bishop. Her accusations are alarming, but she is convinced that he is a menace to her family and society. He has promoted rebel attitudes in her children, and even convinced her daughter to marry a baker! The bishop is scared, but since Gabi is telling the truth, he must take immediate action.
Oscar refuses the help of a stranger, a stranger who can help him.
The Uribe boys are trying to push-back the wedding date, but auntie won’t budge. And oh yeah, if you don’t get married on Sunday, forget about the inheritance.
Oscar has decided to make friends with this stranger and confess his relationship with Niurka. Bruno, the stranger, admits that Octavio is more than an associate, but a very good friend/lover.
Gabi now has it in her head that the bishop should take away the Padre’s title. Fernie agrees and starts to kiss Gabi all over. She doesn’t know why he likes her because she is a dry woman without feelings. I ask the same question, but they kiss regardless. Fernie tells Gabi that if Gramps doesn’t sign those documents, he will have to leave town. Gabi freaks out, and tells Fernie that she has a private fortune, and therefore can lend him some dough. Fernie wants to know why she never told him about it. She explains that she had to make sure no one would take advantage of her. He makes sure to kiss her a lot before she rights the check. Doing so usually allows for a few zeros to be added.
Juan tries to feed the wild animal, but she throws the tray in his face and tells him to go away. She hits him as he reaches for her. Ah, I may have mis-diagnosed this animal; she needs solitary confinement for at least the rest of her life-if not longer.
Oscar finally understands that one must respect others if one wishes to be respected. He becomes sentimental when he tells Bruno how much he loves Jimena, and how he lost her.
Eva tells Dumb and Dumber that Sofia was almost raped. They cry. Nothing new.
Gabi has given Fernie the money he wanted. He promises to pay the debts of the hacienda.
As the girls are going to visit their animal of a sister, Gabi stops them and prohibits them from seeing that trashy girl. Fernie offers to drive them to see her. How generous and understanding. Who would ever suspect him as a rapist chauvinist? Gabi is under the impression that Fernie is her boyfriend.
Oh my God, the animal has miraculously, and I mean miraculously, come to her senses and apologizes. How the hell do you go from crazy animal to hopeless romantic between scene changes? Nevertheless, Juan is unaffected and promises to love Sofia forever.
Tomorrow: Oscar couldn’t get Jimena to forgive him, so he has decided to take-up Niurka on her offer. Juan is just about to know who raped Sofia. Yeah right.

Pasión de Gavilanes, Wed., July 22- Concha goes bananas; Dínora takes a bath
Martin tries to strangle Carmela
Concha packs a water pistol
Juan tries to convince Norma to leave the Hacienda
Franco tries to convince Sarita to leave the Hacienda
Óscar tries to convince Jimena to leave the Hacienda
Very funny scene with Concha at the club but it doesn't seem to have advanced the story very much.
And more scenes of the girls refusing to come and live with the muchachos.
At least Gabriela was worried when the horses were mistreated.
What the heck is Dínora doing lurking around the Elizondo hacienda and taking a bath there?

Fuego #60, July 22, Tuesday - Who All Gets Caught With His Pants or Guard Down
So let's see where the game left off: The local village government thinks Pablo needs an orphanage rather than a family relationship that would wrap him in love, just the law, folks.
Gabriela savors memories of her first night of passion, perhaps ever or at the least in decades, and thinks she is better with Feonando as a lover than a son-in-law, just the facts, folks.
Maracuya thinks passionate relations with a drunken Oscar are better than no passion or no relations. Did something happen or not? Oscar pulls a way-beyond-JimmyCarter guilt trip because he can't remember the true evening through his drunken fog. He can't even remember whether he wanted it or not.
We start back with Oscar's pants not only down but OFF. HIs tighty whities are wrapped in a satin cloth. Did she slip him a loaded drink or is he that bad of a drinker? He stumbles into his clothes while Maracuya clings and caresses., He isn't having it, at least not this morning. While he isn't sure what he isn't having this morning, she is luxuriating with sensuous glee. The part that is hard to accept is how those pearl-clad nails stayed on her fingers and didn't appear to be swallowed by either of them. The poke in the eye at least didn't draw blood. We have these small things to be grateful for while we brace ourselves to linger amidst the memories and rerun's of a night of putrid passion in various beds.
Feonando once again at the confessional swears it isn't his fault that he had a hand in Don Bernardo's fall from the horse and subsequent death. To further enwrap the Padre, he tells all the sordid details of the confrontation about Bernardo's affair the young LIbia. He repeats how he set up poor drunken Nabor and we have to watch the sickening scene again of the drunken high guys thinking they hit and killed the already dead Don Bernardo. Paddy Tadeo looks like he is about to hurl lunch all over the confessional. Feo assures him it is to demonstrate this is what he is capable of if someone gets in his way (estorbar).
Padre can't absolve him because he obviously isn't one bit sorry or repentant. You will not be absolved you won't have salvation you will be condemned. But Feo assures him that he knows his confessional secrets are safe. Paddy snears that isn't afraid as he has Jesus Christ with him and together they will conquer Feo. Just then the helpful Rigo has entered the church looks across from his devotions in front of the Virgen. He is concerned at the snaky tones (not to mention the threatening rain stick rattles) he hears and ask if Padre needs help. Feo leaves by the side aisle after squeezing the Padres' hands on the confessional posts.
Sofia comforts Juan sitting on the floor in a funk stroking Mariachi's head, because he has let Pablito down and not kept his promise to take care of him forever. They plan how they will do everything to spring Pablito and adopt him right under the noses of the village officials who dragged the little nipper away.
Pablitio cries alone under a tree at the orphanage still in his darling little Mariachi suit. Juan thinks perhaps Reyes are predestined to lose everything and everyone. If he lost Sofia he would die himself. She repeats this isn't going to happen. He has her and his child, you aren't ever going to lose us my love. (Oops those fatal telenovela words: ever and never)
The Tweedles discuss their marriage dilemma with plans to end the farce or maybe not so fast. T-dum has to tell T-dee that Jimena may not marry Oscar and save him because guess what what he saw in Maracuya's room. Marriages to the poor servant or the poor gay partner seem farther away than ever as they consider the indiscretions of the silly Oscar.
Oscar still reeling with his dizzy hangover tries to talk with Jimena. She warns that her mother is coming down at any moment and Jimena must accompany her to the doctor.
Rigo approaches Paddy Tad and says he saw what looked like an argument with Don Feo and he would like to help. He came to pray a little. He prays that Eugenia will be happy with Benito. Her happiness is more important to him than his own. Make note of this kindness there aren't many unselfish people in this story and we need to treasure the few we see.
In the bakery. Juan decides they can't open the bakery without Pablito. They decide to pack up all the bread they just made for the orphans.
Oscar drags his sorry burro into the bakery to confess to Juan since Jimena wouldn't listen to him.
***********************
Feo acts executive-like in the office while he reruns the brain movie of his passion with Gabi. He seems pleased with himself as he carves a notch in his, (just kidding) the grin of a man well satisfied with himself.
The dreamy eyed Gabi descends the stairs (man, that was better than a month of aroma therapy) while he thanks her for the marvelous night of love. She wants to organize and regain control of her feelings and the impending wedding, he wants to take his pants down again.
Juan sits waiting for Franco to come in so the sorry Oscar can sputter his words out as he flicks cigarette ashes like sprinkles on the new bread. He did something really bad, and you can see I am really sorry. I betrayed Jimena...
Back in the den of iniquity, Maracuya realizes that if it is true that Jimena won't forgive his betrayal, she could end up with Oscar. Now how to be sure that Jimena learns of the tryst...
Oscar has to listen to Franco get his words in of how he was condemned for loving two women and maybe now Oscar sees his plight. Oscar assures both but especially Juan that he loves only Jimena. Juan is ashamed of the way Oscar acted like someone who wasn't brought up to have morals and respect, but he is not his father. And Oscar has to act not like a child but a man, further act like a REYES. You have to do the right thing. Juan asks that tough question: if JImena was the unfaithful one would you forgive her. Oscar's head still hurts from both the hangover and all this heavy thinking.
Gabi and Feo talk with Matasanos there really is something wrong with your heart. So it seems the paper Don Augustin stole of the faked heart problem isn't a threat. She really does have an arrhythmia that wasn't there before.
Padre Tadeo prays for help in gathering all the proofs he needs for these dastardly deeds and for guidance on how to handle this heavy charge he has having heard the felonies and capital offenses confessed by Feo.
Matasanos explains that she could have another and worse episode in the future. Feo looks hopeful as he kneads her shoulders not hiding anything from Matasanos, perhaps this is a new tool. (for him it seems so,... opportune on the eve of his ultimatum from the BOSS)
*********************
At the orphanage, Pablito is refusing food and the solicitous kindness of the nuns. Nothing is important to him, but Juan strides in as if he were wearing seven league boots, assuring him that it is important. They carry bread to all the children and promise that he will have to be strong because he is a Reyes and Reyes are strong. Meanwhile they will get official papers to bring him home. Sofia promises that they will adopt him. Sofia kisses the nuns.
Feo admires his evil face in the mirror than chats with the picture of Sofia assuring her that she is his property and will never get away from him. Then he remembers how the doctor told of the illness and how it could be more severe next time Feo in his mind asks again if the episode could be repeated..... Then he gently tears the picture of him and Sofia apart savoring and fondling the Sofia side until he rips it into tiny shreds carefully saving his own side of the photo with tender regard.
The Mother superior tries to explain to Juan that the authorities have the child's welfare to concern themselves with. and Juan and Sofia are not qualified to adopt Pablito nor any other orphan.
Quintiana tells her sister and the nephews about the brutal scene in the orphanage. She tells nephew Rigo that it was his mothers' fault for telling the school officials . They descend into a n argument about orfanatorio vs huerfanatorio. Hortensia swears she had good intentions. Quintina has a tantrum swearing to never see Hortensia again not even a picture. the boys console the sobbing Hortensia.
Gabi tells Tweedle Auntie Raquel that although she no longer can abide nor receive Padre Tadeo in her house to avoid gossip and scandal, they will use PaddyTad. Raquel wants a lovely (read hot and fun) party at the Salon Tumbao.
Paddy Tad and Momsuperior discuss that Juan and Sofia are pure of heart. God loves those that love. She reminds him that it is not she who can decide these things. But all the children put on kerchiefs and make bread with Juan and Franco teaches Pablito how to play the guitar as he sings to the children and Sofia teaches the girls how to sew. They start building projects in the courtyard. The children certainly don't feel like forgotten orphans in this ideal afternoon basking in Reyes love.
Oscar is still in a stew about what to tell Jimena and can't seem to get out of his tiny bedroom. Franco comes in to teach him a pardon me song that may just do the trick.
Next thing we know Eva is telling Oscar at the hacienda that even though she isn't the person good enough to talk to him, she looks hard for twenty seconds, and then she relents telling him that Jimena is on her way to the Salon Tumbao...
****************
She went WHERE?? Perhaps she went to the bachelor party. We switch to the hoochie coochie scene with the prim (comparatively) Jimena watching the hoochie dance of Maracuya.
Nuns around the corner congratulate Juan and Sofia on their day of perfect parenting when little munchkin Victor gets an asthma attack off stage so Juan rescues him with Paddy Tad as they rush off in search of proper medical care.
At the Tumbao everyone at the pre-wedding party table looks hot and bothered. Jimena gets up to go to the bathroom with Sarita, Oscar intercedes and insists they must talk it is so important. Sarita actually covers for her (she is changing her cold tune). Oscar finally blurts out his infidelity. Oh no!
Sofia can't wait to see if little Victor gets worse so she leave the nuns to hurry off to the dispensary but oh no the ugly FEO is in the dark, soaking a rag with something nasty while he awaits to give Sofia the surprise she so deserves. How well he knows his girl. Sofia walks in the dark off the path as usual (she has done this in other telenovelas so you would think she would be more careful by now especially being pregnant). But NOOOOOO, and she doesn't see behind her in time to have Feo get her mouth covered with the nasty cotton with knockout drops, until she loses consciousness. And once again Feo gets to take off his clothes. Clearly he has enjoyed finally drop his pants so is looking for a repeat scene, as he begins to kiss the half conscious Sofia who feebly tries to fight him off he looks around and WE SEE it : THE SNAKE TATOO, proof positive!!
*******************
What a tender rapist! Feo takes time to kiss and use his so called charms . Some shouting in the dark begins like, let her go!, Leave her alone! Let me go!! Well, it scares him off and he leaves her in the leaves under a tree alone in the dark with only the other violence happening nearby out of sight.
Oscar has made his confession that he slept with another woman, JImena can't believe how he could do this when Maracuya in bright orange hat and gold eye goggles makeup approaches to reprove her reproach.... A cat fight par excellence ensues for all to see including the would be in-laws , screaming men are taking bets and Oscar tries to pull them apart. finally the numb Gabi sees the commotion and arrives at the end of the scene only to worry about the scandal.
Juan shows up at the orphanage to find Sofia whom the nuns tell him went off alone (I know dumb, dumb, stupid) Juan rides into the woods screaming he find the half-conscious Sofia and covers her with his cape. She shakes in his arms.
Next time:
Franco and Oscar take up arms to the horror of Paddy Tad. The Bishop arrives. the Reyes - Robles secret is coming out with Rosendo's help with Augustin. Butter wouldn't melt in Feo's mouth as the investigations ensue.
Gabriela savors memories of her first night of passion, perhaps ever or at the least in decades, and thinks she is better with Feonando as a lover than a son-in-law, just the facts, folks.
Maracuya thinks passionate relations with a drunken Oscar are better than no passion or no relations. Did something happen or not? Oscar pulls a way-beyond-JimmyCarter guilt trip because he can't remember the true evening through his drunken fog. He can't even remember whether he wanted it or not.
We start back with Oscar's pants not only down but OFF. HIs tighty whities are wrapped in a satin cloth. Did she slip him a loaded drink or is he that bad of a drinker? He stumbles into his clothes while Maracuya clings and caresses., He isn't having it, at least not this morning. While he isn't sure what he isn't having this morning, she is luxuriating with sensuous glee. The part that is hard to accept is how those pearl-clad nails stayed on her fingers and didn't appear to be swallowed by either of them. The poke in the eye at least didn't draw blood. We have these small things to be grateful for while we brace ourselves to linger amidst the memories and rerun's of a night of putrid passion in various beds.
Feonando once again at the confessional swears it isn't his fault that he had a hand in Don Bernardo's fall from the horse and subsequent death. To further enwrap the Padre, he tells all the sordid details of the confrontation about Bernardo's affair the young LIbia. He repeats how he set up poor drunken Nabor and we have to watch the sickening scene again of the drunken high guys thinking they hit and killed the already dead Don Bernardo. Paddy Tadeo looks like he is about to hurl lunch all over the confessional. Feo assures him it is to demonstrate this is what he is capable of if someone gets in his way (estorbar).
Padre can't absolve him because he obviously isn't one bit sorry or repentant. You will not be absolved you won't have salvation you will be condemned. But Feo assures him that he knows his confessional secrets are safe. Paddy snears that isn't afraid as he has Jesus Christ with him and together they will conquer Feo. Just then the helpful Rigo has entered the church looks across from his devotions in front of the Virgen. He is concerned at the snaky tones (not to mention the threatening rain stick rattles) he hears and ask if Padre needs help.

Guapos 07-22-08 "You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals,So let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel"
This is a shameless and rather tasteless shoutout to the song "The Bad Touch" by the BloodHound Gang...Yes Const and Luci, this is for you two kids. Consti and Luci, they really don't get it, they are so self-centered they are totally unaware of the misery they have wroth.
Okay we start off with a quickie rehash of Val & Rocky, so young so in love…okay I really do like these too and ol Val is so cute. Mili looks on with shaded eyes. Oh the pain.
Anyhow, Al goes & threatens Matt the Ratt, which really isn’t hard, I am pretty sure I could take him, and I am rather old and tired, yet without airbrushing Mateo seems old and tired also.
So now back to the show, Blonde sister is visiting Flor (yes, after all this time I still don’t her name).
She and Flor are talking about how Al can’t be trusted with the company. Al comes in and basically kicks the sisters out as he starts changing his clothes right then and there.
Mili is down stairs in the kitchen with Val and Rocky and Sorrocito. Sorrocito has given them a quenching beverage to quench the thirst they worked up during the vicious soccer game. Val is all nasty and sweaty, yeah like she could ever look bad.
Chaumaco now comes into the kitchen hobbling on his crutches. Sorrocito picks up a small skillet and says she wants to talk to him. Mili leaves. Sorrocito is giving Chaumaco the stink eye and trying to get the 411 from him. The boy is rather clueless, but finally figures out that Sorrocito thinks there may be a kid on the way.
Some guy (I call all these guys like him just TeleNovela Guy, I never know their names but they repeatedly show up in these things), anyway he starts telling Matt that he will guide Matt with the company. He says you better marry blonde babe like yesterday. Matt asks what is his name. “Lobo, VillaLobo”, really he said Villalobo, but I like to add the air of mystery to this guy.
Now Mili and Val are having a girl chatfest, Lina comes in and says she is going to meet Bobby, and that Bobby has some big declaration to make. Val says play it cool.
Now Val and Mili are soul sisters as well as half-sisters, they hug, Luci walks in and has a little hissy. “Why are hugging that nasty fly?” Val, no longer the lil Luci Clone, “Tells her STFU and Mili and I are like sisters, plus a couple of digs about cutting up the picture”. The whole “Like Sisters thing”, makes Luci swallow the small amount of bile that just rose up in her throat. Mili, rubs it in with a “Yeah, we are just like sisters”. Luci turns to run upstairs, nothing gets the taste of barfy bile out of your mouth like a couple of quarts of Capn Morgan. Before Luci, can vamoose Al comes down the steps and gives her the accusing stink-eye. Luci is like “How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is
To have a thankless child!” Thank you Wm Shakespeare. She runs up the steps.
Now Al turns his face of angst upon his might have been sister and his real half sister. Val wants to know what is wrong. But Al just marches out of the house with his little tin soldier stiff leg walk, we have all come to know and love. Val then laments to Mili how unhappy Al is in his marriage to Flor. Yes we get to see the glittering tear sheen of Mili’s eyes.
Al goes out to the garden where Flor and Blonde sis are gulping down big heaping helpings of Kool-Aide.
Al tells Blondie to hit it and he wants to talk to Flor. Flor says Sis wants Matt to handle the money and company. She wants Al to stay away from Mili. Al won’t play and tells her do what ever you want with the company.
Chaumaco is in talking to Gloria, he is beating around the bush…or rather trying to find our if he needs to be worried. Gloria says she is fine. He finally asks her if she is (regular as in monthly) at least that is the way I took it. She says yes, why are you asking, Soccorito comes in. Gloria is not thrilled with the implication and walks out.
Well that is all of that…we will be left to wonder if there is a pan in the oven.
Now Bobby & Lina are having a very stilted snack time. The dessert looks good all chocolatey and nice. However things are tense as they thought bubble, he is unsure what to say. He finally blurts out, “Do you want to be novios?” Lina plays hard to get. ------Correct me I am wrong, I missed part of this-----
Leaving them both looking kind of sad, say if you lost your appetite I could finish that little snack off for you.
Damien is in the study on the phone. He is talking to Fernando (I think that is the Tool friend of Matt), anyway it seems Tool needs to buy some expensive gift for Karlita, as if she wouldn’t do it for a bag of bitesize snickers.
Luci wanders in drink in hand. Capn Morgan always makes it right. Now, this is the same day that Luci already told Nestor that she would drink and she was swiggin straight out of the bottle. Well she seems to have remembered her upperclass status and is now chugging out of a glass. Luci doesn’t drink because she needs to, it is only to keep her thankless children from ever getting her liver.
Damien puts the squeeze on Luci for more dinero to pay off Fernando. Luci says no way. Damien betrayed her for the 431st time when he acted like she destroyed the picture. Damien says well, you tend to due things when you drink. He finally agrees to give her his 20% in the company.
Mili has followed, “Al of the Stiff Legs” outside where he is posed pensively deep in thought on the outside staircase in the garden. Mili asks him what is wrong. His wife has no confidence in him.
---Geez Al, ya think---
He will divorce her. This causes Mili all kinds of tortured grief, no you must stay for the baby. You can’t abandon your baby. Al says he is not “Her Father or in other words” RatBastard Consti. Al says no matter you divorce Hugo or not, I will not stay married to Flor. He has mucho inner resentment against Flor marrying him, knowing he loved his sister who really wasn’t his sister. He also adds he will never abandon his kid, but the continues that he will never stay married to Flor. For added emphasis he walks off again with very stiff legs. Mili is left again to wring her hands over her fate as a poor motherless child.
Mili is now looking at the picture of Ma & Pa, back in happier days…that would be before Pa sold Ma and Mili down the road.. Knock, Knock, Knock….she hides the picture…Why lookie lookie, it is RatBastard child abandoning Pa. He tries to play nice, but alas Mili is in no mood for his crap. He tries to tell her that he is concerned with her shares in the company and he would very much like to represent her. Mili says he must have a lot on his mind, like his political career, his company. Mili asks him how he could abandon his child and marry someone he didn’t love, raise her Bastard and treat said Bastard like crap. She adds she would rather have a dog represent her than have him. OH SNAP. Consti gets that constipated look on his face, but no deal, no words flow out. He leaves, Mili laments.
Meanwhile, Blondie sister is talking to Matt the Rat…He promises to take care of their business. Then he pulls out a ring box with a hefty, I am crazy in love with your money, I mean with you honey, and pulls out a stellar ring. She looks pensive for about 3 seconds then agrees. Matt says he only has the best of intentions towards her and her dinero. Later she shows him a picture of Flor, Blondie and Lobo, that is VillaLobo to you. She says he was a good friend of Ma’s, but not so much Pa’s.
---I am getting a faint alarm on my Bastarddar…Hmmm more secrets?
Now Mili and the Chiclet Posse, Gloria & Lina are talking. Lina is giving them the 411 on her date with Bobby. He wants Novios, but I think they are still just Amigos with a nice chocolate dessert. I dunno, maybe Lina doesn’t want to rush it, but girlfriend has been in love with Bobby for mucho anos.
Now Bobby is forced to look at the pouty face of Al over pizza. Bobby tries to talk a little about Lina, but soon realizes nothing he could say would ever be nearly as interesting as Al’s diatribe about Flor.
Meanwhile, Karla goes to see hawt Tool boy, he gives her a present. (I missed what happened next…I feel confident in saying I am sure it was skanky)
Now we see Mili go in and say something to Hugo who is in his Van Gogh phase and can’t stop painting…awkward moments…Mili goes to bed by herself. Hugo tossed his latest “Mother and Child” paint by number.
Alas so much misery…but wait not everyone is unhappy…
Say audience let’s stroll into the “Musky Smelling Study”, Why it is Consti and Luci yep doing hawt monkey hate sex. See I don’t get this at all. I mean these two hate each other, I have known people who break up and then just keep having hate sex. I don’t get it. I mean is there no bar in this neighborhood? I mean you have already taken a ride on that bus. Jeez there is always another bus coming in 15 minutes.
I really can’t feel sorry for Andrea and Nestor, here is an idea, while you are waiting not to have sex with you mysteriously exhausted better half, why don’t you try reading a book? Huh just get up off your lazy Ass and take a stroll to the study.
Now Mili is standing and looking forlorn and here comes Stiff Al.
The end…
Tomorrow looks like a big board meeting, which before everyone else comes in…Consti & Luci talk about how they could do the Hawt Monkey right there on the table…
Al strolls in, he is Mili rep in the company…much to Hugo fury as the veins pop out on his forehead…
I apologize to all the readers of these recaps…perhaps I have been a bit harsh with Miss Camacho’s eight grade writing class…As I was typing this during “Fuego de Sangre” I was forced to realize that the “Guapos” characters are a freakin brain trust compared to Fuego. At least Al always remember every chick he nailed and the many abandoned children were dropped off at St. Deceptions.
Okay we start off with a quickie rehash of Val & Rocky, so young so in love…okay I really do like these too and ol Val is so cute. Mili looks on with shaded eyes. Oh the pain.
Anyhow, Al goes & threatens Matt the Ratt, which really isn’t hard, I am pretty sure I could take him, and I am rather old and tired, yet without airbrushing Mateo seems old and tired also.
So now back to the show, Blonde sister is visiting Flor (yes, after all this time I still don’t her name).
She and Flor are talking about how Al can’t be trusted with the company. Al comes in and basically kicks the sisters out as he starts changing his clothes right then and there.
Mili is down stairs in the kitchen with Val and Rocky and Sorrocito. Sorrocito has given them a quenching beverage to quench the thirst they worked up during the vicious soccer game. Val is all nasty and sweaty, yeah like she could ever look bad.
Chaumaco now comes into the kitchen hobbling on his crutches. Sorrocito picks up a small skillet and says she wants to talk to him. Mili leaves. Sorrocito is giving Chaumaco the stink eye and trying to get the 411 from him. The boy is rather clueless, but finally figures out that Sorrocito thinks there may be a kid on the way.
Some guy (I call all these guys like him just TeleNovela Guy, I never know their names but they repeatedly show up in these things), anyway he starts telling Matt that he will guide Matt with the company. He says you better marry blonde babe like yesterday. Matt asks what is his name. “Lobo, VillaLobo”, really he said Villalobo, but I like to add the air of mystery to this guy.
Now Mili and Val are having a girl chatfest, Lina comes in and says she is going to meet Bobby, and that Bobby has some big declaration to make. Val says play it cool.
Now Val and Mili are soul sisters as well as half-sisters, they hug, Luci walks in and has a little hissy. “Why are hugging that nasty fly?” Val, no longer the lil Luci Clone, “Tells her STFU and Mili and I are like sisters, plus a couple of digs about cutting up the picture”. The whole “Like Sisters thing”, makes Luci swallow the small amount of bile that just rose up in her throat. Mili, rubs it in with a “Yeah, we are just like sisters”. Luci turns to run upstairs, nothing gets the taste of barfy bile out of your mouth like a couple of quarts of Capn Morgan. Before Luci, can vamoose Al comes down the steps and gives her the accusing stink-eye. Luci is like “How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is
To have a thankless child!” Thank you Wm Shakespeare. She runs up the steps.
Now Al turns his face of angst upon his might have been sister and his real half sister. Val wants to know what is wrong. But Al just marches out of the house with his little tin soldier stiff leg walk, we have all come to know and love. Val then laments to Mili how unhappy Al is in his marriage to Flor. Yes we get to see the glittering tear sheen of Mili’s eyes.
Al goes out to the garden where Flor and Blonde sis are gulping down big heaping helpings of Kool-Aide.
Al tells Blondie to hit it and he wants to talk to Flor. Flor says Sis wants Matt to handle the money and company. She wants Al to stay away from Mili. Al won’t play and tells her do what ever you want with the company.
Chaumaco is in talking to Gloria, he is beating around the bush…or rather trying to find our if he needs to be worried. Gloria says she is fine. He finally asks her if she is (regular as in monthly) at least that is the way I took it. She says yes, why are you asking, Soccorito comes in. Gloria is not thrilled with the implication and walks out.
Well that is all of that…we will be left to wonder if there is a pan in the oven.
Now Bobby & Lina are having a very stilted snack time. The dessert looks good all chocolatey and nice. However things are tense as they thought bubble, he is unsure what to say. He finally blurts out, “Do you want to be novios?” Lina plays hard to get. ------Correct me I am wrong, I missed part of this-----
Leaving them both looking kind of sad, say if you lost your appetite I could finish that little snack off for you.
Damien is in the study on the phone. He is talking to Fernando (I think that is the Tool friend of Matt), anyway it seems Tool needs to buy some expensive gift for Karlita, as if she wouldn’t do it for a bag of bitesize snickers.
Luci wanders in drink in hand. Capn Morgan always makes it right. Now, this is the same day that Luci already told Nestor that she would drink and she was swiggin straight out of the bottle. Well she seems to have remembered her upperclass status and is now chugging out of a glass. Luci doesn’t drink because she needs to, it is only to keep her thankless children from ever getting her liver.
Damien puts the squeeze on Luci for more dinero to pay off Fernando. Luci says no way. Damien betrayed her for the 431st time when he acted like she destroyed the picture. Damien says well, you tend to due things when you drink. He finally agrees to give her his 20% in the company.
Mili has followed, “Al of the Stiff Legs” outside where he is posed pensively deep in thought on the outside staircase in the garden. Mili asks him what is wrong. His wife has no confidence in him.
---Geez Al, ya think---
He will divorce her. This causes Mili all kinds of tortured grief, no you must stay for the baby. You can’t abandon your baby. Al says he is not “Her Father or in other words” RatBastard Consti. Al says no matter you divorce Hugo or not, I will not stay married to Flor. He has mucho inner resentment against Flor marrying him, knowing he loved his sister who really wasn’t his sister. He also adds he will never abandon his kid, but the continues that he will never stay married to Flor. For added emphasis he walks off again with very stiff legs. Mili is left again to wring her hands over her fate as a poor motherless child.
Mili is now looking at the picture of Ma & Pa, back in happier days…that would be before Pa sold Ma and Mili down the road.. Knock, Knock, Knock….she hides the picture…Why lookie lookie, it is RatBastard child abandoning Pa. He tries to play nice, but alas Mili is in no mood for his crap. He tries to tell her that he is concerned with her shares in the company and he would very much like to represent her. Mili says he must have a lot on his mind, like his political career, his company. Mili asks him how he could abandon his child and marry someone he didn’t love, raise her Bastard and treat said Bastard like crap. She adds she would rather have a dog represent her than have him. OH SNAP. Consti gets that constipated look on his face, but no deal, no words flow out. He leaves, Mili laments.
Meanwhile, Blondie sister is talking to Matt the Rat…He promises to take care of their business. Then he pulls out a ring box with a hefty, I am crazy in love with your money, I mean with you honey, and pulls out a stellar ring. She looks pensive for about 3 seconds then agrees. Matt says he only has the best of intentions towards her and her dinero. Later she shows him a picture of Flor, Blondie and Lobo, that is VillaLobo to you. She says he was a good friend of Ma’s, but not so much Pa’s.
---I am getting a faint alarm on my Bastarddar…Hmmm more secrets?
Now Mili and the Chiclet Posse, Gloria & Lina are talking. Lina is giving them the 411 on her date with Bobby. He wants Novios, but I think they are still just Amigos with a nice chocolate dessert. I dunno, maybe Lina doesn’t want to rush it, but girlfriend has been in love with Bobby for mucho anos.
Now Bobby is forced to look at the pouty face of Al over pizza. Bobby tries to talk a little about Lina, but soon realizes nothing he could say would ever be nearly as interesting as Al’s diatribe about Flor.
Meanwhile, Karla goes to see hawt Tool boy, he gives her a present. (I missed what happened next…I feel confident in saying I am sure it was skanky)
Now we see Mili go in and say something to Hugo who is in his Van Gogh phase and can’t stop painting…awkward moments…Mili goes to bed by herself. Hugo tossed his latest “Mother and Child” paint by number.
Alas so much misery…but wait not everyone is unhappy…
Say audience let’s stroll into the “Musky Smelling Study”, Why it is Consti and Luci yep doing hawt monkey hate sex. See I don’t get this at all. I mean these two hate each other, I have known people who break up and then just keep having hate sex. I don’t get it. I mean is there no bar in this neighborhood? I mean you have already taken a ride on that bus. Jeez there is always another bus coming in 15 minutes.
I really can’t feel sorry for Andrea and Nestor, here is an idea, while you are waiting not to have sex with you mysteriously exhausted better half, why don’t you try reading a book? Huh just get up off your lazy Ass and take a stroll to the study.
Now Mili is standing and looking forlorn and here comes Stiff Al.
The end…
Tomorrow looks like a big board meeting, which before everyone else comes in…Consti & Luci talk about how they could do the Hawt Monkey right there on the table…
Al strolls in, he is Mili rep in the company…much to Hugo fury as the veins pop out on his forehead…
I apologize to all the readers of these recaps…perhaps I have been a bit harsh with Miss Camacho’s eight grade writing class…As I was typing this during “Fuego de Sangre” I was forced to realize that the “Guapos” characters are a freakin brain trust compared to Fuego. At least Al always remember every chick he nailed and the many abandoned children were dropped off at St. Deceptions.

Querida Enemiga Tuesday July 22 '08 Last One In Is A Rotten Egg!
Another night of misery and mayhem, Querida Enemiga style. I tried to watch it twice but had to stop at the rotten egg scene. Arrrrgggh. So if I've missed anything important in this "once-through", feel free to add it in your comments.
We have a brief rehash of the workshop fire disaster and the lack of insurance. Even the tools were completely burned. But just when you think it couldn't get worse, it does....Two fellows arrive wanting to be paid for their autos that burned up in the fire. If they don't get paid, they'll take Omar to court. Zulema pleads for understanding, adding lawyer's fees will just make it harder to repay. Omar asks for a few days or a week to dredge up the money. (where he's going to get it beats me). He gives them his word. But evidently there were other cars burned as well, so there will be more to pay. Plus the workshop was rented so they will have to pay for the damages to the building. Zulema cheerfully assures him that somehow they'll start from zero and make enough with her catering business. (Right!)
Julian is moping around the livingroom, still blaming himself while the assembled females, and especially Rosy try to talk him out of it. Rosy thinks someone could have set the fire (Sara looks momentarily panicky) and Diana even wonders if it might be Hortensia or Jaime behind it. Sara comes vigorously to their defense, protesting that they'd have nothing to gain anyway by hurting Omar.
And what did they gain by making him believe that you were dead? snaps Diana. Little goody two-shoes Lorena jumps in and says, "Let's not remember ugly things" And she notes that even though such horrible things have happened, how wonderful to see the family all together again. (Gag me with a spoon)
Vasco and Omar are still outside, Vasco hoping to get financial help from friends or the bank. Omar protests that it's his responsibility but appreciates the offer of help. "We'll get out of this," Vasco assures him. (Not with Sara sabotaging your every move you won't!)
In the livingroom they're still rehashing the arson possibility but Omar nixes that. Investigations cost money. (In the U.S., the fire inspectors would do an investigation automatically. It wouldn't cost...except in the taxpayer sense). Anyway, everyone perks up at the idea of catering lunch at Mundo y Vida and starting to make money on Zulema's home-cooked food. (Feel those anvils about to fall, folks?)
Now an ugly scene with Barbara and Jaime. Even if she were saying something nice, that voice would make it ugly; but she's shrieking at him for not being at work, for being depressed, for not hiring a lawyer, for stupidly trusting Sara to work things out, and for not helping her with HER nerves.
Mercifully we switch to a scene in the company kitchen with Rosy and Maruja having a cosy chat about poor Julian and Omar's disaster. Don Toribio's therapy is working!
Jaqui and Hortensia are having a less cosy conversation. Hortensia is incensed that Jaqui proposed a menu of French food for the the Art and Culture museum opening. Mexican food? asks Jaqui. Duh! snaps Hortensia. (well, those weren't her exact words but that was the intent).
Back at Casa Pobre, Lorena is whipping up mayonnaise while Zulema gets ready to go to the bank with Omar. Smarmy Sara wants to help. She's brought rotten eggs that Chalo got for her. She deliberately drops a bottle of pop and when Lorena goes to get a mop, she drops one of the eggs into the mayonnaise, and while gagging, whips it in. (If the odor is strong enough to make Sara gag, why doesn't Lorena notice? And why don't folks notice when they eat it?)
More foreshadowing of disaster. Omar says if they can't raise the money any other way, they'll have to mortgage the house. And what if they can't make the monthly payments then? THEY'LL LOSE THE HOUSE!!! (Watching this is so much fun...right?) Zulema assures him that God wouldn't let that happen. And besides, we're hard workers, we'll manage.
Julian pops in, says the taxi is waiting. Food is bundled up, including tainted mayonnaise, and you just have that sick feeling about what's to come.
And speaking of sick feelings, now we have Ickturo (Arturo to you purists) and harlot mom having a cosy lunch. She asks him is he wants more "tinga" (check vocabulary list) and he passes but is bragging about how much money he's going to make selling cheap Chinese toys. He goes off to check on child and Mom hears his cell phone ring and intercepts a compromising message from Barbara. Does my son have a mistress? she wonders, squinching up her beady eyes.
She questions him, he lies and says the call is from the office. I'll compress some scenes here. Valeria arrives home from work. She has the afternoon off. Child wants Dad to take him to the swings like he promised but Ickturo has to return to office...he's working very hard to maintain the family. Harlot mom asks Valeria to use her afternoon off to watch the children because she has an errand....(checking up on her sons' assignation!)
She trails him to the hotel, follows him up to the room. We're treated to another loathsome post-coital scene with Barbara (no details, puhleeze!) and then the confrontation with Mom. Well, hey, she understands he needs a mistress, given what a b....his wife is, but now, it's nothing to be proud of either! He softsoaps her into believing that Barbara is supportive and loving (but you said that about Valeria sonny!). This is going pretty well until he drops the word that Barbara is married. Brief downturn but finally Mom is happy if Ickturo is happy. (This is almost as bad as the rotten egg in the mayonnaise scene. You see why I couldn't watch it twice.)
Okay, back to our other disasters. Jaime is trying to persuade son Vasco to let him help Omar out with some major money. Vasco accuses him of just trying to salve his concience as well as persuade Omar not to pursue justice for the baby kidnapping. Jaime fruitlessly tries to convince his son he just wants to help and that Omar doesn't even have to know it's from him. Nuthin' doing.
Lorena and Sara are back at the house. Lorena is prattling on about how wonderful it is to see Sara settling in. Sara can't understand why Omar won't accept her grandmother's help. She and Lorena squabble about whether or not forgiveness is merited and to change the subject she asks how things are going with Alonso. Of course they're still on the outs, as Sara is happy to learn.
Now...oooh, horrible scene with everyone at the office gobbling down Zulema's home-cooking, asking for more mayonnaise on the salad....and you just know what's coming! When they return home later, they're all happy, noting that folks ate EVERYTHING AND NOW THE WORD WILL SPREAD. Oh yes, and it will be a diasaster.
But wait....there's more. Don Toribio, after fibbing to Alonso that he's out walking, is actually driving the car and hits pedestrian Chalo (small world) and speeds off to avoid arrest. I'll compress scenes again. Chalo tries to call Sara. She refuses to answer. So he calls Lorena. They advise him to go to Alonso's clinic where he's fitted up with a cast on his leg. Nasty look from Alonso as Chalo whines about losing his job and having no one to take care of him. But he'll be back to let Alonso remove the cast!
Lorena goes to check on Chalo, he's already left. Bruno intercepts her and asks why she doesn't stop in to see Alonso. She demurs. Bruno gloats, surmising that they've broken up. Then Lorena decides to go anyway, opens the door, sees Alonso brooding, changes her mind and leaves without saying anything. More stupid misunderstandings. What's not to love?
Interspersed in all this is a brief nasty scene between Hortensia and Jaime. She needs some figures from him that she asked for and is concerned that they make Omar and Zulema believe in their repentance.
Then an odd scene where Maruja pops into Jaime's office to bring him a cold drink from the machine.. Bumbles around and knocks over something in his office, breaking it, and apologizing ...backs out of the office again. Not sure where this is going.
And yet another brief scene. Dario and Jaqui snuggling on couch. Bettina getting ready to go home. He wants to take her. Nope, Mom's waiting for me down below. Oh no, she shouldn't even know where we live.
Mommy Paula is crying, seeing that Dario has achieved all she ever wanted...a great life in a great building while she can't even go to the movies, she's so short of cash. She starts in about the beautiful building but Bettina stops her short and off they go.
Another quickie scene...Don Toribio indulging in ice cream therapy but he runs out! and with nothing to dull the pain, he has to face the fact that he fled the accident scene like a coward. And what if the guy saw his licence plates!? He'll be busted.
Vasco and Diana are late coming home from work. Zulema is worried. Omar brushes it off until they arrive with the sad word that everyone at work has food poisoning, including Vasco and the contract with Mundo y Vida is kaput. Fortunately Diana didn't eat anything so the baby is safe from any ill effects.
Zulema can't believe this latest disaster. In all my years of cooking, I've never had this. I was so careful, washing everything, sanitizing the containers....how could this be? "There's always a first time," chirps Sara and gets glared at by everyone. And besides, you weren't the only one cooking, Lorena was helping.
A little light-hearted scene to break up the endless disasters. Julian is at Rosy's house. Mom isn't home. The smooching gets hot and heavy and Julian tries to call a halt, since he promised never to go into Rosy's room and rumple the sheets again. Maybe they should just chill and watch a movie. Or....we could make love somewhere besides my room...like, say...the kitchen! We leave our little couple still making out on the couch. At least someone is happy tonight.
At Paula's house, the sadder but wiser gals are once more playing cards and dishing about Paula's miserable love life. She's bemoaning the fact that Jaqui's living like a queen, enjoying all the perks of Dario's success that she should have received.
Lorena has come to check on Chalo who's still whining about needing more attention. Are you just going to leave me here like a dog? Is it because Alonso's jealous? If he were really a good guy, he wouldn't resent your doing a good deed.
While he's casting doubt in Lorena's mind about Alonso, Paula is doing the same with her brother. If you're jealous, maybe there's a reason. I was never jealous of Dario until he started cheating on me with that tramp. Before that, I trusted him completely. Better keep your eyes open, bro'.
There's a storm going on during that conversation (SYMBOLISM ALERT) but the storm is having a different effect on Lorena. She's remembering their sweet kisses in the rain (about five minutes after they met! if memory serves) and feeling very sad.
Final scene. Omar is storming around the bedroom in a bad mood. Sara knocks on the door, says she wants to talk. "Well then talk! Don't announce it!" He quickly apologizes for his remark, explaining that he's tense; and Sara does announce firmly that she's going back to work and going to ask for money from her grandmother to put an end to their difficulties.
Impactado look from Omar. And that's all the misery for this evening, folks.

Ana Garcia of La Villa Bonita, a cooking school in Mexico, makes this tinga (the common term for "messy stew") with cooked chicken, lots of tomatoes, and chipotle chili peppers. Regions throughout Mexico have a version. This one comes from the state of Puebla - hence the word poblana. Authentic versions use lard, but it's fine to substitute vegetable oil. For the quickest preparation, buy a chicken already roasted and shred the meat. Serve the tinga with warm tortillas and black beans.
1
tablespoon vegetable oil
1
large white onion, chopped
2
teaspoons salt, or more to taste
2
large cloves garlic, chopped
12
plum tomatoes, chopped
1/4
cup chopped parsley
1
chicken, poached or roasted, meat pulled into shreds
2
whole canned chipotle chilis in adobo sauce
1
teaspoon adobo sauce (from the can)
1
cup chicken stock1. In a large flameproof casserole or earthenware cazuela, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and salt. Cook, stirring often, for 10 minutes or until it softens. Add the garlic and cook 5 minutes more.
2. Stir in the tomatoes and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes or until the tomatoes cook down to a sauce-like consistency.
3. Stir in the parsley, chicken, chipotles, adobo sauce, and stock. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 20 minutes or until sauce thickens. Taste for seasoning and add more salt, if you like. Adapted from La Villa Bonita

Guapos: Monday 7/21/08 "A Game of Clue, Anyone?--- Lady Luci with the Lead Pipe, in the Lounge?"
A shadow slips over the painting of Rosario and Mili in the foyer. Slash, slash, slash, repeated and repeated as the painting is neatly shredded. **Note: They shouldn’t have shown a close up of the “painting” because in my opinion it looks like one of those photographs that has been given the painted effect---it makes Hugo look like a lazy painter who’s trying to pull the wool over everyone’s eyes.
Marisela is making small talk at Bobby’s…she’s thankful that he showed up to her father’s funeral and he said that despite what happened between them, he had to pay his respects. She mumbles on about not being able to forget what they were and he mumbles back about her being with Mateo now…she’s made (or unmade) her bed, now she’s got to lie in it. Bobby insists she cut to the chase, what’s she doing there in the middle of the night and what it is she needs to tell him about Al. Mari questions whether Al is the best man to run Mafia Enterprises. Bobby says he’s got all the confidence in the world for Al. Mari calls Al a thief, he stole money from his family. Bobby tells her to get out, this is a waste of time and he accuses Mat the Rat of trying to wash his hands of wrong doing by casting blame in another direction.
Back at the Belmonte mansion, we are being treated to the previews for an ABC After School Special. Gloria, our did it one time with Chamuco girl, is experiencing some morning sickness, but just thinks she’s ill. Lina tries to help her and Braulio enters the room and tells them more work and less talk. Lina fills him in on Gloria’s not feeling well and Brau suggests that she should rest back in her room. Gloria pales and the majordomo and her best friend are full of concern. Gloria’s pallor is not do to her pregnancy, but rather to what she’s noticed on the wall---the shredded painting….dah,dah.,dah,daaaaaahhh. Braulio is upset and wonders who could have left it hecho jirones (in shreds).
In the library, Damian is getting teased by Constancio. Connie is in a wonderful mood, but this is soon to be broken as Brau rushes in to tell him of the paintings fate. Connie immediately thinks it had to be Andrea.
Out in the garden, Valeria and Rocky plan how they will continue to keep their romance a secret from her family, as to not risk Rocky getting pummeled again. Lina bursts in on the happy couple and tells them of the painting’s fate. Val is sure it had to be her mother, but Lina thinks perhaps it was Karla.
Mili and Hugo are discussing the day’s upcoming game. Hugo won’t be going because he was up all night painting and he’s pretty knackered. He’s going to stay home and catch some Zs. Gloria comes in and tells them of the painting’s horrible fate and Mili thinks it had to be Constancio.
Flo begs Al to skip the game. He says no can do, as Padre Manuel is counting on me. Flo insults the good padre by saying he’s just Mili’s conspirator. Val comes in and fills the couple in on the painting’s fate and Al accuses Flo of doing it. She denies and Val says she thinks it was their mother.
Socorrito and Lina confront Karla about the painting. She denies any wrong doing and she and Lina start to fight. Soco attempts to break it up and it appears she succeeds, but more insults are flung and the girls are back to trying to pull out each other’s hair. They fight like crazy sisters.
In the foyer the cast is gathered. Accusations fly. Luci enters the room and demands to know what the ruckus is all about. Val accuses her and points to the painting. Luci swears it wasn’t her and everyone turns on her, they all start to believe that it was done by Lady Luci with the lead pipe in the Lounge. Luci leaves the room distraught and denying any involvement. Damian asks the group if they believe her or was she lying. Singing a little ditty he exits.
Upstairs, Mili tells Hugo she doesn’t feel like going to the game. He says she should go and he’s not going to sleep, instead he’s going to redo the painting for Mili. This makes her happy.
Luci cries on Nestor’s shoulder and he tries to console her, but also encourage her to ‘fess up. She’s upset to think he doubts her. He offers some more comfort but says he’s got a meeting and asks if he should go. She says yes, go. He begs her to not drink and gets her to promise to not hit the bottle. He leaves and she doesn’t even wait a beat before reaching for her not-so-secret stash. Glug, glug.
Gloria talks about the game with Soco and how she’s not feeling well. She wants to go and be supportive for Padre Manuel, but she’s feeling poorly. She runs out of the room, ready to hurl and Soco realizes that they’ll be changing diapers in nine months.
Brau removes the painting from the wall.
Fernando contacts Damian and lets him know that everything went well the day before with Karla. It is revealed that Damian is giving Fernasty some dinero to woo Karla away from him. Damian and Karla talk, she gushes over him and he apologizes, for what I’m not sure. She quotes “Love Story”---“Love means never having to say you’re sorry”. Cough—bullsh*t! (I hate that line—and Karla my dear, if he’s apologizing, and you believe this movie quote, perhaps you could figure out he doesn’t love you).
Luci and Andrea have a cat fight over who’s responsible for the painting. Luci messes up Andrea’s nails and leaves the room. Andrea realizes that Luci wasn’t the slasher, who could it be?
In the library, Karla calls Fernasty and makes arrangements for a booty call, I mean a date, for tomorrow. Connie overhears her plans and he’s tickled pink.
At the game, Rocky warms up and hurts his shoulder. Val’s concerned, but Rocky tells her the game is played with the feet, he’ll be okay.
Bobby impresses Lina with by balancing a ball on his face, just like a seal. He tells her he’s going to dedicate his goals to her…..what romantic words. He reminds her they’ve got a date later and he’s got something important to tell her. He emphasizes that they’ll be alone, just the two of them.
Chamuco hobbles up and asks about Gloria. Lina tells him she’s under the weather.
Mili and PM talk about the painting and then Mili tells him that Al’s inside praying for a 5-0 victory. The padre scolds her for praying for such a thing, a 3-0 victory is enough.
Connie stares at the blank wall.
Damian gives Karla flowers. She’s ecstatic and Connie just laughs. Damian wants in on the joke, but Connie won’t tell him.
Brau and Hugo talk about the repainting. Brau suggests that Hugo add him into the picture. Hugo’s not too keen on the idea. They discuss Hugo’s mother, Leonor. Hugo’s been working on a painting of her. Brau shares a memory he has of Hugo and his mom. Hugo’s almost brought to tears. Brau leaves and Flo comes into the room. She accuses Hugo of destroying the painting.
Al prays and asks for help for him and Mili getting back together. Mili overhears and Al catches her listening. He asks if she thinks God will help. She says he works in mysterious ways, but she doubts he’ll intervene. Al insists that he can’t let go of Mili and that it is a question of faith. They’ll be together again, God can do wonders, just think of the loaves and fish. Mili says that was a miracle. Al says yep, a miracle, just like you…you are the miracle I need. He walks away.
Andrea and Karla discuss the painting. Andrea accuses Karla. She denies. They realize it wasn’t either of them or Luci, so who could it be?
Flo and Hugo have some words about Mili and Al. You got your peanut butter in my chocolate, no you got your chocolate in my peanut butter. Flo tells Hugo that her guts tell her it was him who ruined the painting and she trusts her guts. Hugo questions why she thinks he’d do that. She says ‘cuz Mili won’t sleep with you and a little bit of advice, next time don’t take it out on a painting, be a man and take what’s yours.
During the game, both Bobby and Rocky are distracted by their girls on the sideline. Rocky gets hurt and Val steps in as his replacement. Mili scores a goal. Yeah!! Later she kicks the ball, which bounces off of Val’s head, and ends up with another goal.
After the game, Lina tells Mili she’s nervous about being alone with Bobby.
Al catches Val and Rocky together and he tells his sister that he’s got no problem with their relationship and he’ll keep quiet about it. He’s glad to see her happy and he tells Rocky to take care of her. Al glances over at Mili and he leaves. Mili stares off in Al’s general direction, deep in thought.
Flo and Mari rehash the painting. Mari tells Flo she should also have Mateo take charge of her money.
Al goes to see Mateo and tells him to stop messing in his life. Words are exchanged back and forth and Al tells Mateo he’s going to be watching, if Mat does anything fishy with the MP2’s money, he’ll find out about it……veiled threat and the END OF THE EPISODE.
Marisela is making small talk at Bobby’s…she’s thankful that he showed up to her father’s funeral and he said that despite what happened between them, he had to pay his respects. She mumbles on about not being able to forget what they were and he mumbles back about her being with Mateo now…she’s made (or unmade) her bed, now she’s got to lie in it. Bobby insists she cut to the chase, what’s she doing there in the middle of the night and what it is she needs to tell him about Al. Mari questions whether Al is the best man to run Mafia Enterprises. Bobby says he’s got all the confidence in the world for Al. Mari calls Al a thief, he stole money from his family. Bobby tells her to get out, this is a waste of time and he accuses Mat the Rat of trying to wash his hands of wrong doing by casting blame in another direction.

Socorrito and Lina confront Karla about the painting. She denies any wrong doing and she and Lina start to fight. Soco attempts to break it up and it appears she succeeds, but more insults are flung and the girls are back to trying to pull out each other’s hair. They fight like crazy sisters.
In the foyer the cast is gathered. Accusations fly. Luci enters the room and demands to know what the ruckus is all about. Val accuses her and points to the painting. Luci swears it wasn’t her and everyone turns on her, they all start to believe that it was done by Lady Luci with the lead pipe in the Lounge. Luci leaves the room distraught and denying any involvement. Damian asks the group if they believe her or was she lying. Singing a little ditty he exits.
Upstairs, Mili tells Hugo she doesn’t feel like going to the game. He says she should go and he’s not going to sleep, instead he’s going to redo the painting for Mili. This makes her happy.
Luci cries on Nestor’s shoulder and he tries to console her, but also encourage her to ‘fess up. She’s upset to think he doubts her. He offers some more comfort but says he’s got a meeting and asks if he should go. She says yes, go. He begs her to not drink and gets her to promise to not hit the bottle. He leaves and she doesn’t even wait a beat before reaching for her not-so-secret stash. Glug, glug.
Gloria talks about the game with Soco and how she’s not feeling well. She wants to go and be supportive for Padre Manuel, but she’s feeling poorly. She runs out of the room, ready to hurl and Soco realizes that they’ll be changing diapers in nine months.
Brau removes the painting from the wall.
Fernando contacts Damian and lets him know that everything went well the day before with Karla. It is revealed that Damian is giving Fernasty some dinero to woo Karla away from him. Damian and Karla talk, she gushes over him and he apologizes, for what I’m not sure. She quotes “Love Story”---“Love means never having to say you’re sorry”. Cough—bullsh*t! (I hate that line—and Karla my dear, if he’s apologizing, and you believe this movie quote, perhaps you could figure out he doesn’t love you).
Luci and Andrea have a cat fight over who’s responsible for the painting. Luci messes up Andrea’s nails and leaves the room. Andrea realizes that Luci wasn’t the slasher, who could it be?
In the library, Karla calls Fernasty and makes arrangements for a booty call, I mean a date, for tomorrow. Connie overhears her plans and he’s tickled pink.
At the game, Rocky warms up and hurts his shoulder. Val’s concerned, but Rocky tells her the game is played with the feet, he’ll be okay.
Bobby impresses Lina with by balancing a ball on his face, just like a seal. He tells her he’s going to dedicate his goals to her…..what romantic words. He reminds her they’ve got a date later and he’s got something important to tell her. He emphasizes that they’ll be alone, just the two of them.
Chamuco hobbles up and asks about Gloria. Lina tells him she’s under the weather.
Mili and PM talk about the painting and then Mili tells him that Al’s inside praying for a 5-0 victory. The padre scolds her for praying for such a thing, a 3-0 victory is enough.
Connie stares at the blank wall.
Damian gives Karla flowers. She’s ecstatic and Connie just laughs. Damian wants in on the joke, but Connie won’t tell him.
Brau and Hugo talk about the repainting. Brau suggests that Hugo add him into the picture. Hugo’s not too keen on the idea. They discuss Hugo’s mother, Leonor. Hugo’s been working on a painting of her. Brau shares a memory he has of Hugo and his mom. Hugo’s almost brought to tears. Brau leaves and Flo comes into the room. She accuses Hugo of destroying the painting.
Al prays and asks for help for him and Mili getting back together. Mili overhears and Al catches her listening. He asks if she thinks God will help. She says he works in mysterious ways, but she doubts he’ll intervene. Al insists that he can’t let go of Mili and that it is a question of faith. They’ll be together again, God can do wonders, just think of the loaves and fish. Mili says that was a miracle. Al says yep, a miracle, just like you…you are the miracle I need. He walks away.
Andrea and Karla discuss the painting. Andrea accuses Karla. She denies. They realize it wasn’t either of them or Luci, so who could it be?
Flo and Hugo have some words about Mili and Al. You got your peanut butter in my chocolate, no you got your chocolate in my peanut butter. Flo tells Hugo that her guts tell her it was him who ruined the painting and she trusts her guts. Hugo questions why she thinks he’d do that. She says ‘cuz Mili won’t sleep with you and a little bit of advice, next time don’t take it out on a painting, be a man and take what’s yours.
During the game, both Bobby and Rocky are distracted by their girls on the sideline. Rocky gets hurt and Val steps in as his replacement. Mili scores a goal. Yeah!! Later she kicks the ball, which bounces off of Val’s head, and ends up with another goal.
After the game, Lina tells Mili she’s nervous about being alone with Bobby.
Al catches Val and Rocky together and he tells his sister that he’s got no problem with their relationship and he’ll keep quiet about it. He’s glad to see her happy and he tells Rocky to take care of her. Al glances over at Mili and he leaves. Mili stares off in Al’s general direction, deep in thought.
Flo and Mari rehash the painting. Mari tells Flo she should also have Mateo take charge of her money.
Al goes to see Mateo and tells him to stop messing in his life. Words are exchanged back and forth and Al tells Mateo he’s going to be watching, if Mat does anything fishy with the MP2’s money, he’ll find out about it……veiled threat and the END OF THE EPISODE.
